Explain why you consider him as a successful business
We like him because “as the young generation that will do business, Chairul advices us that young people must wait and do step by step to make their own business, it because build a business not as simple as turning your hand, we must takes patience, have a lot of strength and never give up. Don’t ever think that a success business is gained instantly, but keep patient and never give up is a must in business. It is very humane if someone in trying eager to get the results, but not all of the result can be received directly.
Hi group 13, I think there is a mistake in your writing. In paragraph 1, you wrote "CT is one of the success businessman in Indonesia." You have to use "successful" not "success" because success is noun.
BalasHapusThank you for your comment Nurul :)
BalasHapusOkay I will revise it with my friends in group 13
Hi group 13. Let me correct your mistake in this project. I'm sorry if i wrong.. :-)
BalasHapusFirst, in paragraph 5, you wrote "...just a few of us who knows the past life of him", I'm not really sure about word "knows", i think it's does not use "s" because the subject is plural.
Second, for paragraph 6, you need comma (,) after the sentences "To finance his studies, ... "
Third, paragraph 7 for the first line, i think it does not use "starts", because the sentence is not present tense.
