Introduction
Aim:
The general aim of this course is to develop learners' language skills; listening,
speaking, reading and writing. It supplements what they have learnt in the
previous years with more specification in conformity with the other subject
matters in the curriculum, and to be able to use the English language
communicatively in the future.
Objectives:
By the end of the three-book series, learners are supposed to:
1.develop knowledge of the basic elements of English language: vocabulary,
pronunciation and grammar,
3. be aware of the specific vocabulary and expressions relevant to their study; i.e.
interactions,
field of commerce,
activitiesinthis respect,
6
andauthentic activities,
10. practise language learning skills such as speed reading skills, i.e. scanning,
guessing, etc,
Syllabus Design
Each book of the series has the following activities format: vocabulary,
speaking, reading, pronunciation, grammar and writing. This is to ensure its
communicative purposes within the activity sequence and to motivate learners to
participate effectively. Listening is achieved indirectly by exposing learners to the
model, i.e. the teacher.
Language Activities
a- Vocabulary
New words are introduced at the beginning of the units in the form of activities
so as to be familiar to students when they appear again in the reading
text. Teachers are supposed to encourage students to work out the activities as a
warm up.
b- Speaking
There are speaking activities in every unit. They include dialogues which will
equip students with the basic expressions needed to cope with everyday
conversations in English concerning their field of study and future career. These
activities will give them both practice and confidence in using what they learn.
7
c- Reading Comprehension
Each unit has one main reading text preceded by lead inquestions and activities to
give students reason to read and to predict what they will be reading about in the
text. At the same time, it is a kind of brainstorming to what they already know
about the world (prior knowledge) or about English. The reading texts are
supplemented with various activities to help students discover and learn new
vocabulary and expressions.
d- Pronunciation
This activity provides practice in English pronunciation with sufficient
illustrations. The presentation of the English sound system needs to be enriched
by other examples and/or activities on the part of the teacher and the learners
respectively.
e- Grammar
The main grammatical points are almost given according to their occurrence in
the reading passages. They contain activities which promote practising the main
structure item. They are also reviewed in the Revision units for reinforcement
and ease in using them again.
f-Writing
Writing is promoted by exposing learners to activities that include practising
certain writing skills and sub-skills. Sometimes if activities are new, instructions
are presented to the learners where they are required to follow these step by step.
Revision Units
Revisionis crucial in language learning. There are two revision units. Each one is
situated after every three units. Language and structures are recycled throughout
various activities in order to help students reinforce what they have learned,
especially new items and vocabulary.
8
Working in Pairs or Small Groups:
The learner is the core of the learning process. It means he/she must have an
active role whether individually or in pair/group work.
The activities are either oral or written. The oral ones are done in pairs, groups, or
whole class participation, and even assigned by the teacher to be practised at
home. As for the written activities, they are done by learners at school or home
for reinforcement and practice. In pair or group activities, teacher should make
sure that students do understand the aims of the activity.
Pair or group work is not easy to organize in every class, and there may be a
noise problem to deal with. However, it is worth trying occasionally. Working in
pairs or groups encourages students to share ideas, practise and help each other,
to broaden their communicative skills.
Assessment Procedures

Types of Product Policy Decisions
The marketer has to keep in mind the product policy decision while introducing a
product. It is a competitive tool in the hands of the marketer. It involves three
basic decisions:
a-Product attribute: it refers to the quality, feature, style and design of the
product. With the help of the quality, the manufacturer can give the customers
assured quality product. Feature helps in differentiating the product from other
products. Style and design help to bring the attention of the customers towards the
product.
b-Product branding: it is very essential to give a product a brand name. Only with
the help of brand name the customer can differentiate a product from other
products. Branding facilitates the marketers in promoting the product and making
consumers brand conscious.
c- Product packaging: packaging means the wrapper which contains the product.
Packaging acts as a silent salesman. It is with the help of the packaging the
customer comes to know about the product quality, quantity, weight, price etc.
e-Product support services it means the services which are provided to the
customer after selling the product to him/her like after sale services, installation
and maintenance.
15
2.Product line decision
b-Product line filling: it means adding a new product within existing range of
products.
It means the complete set of product line produced and sold by the company.
For example; Nestle produces milk powder, sugar, tea, etc. Product mix
consists:
a-Product mix width: refers to how many products company is offering such as:
b-Product mix length: refers to the number of items in each product line. For
c-Product depth: refers to different items in each product line such as offering
different kinds of soap;Lux, Santoor, Hamam.

3.4 The Purchase Order
Purchase Order is a written sales contract between the buyer and the seller detailing
the exact merchandise or services to be rendered from a single vendor. It will specify
payment terms, delivery dates, item identification, quantities, shipping terms and all
other obligations and conditions.
All businesses broadly involve two parties, the buyer and the seller. A buyer is the one
who is looking for goods, products or services which are available in exchange for
money. While the seller is the one who is offering these goods, products or services.
In order to understand what is the basic difference between a purchase order and an
invoice let's take an example. Suppose Diva Textiles is the seller who sells all sorts of
clothes in bulk. Tom is a buyer and wants to buy clothes in a large volume. Now Tom
will have to make a purchase order and in return, Diva textiles will give him an invoice
of the amount in order to get paid.
There are two basic differences between a purchase order and an invoice:
1. The purchase order is what the buyer prepares, while the invoice is what the seller
makes in lieu of the payment receivable.
41
2. The purchase order lists the quantity and the due date of delivery of goods, products
or services purchased/ordered by the buyer, while an invoice has on it the price of
the goods, products or services being sold.
So in this case, the purchase order is what Tom will send while the invoice is what
Diva Textiles will provide Tom in accordance with his purchase. So without the
purchase order, no invoices can be generated as it explains and mentions the details of
the goods, products or service. These are in terms of quantity, price, due date and most
importantly payment terms.
While on the other hand Tom also needs to know how much the purchase costs him.
Because it is a bulk purchase, the Invoice would help him cross check whether he has
received what he has ordered.
In a gist, the purchase order is the communication from the buyer that is, Tom in this
case, to the seller that is Diva Textiles. While the invoice is the response from Diva
Textiles (seller) to Tom (buyer).

Now, follow this example of writing an order .

Reading
The invoice is normally sent together with the delivery of the goods or
on completion of services you rendered, or separately in the mail after the
delivery of goods or services.
Basically you can divide the Invoice into 3 main parts : The Header, The
Body and The Footer.
57
1. The Invoice Header (The Top Part)
Your letterhead : Your business name, address, telephone & email and
web address if available. In some countries, you must also include
your business registration number.
The words “Invoice” or “Bill” are clearly written towards the top of the
page. If you are registered to bill and collect tax, in some countries you
may instead have to use the words “Tax Invoice”. You must confirm with
your local tax authority if you need to use the words “Tax Invoice”
If you register to bill and collect tax, you may also need to include your Tax
Registration number. This can usually be indicated just below the words
“Tax Invoice.”
An invoice number. This is a serial number that you maintain. You should
only have one number per invoice issued. Hence, no two invoices should have
the same number.
An invoice date.
Your payment terms or how soon you expect to be paid; for example:
"Cash'', ''30 days" etc.
Your customer or client name and address.
2. The Invoice Body (The Middle Part)
A description of the goods you are supplying: quantity, unit of measure, price
per unit and total amount for individual items.
3. The Invoice Footer (The Bottom)
The invoice is signed by the seller and his sales manager. There is also an
important document that can be shown here. It is a 'certificate of origin' which
shows the place where the goods are manufactured and produced. The aim is to
prevent merchants from importing goods produced in black listed countries.
There are different types of invoices in term of delivery. The following diagram
explains that:
58
Type Place of Delivery Features
Loco at the seller's factory price, all expenses and insurance
F.A.S. on the docks of the seller's price, loading expenses, freight

Click on the shopping cart icon. The shopping cart is a software that acts as an
online store's catalogue and ordering process. It allows consumers to select
merchandise, review what they have selected, make necessary modifications or
additions, and purchase the merchandise.
Before typing in your credit card information, look for the "plural URL." That is,
when you go to the site's checkout page, the "http" in the URL should change to
"https." A closed padlock or key should also appear on the page, letting you know
that your personal information will be encrypted or scrambled. If you don't see either
of these "locked" icons or a change in the URL, log out and shop elsewhere.
You have found a trustworthy site with a secure checkout page. Now you are ready
to pay. With what do you pay? Cheque, cash money, debit card or credit card ?
Experts say credit cards are the safest method for online purchases as most credit
cards have protection on them. Secondly, by using a credit card, it is not just your
money on the line but also the creditor's. If you have a problem with your transaction,
the credit card company will help you resolve it. If you are at the checkout page and
the site asks for your date of birth and identity card number, be very careful as people
can manipulate this combination to start applying for new credit cards in your name.
Also, be wary of sending out credit card information via e-mail or instant messaging
as neither is encrypted.

7.2 Insurance and Reinsurance
Remember
In Book 2, we spoke about the insurance as a special type of contract between an
insurance company and its client in which the insurance company agrees that on
the happening of certain events the insurance company will either make payment
to its client or meet certain costs.
Insurance and reinsurance are both forms of financial protection which are used
to guard against the risk of losses. They both allow for the transfer of potential
loss from one entity to another in exchange for a financial payment in the form of
a premium. They each function to pool risk; however, risk is transferred in
different ways.
Reinsurance is a contract or a process made between an insurance company and a
third party to protect the insurance company from losses and major
claims.Reinsurance is insurance for insurers. This happens especially for Non-
Life insurance when the claim can be of humongous amount or in case of any
natural calamity when large number of claims happens together.
Now study the following sentences in order to show the difference between
insuranceandreinsurance.
1.Insurance is the act of being insured.
2. Life insurance is a contract between an insured and an insurer.
3. There are two kinds of reinsurance contracts: treaty and facultative .
4.By using reinsurance, the insurer can accept the whole risk and then reinsure
the parts it cannot keep with other insurers.
5. Many types of reinsurance include an aspect of liability coverage.
6.Reinsurance is when an insurance company will guard themselves against the
risk of loss.
