亚东会广告英语作文The Asian Games, a prestigious multi-sport event held every four years, is a true celebration of the athletic prowess and cultural diversity of the Asian continent. As the host nation eagerly prepares to welcome the world's best athletes, the need for effective advertising and promotion of this grand event becomes paramount. The advertising campaign for the upcoming Asian Games must capture the essence of the games, ignite the passion of the global audience, and leave a lasting impression that resonates long after the final medals have been awarded.One of the key elements of a successful advertising campaign for the Asian Games is the creation of a strong and memorable brand identity. The logo, slogan, and visual elements must be designed to encapsulate the spirit of the games, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and athletic traditions of Asia. The logo should be visually striking, instantly recognizable, and able to be seamlessly integrated across various media platforms, from event merchandise to digital advertising.The slogan, on the other hand, should be a concise and impactful statement that captures the essence of the games. It should be a rallying cry that inspires athletes and spectators alike, evoking a sense of unity, sportsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence. The slogan should be translated into multiple languages to ensure its accessibility and appeal to a global audience.In addition to the brand identity, the advertising campaign should also leverage the power of storytelling to connect with the audience on an emotional level. Showcasing the personal journeys of the athletes, the sacrifices they have made, and the dreams they strive to achieve, can create a deep and lasting connection with the viewers. These stories should be told through a variety of media, including video profiles, social media content, and print advertisements, to reach a diverse audience and capture their attention.Another crucial aspect of the advertising campaign is the strategic placement and distribution of the content. The Asian Games organizers should utilize a wide range of platforms, from traditional media such as television and print, to the ever-growing digital landscape of social media and online advertising. By carefully targeting specific demographics and geographic regions, the campaign can ensure maximum reach and engagement with the audience.Social media, in particular, presents a unique opportunity to connect with a younger and more tech-savvy audience. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube can be leveraged to create engaging, shareable content that resonates with the digital-native generation. Influencer marketing, where popular social media personalities endorse and promote the Asian Games, can also be an effective strategy to tap into new audiences and build brand awareness.Moreover, the advertising campaign should not be limited to thepre-event phase but should also extend throughout the duration of the games and beyond. During the event, real-time updates, live-streamed content, and interactive fan experiences can keep the audience engaged and invested in the action. Post-event, the advertising efforts should focus on highlighting the legacies and lasting impact of the Asian Games, showcasing the infrastructure developments, cultural exchanges, and the inspirational stories of the athletes.To ensure the success of the advertising campaign, the organizers should also consider collaborating with local and regional partners, leveraging their expertise, networks, and cultural insights. This can lead to the creation of more tailored and impactful advertising content that resonates with the diverse populations across Asia.In conclusion, the advertising campaign for the upcoming AsianGames must be a multifaceted and strategic endeavor that captures the essence of the event, engages the global audience, and leaves a lasting impact. By crafting a strong brand identity, leveraging the power of storytelling, utilizing a diverse range of media platforms, and fostering collaborative partnerships, the organizers can create an advertising campaign that truly celebrates the spirit of the Asian Games and inspires the world.。

(40)Executive SummaryEnrollment TrendsAfter a steady increase in enrollment for a decade, student enrollment is beginning to decrease. From 2004 to 2006 enrollment decreased by 5,350 students or approximately 1%.Student DemographicsThe student population for Orange County continues to shift. Currently Hispanic/Latino students represent 44% of the County’s enrollment; white students are 36% of the total and the Asian/Pacific Islander/Filipino population accounts for 15% of students. The County currently serves 144,118 English Learners (EL) representing 28% of all students and higher than the 25% EL students statewide. Approximately 39% of Orange County students qualify for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) as compared with a state average of 51%.Teaching StaffIn 2005-2006, the County employed 22,851 teachers with approximately 81% of teaching staff being Caucasian, 10% Hispanic, 7% Asian/Pacific Islander/Filipino, and 1% African American.In 2005-2006, 97% of the teaching staff in Orange County was fully credentialed. The number of teachers with emergency credentials has dramatically decreased over the last five years although there has been a substantial increase on the number of teachers with waivers – a possible indication that teachers hold a teaching credential from another state.Dropout RateThe dropout rate for county students remains lower than state averages for 2006, and this rate has dropped significantly in the past five years. Due to the lack of a state student identification system, drop-out data is calculated from aggregated enrollment numbers and not from individual student tracking.Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)—CST ResultsThe California Standards Tests(CSTs), measuring student learning of rigorous academic content standards, have seen a 4-year increase in the percentage of students meeting English language arts and math standards. The percentage of Orange County students scoring proficient or advanced surpass state averages in all subject areas at every grade level, although ‘gaps’ in performance still exist between Hispanic students and others throughout the system.Physical Fitness ResultsCounty Physical Fitness results show decreased performance for 2006, measured by the percent of students able to meet the individual fitness tasks. Orange County females surpass males in grades five and seven, with more females than males meeting all six fitness standards. Ninth grade males out-perform females, with 35% of males meeting all six fitness standards and 33% of females meeting all standards.California High School Exit ExamBeginning with the graduating Class of 2006, students in California public schools must pass the CAHSEE to receive a high school diploma. Orange County student pass rates across groups (all students, Special Education, English learners, redesignated students, and socio-economically disadvantaged students) are higher than the state average in both mathematics and English-Language Arts.English Learner ProgressStudents classified as English Learners (EL) are tested for language fluency using the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). The percent of students moving to the top two proficiency levels, Early Advanced and Advanced, doubled in five years from 24% in 2001-2002 to 49% in 2005-2006. In 2006 Orange County schools redesignated 9.7% of the EL students from English Learner (EL) to FEP, an increase from last year’s 8.3%. English Learners in Orange County also show slightly higher percents of students scoring proficient and advanced on the CSTs than state averages. Graduation Rates and College-Going TrendsIn 2004-2005 (the latest year available) the county calculated graduation rate was 93.1% while the state’s was 85.0%. In 2005, approximately 58% of Orange County seniors went on to college with the majority (11,888) attending community colleges. Approximately 3,200 students attended CSU campuses while 2,500 began studies in the UC system.Academic Performance Index (API)— State AccountabilityComponents used to compute the 2005-06 Academic Performance Index (API) include the results of the STAR Assessment and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). The number of Orange County districts meeting the state target of 800 or above has consistently increased. In 2003, eight districts had an API in the 800s; in 2006 that number increased to twelve out of the 28 county school districts.Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)—Federal AccountabilityUnder the federal guidelines of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) states, school districts, and schools are expected to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) towards meeting academic standards. Nearly all schools met federal targets in the number of students participating in mandated testing; Orange County schools remain challenged in bringing all subgroups to academic proficiency.Program Improvement (PI)Schools who fail to meet federal growth targets (AYP) are subject to sanctions through Program Improvement. Overall 105 Orange County schools in eighteen districts are in Program Improvement, with the majority at the elementary level. At present, twenty-seven county schools are in years 4 or 5 of Program Improvement, which includes some form of school restructuring.Section I COUNTY DEMOGRAPHICSEnrollment TrendsOrange County Office of Education (OCDE) serves 28 school districts to provide over 500,000 students with a world class education. Orange County is located in southern California and is bordered by San Diego, San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties. During the 2005-2006 school year, Orange County school districts served an enrollment of 510,114 K-12 students. From 1994 to 2004 enrollment within Orange County has steadily increased. From 2004 to 2006 enrollment decreased by 5,350 students.Enrollment By Grade – Number of Students Enrolled in Orange County SchoolsGrade 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06Kinder 38,379 37,786 37,066 36,387 36,080 Grade 1 40,754 40,165 39,397 38,270 37,989 Grade 240,913 40,264 39,417 38,434 37,121 Grade 3 41,530 41,172 40,384 39,121 38,004 Grade 4 40,364 41,080 40,641 39,523 38,385 Grade 5 40,065 40,383 40,804 40,056 38,999 Grade 6 40,252 40,364 40,640 40,462 39,704 Grade 7 37,542 40,430 40,526 40,571 40,482 Grade 8 37,274 38,265 40,903 40,684 40,853 Grade 9 39,291 42,544 43,051 44,672 43,778 Grade 10 37,792 38,954 40,760 41,267 41,695 Grade 11 36,010 36,608 37,341 38,889 39,724 Grade 12 30,706 31,938 32,337 33,176 34,824 Ungraded 2,479 2,152 2,197 2,232 2,479 TOTAL503,351512,105515,464 513,744 510,114Source: California Department of Education (CDE)Source: California Department of Education (CDE)Ethnic Distribution TrendsFor over a decade, the Hispanic student population has been on the increase in Orange County schools.

The count excludes special education classes, classes with no enrollment or enrollment over 50, and other minor items. The slight increase in class size is directly related to changes in state funding and budget shortfalls to fund the additional cost related to class size reduction in most districts.Average Class Size TrendsCounty State2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Schoolwide 28.1 27.4 29.2 29.3 28.9 26.3 26.2 27.4 27.3 27.3 Kindergarten 21.6 20.8 22.9 24.4 24.9 18.7 19.0 19.6 19.7 20.5 Grade 1 19.2 19.1 19.3 19.3 19.4 19.1 19.2 19.3 19.3 19.3 Grade 2 19.0 18.9 19.2 19.3 19.4 18.7 19.1 19.2 19.2 19.2 Grade 3 19.7 19.7 20.7 20.8 21.1 19.1 19.4 19.8 19.8 19.7 Grade 4 29.7 29.5 30.2 30.4 30.2 28.3 28.8 29.2 29.0 28.9 Grade 5 29.8 30.2 30.5 30.7 30.6 28.8 29.2 29.4 29.5 29.3 Grade 6 30.1 29.9 30.4 30.4 29.9 29.1 29.3 29.4 29.5 29.3 Grade 7 27.0 18.5 22.0 29.0 21.5 23.7 27.1 26.5 26.7 26.9 Grade 8 22.0 12.9 22.0 21.5 25.0 23.4 26.0 25.9 26.5 26.1 K-3 Combinations 18.7 17.9 18.8 19.0 18.9 18.5 18.0 18.7 18.7 18.6 3-4 Combinations 21.7 16.5 22.6 24.2 23.8 20.7 19.6 21.2 21.6 21.5 4-8 Combinations 28.1 26.0 28.7 28.3 28.2 26.7 25.5 26.6 26.5 26.0 Continuation 19.2 14.2 - 18.0 23.6 14.9 14.6 - 17.5 17.7 Community Day 11.3 16.9 17.8 30.8 28.7 12.3 12.0 13.0 13.7 12.6 Other Self-Contained 18.4 14.2 13.9 16.2 30.0 17.1 16.3 18.5 19.4 20.2 Secondary CoursesEnglish 27.0 26.1 28.3 28.4 28.0 24.9 24.8 26.2 26.1 26.1 Math 29.3 28.3 30.5 30.5 29.8 27.1 27.0 28.2 28.0 27.8 Social Science 30.8 30.2 31.7 31.7 31.7 28.5 28.9 30.0 29.7 29.7 Science 30.9 30.2 31.8 31.9 31.6 29.2 29.0 30.1 30.0 29.8Source: California Department of Education (CDE)Pupil/teacher ratio is the enrollment in a school or district divided by the full-time equivalent (FTE) number.

Following the new guidelines, the CDE now definesa dropout as a person who:1.Was enrolled in grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 at some time during the previous school yearAND left school prior to completing the school year AND has not returned to school asof CBEDS Information Day in October.OR2.Did not begin attending the next grade (7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12) in the school to which theywere assigned or in which they had pre-registered or were expected to attend by CBEDSInformation Day in October.According to the California Department of Education, the 4-year derived dropout rate is an estimate of the percent of students who would drop out in a four-year period based on data collected for a single year for grades 9-12.The state and county 4-year derived dropout rate has steadily declined since 1991-92. Changes in dropout rates up to 2003-04 may be in part due to better record-keeping. Dropout reporting requirements changed beginning in the 2002-2003 school year to be in alignment with No Child Left Behind (NCLB) federal reporting requirements.

无人商店的利弊英语作文Title: Pros and Cons of Unmanned Stores。
Unmanned stores, also known as cashier-less or self-service stores, have gained significant attention in recent years due to advancements in technology. These storesutilize various technologies such as RFID, computer vision, and AI to allow customers to enter, select items, and complete transactions without the need for human interaction. While this concept promises convenience and efficiency, it also raises concerns and challenges. In this essay, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of unmanned stores.Advantages:1. Convenience: Unmanned stores offer unparalleled convenience to customers. With no queues or waiting times, shoppers can quickly enter, grab what they need, and leave, saving valuable time, especially during peak hours.2. 24/7 Accessibility: Unlike traditional stores with fixed operating hours, unmanned stores can operate round the clock, providing accessibility to customers at any time of the day or night. This is particularly beneficial for those with hectic schedules or unconventional work hours.3. Reduced Labor Costs: Since unmanned stores eliminate the need for human cashiers, businesses can significantly reduce labor costs. This could lead to lower prices for consumers or increased profitability for retailers.4. Streamlined Checkout Process: With the integration of advanced technologies such as computer vision and AI, the checkout process in unmanned stores is seamless. Items are automatically detected and added to the virtual cart, eliminating the need for manual scanning or input.5. Data Collection and Analysis: Unmanned stores gather vast amounts of data on customer preferences, shopping habits, and inventory management in real-time. This data can be analyzed to optimize product placement, pricingstrategies, and inventory stocking, leading to improved efficiency and customer satisfaction.Disadvantages:1. Technological Challenges: Unmanned stores heavilyrely on technology, and any glitches or malfunctions can disrupt the entire shopping experience. Issues such as system failures, connectivity problems, or inaccuracies in item recognition may frustrate customers and tarnish the store's reputation.2. Security Concerns: The absence of human staff in unmanned stores raises security concerns, particularly regarding theft and vandalism. Without vigilant supervision, there is a higher risk of shoplifting, fraudulentactivities, or malicious behavior.3. Lack of Personalized Service: While unmanned stores offer convenience, they lack the personal touch and customer service provided by human staff. Customers maymiss the interaction with knowledgeable employees who canoffer recommendations, answer questions, or resolve issues effectively.4. Accessibility Challenges: Unmanned stores may pose challenges for certain demographics, such as the elderly, technologically challenged individuals, or those with disabilities. Navigating the store, using self-checkout kiosks, or accessing digital interfaces may be daunting or inaccessible for some customers.5. Job Displacement: The widespread adoption of unmanned stores could lead to job displacement in theretail sector. As automation replaces human workers, there is a risk of unemployment and economic inequality, particularly for low-skilled workers who rely on cashier jobs for livelihood.In conclusion, unmanned stores offer undeniablebenefits in terms of convenience, accessibility, and cost savings. However, they also present challenges such as technological vulnerabilities, security risks, and concerns about job displacement. It is essential for businesses andpolicymakers to address these issues responsibly while harnessing the potential of unmanned stores to enhance the retail experience for all consumers.。

This restaurant machine stood almost two metres high, weighed 340 kg, and cost $5,000.‘The early domestic microwaves were out of this world,’ says Elizabeth Walter, 23whoran a microwave cookery school in London in the 1970s. 'One of the best things was that you couldadjust the power and cooking speed. We 24usedto do cakes and demonstrate how tosimmer sauces, and make casseroles. There was hardly anything you 25coul dnot do!'However, the microwave has 26hadconsiderable criticism from professional cooks,in spite of its speed and efficiency. ‘I’ve always hated them,’ says a head chef at a well-known Londonrestaurant, ‘I don’t really know 27whyI feel that way. Perhaps it’s 28t hatmicrowaves represent speed and a lack of skill.’ Many chefs still think this way.

至美留学-211院校专属留学平台 美国留学还要通过入学考试?现在,无论国内还是国外,考试就如果城市构造那样,一环接着一环,就拿美国留学来说好了,想必目前已被录取的同学们都还在准备placement test或刚已完成placement test 了吧。
其placement test 究竟是指什么?下面来给大家解释一下。
Placementtest为美国的入学测试,就如同我国很多大学都会开办的新生摸底考试一样。
大部分美国高校对于新生也会有这一过程,有的学校规定,假如测试未通过的话,需在之后的某一时间进行补考。
针对国际新生这块,大部分高校都要求参加英语测试,主要版块依然是“听说读写”四个方面。
如果有想在一开始就学习第二外语课程(英语已不算)的学生,就得再通过相应的第二外语测试。
如CMU,就要求大一国际新生必须通过微积分与英语测试,要是还有想读第二外语的,则需要考相应的语言测试,像日语、法语、西班牙语等。
那么,肯定有人会问:这些入学考试能免考吗?其实想免考也是不算难的,大多数当地高校规定,假如说国际新生都已经参加了AP 或者是SAT考试,并取得了特别优异的成绩,这样是可以免考相应科目测试的。
如CMU,该校规定如果新生已参加了AP CalculusAB 或Calculus BC 考试,则可以不用再进行微积分课程的入学考试了。
入学考试究竟什么时候考呢?其实这个信息得按照当地每所高校的具体政策来,没有统一安排,更没有其必要。
学生们就在本校的官网上查询入学前的checklist,官网会详细显示该Placementtest测试是在orientation期间进行,还是需新生在入学前就完成。
如Michigan 的入学考试就要求学生们在入学前就完成。
其实在这门考试方面大家尽可不必担心,Placementtest测试难度并不大,尤其是在数学科目上,相信对于大部分中国生来说,都是小菜一碟。
这个测试成绩并没有什么“绝对性”。
美国大学对录取的同学进行入学测试placementtest考试介绍为什么要有入学测试:一方面原因是:学校需要了解中国考生的英语基础和学术背景实力,然后对考生进行分班。
另外一方面的原因是:某国很多考试的GPA成绩是有水分,这个估计大家都知道。
如果你的入学考试的分数与你的GPA分数明显地不符合的话,可能需要你补考,甚至退学。
详细了解这个考试,请继续往后看。
如果各位家长和学生需要这个入学考试的辅导,请联系我们。
我们这里有全套入学考试辅导资料和专业老师的指导。
美国大学的入学测试是什么?这个入学测试叫做Placement Test考试,是由美国Overseas student Placement Test center(美国海外学生分班测试中心)研发的考题。
Placement test中文翻译为:入学分级考试,通过心智成熟度,判断学生是否适合出国、对专业的选择及出国后分为初级班、中级班还是高级班。
考试是用来对学生的英语水平进行快速评估测试,提出提高和改进意见。
通过心理测试,给学生一个专业选择的建议,为学生选择一个适当的学习起始点。
考试内容Placement T est 考试系统,内容分为三个部分:心理测试性格特点潜力特长听说(通过网络完成)听力测试回答问题、看图描述读写语法词汇(阅读短文)写作Placement Test中的心理测试,不计入总分,作为留学规划报告的重要参考,听说读写部分共计200分,分为七级,其中0-59分为一级,60-89分为二级,90-119分为三级,120至149分为四级,150至179为五级,180至189为六级,190至200分为七级。
为了体现分数的统一性,考试采用标准分制度,即将原始分兑换成标准分,作为参考标准。
Placement Test试题的主要考察点侧重于阅读理解、学术写作、听力及读写,同时也考察学生的语法、词汇等基础知识,让学生对自己的英语水平有一个快速的定位,这是对无法提供SAT、托付雅思成绩,而又十分渴望到美国及其他承认次考试系统学校的国家深造的学生提供了最佳途径。
Student Success & Assessment ServicesSanta Rosa Junior CollegeEnglish Placement TestStudy Guide & Cut-Off ScoresWriting SampleThe English Placement Test will be administered on the computer. The English Placement Test begins with an essay assignment. You will have 45 minutes to plan and write your essay on the topic specified at the time of the test. Do not write on a topic other than the one specified; an essay on a topic of your own choice is not acceptable. The topic will be on some issue of general interest, drawing on your critical reading and academic writing skills.You should have enough time to read and analyze the assigned topic carefully and to organize your thoughts before you begin writing. You may make notes in the space provided in the essay booklet.Scoring Your Essay: The SRJC English faculty who evaluate your essay will expect you to write a well-organized essay, one in which you develop your ideas clearly and logically. Sentence and paragraph structure, usage, and grammar also contribute to your final essay score. Each essay is read and scored holistically by two different faculty members using a scoring guide that helps to define degrees of writing proficiency. The two readers' scores are combined to give your reported score, which will fall between 2 (low) and 12 (high). A score of 0 is given to essays not written on the assigned topic.Remember: The readers will be looking for the following:1. Addresses the topic and responds to all aspects of the task.2. Demonstrates a critical understanding of the passage in developing a response.3. Reveals some depth of thinking.4. Coherently organized and developed, with a main idea supported by appropriate reasons, examples and details.5. Command of sentence structure and language.6. Grammatical accuracy.Multiple Choice TestThe multiple choice test is comprised of 65 questions administered in two separate components:1.Reading Comprehension (30 minutes, 35 questions): Sample PassageThe study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the past. We may repeat mistakes, but, at least, we have the opportunity to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to ask about the present. Contrary to some people’s view, the study of history is not the memorization of names, dates, and places. It is the thoughtful examination of the forces that have shaped the courses of human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events. History teaches us about likely outcomes.Another benefit of the study of history is the broad range of human experience which is covered. War and peace are certainly covered as are national and international affairs. However, matters of culture (art, literature, and music) are also included in historical study. Human nature is an important part of history: emotions like passion, greed, and insecurity have influenced the shaping of world affairs. Anyone who thinks that the study of history is boring has not really studied history.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Studying history helps us to live in today’s world.B.Studying history is not just memorization.C.The role of education is to help students deal with real life.D.Students should study both national and international history.2.In the first paragraph, inferences meansA.graphs C. conclusionsB.articles D. circumferences3. Which method of teaching history would the author of this passage support?A.Applying historical events to modern societying flash cards to remember specific facts.C.Weekly quizzes on dates and events.D.Student competitions for most books memorized.Answers: (1.) A (2.) C (3.) A2. Sentence Structure & Grammar (20 minutes, 30 questions): Sample QuestionsPart 1: In this section, each question contains 4 sentences. Choose the one that is best.Example:A.One of the musicians who is Eric has been looking for a practice room.B.Eric, one of the musicians, are looking for a practice room.C.Eric who is one of the musicians who are looking for a practice room.D.Eric, one of the musicians, is looking for a practice room.Answer: “D” is the only choice that makes sense and is grammatically correct.Part 2: In this section, you are given a sentence which has words left out. Fill in the blank space andcomplete the sentence by choosing the correct answer from the choices given.Example: The workers left early and _____________ home.A)goneB)wentC)havedinnerD)drives Answer: “B” is the only answer that makes sense and is grammatically correct.Part 3: In this section, you are first given two sentences. Then you are given four choices of how these two sentences can be combined. Choose the best answer.Example: The traffic was heavy. I was late to work.A.I was late to work because the traffic was heavy.B.I was late to work, so the traffic was heavy.C.The traffic was heavy, I was late to work.D.The traffic was heavy: and then I was late to work.Answer: “A” is the only sentence that makes sense and is grammatically correct.English Placement Test Cut-Off Scores and Course Names125 - 195 ENGL 1A Reading and Composition109 - 124 ENGL 100 College Reading and Writing94 - 108 ENGL 307 or302X and 100X Improvement of College Reading and Writing, or College Reading and Writing--Accelerated78 - 93 ENGL 305.1 or305X and 306X Development of College Reading and Writing, or Development of College Reading and Writing--Accelerated60-77 CSKLS 313 Foundations of College Reading and Writing 0-59 CSKLS 312 Grammar and Writing Skills。
