Experts analyzed how language can impact children's lives and the role it plays in everyday life.They also determined which languages tend to lead to the best career opportunities as an adult. "We believe that language learning is hugely beneficial for children's development and it's a real investment for the future," said Antonella Sorace,professor of developmental Inguistics and director of offinguatlsm matters at Edinburgh University.The study involved a survey of 2,001 parents with children under the age of 18,along with another survey of more than 500 business leaders.
So which languages took the top spot?Results indicated that children should be learning French,German,and/or Mandarin if they want to be successful within the next ten years.Proficiency in a second language opens the door to new markets for businesses and allows them to create new relationships with prospective partners.Aside from being able to speak another language,the academic and interpersonal skills that can be gained from learning a new language are important as well."Children who are exposed different languages become more aware of different cultures,other people,and other points of view.They also tend to be better than monolinguals at multitasking and are often more advanced readers,said Sorace.
A vast majority of parents surveyed in this study (85 percent) believe it,is important for their children to learn a second language,and about one in four believe it will enhance their child's career opportunities and boost employability.The future employment market are in need of space tour guide,robot coach,frontline e-commerce worker,nurse practitioner etc.No matter what a child choose to be,multilinguals and cross-culture talents will probably stand a good chance to take the lead.However,45 percent of parents surveyed admit that their child or children cannot speak a second language.
If you want your child to stand out from the crowd,brush up on the habits of parents of successful people—give children chores,set high but realistic expectations,get yourself educated,make time for bonding,accept and recognize their feelings—and,of course,make sure they learn one of the three success languages!

2.Sure,it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes,it's good to get along well with your teacher because,in general,it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
In fact,kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more,but they're more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher,he or she can be someone to turn to with problems,such as problems with learning or school issues.
Here is a question:what if you don't get along well with your teachers?In fact,teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(個(gè)性沖突),which can happen between any two people.If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better,he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.By dealing with a problem like this,you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However,if a certain teacher isn't your favorite,you can still have a successful relationship with him or her,especially_____.Here are some of those responsibilities:
?Attend class ready to learn.

3.Suppose you're in a rush,felling tired,not paying attention to your screen,and you send an email that could get you in trouble.
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send".You freeze in horror and bum with shame.
What to do?Here are four common email accidents,and how to recover.
Clicking "send" too soon
Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet.Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice,the better.Respond quickly and briefly,apologising for your mistake.Keep the tone measured:don't handle it too lightly,as people can be offended,especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture (i.e.incorrect ordering of Chinese names).
Clicking "reply all" unintentionally
You accidentally reveal(透露)to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner,or what holiday you'd like to take.In this instance,the best solution is to send a quick,light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness.But it can quickly rise to something worse,when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation.In this instance,step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger.You write an unkind message about someone,intending to send it to a friend,but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing.In that case,ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry.Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly -see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.
(1)After realizing an email accident,you are likely to feel
A.curious
B.tired
C.a(chǎn)wful
D.funny
(2)If you have written the wrong name in an email,it is best to
A.a(chǎn)pologise in a serious manner
B.tell the receiver to ignore the error
C.learn to write the name correctly
D.send a short notice to everyone
(3)What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email?
