你辦公室裡的每個人是否一直都同意? 當有人提出建議時, 是否每個人都只是微笑點頭表示同意? 當你提出一個想法時, 人們只是接受它嗎? 出色地, if you answered “yes” to any of these questions, 你在一個非常不尋常的工作場所. 人民就是人民. 和人撞頭. 他們不同意, 他們爭論, 他們打架. 你無法繞過它. 但你可以學會處理它.
In the Internet age, every company needs a web presence. The foundation of this presence is a good website. This is where customers and the public can go to find information, engage with each other and the business, 和, in many cases, purchase products and services.
It’s essential that your website is designed to convey the right image and send the right message. Not only does it have to look great, but it needs to be usable as well. This means that it must be laid out in a way that will help people find what they’re looking for with ease. Internet users have a very short attention span, so if they can’t get around your site easily, they’ll quickly move on to something else.
在我們聽之前, 讓我們來談談搭配. 搭配是母語人士經常一起使用的一組詞. 正確的搭配聽起來很自然, 雖然不正確的搭配聽起來不自然. 例如, in English we say “go online” to talk about using the Internet. But we can’t say “proceed online” or “travel online,” even though “proceed” and “travel” mean “go.” Those simply aren’t natural expressions.
