“ USA? England? Australia? Which country is better to study in?” As China opens its door, many Chinese students want to learn about the world. It's true that studying abroad(国外的) can help students develop themselves. Students' language skills will be improved and it may be easier for them to find a job.
But there are problems that should be considered(考虑). Language is the first. Students must use a lot of time to learn another language and to get used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for the students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担)to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth(值得)it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example.

(2) Problems that should be considered before studying abroad. ① Students should spend much time another language and getting used to a different . ② Students have to learn to themselves. ③ The cost of studying abroad is very so that it brings a heavy burden to the family. |
(3). Is studying abroad the right choice? Different people have different ideas. In fact, whether they succeed or not depends on their hard work. |
I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
1). Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They'll help us when we need it. They'll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we'll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.
2). Special-interest friends. These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
3). Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we're still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
4). Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.

One of the Great British Bake Off winners Nadiya is telling us something about her life and her book Bake Me a Story.
Q: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
A: My kids like reading books, and they also like staying with me in the kitchen when I cook. So I think if I write a book with both stories and recipes (食谱), parents and kids can enjoy cooking together in the kitchen and then read a story when they wait for the food to cook.
Q: You baked (烘烤) the Queen' s birthday cake! {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
A: It' gave me great pleasure to bake for the Queen and to be a part of history. I would like to bake for David Attenborough too!
Q: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
A: The blueberry and orange soda bread. It's quick and easy, and it's very delicious.
Q: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
A: Of course not! To see the looks on their faces and hear the happy noises they make when they eat the cakes makes all the hard work worth (值得) it.
Q: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A: My most important advice is "Don't be worried about cleaning up "the kitchen. Try things out in the kitchen and have fun!"

Do you have any advice (建议) for those who want to get into baking? E. It takes so long to bake a cake, so do you feel unhappy when you see people eat it so quickly? |
Time Management
Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets the same amount of time each day. But here are some ways to use those hours better. As a popular saying says, "Work smarter, not harder."
The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities(优先权).{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Also, consider whether or not they are urgent—if they need to be done right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent, so make time for them.
Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day. Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure everything gets done.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening? Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good, saving easy ones for when you're tired.
Write down what you need to do and when. I keep two to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish. I focus on the shorter list of each day's tasks.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}When someone wants to give you a task, think carefully. Is it really important enough to spend your precious(宝贵的)time on? Could someone else do it instead?
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}If you're in charge of running a meeting, keep it short. Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time. Don't allow it.
In the end, using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it.
A. Think about the time of day you work best. B. That way I can make sure I don't forget anything. C. Figure out(弄明白)which of your tasks is the most important. D. Often, managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important. E. Meetings also tend to be a waste of time, so avoid them whenever possible. |
