results."Hey, I got 62 points. The results say that I am an aggressive person. I don't think I am, do you, Carol？ And it says here that I am boastful. I am not boastful," says Jenny."Well, perhaps a little, Jenny. Do you remember the time when you got top marks in that English test and you kept going around telling everybody？ And then you asked Paul what he got when you know how bad he is at English. When he wouldn't tell you, you ripped his test paper out of his hand" replied Carol. "But look at my results. I only got 19 points. Does that really mean that I am shy and indecisive？""Yes," said her sister. "When did you last make a decision about anything？""I decided to get up this morning," said Carol."Super! And then you asked me what you should wear and if it was a good idea to go bowling this afternoon with your friends!""Yes, well. I sometimes do have problems reaching a decision but only on unimportant things."“Really？” asked her sister. "Is that why you ask Mum what you should study and where？ Is that something unimportant？ You always want something else to make the decisions and you’re afraid of getting too involved with anyone or anything."“Maybe l am just afraid of making the wrong decision,” 'said Carol defensively.Choose the correct answer.

Counter-offer

Joe, the representative of the buyer, is at Mr．Liang's office, discussing the offer with Mr．Liang.

Joe: Mr．Li, Thank you for your prompt offer．I have studied your offer carefully and consulted our home office．After investigating and comparing, we found that your price is about 5 percent higher than those offered by European Suppliers.

Liang: I hope you also should consider the quality of the goods as well．I'm sure you know very well that our product is made of pure silk．This, of course, increases the cost but promises the superior quality.

Joe: I will agree with you about the importance of quality．But 5 percent is a big difference which we can't not accept because that will leave us little benefit in the intense competition on the world market.

Hang: We can give you a 2 percent discount if your quantity can be adjusted up to 10 000 pieces．And we have confidence that even your selective customers will be satisfied with the fashionable design and superb quality of our goods.

Joe: I am afraid 2 percent is not enough for us to open a new market for your products．We believe 4 percent at least will make your product more competitive.

Liang: I'm afraid we can't give 4 percent reduction by all means．Considering you are a new customer, a 3 percent reduction is really the best we can do.

Joe: Well, Mr．Li, does this price include seaworthy packing？

Liang: The outer packing is for container transportation．That is the usual practice.

Joe: How long will this offer be valid？

Liang: Within one week.

Joe: I'll try to persuade our head office to accept the price with 3 percent discount and inform you of the answer at an early date.

Hang: We will await your good reply.
