Even British People Can’t Speak English Properly
There are different regional accents across the UK, and a number of regions have several different dialects, that is, they have their own unique vocabulary and grammatical phrases. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.
Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides their accent. For example, a language and its accents often vary across class or level of education. Another example is how language can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be radically different compared with those used by adults.
Yoof culture
The word ‘yoof’ is a slang spelling of ‘youth’. Some people consider ‘yoof’ to be a negative term, since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than ‘youth’. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts and identity. When people find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things than without censorship(审查，检查) of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. They are creating a ‘yoof culture’.
It is not possible to come up with a complete list of words used by yoof. By the time the list was completed, it would be out of date. New words come and go like fashions. However, a few features of the yoof style of language are as follows:
◆instead of saying something like ‘That’s good!’ or ‘I understand’, yoof will use a single adjective like ‘Safe!’, ‘Sorted!’, ‘Sound!’, ‘Cool!’ or ‘Wicked!’.
◆instead of ‘He then said no!’, yoof will say ‘She was like: no!’
◆Instead of ‘She’s attractive!’, yoof will say ‘She’s fine!’ or ‘She’s fit!’
◆Instead of ‘I don’t care!’, a yoof will say ‘Whatever!’.
New social and political language
Certain groups of society feel threatened by ‘yoof culture’ or by the British working classes having more social freedom. As a result, a negative term now commonly used in the UK is ‘chav’. It is insult and is meant to describe someone who is uneducated and anti-social (e.g. ‘He’s a chav!’). A young person who wears a jacket with a hood(风帽，头巾) (after all, it rains a lot in the UK) is sometimes called a ‘hoodie’. It is a negative term and suggests that the young person is interested in committing crime.
Where does that leave us?
Learners of English often feel that the best test of their English is how well they can talk to a native speaker. Yet learners should not worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research conducted by the British Council shows that 94 per cent of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about ‘international English’, there is no such thing as native or non-native speakers. The UK no longer owns the English language.

The Hong Kong government is set to
overhaul(革新) its
immigration policy with the aim of making it easier for mainland and overseas
talents to live and work in the city. This is a welcome step because it will
remove what is widely seen as a major hurdle to Hong Kong’s efforts to attract
qualified immigrants to help its development.
To sustain the growth of the services
sector, which accounts for nearly 80 percent of Hong Kong’s GDP, it is
necessary to continuously expand the pool of talents in various fields. Efforts
to attract mainland and overseas talents to Hong Kong are taking on special
urgency not only because of fierce competition from other cities, particularly
Singapore, but also the rapidly aging population resulting from years of low or
negative birthrates.
Hong Kong enjoys certain distinct
advantages over many Asian cities in the competition for talents. Beyond its
vibrant economy, underlined by a free market environment, Hong Kong has a
combination of some of the most distinctive elements of Chinese and Western
cultures. Hong Kong is as exciting as many other Asian boomtowns, and yet it is
no less efficient than a typical European city with a much smaller population.
Housing costs are high, but no higher than those in other financial centers.
For international banks and multinational corporations, housing costs are a
concern only when the opportunity to make money begins to dry up. And this
situation is not happening in Hong Kong as the local economy, riding the boom
on the mainland, is rapidly expanding.
It is within this context that the
government takes the lead to revise its immigration policy, which calls for,
among other things, the establishment of a one-stop service center to process
all applications under various migrant schemes. This means that an applicant
will in future need to submit only one form for processing. Other changes to
the policy include the removing of the age restrictions and lowering of
experience requirements. Under the present scoring system used to vet
applicants, those who are older than 50 and those with less than five years of
work experience win no points in their respective categories. The details of
the proposed changes have not been announced. But according to a government
official quoted by the local press, the aim is to broaden the pool of qualified
applicants.

Although the dangers of too little sleep
are widely known, new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also
suffer the consequences(后果).
Researchers at the University of California
in San Diego found that people who sleep 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to
have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other
sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7
hours each night also said they had more trouble in falling asleep and feeling
refreshed（恢复体力）after
a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
These findings, which Dr. Daniel Kriple
reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, shows that people who want to
get a good night’s rest may not need to sleep more than 8 hours each night. He
added that “it might be a good idea ” for people who sleep more than 8 hours
each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but
reminded that research is needed to prove this.
Previous studies have shown the hidden
dangers of lack of sleep for a long time—for instance, one report showed that
people who usually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of
dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
For the current report, Kripke reviewed the
responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires (问卷), in which participants(参与者) indicated how much they
slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep
problems included waking in the middle of the night, waking up early in the
morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and feeling tired with
day-to-day functioning（运转）.
Kripke found that people who slept between
9 and 10 hours each night most probably report experiencing each sleep problem
than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that longer
sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much
time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to deal with insomnia（失眠）is to spend less time in
bed. “It means that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll
spend a higher percentage of time awake,” he said.

Five tips to deal with stress
Stress, the biggest enemy of the modern
world! It kidnaps our peace of mind, tortures our evenings, when we return home
from work and murders those beautiful moments. But like all enemies, this enemy
can also be got rid of!
Put your body in motion.
Moving from the chair to the couch while
watching TV is not being physically active! Physical activity is one of the
most important ways to keep stress away by clearing your head and lifting your
spirits. Physical activity also increases endorphin levels—the natural
“feel-good” chemicals.
Laugh
Some say that laughter is the best
medicine—well, in many cases, it is! Did you know that it takes 15 facial
muscles to laugh? Lots of laughing can make you feel good—and, that good
feeling can stay with you even after the laughter stops. So , head off stress
with regular doses of laughter by watching a funny movie or cartoons, reading a
joke book, or even make up your own riddles…laughter can make you feel like a
new person!
Everyone has those days when they do
something really silly or stupid. Instead of getting upset with yourself, laugh
out loud! No one’s perfect! Life should be about having fun. So , lighten up!
Have fun with friends.
Being with people you like is always a good
way to get rid your stress. Get a group together to go
to the movies, shoot some hoops, or play a
board game—or just hang out and talk. Friends can help
you work through your problems and let you
see the brighter side of things.
Spill （发泄）to someone you trust.
Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up
inside, talk to someone you trust or respect about what’s
Bothering you. It could be a friend , a
parent, someone in your family, or a teacher. Talking out
your problems and seeing them a different
view might help you figure out ways to deal with them.
Just remember, you don’t have to go it
alone!
Lend a hand.
Get involve in an activity that helps
others. It’s almost impossible to feel stressed out when you’re helping someone
else. It’s also a great way to find out about yourself and the special
qualities you never knew you had! Signing up for a service project is a good
idea, but helping others is as easy as saying hello, holding a door, or
volunteering to keep a neighbor’s pet. The feeling you will get from helping
others is greater than you can imagine!
Remember , you’re not alone—everyone has
stresses in their lives…it’s up to you to choose how to deal with them.

It was the perfect weather for leaf
watching, and my housemate Julie and I meant to spend the weekend with our
friends in the North Georgia Mountains.
“Don’t you want to come along?” Julie asked
her 15-year-old son, Mark. “Enjoy the leaves by yourselves,” he told her. “I’ll
be fine staying home by myself.”
Julie and I drove there in my car after
work on Friday. On Saturday morning we hiked along the mountainside and enjoyed
the beautiful colors. All of a sudden, I had terrible feeling. “Go home,” a
voice seemed to urge me. I couldn’t explain it, but I didn’t want to be there
anymore. I just wanted to go home. “Carol, calm down. You’re being silly,”
Julie said. But the urge just got stronger.
“I’ve got to leave,” I said. “If you want
to stay, you can get a ride back with anyone else tomorrow.”
Julie stood up. “No, I’ll go with you,” she
said. We almost didn’t talk during the two-hour trip back. I felt very guilty.
Finally, we reached home. The lights were
on in the house, but something was strange. The windows seemed to be fogged up.
Julie opened the door and smoke poured out. “Mark!” she shouted. “Mark!” We
rushed inside and found him asleep on the sofa. Shaking him awake, Julie
grabbed him. I grabbed the source of the smoke—a pillow too close to the
fireplace. I then took it outside and threw water on it. Mark had built a fire
to keep warm, and some ember(灰烬) had flown out. The whole house could have gone up if we hadn’t
gotten there just then!

Manners
in every country are different. What is polite in China may not be polite
in the United States. These basic rules will help you enjoy Western food with
your American friends.
Always put the napkin (餐巾 ) on your lap first. Before you leave the table, fold your napkin
and put it beside your plate.
Wait until everyone has been served to begin eating. Everyone begins to eat at
the same time. The host or hostess may invite you to start eating before
everyone is served. Some foods may be cold if you wait until everyone is
served. If invited to begin before others are served, wait until three or four
people have been served before starting to eat,
When eating something in a bowl, do not leave the spoon in the bowl. Put
it on the plate under the bowl. Do not slurp (出声地喝) the soup. Do not overfill the spoon. Do
not pick the bowl up to hold it closer to your mouth. When you have finished
your meal, place your knife and fork side by side on the plate. This signals
that you have finished eating.
Sit up straight at the table. Bring the food up to your mouth. Do not
bend down to your plate.
Cut large pieces of meat, potatoes and vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Eat
the pieces one at a time.
When eating noodles, wind (缠) the noodles up on your fork. You may use your spoon to help wind
the noodles around your fork. The noodles on your fork should be eaten in one
bite（一口）. It is very impolite to eat half your
noodles and allow the other half to fall back on your plate.
Do not lean on your arm while eating. You may rest your hand on the edge of the
table.
Some of the rules mentioned here may be somewhat relaxed in informal settings.
The best way to learn good manners is to watch others. Observe the way your
American friends eat. In this way, you won't make mistakes when you are unsure
of what to do.
