　　     如何使用《实用外贸英语口语》呢？我认为《实用外贸英语口语》通俗易懂，至少可以有三种使用方法：
　　     一、《实用外贸英语口语》可以作为国际贸易专业本科生口语课的教材，让学生通过《实用外贸英语口语》既掌握国际贸易实务的各个环节，也练习了英语口语，一举两得。
　　     二、《实用外贸英语口语》也可以作为从事外贸工作的人员自学的书籍。工作人员公务繁忙，很难有机会系统地学习外贸英语，因此，他们可以通过学习此书提高自己的外语水平。

    (After they finish drinking, all the people settle down to the meal. However, before they start, Wang Hua asked Mr. Guiberson what he would like to use to have his meal.)
    W: Which do you prefer? Chopsticks or knives and forks?
    G: When in Rome do as the Romans do. I would like to try the chopsticks, but l am not sum if I can manage them. Would you please show me how to use them?
    W: It is my pleasure. Let me show you. Just hold them in your right hand like this. Put both sticks between your thumb and your forefinger. See, just like this.
    G: I see. Am I doing fight?
    W: Yes, quite fight. Use thumb, the forefinger and the middle finger to hold one of the chopsticks.
    G: What shall I do next?
    W: Try to keep one still and make the other move, making them work like pincers. Move it back and forth.
    G: Is it like this?
    Z: You are learning very fast. Practice makes perfect.
    G: I am so glad that I can enjoy a Chinese dinner with chopsticks.
