Many, including 18-year-old Emily Bishko, will be leaving their parents for the very first time.Emily Bishko: I honestly, like, feel like I am old.Father: Yeah?Emily Bishko: And that I - but I also feel like I dont belong here, like Im too young to be here.Reporter: Her parents listen to their grown-up little girl with a bittersweet mix of emotions.Mother: Its such a range from the happiest feeling to the saddest feeling. Happiness for her because shes gonna go, and happiness for us because were gonna move into this next phase. But then, oh, my gosh, shes gonna go.Reporter: The Bishkos travel halfway across the country, from Atlanta to St. Louis.Emily Bishko: Thats everything out of the trunk, right?Reporter: To help Emily get settled in at Washington University.Mother: Do you need batteries?Emily Bishko: No.Reporter: There are lots of adjustments in store, and its just the moment for a healthy dose of sarcasm.Father: Theres plenty of room in here, dont you think, for two people and all their clothing, books, and computers? And it shouldnt be any problem at all.Reporter: Its a far cry from the spacious home where Emily grew up. Shell have to hold on tight to the memories of her favorite meals with her parents and big brother, Jack.Emily Bishko: You said you had some advice for me when I go off to college.Reporter: And evening romps with the two family dogs.Emily Bishko: Im gonna miss this guy.Reporter: And for mom and dad, its time now to let go.Mother: We started with a newborn baby, and its 18 years later, and shes been very successful, and were very proud to see where she started to where she now has ended up.Father: At some point in a childs life, you have to let them become the adult and mature into the adult. And I think, you know, its this letting go thats hard to do, but its very important to do.Reporter: And so begins the process. Back at school, there is advice for all concerned.Reporter: Like many colleges across the country, Washington University offers orientation programs not just for nervous freshmen but for the parents who leave them behind. The sessions are held separately to cushion the blow of letting go. The one Emilys parents attend features a skit with students who reenact the first phone call home.Actor: Hello, mom? Hi. You remember that credit card you gave me just for emergencies?Well, I was at the bookstore and - hi, dad. Now Im talking to both of you.Reporter: Also on hand to offer insights, Wash Us Karen Coburn. She wrote the book Letting Go.Karen Coburn: I think that a lot of parents find it very confusing. Because one minute their child wants them to be with them and says, Are you coming here with me? and the next minute, their child is practically running ten steps ahead of them so that the parent doesnt seem to be associated with them at all.Reporter: After all, there are new friends, new experiences, newfound freedoms.Karen Cohurn: The most important thing is to acknowledge the changes that are taking place in your child, to see your child for who he or she is becoming, not for some image that you hold in your head of what this child is supposed to be, and to support those changes and to enjoy it.Reporter: Enjoy it, because all too soon, all across the campus. Mother 2: I feel as though a piece of my heart is missing.Reporter: Its time to blink back the tears. Mother 2: God bless you, baby. Joy. Joy and sorrow together, because hes my running mate. Doing things for mommy all the time, and Ill miss that.Reporter: And say goodbye. Mother 3: Bye, Joel. Well miss you. Student 2: Bye, mom. Mother 3: Say goodbye to Joel.Brother: Bye, Joel. Mother 3: Give Joel a hug. Give Joel a hug.Father 2: See you, Joel.B- (Waiter) Happy New Years, ladies.- Gabby, its New Years Eve.Enough reading.- But, Mom, Im almost done.- The teen party?

My guest to day is Olympic ambassador and prime-time presenter Yang I.an. This is Talk Asia. AR: Thats where I joined her. So this is it, this is your new gig. Tell me about it. YL: Yeah well, its a weekly show called Olympic Songfest. The purpose of the show is to promote and also select the Olympic theme songs, not only the theme songs but also songs for the torch relay, the volunteers program . Actually the BOCOG , the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, wants to select as much as 25 Olympic songs for different occasions and different environments. Some of them are targeted as the theme songs, for the opening and the closing ceremonies, and some of them are more for the public to sing. AR: Right, and its all done in front of this sort of live studio audience? YL: Yeah, we have the live studio. This is our band, Space. And we have our live audience. Every time we invite in about four or five musicians and singers to present their new entries of songs as well as some of the very popular songs that they wrote before. And then well talk about their involvement and their stories about the Olympic Games. AR: So, I guess its kind of an unusual way to pick an Olympic theme tune, isnt it? To have people voting on the song that they want, kind of like an American Idol sort of thing? YL: Well, not quite, because we do have a professional, very authoritative committee to select those songs officially. But what our program is doing is to present those songs to the public so that they can hear it more frequently and then they can vote through text messages and through the website. So we have a different, like a billboard, what we call the Popularity Board. This of course will be a reference for the selection committee, but we wont really., how should I say? We respect their authority ultimately. AR: With something like American Idol, for example, it gets these huge ratings every week. How well does this show do? Do people tune in? Do people out there care about the song that gets picked? YL: I think more and more so, because this show only started in January. For the first quarter, I did struggle, because at that time the new round of entry just started so we didnt have enough new songs, but now, more and more often we have new entries, and really good ones, like we just introduced one of the entries for the torch-relay song. Its a cooperation between Hong Kongese, Taiwanese and the Chinese singers. And also singers from Malaysia, for example, and the rating is going up, because now you really have good pieces of work. AR: You were the image ambassador behind Beijings 2008 winning bid. What does it mean to you that your country is going to be playing such an amazing role on the world stage? YI.: When I was participating in the Olympic bidding, I also have friends from other countries asking me: Why do you want to give so much of your time and energy into it? Then my answer was. I hope China is going forward and never turning back. And as a citizen myself, I will benefit from that, so I want to do this. I think Olympics is not just for sports, not just a game, but its an overall political, economic as well as cultural transformation of this country. You know, look at us now, I think the government has opened for international media to do reporting freely in this country, and thats the door opened by the Olympics. And I dont suspect that door will be closed afterwards. So thats something we can experience.BPresenter#1: Think dreams can come true?

The stranger was very kind and offered his suggestion, I was also sleepless a couple of weeks ago. Then my doctor told me to find out what my problem was and solve it. I was anxious because I was supposed to sing at the New Year party and yet I have a very terrible voice. So he told me to practice singing every day until I felt comfortable with it. I followed his advice and now I feel quite all right again. So, what is your trouble? Yes, I see, answered the man sadly. My trouble is I am the man upstairs.Unit 3 Social EtiquetteABusiness is becoming increasingly more socialy oriented and old fashion qualities that bespeak education and class and indicate personal style are being ranked right up with ability by many corporate leaders. These business leaders know that making a good first impression, communicating well, under- standing the protocols of business are reflected in their bottom line.Every European culture has its nuances and subtleties, its own history, language and point of view. The same is true throughout the world and in fact there are frequently many different cultures within the same country.Every culture has its own way of doing business and networking has three simple rules. One is, prepare before you go. Find out who is going to be there, find out who you really want to meet and why you want to meet them, thats number one. Two is while you are there, make sure you go out and meet them, shake their hands well, smile, have a conversation with them and make sure that you always say goodbye if you said hello to somebody. And the third thing is, follow up afterwards.Networking is indeed important. People are your best and most valuable resource to help you reach your goals. They may become your friends, customers, employers, suppliers, or mentors. Creating a positive first impression improves your chances of success. Here are some questions to ask yourself be- fore each networking opportunity or for that matter any important meeting.1. How is my handshake ?W: Your whole arm should be extended, stand up straight.Now you see the difference first of all?M. Yeah.You feel that you have more power when you are standing straight and I believe that you really want to meet me. Slouching, poor eye contact, crossing your arms can all send negauve signals.
