(A)
In the UK, a group of campaigners (活动
家)have declared the last Saturday in November as National Buy Nothing Day. “Our message is clear: shop less, live more !” says organizer Michael Smith. “The challenge is to try simpl e living for a day. Spend time with family and friends, rather th an spending money on them. Anyone can take part, provided they spend a day without spending.”
On Buy Nothing Day, they take to the streets to tackle consu mers. They dress as pigs to symbolize greed. They offer to cu t up credit cards and hand out shopping bags with the words “another useless thing I don’t need” written on the side. Some hold street parties to show shoppers that it is possible to have fun without spending money. Others go into shops and put n otes saying “don’t buy me” inside clothes and shoes.
Some protestors (抗议
者) are working against powerful forces. Many retailers (零售商) and manufacturers depend on Christmas sales for most of their profits. Around two thirds of GDP in the West is made u p of consumer spending. If this drops, many people will lose t
heir jobs. At least that will make it easier for them to buy nothi ng.
And there is also the risk that the campaigners will be seen as killjoys, who want to stop people enjoying themselves. “Th ere’s a fun side to this,” says Michael Smith. “To some it’s a p rotest, but it’s also a street party. We’re not saying that people are bad because they go shopping, but we need get the mes sage across for people to consume wisely. And after we’re fini shed, we’ll probably go for a drink.”

Using the telephone for business purpose is different. In a ny organization the person on the telephone represents the c ompany and gives an impression of the firm to the outside wo rld.

You should try to give an impression of an efficient, friendl y, progressive company eager to give good service.
Before calling
Choose the right time. Consider the cost, urgency and conve nience. When calling overseas, you need to consider the time difference.

Plan your call. Make a list of points and questions to be raised .
Be prepared. Gather any files, papers or information that may be needed during the call. It is unprofessional to have to say “Hold on while I look for that.”
If you have to ask a caller to hold on, keep going back and assuring him/her that you will be as quick as possible.
Avoid interruptions. Call at a time when you are unlikely to be distracted (分心).
During the call
Be courteous, polite. Make time for suitable greetings like “How are you today, Jim?” and “Did you enjoy your holiday”? Put a smile in your voice. Remember, your caller can not see you, so use intonation to good effect and try to sound confide nt, decisive, helpful, and interested.
Check your notes. Look back at your notes to ensure that y
ou have covered everything and quote figures and other data correctly.
Get feedback. Make sure the caller understands the message correctly, especially deadlines and actions that are involved. Be courteous. Finish by thanking the caller for his or her time and trouble.
After the call
Make notes. Let it become a habit to make notes of the ca ll and place them in an appropriate file.
