Ibn Bassal
Ibn Bassal was a writer, a scientist and an engineer who lived in Al-Andalus in the eleventh century CE. He worked in the court of Al-Ma’mun, who was the king of Toledo. His great passions were botany, which is the study of plants and agriculture. Although he was a great scholar, he was also a practical man and all of his writing came from his own "hands-on" experience of working the land.
1. What was Ibn Bassal famous for ? Writing - Science - engineering - botany
2. What is "botany" ? The study of plants and agriculture.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One of the many things which Ibn Bassal achieved was A Book of Agriculture. The book consisted of sixteen chapters which explain how best to grow trees, fruit and vegetables, as well as herbs and sweet smelling flowers; perhaps the most famous chapter of all was the one that described how to treat different types of soil. Ibn Bassal also worked out how to irrigate the land by finding underground water and digging wells. He designed water pumps and irrigation systems. All of these things were passed on through his writing.
1. Name two of Ibn Bassal Achievements ?
Writing a book of agriculture – designing water pumps – irrigation systems.
Finding underground water - digging wells
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________----------------------------------------------------------------------------____________________________________________________________
The influence of Ibn Bassal’s book was enormous. As farmers down the generations followed his instructions and advice, the land became wonderfully fertile and produced more than enough food for the fast-growing population. The irrigation systems that he and his followers put in place are still in evidence in Spain. Although his name is not widely known, Ibn Bassal’s legacy to the world has been great.
1. Why did the land become fertile and produced more than enough food for the fast-growing population. ?
As farmers down the generations followed his instructions and advice
2. Why do you think the area around Toledo had "a fast-growing population"?
Because the area was producing a lot of food as a result of Ibn Bassel's irrigation system.
3. Suggest three possible reasons that made the population there be a fast-growing population.
- fertile soil - good climate - good farmers - productivity of the land - water wells

2017صادرات وواردات بلدنا Our country’s imports and exports (SB, p.66)
In this report, we (researchers) will look at the countries that (countries) Jordan trades with and what goods it (Jordan) exports and imports.
First, let’s look at exports. Jordan is rich in potash and phosphate, and the extraction industry for these minerals is one of the largest in the world. Not surprisingly, two of Jordan’s largest exports are chemicals and fertilisers. Pharmaceuticals and other industries represent 30% of Jordan’s Gross Domestic Product(GDP), and 75% of Jordan’s pharmaceuticals are exported. However, the majority (65%) of the economy is dominated by services, mostly travel and tourism. Most of Jordan’s exports go to Iraq, the USA, India and Saudi Arabia.
Now let’s look at imports. Unlike some other countries in the Middle East, Jordan does not have large oil or gas reserves. For that reason, Jordan has to import oil and gas for its (Jordan's) energy needs. Its (Jordan's) other main imports are cars, medicines and wheat. In 2013 CE, 23.6 % of Jordan’s imports were from Saudi Arabia. This (23.6 …..) was followed by the EU, with 17.6 % of its imports. Other imports have come from China and the United States.
Jordan has more free trade agreements than any other Arab country, and it trades freely with many countries, including the USA, Canada and Malaysia. Which other areas are important for Jordan’s trade? Jordan first signed a trade agreement with the EU in 1997 CE. It (Jordan )signed a free trade agreement with Egypt, Morocco and Tunisian in 2004 CE. In 2011 CE, another trade agreement was made with the EU, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Trade with the EU and North Africa in particular is likely to grow.

The world of business - 7
This is an interview with a Jordanian businessman about his experiences in China.
Doing business in China
Today, we (interviwer) talk to Mr Ghanem, a businessman based in Amman who (Mr Ghanem) often visits China. We asked him (Mr Ghanem) when he first started doing business with China.
‘I’ve been doing business with China for many years. My first trip there was in 2004 CE, and it (first trip) was not very successful.’
Why was it not successful?
‘I worked for a small computer company in Amman. They( a small computer company) sent me to China when I was still quite young. If only ( If only = I wish ) the company had realised that the Chinese respect age and experience more than youth!’
Did you make any mistakes on that visit?
‘Yes! I wish I had researched Chinese culture before I visited the country. In order to be successful in China, you need to earn their (Chinese people) respect ( disrespect = opposite ). Chinese business people will always ask about a company’s successes in the past. However, because I worked for a new company, I could not talk about its ( a new company) track record. We (Mr Ghanem's company) did not do any business deals on that first trip.’
When did you learn how to be successful in China?
‘I joined a larger company and they (a large company) sent me on a cultural awareness course. On my next visit to China, it (the next visit to China) felt as if I hadn’t known anything on my first visit!’
What advice can you give to people wanting to do business in China?
‘Before I visit a company, I send recommendations from previous clients. I also send my business card with my job position and qualifications translated into Chinese.’
Can you tell us about your last meeting in China?
‘Of course! I arrived on time. You must not arrive late, as this shows disrespect. Then, when I met the company director, I shook hands with him gently. I began the meeting by making small talk about my interesting experiences in China. During the meeting, I made sure that my voice and body language were calm and controlled. I never told a joke, as this may not be translated correctly or could cause offence.’
Is it a successful meeting?
‘Yes, it was. I knew that the director had researched my business thoroughly before the meeting, so I was prepared for his (the director ) detailed questions. When I began negotiating, I started with the important issues. The Chinese believe in avoiding conflict. It is always important to be patient. I was prepared to compromise, so in the end, the meeting was successful.’ 18

After graduating, some (students) go on to further study, but most of them (students) take up employment. Many large companies offer graduate training schemes, which (graduate training scheme) are a kind of apprenticeship. We went to meet twenty-two-year-old Ricky Miles, who (Ricky Miles) is about to graduate in the subject.
How long have you (Ricky Miles) been studying Business Studies, Ricky?
It’s a four-year course, including two periods of work experience. Each one (period of work experience) lasted six months, but they (two periods of work experience) weren’t in the same year.
What exactly have you studied over those four years ?
Quite a lot! Maths, of course, Accounting ,Finance and Economics. Oh yes ,Marketing and Sales, too. I (Ricky Miles) also did a course in Management, which (a course of management ) is about recruiting and managing staff, and how to deal with conflict, and a course in Advertising. We (students) all had
to do IT, too, because computer skills are essential .
What did you most enjoy about the degree ?
The work experience, definitely. I learnt so much, both times, and of course it (work experience ) looks great on my curriculum vitae . One of the companies offered me paid work last summer, so I managed to get even more experience that way. Also, I wouldn't have had much money last year if I hadn't had that job!
What kind of company was that, and what did you do there (in a company )?
It was a company that (a company ) provides financial products – savings and pensions, mostly. At first I just ‘shadowed’ different people, watching what they (different people) were doing . Then I did quite a lot of checking for them (different people ) – you know, checking their (different people ) calculations. When I went back in the summer, I was in the sales department. My job was to follow up web enquiries, and send out further information to possible clients . I enjoyed it (Rickey's job) , and I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I hadn't done the work experience first.
What are you planning to do next ?
I’ve just applied for a job with a bank. I have the right qualifications, but I know there will be a lot of other applicants. I’ll just have to wait and see if I get an interview. If I do, I’ll have to prepare really carefully.

كیف تقوم بعرض المبیعات (خطاب بيع) How to make a sales pitch
قم بإجراء بحثك 1. Do your research
Don't come away from a sales pitch wishing you had been better prepared. It is essential to know everything about your product. Do you know when it (your product) was developed, and where
it (your product) is produced? You also need to know who the target market is – for example, the age group or income of the people who (people ) might buy it (your product). Not only that, you should know all about the competition – that is, similar products on the market. Why is your product superior to others (other products) and why does it (your product) have better value?
In addition, you should know exactly which people you are speaking to, and what their (people) needs are. For example, if they (people) represent a middle-class department store in a humble neighbourhood, be ready to explain why your particular product would suit customers who (customers) do not have lots of money. What makes your product perfect for them (customers)? Most of all, you need to believe in what you’re selling, and the best way to do that is to use it!
حضر نفسك وتدرّب 2. Prepare and practice
Plan your presentation carefully, not just what you will say, but how you will say it
(your presentation). Will you read it word by word, use notes or memorise it?Whatever you decide, it is always a good idea to have a list of your main points, in case something interrupts you, or you simply freeze with nerves (it happens!). Then practise it (your presentation), if possible in front of colleagues. Make changes and practise it again.
كن محترفا 3. Be professional
Keep your presentation short and simple. Start with some friendly comments. For example ,thank your hosts for allowing you to speak to them (hosts), and compliment their (hosts) company. Remember to speak slowly and clearly. It is important to appear confident (even if you’re nervous!). While you’re speaking, don’t keep your head down. Instead, look round the room and make eye contact with your audience .Smile! When you’ve finished speaking, invite questions. If you don’t know the answers, don’t pretend! Thank the questioner and promise to find out the answer (and do it (finding out the answers)!). Finally, have a summary of your presentation ready to hand out at the end of the session. I wish I had known all this (information of experience) when I started out in business! Good luck!.

Fatima Musa is talking about her career as an interpreter. Listen and read. Check your answers to exercise 1.
My job as an interpreter
My name is Fatima Musa and I (Fatima) have worked as an interpreter for five years. Many students have emailed me (Fatima) about my work because they (students) want to know what it would be like to do my (Fatima) job. So here is my reply.
I (Fatima) have always been fond of languages. My father worked in many different countries when I (Fatima) was young and we usually travelled with him(Fatima's father). When we visited a country, I always wanted to learn the language. At school I was very good at English. Therefore, I decided on a career as an interpreter.
My job now involves going to important conferences and seminars around the world. When a person speaks in English at a conference, I listen to what they say through headphones. I then translate into Arabic while the speaker is talking. I give the translation through headphones to other people at the meeting. This means that anyone in the room who speaks Arabic can understand what people are saying.
Is it an easy job? Not at all. English is not the same in all English-speaking countries. For example, the English words that are used in India are sometimes different to the words that people use in the UK, the USA or Australia. As well as knowing regional English, you also need to know a lot of specialist language. Some of the words that (the words) are used to talk about business, science or law, for example, make it almost a different language!
Unless you have a language degree, you will not be able to become an interpreter. Provided that you have a postgraduate qualification, you will probably get a job as an interpreter quite quickly. If you get an interview for a job, you will need to show that you have good listening skills and a clear speaking voice. You will also need to show that you can think quickly and that you are able to concentrate for long periods of time. If you are successful, it is a secure and rewarding job. You will probably need to travel a lot, but that is not a problem as long as you enjoy visiting other countries.
It is a very responsible job. I am aware that if I translate things badly, it could affect an important law or trade agreement between countries. However, you get a huge feeling of satisfaction when you know that people understand everything that you translate.

The Giralda tower, which is one of the most important buildings in Seville, Spain, stands at just over 104 metres tall. The person who is believed to be responsible for the design of the tower, which was originally a minaret, is the mathematician and astronomer Jabir ibn Aflah. The architect of the tower was Ahmad Ben Baso, who began work in 1184 CE. He died before the tower was completed in 1198 CE.

9. “Unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some greed and others to hunger." Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 CE – 1931 CE).
I agree with the quotation. I think that Gibran is talking about trade here. He is taking about mutual respect, and this could be applied to any exchange, as well as trade. He is perhaps commenting on the emergence of capitalism.

10. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. Maya Angelou (1928 CE–2014 CE)
Making a living refers to your job and the money you earn to live on . Making a life is creating a way of living that you want. You do the work in order to be able to have that, but it also depends on your friends and family, and how you decide to behave. So "making a life is not totally dependant on the money you earn"

Ibn Bassal
Ibn Bassal was a writer, a scientist and an engineer who lived in Al-Andalus in the eleventh century CE. He worked in the court of Al-Ma’mun, who was the king of Toledo. His great passions were botany, which is the study of plants and agriculture. Although he was a great scholar, he was also a practical man and all of his writing came from his own "hands-on" experience of working the land.
1. What was Ibn Bassal famous for ? Writing - Science - engineering - botany
2. What is "botany" ? The study of plants and agriculture.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One of the many things which Ibn Bassal achieved was A Book of Agriculture. The book consisted of sixteen chapters which explain how best to grow trees, fruit and vegetables, as well as herbs and sweet smelling flowers; perhaps the most famous chapter of all was the one that described how to treat different types of soil. Ibn Bassal also worked out how to irrigate the land by finding underground water and digging wells. He designed water pumps and irrigation systems. All of these things were passed on through his writing.
1. Name two of Ibn Bassal Achievements ?
Writing a book of agriculture – designing water pumps – irrigation systems.
Finding underground water - digging wells
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________----------------------------------------------------------------------------____________________________________________________________
The influence of Ibn Bassal’s book was enormous. As farmers down the generations followed his instructions and advice, the land became wonderfully fertile and produced more than enough food for the fast-growing population. The irrigation systems that he and his followers put in place are still in evidence in Spain. Although his name is not widely known, Ibn Bassal’s legacy to the world has been great.
1. Why did the land become fertile and produced more than enough food for the fast-growing population. ?
As farmers down the generations followed his instructions and advice
2. Why do you think the area around Toledo had "a fast-growing population"?
Because the area was producing a lot of food as a result of Ibn Bassel's irrigation system.
3. Suggest three possible reasons that made the population there be a fast-growing population.
- fertile soil - good climate - good farmers - productivity of the land - water wells

2017صادرات وواردات بلدنا Our country’s imports and exports (SB, p.66)
In this report, we (researchers) will look at the countries that (countries) Jordan trades with and what goods it (Jordan) exports and imports.
First, let’s look at exports. Jordan is rich in potash and phosphate, and the extraction industry for these minerals is one of the largest in the world. Not surprisingly, two of Jordan’s largest exports are chemicals and fertilisers. Pharmaceuticals and other industries represent 30% of Jordan’s Gross Domestic Product(GDP), and 75% of Jordan’s pharmaceuticals are exported. However, the majority (65%) of the economy is dominated by services, mostly travel and tourism. Most of Jordan’s exports go to Iraq, the USA, India and Saudi Arabia.
Now let’s look at imports. Unlike some other countries in the Middle East, Jordan does not have large oil or gas reserves. For that reason, Jordan has to import oil and gas for its (Jordan's) energy needs. Its (Jordan's) other main imports are cars, medicines and wheat. In 2013 CE, 23.6 % of Jordan’s imports were from Saudi Arabia. This (23.6 …..) was followed by the EU, with 17.6 % of its imports. Other imports have come from China and the United States.
Jordan has more free trade agreements than any other Arab country, and it trades freely with many countries, including the USA, Canada and Malaysia. Which other areas are important for Jordan’s trade? Jordan first signed a trade agreement with the EU in 1997 CE. It (Jordan )signed a free trade agreement with Egypt, Morocco and Tunisian in 2004 CE. In 2011 CE, another trade agreement was made with the EU, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Trade with the EU and North Africa in particular is likely to grow.

The world of business - 7
This is an interview with a Jordanian businessman about his experiences in China.
Doing business in China
Today, we (interviwer) talk to Mr Ghanem, a businessman based in Amman who (Mr Ghanem) often visits China. We asked him (Mr Ghanem) when he first started doing business with China.
‘I’ve been doing business with China for many years. My first trip there was in 2004 CE, and it (first trip) was not very successful.’
Why was it not successful?
‘I worked for a small computer company in Amman. They( a small computer company) sent me to China when I was still quite young. If only ( If only = I wish ) the company had realised that the Chinese respect age and experience more than youth!’
Did you make any mistakes on that visit?
‘Yes! I wish I had researched Chinese culture before I visited the country. In order to be successful in China, you need to earn their (Chinese people) respect ( disrespect = opposite ). Chinese business people will always ask about a company’s successes in the past. However, because I worked for a new company, I could not talk about its ( a new company) track record. We (Mr Ghanem's company) did not do any business deals on that first trip.’
When did you learn how to be successful in China?
‘I joined a larger company and they (a large company) sent me on a cultural awareness course. On my next visit to China, it (the next visit to China) felt as if I hadn’t known anything on my first visit!’
What advice can you give to people wanting to do business in China?
‘Before I visit a company, I send recommendations from previous clients. I also send my business card with my job position and qualifications translated into Chinese.’
Can you tell us about your last meeting in China?
‘Of course! I arrived on time. You must not arrive late, as this shows disrespect. Then, when I met the company director, I shook hands with him gently. I began the meeting by making small talk about my interesting experiences in China. During the meeting, I made sure that my voice and body language were calm and controlled. I never told a joke, as this may not be translated correctly or could cause offence.’
Is it a successful meeting?
‘Yes, it was. I knew that the director had researched my business thoroughly before the meeting, so I was prepared for his (the director ) detailed questions. When I began negotiating, I started with the important issues. The Chinese believe in avoiding conflict. It is always important to be patient. I was prepared to compromise, so in the end, the meeting was successful.’ 18

Business Studies is a popular choice for students who (students) are choosing a degree course in the UK. After graduating, some (students) go on to further study, but most of them (students) take up employment. Many large companies offer graduate training schemes, which (graduate training scheme) are a kind of apprenticeship. We went to meet twenty-two-year-old Ricky Miles, who (Ricky Miles) is about to graduate in the subject.
How long have you (Ricky Miles) been studying Business Studies, Ricky?
It’s a four-year course, including two periods of work experience. Each one (period of work experience) lasted six months, but they (two periods of work experience) weren’t in the same year.
What exactly have you studied over those four years ?
Quite a lot! Maths, of course, Accounting ,Finance and Economics. Oh yes ,Marketing and Sales, too. I (Ricky Miles) also did a course in Management, which (a course of management ) is about recruiting and managing staff, and how to deal with conflict, and a course in Advertising. We (students) all had
to do IT, too, because computer skills are essential .
What did you most enjoy about the degree ?
The work experience, definitely. I learnt so much, both times, and of course it (work experience ) looks great on my curriculum vitae . One of the companies offered me paid work last summer, so I managed to get even more experience that way. Also, I wouldn't have had much money last year if I hadn't had that job!
What kind of company was that, and what did you do there (in a company )?
It was a company that (a company ) provides financial products – savings and pensions, mostly. At first I just ‘shadowed’ different people, watching what they (different people) were doing . Then I did quite a lot of checking for them (different people ) – you know, checking their (different people ) calculations. When I went back in the summer, I was in the sales department. My job was to follow up web enquiries, and send out further information to possible clients . I enjoyed it (Rickey's job) , and I wouldn't have had that opportunity if I hadn't done the work experience first.
What are you planning to do next ?
I’ve just applied for a job with a bank. I have the right qualifications, but I know there will be a lot of other applicants. I’ll just have to wait and see if I get an interview. If I do, I’ll have to prepare really carefully.

Whether you’re selling a new type of toothpaste to a chain of pharmacies, the latest computer software to a school or a new kind of package holiday to a travel agency – you need to know …
كیف تقوم بعرض المبیعات (خطاب بيع) How to make a sales pitch
قم بإجراء بحثك 1. Do your research
Don't come away from a sales pitch wishing you had been better prepared. It is essential to know everything about your product. Do you know when it (your product) was developed, and where
it (your product) is produced? You also need to know who the target market is – for example, the age group or income of the people who (people ) might buy it (your product). Not only that, you should know all about the competition – that is, similar products on the market. Why is your product superior to others (other products) and why does it (your product) have better value?
In addition, you should know exactly which people you are speaking to, and what their (people) needs are. For example, if they (people) represent a middle-class department store in a humble neighbourhood, be ready to explain why your particular product would suit customers who (customers) do not have lots of money. What makes your product perfect for them (customers)? Most of all, you need to believe in what you’re selling, and the best way to do that is to use it!
حضر نفسك وتدرّب 2. Prepare and practice
Plan your presentation carefully, not just what you will say, but how you will say it
(your presentation). Will you read it word by word, use notes or memorise it?Whatever you decide, it is always a good idea to have a list of your main points, in case something interrupts you, or you simply freeze with nerves (it happens!). Then practise it (your presentation), if possible in front of colleagues. Make changes and practise it again.
كن محترفا 3. Be professional
Keep your presentation short and simple. Start with some friendly comments. For example ,thank your hosts for allowing you to speak to them (hosts), and compliment their (hosts) company. Remember to speak slowly and clearly. It is important to appear confident (even if you’re nervous!). While you’re speaking, don’t keep your head down. Instead, look round the room and make eye contact with your audience .Smile! When you’ve finished speaking, invite questions. If you don’t know the answers, don’t pretend! Thank the questioner and promise to find out the answer (and do it (finding out the answers)!). Finally, have a summary of your presentation ready to hand out at the end of the session. I wish I had known all this (information of experience) when I started out in business! Good luck!.

Fatima Musa is talking about her career as an interpreter. Listen and read. Check your answers to exercise 1.
My job as an interpreter
My name is Fatima Musa and I (Fatima) have worked as an interpreter for five years. Many students have emailed me (Fatima) about my work because they (students) want to know what it would be like to do my (Fatima) job. So here is my reply.
I (Fatima) have always been fond of languages. My father worked in many different countries when I (Fatima) was young and we usually travelled with him(Fatima's father). When we visited a country, I always wanted to learn the language. At school I was very good at English. Therefore, I decided on a career as an interpreter.
My job now involves going to important conferences and seminars around the world. When a person speaks in English at a conference, I listen to what they say through headphones. I then translate into Arabic while the speaker is talking. I give the translation through headphones to other people at the meeting. This means that anyone in the room who speaks Arabic can understand what people are saying.
Is it an easy job? Not at all. English is not the same in all English-speaking countries. For example, the English words that are used in India are sometimes different to the words that people use in the UK, the USA or Australia. As well as knowing regional English, you also need to know a lot of specialist language. Some of the words that (the words) are used to talk about business, science or law, for example, make it almost a different language!
Unless you have a language degree, you will not be able to become an interpreter. Provided that you have a postgraduate qualification, you will probably get a job as an interpreter quite quickly. If you get an interview for a job, you will need to show that you have good listening skills and a clear speaking voice. You will also need to show that you can think quickly and that you are able to concentrate for long periods of time. If you are successful, it is a secure and rewarding job. You will probably need to travel a lot, but that is not a problem as long as you enjoy visiting other countries.
It is a very responsible job. I am aware that if I translate things badly, it could affect an important law or trade agreement between countries. However, you get a huge feeling of satisfaction when you know that people understand everything that you translate.

The architect of the tower was Ahmad Ben Baso, who began work in 1184 CE. He died before the tower was completed in 1198 CE.

9. “Unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice, it will but lead some greed and others to hunger." Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 CE – 1931 CE).
I agree with the quotation. I think that Gibran is talking about trade here. He is taking about mutual respect, and this could be applied to any exchange, as well as trade. He is perhaps commenting on the emergence of capitalism.

10. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. Maya Angelou (1928 CE–2014 CE)
Making a living refers to your job and the money you earn to live on . Making a life is creating a way of living that you want. You do the work in order to be able to have that, but it also depends on your friends and family, and how you decide to behave. So "making a life is not totally dependant on the money you earn"
