“It goes without saying, a good car at a low price will sell well in global markets,” said a head of Asia forecasting; however, about a few years ago, this idea was considered a joke especially in prosperous countries, such as America. They then put emphasis on the comfort as well as safety, and no one could have prophesied our dire situation now. The whole environment has changed. Not only economy but also nature calls on a more environmentally friendly compact which consumes less gasoline.
As far as I am concerned, the invention of Tata Nano, such a cheap small car is a gospel to meet my necessity. For one thing, it costs much cheaper allowing common people to purchase in order to improve the inconvenience ridden only by scooters or bicycles. For another, this kind of car is said to decrease the use of gas, which matters significantly now due to the fluctuation of oil market.
Nevertheless, there is still one potential problem tormenting me. What will our environment become worse or better, if a swarm of people own these attractive cars? It is likely that because of demand overweighing supply, the selling price and gas price tower instead. Moreover, the accumulation of waste air emitted by many riders may cause a more devastating damage to natural environment.
Besides, its safety is also a big concern. One commentator joked that if people hit a deer with the Nano, they have to ride the deer to work. Obviously, he exaggerates its danger. In fact, the compact is designed to use only for city driving , and up to date, no car accident happened simply out of the car itself having problem. （281 words）

“ Enjoy with Absolut responsibility.” This slogan not only attracts the customers’ attention but also conveys a deep meaning, the social responsibility of enterprise. It is said that during the hardest time, people tend to be more addicted to various enjoyments, such as movies and beverages. No wonder according to the recent survey, those two items are cash cow , which means now we are encountering the global recession. Nevertheless, the reason may be that it’s a delightful way to shun those tedious and unpleasant experiences happened in real world. They have the magic to help ease pressure. Especially the alcoholic liquors, they can do more than wipe out miseries temporarily but keep you away from them for good----because one is already in the heaven.
Sinking in an abyss of grief, an alcoholic who can’t help drinking needs someone to give a hand. The savior could be retailers, bartenders, even as well as consumers themselves now. The company puts emphasis on drinking in moderation rather than merely encouraging drinking at random. As for bartenders, they are taught when it’s the right time to stop costomers from losing consciousness. Moreover, if one exactly knows in advance that he is going to bottom up, there is a function in the cellphone to remind him of avoiding excessive drinking.
There is always a controversy about whether those addictive products should be advertised widely in public. Take cigarette and alcoholic drinks for example. Sometimes they are even in dispute when one movie has too many shots about them; however, if the company now has self-consciousness to save the society, they seem to become more lovely and welcome to show up. Undoubtedly, this business strategy has positive effects on both the public and company itself.(291 words)
