EXERCISES FOR LESSON 2 : TRADE OR COMMERCE ?

Dick: Do you know, Neil, that there's a difference between “commerce’' and “trade”?
Neil: Honestly, no. Bui I suppose they mean roughly the same thing.
Dick: Not exactly. You see, trade is only the buying and selling whereas commerce is much
more complicated.
Neil: I guess what you mean. After you’ve bought products, you must think of how to
transport them.
Dick: That’s not the only problem. There are others, such as advertising, insurance,
warehousing, and banking.
Neil: I can understand what advertising and insurance are. But what do “banking” and
"warehousing” mean?
Dick: Just imagine you’re a wholesaler, that is, you buy and sell commodities in bulk, or in
large quantities if you like. You will not be bringing large sums of money in your pockets,
will you? You must use the services of a bank to keep your money safe. You must also
think of how to keep the goods in good condition, in a warehouse where they will be stored
and prepared for sale.
Neil: You're right. Commerce is complicated; and what about commerce with other countries
Dick: he technical term is foreign trade or overseas trade, as opposed to home trade which
takes place inside the country concerned. In fact, foreign trade depends on the political
relation between the countries involved.
Neii: You mentioned the word “wholesaler'; now, what do you call people who buy and
sell things in smaller quantities?
Dick: Retailers. Like the shop-keepers in the streets or at the market.

I. Find in the text words meaning:
