On every measure, Britain is an expensive place to study. Tuition fees(学费) in the UK have now reached £ 9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world. Fortunately there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programmes entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options broken down in detail.
University of Amsterdam
The Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of £ 1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree at £ 37,400 for three years all in. There are 14 bachelor’s degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.
Tianjin University
Moving to China is not for the faint-hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years,
but the total cost, at £ 28,800, is still around half the cost of a three-year degree in Britain. Living costs are only around £ 400 a month and tuition fees are £ 2,300 a year. Flights will cost £ 3,600 over the four years. Tianjin is one of the world’s latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programmes are offered in English：Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.
University of Milan
The University of Milan’s fees range from £ 140 to £3,650 a year. The one bachelor’s degree offered entirely in English--Political Sciences--is a three-year course. While living costs in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.

Today I’d like to introduce you to Chinese knots. In China, it is a long history of using knots for decoration. Culturally they are expected to keeping off evil spirits. Associated with symbolic meanings, knots are also used gifts.
One major characteristic of decorative knotwork is that all the knots is tied by using one piece of thread, which is usually about one meter in the length. However, finishing knots look the same from both the front or back. They can come in a variety of color, though the most common used color is red. This is why it symbolizes good luck and prosperity.

Facebook will no longer use facial recognition to let users automatically identify their friends in photographs uploaded to its site after America’s consumer watchdog called the practice “deceptive” (欺 骗性的).Facebook had used technology called Deep Face to scan the millions of pictures uploaded to its site each day in search of faces it recognized. 1.
This, Facebook boasted, enabled it to hold the “largest facial dataset to date” - a trove of information built up as its 2. 4 billion users uploaded hundreds of pictures of people at different times in their lives, from different angles, in different clothes and hairstyles.
2. - unless they request it - and will give existing users the option to turn it off. The Federal Trade Commission, which protects consumer rights in America, described the technology as deceptive to tens of millions of users”. It said that Facebook must obtain “ affirmative express user content” before enabling it.
Facebook also used the facial recognition feature to alert a user if a picture of them had been uploaded on to the site. 3.
Srinivas Narayanan, the head of artificial intelligence applied research at Facebook, said: 4., but we won’t recommend you to be tagged (加标签)if you do not have face recognition turned on.”
“We don’t share your face recognition information with third parties. 5..” It also emerged this week that Facebook began experimenting with hiding the amount of “likes” a person gets for their posts. Some users can develop a fixation with getting as many likes as possible and feel inadequate if they gain fewer than their friends.
A.We also don’t sell our technology
B.People will still be able to manually tag friends
C.Scanning ability of Facebook is criticized by the public
D.We appeal to the users to use the technology in a secret way
E.However, the feature is now being switched off for all new users
F.It then offered users the ability to “tag” that person with their name
G.It allowed people to check if someone was trying to use their identity in a wrong way
