1.?? High school and college students in the United States today have one important question about their futures: will they find a job if they graduate? There is no easy answer, of course. But let’s look at some of the recent changes in the US job market. The most important change has been the shift from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. A service economy is one in which most workers provide services, like pumping gas into people’s cars. Service jobs include transportation and utility companies, wholesale and retail companies, finance, insurance, and real estate companies and personal services.
2.?? During the past five years, the number of Americans killed annually in car accidents has climbed to more than 55 thousand. Most car accidents can be attributed to three general causes: mechanical failures, especially those related to faulty brakes and blown tyres account for significant number of fatal accidents; environmental conditions, such as narrow streets, heavy fog, intermittent rain or snow resulting in slippery roads also contribute to the accident statistics; but the most frequently reported factors in cars’accidents are errors of human judgment, such as speeding, drunken driving, and failure to signal a change from one lane to another. The man behind the wheel is often his own worst enemy. //tr.hjenglish.com/

5.?? With each language we learn, our ability to comprehend the world is given fresh, new scope.
6.?? Just like what Genghis Khan has done in his massacre, globalization is reducing all the differences between languages with English being the domination language.
