Context: Unit 1 Title: Introductions The tone of a business relationship can be set by an initial introduction. It is important to make a good impression right from the first handshake. When meeting businesspeople for the first time, is it better to be formal or informal? If in doubt, advise students to adopt a more formal approach. Here are some points to remember when making business introductions in English-speaking Western countries:
a. Introduce businesspeople in order of professional rank – the person of highest
authority is introduced to others in the group in descending order, depending on their professional position. b. When possible, stand up when introductions are being made. c. If clients are present, they should be introduced first.
d. The same and title of the person being introduced is followed by the name and title
of the other person.

Context: Unit 2 Title: Work and leisure
It has never been easy to balance work and leisure. During the late twentieth century the concept of a job for life was largely replaced by the short-term contracts favored by the enterprise culture. Some found themselves with too much free time n their hands when company restructures led to redundancies. Others saw leisure time shrink and working hours increase in exchange for greater financial rewards. The British TUC estimates that, despite European Union legislation, 4 million people in the UK work more than 48 hours per week and 1 in 25 work over 60 hours. It is thought that managers and professional staff work the longest hours.
