Business culture can be defined as a complex of rules and worldviews which is a basic of business communication. This complex consists of three main elements – system of value orientations, system of relations and system of behavioral norms. Each society with a specific culture has also specific business culture; in each society the development of business behavioral rules generally reflects the development of rules of behavior in common life. When you communicate with a person from any society business culture of that society should be taken into account to avoid misunderstandings and to help to productive business relations.

First draft of my research report

Introduction

Since ancient times, especially in recent years the number of students who prefer to complete their undergraduate degree or postgraduate degree outside their country specifically States that have a huge reputation of their strong and excellent universities,
for example, America and Britain, but most of these students do not have efficient financial support to end their studies we see them face many of the financial problems.
One of the most important problems is the one related to the cost of the expensive living in Britain, we note these students looking for cheap and un secure accommodation just for saving for their school expenses, as well as using cheaper methods of transportation and some times it could take up to twice the distance to reach their universities for the same goal, savings for tuition fees. For that most students rely on their parents financially and some are sponsor by their governments as a scholarships, others do not have any kind of support and they are financially dependent on, in this case the students have to work in a part-time jobs so they will be able to pay for all their finances.

For all this many studies have been done to obtain convenient solutions for students to complete their university without financial problems in spite of all this, it has not conducted a study involving pre-sessional students at London Metropolitan University, it is useful to discover the problems facing them and to find out what can be done to help these students.


Aims

The Most Enjoyable Time i Spent in Cambridge

As a student who lived in Cambridge for a while, I want to tell you in brief how i spend my free time there. As a movies fan i spend most of my time in Cambridge Leisure one of the most popular places there, specially when the weather is terrible as it is an indoor erea. While in the sunny days, i prefer to lay down in the park by the river and enjoy the stunning view of the sunset there.

When i feel that i am in a good mood for shopping, i go either to Grafton centre, a centre which is full of brands, and sometimes if i am lucky, i find some festivals running there where food international products are provided or i go to the city centre, the lively busy erea in the middle of the town.

Summay from a local newspaper's article

A man was sttabed outside a bar in mill road, The man was seriously injured but he was rescued by the owner of the bar he used his belt to stop the bleeding from the injured man.

The wounded man was taken to Addenbrookes hospital. Until then, a 22-year-old was arrested as a suspect and was taken to a police station in the Parkside.

Since then, there are a lot of blood and bloody footprints on the pavement outside the pub. However, This attack did not worry the population of Cambridge, especially the local inhabitants of this road. The press has asked a resident of the street if the attack would cause them concernment?! and this was the response:
"Although I know that Mill Road has a reputation for not being a very safe place, I've lived there for two years and have never had any trouble at all.
"For me, Mill Road is much more about the diverse community and the independent shops: I love living there."
