Reading passage 2
Living Expenses--A Guide for Overseas Students
1 In the mid-1990s it is estimated that a student living alone requires on average $12,000 in living expenses for each year of study. Of course, these costs increase with time.
2 Upon arrival, students should have funds in excess of the average to cover the cost of textbooks and establishment expenses such as rental bond payment and basic furniture items. The amount spent on food, recreation, and entertainment expenses will vary according to requirements, budget, and location.
3 Those who are prepared to live in shared accommodation, which may not be suitable for all, might manage on $10,000 per year. It is preferable for overseas students whose English is in need of practice to take advantage of live-in situations with native-speakers whenever possible. However, sharing with friends who are easy to communicate with is probably more sensible at first.
4 The above figures do not include the cost of large non-essential items such as household equipment or a car. Owning and maintaining a motor vehicle is expensive in Australia. Insurance is compulsory and costly, and parking both on and of campus can be a problem requiring additional expense. It is not advisable for a student to own a car unless it is absolutely necessary. A reasonable second-hand car can cost in excess of $4000
5 Educational institutions are almost always serviced by reliable public transport. The university and college campuses within the major cities are well served by public busses. In addition, the larger cities have extensive train systems. For example, in Sydney, most college and university campuses are only 10 or 20 minutes from a rail station.
6 The summer vacation requires special financial planning. Expenses for this period must be carefully estimated and added to costs for the academic year in order to give a realistic total figure for the calendar year. They are not included in the estimated $10,000-$12,000 previously quoted. University eating facilities, and some university and college housing facilities, close during this time. As a general rule, international students should expect to spend at least as much on monthly living expenses during the summer as they do during the academic year.
7 Under present immigration regulations, international students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during term time and full-time during vacation. It is impossible for students to expect to
earn sufficient funds working part-time to pay for tuition fees and living costs. While some students are able to supplement their funds with money from part-time and/or vacation work, such work is not always regular even when available, and this can contribute to anxiety and study problems. In general, it is uealistic to start a course with insufficient funds in the hope that "something will turn up". Students should be aware that vacation work has become more difficult to find over the last few years, but those interested can contact the Commonwealth Employment Service or the Students' Union on campus.
8 Warm clothes are necessary in the southern States during winter months, as night temperatures can drop to less than 10 degrees Celsius. Students should bring as much clothing from home as possible, especially if funds are limited. Information on where to buy inexpensive clothes can be obtained from the International Student Centre of most colleges and universities.
9 Do not rush into buying expensive textbooks. It is advisable to wait until your first lectures and tutorials, and then ask academic staff which are the essential purchases. There is usually a second-hand bookshop on campus, and used texts are also advertised on faculty notice boards. 10 The Students' Union coordinates a number of outlets on the various university campuses that provide stationery items and other essential study equipment at reasonable prices. Some courses require specialised equipment which can be quite costly, and it is wise to check any additional costs involved with the course of your choice.
11 In general, those practically orientated courses tend to incur higher additional costs. Expenses for books, stationery, and equipment vary greatly, but you should allow approximately $500-$1000 a year.
12 Most university campuses have banks and/or credit unions. The banks issue drafts, traveller's cheques or foreign currency notes, and accept telex or airmail transactions. In some colleges and universities the credit union is the institution's own credit union. In addition to normal banking and financial services (with no transaction charges), credit unions usually provide special services for international students.
13 Money may be deposited or withdrawn from branches of the credit unions and banks during business hours from Monday to Friday (but not on public holidays) or 24 hours a day from the many on-campus automatic teller machines. Business hours for financial institutions vary, but credit unions are usually open from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays, and, generally, banks are open from
9.30 am to 4 pm (5 pm on Fridays). Some services are available on Saturday mornings in selected areas. While prices often compare favourably with prices overseas, because Australia is a large and exciting country it is very easy to overspend, especially if on a tight budget.

篇二：环球雅思VS新东方
环球雅思VS新东方(1)：单腿巨人与金刚巨无霸? 环球天下（GEDU，10.00，+4.93%）教育科技有限公司(GlobalEducation&TechnologyGroupLimited，简称环球雅思)于9月17日向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)递交了在美首次公开发售(IPO)申请F-1文件，公司计划以“GEDU”为股票代码在纳斯达克股票市场上市，瑞士信贷及美国银行（BAC，11.70，+0.69%）美林证券担任此次IPO主承销商，发行价区间定在8.5美元至10.50美元，IPO计划发行640万股，融资6100万美元。如果以发行价的中间值计算，环球雅思的市值约为2.41亿美元，将于10月8日上市。
教育培训业务对比
环球雅思和新东方（EDU，107.48，-1.06%）同是分割中国英语培训这一块市场，主要业务都包括教育培训、网络课程、留学咨询、教材资料。不管是环球雅思还是新东方，教育培训业务都是其占总营收超过80%的主营业务。据统计，2010年英语培训市场规模预计达到21.8亿元，较2009年增长23.9%；2011年和2012年该市场规模预计达到26.5亿元和31.6亿元，较前一年的增长率分别为21.6%和19.2%。 下面将选取雅思、托福以及中小学教育三个领域来分析两者的品牌知名度和市场占有度。
1，雅思
国内雅思考试参加人数逐年增加，相应的雅思培训市场逐年不断增大。2005年中国大陆地区报名参与雅思考试的仅9万人，2009年就达到32万，同年托福仅为13万。如今雅思已经是国内考试人数最多的英语语言考试，预计在2012年，国内参加雅思考试的人数将达到40万。据统计，今年雅思培训市场总额约为11亿人民币，预计到2012年将增长到17亿。
雅思培训市场在品牌和地区竞争十分激烈。据了解，目前开办雅思培训包括国内外开办的英语培训机构和留学中介机构，形成品牌知名度的不下十家。2006年新东方上市前的招股说明书中就曾明确指出：在雅思培训市场，新东方在全国范围内都和环球雅思存在竞争关系。
以下是2010年Q2雅思培训品牌关注度排行榜。 其中，环球雅思以54.4%的关注度排名第一，占据大半江山；新东方学校位列第二，关注度16.5%。其余品牌的关注度则皆不足10%。 由此可见，在雅思培训市场，与新东方相比环球雅思品牌优势比例超越一半，占据领先地位。据环球雅思官网公开资料显示，环球雅思在雅思培训市场占有率约为60%，截止2010年2月20日累计培训1150820个学生。
2，托福＆GRE＆GMAT
以下是2010年Q2托福、GRE和GMAT（留学北美主要语言考试）培训品牌关注度排行榜。在这个细分市场，新东方的关注度超过了九成，占据绝对的领导地位，剩下所有品牌关注度总和不超过10%，可见新东方在这个领域占有绝对压倒性优势。
3，中小学教育培训
在中小学教育培训方面，环球雅思主要侧重于英语和科学培训，环球雅思旗下有144家环球灵童英语连锁学校（包括1家直营和143家加盟），为全国3-16岁青少儿提供全方位立体语言培训环境开发互动教学。17家环球倍趣科学儿童学院（包括3家直营和14家加盟），为4-12岁儿童打造的科学素质课包括自然、科学、生物、动力、光学等200套教材，旨在培养孩子的动手能力和学习兴趣。
新东方在2001年推出的“优能中学全科教育”品牌，主要进行语文、数学、英语、文科综合、理科综合等科目的中学全科教学内容研发。2010年Q1-Q4财季优能非英语课程注册人数同比增长率分别为100%、100%、80%和180%。俞敏洪曾表示，随着新项目加入到网络课程和培训中心课程中，预计2011财年新增100万新注册学生，未来十二个月内将共计有200万新注册学生。俞敏洪就此对媒体表示，“英语培训仍旧是新东方的核心，但优能中学全科项目将是新东方转型的一个方向。”
新东方2004年创立“泡泡少儿英语”也经营得有声有色。财报显示，在2010年四个季度中POP少儿英语项目营收的同比增长均超过40%。俞敏洪表示，2011年将在POP儿童品牌下增设两个新课程：少儿数学和少儿作文课程，以此来作为POP少儿英语的补充。有下图可见，少儿英语培训竞争激烈，四家品牌关注度均超过10%，新东方泡泡少儿英语关注度超过20%从而在少儿英语培训品牌中居于领先地位。
由此可见，中国国内教育（包括英语）培训市场规模在逐年上升，且国内教育培训市场的品牌集中度较高。在雅思培训市场，环球雅思以54.4%的关注度排名第一，新东方学校位列第二关注度为16.5%。在托福、GRE和GMAT（留学北美主要语言考试）市场，新东方的品牌关注度超过了九成，占绝对压倒性优势。除了雅思培训和托福、GRE和GMAT
这
些留学课程，新东方在其他考试类课程比如四六级、考研，以及语言能力课程（包括新概念英语、听说口语、精英英语等）都占有强大的品牌优势。
在中小学教育培训领域，环球雅思的两个品牌为“环球少儿国际英语”和“环球倍趣科学”，主要以加盟连锁为主，并没有形成品牌效应；而新东方的“优能中学全科”和“泡泡少儿英语”不仅品牌关注度高，而且课程体系非常丰富，从而形成了一个“巨无霸”式的教育培训集团。
通过对雅思、托福以及中小学教育培训市场的品牌关注度分析发现，环球雅思除了在雅思培训业务上较新东方（EDU，107.48，-1.06%）占有优势，占有约60%的市场份额，在其他领域，品牌知名度、人群覆盖面和实力都远逊于新东方。这几乎相当于是一个单腿巨人面对一个金刚巨无霸。下面，将从两者财务报表来一探究竟环球雅思和新东方的经营状况。
从09全年的财务数据来看，环球雅思的营收、运营利润和净利润均远远低于新东方各项数据，分别是新东方的10.8%、10.5%和11.5%，仅相当于新东方的1/10左右。
从2010上半年财务数据来看，环球雅思的营收、运营利润和净利润同样远远低于新东方各项数据，分别是新东方的11.1%、15.8%和11.3%。
对于教育培训机构来说，无论是环球雅思还是新东方，注册学生数都是影响业务营收的一个关键性的指标，因为业务的持续增长需要吸引足够的学生进行缴费注册学习。从下图可以很明显看出，注册学生数的增长趋势和营收的增长趋势基本保持一致，通常情况下士每年的第三季度达到最高值。
09年环球雅思和新东方总注册人数分别为640243和1636400，环球雅思总注册人数仅为新东方的39%；2010年上半年分别为419545和853200，环球雅思总注册人数仅为新东方的49%。
教育培训行业注册学生人数受多方面因素的综合影响：首先，市场对品牌的认可度，其次，较成功的市场营销，三，行业的竞争水平，四，学习中心数量的增长，五，不断升级和拓展适应市场需求的课程。另外，教育培训行业注册学生人数季度波动的影响也较大，通常来说，每一年的第三季度的注册人数都较其他季度高，每一年的第一季度最低。
篇三：环球雅思词汇基础完整版
雅思写作中对词汇的要求
很多考生把词汇当成是雅思写作的一道难以逾越的鸿沟，那么雅思写作对词汇到底是什么要求？我们要掌握多少词汇量才能够达到雅思写作的标准呢？雅思考试要求考生的词汇量在8000以上，而这其中有三分之一指的是阅读中的一些高难词汇或专业词汇，对于我们写作而言，能够灵活高效地运用5000词汇就已足够。英文核心词（约2000左右）
首先，我们要来看一下雅思写作对于词汇的要求。
Lexical Resource
1. Accurateness
2. Authentic vocabulary
3. Variety
我们来一一分析者三点，第一点是准确性；第二点式地道词汇的使用； 第三点是词汇多样性。
很多学生都是可以追求了第三点而忽视了第一和第二点。这直接导致的结果就是虽然作文中出现了一些水平比较高的词汇但是由于自己并不能用的得心应手结果出现适得其反的效果，把好的词汇用在了不恰当的地方.由于一心想要在词汇上标新立异， 但是能标新立异的单词又不能准确运用，因此在写作过程中会浪费很多时间去思考. 有时候记不清楚但是不写出来似乎又不甘心，于是花更多时间去思考，或者写了一个认为是正确的实际上却写错的单词。而这些都是对分数有直接影响的。
大家要知道，大作文除了词汇要求，还有语法要求，和小作文相比，大作文更重要的是你有没有切题的观点和清晰的文章结构。在保证这两点的基础上再去思考词汇的出色应用才是正确的选择。就好比是你画一幅建筑设计图，没有框架，没有设计核心，你用的材料再好，也不会达到预期的目标。
所以我认为并不是词汇量少就一定写不出高分文章. 大家再复习考试时不要刻意的去追求词汇多样化. 熟练准确的运用单词比生拼硬凑好单词更重要。
