Business people use techniques of sales promotion mainly in two ways: they often use a combination ofthese techniques; they use these techniques as supplementary to the other three promotional activities.3. Sales promotion is to stimulate demand.4. They are applicable to both consumers and businesses. Also, they can be used with industrial selling as wellas consumer products.5.

DXI StructuredWritingAs China is increasingly integrated into the global economy, more and more Western festivals are entering and influencing the Chinese people's lives, especially the university students' life.Take Christmas for example. As long as one month before December 25th, the students begin their preparations for this most important Western festival. Most activities are for entertainment in nature since thestudents are not much concerned with the religious meaning of Christmas. And most activities are eveningparties, often lasting all night long. As a result, quite a few students feel tired or even fall asleep in class during that month.Another incident still fresh in my mind took place last April. Some of us English teachers received a noteon April I st to say that all the English classes were to be canceled the next day. But actually we were fooled!Likewise, students act in a pretty westernized manner on Valentine's Day. They say to everyone theymeet "darling, love" and so on and so forth. In general, the Western festivals add a lot of fun and variety to astudent's life. At the same time, one must realize that they do challenge the Chinese culture and customs to acertain degree.

The two major excuses are "adverse local conditions" and "stop-and-go driving".6.

Because they suffered from low wages and oppressive working conditions.2. To the first generation of immigrants, work had great virtues. First of all, it ensured their own survival.Secondly, it made it possible for them to provide a better life and education for their children, which meantan improvement in their social status. Last but not least, it was the very hard work that gave their labors afierce dignity, which served as a driving force in their own life.3. Generally speaking, it*s because the way people view work is much changed. Specifically, there are fourcauses. The first is that today's younger workers have little idea about the poverty and suffering of theDepression and, therefore, don't know what work meant to those who survived the Depression.The secondcause is that unemployment no longer means personal ruin and shame thanks to elaborate financial cushions.Thirdly, the loss of a job now carries less personal shame, as it can be blamed on the wild and notoriousbehavior of the economy. And finally, work no longer just serves as a means of existence in a society whereexpectations are getting higher with rising educational levels.4. To explain the attitude to work of those who suffered the extreme poverty during the Depression, and tocontrast this with the attitudes of today's younger workers.5. According to Maslow, work meets human needs in the following hierarchy: first, it provides such basicmeans as food and shelter; second, it can provide security; third, it satisfies the need for friendship andconnection with others; fourth, it can help gain respect; and finally, it can satisfy the desire for self-fulfillment.6. Maslow's scheme is quoted to explain workers' expectations change with social andeconomic development. Because of these changes, work has different meanings to different groups insociety as they are positioned at different stages in the work hierarchy.7. The women's rights movement has made it possible for women to pursue careers, not just work for meresurvival. That is to say, they are working at the level of "fulfilling themselves", which is the highest inMaslow's work hierarchy.8. Conditions for some US workers, such as those on assembly lines, may be considered terrible. However, themedi workers suffered much more misery than those working on the modem assembly line. A poorIndian rubbish collector lives a more miserable life than a "poor" American car worker. The average peasantin South America works harder than most ofAmericans.9.
