LISTENING
Exercise 1
You are going to hear a talk between Hector Grant and Peter Wiles. Before you listen to the conversation look at these statements, which you will mark T (True) or F (False) after you have listened to the tape.
| 1. | Harper & Grant Ltd. is on the verge of the biggest crisis in the history of the firm, but it has nothing to do with Ambrose Harper's death. |
| 2. | The shares of the company are distributed so that Peter Wiles’s mother and Hector Grant own the lion's share with fifty per cent. |
| 3. | The mattress-makers over the road, Wentworth and Company have ten per cent of the shares. |
| 4. | Ambrose Harper has left two thousand of his two thousand five hundred shares to form a trust. |
| 5. | Ambrose Harper has left five hundred thousand pounds to his sister. |
| 6. | H.G. spoke to Caroline after the solicitor had finished reading Ambrose's will, and she told him she'd had a very generous offer for the shares. |
| 7. | H. G. is sure that only Wentworth, who wanted to get in Harper & Grant for a long time, knew Caroline was Ambrose's only remaining relative. |
| 8. | Caroline can sell her shares without offering them first to the other shareholders because Harper & Grant are a private company. |
| 9. | Some of the present managers of Harper & Grant Ltd. had to sell their shares and Wentworth easily got a further interest in the company. |
| 10. | Peter Wiles is always in the red because he lives in a great way*. |
| 11. | H.G. and his colleagues have to raise a loan and buy enough of the shares to keep the controlling interest. |

| 13. | If H.G. bought two hundred and fifty shares that would be about twenty-five thousand pounds. |
