Re: Market Leader Pre Intermediate 3rd Edition Cd
Sofia Gilcrease
The Market Leader series text is possibly one of the best out on the market since it comes in an array of levels and it presents Business English with an understandable yet interesting approach. Full of authentic business material, it will help any business person speak English. The third level in the series, Intermediate, is a nice step up from the Pre-Intermediate level despite its slight shortcomings.

Mitch. A Gallup survey done for the US Information Agency estimated that 600,000 adults in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador might try to migrate to the US in the summer of 1999; the survey estimated that 292,000 had already left home for the US, including 106,000 Hondurans, 3.5 percent of that country's adults. According to the poll, most Central Americans who are preparing to try to enter the United States believe they will be allowed to stay even without proper documents.
Gallup did in-person interviews between February 20-25, 1999 with a representative sample of 1,000 people over age 18.
The INS reported that 250 Central Americans were found in so-called drop houses in the Phoenix area; they attributed the apprehensions to increased migration as a result of Hurricane Mitch. Phoenix has been a hub from which migrants smuggled into the US through the desert are distributed throughout the US. After 1,000 illegal immigrants were detained in Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport in early April, smugglers shifted to rental vans to move migrants.
Mexico. In 1999, some 57 percent of Mexico's 94 million residents were considered non-poor, 15 percent in intermediate poverty, and 28 percent in extreme poverty. The percentages for the 84 million residents in 1992 were 56, 28, and 16; for the 71 million residents in 1984, the percentages were 58, 27, 15. These National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Information data show that many residents in the 1990s fell from intermediate to extreme poverty.
The Mexican population growth rate peaked at 3.3 percent in 1970, when 45 percent of Mexican residents were under 15 years of age. By 1995, the growth rate had fallen to 1.9 percent and about 33 percent of Mexican residents were under 15; by 2030, the growth rate is projected to be 1.3 percent, and about 20 percent of residents are projected to be under 15.
A new money transfer service was launched in April 1999 that allows members of California credit unions to remit unlimited funds to Mexico for $6.50. Wells Fargo offers a similar service that charges $10 to send up to $1,000.
Market leader Western Union and Mexican retailer Elektra dominate the US-to-Mexico remittance market despite higher fees, largely because Elektra has outlets even in remote Mexican villages where migrants are likely to have family. In 1995, Elektra sold its share of its money-transfer joint venture to Western Union for $142 million, but remained Western Union's agent in Mexico.
Mexico estimates that there are 1.6 million illegal or "cheuco" cars and trucks in the country--cars bought in the US to avoid Mexican taxes. Many migrants return to Mexico with such vehicles; they post a bond to receive a temporary permit that allows them to keep cars and trucks in Mexico for six months. The government has threatened to confiscate the illegal cars and trucks, and on April 12, 1999 there was a nationwide day of protest as migrants took to the streets to call for "legalization" of cheuco cars and trucks. About 640,000 new vehicles were sold in Mexico in 1998.
Central/South America. Costa Rica on February 1, 1999 announced a six-month legalization for unauthorized foreigners in the country on November 8, 1998; these illegal foreigners can receive a one-year residence permit, renewable on a year-to-year basis. Estimates of the number of illegal foreigners among the three million residents of Costa Rica range from 160,000 to 800,000.
Illegal foreigners must fill out an application form, provide a photo and show a document such as a passport, safe-conduct or identity card or sign a sworn declaration that they entered Costa Rica before November 9, 1998 and have no criminal record. The legalization fee is 3,355 colons or $12. Under this fourth Costa Rican amnesty since 1980, newly legalized foreigners will have to begin paying into the public health and social security systems and paying taxes on July 31, 1999.
Many Nicaraguans migrate seasonally to Costa Rica for the December-March coffee harvest. Some stay for the sugar cane harvest, which is followed by the melon harvest and the citrus harvest. The sugar cane harvesting piece rate wage is reportedly 150 colones ($0.54) per meter of cane cut, but has dropped in some places to 50 colones ($0.18) because of stepped up migration in the wake of Mitch. The Association of Domestic Workers reported that many illegal Nicaraguan maids are subject to exploitation in Costa Rica.
Mexico announced plans to legalize the employment of Guatemalans in the southern Mexican coffee harvest.
A meeting will be held in Stockholm to coordinate reconstruction plans in Central America. Central America's foreign debt is US$24 billion, according to the Inter-American Development Bank, the equivalent of 60 percent of the region's GDP.
Two senior immigration officials were relieved of their duties in Paraguay after an investigation found that there is a complete lack of control over immigration offices at the country's principal border crossings, including Puente de la Amistad and Guarani International Airport.
The Caribbean community is trying to increase tourism; about 20 percent of the Caribbean labor force is employed in the $18-billion-a year tourism industry.
