      Thousands of teenagers will be able to move to a new wave of “studio schools” at the age of 14 to improve their chances of finding a job in UK. Twelve new-style schools are open to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs.
Under plans, schools will operate longer days and work outside standard school terms.
      Each teenager will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with business related to the school and a personal coach will be sent to the teenagers to act as a school “line manager”.
       The reforms (改革) are put forward because of the fears that too many teenagers are finishing full-time education at present but they are short of the skills needed to succeed in the workplace. According to a recent report, more than two thirds of employers (雇主) believe school and college leavers have less important employability skills, while 55% say they are unable to manage their time or daily routine. And the number of NEETs who are not in education has hit a record high, with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or a training place.
      The Department for Education will tell the public the building of 12 studio schools – providing for around 3,600 teenagers – in areas such as Liverpool, Stevenage, Stock-on-Trent and Fulham, west London. Each one will be connected to the local employers. Under plans, teenagers will be able to move out of ordinary schools to attend them between the ages of 14 and 19.
    The government said all subjects would be taught “through projects, often prepared with employers” – with rules such as science being connected directly to local engineering companies or hospitals. Schools will operate a longer day to give teenagers a better understanding of the needs of the workplace. Along with their studies, students will carry out work placements for four hours a week, rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16 to 19. They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications (专业资历) connected directly to the needs of local employers.

 Videos of 77-year-old Xu Xiuzhen, who speaks different languages with foreigners while working at a place of interest selling water, postcards and headdress flowers, have made her famous.

Xu's village is located at the foot of Moon Hill, which is a popular tourist attraction. She has been working asa tour guide in Yangshuo since 1998.

 To support her family, Xu, who dropped out of junior school in the third grade, began to learn different languages in order to attract more foreign customers.

 Xu said she would convert(转换) words in any language into Chinese characters based on their pronunciation and then memorize them.

 Repcating the words in her head before going to bed and immediately after waking up has made it easier for her to join in basic conversations with foreigners, she said.

 Over the past 20 years, Xu has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Sparish, Japanese and Korean. Xu has also become one of the busiest tour guides in Yangshuo. She draws à large crowd of tourists every day, especially foreign visitors. Not satisfied to simply serve as a tour guide, she now owns a popular restaurant and operates a hotel as well.

"More and more foreign tourists are coming to Yangshuo, and I hope they will feel at home here with my help," she said.

 Welcome to life in the future! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You' ve recently had a new anti-aging(抗衰老) treatment, so you look like a 30-year-old. And many people your age could live to be 120 now, so--at 60--you' re not old at all.

 Science has also found amazing ways to keep people healthy. Nanotechnology(纳米技术) can help cure(治愈) many illnesses, including cancer(癌症). And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can"grow" a new one in a laboratory(实验室).

As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, "Turn red." It becomes red. In 2045, "smart" clothes contain nanoparticles(纳米粒子) that carry electricity. So you can program clothes to change colors or patterns

 On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your cell phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun. But you don't need to pick up the phone. You can just touch your jacket sleeve(袖子) to make the call

 It's breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but a voice says, "Don't drink that!" Your fridge knows the milk is old and tells the supermarket to replace it. Ten minutes later, it's delivered by a drone(无人机).

 As you leave for work, the lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into"sleep" mode to save energy. In 2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where you want to go.

 Will all this come true? Perhaps the future is much closer than we think.

If you didn't know my father well, you might think that he was a serious man. But he wasn't. He was actually a wildly funny person What made him appear so serious was the fact that he never smiled with his mouth. He did it all with his eyes. And you could see a tiny golden light dancing in the middle of each eye.

My father was not what you would call an educated man and I doubt if he had read twenty books in his life. But he was a talented story-teller. He used to make up a bedtime story for me every single night, and the best ones were turned into serials(续集).

One of them was about an enormous man called BiGi. He was three times as tall as an ordinary man and his hands looked like bike wheels.

"BiGi lives in an underground cave and has a factory where he makes magic powder (粉末) that out of the dreams that children make when they are asleep," my father's stories continued. "he then carries the powder and blows it through a child's window and the powder floats around the room…and the child breathes it in…"

"And then what?" I asked.

"And then. Danny. the child begins to have a fantastic dream and when the dream reaches its most fantastic moment.. then the magic powder really takes over….and suddenly the dream is not a dream any longer but a real happening" 

Once I fell asleep as my father had hoped. he would kiss me good night and turned down the lamp. I could feel the love in his smiling eyes as I started my dream.
