In which areas could businesses and schools cooperate for the benefits of
students?
Well, it would be great if some companies could actually collaborate with some universities to come
directly to the campus in order to introduce their business and present some job opportunities. I
guess that they could directly interview the senior students and offer them a job after graduation. In
addition, companies could cooperate with some college professors to offer different internships to
students. It would be beneficial to everyone: students would get a first practical experience in the
world ofbusiness, and companies could promote their enterprises.

Compare studying alone and studying in a group.
Studying in a group can be beneficial because students can help each other, and also encourage one
another whenever one student might feel tired or bored. It's also more fun to study with others
usually. However, studying in a group can also be a source of distraction: students might start talking
about something else rather than their studies. On the other
hand, when you study alone, it's easier to focus, and you can follow your own pace. In a group, your
friends might go too quickly or too slowly for you.

A Childhood Song You Remember
Tell me about a childhood song you remember.
You should say:
what the song was and where you first heard it
whether it was a popular song
who sang it to you
and explain your feelings when you heard this song.
·
Kindergarten song: "1 picked up one cent of a dollar in the street" = popular
·
Extremely simple: lyrics are short: only 4 verses: meaning?
·
Civic values: being honest + thoughtful + loyal will do you credit
·
Catchy melody= easy to remember + naive but good for kids
·
Eventually, what will the policeman do with the money? If I find a wallet in the street. ..
Let me tell you about a very famous song every kindergarten student in my country learns. It
is a Chinese nursery rhyme so it is always challenging to translate the title but if I give it a shot, it
would be something like "I picked up one cent of a dollar on the sidewalk". Or I guess I should say
one fen of a Chinese yuan, but then it would be too long for my title.
The song sounds amusing, and the lyrics are very simple. There are only 4 verses to it, so it is
easy for kids to remember. I'm obviously not going to sing it, but it goes pretty much like this: I
found one cent in the street, and I picked it up. I gave it to the policeman standing at the crossroad.
He saluted me, and I cheerfully said good bye to him. In Chinese, it rhymes. It's very straightforward
(= simple), isn't it?
I think it's a great song for kids because it teaches everyone civic values. I think it's essential
for people to be honest, and loyal in daily life. When you find a wallet, or a phone, or an ID card in
the street, you should return it to the owner. I believe that being thoughtful and sincere will always
do you credit.
This nursery rhyme is really catchy. The melody is very lively and enthusiastic, although it
sounds a bit naive and simplistic. But for kids, it's alright. Actually, because the song is so famous,
many older people sing it together during school reunions or other get-togethers at karaoke.
Now, on a side note, I wonder what the policeman is going to do with the money the child gave
him. Is the policeman going to put up with all the paper work it must take to find the owner of the
money? Probably not, the cop (= policeman) might just pocket the cash or throw it away again in
order to avoid any hassle (= bother = problem). I am wondering: if I found 100 yuan in the street,
would I bring it to the police? Or should I give it to a beggar in the street?
