Remember: a service charge of 10 to 15 percent is usually included in the bill. If service is not included, leave 10 to 15 percent tip.

In Austria tipping is widespread but large amounts are not expected.

Tipping is never required in Belgium.

In Denmark tipping is not customary. A token tip is appreciated.

Tipping is not widespread in Finland; a service charge is included in most bills.

In France and Spain small change can be left on the table as an additional gratuity for good service.

When you are in Germany or Sweden, round the bill up to the nearest full euro (minimum of 1-2).

In Greece you should leave the tip on the plate brought by the waiter on which the bill was presented.

In Italy you should tip anyone who provides a service for you. In restaurants small change (but never coins) can be left as an additional gratuity for good service.

An extra tip is expected.

In Norway and Switzerland tipping is not common outside the principle cities.

In Turkey tips are listed in U.S. currency because of the high inflation rate. A service charge is generally not included in the bill except for expensive restaurants. You pay your bill to the waiter or waitress at the table, but leave a 10-15 percent tip on the table.

In the United Kingdom wage levels for catering staff are deliberately set low in the expectation that tips will make up the difference. So, if the service charge is not included, leave a 10-15 percent tip.

SHOPS AND SHOPPING

Взято с сайта http://www.lunson-mitchenall.co.uk

One of the features of London is the number of big stores, most of which can be found in or near the West End. These stores are a mixture of tradition and modernity and they are always ready to follow new trends.

Взято с сайта http://houlishop.wordpress.com

The big stores of London are vast multistory buildings, equipped with speedy lifts and escalators, with well-planned lighting, ventilation and heating. Departments are carefully named: “ Budget Dresses ” are really cheap dresses – but no customer likes to be thought of as a cheap shopper. Then there are newer words for the new trends in fashion – “Mix and Match”; “Unisex” – that says they sell clothes suitable for both sexes in this department. There are also boutiques that sell fashionable clothes but the prices are rather high and not many people can afford to buy things there. Shop assistants who work in such shops are very polite and eager to help customers with advice. Sometimes they offer discounts especially during big sales.

Another feature of London’s shopping life is the chain-stores, in which the goods are displayed on open counters. A wide variety of goods is offered – chiefly foodstuffs, household goods, clothing and stationary. These chain-stores have branches in most British towns.

Chemist’s is a special shop where you can buy not only medicines but also cosmetics, baby products and toilet supplies, such as shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes.

You can also come across small shops like a butcher’s – selling meat or a greengrocer’s – selling fruit and vegetables, but they are not as common as large food stores.

Most of food stores, called supermarkets, operate on the self-service system: you go in, pick up a basket, walk round the shop and choose what you want. At the exit there is a cash-desk where you pay for all your goods together.

CAREER LADDER

Взято с сайта http://yandex.ru/images

When George left school he applied for a job in the account department of a local engineering company. They gave him a job as a trainee. He didn’t earn very much but they gave him a lot of help and advice with learning the job, and sent him on training courses.

George worked hard at the company and his prospects looked good. After his first year he got a good pay rise, and after two years he was promoted. After six years he was in charge of the account department with five other employees under him.

Взято с сайта http://yandex.ru/images

By the time George was 30, however, he decided he wanted a fresh challenge. He was keen to work abroad, so he resigned from his company and started looking for a new job with a bigger company. After a couple of months he managed to find a job with an international company which involved a lot of foreign travel. He was very excited about the new job and at first he really enjoyed the travelling.

Взято с сайта http://yandex.ru/images

But having worked for six months, George started to dislike the constant moving around, and after a year he hated it; he hated living in hotels, and he never really made any friends in the new company. Unfortunately, his work was not satisfactory either and finally he was sacked a year later.

After that, George found things much more difficult. He was unemployed for over a year. He had to sell his car and move out his new house. Things were looking bad and in the end George had to accept a part-time job on a fruit and vegetable stall in a market.

To his surprise, George loved the market. He made a lot of friends and enjoyed working out in the open air. After two years, he took over the stall. Four years later he opened a second stall, and after ten years he had fifteen stalls. Last year George retired at the age of 55, a very rich man.

Student A is an adviser in an employment agency

Student B is Tom Oldman, looking for a job

In an employment agency

Adviser: How long have you been out of work, Tom?

Tom: Oh, seven months; 500 of us were laid off ¹ at the same time.

Adviser: And what exactly did you do before?

Tom: Well, I started as a machine operator but eventually I became a foreman ² in charge of about fifty people.

Adviser: Really? How long did you work there?

Tom: For five years. I joined when I was twenty-five.

Adviser: And what did you do before that?

Tom: I was in the navy ³. I joined when I left school. I left when I decided to settle down.

Adviser: Oh, right, and what have you been doing since you lost your job?

Tom: A bit of part-time work, gardening and driving. I prefer being outside or travelling around when I can. And applying for jobs, of course.

Adviser: How many jobs have you applied for?

Tom: Around sixty, but there are very few opportunities.

Adviser: Mm. Your qualifications are good and you’ve got a lot to offer. Have you ever thought about working in a call centre?

Tom: I’m not sure it is for me. I could not stay all day in an office. I’d rather have an outside job in a park or garden centre, but I’d prefer to work in a factory like before.

Adviser: Unfortunately there are very few vacancies in those areas.

Tom: Yes, I’ve got to be realistic, I suppose and it’s hard bringing up a family on unemployment benefit ⁴. Tell me more about the call centre.

Adviser: Well, you would get proper training and learn some useful new skills…and there would be opportunities for promotion too.

EMPLOYMENT

 

Interviewer: So tell us about CV s, then, Marika. What are the key things they include?

Marika: Well, you should start with brief personal details, of course. You know, name, age, and so on. Marital status is OK too, but no names of children or pets.

Interviewer: And next comes education, I suppose?

Marika: Yeah. You ought to list the schools and institutions you’ve attended in chronological order. Make sure that the dates make sense. Don’t forget details of the qualifications you obtained. Remember to put your grades too.

Interviewer: I see. And would you advise people to include copies of their qualifications, and so on?

Marika: No, they don’t need to do that, not at this stage.

Interviewer: Right. Now for the part of the CV which deals with work experience. Should we go through this in chronological order or start with the more recent, current job first?

Marika: I would definitely say begin with the present or more recent job first. Then work backwards. Give a brief description of each job and try to list one or two achievements.

Interviewer: That’s hard if you’re still a student, isn’t it?

Marika: True, but you can still mention things like “I was secretary of the Anglo-German society” or give details of any part-time or holiday jobs.

Interviewer: One last question. What about a photograph?

Marika: Well, it can go on an application form or with a covering letter, but there’s no reason why you can’t put it on your CV. If I were a job seeker, I’d invest in a studio photograph – one that made me look as good as possible, rather than one from a machine. And, of course, never send a picture of you on the beach or at the party – people have sent me some amazing things!

GERMANS VERSUS ITALIANS

Germans value order, privacy and punctuality. They are thrifty, hard-working and industrious. Germans respect perfectionism in all areas of business and private life. There is an innate distaste for stepping out of line.

Family size is generally very small. Both parents often work outside the home. Responsibility and achievement are family values. It is common for young people to live together before or instead of marriage. There is greater variety of lifestyles in Germany today than in the past.

In corporate culture a strict vertical hierarchy exists, and power is held by a small number of people at the top. The corporate organization is logical and methodical; procedures and routines are done “by the book”.

The boss is respected for being strong and decisive and working hard. Subordinates rarely contradict or criticize the boss publicly. The boss gives direction and may make even minor decisions. Objective criticism isn’t given or received easily; compliments are seldom given for work accomplished.

Rank is also very important, and it would be a mistake to set up a meeting between two people of different ranks. Fast-track promotions are rare; steady progress and job security are considered more important than rapid promotion. Cars, size of office and holiday venues are all important symbols of individual success.

Cultural achievement is Italy’s greatest source of pride. Inventiveness, imagination, intelligence and education are prized. Personal relations are scrupulously maintained with loyalty highly valued, especially in families. Italians are receptive to new ideas and fresh solutions.

The family is the most important affiliation in Italy. Strong, traditional ties bind families together. Northern families live in a nuclear unit. In the south, many generations live in the same town or even the same home.

Speaking about corporal culture we must note that there is a wide diversity of organizational styles. Organizations are built mostly on personal alliances.

The boss of the company is generally the owner, chairman or managing director. The boss is respected for charisma, creativeness, empathy and reliability.

Nothing of importance is done by a textbook plan. Pragmatism and improvisation are the key to success – protocol, rules and organization charts are generally ignored.
