An Australian teen who escaped from a prison had an interesting request after seeing her picture on television and social media - and it's one that has drawn plenty of attention.
Amy Roger, 18, escaped from the prison near Sydney and was being sought by police. Police asked the public for help in finding the teen, and one local television station put a picture of her on their Facebook page as part of the request.
Roger took to Facebook as well and asked for just one thing: that they use a better picture of her.

录音原文
California State University San Marcos is offering a three-week summer trip titled "British Culture and Harry Potter".
While earning three credit hours (学分) , students will travel across the UK, visiting places that inspired (启发) author J.K. Rowling to create the wizard's world in Harry Potter books.
They'Il also stop by many of the places where people made the eight, hugely successful films - no transportation magic words required.
Some of the highlights include visits to Scotland Yard, which served as inspiration (灵感) for the Ministry of Magic; King's Cross Station, home to the famous Platform 93/4; Oxford University, where important scenes were filmed; and a tour of Edinburgh, Scotland, Rowling's home town.
Students may be able to try a bit of magic of their own, for the trip even promises a real broomstick (扫帚) flying lesson at a well-known castle. How? We do not know.
And yes, some British studies will be included, such as critical thinking about "social issues relating to inequality(不平等), race, and women's rights within Great Britain", the course description states.
Even if you're not a student of California State University, you can still join the trip. But for those who sign up for the trip, they'll need more than a couple gold coins. The estimated cost is about $5,152, not including air ticket.
Still, it's hard to believe students would miss the chance to earn three credits for finding out interesting details about Harry Potter's world. If you go, send a message back home with all the magical details.

录音原文
The population of Chinese students overseas has been on the rise for many years.According to a new report, over a million and a quarter Chinese students study abroad in 2015, more than any other nationality. One in four students studying abroad is Chinese.
The most popular destinations (目的地) are English-speaking countries such as the US, Australia, the UK and Canada. South Korea and Japan are also top choices. The US has remained the top destination with over 300,000 students studying there. Chinese students also account for 62% of all foreign students that study in South Korea.
Meanwhile, more students are returning home after graduation. About 400,000 students come back in 2015, an increase of over 10%. Their motivations to return include better jobs back home. More companies are offering internationally competitive pay for overseas talents.Besides, new foreign visa policies have made it easy for returnees to travel overseas again. So more students are going overseas, but at the same time more are coming home.
At the same time, there is a clear change in the age of those students studying overseas. The population is actually getting much younger in the US. For example, the number of Chinese students in undergraduate programs has for the first time become bigger than that of Chinese students who are attending graduate school. There is also a really big increase in the number of Chinese students going abroad for high school. This is due to a growing middle class here at home in China. More families can afford better education overseas.
