Sight interpret the following passage. Ⅴ. Sight Interpreting 3. More Practice Tom: I’d like to take money into consideration, Mr. President. First, the government has provided exporting companies with some privileges. Among them, the most important one is tax concessions. And second, I think Ben would agree that we have had enough potential capacity to develop our market abroad. In return, we can use it to grow the domestic market. What’s more, can we afford to run at half speed? CEO: Great. So the idea is we use the export market to digest the overflow from the home market. Ben: If I could just say a few words about Tom’s first point for a moment. We’ve seen these government concessions before they’re very limited and the politicians cut them down just as soon as they’re short of money. Sight interpret the following passage. Ⅴ.

Meanwhile perhaps it’s time for a cup of tea! Let’s stop here.
