book is, as mentioned, meant to be used, firstly by commerce students at the Hanoi Foreign Trade University and otber business persons The focus of the book is on both the language and other legal aspects of contracts Anyone who wishes to use the book effeciently should, first of all, attain a fairly advanced level of English and then have a good understanding of such key subjects as: - Laws applied to international business operations - Foreign Trade Organizations and Techniques - International Payment - Shipping, Transport and Insurance In order to understand, at the beginning, and be able to apply the contract terms and conditions, the students, readers and users are required to work through the book starting from Part I The working phases are recommended as follows: Phase 1: - Understanding technical terms - Being able to analyze clause structure - Understanding every single grammatical unit Phase 2: - Understanding legal and technical aspects as explained in each part - Reading sample provisions - Reading and understanding short contracts, and then long ones Phase 3: - Translating some simple short contracts into Vietnamese, and comparing them with the ones provided in the book - Drafting short provisions, and then long ones - Drafting a contract - Discussing it with someone who is an authority on the subject matter In the course of using this book, it should be kept in mind that laws are constantly changing and it is the drafter, not the author of this book, who is responsible for the effectiveness of the drafted contract clauses or the contract itself It is, therefore, essential and vital that the students, users and readers should have a good command of English and a comprehensive knowledege and experience in international business Prof Dr NGUYEN
