Hey everyone!   In our last English lesson we were talking about CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility. Today I am going to give you some information about.   There are different opinions about CSR, some think it helps to improve the reputation and profit margins for companies, others think it just costs money for businesses, while others think that businesses are doing it to help the environment and the society and on the other side some think it is just a marketing technique.   CSR has many different forms, both social and environmental. As an example to use fair trade goods to create products or to sell fair trade goods, to ensure that no animal testing occurs or to use less energy and fuel.   In my mind CSR is not an option for every business. Of course, it is a great idea, but there are companies which have to focus on core business. Small companies are not able to spend money on unnecessary frills like this. I totally understand this, but ...

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about Social Media websites and their upgoing or down going trends. More people spend their freetime on Social Media. It is an interesting activity to get information, share pictures or meet new friends. Some people like to give advices to other people and help them. Others use it as a diary and share their adventures. I also use Social Media websites like Whatsapp or Instagram. Whatsapp is great to communicate to new friends. It is easy to text them, call them or make a video call.  Instagram is a great platform to share pictures. Sometimes I share one of my friends, my family or myself, too. It is important for me to have a private account, that means I am only accepting people to follow me I know.  In comparison to these platforms I do not use Facebook or Twitter. In know, that some of my friends have an account on Facebook but they do not check it regularly. I do not know many people who use Twitter. The line graph...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my press review. I was reading an article the other day in the printed edition of Business Spotlight and it talks about the increasing use of electronic equipment in school. In my mind it is an exciting issue and maybe you will also be as interested in it as I am. I thought you might be interested, because technology is becoming more important nowadays.  Basically what it says is that school looks different in Kenya than in Austria. There is no teacher in the classroom and small groups of ten-year-old children are gathered round tablets, tapping and swiping between brain teasers and educational videos. The students in these classes are using eLimu, which is a local software platform that aims to optimize learning by turning Kenya’s school curriculum into colourful and easy-to-digest exercises. In Kenya are many companies, which try to bring education into the digital era by scanning textbooks, developing bite-sized c...

Hello everyone! We were reading two articles in school the other day, which were talking about advantages and disadvantages of Fairtrade. Harriet Lamb is a proponent for Fairtrade. Philip Booth is against Fairtrade. The named some good aspects of Fairtrade. I am going to tell you my opinion now. In my mind Fairtrade is great, because thereby small farmers and workers in developing countries get better prices. Still, I have to admit that it happens that there are forgeries of markings sometimes. Another good aspect is that there is no child labor allowed. In addition to that it protects more the environment. All in all better working conditions are ensured, for example no forced labor. In contrast to that Fairtrade product are more expensive and they are not available in all markets. Some say that Fairtrade benefits only a small number of farmers and penalising others. I agree on that, because it is not possible to help all farmers all over the world, but it doe...
