　　Dialogue

　　Li：This factory produces China's traditional handcraft：cloisonne，or Beijing enamel，as it is called.

　　Nina：Miss LI，how is cloisonne made？The technique must be very complicated.

　　Li：I know a little bit. First they have to make a pattern de-sign，then body making，wiring，enamel－filling and firing，and polishing and gilding. Shall we go and have a look inthe workshop？

　　Nina：No，I just wondered and asked.

　　Nora：I've heard that those who have been in China buy some pieces as mementos.

　　Nina：Let's also buy some. Miss Li，take us to have a look.

　　Li：Mr. Wang，the manager is coming. Let's follow him.

　　Wang：Welcome. Come with me to the display room，where thousands of varieties are on show. Here are watches and clocks，and writing materials. There's jewelry there，and over there are various vases，utensils，and an assortment of other things. All these articles are of the latest design and samples，besides which there are captions in English with marked price. Except for some reserved articles，all may be sold on hand.
