Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet.

I think most of us love animals because they have feelings, and we’re aware of these feelings when we interact with them; we don’t tend to form especially close relationships with lifeless objects or even plant. Animal emotions attract us --- the unbounded joy, the bitter grief and their zest for life. Learning about animal emotions should also help us learn more about ourselves.VI. writing（10）Suppose you have just graduated from Liaoning Vocational College, you see an ads which want a sale manager to sell computer products in Liaoning Daily, you must meet the following requirements; (English A, computer skill, MS office, 2–year experience, social relationship, etc.)write and letter of job vacancy in the name of Wang li.(假设你是一个刚从辽宁职业学院毕业的学生，你在辽宁日报上看到一条招聘计算机销售经理的招聘启示，需要满足如下一些条件，如，英语A级，电脑，办公软件，人际能力，等。
