Bollywood movies are taking the world by storm.
寶萊塢電影正席捲全世界。
Before there was Mumbai, there was Bombay, the city's former name, which was the center of the Indian film industry. Bollywood, which is a combination of Bombay and Hollywood, is not actually a physical location like its cousin in the West. Instead, it refers to the part of the industry that produces nearly all the Hindi-language based movies in the world.

Online degrees are one of the hottest global trends.
線上學位是全球最熱門的趨勢之一。
Have you ever considered pursuing a college degree online? In the not-so-distant past, such degrees were perceived as inferior and commanded little respect from academics and employers alike. Now all that has changed and online education is one of the fastest growing global trends. The online student population is expanding by 30 percent per year, and approximately 86 percent of colleges and universities now offer online degree programs. Included among them are top tier American universities like Duke and NYU.
　　Why has earning a degree primarily through the Internet become so appealing? There are several reasons. College graduates are less likely to be unemployed, even in today's economy, and their earning potential is much higher than that of non-college graduates. Another reason boils down to the flexibility of this approach. For the full-time employed, and those with families to care for, joining the ranks of the highly educated has become much more attainable.
　　However, hard work is essential. Online students have to study and apply themselves the same as conventional classroom students. Course work is assigned online and is usually posted on websites, along with related articles. There are links for lectures and supplementary materials. Student papers are submitted by email and professors typically hold office hours via online chatting programs. The Internet seems the ideal medium for the convergence of all the latest learning tools. Tuition fees for online programs are comparable to classroom-based ones, but being able to keep your day job and reduce transportation and parking costs will add up to real savings.
　　If you're thinking about getting an online degree, be sure to do your homework. Research the institutions you are considering. Online degrees are well accepted as long as the chosen university is known and respected.

When Sheila showed up to do some volunteer work in Africa, she was automatically in awe of the place. She had never experienced the extreme poverty or the constant sandstorms and blistering heat. After a few weeks, she had gotten used to almost everything except for the beggars. Everywhere she went, people were sticking their hands in her face and asking for money. Sheila was trying to help out the local village by building an orphanage, but she couldn't possibly give everyone everything they wanted.
