Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English. Is it good to study in Britain or in your own country?
The advantage of going to Britain seem obvious. You will listen to the language all the time, surround completely by the language wherever you go and don’t have to speak English if you are with the local people. In China, there is always possible to speak Chinese in class and the learn is slower.
On the one hand, there are also advantages of studying home. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. Besides, it’s much cheaper than going to Britain.
In my view, to most people with enough money, being at home is their only option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximize our opportunities: speaking only English in class and using English whenever possible outside the class.

Fear of Puberty(青春期)
When young people get to puberty, it causes the physical and mental changes that can bring stress and even fear to them. 1
Consider how often you worry about it. If it regularly happens more than twice a day, it’s time that you started taking the problem seriously. You should look out for feelings of panic when you think about puberty. You may have frequent stressful dreams or feel depressed when you notice changes in your body. 2 By identifying them, you can start to do something about them.

Besides parents, teachers and school medical staff, there are a number of other places where you can seek help. ____8___ Your doctor can provide support on body issues and you can insist on seeing the doctor alone if that makes it easier.

Would You Pay To Eat In A Dumpster(垃圾箱)?
Most of us don’t reach for that gnarled(多瘤的) carrot when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the "ugly food" movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.
One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.
Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring about the awareness of America’s food waste problem. "There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste," he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.
Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A change.org petition last year called for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.
Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called "Real Good", but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had "some challenges sourcing the product". A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.
This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.
