11、of exploring it so Im very impressed and also grateful to her parents for encouraging her to take this very important step of publishing,” said Jeffrey Lloyd, Minister of Education during a one-on-one sit down and conversation.

12、irst book on Amazon. The newest and independently published childrens book “Roman and the Pink Flamingos” is inspired by Sierras three-year-old brother, Roman.“Its frightening to bring something to the public that youve put a lot of work into and someone could very easily tear it apart or tease me,

13、Its not good enough.

18、1960s, followed by Generation X and then Generation Y, often referred to as millennials, and the new kids on the block are Generation Z - aged between 16 and 22. Its easy to classify these young people as all being the same, sharing the same attitudes towards lifebut is that fair?People from Generat

19、ion Z, informally called Z-ers, may be viewed by others as digital natives, incapable of real-world friendships. But they actually view themselves as hardworking, ambitious and about to change the world for the better. The previous generation, born between the mid-1980s and late 1990s - the millenni

20、als were also thought to have these characteristics. But many people view this new generation as “mini-millennials because Z-ers are different and they have their own set of values and preferences which consumer brands need to cater for.Its true to say that technology is playing an important part in

21、 the lives of Generation Z, particularly in the area of social media. In fact, they have not known life without it and using it to communicate, share ideas and campaign is second nature. It means they have more of a say on what we eat, drink and buy than any generation before them. These young peopl

22、e certainly need to be listened to by retailers (零售商) and businesses - they are the people with time on their hands and money.But being a Z-er comes with pressure. One young person says Many people in Generation Z have mental health issues because theyre unsure what the future will bring. The future

25、ink is the real cause of the Z-ers pressure?A.Their ambition to be the best. B.Their uncertainty of the future.C.Their addiction to digital devices. D.Their lack of real-world friendship.4、Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme Top Gear, discovered that

26、one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “Thats quite an odd combination. Its like, this must be done absolutely perfectly tomorrow”.This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended b

27、y these kinds of assertions. We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being generally rather casual and more outwardly friendly than many European countries. German busines

28、s people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.So why do some peopl

29、e disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarksons joke, but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations.What is the difference between the two?By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cult

31、orn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourists experience.If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteris

32、tic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.In this way, some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.However, others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive s
