You may consider your smartphone's camera as a substitute when you don't havt1 your “real” carriers with you i but the fact is, smart phone camera technology has become so complex that the pictures you take on your mobile device may be matchable lo those you shoot with a standalone digital camera. Plus, your smartphone camera travels with you almost everywhere. What better way lo capture (捕捉)the unexpected moments of your life that could be the ones you love best?
Try these simple and affordable tips to control and use the power of your smartphone's camera,and capture a quality image for every moment you want to preserve.
Smartphone cameras enable you to snap (拍照)an image at a moment's notice, but the slim design of mobile devices can make it tough to hold the camera steady enough to capture a clear image. Many of us take less time to get the shot with smart phones than with fancier cameras, and this can lead to out-of-focus images we're unhappy with. Simply taking a few moments to stop and hold the camera—and ourselves—still cm make a big difference. Using the volume (音量) button on the side of your smartphone to snap images instead of the camera's on-screen button can also reduce hand movement and impmvc the quality of your shots.
Your smartphone's camera can measure light automatically, but most smartphone camera lenses (镜片)limit your focal length and depth. With quality lighting, your camera is able to capture quality images. Whether you're snapping pictures indoors or outside, pay attention to light sources and how they hit your photos subject. Be especially mindful of dark shadows across people's faces, which can appear less attractive in pictures. Additionally,a flashlight from a different phone can light your subject from m angle which will result in a better image than relying on your smartphone camera's flash. Instead of getting a flat, washed-out look, the subject looks dynamit and attractive.
Just as your smartphone doesn't always know what you most want to capture in m image, the strongest composition of ten comes from simplicity. Before you snap, take a look at the background “noise” your image will include, such as passersby,pictures on a wall behind the subject and moving cars. Don't try to capture too much all in one photo. Walk closer to help remove objects that don't add to the scene. Choosing cootrasling colours between your subject and the background elements in an image can increase the wow factor of your smartphonc pictures, too.

In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism--the difference among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students don't memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another in assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules of information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that there much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575. 000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space, District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
