Part Two
Report on Buying a New Premise
I visited the two premises as told: one is the Central Business Park, and the other Touchstone Industrial Park. The findings are as follows: The premise in Central Business Park contains many empty units, and its office building is old and in bad maintenance; while the one in Touchstone Industrial Park has many other famous companies in the area and can supply with modern and fully air-conditioned office buildings. The car parking space in Central Business Park for 100 cars is probably not enough and it is 3kms outside the city, while the other can provide us with sufficient parking space as well as good transportation. Although the price for the property in Touchstone Industrial Park is a little bit higher, it is reasonable and really worth it.
SPEAKING
Part Two A
Being aware of your own culture and how it differs from others is an important first step in preventing intercultural misunderstanding. Avoiding ethnocentrism and stereotyping while tolerance further helps business communicators overcome cultural barriers.Ethnocentrism causes us to judge others by our own values. Misunderstandings naturally result. Work-ing among people from different cultures demands tolerance and acceptance of delivery. To improve tolerance, practice empathy. Being tolerance also takes patience. Our impressions of other cultures sometimes cause us to form stereotypes about groups of people. When you meet and work with people from other cultures, remember that they, too, resent being stereotyped. Look beneath surface stereotypes and labels to discover individual personal qualities.
