　　Directions:
        　　Write a composition entitled To Be a Small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish
in a Small Pond. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline
given below in Chiness.
        　　1.在大企业工作的特点;
        　　2.在小企业工作的特点;
        　　3.我的看法。
        To Be a Small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond
        　　There are differences between working as a subordinate in a large
enterprise and presiding in a small firm, just as there are distinct differences
be between being a small fish in a big pond and a big fish in a small pond.
        　　在一家大企业中做下级与在一家小公司当主管，这之间有很大差别，就像大池子里的小鱼和小池子里的大鱼差别很明显一样。
        　　With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a
member of a well-known organization such as IBM or Unilever. You have the
opportunities oflearning from chief experienced executives and knowing about the
standard working process.
        　　如果是前者，作为知名机构中的成员，如国际商用机器公司(IBM)
或联合利华(Unilever)，你能获得很强烈的满足感。你有机会从有经验的首席执行官身上学习，并且了解标准的工作流程。
        　　With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may
bring immediate effect. Normally you are exposed to various experiences and
expected to do a great many things without much help or guidance.
        　　如果是后者，你有更大的责任，而且你的决定可以马上生效。通常，你会处在各种经历的影响下，并且有可能在没有多少帮助或监督下做大量的事情。
        　　Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where I am more likely
to be promoted. To be frank, I'd rather become a well-known and important figure
within my own small pond than swim as an unknown and small shrimp in a big
golden pond.(162 words)
        　　依我个人看来，我习惯在小企业工作，在那里我更有可能得到晋升。坦白地说，我宁愿在我自己的小池子里成为出名的重要人物，而不是成为一个在大的金色池塘游来游去的不知名的小虾米。
