It is important to learn business English if you are going to be successful in another country where English is the primary language．It will also be a great idea to practice speaking and writing in business English．If a university offers a course on business English, it will be a good idea to take the class．Reading, writing and speaking English is necessary to start a
business．
Business English is different from asking where to find the nearest hotel．There are classes you can take to help you but there are things that you can learn on your own．Vocabulary and grammar are a good place to start with．You need to know what words mean．Later, try to pronounce the words and then look them up in the dictionary．Try using them in a sentence and ask someone who is good at English to help you．Once you have an understanding of English, you can use it in business English．
In business you will have to learn such things as taking messages, answering the phones with proper words and communicating with your co-workers．You may have to learn how to make travel plans．Business English is very different than spoken English．Grammar is the same but you have to learn things like expressing yourself in a proper manner or maybe making a report in your office．
If you are working in the customer service sector （客户服务部门）, you really have to learn business English．Dealing with the public is sometimes more important than asking your boss for a raise （加薪）．Most businesses offer training classes and some companies offer classes on how to do the job with proper business English．

Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad．There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more．
There are so many sights to see here．It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it．Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live．When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to catch sight of （看见） an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before．It is a quieter mode（方式）of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture．When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand．It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car．
There are many choices of hiring （租）a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions．There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size．These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste．If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike （双人单车）, now is your chance, because they have those too．
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once．This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family．

It was time for a school holiday and I was at home．My family’s house was located in （位于） an area by the sea．
I just sat down in front of the television．Suddenly I heard a loud noise and then the first shock started to hit．My mom and I ran to the front door．We got out and we were standing in the street holding on to each other to stand up．The ground was covered with snow．I could remember watching black cracks in the earth snaking their way along the ground．A tree in our back yard was actually cut in half．
As suddenly as the earthquake started, it was over．Dead silence．Then a light snow began to fall．All the power was off—no radio, no TV and no communication with the outside world．We found out later that the ground area was lowered an average of 35 feet．
My dad succeeded in getting home from where he worked in the city centre．Later that evening we were told to leave the area because a terrible ocean wave was expected．We spent the night and the next day and night away from home at the shelter．
