Committing extended long warrant period is a successful marketing strategy for Littleswan, a local washing machine provider in China.

The common warrant period is 3-5 years for washing machines, and sometimes additional condition is added, such as the damage is not caused by the user intentionally. However, in a latest ads campaign, Littleswan promised 10 years warrant to any washing machine sold between the campaign launch date and Mar 31st of 2010. The buyers would get a VIP card as a certification of this premium service. Any damage in 10 years could be fixed for free, no element cost, no labor cost and even no home service fee. As for most family, Repairing household applications is costly and very inconvenient. Littleswan’s commitment really attracted a lot customers’ attention and proved to be a tempting reason for choosing this brand.

This warrant might turn to an empty one, because 10 years are such a long time. New technology will definitely replace old one, as a result, old model production may be ceased, so does its elements production. The skillful worker may retire in the meanwhile as well. Without the right material and man, how can Littleswan fixes customers’ machine then? Although I honestly doubt that Littleswan can really keep its word, for customers, this promise is fairly enough. Since the worse case they can foresee is that the machine breaks down in couple of years, and cannot be repaired, just the same as if they bought other brands. Same risk plus additional promise made the customers buy in the idea.

Littleswan must have considered the consequence of failing to provide the future service. Some customers may sue it. However, I believe very few customers would bother to do so in China, as it’s not cost-effective. You may be drown in an endless sue case, and wait for years before a sentence be achieved. Maybe, Littleswan can easily calm down such customers by providing a free new machine, which costs very little to the company.

119#的作文批改，老师说写得不错，开心

phjet

What is appropriate to ask and what is not. The answer varies from culture to culture, or even person to person. Normally, it’s not polite to ask anything related with a person’s privacy, such as age, income, marriage status, unless you have had a very good relationship with the person. In China, there is an interesting way of asking personal questions. It works like to trade one’s own privacy with the other’s. A man may start with “Hi, I’m 30 years old, and how about you?” The undergoing rule is, since I’ve shown my trust to you by telling you this, you’re sort of obliged to share the same with me. However, I don’t felt this is fair to the person who has been asked. For in the end, he might not intend to know what he has been told but is trapped into such a deal.

勤奋的楼主帮我批改一篇吧
topic：有人认为大城市住房短缺的问题只能由政府解决，你怎么看？

With the increasing growth of the population in big cities,governments have to face a serious problem, lacking of houses.Some people think that the problem is so serious that only policymakers can tackle it.In contrast,in my opinion,not only can governments compact the problem,the organisations and individuals are responsible to alleviate the situation as well.

Obviously, governments play a key role in solving the housing shortage.As the maker of a variety of policies,only the authorities has the rights of planning the city layout.In the designing process,the government should concentrate on the demand of residential lands,and encourge the property developers to construct more residential buildings for the citizens as far as possible.Through other measures,for instance, reducing the tax revenue,the government can guide the consumers to buy small and suitable houses.In addition,in order to control the population in big cities,the government should bridge the gap between the urban area and the rural area.

Also,corporations can help the government to combat the hard situation.Some factories may move to the outskirts of the city and build perfect living facilities,thereby attracting the staff to live there.

In terms of the individuals,we can buy a suburban house to solve this problem. In this way, not only purchase cost can be saved, we can also enjoy a good living environment: fresh air, no noise and so on.

In summary, the urban housing shortage should not just rely on the government's efforts. Apart from the government's macro regulation and control, organisations and individuals can also make efforts to alleviate the situation.

To order the right food in a restaurant is a big challenge, because you not only need to know which dishes are tasty, but also should keep in mind to check if they accompany each other well. It's so hard especially in a country of significant different culture from your own. Once in a dinner with a client, the host gave me the chance to choose desserts and drinks myself. I was lost in the long list menu and confused by those strange names. In the end, I picked up the most familiar two – ice-cream and green tea. That proved to be the worst match I ever had, the cold ice-cream and hot green tea. So asking for help or suggestion is safer whenever you feel uncertain in ordering food.

Ordering the right food in a restaurant is a big challenge, because you not only need to know which dishes are tasty, but also you should make sure they go well together.

深情的老歌
不经意间，一个人静静地坐在电脑前。听到那首深情的老歌 “ 走了这么久，变了没有？熟悉的旋律，今日重温，恍如隔世。心里暖暖的也酸酸的思绪如同清晨离巢的小鸟，抽脂减肥
随着美丽的旋律飞向远方 …
变了没有？ 远方的走了这么久。
茫茫网海，大千世界。朋友就像是游来游去的鱼，有的潜进深海，有的再也没有潜出水面 … 如此，生命中有太多过客，太多还没来得及记住，就已经消逝了所以，一直很珍惜所谓的记忆。那么，闲暇无事时，否也会想起一些人、一些话？或一段情、一杯酒、一辈子？
记忆是杯苦酒，人生路漫长艰辛。醉过之后无法苦尽甘来。曾以为岁月流逝的旅程，许多人我只是几百年的擦肩，短暂的彼此停留后，继续自己的步履不止，瞬间的温暖后，隆胸
沉默等待来自彼岸烟波的泅渡。远方的走了这么久，那个城市里，否你还有着千成不变的呼吸？谁会倾听你心情？谁会传递你一手的微凉？
或沮丧万分，喜欢这么一句话：红颜清泪。或愉悦万分，笑骂且由人，但求写尽灵魂的哀怒喜乐。
往往会在不经意间，人生的匆匆行程中。两个人擦肩而过，演绎一个致命的邂逅，留下一段无言的故事。不知道当我都年老时，再回味曾经的那些风轻云淡的日子，品味曾经的漂亮岁月，体会争吵时的复杂心情，否会看到如烟往事梦幻般从茫茫海面升起，否会为真诚的拥有而感慨，为伤感的别离而唏嘘。
曾经的诉说与倾听、曾经的快乐，为此。即使都已经成了过往，但永不删除。有些朋友，无论他小屋多久没来打扫，眼袋
地也久不见笔耕的足迹，都会保留。只是面对那已流逝的岁月，内心还是要泛起淡淡的酸的而我感慨，心情找不出可以形容的文字。
否也会偶尔怀念那段感心的相遇？ 远方的走了这么久。
人生中有太多的无奈。啊，人间有太多的悲喜。世界在变，生活在变，变的越来越繁荣，变的越来越富强。朋友在变，心情在变，一道道风景线也在变，变的让你难以追赶他步伐，变的让你把握不住他生活节奏。当我为这一切的不满抱怨的时候，朋友们却说是变了
扣心自问，历尽繁华。走了这么久，变了没有？生活在变，情感再变，身边的什么都在变。伴着春夏秋冬四季轮转，变我想变的守我该守的一路前行的脚印坚实而厚重，人生因此出色而无悔。不知道在经历过这些恩恩怨怨，打打闹闹后，还能陪着自己一起走并且走好久好久的能有几人？但请一定要记得，别把自己走丢了
否已找到所说的自由？ 远方的走了这么久。
物是人非心依旧。这个世间有着太多的变迁与流失，其实。激光脱毛
心里会默然邀允前来共品一杯茶，让茶的清香与绵甜，温润干渴的心田。
记忆的门一直不曾关上，淡去的岁月。无语的感念里依然有着似在昨天的相知悄然酝酿一坛往事的酣醇。一切都幻化为过去假如有一天，都将离别这浩渺的网络世界。那么，都会成为彼此生命中的微风，或不留一丝痕迹。如同这笔下的文字，复杂、简单、忧伤、清亮、宁静、平淡、释然 … 如棋、如茶、如雨、如水、如花、如云、如烟 … 双眼皮手术
但，祝福一直留在唇边，说出来嘴角有着不刻意的微翘，看着幸福的快乐还是自然的欢喜？
音乐在继续轮回 , 耳边。耳边环绕：走了这么久，变了没有 …

看到你这个经历。。。于是我也在线约了EF。。。上周末去了，一样也是那个测试，8分，不过我看lz写的作文比我好多了。。。可能那个测试不测作文的原因。EF那里人还蛮nice，没有逼你怎样。但是他们没有针对雅思的培训，也就算了。

Recently my cousin’s wife and her nephew visited and stayed with us for a week. In fact they came for a big exhibition hold in the city I live, and took my place as free hotel. I never have met her before, and didn’t know how she looked like and what kind of person she was. But since my aunt, her mother-in-law, called me and said they needed to stay for two or three days here, I could not refuse. It was not comfortable to have two strangers hanging around. In addition, my husband was so busy that week that he often got home very late. Therefore I had to look after my little kid and at the same time to treat my guests alone. I felt so exhausted and might have shown my unhappiness on my face. In the last night they stayed here, my guest tried to give me some money as gift, saying she had thought to buy some toys for my kid but didn’t know what was suitable. Surely I refused it, however felt embarrassed. I really hope such things won’t happen again.

Encouraging children to do some suitable paid work has become popular for parents in my country. I believe this is a positive trend, and it can benefit children very well in a long run.

For a long time, Chinese parents hold the belief that the top task of children, especially those in school, is study. Dong anything not related to textbooks is regarded as waste of time. Moreover, some parents worry about children’s safety in a paid job, since they’re still not mature either physically or mentally, and may not be able to protect themselves under some unexpected situations.
       
However these do not approve to be a problem, if we keep strict control on what kind of work children should do, also on the time they should spend. It’s not hard to find a proper job in the neighborhood. For example, part-time job in a fast food restaurant like MacDonald, one hour a day after school or couple of hours in weekends should be a good choice. Paid work generates extra pocket money, which children normally treasure more than the ones from parents, because it’s a reward to their hard work. The work experience can also make teenagers understand that life is not easy and money never comes in for free. As a result, they normally become more careful in spending money, more responsible for their family and more considerate when dealing with their parents. Furthermore, part-time jobs open a new window to the outside world for children, by providing opportunities to meet all different kinds of people, instead of only parents, teachers, schoolmates. They may face big challenges but at the same time learn how to handle them with appropriate guidance. As time passes by, they will be more skillful and even make new friends. Such kind of interpersonal skills are useful through their whole lives and cannot be learn from textbooks.

To conclude the argument, paid work is good for children’s growth. Its advantages can overweight the disadvantages as long as it is well selected and children are under proper supervision.

停了几周的录音也拾起来，也许是受昨天练口语的影响吧。觉得仍旧要多说，多说再多说。没人一起练就自己录音吧。
