　　Host family accommodation, or living with host families, remains popular among language travel students for its advantages．These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have something to worry about．

　　Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living．Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster．Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture．Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive．It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost．

　　The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying．On one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point．The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cites, now generally single and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice．One the other hand, students' expectations have risen．They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries．

　　To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service．They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers．They are also providing students with structured family activities．

　　It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students．

　　Team Building Means More Than Throwing a Few People Together

　　“Teamworking” is found every where within just about every organization．You can't get away from “teams” that are supposed to be able to create some thing that is greater that the sum of in parts, Or so the theory goes．

　　There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most our of a tram;

1．________

　　There must be aclear reason for the team to exist．And all the members should realise the value and significance of what they are going to do．What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keeep thet motivationg alive．What is more, they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process．

2．________

　　Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticired, and they must have the feeling that ther suggestions will be taken serously．This is an imporant point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues．For example, it may discuse a sensitive topic．Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on and frank discussion is required．

3．________

　　It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones．This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense-people that have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions．

4．________

　　Disagreement are natural and, in fact, debate and iscussion should be encouraeed A team made up only of“yes men” can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with in the first place．Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled．For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for adiscussiong that involves only two people, so”under-the-table”method may be effective．

5．________

　　Most high-performing terams are well orgaized, A good organizer should be able to play to individuals'strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses．It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve．He must, above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to oten coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went．

　　Team building isn't as simple as just throwing a ewople together, It requires much more．but Most essential, Sunnssful, working is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members compleates his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride．

　　Effective reading should adopt(采纳)a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less．Here are some hints(建议)for reading effectively．

　　　　1　　

　　Don't choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read．A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly．To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary．A too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help．The two extremes may at last make you give up reading．So it's better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page．

　　　　2　　

　　If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary at once．Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the test．This ability is quiet necessary in reading．If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well encouraged．If a word really prevents you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then．I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image” ．

　　　　3　　

　　To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas．Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive．This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors．Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing．

　　　　4　　

　　Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English．Don't merely take English as a “test” ．Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning．Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like．Try to read them as loudly and impassionedly(充满激情地)as you can．During this process, not only can you enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writes, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved．

　　　　5　　

　　The last but not the least, keep on reading．If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining．
