3 . For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.

Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

But in America, education reform (改革) programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.

Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.

However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.

7 . Interviews are becoming an increasingly common part of the application process for US universities. Since many Chinese applicants are unable to meet admissions officers in person, some rely on phone or video interviews to connect with recruiters. Software like Skype and FaceTime helps students to bridge the distance.     1    

●     2    

Before the interview, review your experiences fully and be prepared to explain them in vivid detail. In particular, think about what you’ve done outside of academia. Remind yourself why you would be a strong candidate. To improve your storytelling skills, New Oriental Education recommends you remember the “STARS”. It refers to “situation, tasks, actions, result and self”.     3     What situations did you find yourself in? What tasks were you faced with? How did you react, and what was the outcome?

● Master the art of interviewing electronically.

    4     The right clothes can help put you in the mindset of a professional conversation. Also, remember to smile while you are speaking. Experts from Villanova University say it can help improve the tone of your voice. Still, remember to look into your webcam-not at your monitor during the Skype video interviews, as this will stimulate direct eye contact.

● Be thankful and send a thank-you e-mail.

Make sure to write a thank-you e-mail after you finish the interview and address it specifically to the admissions representative.     5     If there is something about the interview that was helpful to you, let your interviewer know. If you share an interest with your interviewer over a book or a band, make sure you mention it in the e-mail. Send it within 24 hours after the interview while it’s still fresh in your mind and your interviewer’s.

A．Be a good storyteller.

B．Think carefully before the interview.

C．Dress professionally, even for phone interviews.

D．Here are some tips while doing long - distance interviews.

E．Most importantly, the e-mail should be kept short and right to the point.

F．These words can help you highlight the most important parts of your resume.

G．Express your interest in the school and thank your interviewer for meeting with you.

If you ask middle school students what they want to be when they grow up, they might want to be a doctor or scientist. But if you ask them     1     more information about these jobs, they might not know much.

A recent study by Chinese Internet company Tencent     2     (suggest) that 60% of middle school students say they have little knowledge of their dream jobs. “In China, many middle school students only get professional information one-sidedly during their     3     (grow),” said researcher Liu Meng.” This gives them wrong     4     (idea) about some job.”
