Dear Sirs,
Re: Men's Sweaters
Thank you for your letter of May 18 and samples.
We appreciate the good quality of men's sweaters, but we find your prices appear to be on the high side and out of line with the current price in the market.It would leave us only a small profit on our sales if we accept the prices you quoted.
We appreciate the quality of your goods and would like to have the opportunity to do business with you, but we have also to point out that the men's sweaters are available in our market from several European manufactures.All the prices quoted by them are lower about 10% than yours for the same quality.Therefore we suggest you should make a reduction by 10%.
It is in view of our long-standing business relations that we make you such a counter-offer.We hope you will take our counter-offer into consideration favorably and fax us your acceptance immediately.
We are looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
(Signature)

[Quotas , tariffs and subsidies</div>]
Like most wars,a trade war may bring about desired economic or political changes, but in the long run almost everyone suffers ,including those whom the trade war was meant to help.
An efficient carmaker, for example, may ask for limits of foreign imports, hoping to keep its price high without improving the quality of its products. In the end , however , other countries may retaliate with trade restrictions of their own. Consumers and businesses in both countries are then forced to buy poorly made and expensive domestic products. Trade restrictions might protect a few jobs in inefficient industries,but the whole economy often suffers by becoming less competitive in the international markets.
The most common tools for limiting imports of foreign goods and services are quotas, tariffs,and subsidies. When a country imposes a quota, it limits the quantity of certain foreign products that can be imported. A tariff is a tax placed on goods entering a country , raising the price of imported goods. A government can also use the taxpayers' money to provide a subsidy to local producers , making the price of local goods artificially lower than imported goods.
Trade barriers, like walls between feuding neighbors, are usually imposed unilaterally by one country acting on its own to limit the amount of foreign products available to local producer from foreign competition and allow them time to improve their products or lower their prices as long as they are protected from foreign competition by trade barriers.
Although trade restrictions are of dubious economic value, they have been shown to be effective in bringing about political or social change. The refusal of countries to trade and do business with South Africa, for example, was widely seen to be responsible for the decision to dismantle the system of apartheid. Trade blockades can be useful in forcing countries to change policies that violate human rights or international treaties, but as long as a sufficient number of countries join in the blockade to make it effective.

A British schoolboy has been excluded from lessons after he organised a mass protest over a lack of homework.
Aaron Parfitt, 14, led 100 of his fellow pupils on a walkout at Bispham High School in Blackpool on 12 March over concerns about teaching standards.
Despite his eagerness to learn, Aaron was told he wasbanned from lessons for the next two days, and now claims to have been excluded again ahead of a meeting between teachers and his mother on 17 March.
Aaron originally contacted Blackpool Council and Ofsted to raise concerns over the quality of teaching before losing patience and organising the 100-strong walkout last Wednesday.
Teachers took a dim view of his actions and excluded him for two days on Thursday and Friday last week - much to the anger of his mother Janet, 52.
'I'm absolutely fuming they've excluded him because he's doing the best he can to get a good education,' she said
'He was only trying to stick up for himself and his mates and then he gets told to stay away from the school for two days,' she added.
Aaron said: 'We've had loads of different teachers and we weren't getting enough homework.I failed my maths exam in school and I was really worried because I just wanted to make sure I was able to do the work properly.'
55.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Aaron could not get enough homework
B.Aaron's teachers were not adequate to their jobs at all
C.Teachers were accused of assigning little homework
D.All students did not agree with Aaron's proposal
