Do you like to be a salesman in a big company?With the development of economy, more and more salesmen are needed in all kinds of companies, big or small. Meanwhile, more and more people like to be salesmen. As for me, I like to be a salesman in a big company for the following reasons.Firstly, in terms of income, salesmen in a big company often earn big salaries. It goes without saying that salary is an important consideration when one chooses a job. Generally speaking, a big company offers a better pay to its salesmen that a small company does. As a breadwinner, I certainly prefer to work as a salesman in a big company. Secondly, in terms of self development, salesmen in a big company often get better chances to further develop themselves, .Nowadays, earning a large sum of money is not the only purpose of salesmen, they also want to improve their abilities and enlarge their knowledge as well. A big company usually provides in service training to its salesmen which few small companies are able to provide. Thus, I like to be a salesman in a big company for this reason. In short, for the two reasons I mentioned above, I want to be a salesman in a big company.Lesson Two Eve line A. Answer the following questions on the text : 1.
