internship fair

internship:
a period of time spent doing a job as part of becoming qualified to do it


We got an internship fair yesterday afternoon. Originally, I just knew a little about it as Jackie,who is a Kaplan staff, mentioned it.

After intervewing with the internship members, I found that it was very totally a perfect job. In my opinion, if we want to improve our English quickly, it's the BEST way. They won't get money because it's illegal to do any job in America and they will help some people as well. Last but not least, they are very ambitious. So I voted to the most ambitious korea girl. Her ambition deeply impressed me a lot.

Here I want to say thank you for Kaplan.

devastating effect

devastating effect

devastate:
to destroy a place or thing completely or cause great damage

Eg.
Do you believe movies can predict events? "Oceans rise, cities fall, hope survives" is a line from the movie called Deep Impact , which was posted in summer, 1998. Consider after 6 years 12/26/2004, what is going on in Indonesia right now because of the deterioration of their currency, which is a far cry from the devastating effect like the end of the world as we know it. Just like the scene of the movie -- the spectacle of giant tidal waves wiping out entire cities.
