from correspondents all over the world and the business section is very useful
too.

takes me a few hours to read it on Sunday morning.
A: what section does it have?
B: let me see. There’s the news section, the entertainment section, sports,
business, and world affairs.
A; what’s in that section?
B: world affairs? They look at the most important stories in more detail. I
find it fascinating. Do you buy a daily paper?
A; I buy a national newspaper sometimes, buy I nearly always buy a local
evening newspaper. I find the local news more interesting than national or
international news.

states. Few other stories made the front pages.

B; there’s an interesting feature article in the chronicle about doing
business in china and the daily news has printed a report about the special
economic zone near pairs. We have a subsidiary company located there.

problems that we need to be aware of, but there’s nothing worrying in the
reports. In the classifieds, one of our competitors is advertising for people
who speak Japanese.
A: that’s interesting. They must be thinking of moving into that market.

several letters printed in the chronicle regarding that controversial article on
drugs that they printed last week.
A; I’m not surprised. That article certainly added fuel to the debate. Ok.
Thanks. Can you leave two articles and the advertisements with me? I’d like to
read them.
