Can you find such job in Los Angeles, New York, Paris or London? Of course you can, but will you? Who knows. It’s not easy to find a job and make a living as a photographer.
The same is true in Buenos Aires. There are such jobs there, and you can find one in a day, but also you might not be able to find one in 10 years.

Maya Mendoza answers:

The business proposal is too long-winded and repeats itself regularly. The parts regarding filming events and capturing them onto dvd etc are mentioned several times, and yet this is not a unique service – it is readily available in the marketplace. It only needs to be mentioned once. Concentrate more on the unique elements of the business such as the internship and exactly how that will work. Write down each individual aspect of the business and then allocate each point to one of the Sub-headings, so that you are not repeating yourself. In section A (business overview) the line “Video Memory was generated after a successful attempt to create a treasured digital video memory of the owner’s daughter” implies that you are absolute beginners – I’d change that! Don’t use the word attempt.
You will need to have a good, clear financial layout for people to look at, as well as a financial business plan for the future.
It would also be worthwhile asking someone to double check the grammar and punctuation before you submit the plan – it’s ok but could be better.
Good luck with the venture.

Thomas asks…

What is the author’s purpose in this passage?

This is the passage followed by a multiple choice:

Merging the TV and the Computer

Major media companies are not sure how to
invest their time and money in upcoming
ventures. But many are taking the leap into
digital TV interactive devices and systems.
Right now, at the very beginning of the 21th
century, Europe is ahead of the U.S. in
developing these services. But soon, the U.S.
will catch up; interactive TV will start to become
common in U.S. households in a few years.

What is digital interactive TV?
This innovation is a blend of television and
computer components that lets you run searches
on the Internet and use e-mail and e-commerce
from a TV set. News services, delivered by
satellite or cable, could be available in a form
tailored to the individual viewer. Digital video
recording features would be widely available. So
you could pause live programming, tape it, and
view the entire show when you come back to it.

What are the problems?
Because the market will be fragmented while
companies try out different services, no one
knows what platform will prevail to deliver these
services. Some programs may be delivered
differently in various regions of the country. Also,
TVs and computers are different animals, as are
their users. Some critics of interactive TV see it
as a passive medium that one sits back and
absorbs. The Internet, in contrast, is active. This
suggests people won’t use both at the same
time, although some people do say they use the
Internet while watching TV. That group, about 25
percent of Internet users, could form a good
market niche for the services.
Other differences between TVs and
computers also need to be resolved to happily
merge the two. A low-resolution TV screen
displays Web pages poorly – so poorly that
they are often unreadable. Also, Internet users
who scorn aspects of TV don’t want it to define
the Internet. For instance, TV marketing has a
mass appeal that could lower the quality of
Internet interactions. Similarly, by making the
services accessible to all, a “dumbed down”
look could become typical.
Therefore, media companies are looking
into high-definition TV screens that will look like
computer screens. Also, high-speed cable
systems could help retain the sophistication of
computers while allowing the easy access of a TV.

a. In the middle
b. Mostly explanatory
c. Mostly persuasive

Maya Mendoza answers:

This is mostly explanatory – he suggests a possibility i.e. That media companies might look into high-definition TV screens etc. But he isn’t touting it. And he is explaining the pros and cons.
