Using this scope to _______ your view can make it easier to see the distant targets.

Delta Goodrem says she's learnt a lot over the past few years. But one little nugget of wisdom she'll be taking with her when she moves to New York next month is the advice to keep her private life private. "Being in Australia and the U. K. definitely taught me a lot very young, " the 20-year-old girl said. "You make mistakes and go, okay, I need to protect myself here or I need to do this. And they(the media)can get any information they want from the past but I guess it is just a matter of keeping things more private. I don't know exactly what I have learnt. All I know is that I have a totally different perspective on things now." Goodrem, who first became a household name as Nina Tucker on Neighbours, has rented an apartment in New York with Irish singer boyfriend Brian McFadden in a bid to break into the lucrative U. S. market. She will move to the U. S. following her Visualise national tour which kicks off officially this week. "I am not moving, " Goodrem said. "I still have my home in Sydney. I am just having a place to rent(in New York)because I can't live out of a hotel. It is fine(living in hotels)but I have done it for quite a long time now and I feel like I'd like to have a base in the place I am going to be in. So Brian(McFadden)and I are renting a place. " Goodrem will release a hybrid of her first two albums, Innocent Eyes and Mistaken Identity, in the U. S. and recently did a series of showcase gigs to American music executives through her local label Sony BMG. For the moment, Goodrem is keenly focused on her first ever national tour, marking her first major live gigs since she underwent cancer treatment in 2003. The tour began with a preview show at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on Sunday but officially starts on Friday in Perth before the singer performs dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney and Hobart. "This is what I do, " she said. "This is what I have worked hard for. This is the first time I have got to do an arena show and I just want it to be really relaxed and enjoy it." Media reports leading into the tour have focused on poor ticket sales despite a number of shows selling out. But that doesn't seem to bother the singer. "As long as those people in there think it is one of the best shows they have ever been to, then I am a very lucky girl, " she said. "You don't worry if it is going to be full." Goodrem has sold millions of albums, enjoyed seven number-one singles and received eight ARIA awards from her two albums. She is undoubtedly one of the Australia's most successful recording artists ever, and with the full support of Sony BMG's U. S. label Columbia Records, Goodrem is likely to go well in the U.S.

Ii is absolutely essential that William ______ his study in spite of some learning difficulties.

(1)A conventional teacher's license usually requires a university degree in education plus an unpaid term of practice teaching. This has never made much sense. It excludes bright students who take degrees in other subjects, and might teach those subjects; it is costly and time-consuming for career-switchers, who must wait a year or more before they can enter a classroom; it is so rigid that private-school teachers or university professors with years of experience have to jump through hoops before they can start teaching in a state school. And there is virtually no evidence that it creates better teachers. For all that, it is strongly backed by schools of education, which have a monopoly of teacher-training, and by teachers' unions, whose members make more money when it is artificially hard for others to get into the profession. (2)Now, some 45 states and the Districts of Columbia offer an "alternative route" to a teacher's license, up from only a handful in the 1980s. Alternative certification (AC) generally allows individuals with a university degree to begin teaching immediately after passing an entrance examination. These recruits, watched over by a mentor teach the subject they studied at university, and take education courses at a sponsoring university while drawing their salaries. (3)The traditional sort of American teacher is likely to be young, white and female. Alternative certification attracts more men and more non-whites. In Texas, for instance, roughly 90% of public-school teachers are white, but 40% of those who have joined through alternative certification are non-whites. The AC route also draws teachers willing to go where they are most needed. A survey of Troops to Teachers, a program that turns ex-soldiers into public-school teachers ("Proud to serve again"), found that 39% of those taking part are willing to teach in inner-city schools, and 68% in rural areas. (4)Are they good teachers? Officialdom is reluctant to release the details which might answer that question for certain. But anecdotal evidence suggests they do well. In New Jersey, which has been running this sort of program since 1984, rich districts, which can afford to be choosy, consistently hire more AC teachers than poor districts do. In Houston, Texas, where the Teach of America program (TFA) puts recent university graduates into poor communities as teachers, the most effective teachers are generally the TFA ones. "School principals are our biggest fans," Wendy Kopp, TFA's president, says proudly. (5)So why not scrap the cumbersome teacher-licensing laws? Frederick Hess, a professor at the University of Virginia, has written a paper for the Progressive Policy Institute arguing that teacher-licensing ought to be stripped to the bare essentials. Prospective teachers should be required only to hold a college degree, pass a test of essential skills, and be checked to make sure they do not have a criminal background. Other training is important, argues Mr. Hess, but the market, not state legislators, should decide what that training looks like. This notion of "competitive certification" has drawn favorable attention from the administration.
