he talks about.
I work as a consultant in Blue View Inc. and I am involved in managing the
technical helpdesk for all eight branches across the world. The branches fall in
different time zones and the team have to be available for help 24/7. It’s a crazy
job as we have to work on shifts, and you never know what will happen from one
minute to the next!
To make life easier I have rented a house close to the office, so that I don’t have
to spend time travelling. I usually eat at the company canteen, which serves
great food everyday and saves me cooking when I get home. They also have a
great gym, so I don’t have to go far to get fit!
I don’t want to change my job now, as I am learning new things every day, but I
hope to get a promotion next year. The best part is the company is partially
sponsoring my Masters. What a great place to work!

The modern Olympic Games are the leading international sporting event
featuring summer and winter sports competitions. Thousands of athletes
compete with more than 200 nations participating. The Olympic Games are held
every four years and their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games,
which were held in Olympia, Greece. However, the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) was founded in 1894.
Several changes to the Olympic Games have been made for instance the
creation of the Winter Games, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a
disability and the Youth Olympic Games for teenage athletes. In addition to this,
the IOC has moved the Olympics away from pure amateurism to allow
participation of professional athletes. Furthermore, the growing importance of
mass media has created the issue of corporate sponsorship and
commercialising the Games. While this money is welcomed by many, some do
ask if the Games have changed too much.
