1. Read the article Bank of England aloud:

After the session on Banking Sector Mr. Hill suggested that in the afternoon the participants should visit the museum of the Bank of England. It was one of the external visits of the Programme.

The museum of the Bank of England is located practically in the building of the Bank, in the City of London. The museum has a lot of exhibits showing the history of the Bank from its foundation in 1694 to its role today as the nations central bank. Visitors can also see a video on the history of the Bank. Here is a part of the text of the video:

To understand the role and importance of the Bank better we should learn first how it emerged.

During the seventeenth century banking in England was in the hands of goldsmiths who held deposits, made loans to the merchants and the Crown. But even the wealthiest goldsmiths could not carry on a deposit and lending business on the scale the Government required.

So in sixteen ninety four a joint stock company to raise money for the Government and finance wars was incorporated. It later got to be known under the title Bank of England.

Although privately owned and financed, the Bank of England developed essentially as a government bank, raising money to finance the needs of the British Government, managing its national debt, printing banknotes and minting coins.

In 1946 the Bank was nationalized and it operates today as the UKs central bank executing monetary policy on behalf of the Government and supervising the markets in one of the worlds largest and most sophisticated centres.

Besides the Bank has always been a repository of gold...

After seeing the video the participants of the Programme made a round of the museum and asked Mr. Hill a few questions.

Participant: Excuse me, Mr. ill. May I ask you a question?

Mr. Hill: Why, certainly.

Participant: One day I heard the nickname of the Bank. Old Lady. Such a funny name! Where does it come from?

Mr. Hill: Nobody knows exactly. Different explanations are given. Many of us associate this nickname with an old cartoon. This cartoon shows the Prime Minister asking an old lady sitting on the money-chest marked Bank of England for gold coins.

Participant: So, thats it! Very fascinating indeed!

Sum up what the video said about the history of the Bank of England. Use 7 short sentences.

 

5. Read the article Marie Noiret (Managing Director, Toulouse):

I work twelve hours a day. I get to work at 7a. m. and I do two hours work before everyone else arrives at the office. I generally make phone calls and appointments to visit customers. I get emails all day and try to reply immediately. We do business with a lot of different companies so in the afternoon I do my best to visit as many customers as possible. Often I do overtime and then dont get home until late at night. It can be stressful.

To help reduce stress, we recently made a change in our office. Now we ask everyone to get to meetings on time. We also try to make a decision at the end of every meeting, so we dont need to repeat discussions.

I think most stress is in your own head. Personally, if I make a mistake, yes, I correct it, but I dont worry about it. If I leave work late, I always get a taxi home. But most days I get the train. At home my husband does the shopping and he does the housework. I dont have time for cleaning! One more thing: I do a lot of sport: especially swimming. Sport is the best cure for stress.

 

6. Decide if the sentences in the article Marie Noiret (Managing Director, Toulouse) are T (true) or F (false):

Example: 1 T.

1 Marie works 12 hours a day.

2 Marie gets to work at 7 oclock in the morning.

3 Before everyone arrives at the office Marie doesnt work 2 hours.

4 Marie doesnt visit customers.

5 Maries work isnt stressful.

6 When Marie makes a mistake, she worries about it.

7 If Marie works late, she always gets a bus home.

 

7. Complete the part of the interview with the correct form of the verb to be:

Example: 1 is.

B But you 1 English. Where 2 you from?

A I 3 from India but my wife 4 from the UK.

B 5 there anything youd like to know?

A Yes, there 6 . 7 there any Indian restaurants here?

B Unfortunately not.

 

8. Complete the part of the email below with the correct form (the Present Simple, the Present Continuous or the Past Simple):

Example: 1 am making.

Hi Max,

 

Heres some information about the new position:

1. Read the article Changing Money aloud:

In the evening a few participants went to a bureau de change next to the hotel to change some dollars into pounds. In London money can be changed either at banks, at bureaux de change or at customers services desks in big department stores.

Banks are usually open from 9.30 a. m. until 3.30 p. m. Some are open on Saturday, but never on Sunday. They accept plastic cards Visa, Access as well as Eurocheques, travellers cheques and, of course, cash. Many banks have cash dispensing machine services.

Bureaux de change are usually open for longer hours and every day. They often charge a bigger commission than banks.

The exchange rates are often shown in the running lines placed in the windows or on the walls of the bureaux de change for everybody to see.

Now Sergei comes up to the counter of the bureau de change:

Sergei: Good evening.

Cashier: Good evening, sir. Can I help you?

Sergei: Could I change two hundred dollars into pounds, please?

Cashier: Yes, certainly.

Sergei: How much will it be?

Cashier: About one hundred and twenty pounds.

Sergei: Good. Here you are.

Cashier: Thank you. And how would you like it, in twenties, tens or smaller notes?

Sergei: In tens, please.

Cashier: Fine. Here is the money and your receipt, please.

Sergei: Thanks. Excuse me, will you be open tomorrow, on Sunday?

Cashier: Yes. But we work shorter hours on Sundays. Well close at 7 p. m.

Sergei: Thank you. And one more thing. Can I change these coins of fifty cents each?

Cashier: Im afraid I cant take small change. We change only notes.

Sergei: Do you believe I can change them somewhere else?

Cashier: Im afraid you cant. This is a rule with banks and bureau de change.

Sergei: I see. Thank you.
