As we know, in recent years, there are various kinds of new companies

10、which all have huge competitiveness. So how can we stand out in those companies? Surely, we need a great idea. Of course, I dont claim that we dont have any plans after we have a great idea.

12、always the ladder to success forever.4. The culture difference between China and foreign countries. Unit 14(1) Good morning teachers, our topic is about the culture difference between China and foreign countries. First of all, Id like to talk about something about culture difference.
