Cyber words make language more "geilivable"

Cyber language was popular among Chinese netizens, who created English words to reflect novel phenomenon in society.

"Geilivable", combining pinyin of Chinese characters Geili (giving strength) with the English suffix for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool". Similarly, ffxiv gil "Hengeilivable" means "very cool", and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool at all".

"Antizen" referred to the group of college graduates who, ff14 gil earning a meager salary and living in small rented apartments, were like the tiny and laborious ants.

"Smilence" means smile but keep in silence, an FF14 Power leveling attitude people take to comment on an issue which already has drawn consensus.

"Emotionormal" means "emotionally stable".

"Foulsball" showed the anger of netizens towards the woeful FFXIV Power leveling Chinese soccer affected by match-fixing, crooked referees, and illegal gambling.

"Corpspend" was derived from the issue last year. Three cheap ffxiv gil college students died in central China`s Hubei Province while saving two drowning children, then fishermen tied the bodies to a boat to ask a high price for their recovery.

"Suihide" came from the death of a man in a detention center in the southwestern Yunnan Province. Police said he died after playing hide-and-seek with inmates, but this conclusion seemed doubtful.

David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University said it very interesting to combine Chinese with rs gold English to create new words.“English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” he said.

Chinese words and expressions were created, as well, by netizens.

One example was "Suan Ni Hen". This three-character expression, buy runescape gold which originally meant "you win" with the first character carrying the same pronunciation as garlic in Chinese, is used to satirize soaring garlic and food prices this winter.

Chinese people use the character "bei" prior to a verb to show a passive voice, and it was used by netizens to show the helplessness in front of false conclusions and runescape money
fake media reports. For instance, "zisha" means "suicide" while "beizisha" means "be officially presumed to have committed suicide", and "xiaokang" means "fairly comfortable life" while "beixiaokang" means "be said to be living a fairly comfortable life".

Wu Zhongmin, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, saw the phenomenon of word creation as a natural response to young people to social issues.

"Cyber language is more vivid and it shortens people`s distances," he said.

Dare to force job interview?

A survey of 4,500 people co-conducted by sina.com and a leading job recruitment website,ffxiv gil Chinahr.com, in November showed that the majority of job-hunters favored forcing themselves on HR personnel for an interview, even if they were rejected at the outset.

According to the survey,ff14 gil 74 percent of those polled said they were not opposed to forcing an interview. About 43 percent said they believed they could get a FF14 Power leveling job using the tactic and 51 percent said they are willing to ask for interviews without being informed beforehand.

But she was told to return cheap ffxiv gil home because they only interviewed selected applicants.

"If we give you a chance, how can we refuse rs gold hundreds of applicants in the same condition as you?" she was asked by the staff.

Embarrassed

Liu said she felt extremely embarrassed when she was refused the first time but believed perseverance brings success.
She had better luck after forcing an interview with Royal Philips Electronics, and passed the first round successfully, though failed to get an buy runescape gold offer after not passing the second interview.

"A successful forcible interview only earns you an extra chance," Liu said. "It is your performance during the interview that means the most to HR personnel."Liu said the tactic builds toughness. "You can endure more bitterness and pressure than runescape money before because you always beg for a chance and are often refused," Liu said.

Don`t be pushy

Ouyang Hui, a senior employment expert of Chinahr.com, said every company had its own standards for resume selections and HR personnel usually arranged the interview time, venue and the number of interviewees beforehand.

"Forcing oneself on the HR interviewers disrupts their work schedule and makes their job harder," he said. "Leeching onto the interviewers will even leave a negative impression as someone with an unmanageable personality even if they may be finally recruited due to an excellent interview performance."
Ouyang suggested that grads focus on elevating their comprehensive quality and practical interviewing skills instead of forcing interviews.

"If you walked around major Chinese cities 15 years ago,FF14 Power leveling you wouldn`t have seen many signs of Christmas.

HOW TO ACT 007

“My name is Bond—James Bond,” Sean Connery informed the world’s movie-goers in 1962. In seven Bond films over a span of 21 years, ff14 gilthe tall, dark Scot come to embody the suave secret agent whose code name was known around the globe: 007.

But it didn’t go very smooth to be a successful star. The exception was Robert Henderson, a 47-year-old Yank who was directing South Pacific.ffxiv gil One day, Henderson had a long talk with the muscle man whose determination seemed irrepressible. Connery told Henderson he hoped to become a professional soccer player.

“Well look,” said Henderson. “ With soccer, at 28 or 30. it’s all over. Then what do you do? Wouldn’t you rather be an actor?” “How?” asked Connery, “ I left school at 13.”

Henderson nodded. “You’ve practically no education. FF14 Power levelingBut you have an imagination and a mind. I will give you a list of ten books that you should read.”

The “ten” books that Henderson had mentioned were more like 200. including the complete works of Shakespeare, Thomas Wolfe and Oscar Wilde. But Connery tackled them—every day, applying all the energy and tenacity he got from his parents. He would go to the library in the morning and stay till curtain time.

Late at night, he would sit up with his tape recorder, hearing a voice that certainly wasn’t Polish and was sounding a little less Scottish.FFXIV Power leveling Acting, he decided after a year of this, was going to be his career. And for his new life, Connery had chosen a new first name.

In 1957, the BBC produced Rod Serling’s play Requiem for a heavyweight. The down-and-out prize-fighter, Mountain McClintock, was played by a young actor who had boxed in the Royal Navy. His name—Sean Connery.

The same year, Connery was cast in a production of Anna Christie. The title role was played by ash blond Diane Celento. She was to become Connery’s wife a few years later.

Connery was called to the producers’ London office for an interview. “We watched him bound across the street like Superman,” said Saltzman later. “We knew we had our Bond.”

“Do you expect me to talk?”

“No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.”

But 007 did not die. runescape moneyThe Bond pictures’ success permitted Connery to move his wife, their son, Jason, and his stepdaughter into a town house overlooking London’s Acton Park.

UK to toughen visa rules

Tens of thousands of Chinese students in UK could be forced out of the country if a basket of strict visa policies takes effect next year.

The government wants to ensure that those who enter on a student visa come here to study,ff14 gil not to work or with a view to settling here." the Home Office said on its website.The Home Office said too many students, and especially those studying at private colleges at non-degree levels, are not in compliance with their visa terms.
