4 . If you always dream of traveling around the world but would rather not give up your education, then why not combine (结合) the two? Numbers of people are now studying abroad, getting once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences in different places and preparing for a better future. You can choose to spend a week away, or a summer, or even a year. You can go to Spain. Or you can keep things simple by studying in an English-speaking country like Canada or Australia. There are so many options (选项) for you.

Just a few tens of years ago, the options for studying abroad were few and far between. Today the marketplace is positively crowded, so much so that it’s difficult to know where to start. On the upside, this means you’re the master of your own future. So, if you’re serious about studying abroad, it’s time to get planning.

Studying abroad can also be expensive. Besides the cost of the actual education you receive, there are also other costs you need to think about—from flights and accommodation to food and sightseeing. “Eighty percent of American high school teens say they want to travel, but only 1 to 3 percent of them actually do it,” says Samantha Martin. “And we know finances (资金) are a huge part of the problem.” Last year, Samantha and her workmate Jennifer Thomas started Project Travel, a specialist website, to help more students “get on the plane or bus”. Students can ask for help with finances on the website for study, volunteer work, teaching and other types of educational travel. This type of method isn’t suitable for everyone, but there are other methods you can explore if you want to reduce the overall cost of studying abroad.

These are tricky problems you have to deal with, but program advisors, lecturers, fellow students, friends and parents can all give advice and help you find a “study abroad” program that fit s with your goals, your finances and, just as importantly, your personal interests.

7 . One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement. “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.

However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming.
