答案If you choose topic A: What is important when preparing for a business trip? When preparing for a business trip, there are several things we should take into consideration. First of all, we should have a detailed schedule which includes timetables, worksheets, appointments, and names of possible contacts. We should keep the schedule flexible enough to allow for both unexpected problems and unexpected opportunities. Secondly, we need to arrange our trip within our budget, so the cost is another important factor when planning our trips. Internet would help us get the information about the level of local consumption in the destination. Thirdly, we also need to familiarise ourselves with local knowledge and make preparation accordingly. The local information and travelling tips online will enable us to get used to the destination city quickly and carry out our work easily. Last but not least, we must make sufficient business preparation for our trip. We have to keep in mind the trip’s goals and their relative priorities. In order to achieve our goals, we must have a professional attitude, pre-arrange all the business-related matters well and take everything we need for the trip, such as equipment, notebook, laptop, documents, and so on. Only through careful preparation can we have a successful business trip. If you choose topic B: What is important when considering setting up a staff activity centre? When considering setting up a staff activity centre, we should first ask about the staff’s opinions since the activity centre is set up for them after all. Their opinions should be valued. A discussion with staff will provide constructive opinions from the users’ side and greatly improve the satisfaction level of the staff. And the staff would be very happy and cooperative if they can get involved in the building of the activity centre. Secondly, we have to keep another factor in mind. That is, the available budget. The money allocated for the building project determines the scale and decoration of the centre. Of course, the project quality must be guaranteed. Moreover, the purpose and function of the activity centre must be clearly defined because they are important in deciding the style and furnishings of the activity centre. Lastly, the management of the centre is to be considered. In order to provide good service to the staff, the company should assign the staff or even a department to take care of the construction. Besides the money used for building the centre, it will need money to maintain its routine operation continuously, so the centre might need a professional management team to operate it. If you choose topic C: What is important when opening up a branch company? Opening up a branch company will help the parent company expand its business and influence. However, it is important to consider the following factors before we open up a branch company. Firstly, the location is very important. In China, the most popular sites are Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The location of a branch company and that of the parent company should be complementary. In other words, the new location should have some characteristics the parent company does not have, which can help boost the business to a higher level or broader platform. On the other hand, budget is another important factor which cannot be overlooked when opening up a branch company. Setting up a branch company in a new city is a big decision. Our purpose is to make money rather than burn money: therefore, we have to make decisions according to the budget so as to spend money effectively. Considering the high running costs and the complexities of setting up a branch company, the final decision is not necessarily the best one, but it must be the most appropriate one. In addition, we have to be familiar with the local conditions. For example, we must learn the living and consuming standards, customs, and the structure of labour force there, which together help us get used to the new place quickly and face the challenges of the new environment. Since the cost of local labour force is generally low, the branch company should recruit most of its staff from local people to maintain its routine operation.
