Nineteen South Korean students had spent 10 days working as volunteers in a leper(麻疯病) village in Lianjiang, Guangdong Province, the Southern Metropolitan News reported Monday.

Most of the students had to work part-time for their airfares and other expense before they went to Guangdong. The cost for each was about 4,000 yuan(US$ 480), the report said.

Together with other Chinese volunteers, the South Korean students lived in the leper village, helping the villagers repair houses.

They also taught children singing and dancing, as well as telling them about South Korean customs.

Although they could not speak Chinese, the South Korean volunteers did not think language was a trouble. “We used body language to communicate with the children and the Chinese volunteers also helped us in translation,” a Korean student said.

They planned three dancing and singing parties for the villagers but only one was held because of continuous rain.

“As 90 percent of the 100-odd leper villagers are senior citizens, we could not hold parties outdoors when the weather was not suitable,” a volunteer said.

They finally had a party after putting up a huge tent. “We had wonderful time during the two-hour performance,” they said.

An interesting experience was that they learned how to cook with firewood as they all came from cities where gas cookers are popular. “The villagers taught us a lot of useful knowledge and brought us delicious food,” a volunteer said.

The leper village is a place where recovered leprosy patients live. Guangdong had several leper villages in Qingyuan, Chaozhou, Maoming and Lianjiang, the report said.

　A. visit some places of interest

59. The South Korean Students learned the following except _____.

　A. how to cook with firewood　　　 B. a lot of useful knowledge

As competition becomes more and more fierce, job seekers have to catch every chance. The interview is a very important part of the job hunting. Here, we will give some advice in order to help job seekers do better in an interview.

Be independent.

These days, many graduates are the only child in their family. Thus, many interviewers will think they are lack of independence. So, it is better to go to an interview alone to show that you are independent.

Keep smiling.

A smile is a warm expression which will not only relax you but also leave a friendly impression with the interviewers. You should keep smiling throughout the interview. Show yourself in two minutes.

In an interview, the judge will ask you to make a short self-introduction. You should show your abilities and advantages to the interviewers in this part. Your self-introduction should be short and to the point. Remember your purpose is to persuade the judge to accept you.

Be a good listener.

It is very important to be a good listener in an interview. You should always look at the judges and nod at suitable time during the conversation. In this way, you can present yourself to the interviewers as respectful. In addition, remember to turn off your cell phones, so that the interview is not interrupted(被中断).

Consider your answers carefully.

Before answering an important question, you should take a few seconds to consider your answer. Then, you can prepare your answer carefully. So, when interviewers raise a question, you can say something like “let me think”. If you think for a few seconds and prepare your answer carefully, you can answer the question logically(有逻辑的) and to the point.
