More than one-third of foreign students graduating from Australian universities, mainly Asians. have such poor English skills they should never have been admitted, research showed. A study by demographer Bob Birrell found that more than 50 percent of South Korean and Thai students did not have sufficient English to work professionally in Australia, along with more than 43 percent of Chinese graduates. Some 17 percent of students from Singapore and India, where English is more widely spoken, also failed to reach the required level. Overall, 34 percent of the graduating foreign students offered permanent residence visas in 2006 did not have competent English.

Birrell of Melbourne’s Monash University, said almost all the 12,000 graduates tested for the survey were from Asia because these students are the most likely to apply for permanent residency on completing their studies. However, he said that he believed the study to be representative of all foreign students, partly because Asia was a major source of fee-paying overseas students for Australian universities. ‘It does raise questions about university standards,’ Birrell told AFP. Tertiary institutions are reliant on international students because they provide 15 percent of funding, leading to suggestions that academic standards are sacrificed in favor of financial rewards.

Education Minister Julie Bishop described the survey as “an extraordinary attack by Professor Birrell on our universities.” ‘International students must meet international benchmarks in language in order to get a place in a university in Australia,’ she said. The study found all graduates tested had enough command of the language to cope in most situations. ‘But people who have reached this standard are still not capable of conducting a sophisticated discourse at the professional level,’ it said.

In his report, Birrell said there was a “mountain of anecdotal material” that many overseas students struggle to meet their course requirements and that universities cope by lowering the English demands of the courses. ‘There is widening recognition of the English problem,’ he said. ‘But universities were hesitant to make students take extra language courses because this would make them more expensive and therefore less attractive than rival institutions,’ he said. However, Professor Gerard Sutton, the president of the Australian Vice-Chancellors Committee, said most foreign students would be proficient in reading, writing and listening to English. ‘What I think has been highlighted is a deficiency in spoken language told AFP, adding that a deficiency in this area would not prevent them from completing a university course.

Some have to do with the environment. For example, coffee that is grown in the shade supports a wide variety of bird species. But few or no birds live among plants grown in full sun. For this reason, many people support the “shade” method of growing coffee. Other issues are related to labor. Although coffee consumers often lead very comfortable lives, in the coffee-producing communities of Latin America and Africa, life can be very difficult, with hard physical work, little income and few basic services. History shows us that violent conflict can occur when groups fight each other for control of important resources such as oil, gold, and water. Sadly, areas where coffee is grown are sometimes also places of political unrest and hardship.

There is no stopping rock and roll. Since its birth in the fifties, rock and roll has become the liveliest force in popular culture. It was born as a child of jazz, blues, and country music. More recently, it has been influenced by movies, television, sex, drugs, art, literature, and electronics. Since its birth, rock and roll has grouped and regrouped into an explosion of styles: folk rock, soul, motown, hard rock, jazz rock, country rock, heavy metal, punk rock, reggae, new wave, rap, and so on. Each type has its own style, themes, and stars. Two of the more successful styles are rap and reggae.

One of the newer styles of rock and roll is rap. Rap is a form of dance music in which singers – rappers – speak in rhythm and rhyme fasther than sing. Rap first appeared in the mid-seventies in the discos of New York City’s black neighbourhoods. Disco DJs teamed up with rappers to play songs for dancers at parties. At first, the role of the rapper was to keep the beat going with hand claps while the DJ changed record. Soon, rappers added lyrics, slogans, rhymes, and call and-response exchanges with the audience. Early rap songs were mainly about dancing, partying, and the romantic adventures of the rappers, but politics became an important theme in the late eighties and nineties. Although rap is primarily the music of young black males, the first white rappers appeared in 1980, and a woman rapper, Queen Latifah, began her career in 1989. M.C. Hammer’s 1990 album, Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em, has sold fifteen million copies, making it the best-selling rap album of the decade.

Another style of rock and roll is reggae, which was born on the Caribbean Island of Jamaica in the sixties and spread throughout the world in the seventies. It developed from a kind of Afro Caribbean music called mento, which was sung and played on guitars and drums. Some musicians changed mento into a music style called ska by adding a hesitation beat. A few years later, other musicians changed ska, and reggae was born. Reggae’s special sound comes from reversing the roles of the instruments: The guitar plays the rhythm and the bass plays the melody. An important influence on reggae music was the Rastafarian cult. The Rastafarians added unusual sound mixes, extra-slow tempos strange lyrics, and mysticalpolitical themes. The best known reggae musician in the United States is Bob Marley.

Rock and roll music is constantly changing. New styles are born, grow, change, and produce offshoots, which in turn grow, change, and produce offshoots. Some styles enjoy lasting popularity, but others disappear rather quickly. However, all contribute to the power and excitement of rock and roll music in our time.

Stress is an experience that puts pressure or a requirement on us. That pressure means we have to adjust to our new situation or environment. Stress can last for a short period, as when a driver has to act to avoid having an accident, or it can last longer, as when a woman is told she has a medical problem and thus must change her diet or daily routine in order to become well again. We all experience stress in different ways. Some people experience stress as just a nervous or busy feeling. Other people experience stress so strongly that it may cause them to seek professional help at a hospital. Still other people may die from experiencing so much stress that it leads to heart disease or other serious health-related problems. Sometimes these health-related problems are physical, and other times they, are psychological. Some people have a personality type that causes them to experience stress more than others. These people are often impatient, competitive, and aggressive and are always short on time.
