BUNAC currently offers US students and young people work/travel programs to Britain, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Each participating country offers a unique insight into life in a completely new culture and a chance to spend extended time working and traveling overseas. US students can work anywhere in Britain for up to six month at any time during the year and explore the whole of the UK while they are there. Bank HolidayA holiday of national importance such as Christmas or New Year’s Day when banks and some other businesses are closed (altogether there are 8-10 of these per year in the UK) Merrill Lynch International BankA very large international company which specializes in a variety of financial services such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, credit cards, and checking accounts. It has offices in 38 countries.(4) the main idea of the text and each paragraph(5) notes to the text1. I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering the "real world." (Para 1)Shortly after I entered college I made the decision that I should not find a job after graduation. I would first go and live in a foreign country for a while.2. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for "real world" jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. (Para 1) During the last year of my 4 years at college, most of my classmates were looking for jobs and having interviews while I was asking for information about how I could go and work ina foreign country.3. At the early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. (Para 1)When I first asked about the possibility of experiencing living abroad, I didn’t have a specific idea as to where to go and what kind of work to take, and would consider almost anything that looked attractive.4. The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday-a Bank holiday, a national holiday where everything is closed for the day. (Para 3)Bank Holiday is a holiday of national importance such as Christmas or New Year’s Day when banks and some other businesses are closed (altogether there are 8-10 of these per year in the UK)5. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and went through orientation. (Para 3)On the third day I visited the BNUAC office and had a formal process of learning about my new circumstances.6. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get a paycheck soon. (Para 3)I was not sure and thus worried if I could find a job but I needed a job badly because I had very little money left and no easy way to get any.7. It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after 6 months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended. (Para 5)It was easy to make the changes needed to live in London. After staying there for 6 months, I probably visited and did only half of the places and activities I had initially intended.8. Most of my coworkers were British so I feel like I really got to know and learn the British culture through such a huge aspect of a British person's daily life. (Para 6) Living in London where most of my coworkers were English, I felt as though I really got to know and learn about quite a bit about English culture.(6) language points1. adjust to:to make necessary changes in order to make right or make suitable for a particular purpose or situatione.g.Some people from small towns have trouble adjusting to the fast pace of urban life.•After the kids become grown-ups the parents must adjust to having fewer people in the house.2. choose from:to pick out or select (sb. / sth. that one prefers or considers the best, most suitable, etc.) from a number of alternatives.•Students have many different majors to choose from.•Drivers have many different brands of cars to choose from.3. cover:to include (sth.); deal with; travel (a certain distance)•he class covered only half of what the teacher intended•Our trip covered only half of what the tour guide intended.4. experience:v. to suffer, feel, or know n. knowledge or skill which comes from practice rather than from books, or the gaining of it.•I experienced my first British holiday.•You have the chance to gain valuable work experience.•He experienced great difficulty in getting a visa to leave the country.•I know from my own experience how difficult this kind of work can be.5. get to learn / know:become familiar with•After you get to know him, you will find that he’s really quite nice.•You’ll get to know and like the city more after you’ve lived here for a while.6.

Summarize the passageSummary: Leaving home for the first time, either to go to college or for some other reason, can be difficult.

But every day different situations may arise. It’s impossible to have a plan or a rule for every situation. That’s why creativity is also needed. Being away from home may teach some young people to appreciate their parents even more.2. Check the answers of Ex. 12, 13 and 14Section III Write and Produce (2 periods)Step 1 Revision (10mins)Dictation of words and phrases in Passage A and BStep 2 Grammar (35 mins)Consistency of Verb TensesWe use the verb tense to indicate the particular time of an action, event or condition. When we want to describe a number of actions or events, we will use different tenses in a sentence, a paragraph and a whole composition. Necessary changes in verb tense help readers understand the relationships among various events.But if we make unnecessary or inconsistent shifts in tenses, it will cause misunderstanding. Generally, we keep one tense as the main tense and indicate changes of time by changing tenses relative to that primary tense.Step 3 Practical Writing ( 45 mins)Bank Account FormThere are several kinds of accounts available, such as regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit, joint accounts, and trust accounts.Step 4 AssignmentsSuppose you want to open a 6-month individual certificate of deposit by yourself (not jointly or in trust for someone else).

I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad beforeentering the "real world." (Para 1)Shortly after I entered college I made the decision that I should not find a job after graduation. I would first go and live in a foreign country for a while.2. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for "real world"jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. (Para 1)During the last year of my 4 years at college, most of my classmates were looking for jobsand having interviews while I was asking for information about how I could go and work ina foreign country.3. At the early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind ofwork to undertake. (Para 1)When I first asked about the possibility of experiencing living abroad, I didn’t have aspecific idea as to where to go and what kind of work to take, and would consider almostanything that looked attractive.4. The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday-a Bank holiday, a nationalholiday where everything is closed for the day. (Para 3)Bank Holiday is a holiday of national importance such as Christmas or New Year’s Day when banks and some other businesses are closed (altogether there are 8-10 of these per yearin the UK)5. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and went through orientation.(Para 3)On the third day I visited the BNUAC office and had a formal process of learning aboutmy new circumstances.6. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and Ineeded to get a paycheck soon. (Para 3)I was not sure and thus worried if I could find a job but I needed a job badly because Ihad very little money left and no easy way to get any.7. It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after 6 monthsexploring I probably covered only half of what I intended. (Para 5)It was easy to make the changes needed to live in London. After staying there for 6months, I probably visited and did only half of the places and activities I had initiallyintended.8. Most of my coworkers were British so I feel like I really got to know and learn the Britishculture through such a huge aspect of a British person's daily life.
