A business plan of Desert coffee


when somebody asked you:why you strange?how would you answer?

Of cause,you have to say :I'm not! I'm normal ! So we have to say that we are normal.

Maybe it;s too difficult to find something news,but in our company ,there have a surprise for you .It's Desert coffee ,have you ever heard it from anybody ? Let us let know!


 

Firstly ,there are many kinds of coffee in the world, we already know the taste from it. But ,our coffee is different than others,why ?because, our coffee comes from natural producer and it's made in desert !Everyone knows about it that the food or drink which you made it,it's more delicious that others ,so in our coffee bar ,we have lots of service about it. you can have a cup of coffee and some order some sugar and milk ,then you can help yourself to make what you want, also you can order same snakes for free.

Maybe you might to ask that who can have our service. It's about the people who below 45 years old and above 5 years old ,why? Because we thought about that people who above 45 years old, they aren't good to have too much coffee, also we can service to the yang people,cause they are yang, so why not?

Our coffee bar is more different than others, have you ever thought about the coffee without caffeine? Maybe not, it's very healthy and no harmful. Also ,we believe, we don't need to beat any competition, cause in our company, we said:'there is no best, only better!'

Changing of gender roles in Korea


A long time ago, Korea was very poor and the majority of Koreans worked in the agriculture industry. Korea was an agricultural society. Due to the poverty there was high child mortality. Agriculture needed many workers, so traditionally the Korean family was big, with normally 10 people over 70 years ago. Their work was separated by gender. For example, sons worked in the fields with their fathers and daughters helped their mothers or took care of young siblings at home. I think that the preference for boys started from this period.

Family sizes changed after the Korean war(1950-1953), decreasing to 5 or 6 people. The number of workers decreased in the agriculture business and Korea was modernized after the war, but the gender roles continued. At that time almost all women did not go to school, they only graduated from elementary school. Continuing the development, most Koreans worked in industrial businesses and made lots of money, and Korea became a rich country.

While Korea was developing, many people could be educated to a higher level than before, and many parents gave the same chance for education to their daughters as their sons. From the late 70s, many women studied at university. However, almost all women became house-wives after marriage. Furthermore, many people could study in foreign countries. Many people needed higher-level education after Korea became a wealthy country.

Almost all parents wanted their children to be smart and rich, so they spent lots of money on education for their children. As a result, many women have a job after finishing their study and do not resign from their jobs after marriage. After that nowadays young women do not want to have babies, so nowadays the Korean family consists of 3 or 4 people. They have spent more money than their parents, because, they can not look after their kids. Unfortunately, many Korean children spend lots of time in private academies after school instead of in playgrounds with friends.

In conclusion, traditional gender roles were broken in Korea. Many women were well-educated and worked well in the company. Nowadays the number of families where the woman earns money and man works in the home is slightly increasing. However, my personal opinion is that this is not a positive development. Women can work well, but women can care for their family much better than men and men can work better in bad conditions than women.

Formal Letter of Application


Desmond Reyes
Director, Elephant Orphanage
12 Elephant Road
Sri Lanka
21 June 2012
Dear Mr Reyes,

I am writing in reply to your advertisement for volunteers to help the orphan elephants. I am interested in working with them and I would like to know a little more about the duration of the work and the qualifications necessary.

I am from France and I have already worked in a zoo for three years with many animals but never with elephants. I believe I have the right qualities for the job because I love animals and I am sure the orphan elephants will love me. I also work in a bank office so I am well-qualified for all the administrative work in the office. I play football in a club so I have a great physical condition for cleaning or looking after the elephants all day. I speak fluent French, good English and intermediate Spanish. It is a good opportunity to learn about the culture of Sri Lanka and to gain more experience with animals and particularly the elephants.

I have some questions about the work. Please send me information about the duration of the work, how many elephants you have and what languages you speak. Also, how many employees have you got in your office? In addition, could you tell me more about visa requirements and travel arrangements?

I am willing to attend an interview at any time.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Yours sincerely,

Pierre-Louis Artus

Ebrahim's post on the Arabic "Friends Reunited"


Hello everyone,

I've wanted to write something for the students' blog for ages, but I haven't managed to find time to do it. Life is hectic! Anyway, here is my news, at last.

As some of you know, after leaving school, I went to the Institute of Applied Technology to study Electrical engineering. It was a good experience to have the main idea about electrical things; and also to know how, where, and when we use it. After that I found a job easily, because this Institute has strong connections to the military. It is a good job and I was happy, but I told them I wanted to take a scholarship and the captain told me I can't give it to you. However, I spoke to another captain and he told me: 'I will see what can I do for you'. Fortunately, I got the scholarship, because I had a strong certificate; And I choose England, because it has beautiful countryside which helps me to study and relax at the same time.

When I came to Bristol, I found it very difficult to adapt in this city, because it doesn't have many Arabic people, and also they have different habits. For example: I used to eat Arabic food, but now I'm getting used to eating English food. Also, I didn't used to wear jeans, but now I'm getting used to it. However, I have to study English, as you know it's an international language, and it will help me in my job.

And now for my main news: when I return back to my country I will be a captain and I will get married, I know I'm not the first captain in my family, but I'm the first one who is getting married at this age in my family.

That's all for now. Best wishes to everyone,

Ebrahim

Bejad's post on the Arabic "Friends Reunited"


Hello everyone,

I miss you so much, I last saw you in high school, and after school I went to Tech College to study mechanical engineering. As you know, my college wasn't so easy, nevertheless I managed to get a scholarship from it. I studied some lovely subjects such as maths and physics; they were so hard but I liked them because I had good teachers. Then I decided to go the UK, but my brother told me the USA was better than the UK.

After that, I visited my brother in the USA to learn English for 3 months, because he was studying civil engineering there. I was lucky because I got a lot of experience of different cultures: before I studied, I had a problem with English, but after that course I could speak English. However, I did not like that country, I didn't know why, but it was wonderful, also most people like it and go to work there.

Then, I decided to study in the UK. But I worried about it - I thought it would be like the USA. Afterwards, I studied English again for 8 months. Then I chose Bristol University because it is famous, when I was studying I met some people from all over the world, learned some words from some other languages as well. I think the English is easier than other languages but of course Arabic is the easiest language for me.

Finally, I graduated from Bristol and had big party around Bristol with my friends. Really it was an amazing time, and I came back home to work here. I preferred to work for a private company but my friend advised me to take a government job because more it's more secure and the pay is better. Nevertheless, as you can see, I am a manager for the biggest international company in Kuwait.


See you soon ...
