英语角-圆桌会议 RoundTable0611 - 高校创意招生广告

 Topic1 'Good Samaritan' favored by TsinghuaA young Good Samaritan has attracted the attention of China's top institution, Tsinghua University, and 10 other higher-education colleges after he missed this year's national college entrance exam held the past weekend.

Liu Yanbing, a high school student from Jiangxi province, was injured while stopping a knife attack at the end of May.

He now will be given the chance to attend Tsinghua's independent recruitment program if his grades at a catch-up exam reach his hometown's first standard score.

Is this offer good enough for what he's done?

Topic2 College recruitment advertisingThe 2014 national college entrance examination¹ ended last weekend and the next thing exam takers will face is to compare colleges and universities and decide which one to go. Now their future schoolmates who are currently² in the school already are trying to make the decision easier or more difficult.

They've taken it upon themselves to design various recruitment advertisements.

Are they more interesting and attractive than the official recruitment ads?
