I have just bought the premium account. I am really satisfied with the materials here. Thank you for the great job!
The only question is why are the online activities not all in the flash version (like I was provided while using the free trial version) but in the old-style HTML? I expected that minimum the activities to the new E-Books like Succeessful Job Interviews would be in a Flash. The HTML version is not so motivating as the modern flash version;-( Or do I have just to click somewhere here to use the flash version?
Sofia,
We share your enthusiasm for the new Flash activities and we’re working on converting all existing activities to this new format.
然而, as noted in the link, the activities for BEP 122 are just a preview. We will start converting the rest later this month and estimate this work will take at least 4-5 months to complete (有结束 700 活动).
As you mentioned, we will start with the eBooks – the new negotiations series will actually be first, followed by jobs, 演示文稿 & 会议.
As the new activities become available we will be sure to notify all members and provide links.
Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am glad to hear that you are working on that issue. I am sure this is very important for the success of your website. It is like eating the best food from an ugly plate…. But I know that the food on your site is very good and healthy for my Business English skills and would eat it further. Looking forward to using the beautiful plate as soon as possible… ;-)
Good luck and best regards!
Sofia.
