Visiting cards
The concept of visiting cards is of at least three centuries old when they were used by people who were holding important charge and aristocrats who do not want to be delayed by civil servants and used it to inform the arrival. Slowly and progressively, it almost became necessary to carry visiting cards as it has the name and number of contact where a person went and liked to come. These visiting cards are also called cards of call (not that sold by the purveyors of mobile services) which are used by people of marketing and those who are the purveyors of services to distribute to those who come in their contacts. Visiting cards are in forms which are easy to hold and to keep in the wallet and they contain the name of the person. They can besides contain his number of contact as well as its address.
Business cards
The cards of business are similar to calling but the intention to give a card of business is to invite someone or its circle to use products of services. A business card contains general information than a calling card and the true objective here is to inform about its firm, products and services as well as of information of contact of the person handling it. The cards of business are in general more important than visiting cards and most people keep them for future reference. They play a major role in business and conferences meeting where they have the possibility of acquiring business by means of these cards.
- Visiting cards are also known as calling cards, and are mostly used by those in marketing or sales profession to introduce themselves after they come to a person’s place.
- Business cards are cards that tell about a person’s position in a company or business along with details of education, interests and hobbies.
- Visiting cards typically contain the name of the person, his contact number, information about his birthplace and family.
- Business cards are meant to attract more customers and are especially useful in business meets and conferences.

Ex.5. A. Look through the following text and note down the reasons why:

b) the author supposes there are some advantages too;
c) the author thinks big families are better.
I Prefer a Big Family
I’ve got one brother – Roland. He’s all right, I suppose, but I wish I had more brothers and sisters. I think it must be awful to be an only child. An only child is often spoilt – they get everything they want from their parents all the time. And then sometimes they’re a bit shy or at least not very sociable because they’re not used to being with other people. Well, I suppose there are some advantages too, I mean, you get lots of attention and time from your parents and you don’t have to share everything with the other children. But I think big families are better. A big family teaches the older children how to look after the younger ones and that’s a good thing. All the big families I know are always friendly and good fun.
B. Write a paragraph about advantages and disadvantages of a big/small family.
Ex.6. A. Look at the photographs below. Is there anything in common?
B. Read the following passages and match them with the photos. Comment on your choice.
1) I enjoy the honest and open relations in my family – but I think discipline must be used when necessary. There’s never been a division between us, the children, and them, parents. Freedom has made us close.
2) I knew a girl whose parents were very strict and it made her a liar. I wouldn’t like to do anything to upset my parents.
3) As for me, although I’m an only child, I don’t feel lonely because my parents always love and take care of me. What is more, we often discuss my problems together. Of course, sometimes I have arguments with my family but despite all our disagreements we always help each other. Everyone in my family is my best friend and I love my family very much.
4) From an early age, I have always had issues with my brother. He is two years younger than me. I’m not too sure myself where these issues came from but from as far back as I remember I have been very jealous of the attention he gets from my parents.
C. Speak about the relations in your family. Here are some expressions to help you.
|
To help in hard times; to mean the world for smb.; not to get on with smb.; to do anything for smb.; to be incredibly annoying; the most important people in the world; to be attached to smb.; to get on one’s nerves; to find support and understanding; mutual respect; to damage a relationship; to bear responsibility; to get no support. |
Ex.7. Work in pairs. Discuss with your friend what family means to you. The following table will help you.
