托福口语提升：这样练你也能轻松提高口语水平
很多同学备考托福口语的经历都是非常枯燥的，但其实口语练习本身应该是一件特别有趣的事情，不是吗。下面小编就和大家分享托福口语提升：这样练你也能轻松提高口语水平，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。
托福口语提升：这样练你也能轻松提高口语水平
因为托福口语考试的特殊性(机考)，所以每个人不论英语基础好坏都需要备考口语，基础好的要适应题型和答题时间，基础差的要从根本上提升口语能力。接下来，小站君来给大家讲讲如何练习托福口语。
一. 自己练
听到“自己练”三个字，很多同学可能就油然而生一种枯燥感，想起来自己面壁思过式的对着墙背范文，重复不断地对着录音筒录音……但是，口语练习大可不必如此。首先，你是自由的，练习的地点由你定;其次，话题是开放的，由你选，可以选一些自己感兴趣的话题，看到就想去说的话题;最后，一个人练习的时候还可以避免尴尬，没有人会因为你发音不准嘲笑你。
所以，自己练口语怎么练呢?选择自己觉得舒服的地点，比如在家里，在自己的卧室里，操场上等等，然后选择自己感兴趣的话题(尽量在托福考试的主题范围内)去练习。最后，来说说练习的模式，练习模式还是要遵循常规模式，练习录音-对比。练习的时候一定不要让自己对口语产生厌烦感，周围的环境和练习的话题都会对此产生影响。
二. 找老师练
找老师练习效果是很高的，老师可以及时给你纠错，并针对你的问题给出建议。找老师练习最好能找一对一，教你的时候更加专注。老师比你更了解托福口语考试，而且口语的水平要比你高出许多，会让你的练习效率更高。
三. 找小组练
考托福的小伙伴有很多，自己练习的差不多了可以去找一些托福学习小组共同提高。一个人练习的时候没有互动，可能会让你感觉你学英语不是为了交流只是为了应付考试。小组练习就能将学到的英语用于交流。小组成员之间也可以互相进行角色扮演，给对方出口语题，听对方的答案，然后给出建议。这样互相督促的学习方式会让你的口语备考妙趣横生，也能督促你更加积极地备考。
四. 通过跟native speaker交流来练习
如果在上海北京等大城市的话，有很多英语为母语的人，不要害羞多去交流。如果身边没有这样的资源，可以通过社交软件来跟native speaker交流，但是交流的时候尽量用语音交流。其实托福口语考试的终极目的就是为了让你在出国留学时与人交流没有障碍，所以这样的练习是最为贴近实际的，也能让你感觉到你学的英语是非常有用的，激发你的学习欲望。

Is It Good for Students to Have Part-time Jobs?
Text
School Part-timers
More and more high school students in Beijing are turning their minds to ways of making money.
They are capitalizing on opportunities such as one group of students who went to the front gate of the Children’s Centre in the East District of Beijing when a film studio was there conducting auditions(1).
The group sold the young hopefuls(2) application forms at five fen a piece after getting the forms from the center for free.
Young entrepreneurs are also capitalizing on high demand commodities not always available away from the big shopping centres(3). Birthday or greeting cards are an example. One department store estimated that 80 per cent of its sales of cards are to students for resale.
Xia Li, a junior high school student at Fengtai District in the southwest region of the capital, spent 40 yuan buying cards from downtown shops just before the last Spring Festival.
She sold them at her school and schools nearby at prices 15 to 20 per cent higher than what she had paid. In a month, she earned 100 yuan, representing a 250 per cent return on her initial investment.
A senior high school student who had been selling cards has now become an amateur wholesale dealer(4). His wholesale price is 8 per cent higher than his purchasing price and 10 per cent lower than the retail price(5). Within two months, the had earned several hundred yuan in profits.
Many students have merged their activities to avoid price wars.(6) For example, in an area with few State-owned shops and far from the city center, student union heads from the schools there have reached an agreement on card prices. The agreement says prices may be higher than at the downtown shops but lower than at the peddlers’ stalls.
Card-selling is just a beginning. Some students turn their eyes to other more profitable ventures.
Take one senior high school sophomore who has developed a flourishing business selling photos of famous people. He even has his own name card that reads: The High School Student Corporation Ltd of Exploitation of New Technology(7).
The student carries a portfolio(8) of the photos around with him in an album to show his young customers. He offers a wide variety of photos, from American movie star Sylvester Stallone in Rambo pose to Taiwan’s famous singer Qi Qin(9).
"These all depend on my high quality camera," he boasts and explains how he clopped the pictures from magazines, photographed them and then developed the prints into various sizes. He has sold hundreds. Another student is mow an amateur salesman for a company and earns a three per cent commission(10) on each sale.
When he had earned 300 yuan through his own efforts, he said, "I feel that I have really become an adult."

Should the Brain Drain Be Stopped by Restrictions?
Text
Brain Drain(1)
It is said that Shanghai’s musicians abroad could form a world class symphony orchestra(2).
But the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra once failed to find a qualified conductor for a whole year!
A similar situation exists in science, medicine and sports circles.
Stopping the outflow of talent depends on creating a sound domestic environment rather than simply setting up barriers for those who wish to go abroad.
A handful of people go abroad to seek a comfortable life. But most Chinese intellectuals emigrate because they cannot bring their talent into full play in their motherland.
Many conductors trained by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music(3) have gone abroad either because they cannot find jobs in symphony orchestras due to the competition fro places, or because they cannot develop themselves in orchestras where promotion comes only by way of seniority.
We face a keen shortage of talent, but one batch of gifted people after another have gone abroad(4). The situation is grim.
It is impossible to improve the conditions for all intellectuals by a wide margin(5). But it is possible for governments at all levels to create a better environment for their development.
The outflow of talent is a loss to our nation as well as a pressure forcing us to optimize the environment (6) for the talented.
