costs/huge eg: potential customers: housewives, children,.
expenses/costly/expe - For example, if your business’s targeted audience is housewives, you
nsive/high-priced can pay to advertise your product from 8 AM to 16 PM. Because

advertisements II. Disadvantages
1. High cost = huge expenses/…
- hiring an ad agency, professional production crew
- Paying for equipment, shooting locations, a scriptwriter, and actors,
editors
- Buying air time is highly expensive, especially during prime time and at
national levels
- For example, a 30-second video/a video which is 30 seconds long on
TV costs $1,000, so the total costs of the whole campaign is a huge
budget
- Broadcasting companies charge up to $1,000 for a 30-second video
2. It is difficult to make changes

- To make changes to one or several

Advantages and disadvantages of working from home

- creative Working at home can give workers a flexible schedule and save a lot of money
workspace and time. But working from home also has drawbacks, the employees may be
- save money and distracted from other activities in their house, and working at home for a long
time time can lead to a lack of interaction among employees
- flexible
● Disadvantages
- Distract from other
activities
- lack of interaction
among employees
● Work for themselves I agree with the statement that most people would prefer to work for
-independent themselves rather than for someone else because they can become
-more flexibility independent, have flexible schedules, and get rewards.
-get the bigger reward First of all, a lot of people want to work for themselves because of the
independence they could gain. Employees who work for a company must
follow the boss's structure even if they do not agree. However, people who run
a business can make their own decision
Secondly, working for themselves will give you a flexible schedule. Employees
must work when the boss tells them to. You must spend 8 hours a day at work
and can not organize simple things like bill payments or pick up children.
Sometimes, when your company has too many tasks, you have to work
overtime unexpectedly. Therefore, by running your own business, you can fit
everything in your schedule.
Finally, people would prefer to work for themselves in order to get the reward
they deserve
● Work for someone Between working for themselves and working for a company, I think, people
else tend to choose the second choice. If you work for someone else, you will have
- job security a job security, avoid stressful and enjoy more convenience of being off duty a
- stressful lot of time.
- convenient Most people want to get job security. As an employee, you can lose your job or
get fired, but I think working for a company is more stable than running a
business. When you own a company, you often take a big risk with your
finances. If

Which do you prefer: e-books or books?
In our technological era, ebooks have become more and more popular,
especially among young people. However, there are many people who favor
traditional book. Personally, I prefer using e-books and there are many
reasons to support my opinion.
First, it is more convenient. I don’t have to go to library or book store to buy e-
books. They are available to download 24 hours of the day, any day of the
year, from the comfort of my home. I live in an area where there are not
many libraries and bookstore. In the past, it usually took me 2 hours to go buy
or borrow book. Since I switched to e-books, I have been able to spend those
2 hours on many other important things.
Second, e-books are usually cheaper than paper books, This is because there
are no costs related to shopping and packaging. In fact, e-book often 30-50%
cheaper than their physical counterparts. For people who live on a tight
budget, this is a huge benefit.
Last but not least, the experience of using e-book are more
pleasure/enjoyable. When I read e-book, I can adjust the text size, color or font
style as I like. I feel like my eyes have become less tired after using e-books
However, I can not do those things with traditional books. Moreover, e-books
can contain multimedia elements which can not available with paper books.
These elements, such as audio or video, can make reading a fun and
engaging experience
to sum up, I prefer e-books to paper book. I think people should choose the
book format which suits their news and preference
