SECOND POST

In the second class, in groups of students (Erasmus- Spaniards) translated English words to Spanish words. So, everybody communicated in English, because some Erasmus don't speak Spanish. That way, the Spanish students improve their English.

Then Keith explained second topic "Business ownership: The private sector". He commented about the different forms of business ownership, like: sole traders, partnerships, private limited companies, co-operatives, franchises, charities. And the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of business ownership.

This class was very interesting and entertaining, since some unknown terms was explicated by students. And everybody gave their opinion.

My first post

My name is Noelia Ferrer Pedraza, I am 21 years old and I live in Alcoy. Now I am studying 4º of Business Administration at university (EPSA).

This is my first post, where I am going to describe the first English class.

The name of the teacher is Keith Stuart, and the class started with the description of subject, where the teacher spoke about the subject programme: exams, projects, tutorship, etc. Keith also commented that the students (Erasmus and Spaniards) have to mix between theirselves, in this way everybody will improve their English. So that everybody talked about studies, leisure, countries, etc.

Then the teacher explained the first topic: "the business activity and objectives". He spoke about the business activity, where he said there are four sectors: primary sector, secondary sector, tertiary sector and quaternary sector. He also commented the difference between a public sector organisation and private sector organisation. And objectives of each one. Some objectives of private sector business are profit, survival, share price, image and reputation, etc; and objectives of public sector are access and equality, quality and affordability.

Finally, the students conversed about the topic and we gave our opinion.
