Business should any thing they can to make a profit Use specific reasons and examples to support your position Some people think that businesses should anything they can to make a profit In my opinion, a business has other things to do, for example considering its workers, customers, the community A person who is servicing customers and community should always be honest This is the most important quality of a business in order to make a profit Earning money by playing tricks is a bad activity and business won’t be successful In business, everyone must consider the other workers, customers and the community in which they live Colleagues are very important, because business is a team – work Without the help of other workers, a business can’t get anything Therefore, if a business makes large profits, the workers have the rights to benefit some The profits that a business earns from the community should be returned to the community in many ways such as building a park, a nursery for the children of the workers or doing charity Other important point is to get customers’ trust If a company wants to develop, it should try to produce high quality products and give goods service to its customers Which would you choose: a high-paying with long hours that would give you little time with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and friend? All high-paying job with long hours give people too much relentless pressure, causing harm to their mind and body People who pursue high-paying jobs always care about what their jobs offer, such as salary, bonus, social status and sense of achievement For me, money can purchase a lot of things, and make my live more better; however, money can’t buy a good health and the love from family and friends After all, anything can bring me happiness without a good health A lower-paying job with shorter hours would give me more time to accompany my friends and family Although I a lower-paying job which provides me with less money, it still brings me the sense of achievement Moreover, a lower-paying job allows me to spend much of my time on communicating my thinking to my family and friends and sharing their sorrow and happiness In short, even though a lower-paying job can’t provide me with enough budget to satisfy my material needs, I think it can give me more time with my family and friends; what is better, it doesn’t sacrifice my health and prevent me from developing a close relationships with my family and friends Topic The most important aspect of a job is the money a person earns Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer Money is an important factor, and we cannot live without money, but in my opinion, it’s not the most important thing People work because of many other important aspects The first aspect is the working environment If one works in a company having good working environment, he will feel happy and contribute his best abilities to his job A good boss, wonderful colleagues make him happy The second thing is the opportunities to learn new things Having a lot of chances to approach new technologies, to make friends with other people, to update his knowledge will make his life enjoyable Thirdly, it is important that your job gives you a good salary However, it is more important to have a job that you like, and that allows you to enjoy your private life There is no doubt that money is useful, but you can sacrifice the quality of your life to it 6.We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a coworker(someone you work closely with)? Use reason and specific example why these characteristics are important We all work or will work in our job with many different kinds of people Each one has individual characteristics For me, a co-worker I would like to work with should have the following qualities The foremost characteristic I expect in a co-worker is that he/she should be a hard worker I like someone who works hard in order to get the work done by mutual contribution Secondly, he/she should be a friendly and joyful person It is very glad to work with a friendly and joyful worker Joyful and friendly people are mostly liked The third characteristic I would like to see in my coworker that she/he should not be a racist She/he should be kindhearted and positive-minded, because the environment in most big companies is multi-cultural Besides, he/she must be consistent It means that she knows what she is doing and what can be a possible consequence She also knows the solutions of problems appearing at work In short, it is difficult to find one who has all of the above qualities It would be great for us to work with a coworker who has two or three qualities listed above Some people prefer to work for a large company Others prefer to work for a small company Which would you prefer?
