Thank you all very much! Thread can be closed...

Thanks. But would that really be correct? -> "Generally speaking it is important to show respect for foreign cultures and the easiest way to pay tribute to someone in a foreign country is to be familiar with their conventions, customs and traditions." First, the talk is about someone in a foreign country......and then, I would change to "their"? Wouldn't that be incorrect?

Again a short text - please read through it and tell me, if it's more or less okay. Im unsure concerning the last passage... THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS: Being asked to narrate about a critical incident concerning intercultural differences, there is only one happening I still remember... A mate of me once did a placement at BMW/Munich. As his father once worked in the management board of BMW, he was privileged in a way.....he had to accompany a manager to conduct negotiations with customers in Arab countries. While negotiating with a Sheik in a meeting, the manager handed over a prepared contract with his left hand to the Sheik's negotiation team. And the reaction was....stunned silence. My mate tried to remedy the situation and whispered to the manager, that he must not render the papers with his left hand.... With a "trenchant joke", they managed to remedy the situation, but I think this is a typical incident which could happen to anybody of us in Central Europe. Doing business in the Arab world means to be familiar with social conventions and rules, which makes it indispensable to inform oneself of customs and typical patterns of behavior. Referring the "critical incident" I have mentioned above, I have to say that it is well known, that the left hand is "unclean" in the Arab world in general because the left hand is for wiping only and that's why the emphatic refusal of getting things done with the left hand is for hygienic reason. Handing over important documents might be considered as an affront - all the more if it comes to eating and you want to pass on food....take care of only using your right hand! Especially in the Arab world, there are lots of things you have to know if you want to be a welcome guest: think of the status of family and blood relationship....the standing of women....the understanding of honor......religion......the high regard of age and wisdom......the particular importance of hygiene which is extremely important to Arabs for both spiritual and practical reasons......the body language and the greetings.....etc. Generally speaking it is important to show respect for foreign cultures and the easiest way to pay tribute to someone in a foreign country is to be familiar with his/her conventions which means to have delved into the customs and traditions of the people living there in a different culture.

Hi folks! Do you think, that the summary sounds quite good and is also stilistic okay....? Cheers, Mark "Sunday, the 7th of June

Afaik is only the AR-Coating improved on newer models...but the DW seems to be the same as we all have to change.

Thank you very much! Have already read on this board about his great services, but didn't know, that he also swap Datewheels.

Hi, that's really bad news. Is there someone within the EU who can change the datewheel to the ETA?

Are there no problems with the dial (chips) anymore? Are the dials now perfectly aligned? Thanks

What about this - it's definitely my last question now with English. "We trained to speak more fluently, become more self-confident in using the English language and had to learn business related expressions and vocabularies. We also dealt with typical every-day-situations in a business context. Business related role-plays were helpful to get in contact with the business-terminology. It was really interesting to simulate phone-calls, negotiations and press-conferences. Simulating a negotiation about the delivery conditions of a Truck manufacturer negotiating with a prospective customer

Well, you would really help me. It's the last homework I have to hand in...

Would be nice if native speakers could correct my sentences...and help me to express things I want to say the right way. "After the Business English Class has started about four months ago, I wanted to find a way to improve my English besides getting the course done as a precondition to fulfill the claims for my business-law-study. So it was very helpful to me that we (as the whole group) got the advice to speak as much as possible in English – even we do a few mistakes, which we can weed out together. The only way to improve my English seemed to be “learning by speaking”, and to become more self-confident in using the foreign language dealing with every-day-situations. To reach this goal (improving my English) we had to write down our individual “semester goals” where we had to list our plans to better our instinctive feel for the English language. So I’ve chosen to watch news on CNN, speak for about an hour a week to my mate Elizabeth in English, read short stories in English, try to summarize them, etc. I got to learn, that my goals were all in all very ambitious – maybe too ambitious for my personal situation and the time I had planned to spend for the course. As we had “half-time” of the course and we had to evaluate our individual learning progress, I had to be honest to myself and had to admit freely, that my semester-goals got temporary out of reachability. Therefore I tried to do my best and find a solution to get back into line of them as Jimmy (the teacher) offered lots of possibilities to find the way back to my plan. The weekly Assignments and the different topics we had to deal with were ideal to motivate oneself and come back into line of the goals: I regularly watched news on CNN, posted on online-boards and communicated with English native speakers. I started to see the weekly English Class as a given chance to rub up my English – even it was additional charge. The greatest strides I made are with speaking in front of a class and doing small talk with strangers/people I haven’t met before. The communication training of every-day-situations was very helpful to become more self-confident in using the English language when communicating with other (foreign) people. In general I would say that I have reached my personal semester goals as my “meta-goal” was to get in contact with the English language and strengthen my existing knowledge in English. Now, it’s up to me to stay on the ball. I feel trained and secure talking to other people in English – in particular talking about business topics. Being asked for suggesting a grade for myself, I would evaluate my achievements as “B”. I did all homework punctually – even there was a single homework rather short, I did my very best and took great pains. The course itself was well structured and the teacher tried hard to motivate the group to speak together and to get over inhibitions to talk freely and openly with our existing knowledge to other people in English. The manual was interesting to read and work with – it contains lots of conceivable situations for business-talk and offers assistances for discussing business related topics in English." THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!

What about my short introduction in English (about my person and what my presentation is about)? Any improvement? Hello and good day! My name is Steven Meredith and the topic I want to present to you is "How to elect the best candidate for a job". To start with I
