First, I'd like to welcome you all to Electrolux, and give you a brief introduction to the company before we begin our tour.
As you know, Electrolux is a Swedish company with its head office here in Stockholm. Now I expect when you hear the name
'Electrolux' you probably think of a refrigerator - or a fridge as we usually call it - or maybe a vacuum cleaner, and in fact these were
the company's first two products.
Electrolux was founded in 1919 and started as a company in 1921 when it produced the world's first vacuum cleaner. Four years
later, in 1925, it produced its first refrigerator, and these are still two of its best-known products. But today the company is very
different from what it was in 1921. What you perhaps don't know is that it now owns many well-known consumer brands, including
AEG, Zanussi, Frigidaire, Flymo, and Husqvarna and Partner, and this makes it the world's largest producer of powered appliances
for kitchen, cleaning, and outdoor use.
Today it employs 55,692 people and sells its products in more than 150 countries. Its worldwide turnover in 2017 was 14,650 million
US dollars.
It has two global divisions, called Consumer Durables and Professional Products. Seventy-five per cent of the company's sales
comes from the Consumer Durables Division. This division includes the appliances we have in our homes, for example cookers,
vacuum cleaners, and washing machines.
Professional Products includes much larger appliances, for example food service equipment for hotels and restaurants, and outdoor
products for the garden.
Right, that's all I'll say about the company for the moment. I hope that gives you a general idea to start with. I'll be happy to answer
any questions, then we'll begin our tour ...

UNIT 5
Countable and uncountable nouns:
5.1 Identify the uncountable nouns in this article.
The world's no. 1 industry

Tourism is the largest industry in the world. It gives employment to millions of people and is important for a country's economy. It
employs 200 million people: 8% of jobs around the world. It makes $3.6 trillion every year and is the number one export in 60
countries.
Tourism grew because of better transportation – rail travel in the 1840s, sea travel in the 1900s, and air travel in the 1950s. The
introduction of package holidays in the 1960s offered people an easy, inexpensive way to travel abroad. Another reason was the
development of the media. From the 1900s travel companies used newspapers to advertise their products. In the 1960s television
showed holiday programmes and gave people travel advice. Tourists can now get travel information and book their flights and
accommodation on the Internet.
