1、 Students often want to practise their English outside class. One of the best ways of practicing your English is to speak to foreigners. Most of the students ask，\"Is it OK to talk to foreigners when we meet them in the street?\" The answer is yes or no，but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost，it is polite to ask him or her，May I help you?\" But if not，you should probably let him or her go on with the business. That is，you can talk to a foreigner at some time or places. It is quite OK to ask him or her questions if a foreigner comes into your school, classroom or your teachers' office. It's also OK to talk to foreigners in some public places. If you see a foreigner and there is no other one with him or her in a restaurant，a waiting room，or a shop，it is the right time for you to ask him or her，\"Is this seat free?\" or questions like this. You can probably help them if they are new to China, And if they are alone，you may be able to make them feel more welcome. It's a pleasure to talk to a foreigner if you choose the right time and place.

2、As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business

world was unthinkable. Men thought that no woman could do a good job outside the home. When the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to sign their books with men's names instead.

Teaching was the first profession open to women after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men.

Hospital nursing became a respectable job for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be \"ladies\". Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860.

The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.
