1) what should the owners do to make profit?
2) how can the advertisement help to popularize the business production?
3) what measures have the business organization to take to increase productivity?
As the problems were rather interesting the students were active and were able to give answers to all the questions, expressing their own point of view of the problem.
After the seminar they were still discussing the ideas. Of course, they couldn’t come to a definite concession, but realized that they had already possessed some knowledge to develop their own ideas.

Jane was lucky at the examinations and passed them all successfully. She was really the top student* in her group. She knew her parents were looking forward for having their daughter at home. At last the day came! She was warmly met, her favourite dishes were served, photos were taken and her stories about student life were listened to with great interest.
On Christmas Day the family got together at holiday supper, and the most exciting moment came when everybody was presented with a Christmas gift. Presenting gifts is as pleasant as getting them!
At midnight there was a telephone call from Spain. Dolores congratulated Jane and her family on Christmas.
