Business vocabulary
The objective of this activity is to equip me with various business terms, which will provide flexibility in construction of various sentences structures. It will also enhance my skills in using synonyms in the construction of sentences, and in paraphrasing sentences.
I used the following vocabulary and their synonyms in the construction of the sentences: Profitability, shareholders, and Firms.

ABC Company has globalised its operation to international operation leading to improved company’s prosperity.

To enhance business vocabulary, I will put more effort in reading business journals and periodicals. This will give a pool of new business vocabulary useful writing.
