In fact,he is not really aware of potential differences with GWA.Ed and Jack do not suspend judgement of the otherculture. They are quick to judge the other’s culture.For example, Ed says: ‘Not a very happy little organization,then, are we?’ Jack says: ‘You’re worried that we take ourwork more seriously than you do, is that it?’Both Ed and Jack do a similar job. It is likely that theyshare a strong desire to help people. However, they do notidentify common goals and attitudes.Ed cannot resist the temptation to make converts.He suggests that GWA have to adapt to Blue Rock, not BlueRock to GWA: ‘I’ll tell you this, if everybody at GWA is likeyou and your boss, you’re going find it hard to fit in here!’At the end of the scene, Ed and Jack’s language becomesinsensitive; they use ‘I’ and ‘you’, rather than trying tobe inclusive by using ‘we’. They both give up trying tobe objective and positive. For example, Jack says: ‘Whatmakes you think you have the right to judge us?’; Ed says:‘if that’s how you want to play it, don’t say I didn’t try.’Neither Ed nor Jack were objective or positive.7Suggested answera They are more conscious of their differences andboth more prepared to make concessions and findsatisfactory compromises.b They decide to suggest drawing up some culturalguidelines.81 foot e2 away a3 locals d4 book f5 helped b6 together c9 Students’ own answersIn Company 3.0 Upper Intermediate Macmillan Publishers Limited 2014Answer Key4
