- 3 "we gave you all the information required for a successful pre-emptive sale" "Pre-emptive" means before the object of the sale is available on the open market. This is a commonly used term in the business world. For example, pre-emptive real estate sales are commonplace at the moment in many parts of the US. A person selling a house approaches a real estate agent, who tells the other agents in his or her office. One of those agents has a client looking for just that kind of house and they sign a contract before the house is ever listed on the open market MLS.0 votedMarch 7, 20170
The recession is forcing young people to go abroad or face unemployment - Writing task
Excellent!
Here in Spain the unemployment rate is reaching up to has reached 50% and some people believe it could go higher by the end of 2017. This is not a new problem but an structural one. Facing this reality, a lot of young people have decided to go abroad and try to develop a new life in other countries. Although the natural choices would seem to be in European countries, many decide for choose places in Latin American where there’s there is no language barrier. Also the cultural differences are less acute than in other places like the Nordic countries, famous by for their well being and social benefits but with a very different way of life, and a much very unpleasant weather.
The national and local authorities regard this segment of society as a top priority in their political programs but as the years pass by the situation only seems to get worse. There are some forms of public aid such as unemployment benefits and mandatory educational courses aiming at the updating and developing of skills, which in turn can help to find in finding a new job. But it is not an easy task considering the huge number of young people affected.
In my opinion, as the labor market goes in the direction of new technologies and automatization, the authorities should put their efforts in developing different ways of creating jobs that are suitable for young people, preventing the actual exodus. Needless to say that not only the future of this these people is are at stake, but also the retirement pensions funded by their salaries retentions.0 votedMarch 5, 20171- 1) What does it mean by 'on offer'? Strategies can be put in place to increase the perceived quality of what you've got on offer. In this situation "on offer" means the product(s) or service(s) you have available for sale. 2) Nothing can replace the creative buzz you get off interacting with them, really exchanging ideas, it's only whether the price of that is worth it. In this situation get off means "receive" but the sentence is not well written grammatically or in its ability to convey meaning. "Get off" means receiving pleasure, often of a sexual nature. I would not recommend using it as this user has in what sounds like a business situation. "It's only whether the price of that is worth it" (and it should be a separate sentence) means "If the inconveniences of interacting with others is less than the benefits of the 'creative buzz' depends on the situation." 3)Is 'course' equal to 'of course' in the word meaning? In some ways, yes.., course, the question is, how do you get there? Yes, in this situation the writer is shortening "of course" to "course". This is not typical and looks sloppy. I presume all three of these interactions came through chat, forum or email? Please be aware that the grammar and word usage is quite poor throughout. This is not the type of writing to mimic.0 votedMarch 5, 20173
