1.- First of all, We have worked on the differences between the low context style and the high context style. We have learned to prepare our CV. I think it could be the most interesting thing of this week. I have prepared my own CV and Sue has corrected it. In my opinion, It is really important to know how to do the CV.In addition to this, we have worked on the applications forms.We have watched {1} the news on the TV. Besides, our teachers have explained us about many business words appeared in the news. On the other hand {2}, we have spoken about the differences between the direct style and the indirect style. Out of {3} my class, we have been collecting information about {4} our project work. We have been in Barclays taking {5} brochures and so on. We went to visit the office of Graduate Career Services on Wednesday. In my opinion, this week has been quite interesting. However, I would like to change some things, eg. The visit was not really productive because of we are {6} too many people and sometimes it was impossible to hear him and the office was very small.
2.- I would like to improve my business language and I also {7} would like to spend more time preparing our project work. We have not enough time to prepare it. As you know, we have a lot of information to read. I prefer not to spend time preparing mini-survey {8}.
