On the 1st of March 2005, my summer term started with Business English 2. I teamed up with two nice girls, we will talk about Financial Management on the 10th of May 2005.

Our Team: BiancaBellora, KathrinSchoenfelder and ReneKiesler.

2005-03-01: Lecture Administration

Basically, Business English 2 is an intense reading exam. This is easy for some and hard for others. Anyway, just in time sometimes is not in time.

Business English 2 is -- similar to Business English 1 -- a mixture of business and country information. We will also repeat the government and election procedures, like in Business English 1.

There are 25 people and 8 topics. So most groups consist of 3 people, some of 4.

2005-03-08: Electoral Systems

Today, we heard about the british and the american electoral system.

This is important for the test!

Sophies idea to do a little quizz at the end of her presentation was very refreshing. Funnily, today one of the presentators was missing.

The sad thing about todays lecture of course was something different: Bianca left the team! There is an overlapping of the english course and another course, so she had to switch to another english 2 lecture.

But we will not have to talk about financial management only in a team of two. No, today a different girl joined our team as well.

2005-03-15: Social Wellfare

Next time, we will hear about the social wellfare systems of UK and US. The concept "Krankenkassa", which has been introduced by some Monarch a while ago to take away the workers arguments pro social democrats, is actually something Germany had earlier than Austria.
