Mr. Rogers: The next point on the agenda is 1_______. Could you bring us to date on this problem, John?
John Cartwright: Yes. There was 2_______. They want us to pay 3_______.
Mr. Rogers: I don’t think that their claim is well-grounded. The delay was caused by that strike at the port. They won’t win if they refer their claim to arbitration. I think we should reject this claim.
John Cartwright: I’m not sure about that. I’ve just spoken to Mr. Klimenko, the Commercial Director of the company. He’s ignored all my remarks. They’re ready 4_______ to show that they’re serious.
Mr. Rogers: If they do that, we’ll have to get our lawyers in.
John Cartwright: I don’t think it’s a good idea, Mr. Rogers. They are going to place a large order with us next year. If we decline their claim, we may lose this order.
Mr. Rogers: How much do they want us to compensate for the delay?
John Cartwright: Approximately 10,000 pounds.
Mr. Rogers: Perhaps we shall offer them half the sum.
John Cartwright: That’s a good idea. I’ll try to settle it with Mr Klimenko.
Mr. Rogers: Yes. But if they disagree, we’ll have to reject their claim … And negotiate a longer delivery time with them next year - Дополните диалог:

Pupil: For how long have manmade fibers been used for clothing?
Engineer: 2_______ have been used to make clothing for only a little over a century, but their use is quite widespread nowadays. Rayon, the first manmade fiber commercially produced in the United States, appeared in 1910.

Since that time, the number of manmade fibers has expanded to include more than twenty types.

Pupil: 4_______, isn’t it?
Engineer: Yes, it is. One of the reasons rayon is so popular for clothing is that it is soft and comfortable to wear. Most rayon washes well, too, although it does shrink when it is washed in hot water.
Pupil: Is there any problem with rayon?
Engineer: The biggest problem with rayon is that it tends to fade in sunlight. It wouldn’t be a good idea to leave a red rayon dress to dry in a sunny window. If you did that for very long, you might come back to a pink dress. And now I’d like to show you our rayon production room - Дополните диалог:
