University students come from different parts of the country with various purposes.However,a closer look at their reasons for studying at the university will enable us to classify them roughly into three groups:those who have a passion for learning,those who wish to attain a bright future,and those who learn with no definite purpose.
Firstly,there are many students who learn simply because they pursue their goal of learning.Some read a wealth of learning.Some read a wealth of British and American novels because they are keenly interested in literature.Others sit in front of the computer screen,working on a new program, virtually day and night,because they find some computer programs fascinating ,and they dream of becoming a “Bill Gates” one day.
Secondly,there are students who work hard mainly for a better and more prosperous future.It seems that the majority of students fall into this group.After admission to the university,they read books after books to acquire knowledge from all of the resources which are available to them,and finally,to succeed in the future job market.
Thirdly,there are still some students who learn without a clear goal.They take courses,finish homework,enjoy life on campus,but don’t want to sample anything new or challenging.They have no idea what they will be doing after college.And they may end up with nothing in their lives.

Parents and teenagers have different or even opposite things to worry about.For example ,while a mother might have a hard time understanding why her teenagers’ room is always an embarrassment of dirty stuff,the teenagers are more worried about their next exams and may think it is ridiculous for their mother to insist on keeping a clean room.It is therefore important for you to appreciate the differences and learn to communicate with your teenagers properly. Otherwise, your teenagers may say nothing and shut you out of their personal lives.Their refusal to talk with you may even create emotional stress in your life.
Learning effective ways to communicate can reverse the situation of a difficult relationship, reduce the stress of your life,and lead to a friendly relationship with your teenagers.First,you should learn to discuss serious problems in daily conversations.So,important topics,such as driving a vehicle and building a romantic relationship,could be dealt with through daily conversations.
Second,learn to be an active listener.Many parents are so overwhelmed with their work that they could hardly take some time for their beloved children.Spend your time listening carefully to what your children like to talk about,and make sure your children feel they are being taken seriously.This will increase the chances of good communication.

There have been increased demands for higher education to provide students with better courses and more opportunities. To deal with this complex issue, colleges and universities are turning to the Internet for quick access to its rich educational resources.
Now the Internet has been accepted as the preferred technology to many other methods in colleges and universities. Many teachers now routinely post their teaching materials online. A growing number of schools offer at least some undergraduate courses over the Internet.
There are two different models of making use of the Internet for higher education. The first model seeks to improve existing courses by using the Internet. This model provides high-speed Internet connectivity to all students, faculty, and staff. While this model uses the Internet, it doesn’t require many changes, and it keeps most existing institutional structures unchanged.
A different, more revolutionary model regards the Internet as accountable to an important change in higher education, for it is believed that the Internet can transformed teacher-centered instruction into students-centered learning. This, as a result, will bring about basic change to our university education.
