［1］Peer tutoring benefits many students in several ways. Peer tutors can help themselves in
understanding materials. They have to master the material themselves and come to a deeper
understanding to teach others rather than getting taught by a teacher.
［2］Peer tutors get communication and social skills by tutoring. In order to communicate the meaning
of material clearly and make it understood, they must practice the necessary skills to communicate with
other people. These skills also carry over socially as it"s much easier, especially for shy children to
communicate with someone than to communicate with a large group as in a classroom. It"s common for
the tutor and his student to become friends. Developing leadership skills, conf
idence and a sense of
responsibility is easy for a tutor. The tutor becomes a better student, gains more confidence and
understands the teacher"s role better.
［3］Those ___________ can also benefit greatly from peer tutoring. Since the tutors are of the same
age as the students, it"s more comfortable for the children who have trouble with the material and in need
of help to get taught by the same age tutors. This will allow them to ask more questions without fear and
to come to a better understanding of the material. The tutor may be able to pass on little tips and tricks
that helped him understand the material better.
［4］The process of peer tutoring works for all the related people. It"s easy to relate to someone of the
same age. The tutor learns to improve skills useful later in life. The teacher has more time to concentrate
on students. It"s a winning situation for everyone.

In the United States, engineering is a profession(职业) that has been historically under the control of
men. Even today, it"s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that"s
something on www.EngineerGirl.org encouraging girls to change the present situation. Young women who
visit the web site can find out about a great job choice they might not have considered.
"Women are not well represented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of
course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering
undergraduate degrees (本科文凭) go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers
are women."
Mary Mattis, the Nat
ional Academy of Engineering, says "we know from the research that
middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it"s a time when we need to reach them, so
this website aims to increase their awareness of interesting fields in engineering. On the other hand, it wants
to make them understand what a wonderful produ
ctive and exciting job you can have as an engineer."
Engineering is a demanding course of study-there is a lot of science and math, for many girls and even
boys that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering
can also be fun and exciting.
"It"s about designing things. It"s about changing the world for people. It"s about making a difference.
And, in addition, you can make a good living; you can be independent e
conomically by becoming an
engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get."
While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the
EngineerGirl site also emphasizes engineering jobs which are related to other fields such as bio-engineering,
sports engineering and -believe it or not-chocolate engineering.
Even if you are not a girl in the target(目标) age group, there"s a lot of interesting information on the
site, including biographies(自传)of some well-known women engineers.
