Part two

In the decade of the 1970s the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem. We humans are destroying the world around us. We are using up all of our natural resources. We must learn how to conserve them so that our children will have something to live on.

There are several major parts to this problem.

Population: Most problems of the environment come from population growth in 1700. There were 625 million people in the world. In 1900 there were 1.6 billion, in 1950 25 billion, and in 4.4 billion. In the year 2000 there will be 6.3 billion. More people need more water, more food, more wood and more petroleum.

Petroleum: We are using up the world's petroleum. We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter. Farmers use petrochemicals to make the soil rich. They use them to kill insects that eat plants. These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there. Thousands of people also die form these chemicals every year. Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it. Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other continents.

We now have the information and ability to solve these huge problems. However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world, but for all humans.

Part oneMr. Edward Blake is the founder of Wipro, a very successful IT company. He has inspired his organization by his dedication, his humility, and his sheer simplicity. Although some of his

lower-level staff have become millionaires due to the stocks allocated to them, the entire organization follows his values of simplicity and humility and strives towards perfection.Part Two For years, Vietnam had a classical Marxist economic system characterised by central planning and control. Then, in 1986, the policy of opening up the country to market forces and foreign investment was introduced. Twenty years later, the effects can be seen everywhere. Take the city of Hanoi, for example. Ten years ago you could wander around on foot without worrying about traffic. The city itself was peaceful and elegant, with lovely tree-lined avenues and many buildings of great architectural interest. The scene today is very different. Traffic has become a serious problem: Vietnam has over one million cars and over nine million motorbikes, seven times the number there were in 1990. Hotels and office buildings are springing up all over the city, and commercial rents in Hanoi are now as high as in Paris and 70% higher than in Sydney.Part Three Nelson Ferreira:OK, so before I tell you about our exciting new model, let me first give you a few basic facts about our company.Did you know that we are one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world? And that we make commercial aircraft, as well as military planes, and of course corporate aircraft?We were set up in 1969 by the government of Brazil. And we were based then - as we are today - in Sao Joseù dos Campos, in Brazil. Here you can see a picture of our factories.The next milestone in our company history was in 1994. In that year we were privatised - which meant that our shares could be traded on the stock exchange. In fact, today we are listed on both the New York and Sao Paulo stock exchanges. This gave us the opportunity to raise finance for new ideas.Now let me show you some figures.Our revenues - as you can see - have increased steadily every year since 1996. Last year we reached a gross revenue of two point eight billion US dollars - which gave us net earnings of three hundred and fifty-three million dollars.And the number of employees has also increased from three thousand eight hundred, five years ago, to more than ten thousand today. So you can see that we have grown very rapidly since our privatisation, and we are still growing.OK. So that was a very short background to the company. Now I'll move on to the main point which is of interest to you: our new executive jet plane - which we call Ambassador. This is the latest in our range of corporate aircraft and it has already attracted a great deal of attention.
