What do you really think about...? Journal Blog 2/27/08

What do you really think about...?

These two options are very different from each other. Choose ONE that you would like to read; after you read it (quickly) write your journal blog. You can write pessimistic and optimistic opinions. Try to use the gerunds & infinitives you studied in your writing.

Please DO NOT take the whole classtime. Also, DO NOT complete your journal another day; it must be completed today.

Advanced Composition


ABC CO has a new policy to the people that they trying to back to the traditional way to attractive all the audience. They also can earn many commercial business when they do this change, they also trying to use the local internet to provide their product, such like video on demand cable service. So the views can use both traditional television and on demand channel.
The article mentions the internet program video which is how incentive the rating, the affiliate of the all the effect, more than two hundred stations around the all America, it must like network, the all station connect together, ABC CO is a very ambitions corporation, it trying to monopolize this business.
Commercial advertisement always the major income of the media business, the article mentions they change the time to resale the content, it’s also the another profit to make it, but I was wondering how much margin that they can catch, because the viewers whom are already the number they have, the number of the view and rating will not change drastic, and even they sold out all the commercial time period, margin of figures still maintain with the original, not only the time period, but also the TV program profit.
In conclusion, I think the new change will be good , it will bring a new vision and more affection on the folks, but how long it will stimulate, how much benefit they can obtain, that still need to thoroughly deliberation, and if I am CEO of the this company, I will recalculating all the cost that necessary.

Here my respond come:
Petit gar�on, I love shopping and so does everybody. I looks younger because I always feel happy. In some cases, I know more than you do. I don't care a lot, it makes me likely a baby (too much huh :D). I just know that I do what I want and don't make someone sad or dissapointed. Tu ne savai rien qui je suis et que je pense. Dans mon yeux, tu es encore enfantin. This's my comment for you and for Azimi's assignment. :D
