    Will you please point out and explain errors in this text? The factory XXX is located in Russia and produces baby food for Russian market. The weakened Russian Economy and rapidly changing marketplace have a direct impact on company’s sales. Thus, during the period of economic and political uncertainty of Russia it was very important to incorporate scenario-based planning and econometric modeling to identify the potential impact of changes conditions. During the planning process, I identify the economic indicators that impact the baby food business and build a financial model to establish a historical relationship between organizational performance and economic indicators. By analyzing the ripple effects of the different versions of a weakened Russian economy, I can identify contingency plans and tactical, operational solutions.

    The historical background for the item 6 seems to be wrong..

    <em>But, it wasn’t always like this. It started out as being, If I was you, I would go to the party because I usually goes with was (e.g., I was late). But, for some reason, English speakers were saying it wrong so often that it was finally accepted as right. So, don’t get too stuck on grammar, because it can change.</em>

     

    Here is the BBC's explanation on this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/specials/1837_aae/page3.shtml

    Why "you've gotta help me find them!" and not "to find"? Isn't it an infinitive? The whole phrase from the article is "Oh my god, someone has stolen my shoes, you've gotta help me find them!"

    I agree with this quote.

    The good news is that you don't need to avoid criticism. It's an important feedback.

    Criticism can be expressed in different forms, offensive or not. But it's a matter of one's manners.

    Please pay attention to audio quality

    Hi everyone!

    I'm a newbee here, registered yesterday and now learning how things work here.

    When watching video-presentation of professional teachers I noticed that many people do not pay enough attention to technical aspects of tuition: audio and (less important) video quality.

    Internal microphone of a noisy laptop can ruin your excellent pronounciation. Incorrect arrangement of mic and speakers can also induce severe echo and make Skype to alter the voice trying to reduce echo.

    Using a headset in such case would be a better option (don't buy the cheapest one, adding another $10-20 can make huge difference for the quality).

    Nevertheless some teachers have excellent setup and they sound as if would seat in the same room. Their investments in technical side of the process will definitely be covered by deservedly higher hour rate :)

    Работа 3

    Сегодня я закрыла сделку по покупке ресторана для клиентов своей коллеги. Она собиралась в отпуск и планировала завершить дело до отъезда. Но дата сдвинулась из-за внезапного изменения договоренностей между сторонами. В первоначальной редакции договора, наши клиенты должны были заплатить определенную сумму на дату выполнения с последующей доплатой. Но их бухгалтер вдруг предложил, что было бы выгоднее с налоговой точки зрения (from a tax perspective) заменить отсроченный платеж зарплатой по договору консультирования (to replace the deferred consideration with a salary payment under a consultancy agreement). То есть, продавец получит вторую сумму в виде оплаты услуг бизнес-консультанта, хотя на самом деле после продажи его участие в деле будет минимальным. Благодаря тому, что вторая сумма будет выплачена в виде зарплаты, нашим клиентам придется заплатить гербовый сбор (stamp duty) только на первую сумму, в то время как обычно приходится уплатить сбор на всю сумму покупки. Но есть риск, что это будет воспринято как уклонение от уплаты налогов.
