学英语能带来什么呢?
2018年1月,我的一个好朋友,从成都坐了20多个小时的飞机,飞到了新西兰的基督城。
她将在那个遥远的西方城市攻读完一个18个月长的硕士学位。
2018年,她36岁。她说,当呼吸到第一口新西兰的清新空气时,她闻到了儿时清晨沿着山路去上学的味道,那是来自梦想的记忆,是新的世界为她喷上的香气。
2017年的夏天,她决意放弃在国内升职总裁的机会,她想出去看更宽阔的天地。
于是在2017年秋天开始的时候,她便一边工作一边利用每个周末的时间,在距离公司2小时车程的公共图书馆里复习英语,备考雅思。
整个秋天,被风吹落的花瓣她没有去捡,山枫红叶她没去赏,连她最爱的秋水徒步也都暂时放在一边。
两个月后,她考过雅思6.5分,开始申请学校,于是整个冬天她又错过了皑皑的白雪,在准备申请材料和面试。
圣诞节她收到了几个学校的offer。
在新西兰的一年,她完成了比工作时写项目策划书更为紧密的学术论文,她说时间管理和逻辑的能力得到了更大的提升,口语也不再是与世界沟通的阻碍。
再回国,更多总裁的位置都会供给她选择。

As conceived by Arthur Morris Binstead, Gal's Gossip (1899)is as risgue as it is ridiculous.Women novelists could be both more emotionally serious and more censorious than the practical titles aimed at boys.
the book lists
《Gal's gossip》
《Playing the game》
《Things to make》

Christmas brings presents,festive food and fun -but also long hours of darkness,cold and wet: perfect conditions for reading indoors, in other words. Writers like George R. Sims, Kate Douglas Wiggin and the anonymous authors of the stories in the St Nicholas Christmas book (1899)sought to channel familial goodwill into wider concern for others.
the book lists:
《 Once upon a christmas time》
《 st.nicholas christmas book 》
《The birds' christmas carol》
