'Summer Work, Travel' Brings Many Students to US(1/2) ( 本次听写约187词 )


This week, we answer a question from a student in Odessa, Ukraine. Marushka wants to know about a program that lets foreign students work in the United States during their summer vacations. The program is called Summer Work/Travel. The State Department administers it for full-time college or university students who speak English well.



Students come on a J-one exchange visa. They can work for up to four months during their school break. They generally work in service jobs in stores, resorts, hotels, restaurants and amusement parks. But summer internships are also permitted.



"Summer" in this case means summer in the student's country. Those from south of the equator come to the United States during the northern winter. Students cannot work as housekeepers in private homes or be involved in patient care. And they are supposed to be paid the same as Americans.



 Congress created this popular program under a nineteen sixty-one law, the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act. Last year, one hundred fifty thousand students came to the United States this way. Students can do the Summer Work/Travel program more than once.

Applicants Ask Colleges: Why Should I Accept You?　(2/2) ( 本次听写约186词 )



For many families, though, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money. Lately, top schools with lots of money have increased their financial aid, putting pressure on other colleges to do the same.
 
Deciding how many students to accept can be difficult. It involves trying to predict the number of applicants who will decide to attend. Students may not like being put on waiting lists, but mistakes can be costly. Some colleges have had to house new students in hotels because a larger than expected number accepted admission offers.
 

This year, the weak economy has admissions officers nervous that some families may not be able to pay for college as planned. The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student loans.
 

Colleges are also facing changes in the population. The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start going down after this year. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finish high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until two thousand fifteen.
