TEST XIIIOFFICE DOCUMENTATIONEvery business meeting is supplied with standard written documentation. All those papers will probably differ very little in various organizations. All the documents should be prepared beforehand to inform participants about the agenda of the meeting. It will help to save time at discussions and avoid unnecessary explanations. There are basic documents we are to prepare for the meeting: the notice,; the agenda, the minutes and meeting reports. The notice is prepared to inform people when and where the meeting will take place. If the notice is sent outside the organization it should be done about two weeks before the meeting and be sent to everyone whose presence is needed. If the date was fixed at the previous meeting then the reminder notice may be sent a week before the meeting. Inside the organization many meetings are held at a short notice. Each notice should contain the following information: the name of the organization, the place of the meeting, the date and the time of the meeting, the date of the notice and the signature of the person convening the meeting. The agenda is the programme of items to be discussed at the meeting in the order in which they will be taken. The order of items is very important. Urgent matters should be introduced earlier. Controversial items, which need long discussions, should be pushed to the end of the meeting. The agenda shouldn't be overloaded with more items than can be covered in the time available. Try to avoid meaningless headings for the agenda, it may lead to misinterpreting them and makes participants prepare themselves to talk on wrong subjects. Sometimes supplementary documents, agenda papers are needed for participants of the meeting. If participants are able to prepare for discussions, the decision-making at the meeting may be speeded up. The minutes must be short but give sufficient information to enable someone not present at the meeting to understand fully what took place. They must be written in complete sentences and produce the whole contents of the meeting and a logical account of every speech. Meeting reports are usually much shorter than minutes. They are often used for display on a bulletin board. The meeting report should have clear heading and indicate the names of people having reported.

TEST XIVTELEPHONE CONVERSATIONSTelephone is the most popular way of communication nowadays. But sometimes we are wasting too much working time discussing on the phone unnecessary details of a business problem. It happens because so much of our business talking is casual and spontaneous. We should recognize that planning and preparation can be applicable to this area of communication. There are two types of phone calls: outgoing calls and incoming calls. Planning outgoing phone calls is simple and takes little time. Yet you can save much of the actual speaking time and thus much of the cost of calls. All that you should do is to note very briefly, in order, the items to be discussed during the call and have all relevant papers to hand before making the call. Dealing with incoming calls try to answer calls as prompt as possible. Take all message fully and correctly, in writing. It ensures you that relevant information is no forgotten. Speaking on the phone be polite, never use slang or jargon. Exercise self control when a caller is annoyed or impatient. Say everything distinctly; use the name of the caller. Whether you don't have relevant information in hand a the moment give a caller the chance to ring back rather than wait. If you don't understand or hear your person properly, say: "Sorry, I didn't catch that" or "Sorry?" You have to remember that it's not polite to say: "Please, repeat!" Before saying that the person is out, first ask: "Who is speaking?" and after the answer ask: "Are there any messages?" Calling across the room to someone, who is wanted on the telephone never cover the mouthpiece. Speaking business on the phone never lose your temper. TASKS 1. Translate into Russian.
