How to improve your english on the internet ?







WEBSITES

First of all, many websites on the internet can help you to improve your english :
for example these ones :
- http://www.learnenglish.de/
- http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/

and many others.

DICTIONARIES

Moreover the internet is one of the richest media you can find. Of course there are also many dictionaries on the internet which can help you :
The best one, to me, is :
- http://www.wordreference.com/fr/

On the other hand, Internet is fabulous place to meet each other so why not to go on a 'chat space' and talk with other people !!

VIDEOS

Videos on You tube can also help you !





Finally my personal advice

is to hear english radios and to watch english tv on the internet :

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/





I think hearing the radio helps you to familiarize with the language. Its also brings you a general culture about the country.

It's really helpfull !!!

Strikes !! or why I won't be at school tomorrow




French people have many specificities... : bread, wine, frogs and in all that stuff STRIKES.
French strikes is a really interesting phenomenon because tomorrow cities will be paralized because of people revendications. I wont give any judgment on that action but, in a sociological point of view, its interesting to notice that in the XXI century a capital like Paris may be on pause for a day. But I will testify tomorrow ...

ExistenZ

Corrected text

I currently work in a company that employs 65 salaries. It is located in Paris in the 15th arrondissement on the street called Rue Maubert. Its sells children’s software.

It benefits from government subsidies from the state to hire young interns. That is how I received my job which is entitled "sales representative". At first, my job title was "marketing manager", but I changed jobs.

We sell a range of products with the brand Youngsoft. We have many marketing expenses. Our display advertising in the metro is one of the most expensive. Our PR department also has a very large budget. We create our own commercials with our copywriting staff, and we do our own edition of user manuals.

Our quarterly results for this year have all been very positive. The market we are in is very interesting right now, and that is why we are making profits.

We want to sell our products in Tahiti because we think overseas customers would be interested in buying them.

In a nutshell, because of our positive ethics and interesting market niche, we have a rosy future.

Create communities of values

To me, create communities of value is a fondamental aspect for a brand because it deals with her 'fond de marque', what the brand represents for customers and what message it wants to communicate. In the case of a digital strategy it can means : creating a blog or a community which can help people to share about the brand. For example, for a newspaper it can be really important to create such spaces, dedicated to customers to earn suscribers...
The only problem is that it can be difficult to be original for a brand using that kind of stategy because everybody uses it....

Outsource to the customer


Outsourcing all or part of a company's customer service operation may help to lower costs with a better focus in-house resources. But, acording to me, as it is well explained in a ZDNET article : 'executives who hire an outsourcer to make customer service problems "Go away" often find that the projected cost savings are quickly swamped by increased customer dissatisfaction and expensive customer attrition.'So maybe the effective outsourcing means eliminating the service gap by intelligently and actively managing outsourcing relationships.
