—Look at the sentences below and the following introduction about the types of ownership.

—Which type of ownership does each sentence 1—7 refer to?

—For each sentence 1—7, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.

—You will need to use some of the letters more than once.

A

Partnerships

On the whole, this is not a popular form. of business organization, but it is often used by people in the professions, like doctors, dentists or lawyers, to expand their business. Greater efficiency is possible because people in this sort of association can spend their time doing what they are best at. If one person is sick, then the remaining partner(s) can carry on the work. The main disadvantage is that even with this form. of ownership, the amount of money available to the business may be limited. If people quarrel or disagree over decision making there can be problems and serious delays.

B

Public (Plc) Companies

These are the largest businesses in the private sector. There is no limit to the number of people holding shares in it and many of the larger companies have their shares listed on the stock exchange. The advantage of big businesses like this is that they find it easier to raise money as banks consider them a 'good risk'. There are strict laws governing the setting-up of this kind of business and each year the company has to publish its accounts. The larger such businesses grow, the more difficult it is to control them. Workers in such businesses may feel that management doesn't understand their problems.

C

Private (Ltd) Companies

Such businesses are net allowed to sell shares to the public. They must consist of at least two members, but there is no upper limit to the numbers who own the company. The larger size makes it possible for such companies to borrow more money from the banks or from issuing additional shares to its members. The advantage is that such a business is able to offer its members limited liability (responsibility) for debts and losses. Many companies of this type exist in England, Europe and the U. S.

D

Sole Proprietorships

Sole proprietorships, the most common business form, consist of one person doing business with no legal charter. While they offer the owner great freedom and are easy to form, they also present grave financial risks. General partnerships are merely proprietorships with multiple ewers.

There is no limit to the number of people holding shares in it.

?Which paragraph (A,B,C,D or E) does each sentence 1-8 refer to?

?For each sentence 1-8, mark one letter (A, B, C, D or E)on your Answer Sheet.

?You will need to use some of these letters more than once.

A

Workshop

Workshop originally meals a room or building which contains tools or machinery for making or repairing things, especially by using wood or metal. Regarding meeting, it refers to a period of discussion or practical work or a particular subject in which a group of people learn about the abject by sharing their knowledge or experience. The distinctive feature of workshop lies in its emphasis on practical performance, he- sides the professional and academic discussions. Therefore arranged in a workshop may be many relevant activities—demonstrations, displays and operations during the course of presentation. For example, we can say: "Dr. Linda chaired a workshop on artificial intelligence and software development. I saw there were lots of computers and software developers gathered in that lecture hall this morning."

B

Symposium

Symposium (pl, symposia/symposiums) is also a kind of meeting, but it refers exclusively to the meeting for specialized academic discussion. At a symposium, experts, scholars, and other participants of a particular field discuss a particular subject.

For instance, we may say "They are going to participate in file Second International Symposium on Teaching English at Tertiary Level in Hong Kong next May. The teaching of language skills, language learners' styles and strategies, new technology and methodology as well as otter relevant issues will be discussed there." In terms of scale, a symposium may be smaller than a conference, because sometimes a conference may include several symposiums held simultaneously (as satellite symposiums). Furthermore, some meetings held by the government for political consultation can be called "political conference" but not symposium.

C

Seminar

Seminar is usually a class-like meeting, where participants discuss a particular topic or subject that is presented by several major speakers. Different from the general situation of a meeting, the presentations are mainly given by speakers, while other people first listen and then join them. For example, we can say "This afternoon we'll have a seminar on the topics presented this morning."

D

Colloquium is sometimes a formal word for seminar. It is usually a large academic seminar like panel discussion. Colloquium is usually attended by certain invited experts or professionals in a particular field. Participants of the meeting will express their ideas and opinions around a specific topic.

E

Meeting

Meeting is a general and summary term of various kinds of assembly of people for a particular purpose. If there are more than two persons coming together, talking and discussing, the event can be called a meeting. So we often say or hear "Let's have a meeting." Since the definition of meeting is rather extended and not clearly demarcated, it can mean any kind of gathering, pre-arranged or non arranged, formal or informal; the time can be tong or short; the scale, large or small; the participants, many or a few, and so on. To specifically clarify a meeting, therefore, the names of meeting should be further demarcated. '

It's original meaning is to "meet with each other", or to "put heads together."

— Which company (A, B, C or D) does each sentence 1 - 7 refer to?

— For each sentence 1 - 7, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.

— You will need to use some of the letters more than once.

A

Tour operator Jarmin Travel is waiting for its chief executive and finance director to make the final decision before making a formal bid for rival HarmonAir. The two companies tried to merge five years ago, when the deal was blocked by the competition authorities. Since then the regulator has eased the criteria by which any merger would be judged. Competition lawyers say a tie-up would almost certainly be allowed this time, and industry analysts believe that both companies are eager for a merger.

B

Bus operator Barkway has been hit by stiff competition and dwindling profitability. As a result the company has been forced to scrap its plans to expand overseas and instead will concentrate on growing its existing business. The continuing decline in the company's share price has led to speculation that it may fall prey to one of its rivals. This may well prove wrong), though, as Barkway's founder and chief executive, Kerry Matthews, has persuaded the board to do everything in its power to resist a takeover.

C

Carolyn Swaine, the former chief executive of coffee shop chain Marshmont's, is trying hard to raise capital for a bid for her old company. Swaine left last year after a series of disagreements over Marshmont's future direction, and several top managers are expected to leave if she succeeds in buying the chain. Although Marshmont's is profitable, it is too small to stay independent for much longer, and even if Swaine takes control, the company will soon have to become part of a larger chain.

D

Keston, the respected maker of television programmes, has announced that it has agreed an outline deal to merge with Stardust TV. A year ago, with its profits plunging, Keston faced a strong takeover bid by another of its competitors, but fought hard against it, and has since become more profitable. The company is now convinced, however, that its future success lies in being part of a larger organisation. Both Keston and Stardust have a reputation for producing striking television programmes, and a merger is likely to be beneficial, both creatively and financially.

This company has changed its attitude towards remaining independent.

A

If you are a secretary, or personal assistant, getting a new manager means that your job will probably change, too. The new person is likely to have different ideas about how things should be done, and you may well find that some of these are changes for the better. But remember that the new manager might be feeling nervous. If you treat their first day in the job as though it's your own first day, too, it will ease the transition for them, and benefit you both.

B

Your new manager may have different ideas from your previous one about personal habits, such as eating at your desk, and you will have to accept that. Their changes may not always be appropriate or helpful, however. It could be that you are asked to open the post later on in the day, when you know that it is important to get it sorted first thing. In this case, rather than grumbling about it and spreading discontent around the office, explain if there is a genuine reason for a particular way of working.

C

If your new manager has joined the company from outside, they will be on a steep learning curve. You can really show your worth by bring them up to speed on the company history and culture. The appointment of a new manager is also the ideal opportunity for you to discuss your prospects for training and promotion with them, though raising the subject on their first day is unlikely to give them a good impression of you.

D

If you are concerned about changes that your new manager wants to make to your job, first check your job description, if you have one, then speak to him or her calmly about it. If work is being put your way that is someone else's responsibility, say so. Make it clear what you believe to be the limits of your job. Ideally, the two of you will come to an agreement that suits both parties. failing that, consider contacting the human resources department to see if it can act as mediator.

You may be able to explore your career development with your new manager.
