A:礼仪方面嘛，注意一点还是不会有啥问题的，找人稍微教一下就行了。思维嘛，就是外国人比较强调个人主义，自由；而我们比较喜欢群居；例如西方人认为很多事情自己就可以干完了，去超市，医院啥的。Thinking mode , the western culture emphasize the freedom, individualism. On the contrary, we Chinese like to

B:是呀，这样不利于提高我的语言水平啊，应该要多注意注意。对了，我还挺担心我过去被影响太多，回国就不习惯了，你看现在中国的传统节日都被淡化了，前几天的圣诞节都玩疯了

I learn from this , well, I am worried that I will be affected too much , you see some traditional customs of China have been affected by foreign cultures, 3 days ago , the Christmas make the people crazy.

A:放轻松，没事，你看我不是好好的么。我倒不觉得是外国节日影响我们传统节日，而是商业手段宣传的影响。不管怎么说，可以吸收精华，去其糟粕啊

When a couple live in a same place, kinds of contradictions will come out, it’s not easy to maintain a happy marriage!

A: 是的，两个人在一起是要宽容的，相互体谅，多多交流，然后因爱改变。然后可以适时的营造小浪漫，故地重游社么的

Maybe, the couple married because of love, but they did not know how to maintain a happy marriage. It is vital of importance.It needs communication, honesty, understanding, commitment and so on. It is really a skill. You two have to manage well your marriage, sometimes , show your lover surprise and romance

2. Economics

①What should the government do when so many college graduates are facing employment problem?

Should we stop college enrollment expansion? Why or why not?

③Why do we need to reform "hukou" policy? Is it the time to put an end to the policy?

角色扮演：两个找工作的人

A:今年就业形势严峻啊，你看我们大一级的研究生才签约了一半的人，再我们学院都这样了，想想那天去的招聘会人山人海啊

Oh my resume has been refused six times by several company, ai it’s hard to find a suitable job.

The same problem occur in our institute .

B:是啊，现在就业问题的确是个大问题，政府是需要负一定的责任啊，你觉得我们就业问题是因为啥呢Well that is really a big problem.As we all know, the employment problem is caused by many reasons. I think, the government should take measures in many aspects.

A:我觉得可能是扩招的问题，

Yeah ,I think the most important thing is that the government should reform the college education . Because there are so many graduates in China every year, but the society don’t need so many employees.

B: 还有一个是现在媒体倡导的方向，是啊，你说企业凭什么给一个新人这么好的待遇呢，很多人出来之后期望和实际的落差太大。政府应该要规范媒体倡导，三十六行，行行出状元，不要盲目崇拜那些像马云，李开复那样的成果学

并不是因为没有工作，而且现在的人对工作太挑了，

And the media also have responsibility. It makes blind. And too much people idolize these businessman , such as mayun,likaifu. Everyone want to find a perfect job, high social position, good working environment, easy working task, and satisfied salary.

A:对啊，任何行业做精做深了，你想要的东西都会有的吃不得苦，想要社会地位高，工作环境好，工作轻松，还要工资高的，期望太高了

。但是你看现在教育的扩招导致我们很难在某一方面有深入了解

Well,when you insist on working in a area for several years and become a expert. Everything you want will obtain. But the college enrollment expansion stand in way ,so that we rarely put ourselves into the research

B:对啊，虽然，但是人多，资源少，人多，更多人不珍惜教育的机会，不珍惜教育机会，肯定会影响对知识的投入，扩招真是个大问题，真应该要停止扩招了

expansion can make more students have the opportunities to accept high education.

But , more student , available school resource become less. More students , more people don’t value the opportunity. We should stop the college enrollment expansion

A:当年，政府扩招为了扫盲，才扩招的。但是现在形势变了，社会分工更加明确，在每个岗位都需要人，扩招会导致学生往比较窄的地方扎堆，抢几个看似很好的工作

Primally ,the government take this measure to reduce the rate of illiteracy. Now ,it many people can choose to learn practice skills instead of staying in the college.

B:是啊，现在很多大学生的工资，都不比些农民工的工资高，虽然不做太多体力活，但是工作时间加班时间也差不多要一天10小时

Yes, a lot of graduated student have lower salary that the rural labourer. Though, they don’t need to pay too much physical power, but it have many working overtime

A:说到这，我就想到，户口问题啊，现在中国的儿童教育问题是牵扯到户口的，像很多农民工没有固定的工作，所以他们的下一代很难在城市上学，即使上学也要交纳很重的建校费之类的东西

Oh, it happen to my mind ,the problem of houkou. The hukou policy influence enormously the education of kids, especially , the children of rural laborer , hard to get school education in city.

B:对，在户口上的确中国耗费了很大的人力物力，也让很多人感觉到手续很复杂，但是也是国情问题，如果太容易迁移，会造成中国人口分布的严重不均衡，大多数人都往沿海发达城市了，土地荒废，发达地区资源严重匮乏等很多问题就暴露出来了

En , Chinese government put lots of manual labour, money, materiel into the policy of “hukou”,it also has complex procedures. But personally, the policy of “hukou” is necessary . considering the national condition , if migration is convenient, I believe more people choose to live in the coastal city, at that time It will cause more problem , such as soil waste.
