The company imports TV’s, radios, stereos, and related electronic products from other countries.Dialogue One Importing George: Well, Ben, have you heard the good news?Ben: No. What are you talking about?George: The government just announced that they’re doing away with import duties on TV’s and stereos.Ben: You’re kidding. That’s great.Dialogue One Importing George: Yes. After the first of next month, the import duties will be reduced to 20 percent on stereos and 30 percent on TV’s. Then, after six months, there will be no duties at all.Ben: That’s quite a jump. The import duties on both have been 80 percent for the last ten years.Dialogue One Importing George: Yeah, well, the announcement said that the government decided to lower and then abolish the duties because local manufacturers are charging too high prices.Ben: Well, I agree with them. We’ve had a hard time competing, too. Now, things will be easier. Hey, wait a minute. What about the import quotas?Dialogue One Importing George: Oh, the quotas are the same, but they will be lifted altogether after one year.Ben: We’d better get to work on some new marketing plans.George: Yes. We have to decide how much lower prices will be, and we have to do some heavy advertising.Dialogue One Importing Ben: Let’s start with stereos since the duty will be lower. And we can work on the TV’s later.George: All right. Let’s get to work.Language Study1. stereos 立体声( stereo的名词复数 )；立体声音响器材2. electronic products电子制品；电子产品3. do away with废除；消灭；去掉；涤除4. import duty进口税5. be reduced to减少到；缩短到6. abolish废除；取消；革除；消灭；撤销7. manufacturer制造商，制造厂；厂主；厂商8. charge索价；充电；装载；控诉；记账Language StudyLanguage Study9. import quota进口配额；进口限额10. marketing plan市场推广计划；销售计划11. advertising广告；做广告；广告业Dialogue Two ExportingLaura works for
