While much of the profit comes from lending to corporates, the bank has also benefited from the rise in the rate of consumer borrowing around the world, prompting criticism of what some claim are exorbitant interest rates on loans. Those critical of what they see as excessive profits have attacked the size of the bonuses. “While the fat cats continue to get richer, who pays? The consumer!” argued one bitter customer, complaining about what he sees as poor service. ‘One Financial Times reporter responded to this by pointing out that Britain has been a capitalist economy for more than 200 years — so why criticise profit? Supporters of the bank say that HSBC has benefited from good management, and that the remuneration to its directors is justified. Given the vaste range of financial products currently available, they say, consumers should simply make sure they shop around before taking out a bank loan. Gannw.businessenglishonlinenet) 3.1.

Afterwards try to make a short presentation of the article, mentioning also how you think that the company can improve the situation. Remember! y Expressing probability with modal verbs MAY, MIGHT, COULD * You use MAY, MIGHT, COULD to say that there is a probability of something happening or being the case. “May” is slightly more formal than “could” or “might”; otherwise there is very little difference in meaning between these modals. e.g, Don't eat it. It could be a toadstool. His route from the bus stop might be the same as yours, In rare cases the jaw may be broken during extraction. * If you put “well? after MAY, MIGHT, COULD, you are indicating that it is fairly likely that something is the case. ©.g. I think that it may well have been his intention You might well be right. It could well be there the place he likes to live in the following years. © You use MAY, MIGHT, COULD with “have” to say that it is possible that something was the case, but you do not know whether it was the case or not. e.g, Sally could have got there by the time you finished your homework. Tom might have secretly married his girlfriend from childhood. I may have seemed to be overreacting. 92 £6 nes: Poco ieee apooysuy anvouy 4p OF BOT MOgE MOH“ anoo"* a amnoxs""""* “pousosop aq |11a4 yowag stip y9adxo | “3 are Drriddceeet mie a “Wo 11 []e0 9m Jf douDIOYy EP OU SomLUL I] Tua" roy $.yeyp ous WT “Y “ous ou shes Suruwour 24s wy os pUE ‘syedeo UI pUoM Oy SUIMLUOD JF IBY OS DOUDTUDS YoeO a}LIMIY S°s ‘op oy 77" (Sp) 1 FeYM Apoexa mou, “"-""""(H1) asyo_auokiana yyy aBuens uloes Soop 21 ing “HOU uxked dn popu ancy (je (ET) | pur ‘qof aip jo ssou e apeut aavy Ayqeqosd (21) a4 ‘Ayjemoy jalep | MOY OULSeUL (TP) NO, *,AOUOU Yon Os paysem BALY JOU (ov NOK Woy, NOK 105 31 Party Avy AyseD ****"°°"-(6) J, “Kec OF * (g) | yanut mou, uy Surjfor seas | Uoyas puouy v pres “,owl pjoy aaey “"77"°"""(L) MOA, “ApyoINb 40A0 Hf (9) 1121p poproap 1 1nq ‘qof aassuadxo ue seas 4] “Bupyom 3,uaI9M SqyBY] ayy 9sn¥o9q DBeIeS oy} 0} 120 Ku oy) 0} (&) 1 \durexa Jo} Sjoom ye] “sorjowsd YoRUI os pey aAvy | asMeD0q 2q “~* (p) 4 yo au way yods **""""""" (g) | mou Aq “ane] 00} otto99q sey 31 UOYyM dup DAey ] NOK wy Mou SKosspe MoyaUtos UM ‘odKy Up ssoIDe oULIOD 2ALy * w “yuene ai Joye Alo Iq ‘nok oAls OF ao1Ape Pood aavy seme ojdood awog :o0vds yoro Ut q204 [epow 1qeIINS OuO Ind FS 108 pu ‘Aud yom se * mou Aq yfoq BRETT OF HISD ays, “mou dq poap.iin BAOY PYAOTS apy 39 “Apeauye pauraddey aney on unpoutos ada NOK erp AUS 0} ALY WM OL LHDNO 100 TAOHS 90 10K OL.LHON0 ‘GTNOHS “waists ay ag TSM us awi09 1snf soy Oya uosiad 24] “upwoss 0 9 wore u20g aaDy FS opoIAD S147 “39 -seoumysuunono 10 sqoey semnored Jo asneoaq asvo ou} st Suryauios arataq nok yey aeo1pul o1LSAWY en NOA © Isa ‘sayagtinoa wood Buysisso uy panjonur aq ppnoys sainyg panup) ays 14s aeu8o PAOM nox “;sunyd yrau8 ayy fo panay aavy TAR s1auayst Iso “snp mouy TPR au ayy yren sozrruinf aap oye nod fo aso, 8'2 -ayyjod arcu aq 0 UBM NOK JLATIOAA 980 UO NOK ,{T1M,, JO PROISU “If IQNOp 0} Uosear Aue st os0y Syunyp OU Op NOK pur ‘oseo axp st FUatos yey) Bujwunsse ou NOK LOY -TTTAL © @INOAS “THI Baquog Mind your steps to success F.
