Ladies and gentlemen,

I’m Li Hua. Today, I’m greatly honored to speak here on behalf of my school. I’m going to talk about the high school education of my city.

From chart 1, we can see high school students are from different family backgrounds. Besides local students, who make up 91%, eight percent of the students are the children of non-local workers. There are even I percent of foreign students.

According to chart 2, the students’ choices after graduation have presented a wider variety. 60%of them intend to go to university. 30% choose to enter vocational schools, and the rest ten percent plan to go abroad for further studies.

①I think, we have more freedom to choose what we would like to do after graduation. Going to college is no longer the only choice for most of us as it was years ago.

②I think, our city government has made more effort to help the non-local workers. For example, their children can enjoy the equal right of a good education with the local city students.

③I think, with the economic development of our city, more foreigners are attracted to set up business and they are happy to send their children to local schools to learn more about China and Chinese cultures.

I believe the future of education in our city is promising

That’s all . Thank you.

KEYS TO UNIT9-10

America's latest strategy (对策)for single persons who don't want to be single any longer has many names: speed-dating, express-date, 10-minute-dating or simply mini-date.

　　 The principle is the same: Why spend an 　31　 　evening with a stranger 　32　 　you realize after only the first few minutes that you can't 　33　 　the person?

　 The solution: The man and woman sit down 　34　 　each other. A bell is sounded, and in the next 7 to 10 minutes each one tries to find out as much as possible about the 　35　 　person. When the bell 　36　 　off a second time, the man stands up and moves 　37　 to the next female.

　　 At such a meeting in San Francisco 　38　 　, some 200 men and women between the ages of 30 and 60 had a 　39　 expression on their faces, in two long 　40　 opposite each other. The signal was given, and then almost everybody started 　41　 away.

　　 Richard Gosse,　 　42　 　of "AMERICAN SINGLES", says this is the fastest, most effective and at the moment "　 43　 " way to search for a partner. Minute-date has become a　 44　 everywhere from computer fans in Silicon Valley to young people in San Francisco to the suburbs of Chicago. Gosse says the quick method to get to know each other is helpful above all for　 45　 singles who are not brave enough to speak to a stranger in a bar.

　　 His　 46　 : Don't talk about money, your weight or about your former partner, but 　47 　about your dreams, desires and hobbies.

　　 Most speed-dating meetings cost about US $25 per evening, 　48　 a person to get to know 15 to 20 people 　49　 the opposite sex. Speed-dating is so much in demand in America that most meetings are　 50　 　out weeks and months in advance.
