I’m work for an internet company which is called meitu. I’m in charge of the sales team and I have the 15 team members. we work for a kind of local brands such as Loreal. We are responsible for make the revenue. The revenue from advertisement.
The reason I come here is I want to improve my English for useful and I will have an examination for the MBA. I prepare a lot of things. The important thing is promote my English well. Not only speak and written and so on. My background is very normal. I want to study MBA because I want to expand my humor resources / improve myself to know a lot of network.
My first target is Shanghai JiaoTong Uni.

Jiaotong uni is very difficult to pass. I have an interview in May.

The department spends a lot of money so we changed the strategy. This year totally depends us to make the revenue.

almost people mind is money is more important. I don’t agree but it is common in the Chinese society. The doctor who make people better is not very respect from the people. they have the little salary. It is too sad. And the teachers and not very respected too.

If I were be a teacher I very proud of my work. I teach people what do you want to become person. so I think teacher is a very respect position but in Chinese teachers also make money.

I’m working for an internet company (which is) Called meitu. I’m in charge of the sales team and I have 15 team members. we service brands such as Loreal / brands in the cosmetics industry and the luxury industry. We are responsible for growing the revenue. The revenue comes from advertisement.

I want to improve my English level so that I can use English freely in the future.
I will take an examination/test for the MBA. I prepared a lot of things. The important thing is to improve my English well. Not only speaking  but also writing. My background is very normal. I want to study MBA/ I want to get an MBA because I want to expand my social skills/ improve my network.
My first choice is Shanghai JiaoTong Uni.

Jiaotong uni is very difficult to get in / the test is difficult to pass. I have an interview in May.

The department spends a lot of money so we changed the strategy. This year it totally depends  on us to grow the revenue / reach the target revenue.

Money is always on people’s mind. / people are always thinking about money. I don’t agree but it is common in the Chinese society.  Doctors who make people better are not very respected (among people). they have a small salary. It is unfair. And teachers are not very respected either.

If I were a teacher I would be very proud of my work. I would help people realize what they want to become and how to improve themselves.

so I think being a teacher should be is a very respected position/job but in China teachers also want to make money.
