Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier they have even advertised in newspapers ar
30、guing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. They say that shorter hours are a disguised pay cut.

Green advertising started in the mid-1980s when issues of the environment muscled their way
36、 to the forefront of marketing. Advertisers saw the consumer desire for environmentally safe products and tried to meet the demand as quickly as possible. Not surprisingly, this first wave suffered from rough and poorly conceived marketing efforts. Many advertisers embraced a genuine concern for the

43、ring the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving.

46、drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature.
