商务英语口语(基础篇)

A factory tour is a free tour sponsored by the company providing the tour to promote their products, contrary to an escorted tour or a self-guided tour where there usually is a substantial cost involved because they are businesses within themselves.
These manufacturing companies that offer these factory tours think of it as public relations. While most factory tours are free, some do charge a small fee. Most factory tours have a definite daily schedule, while some require an appointment (especially for large groups). Sometimes factory tours are associated with or an extension of a museum. Many times, at the conclusion of a factory tour, the company even gives away samples of their products or has reduced “factory prices”.
A career is an individual's journey through learning, work and other aspects of life. By the late 20th century, a wide range of choices (especially in the range of potential professions) and more widespread education had allowed it to become possible to plan (or design) a career. Traditionally, career success has often been thought of in terms of earnings and/or status within an occupation or organisation. This can be expressed either in absolute terms (e.g. the amount a person earns) or in relative terms (e.g. the amount a person earns compared with their starting salary).
