Dear Job Hunter ,
Thank you for your letter . It is too bad that the labor market for college graduates in China seems so restrictive . The fact that you have no work experience should be a positive factor . It means that you bring a freshness and innovative approach to a company .
You ask about the job scene in America . It is mixed and constantly changing . Much depends on the state of the economy . Certain industries hire when others are discharging employees . For example , at this moment the health care industries are expanding and there seems to be many job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers . We need more doctors and nurses and other health care providers because of our aging population . The housing industries also need more workers . Most of these are not scholars , but tend to be “ blue collar workers ” such as carpenters and electricians .
With the present growth of the Chinese economy , there should be increasing need for college graduate . Because I know very little your economy , I am not able to advisee you where these jobs might be .
With warm regards and best wishes for whatever job you desire .
Bob

One hundred years ago , the first shake struck at 5 :12 in the morning , and the region shook violently for one minute .
The quake of magnitude 7.8 damaged or destroyed thousands of buildings over a wide area , but Keremitsis says most of the devastation (毁坏) was caused by fires that bund uncontrolled for three days . The earthquake and fires claimed at least 3, 000 lives , and left more than 200 , 000 homeless .

The 1906 quake was caused by a crack along the San Andreas Fault (圣安地列斯断层) that occurred beneath the ocean floor just west of the city . Other major fault Lines crisscross the area , and scientist David Schwartz says the next big quake could well occur on the Hayward Fault , east of San Francisco .
“ The problem is that we do not have any direct evidence that earthquakes are predictable , ”says Ralph Archuleta Deputy director of the Southern California Farthquake Center .

How would you like to teach yourself , rather than have teachers According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills , students will teach themselves in the schools of the future . This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers .
Estelle Morris , the UK Education Secretary , opened the Educational Technology Conference in London recently . To start the conference , she presented a video showing a computer-generated model of the school of tomorrow .
Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning , Morris said .

Children of all abilities will “ form the curriculum (课程) around their individual needs .” They will learn in their own time , at their own speed and I their own environment .
At home or at school , they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts .
Instead of going on field trips , students will use virtual reality . If they do not understand something , they can ask other students— “ take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs ” —or e-mail their teachers .

Dear Job Hunter ,
Thank you for your letter . It is too bad that the labor market for college graduates in China seems so restrictive . The fact that you have no work experience should be a positive factor . It means that you bring a freshness and innovative approach to a company .
You ask about the job scene in America . It is mixed and constantly changing . Much depends on the state of the economy . Certain industries hire when others are discharging employees . For example , at this moment the health care industries are expanding and there seems to be many job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers . We need more doctors and nurses and other health care providers because of our aging population . The housing industries also need more workers . Most of these are not scholars , but tend to be “ blue collar workers ” such as carpenters and electricians .
With the present growth of the Chinese economy , there should be increasing need for college graduate . Because I know very little your economy , I am not able to advisee you where these jobs might be .
With warm regards and best wishes for whatever job you desire .
Bob

How would you like to teach yourself , rather than have teachers According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills , students will teach themselves in the schools of the future . This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers .
Estelle Morris , the UK Education Secretary , opened the Educational Technology Conference in London recently . To start the conference , she presented a video showing a computer-generated model of the school of tomorrow .

At home or at school , they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts .
Instead of going on field trips , students will use virtual reality . If they do not understand something , they can ask other students— “ take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs ” —or e-mail their teachers .

M : What do you mean
W : He comes home every night around 10 o’clock with his car window rolled down and radio
making great noises . It stops as soon as he turns the car off . But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake
M : Oh , no
W : Oh , yes . Sometimes it takes us until midnight just to get them to settle down again .
M : Have you tried talking o them
W : We have’t even really met them yet except to say a quick hello .
M : You are not going to like them when you do meet them . I dare say
W : I know , but I feel stupid complaining . Well , you know how early I have to get up to be here
at the office , I’m just not getting enough sleep and neither are the children .
M : Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift . Then you could ask about their son and
they’ll be sure to ask about yours
W : Yeah
M : Then you could mention that the hardest thin at present is getting your children to sleep at
night
