【推荐1】Group Swim Lessons
We do not have swimming pools of our own. We teach swim lessons at home and community pools. If you have a pool, we will meet you there and provide you with great swim lessons!
Group swim lessons are lower-cost lessons than private swim lessons. We provide the child with the same great swim instructors and a chance to learn with their friends! Group swim lessons are great for a group of friends around the same age and level as each other. This is because they push each other to be better. If a child is afraid of the water but sees a friend eager for the swim lesson, they tend to take it a little easy and want to try new things.
Group swim lessons are only for kids that are comfortable enough in the water. Kids that are crying, pushing away, or running out of the pool need to have a one-on-one swim lesson.
Here’s How Group Swim Lessons Work
1. Call (888) 617-1234 or email your name, basic swimmer information, and what days and times work for you to info@ swim.com.
2. After we get your swimmer information, we will see which of our swim instructors' schedules fit with your swim lesson availability and then call you back to confirm your first swim lesson!
3. Your swim instructor will bring all the equipment needed in your swim lessons. They will come on the reoccurring days scheduled to get the swimmers to where they need to be.

【推荐3】Being stranded (困住) in the wilderness is a terrifying prospect for anyone, so for those who want to be prepared, then survival training courses could be a great idea. You can learn how to survive in some of the most extreme and unstable conditions. Here are some of the best survival training courses you can find across the USA.
●Bear Grylls Survival — Available in many different countries is this well-known TV personality’s course on survival. This involves a five-day adventure, with two days of intense survival training from Bear. You will then be dropped onto an island for 30 hours to put the skills you just learned to the test.
●BOSS 28-Day Field Survival — Opening back in 1968, this is the most renowned survival school in the world. Participants spend 28 days out in the Utah wilderness with limited supplies and equipment. There are also shorter versions of the course for 7 to 14 day periods as well as courses for kids as well.
●Ancient Pathways — The military uses this survival school for their desert survival training, so you know it’s the real deal. There’s a lot of different classes on offer, from bushcraft to extreme wilderness survival. You can go on these courses from 4 to 14 day periods, and there’s even a knife only survival course too. Then they have a more intensive course available afterwards that takes survival to a whole new level with no food and water.
●Mountain Scout Survival School — For a training course that is quicker (and cheaper as well), the Mountain Scout School offers up one-day training experiences just outside of New York. These are great classes for kids who want to learn more about urban survival. There are also courses on tracking, trapping, fire building and other necessary survival skills that could end up saving your life.

【推荐1】Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality (现实). He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

Canadian English is affected by both British and American English.In the vocabulary there are a lot of the US influences:Canadians use billboard,gas,truck and wrench rather than hoarding,petrol,lorry,and spanner;but on the other hand,they agree with the British in saying blinds,braces,porridge,and tap rather than shades,suspenders,oatmeal,and faucet.
South African English
Since 1994 South Africa has had eleven official languages:English,Afikaans(having developed from Dutch),Zulu,Xhosa and other largely regional African languages.English is the first language of only about 10 percent of the population,but the second language of many others.The English of native Afrikaners has influenced the “standard” English of white South Africans,examples being such informal usages as the affirmative (肯定的)no,as in“—How are you?—No,I’m fine.” and the all-purpose response isit,as in “She had a baby last week,is it?”
Indian English
Together with Hindi,English is used across India,but it can also be a speaker’s first,second,or third language.The grammar of Indian English has many distinguishing features,of which perhaps the best known are the use of the present continuous tense,as in “He is having very much of property.”,and the use of “isn’t it” as an ordinary question tag,“We are meeting tomorrow,isn’t it?” The first example shows another characteristic of the language,which is using in or of in idiomatic phrases.Verbs are also used differently,with speakers often dropping a preposition or object altogether,“I insisted immediate payment”,while double possessives(所有格)—“our these prices”(instead of the British English “these prices of ours”)—are common.

【推荐3】Who wants to learn Chinese? Just about everybody in the world, it seems. The demand for Chinese as a foreign language is growing fast, both in English-speaking countries, such as Britain and the USA, and in other countries like France, where the number of students studying Chinese has increased each year in recent years.
There are a number of reasons for the interest. As China develops economically, opportunities for doing business increase dramatically-and if you know your partner's language, your chances of success increase. But there is also a renewed interest in the culture and traditions of China; the fact that Chinese culture has continued uninterrupted for more than 5,000 years is a source of curiosity and fascination for people in other parts of the world. A third reason is that learning Chinese is, simply, a challenge. With its characters and complicated tone system, most speakers of other languages think Chinese must be incredibly difficult. But is it really so? As one American student says, "The biggest problem about learning Chinese is often fear-sometimes caused by the teacher. I've studied quite a few languages, and none of them are as easy for me as Chinese. The grammar is easy, since sentence order is similar to English-but simpler."
With so much interest in the language, the Chinese government introduced an international exam system-HSK. Established in 1990, the HSK test was initially meant for those learners who regard Chinese as a second or foreign language. Later, it was introduced abroad. By 2016, there are about 980 exam centres in more than 120 countries around the world, with nearly 464,000 candidates taking the exam in 2016. And a spin-off of this is that teaching Chinese as a foreign language offers young Chinese language graduates interesting professional opportunities-and a chance travel across the world.

At your request, I was about to arrange several meetings with your coauthors to discuss revisions to your series of children’s stories, which will be an important part during your stay here. Because of the tight schedule, you will probably have some busy days here. But we will try our best to ensure that you can have a high efficiency. All details are provided below.
