The Launching of the Euro

As firework displays ushered in the euro from Paris to Athens, Rome to Madrid, curiosity drove Europeans to cash machines at midnight December 31, 2001 for the first look at the brightly colored new notes. More than 300 million Europeans began changing their old currencies for the euro in the most ambitious currency changeover in history. To prepare for the large demand, banks across the euro zone disabled 200,000 ATMs in the afternoon, changing software and loading them with euro notes. Altogether 15 billion banknotes and 52 billion coins--worth 646 billion euros, or $568 billion--have been produced for the switchover.

Knowing how people can be attached to their national currencies, architects of the euro expressed hope that it will help realize dreams of a united Europe.

Across the continent, officials welcomed the euro as a sign of economic stability a new symbol to bind 12 nations on a continent at the heart of two world wars.

"We will become a greater Europe with the euro," ELI Commission President said in Vienna, shortly after he used the new currency to buy flowers for his wife. "We shall become stronger, wealthier."

His view was shared by Helmut Kohl, the former German Chancellor, who with the late French leader Francois Mitterrand had championed the single currency to bring peace and security to Europe. Kohl wrote in a newspaper, "A vision is becoming a reality. For me, the common currency in Europe fulfills a dream. It means there is no turning back from the path toward unification of our continent."

The nations adopting the euro are: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain. Those staying out are Britain, Sweden and Denmark.

Britain's Reaction to the Single Currency

Buckingham Palace and other royal residences open to the public do not accept euros at their gift shops and entry turnstiles.

The new currency was launched in 12 European Union countries on January 1st, 2002, but Britain was not one of them.

A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said the decision not to accept the euro was purely a business one and not a political statement. The retail outlets at the official residences have never accepted any other currencies. It is simply because as very small retail outlets, they don't have the facilities for changing currencies.

However, many retail outlets in Britain have prepared to accept the new currency since millions of tourists are expected to visit the country every year. In 2002 alone, visitors from the euro zone were estimated to spend more than 6.55 billion euros in Britain.

Major department stores Debenhams and Marks Spencer and a big electronics retailer accept euros, but only on a limited basis initially.

Twenty-nine of Marks Spencer stores, primarily those in tourist locations, have at least one cash register on each floor to process euro transactions. Its other stores have at least one designated area --either a register or a customer service desk where the currency is accepted. Products are not priced in euros, however, and change is given in British money.

The British Prime Minister Tony Blair said Britain will only join the single currency if economic conditions are right. A series of recent opinion polls show many Britons oppose the euro and see it as against Britain's sovereignty.

Tapescript

Withdrawing Money

Teller: Hi. Can I help you?

Peter: Hi. I've, uh, just opened a checking account and I want to withdraw 150 euros. What I want to know is, who do I make the check out to?

Teller: Well, since the money is for you yourself, you make it out to cash.

Peter: OK. W...how do I do that?

Teller. You just write the word 'cash' on this line.

Peter: This line here?

Teller: Yes, next to 'pay to the order of'.

Peter: OK. C-A-S-H. Now, I want to make this 150 euros. There, how's this?

Teller. Well, you've written the amount in numbers, but you have to write it out in words, too. That goes on the second line, there.

Peter: Oh, yeah.

Teller: By the way, it's a good idea to draw a line from the end of the amount to the word 'euros' so nobody can change the amount.

Peter: Oh, thanks. Well, that should do it. Here you go.

Teller: You forgot to sign your name. There, in the bottom right comer.

Peter: Woops, sorry. Here you go.

Teller: The date.

Peter: W...huh?

Teller. The date -- you forgot it. It goes in the top right comer.

Peter: Oh, right. OK, am I done?

Teller: Yes. That's fifty --a hundred a hundred and fifty euros.

Peter: Thanks a lot. Have a good day.

Teller: You too.

at it is considered offensive to take pictures of Muslim women here. F2: Oh. I’m glad I asked. What about pictures of men? F3: Well, yes, just be sure to ask permission. F3: I don’t know how to thank you. I’m really looking forward to the trip! F1: We’ll be right back with our final call. CALL 3 Javier and Sujeet [M4=Mexican] F1: I think we have time for one more caller. Javier from Mexico City! Welcome to the show. How can we help you? M4: [Mexican accent] I’m going to Nepal next month on an international trek. I will be staying with a Nepalese family for a weekend, and I want to be sure I don’t offend anyone. Mexico is very different from Nepal. F1: Well, ... Let’s ask Sujeet to comment. M2: Hi, Javier. Let’s talk about table manners. First of all, Nepalese don’t usually use spoons, forks, or knives. M4: No? So how do the people eat? How will I eat? M2: Well, your hosts will eat with their right hand, never the left hand. But I’m sure they’ll provide you with spoons and forks. If they are welcoming foreigners into their home, they’ll want you to be comfortable. But remember one important taboo: Beef is strictly forbidden as a food in both Hindu and Buddhist homes. Our typical food, however, is wonderful and very flavorful and healthy. M4: That’s great, because I’m Mexican, and we have great food in Mexico, too. I love good food when I travel. Sujeet, I’m very interested in culture but I don’t know much about Hinduism and Buddhism. What can you tell me? M2: Well, if you visit a Hindu temple or a Buddhist shrine, you must remove your shoes. Or, if you prefer, you can wear open sandals. Check first; in some Hindu temples, non-Hindus can’t enter. And, very important, don’t take leather things near the temple. And if you want to take picture, be sure to ask before using your camera. M4: Thanks so much. I feel very prepared now. M2: My pleasure. F1: Well that’s all we have time for today. Until next time, this is Millicent McKay in Brussels, reminding you that in today’s world cultural literacy is an essential survival skill.  Part 4 Understanding Culture Passage 1 How Casual Is Too Casual? Thirty years ago, most people in the United States, Canada, and Europe didn’t think about what to wear to work in an office. Men always wore suits and ties. Women wore suits or conservative skirt outfits. But in the 1990s, that started to change. It began with “casual Fridays”. During the summer, some companies invited their employees to “dress down” or wear more casual clothes to work on Fridays. The policy quickly became popular with employees. After this, it didn’t take long for employees to start dressing more casually every day of the week. Many employees welcomed the new dress policy and the more comfortable work environment that came with it. Etiquette had definitely changed, and suits and ties were rarely seen in many offices. Some employees went as far as wearing jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers to the office. Then some people began to change their minds about casual dress at work. Many managers felt that casual dress had led to casual attitudes towards work. Now the etiquette for dress in many companies is beginning to change back again. Passage 2 The Origin of Salute The origin of the hand salute is uncertain. Some historians believe it began in late Roman times when assassinations were common. A citizen who wanted to see a public official had to approach with his right hand raised to show that he did not hold a weapon. Knights in armor raised visors with the right hand when meeting a comrade. The practice gradually became a way of showing respect and, in early American history, sometimes involved removing the hat. By 1820, the motion was modified to touching the hat, and since then it has become the hand salute used today. Passage 3 Cultural Misinterpretations Mr. Wang, the Chairman of Board of Directors of a Chinese firm, told a story on CCTV program “Dialog” of how he once almost lost a valuable Canadian employee working for him in Vancouver. He emailed every day to the Canadian, inquiring for the index number he was most concerned about. To his great astonishment, his Canadian employee turned in his resignation after a week. Mr. Wang was puzzled how he could do that to him as he gave such great attention to his job. A Chinese employee would have been more than happy if his or her boss had showed such great concern for him or her. He then found out that, unlike Chinese employees, the Canadian took what meant great concern to Chinese as distrust. But Mr. Wang assumed unconsciously that the Canadian was more similar to his Chinese employees than he actually was and treated him just as he treated any Chinese employee.   Lesson 2 Part 1 Etiquette Conversation 1 A: Hey, Sophia. I’m making beef for dinner. Would you like to come over? B: Thanks, Mark, but I don’t eat beef. There are rules against it in my culture. A: OK. Well maybe some other time. I can make chicken. B: Sounds good! Conversation 2 A: What time are you going to dinner? B: The reservation is for 8:00, so I’ll get to the restaurant after that. A: No! In this culture it’s impolite to arrive late. You should be there no later that 8:00. Conver

Part II

Text A

When we are writing we are often told to keep our readers in mind, to shape what we say to fit their tastes and interests. But there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten. Can you guess who? Russell Baker surprised himself and everyone else when he discovered the answer.

WRITING FOR MYSELF

Russell Baker

The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.

When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly, that he seemed a comic antique.

I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr. Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed. Late in the year we tackled the informal essay. Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering us a choice of topics. None was quite so simple-minded as "What I Did on My Summer Vacation," but most seemed to be almost as dull. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. The topic on which my eye stopped was "The Art of Eating Spaghetti."

This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. Vivid memories came flooding back of a night in Belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table — Uncle Allen, my mother, Uncle Charlie, Doris, Uncle Hal — and Aunt Pat served spaghetti for supper. Spaghetti was still a little known foreign dish in those days. Neither Doris nor I had ever eaten spaghetti, and none of the adults had enough experience to be good at it. All the good humor of Uncle Allen's house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.

Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for myself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I'd learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written this thing for myself.

When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper, respectable essay for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of the Belleville supper. Two days passed before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returned everyone's but mine. I was preparing myself for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediately after school for discipline when I saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class's attention.

"Now, boys," he said. "I want to read you an essay. This is titled, 'The Art of Eating Spaghetti.'"

And he started to read. My words! He was reading my words out loud to the entire class. What's more, the entire class was listening. Listening attentively. Then somebody laughed, then the entire class was laughing, and not in contempt and ridicule, but with open-hearted enjoyment. Even Mr. Fleagle stopped two or three times to hold back a small prim smile.

I did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what I was feeling was pure delight at this demonstration that my words had the power to make people laugh. In the eleventh grade, at the eleventh hour as it were, I had discovered a calling. It was the happiest moment of my entire school career. When Mr. Fleagle finished he put the final seal on my happiness by saying, "Now that, boys, is an essay, don't you see. It's — don't you see — it's of the very essence of the essay, don't you see. Congratulations, Mr. Baker."
