(25/07/2015) As well as making money, businesses also have social
responsibilities. Do you agree or disagree?

enterprises also need to have public

2. (16/06/2016) Most large companies nowadays operate multi-nationally.
To what extent do multinational companies have responsibility toward
local communities in which they operate?
ANSWER
It is true that, in this era of globalisation,
most large companies operate outside
the confines of national borders. While

it is necessary that companies maximise maximise: increase something as much
as possible.
their profits, this must not be at the
expense of the welfare of the people in
areas where these companies are based.

From a social perspective, multinational
enterprises should provide jobs for local

3. (21/10/2017) Many people think that increasing business and cultural
contacts between countries is a positive development. However, others
believe that these are leading to the loss of national identities. Discuss
both views and give your own opinion.

process of globalisation. While some
people mourn the loss of national
identity which they believe occurs as a
result of this process, I disagree with that
view on the basis that it is important to
embrace change and accept new
realities.
to embrace change: to accept change

culture does not always mean that
national or local customs have to be
abandoned. On the contrary, enforced
isolation from trade and cultural
contacts with other countries will have
the inevitable consequence
of
withdrawal from all the changes taking
place globally.

to accept new customs: to agree to

and beliefs that distinguish people from
others

In conclusion, I would argue that the
growth of contacts in commerce and
culture is a positive development which
will not destroy national identities.

4. (10/02/2019) In most successful organisations, some people believe that
communication between managers and workers is important, while other
people said that other factors are more significant. What is your opinion?
Essay:
It is true that many people argue that,
in any efficient organisation, it is vital
that there is good communication

between managers and workers. In
my opinion, while this is one aspect to
consider, I consider that other factors
are more important.
On the one hand, in order to conduct
a business or organisation effectively,
communication among all the
workforce is necessary. A breakdown
in communications may be one reason
why a production process in a factory
comes to a stop. The management may
not be aware, for example, of
problems with a machine or the raw
material, if they do not regularly
consult the workers. In a store, the
manager must train the staff to offer
good customer service, so that the
employees understand how to provide
this. In an organisation such as a
hospital, the managers have to see the
big picture, and talk constantly to
doctors, nurses and support staff to
ensure that everyone knows their tasks
and has everything they need to carry
them out.

to conduct a business: to operate a
business in a particular way

a breakdown in communications: a

misunderstanding which results from

used to make a product

On the other hand, I would argue that

factor in creating a successful working
environment. No organisation can
prosper if the workers are dissatisfied.
An authoritarian style of management
which dictates to the workforce is no
basis for reaching a consensus. When
workers enjoy a decent salary, with
sick leave, holiday entitlement and a
retirement
package,
then
the
organisation will benefit enormously
from the loyalty of their staff.
Supportive work colleagues cooperate

to ensure that things run smoothly, and
therefore I believe that worker
cooperatives without management are
the future.
In conclusion, in a traditional
management
structure,
communication with the workers is
important. However, when the
workforce organises itself, this results
in an effective organisation with
satisfied workers.

5. (24/03/2019): Some people think that hard work and determination bring
success. Others think other factors such as money and good appearance
are more important. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

appearance. While all these are
necessary, I would argue that money is
the single most essential factor for
those who wish to achieve success.
On the one hand, the determination
to work hard is essential for anyone
who wants to earn a living and raise a
family. Firstly, this is true in terms
of employment, because most jobs
impose a heavy workload on
employees. Even jobs such as serving
customers in stores, supermarkets or
coffee shops, offering a minimum
wage, no job prospects and no
promotion opportunities demand hard
work and dedication. Secondly, from
a perspective of life outside work,

to earn a living: to earn money

a heavy workload: having many tasks
to perform
minimum wage: the lowest wage that
an employer is allowed to pay by law
job prospects: the chances of being

promotion opportunities: chances to
move to a more important position in
a company or organization
to support a family: to have enough
money to be able to look after a family

6. (01/08/2019): In many countries the cost of living is rising. What are the
effects on individuals and society? What measures can be taken to deal
with this problem?
Essay:
It is true that in many countries, it is

majority of people to make ends meet.
While the effects on individuals and
