A study is endless.

The story happened in an eastern university. This is the last day of the final exam. On the steps of a teaching building, a group of senior engineering students are talking about the upcoming exam. They all have confidence on their faces. This is the last exam before graduation, and the graduation ceremony will follow after the exam. Then they went their separate ways.

The conversation turned to work. Some people talk about finding a good job, while others talk about the job they are looking for. Four years of college study gave them confidence and made them feel that they were enough to conquer the world.

The exam before us is just a piece of cake. The teacher said that you can take any books or notes you need, as long as you don't whisper during the exam.

The students walked into the classroom in high spirits. The test papers have been distributed. They all laughed when they saw that there were only five composition questions.

Three hours later, the teacher began to call the roll. The students' previous self-confidence has disappeared, but their faces are full of panic. The teacher faced the whole class with a test paper, and everyone was silent.

She glanced at the anxious faces in front of her eyes and asked, "How many of the five questions were answered?" No one raised their hands. "How many people have finished the fourth track?" Still no one raised their hands. "What about the third lane? What about two? " The students can't sit still any longer. "Such a? Someone must have finished one. " There is still silence in the classroom. The teacher put down the test paper and said, "I expected this."

"I just want you to remember that even if you have completed four years of engineering study, you still have a lot to learn in this field. In fact, these questions that you can't answer are very common in daily life. " She smiled and then said, "You can all pass this course, but remember that although you have graduated from college, your study in your has just begun."

Many years later, I have forgotten the teacher's name, but I firmly remember her teachings.

Looking back on college time

Four years have passed, and this moment has finally arrived. In less than two weeks, I will graduate. Looking back now, I still can't believe how time flies. I still remember the first day I went to class. I looked at the map on the back of the schedule and asked where the teaching building was. Now a senior, I often look at freshmen with envy. Every day I pray that time will stagnate and the next two weeks will pass more slowly. Many people I know can't wait to graduate, but I am just the opposite. I would rather go back in time and relive every day of college life again.

I learned a lot from college life, mostly after class. Sophomore life may be the most unforgettable period of my life. It was in this year that I finally convinced my mother that I had no problem living on campus, and she finally let me go. It was this year that I made some lifelong friends. After many successes and failures, I know myself better. There are various new attempts in my sophomore life, such as camping in the mountains, throwing graffiti poems into newspapers and drawing cartoons for teachers in class.

Walking on the familiar road on campus, I unconsciously fell into deep reflection and memory of the past. I found that I really want to start over and experience the happiness and excitement of college life again. I panic at the thought of graduation. I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I think I still have a lot to learn, but I have to graduate. The world is so big, so many things can happen. For the past four years, I have been surrounded by a safety net. Being a student is always gratifying, so that I can avoid the ruthless reality of the outside world.

I will leave school in less than two weeks, and every time I think about graduation, I feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart. Because I have been a student for as long as I can remember. I feel like I'm avoiding graduation. Whenever people ask me what I plan to do after graduating from college, I want to scream loudly. I wonder what I want to do in the future. I can't even imagine what it would be like to wake up in the morning without class.

In an interview not long ago, someone asked me, "Is this the job you want to do all your life?" I thought the question was ridiculous and almost laughed, but I told the truth anyway. I don't know what the future will be like-who knows what the future will be like? In the past four years, I have changed my mind many times. The idea of doing a job all my life is simply torture.

Walking around the campus at midnight, I realized how much I would miss college life. Every little thing is particularly beautiful, and every little thing makes me realize how wonderful and unique college life is. I will cherish these days forever when I reluctantly close the door of college life.

Second unit

Internet and education

Education plays a very important role in everyone's life. We go to school because we want to know the world around us and broaden our horizons. In the past, the traditional classroom was often a place where teachers and students studied and explored the wonderful world of knowledge together, but now everything has changed. Advanced technology is gradually replacing these interactive activities, bringing us a brand-new way of learning.

Internet is one of the ways. Learning through the Internet is a new way of learning, and many people think it is more effective than traditional teaching methods. With the Internet, schools can develop a large number of learning materials for students to obtain from the Internet at any time. On the Internet, students have many choices for various courses and time periods. So it is no longer a problem for students to complete an education plan. We find that online education provides us with excellent information resources, which saves time and money and is very convenient.

In the past, whenever we needed to find information, we always went to the library and spent hours there looking for the information we needed. Today, we have a library at home, which is open 24 hours a day. From my personal experience as a new mother, I think it is very helpful to use online information. When I look after my children at home, I can still keep in touch with the outside world and search for any educational materials I need. I can also exchange ideas, opinions and information with my classmates at home.

Internet is not only a huge source of information, but also can save our time and money. It is predicted that education in the future will be much cheaper than it is now, because information can be obtained through the Internet. The cost of buying land and building houses, as well as teachers' salaries are increasing, which makes traditional education more expensive than online education. In addition, regular (offline) courses rely heavily on books and other traditional printed materials. However, online education can save thousands of dollars every year by electronically displaying the contents of teachers' lectures, students' notes and homework. At the same time, online education does not need classrooms, because most online courses require students to participate in discussions and group projects by sending emails.

Online classes are also very convenient, because it does not have the objective limitations of time and space like traditional education. First of all, classroom teaching has a limit on the number of students in each class. However, the classroom is not a problem for online education at all, and everyone can receive education online. Students don't have to bother to register their favorite courses. In addition, because there is no time limit, students can do exercises repeatedly as needed.

Education will be promoted more and more on the Internet. Students will have more choices to attend classes. They can easily find their favorite classes, review the teaching content many times and use the teaching materials until they are satisfied. The Internet not only provides us with an interesting opportunity, but also allows us to learn knowledge in a more convenient and economical way. In my opinion, the future network life is inevitable.

B Kelly? Mackey

Kelly from Stilton, Pennsylvania? Mackey never wanted to take a distance education course. She has obtained a diploma in business school, married and has children, and is a paralegal. But since she was paralyzed by a broken cervical vertebra, her life has been changed forever. She was only 27 years old that year.

Over time, Kelly learned to move his fingers and use the computer. With the help of an electric wheelchair, she can manage her daily life. Although this progress is not enough for her to continue her previous career, other opportunities have emerged.

Kelly said, "The accident changed my view of life, because I didn't have a degree, so I immediately began to seek educational opportunities." Most traditional education programs do not allow her to receive education and take care of her growing children. So Kelly chose distance education at Pennsylvania State University.

"Distance learning is very difficult, but my children make it all worthwhile. Although I can't work even if I get a degree for some reasons, I will be a highly educated person. I will set a good example for my children and the knowledge I have learned will be helpful for their future growth. Distance education has turned my life from tragedy to victory. She said: "Distance education has provided me with an opportunity to pursue my own goals and personal work. My education is separated from my disability, my family life and taking care of my children. "

What's wrong with Kelly, Gary? e？ Miller Gary, Assistant Vice President of Distance Education and Director of International Campus? e？ Miller commented, "Kelly's situation is a good example. She told us that distance education has a great influence on the lives of students who can't get education from the traditional campus education plan. "

Distance education and world campus academic consultant Jane? Elam added, "Kelly reminds us of the mission of distance education-we should provide students with high-quality education and experience regardless of their geographical location and living conditions. We have had a great influence on many students who really need education. Kelly is a good example.

Kelly is a successful student. She takes 12 credits every semester. She plans to complete a bachelor's degree in literature, art and science, and then continue to study for a master's degree online.

After graduation, she hopes to work for the disabled, perhaps as a consultant in a rehabilitation institution. Jane? Elam thinks Kelly can undoubtedly achieve this goal.

Kelly is very grateful to her excellent teacher and all the help she has provided to her students, including financial aid, services for the disabled and vocational retraining. Many staff members praised Kelly's excellent performance.

Susan. Wettkes, an English teacher at Pennsylvania State University in Bo Du, said, "Kelly inspired not only other students, but also employees who were lucky enough to know her. She made us realize how meaningful our cause is. " Third unit

Clubs and societies

Parties, drinking, eating-oh, and working-all make time pass, but there are some things that you really want to pursue in your heart, but you can't achieve. My friend, what you have been looking for is the opportunity to join the university club and discover various activities. These groups are full of vitality in a city like Oxford.

Whether you want to keep your existing interest or cultivate a new hobby, you should first go to the freshmen's party of the Oxford University Student Union and see a variety of clubs. Holding a ticket for a freshman party, you can get a brand-new comprehensive guide on all aspects of Oxford University. If you miss the party, don't be discouraged. In the Oxford Catalogue sent to you in the first week, you will see the introductions of various societies. You might as well browse-it's an important opportunity for you to see college life.

People participate in community life to varying degrees. Some people are completely addicted to a club and hardly talk to non-members for the next three years until they become leaders of the organization. The rest prefer to choose flexible ways, join several clubs and participate in any activities they are interested in. There are still many people, maybe a little silly, who completely ignore the existence of university clubs and just stay with the other half in the university.

Clubs give people many opportunities to meet people outside the campus, which is very valuable, especially for liberal arts students. But don't forget, many colleges have their own thriving clubs, and you can join them during freshman week. Music and drama are always very popular, and it is not difficult for interested people to get together and do something. If you are interested in starting a new Shakespeare rap club for your school, you can apply to the university director for registration, and you can also get start-up funds, loans and other benefits.

Especially for the big society, a negative aspect is the students' gains. "Drilling" means that some students seek to improve their status in clubs or societies (usually as chairmen). Some societies, such as the Oxford University Student Club or the Trade Association, always attract people who are more ambitious than others. When students suddenly think of their blank resumes, thinking that resumes will be closely related to whether they can find high-paying jobs in the future, it is almost inevitable to climb up. Again, don't worry: most students don't approve of this kind of self-cultivation behavior. They can face life calmly.

More than 300 societies should be able to find their own place for everyone. All major religions have their own organizations except some political parties and sports clubs with obvious tendencies; From China to Bulgaria, from Scotland to Essex, there are societies keen on the society and culture of different countries or regions. There are clubs keen on volunteers, literature, music, drama and science fiction; There are also various strange organizations, such as the Pudding Association of Margaret Women's College, the Oxford Stunt Association, and the Puhu Card Friends Association. You'll like them.

psychologic equilibrium

In today's real life, it is necessary to keep a psychological balance. In life, the mentality is unbalanced, the work is not done well, and the body and mind are not fully developed. Sometimes people feel dissatisfied and unhappy when their mentality is out of balance in life.

I feel great pressure in my study and work, and I have tried to adjust myself in various ways to reduce the pressure. Finally, I found it a way to make good use of my spare time. Spare time is indispensable to me. Otherwise, I will definitely go crazy. Most of my spare time is spent reading, listening to music, chatting with friends in life, or chatting with people I know online. I really like to find a quiet place outside to read Walter? Whitman and Robert? Frost's poems or works. If I have no time to do it, then I can't do anything else. Listening to music is also very important for me while reading and relaxing. If I am depressed, I will listen to slow songs. If I am happy, I will listen to fast-paced songs. Music is the common language of human beings and can express different emotions. Music touches the soul. To be exact, I think music actually expresses the feelings of the soul.

Friends in life and online friends are all part of my spare time and social life. Friends are always important to me. No matter what I do, they are my pillars. No matter what situation I am in, my good friend always supports me. I can't live a healthy and balanced life without them. Not long ago, I experienced a short period of depression. There is no progress in the work at hand, and I no longer talk to my friends. So after a week, a good friend of mine took me aside and invited me to go out for a walk with her. We talked about my situation, and she helped me analyze what I really wanted to do. I really don't know what would happen to me if she wasn't with me.

Many things help you adjust your mind. Stress is a very dangerous and tiring experience, which is often the beginning of depression and misfortune. But if you are really stressed, you should do something instead of just waiting, such as chatting with friends or listening to music. Then you may feel that you shouldn't be so depressed and haggle over every ounce.

In life, it is very important to keep a balance of mind. If the mentality is out of balance, everyday life will be very difficult. Bold and innovative use of spare time will play a decisive role.

Fourth unit

A work experience of Marcelina

Soon after I entered the university, I made up my mind to stay abroad for a while before entering the "real world". In the fourth grade, most of my classmates were busy interviewing for "real world" jobs, while I was studying how to work in another country. When I first asked, I was very casual about where to go and what to do. I just really want to go abroad, so I can do anything.

It wasn't long before I heard about a plan called "British University Club for North American Students", which seems to be specially designed for students who want to work abroad. It provides work visas for students who are studying or just graduated, so that they can work overseas. Because of the common language and the ease of finding a job, I chose Britain as my choice among six countries.

Two months after graduation, I crossed the Atlantic and spent six weeks traveling all over Europe before I arrived in London. 1On August 24th, 997, I came to London with a work visa, but I didn't have a job or a place to live. I have to admit, it's really scary On the second day of my arrival, I spent my first British holiday-bank holiday. It's a national holiday and all the places are closed. It was not until the third day that I went to the office of the North American Student Club of the British University to get familiar with the situation. In this process, I learned all the details of living and working in Britain. I know how to go shopping, write a British resume, pay taxes, buy health insurance, travel, find a place to live, and most importantly, find a job. My biggest concern is how to find a job, because I have little money left, so I must get my salary as soon as possible.

It turns out that finding a job is as simple as writing a resume The British University Club for North American students is very famous in London, and many employers have joined the scheme. So there are many job opportunities to choose from in many fields. When I was looking for a job, I chose three different employers and faxed my resume and cover letter to them. In the first week, I attended three interviews and accepted my first job opportunity at Merrill Lynch. My office in Merrill Lynch is in a beautiful old building, only two blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people there are friendly and the work is interesting.

It is not difficult to adapt to life in London. Not only that, there are many things worth seeing here. I have been here for six months, and I may have only walked half of the place I planned to go.

Working in London has many advantages. One of them is to be able to blend in with office workers and really appreciate British culture. Most of my colleagues are British, so I really feel that I have learned about British culture through a lot of contact with British daily life. Secondly, it is also economical to live and travel in another country like this, because most of the work is enough for you to pay rent, living expenses and travel expenses. Third, you have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and make your resume look more international.

So far, working in London is the best decision I have ever made. I do not hesitate to recommend it to everyone!

live independently

The first time I decided to leave home was when I was a sophomore. I didn't get along well with my parents at that time. With about one hundred dollars in my pocket, I just want to run away from home. Only three weeks after I left home, I began to feel homesick. Living with parents is completely different from living independently. There are three main reasons for saying that living independently is a completely different experience: more responsibility, more decision-making power and more creativity.

First of all, I understand that living independently requires a sense of responsibility. My parents often assign me some work that I have to finish almost every day. As long as I don't finish the work assigned to me, I will be scolded. But now that I live alone, I must complete my duties, even if no one asks me to do so. Once it is not completed, I will bear the corresponding consequences alone.

For me, another experience of living independently is that now I have more decision-making power. Now that I live alone and my parents are not around, I should be more careful. Now that I am independent, I must make my own decisions. For example, I must make the best decision without hurting anyone's feelings and being influenced by my parents.

Therefore, I become more creative by living independently. I can design my future. I made my own rules to follow. I use woodworking tools to design and make all the furniture in my room. I wrote a lot of songs and kept them in my notebook, waiting to give them to interested singers. This is a good experience for me, because I often think that creativity is the best thing in the world. However, when I am with my parents, I find it difficult to be creative because I always follow their ideas.

In a word, these are the things that will happen when I am with my parents and when I am alone. In addition, I think all people in the world should love their parents, themselves and others first. Everyone should learn to live independently, but at the same time, they should also learn to care for their parents. They should do everything their parents teach them about life. At the same time, we should also use the right of free choice to achieve our expected goals.

Fifth unit

Information desk

When I was very young, I found a magical person living on the phone-"information desk". She knew everything.

The first time I met this person, it was a day when my mother was not at home. I was playing near the tool stool and the hammer hurt my finger. It hurts badly, but no one comes to comfort me I walked around the room, sucking my painful fingers, and finally came to the telephone!

I quickly took off the receiver and put it on my ear. "Information desk?" I said into the microphone. After clicking twice, a small and clear voice rang out in my ear. "Information desk." "I hurt my finger ..." I cried. Because someone listened to me, tears burst out. "isn't mom at home?" "There is no stranger at home except me," I sobbed. "Is it bleeding?" "No, I hurt my finger with a hammer. Very painful. " "Can you open the refrigerator?" She asked. I said, yes. "Then you shovel a small piece of ice and put it on your finger." From then on, I called everything "information desk". I asked her for geography homework or math problems.

When my bird canary died, I told the reception desk the painful news. She tried to comfort me, but I was still sad. I asked her, "Why do birds sing so beautifully that everyone is happy, but in the end they become a pile of feathers at the bottom of the cage?" She must have felt my deep pain, because she said calmly, "Paul, always remember that other worlds can sing." Somehow, I feel much better. Another day, I picked up the phone and asked, "How do you spell gratitude?" It all happened in a small town on the northwest coast of the Pacific Ocean. When I was nine, my family moved to Boston. When I was a teenager, those childhood conversations never really disappeared from my memory. Only then did I realize how patient, considerate and kind she is, and willing to spend time with her children.

A few years later, on my way to college, the plane landed in Seattle. I have a connecting flight time of about half an hour. Without thinking, I called the operator in my hometown and said, "I want the information desk."

A miracle happened, and I heard the familiar small and clear voice, "This is the information desk." I didn't think about it beforehand, but I clearly heard myself saying, "Can you tell me how to spell gratitude?"

No one spoke for a long time. Then someone replied softly, "I think your finger must not hurt now."

I smiled. "It's really still you," I said. "Do you know how important you were to me then?" I told her that I have often thought of her over the years. I asked her if I could call her again. "Of course," she said. "Just ask Sally."

Three months later, I returned to Seattle. A different voice replied, "This is the information desk." I said I wanted to put Sally on the phone. "Are you her friend?" She said. "Yes, an old friend of hers," I replied. I'm sorry to tell you,' she said. "Sally passed away five weeks ago." Just as she was about to hang up, she said, "Wait a minute. You said your name was Paul, right? " "yes." "Oh, Sally left you a message." She said, "Tell him that I still think other worlds can sing. He will understand what I mean. " I said thank you and hung up. I know what Sally means.

Internet-my main source of information

As a resource, the Internet contains a lot of information. It has a wide coverage and convenient access to the Internet, and the amount of information provided is almost endless. As an excellent source of knowledge, the network is leading an "information revolution". Internet has brought great changes to the world, and this change is still going on. If you need the latest information, you have no choice but the Internet.

In the past 12 years, I have been engaged in technical research. At first, software information was obtained from text reference materials, and then from CD-ROM. As a research tool, the emergence of the network has greatly expanded the scope of knowledge acquisition and greatly reduced the time we spend on each job.

I spent most of my time searching for computer technology information on the Internet. I used this information in the Microsoft application class and put forward technical suggestions in my work. After work, I am very interested in many fields of finance, and the Internet has become the main source of information for my hobby.

I can't imagine what life would be like without internet. Although it takes time to filter all kinds of information, after years of use, I find that I can quickly analyze the search results and find the most suitable website. The amount of information on the Internet is unbelievable, so it is important to remember what you are looking for and not stray from the topic.

When you can prove that the information provided on the Internet is accurate, the Internet is a great database. Just like other resources, the network has both good information and bad information. According to the target you are looking for, you can judge for yourself whether these materials are relevant or not. It is important not to believe everything you are looking for, try to avoid personal websites, and try to know who is in charge of the website before accepting the information provided by the website.

The more you use the Internet, the more comfortable you feel and the more you will use it. The Internet can really save you time, so that you can concentrate resources and find useful information when doing research.

Generally speaking, using the internet to obtain information gives us several times the opportunity to improve efficiency. When I find the information but have no time to read it, I will print it out and read it later, or read it on the way to and from work by train. Besides, when I find useful information, I only need a few seconds to share it with my colleagues and other business colleagues. This has enhanced my networking ability, and I can keep in touch with many people who have the same interests in a certain field.

The network provides an excellent method for finding information quickly. It allows users to know the information at the beginning of the research, rather than waiting until the results are published. The network also provides a highly collaborative working environment, through which you can exchange opinions with colleagues at any time.

Network is an excellent way to acquire knowledge conveniently. Through it, you can visit the company's website, send emails to ask questions, study topics, conduct surveys, attend some special seminars and collect information for future analysis. These things don't have to be done in person.

These are coded for the time being, and the rest will be coded later.
