【参考范文】
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to analyze how the company should reinvest its profits this year. Options under consideration include purchasing new company buses, providing language training courses and paying special bonuses.
Findings
Options under consideration
New company buses
Despite that the motorcade of company buses are aged, they are still good enough to use. They are equipped with comfortable sofa seats, air-conditioning system and even karaoke. Therefore, their hardware is definitely not out of date. In addition, engines of these vehicles were only replaced last year, and they all came from Bolvo which run very smoothly. As a result, new company buses would be out of the question.
Culture comparative courses
Since the company is planning to increase its international market shares, especially in China and Japan, attending culture comparative courses would be very help for employees to deal with business partners and customers in those regions. Furthermore, courses would also increase cohesion, that is to say, staff members would get on with each other as classmates. They would certainly keep in memory this special period of happy time for many years to come. Therefore, the idea of investing in culture comparative courses is not bad.
Special bonus payments
As is known to all, special bonus payments would stimulate motivations. However, they would not have immediate improvement on the company’s overall performances. In addition, there’s also a potential hazard regarding the resentment of stall ineligible for the payments. If a precedent for future payments is set, think about what we shall do then to boost the morale in a rainy day. Therefore, it would be unwise to invest in bonus payments.
Recommendations
To conclude, investing in culture comparative courses will achieve a win-win situation for both the company and staff. It is recommended that the company arrange courses in Chinese and Japanese for employees who have contact with partners and customers in the above regions. As for other members of staff who are interested, they should also be encouraged to participate in.

Mini-representation One:
I think when managing a company one of the most important features is communication. Good communication is necessary at all stages of the business process, which can contribute to a successful business.
Within individual companies internal communication occurs at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another in term of the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees to convey their messages. Negotiations are conducted with regard to pay and working conditions. Managers express their decisions and orders through good communication, which can achieve the aim of improving morale and motivation. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production, wages and their spare activities.
Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.
Question: Can you tell me other vital elements which result in efficient management of a company?
Answer: Many requirements are important for the efficient management of a company, both internal and external. We need good communication, good staff and managers, smooth flow of the capital, the full cooperation between the company, etc.
Mini-representation Two
Firstly, it is of very importance to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basic rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the competence to condense and organise sophisticated information to make it accessible to the public. A good writer must also be capable of dealing with meeting tight deadlines. Secondly, as far as career prospects are concerned, after acquiring valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of working on managerial roles. They may then have the responsibility for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, whose services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.
Question: What do you think which factor is more significant, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?
Answer: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers not only being able to write well but also being competent to meet tight deadlines.
