    　　How do you meet new people, make new friends, or find out about the latest bands?Here in the UK young people have traditionally done their socializing(社交)in bars and clubs．

    　　However, there is a new generation growing up that finds it easier to manage their social lives on the net, using free websites like MySpace, Bebo or MSN Spaces．

    　　The most successful social networking website in the UK is MySpace.com．As of May 2007, MySpace is the world's fourth most popular English-language website, attracting almost 3 million visitors per month．MySpace claims to have 95 million members with 500, 000 new members joining the community each week．

    　　So how has it become so successful?Perhaps its secret is in its simplicity．Each new member can build their own page simply－uploading photos, videos and MP3 files．Then they describe themselves, listing their likes, dislikes, favorite bands, etc．．It's an easy way to hook up with people who share your interests．

    　　While socializing is the key to MySpace's success, love of music is at the heart of the community．Indeed, most aspiring musicians in the UK upload their songs to the site, and with good reason：unsigned artists, Arctic Monkeys and Lilly Allen created such an attraction on the site that they were offered recording contracts and scored number one hits．

    　　Here at learning English we feel that social network sites could be a great place to practice your English．Why not give it a try?You can tell us about your experience by filling in the new comments form at the top of the screen．

    How clean are the nation’s homes?
    According to a survey by CIF, there’s room for improvement all over Britain.
    Love or hate it — cleaning your home is one job you simply can’t ignore（忽视）. But that’s not to say everyone spends the same amount of time or effort on making their places spotless. A new survey by CIF— experts on making tough cleaning jobs easier—— shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven（烤箱）,where you live in the UK it may show how much effort you put into the task.
    BATHROOM
    25% of men have never cleaned the toilet — but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in 10 Welsh men said they never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You’re not alone — a  quarter of a million Brits say the same. 20% of Scots regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.
    KITCHEN
    36% of people in the south-east say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the north-east spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes — especially the kitchen — in sharp contrast to the 49% of Welsh and West Country folk, who put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
    BEDROOM
    18% believe cleaning starts here: that’s the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns. 51% of women in the north-west may be staying in bed and giving their husband a cuddle（拥抱）—as a thank-you for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
    LIVING ROOM
    32% of women in the north-east turn up the stereo to help make the dusting more fun. Almost six in 10 women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.
    SHIFT THE DIRT WITH CIF
    It’s no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half— and no one knows that better than How Clean Is Your house? Presenters Aggie Mackenzie and Kim Woodburn. For solutions（解决办法）to all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF’s top tips:
    ·Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head—give it a quick squirt（喷洒）with CIF bathroom spray once a week.
    ·Stainless steel（不锈钢）tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Qrchid Qxy-Gel-it lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
    ·Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue （烤架）spotlessly clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evenings. Perfect!

    A．tell us the results of a certain survey
    B．advertise a certain product

    Our individual advice sessions are quite informal and tailored to your needs. Your adviser will usually want to talk a bit about how your studies are going generally, and what you would like to discuss. As sessions are quite short, it's useful if you can be prepared by tlunking about this before you arrive. It will be helpful for us if you can bring any marked work that you have, so that we can see what areas of your work markers have commented on.
