Listen to the first part of the text and find the mistakes. If there is an error in a line, correct it in the space provided, otherwise put in a tick ().


Do you like peanut butter? Or super-food cranberries? Are you planning to buy an

American motorbike, or a new jeans? If so, you will soon probably have to

pay a bit more than you would have paid at the beginning of the year. The

reason? The European Union has put tariffs – taxes on products made abroad –

on these and many other products from the US. It’s a reaction for tariffs on some

EU goods that have been introduced by US President Trump. During his 2016

election campaign, the president promised to bring jobs back to America. He says

that the US imports too many products, especially from China, but also from

Mexico, Germany, Austria and others. There is a trade deficit with these countries

– the US imports more goods from them than it exports to them. The deficit with

China was $357 billion last year, while the deficit with Germany was just under

$64 billion. If imports are made more expensive by putting tariffs on them, people

and businesses will pay cheaper home-produced goods. That reduces the deficit

and means more jobs for American workers, the president argues. It sounds like a

simple solution, and it appears to a lot of Americans working in industries that

have been hit by globalisation, such as steel and automobiles. However, other

countries can react by putting tariffs on American gods, too, which hurts US

exports. This is what is happening now. President Trump began by introducing a

25% tariff on Chinese imports worth $50 million. China reacted with its own tariffs

on American products including soybeans, pork, aeroplanes and cars. The

president also slapped tariffs on steel and aluminium from the EU, Canada and

other countries. The EU then introduced its own tariffs on US steel, tobacco,

peanut jam, jeans, motorbikes and a number of other goods. It didn’t stop there

President Trump has threatened tariffs on more goods from China. He has also

said that if the EU does not remove tariffs and trade barriers to US goods, he

could introduce a 20% tariff on European-made cards. Economists fear that this is

the start of a trade war. That doesn’t worry President Trump however. He

tweeted: [ … ]
