When a company takes action, it will be able to see
Results, rather than guess the results. If a company doesn't try something new, another Company will probably try it first. Unless a company tries new ideas, it won't make any Progress.
2. are close to the customer They get their ideas from the people they serve; they listen carefully to their customers. 3. encourage independence and ingenuity They don't hold people back; they encourage people to be creative and to take risks. They support experimentation. 4. work for productivity through people They treat everyone in the company as an important source of ideas; they never encourage a "we/they" management/ worker situation. 5. keep "quality" as the basic philosophy of the organization Quality is the most important thing, not status, organization, resources, or technology. 6. stick to their own business They don't get involved in things that are outside of their area of expertise; they don't acquire jobs or businesses they don't know how to run. 7. keep their organization simple and their staff to a minimum Their structures and systems are simple; they avoid having too many managers. 8. are both centralized and decentralized Control is loose because workers at all levels have authority and responsibility; on the other hand, control is tight because top management decides the basic direction of the company. Activity Think about the various descriptions of creativity, innovation, and excellence in this chapter. Try to put these ideas to use as you consider the problems of teaching and learning a language. Imagine that you and your classmates are educational consultants. You have been asked to design a program for a private language school. Separate into small groups. Discuss your ideas on the best ways to learn languages. Then, as a group, make a list of recommendations for planning a language program. Be sure to consider the following and to add any of your own ideas: 1. How many students should there be per class? How many different teachers should students have? 2. How many hours a day should students have classes? When should the classes be offered? 3. What kinds of classes should be offered? 4. Should there be a language lab? Should use of the lab be optional or mandatory? Remember that both money and time may be problems for the students. Some may be working. Some may have families. Many will not be able to afford expensive classes. How should you plan if you want to offer economical and effective classes?
Exercise 18: Wish Underline the verbs in the dependent clauses. Do the verbs refer to the present, past, or future? Indicate the time frame of each. Then, rephrase each sentence to show its meaning. Examples:I wish I were going to go to Spam. (I m probably not Going to go to Spain, but I would like to.) I wish that you were here. (You're not here, and I miss You.) I wish that I had gone with you. (I didn't go with you. I Regret that.)
1. I wish that I had saved more money. 2. I wish that I had enough money to go to Spain. 3. I wish that plane tickets were cheaper. 4. I wish that the airlines would lower the fares. 5. I wish that I were flying to Madrid. 6. I wish that I had studied Spanish. 7. I wish that I could study in Spain. 8. I wish that I knew how to speak Spanish.
Exercise 19: Wish North Americans love to put bumper stickers on their cars. One popular type of bumper sticker begins, "I'd rather be...," meaning "I wish I were..." It tells about our hobbies and interests. Rephrase the following sentences to use wish. Example: I'd rather be skiing. I wish I were skiing.
1. I'd rather be sailing. 2. We'd rather be jogging. 3. I'd rather be in Paris. 4. I'd rather be windsurfing. 5. We'd rather be playing tennis.
6. I'd rather be in Rio. On Your Own Right now you are studying English. As you are reading this, what do you wish you were doing (or not doing)? Give at least six sentences. Exampl e: I wish I were swimming. I wish I didn't have to do this work. I wish I could go to the beach....
Exercise 20: Wish In pairs, take turns making statements and responses. Use the example as a model. Change nouns to pronouns when necessary. Example:My cousin had the chance to study abroad. My cousin had the chance to study abroad. Don't you wish that you had had the chance to study Abroad, too? Of course. (Or: Not really.)
1. My nephew went to Japan last year. 2. My brother got a scholarship at the university. 3. My father learned to speak German. 4. My niece worked in South America. 5. My sister got her degree in business. 6. My sister-in-law took a lot of computer classes. On Your Own Each of us has to make choices, and sometimes we make the wrong ones. Think of three bad choices that you have made: in your studies, your career, or some recent decision or problem. Looking back, what do you wish that you had done? Create at least four sentences telling what you wish you had done. Activity The verbs hope and wish often represent the attitudes of the optimist and the pessimist. The optimist hopes that everything will work out, while the pessimist wishes it would. In small groups, write short dialogues that include people who are optimistic and people who are pessimistic. The dialogue may be serious or it may be comical. Here are some suggestions for topics:
1. The menu at the dormitory tonight: Imagine that you all live in a dormitory. The food is notoriously bad! Some of you would like to send the cook to the moon or at least to a cooking school. Yet a few of you try to be kind in your attitude toward the cook. You optimistically hope for a miracle. 2. The first date with a new boy friend/girlfriend: Most of us are nervous before a first date. Imagine that you are going out with a new person tonight. You will have to meet his or her family, and you hope to make a good impression on everyone. Yet, you are worried about not saying and doing the right things. Be sure to include a role for everyone in your group. After you have finished, role-play your dialogues for the class. Exercise 21: Complete the following sentences in your own words.
1. I don't have much money this month; otherwise, I might.... 2. I have a lot of homework tonight; otherwise, we could.... 3. I am out of shape; otherwise, I.... 4. I'm afraid of the ocean; otherwise.... 5. I don't know how to...; otherwise....
Exercise 22: Imaginative Conditional Sentences Present or Unspecified Time Imaginative conditional sentences express conditions that the speaker or writer thinks of as unlikely, untrue, or contrary to fact. They may be wishes and dreams, or they may express advice to others. The following conditional sentences refer to the moment of speaking or to habitual activities, depending on the context.
If I had more money, I might travel. If I spent less money, I could save more. If I were rich, I would visit every country. If I were you, I would try to save more money.
A modal auxiliary is used in the main clause. The subjunctive is used in the if clause. In most cases, this form is the same as the simple past tense. For the verb be, however, were is used for all persons in formal English.
Answer the following questions in your own words. 1. Where would you be if you weren't here (in this class, city, etc.)? What might you be doing?
2. If you had the chance to go anywhere you wanted, where might you go? Where would you go if you could return to some place for another visit? 3. If you could travel differently, how would you go? 4. If you were able to go back in time, which year or era would you choose? Why would you choose that time? 5. If you had the opportunity to talk with a special person again, who would it be? Why? 6. If you were able to do a part of your life over, what would you do differently?
