A special report on ageing populations
China’s predicament
Jun 25th 2009 ECONOMIST
Getting old before getting rich
THE Beijing Ren Ai Geracomium is set in a drab, dusty village just outside the Chinese capital. Grouped round a pleasant garden, this old people’s home for about 80 residents, aged from 50 to 96, is unusual in several respects. Its private owner is a Christian, and the home has a small chapel where the handful of Christian residents, along with other people of that faith living in the area, gather for Sunday services. The home is run as a commercial enterprise, but Hu Wenru, its deputy director, says that since it opened three years ago it has been only gradually building up business and is not yet making a profit. Still, the owner is already pr

Hi guys, it's been a long time!
During this time of teaching, I found out that many of you guys r pretty frustrated on your way to the IELTS.
To some degress, it is kind of a culture issue, coz in North America, youny people usually r pretty confident, and I wanna tell you that, not only in contests, but also in the real life, confidence is pretty enssential, just like Kobe said, if you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will.
So, Just treat IELTS as a game, and tell youselves, I love this game!
You can make it!
很多我的学生都是篮球爱好者,除了平时喜欢自己打以外,他们谈论最多的莫过于NBA了.这点从雅思口语就不难发现,一旦问到男生的爱好hobbies时,百分之九十的同学会毫不犹豫的回答:I'm crzzy about NBA matches!
很多同学(尤其是要去美国和加拿大的)都在问我,要怎么才能去现场看到NBA呢?
今天我就为大家详细的介绍一下.
首先大家一定要知道一个网站:http://www.ticketmaster.com/
登陆后点SPORTS-Leagues-NBA,然后点击你喜欢的球队,就会出现一个Calendar,之后你就可以选择比赛日期了.支付的手段是信用卡credit card,建议大家最好有一张VISA或Master卡.票会在1-2个星期内邮寄过来,没有邮寄费,而如果需要加急express,可能会收十刀.加急会在三天内到.但是加急比较麻烦的是你必须在家签收,否则就要自己去邮局取了.而普通邮件则不需要.
因为北美通常是地广人稀,所以网上定票是十分方便的,尤其是对于住在小城市的同学们.这个网站上不仅有你喜欢的NBA球队的球票,还有各种演出和演唱会的门票,而且价格便宜!通常来说座位靠后的也就是30到50刀左右.当然
雅思口语的第一部分其实就是一个 warm up 的过程,考官在这一环节中会问很多你非常熟悉的问题.但是不并不是说这一部分的内容就不重要.
要知道,想要玩好雅思口语考试,开始是很关键的,万事开头难吗!首先大家要做的是放松下来,暂且把雅思考官(interviewers)当作你的倾诉对象好了.更要注意的一点是,不要以为一个词一个词的说很酷,要知道这样考官是无从下手评分的,至少我们要表现出交流的意愿吧,大家不妨想象一下,你是更愿意和一个话很多的人说话呢还是愿意跟一个沉默寡言的人说话呢?
大家可以想象以下,如果在火车上碰到一个陌生人,你问他从哪里来的,他只冷冰冰的回答两个字,北京。对话十有八九是进行不下去的,因为他向你传达的信息是没有想和他说
