Прочитайте текст и ответьте, верны ли утверждения ниже.
Most US companies will call the top or highest ranking corporate officer the Chief Executive Officer or the CEO, whereas in the UK Managing Director is the preferred designation. There is some overlap of course, some British companies which are now using CEO and vice versa, but at least traditionally these were the two titles for each region.
Now, as you know, either the CEO or the Managing Director typically reports to the Board of Directors and Board of Directors is another designation that has slight, subtle differences with respect to capitalisation in the US and the UK.
One final thing when it comes to CEO or Managing Director that is what is an acting CEO? And if you see this before the title of a corporate office, an acting CEO or acting whatever, could be acting secretary or what have you, this generally means that it is an officer that's working in an intern capacity, temporarily. It signifies that they have not yet or will not become the permanent position holder. So if someone is the acting CEO they do have all the powers of the CEO for that time period and can act just as any other CEO would be able to but it means that they have not yet assumed the position of permanent CEO. They may or may not assume that position in the future. Generally it happens when, in the interim, when a CEO has stepped down, resigned or been removed and somebody else has to temporarily act in his or her place.
Is it True or False?
- CEO is a short form for the Chief Executive Officer.
- The Chief Executive Officer is a higher position than the Managing Director.
- At the top of the company hierarchy is the Board of Directors.
- An acting CEO has all the powers of a CEO.
- An acting CEO appears when a CEO needs an assistant.

Заключение
Методические принципы построения учебного пособия определялись конкретными задачами, вытекающими из его основной цели - сформировать навыки устной и письменной речи в ситуациях делового общения в профессиональной сфере. Основной акцент в пособии сделан на развитие навыков ведения переговоров в условиях глобализации и написания различных видов деловых писем.
По окончании курса делового иностранного языка студент знает специфику официально-делового стиля английского языка, лексические и синтаксические особенности стиля деловой корреспонденции, правила перевода текстов такого рода. Молодой специалист получил навыки ведения переговоров в различных культурных контекстах. Постижение особенностей культурного пространства всё чаще становится неотъемлемой составляющей при изучении делового иностранного языка в Российских вузах, поскольку обеспечивает адекватную межкультурную коммуникацию. Студент также научился составлять резюме, сопроводительное письмо, проходить собеседование на должность инженера-строителя, оформлять и писать различные виды деловых писем (запросы, оферты, заказы, жалобы и т.д.), с которыми приходится иметь дело строительным организациям. Кроме того, изучена специфика создания служебных записок, сообщений по факсу и электронной почте. Усвоена структура иностранной компании, ее деятельность и управление, основные типы компаний в англоязычных странах.
В соответствии с поставленными целями, теория и практические упражнения построены так, чтобы студент смог самостоятельно изучить необходимый материал в случае своего отсутствия на аудиторном занятии: извлечь ключевые моменты теории с постепенным применением их на практике (от упражнения к упражнению), с детализацией и закреплением. С этой целью, например, предусматриваются аутентичные примеры написания резюме, деловых писем, ведения переговоров; задания на дополнение уже готовых деловых писем, лексические упражнения, развивающие языковую догадку и, наконец, задания, требующие создания собственных монологических и диалогических сообщений в письменной или устной форме. Справочная информация, представленная в приложениях, ускоряет процесс составления деловых писем на английском языке.
Разнообразные деловые игры, которые имитируют ситуации профессиональной деятельности инженеров-строителей, мотивируют студентов к изучению дисциплины и обучают решению профессиональных задач на английском языке. Коммуникативные задания формируют навыки, необходимые для достижения положительных результатов в ситуациях реального общения.
Предложенные аспекты теории и практики способствуют активному усвоению не только официально-деловой лексики, но и строительной терминологии.
