Amongst them are both a decrease in a means of reliable identification and an increase in the use of websites for monetary transactions whether from online reservations, internet banking, or other types of business.

One solution to this problem would be to limit internet transactions to websites authorised by the banks,

An aspect of consumer law is used to regulate the taxing of goods and services purchased by current customers, and the after sales rights of the public. Under consumer law, the retailer is responsible for including the correct amount of tax in the price of customers' purchases on all taxable goods and for ensuring that tax on purchases is paid to the government. The operation of consumer taxes depends heavily on the ability of the taxing authority to obtain records of transactions, if the law is to be implemented properly.

Crude oil from regions around the Dead Sea was used as early as 1000 BC for ancien Egyptian mummification, but it wasn't until 1853 that the process of oil distillation was discovered and we saw the advent of the modern history of oil. The first oil mine was constructed the following year. Oil quickly took over from coal as the world's principal fuel in the mid 1950s. Oil is now used to run the vast majority of vehicles and is a key ingredient in many chemicals used in industry. However, concerns have been raised that as oil is a limited resource, its usage as an economically viable energ source will eventually come to an end. There is also worry that using and treating oil has major impacts upon the environment, like the carbon dioxide released when it is burnt and the contribution of this to global warming.

 

Questions:

1- Oil is only used as an energy source.

A UN report has warned of the potential problems of global warming. If the production of greenhouse gases continues at the current rate, this will result in the melting of ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic. The consequences of this will be rising sea levels, which will endanger 145 million people. In response to the problem, the report observes the need for an immediate international agreement on reducing emissions.

 

 

Questions:

 

2- The melting of the ice sheets is the primary consequence of global warming. 

Economic research has identified a trend exhibited by one in six Britons of hiding cash in their homes instead of investing it. This is termed the 'Biscuit Tin Economy'. It is estimated that €3.5 billion is currently hidden, sometimes in obscure places, such as under mattresses or in fridges, in homes across the country. Reasons for this are varied, for example 6% are concealing it from their partners, and 4% believe their money to be safer at home than in a bank. Researchers maintain that these actions demonstrate economic folly, and that, as a result, Britons are sacrificing up to €174 million in interest every year. This 'Biscuit Tin Economy' is betraying those who trust in it, as it renders their hidden money both unproductive and potentially unsafe, whereas it could be profitably invested in a stocks or high-interest savings plan, for example

 

 

Questions:

1- The majority of people who secrete cash on their property do so because they do not trust the bank.

A few 'Sale As Houses' alarms have been redesigned in an attempt to reduce the large number of complaints where alarms have sounded by accident. One of the new types of alarm is less sensitive than its predecessors. Studies have shown that these newer alarms are rarely activated for no apparent reason. 'Save as Houses' still sells a number of the original, Sensitive alarm systems, because the increase in threshold for motion detection means that the new style alarms may fail to register break-in where limited force is being used.

 

Questions:

 

2- The new alarm systems should reduce the number of accidental soundings by at least a half.

A new course aimed exclusively at training unemployed young people in sales and marketing skills has been started in the city center by the CPU group. Financial backing for the course has come from the government and a local private enterprise fund. The CPU course can cater for up to 180 students at a time on either six-month or one-year courses. The CPU group already runs about 30 similar programmes, primarily in the south of the country. To be eligible, students must be unemployed, at least 19 years of age and have been out of full time education for the previous two years. Depending on their personal circumstances, they may receive a cash allowance.

Although the number of companies actively promoting customers feedback has escalated in recent years, the introduction of customer feedback schemes has led to a corresponding increase in complaints. However, data has demonstrated that only one in fifteen unhappy customers bothers to complain to the organization concern.

Companies are now addressing the issues of communication channel in order to obtain the views of a wide range of customers on how best to improve service.

 

Questions:

 

2- Nowadays, almost all unhappy customers complain.

Assessment can have a number of objectives. It can be informative, aiming to enlighten the individual regarding his or her strength and weaknesses (i.e in a personal development situation) and it can be used to improve team working and leadership. However, assessment is mainly used to measure the skills and abilities of job applicants to screen them for qualities required for success in a specific role. Lively debate usually accompanies the allocation of expenditure to the annual recruitment budget. Critics argue that certain costs associated with such recruitment campaigns could be scaled down. And those programmes that are unproductive could be axed

Despite their aesthetic landscaping, ease of access and generous parking, out-of-town business parks have not turned out to be the attractive proposition that speculative developers had hoped. Their polished appearance and spaciousness have failed to compensate for limited provision of basic infrastructures such as shops, banks and leisure facilities as less scrupulous developers reneged on earlier promises or struggled with cash flow problems and other difficulties. It is thought that an expansion of home working, relying on advanced communication systems and technology, would make visits to smaller head offices situated in the heart of town centers mere acceptable.

 

Questions:

 

2- The continued popularity of business parks will be reinforced by new technology
