Studying Abroad
Nowadays, studying abroad becomes popular in China. Many rich parents would rather send their children abroad to receive education than let them be educated in China.
There are advantages for people to study abroad. Firstly, he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that he can make great improvement in the language, because they have better chances than any other to practice their skills. While studying in a foreign country, he will meet many foreigners and it is possible to make friends from all over the world. This is not only exciting, but also could lead to important overseas contacts(海外联系) in his career(事业). He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science. In this way, it is possible that he can open his mind.
Of course, attending schools abroad may bring about a lot of problems. The most serious problem is language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who go abroad don’t have enough skills in the local language. As a result, they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. They may also run into trouble in dealing with different kinds of situations. So, if you are given a chance to study abroad, you must consider the both sides of the matter carefully before making up your mind.

To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that show up in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story does not only have to be correct, but it must also be relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That’s why you care more about what happens at your school than at schools in America. It’s also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk much about news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.

Micro blogs like Weibo are nothing new for the young Chinese. A newspaper in Chengdu did a survey last month. It found that 90 percent of junior high school students use micro blogs.
They give students an outlet (出口) for emotion. “I use micro blogs to record my life. I let everyone ‘see’ my feelings and complaints (抱怨),” said Liu Fangyue, 14, from Xiamen No. 1 Middle School. They have fun with classmates even after school. “I would send a message to praise someone who came first in the exam,” said Liu.
Teachers also join in the fun. “When I sit down to talk to my students, they may not tell me their real thoughts,” said Lu Dongping at Nanning No. 2 Middle School. “But on micro blogs, they are more relaxed. They even make fun of me.”
You would be wrong if you think micro blogs are all about fun. Zhong Yun from Xiamen Haicang Experimental School sees it as a tool (工具) to learn English. The 13-year-old girl follows foreign stars such as Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber.
“In order to understand their English posts, I have to check the dictionary and learn many new words,” said Zhong.
“Micro blogs widen students’ perspectives (观点), but there are rules to follow,” said Shi Zhongying, a professor from Beijing Normal University. He shares some of them with micro bloggers.
“Manage your time, and don’t let micro-blogging affect your studies and health,” said Shi. “Don’t give out your name, family address or phone number on micro blogs. You should also respect (尊重) truth and other people’s privacy (隐私).”

Problems
A	B	C
My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do? Helen	My best friend has suddenly turned her back on me and I don’t know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and e-mailed too, and over the weekend we went shopping together and she was fine. But at school on Monday morning she didn’t look at me or speak to me. I don’t know what I’ve done. She now spends all her time with another group of friends. Jane	I have a really bad habit of chewing（嚼）the ends of my hair. I try to stop, but I can’t! My mom is starting to get really angry about it. Have you got any ideas? Gina

Advice
Hi _________, Why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house—it’s only fair. I don’t think you should change your looks though. Young people should look like young people.	②Hi_________, Wearing your hair pulled back in a ponytail（马尾辫）will help keep it out of your mouth. When you feel like chewing something, try bubble gum（泡泡糖）. Give yourself time and you should be able to break this habit. The first few days are usually the hardest. Good luck!	③Hi ________， Don’t worry about it so much! Phone your friend up as usual and she won’t be able to refuse you. I am sure you will get along well with each other. Everything will be fine.
