2. Read and act the following dialogue.
Here is a part of an interview between a Personnel Manager (PM) and a young girl (Ann) who wanted to be employed by the company. Read and act out the conversation:
PM: Good morning, Miss...
Ann: Miss Johnes.
PM: Miss Johnes, yes, right. Hi. Um, you'd like to join our team, I gather.
Ann: Yes, I would.
PM: That's very good. I'd like to know a little bit about you. Perhaps you could tell me a little bit about your education.
Ann: Oh yes, right. Well, I left school at 18 and for the first two years I went to Gibsons, you might know them, they're an engineering firm. And after that, I wanted to do a course, so I did one-year full-time PA course and went back to Gibsons. I was PA to the Export Director. I stayed there for two years and then moved on to my present company. That's Europa Marketing. Mr. Adair, the marketing director, offered me a job because Gibsons had worked quite a lot with Europa Marketing. And I've been with them for three years. I first worked with the Marketing Director and now I'm with the Sales Director.
PM: That's all very interesting, Miss Jones. And what did you enjoy most at school?
What was the course that you enjoyed most?
Ann: Ah... foreign languages I liked best. We did French and German. Yes.
PM: Mhm. And are you quite fluent in those now?
Ann: Yes, a bit rusty now, but obviously the more travel I can do the more I can use my languages and I'd like to learn another language I'd like to add Italian as well. PM: Italian?
Ann: Yes.
PM: Very good, very good, that might be very useful. Now tell me a little bit about the work you're doing at present.
Ann: Well, Europa Marketing is a marketing and public relations company and they do consultancy work for companies operating in the UK and European markets. Our clients come from all over the world. We deal with some of them by post, but most of them come to our offices and at least once during a project. I assist the sales director by arranging these visits, setting up meetings and presentations and I deal with her correspondence.
PM: It sounds as if you're very happy there, Miss Jones. I'm curious why you'd like to leave them and join our company.
Ann: Well, I know the reputation of Anglo-European and it has a very good reputation. And I feel that I would have more scope and opportunity in your company and that the work will be more challenging for me. I might be able to possibly travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more challenges in my life really....

WRITING A SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE
1. Read and translate the text to understand what summary of the text is.
A summary is a shortened version of a text or article that highlights its key points. The word " summary" comes from the Latin, " sum. " The purpose of a summary is to give a reader a condensed and objective account of the main ideas and features of a text. A summary is always shorter than the original text, often about 1/3 as long as the original. Usually, a summary has between one and three paragraphs or one hundred to three hundred words, depending on the length and complexity of the original essay and the intended audience and purpose. It is the ultimate fat-free writing. An article or paper may be summarized in a few sentences or a couple of paragraphs. A book may be summarized in an article or a short paper. A very large book may be summarized in a smaller book. A summary should contain all the major points of the original text, and should ignore most of the fine details, examples, illustrations or explanations. The backbone of any summary is formed by crucial details (key names, dates, events, words and numbers). A summary must never rely on vague generalities. If you quote anything from the original text, even an unusual word or a catchy phrase, you need to put whatever you quote in quotation marks (" " ). As a general rule, you should not include your own ideas or interpretations.

Here are steps for composing a summary:
1. Read the text for its main points.
2. Reread carefully and make a descriptive outline.
3. Write out the text's thesis or main point.
4. Identify the text's major divisions or chunks. Each division develops one of the stages needed to make the whole main point.
5. Try summarizing each part in one or two sentences.
6. Now combine your summaries of the parts into a coherent whole, creating a condensed version of the text's main ideas in your own words. "
Typically, a summary will do the following:
Cite the author and title of the text. In some cases, the place of publication or the context for the essay may also be included.
Indicate the main ideas of the text. Accurately representing the main ideas (while omitting the less important details) is the major goal of the summary.
Use key words, phrases, or sentences. Paraphrase important ideas (that is, express the ideas in your own words. )
Include author tags. “According to Petrov A. M. " or as Petrov A. M. explains” to remind the reader that you are summarizing the author and the text, not giving your own ideas.
Avoid summarizing specific examples or data unless they help illustrate the thesis or main idea of the text.
Report the main ideas as objectively as possible. Do not include your reactions; save them for your response.

2. Read the text and compose your summary of the text than check with the example below:
Global Implications of Patent Law Variation
A patent is an exclusive right to use an invention for a certain period of time, which is given to an inventor as compensation for disclosure of an invention. Although it would be beneficial for the world economy to have uniform patent laws, each country has its own laws designed to protect domestic inventions and safeguard technology.
Despite widespread variation, patent laws generally fall under one of two principles: the first-to-file and first-to invent. The first-to-file principle awards a patent to the person or institution that applies for a patent first, while the first-to-invent principle grants the patent to the person or institution that was first to invent – and can prove it. Most countries have adopted the first-to-file system. However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent system, despite obvious shortcomings. A result of countries employing different patent law principles is inconsistency of patent ownership. Include a description of the problem surrounding variation in patent laws.
Patent ownership is not recognized globally. On the contrary, ownership may change depending on the country. It is not uncommon for an invention to have two patent owners – one in the United States and one in the rest of the world. This unclear ownership often has economic consequences. If a company is interested in using a patented invention, it may be unable to receive permission from both patent owners, which in turn may prevent manufacture of a particular product. Even if permission is received from both owners, pay royalties to both may be quite costly. In this case, if the invention is useful enough, a company may proceed and pass on the added cost to consumers.

International economic tension has also been increasing as a result of differing policies. Many foreign individuals and companies believe that they are at a serious disadvantage in the United States with regard to patent ownership because of the logistical difficulties in establishing first-to-invent status. Further, failure of the United States to recognize patent ownership in other countries is in violation of the Paris Conventions on Industrial Properties, which requires all member nations to treat all patents equally. The conflict surrounding patents has prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to lobby for universality in patent laws. WIPO maintains that the first necessary step involves compelling the United States to reexamine its patent principle, taking into account the reality of a global economy. This push may indeed result in a more global economic cooperation.
By Koji Suzuki
The example of the summary of the article:
In his paper “Global Implications of Patent Law Variation, ” Koji Suzuki states that lack of consistency in the world’s patent laws is a serious problem. In most of the world, patent ownership is given to the inventor that is first to file for a patent. However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent policy. In view of this, patent ownership can change depending on the country. Multiple patent ownership can result in economic problems; however, most striking is the international tension it causes. The fact that the United States does not recognize patent ownership in other countries, in violation of the Paris Convention on Industrial Properties, has prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to push the United States to review its existing patent law principles.
