One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks then Miss Richards suddenly asked, "What is water？ Who knows？ Hold up your hand."

There was silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt sad but then one boy raised his hand.

"Yes, Dick？" said Miss Richards encouragingly. He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad that this boy could answer.

"Water is a liquid which has no color until you wash your hands in it, then it turns black," the boy replied with great confidence.

41 and easily be understood by trainees. In general, you should look

42 for a training program that has done an affiliation with industry

43 leaders. For example, a course on Windows 2000 should at least

44 be approved by Microsoft. A course that has been co-developed in

45 this way ensures so that trainees will study relevant and correct

46 information. Also, take into your account the availability of practical

47 exercises. Many off-site, instructor-led programs which provide learning

48 labs for trainee practice, but take good on-site training courses can

49 include hands-on simulations that resemble to an actual networking

50 or desktop environment. This supply allows trainees to interact with

51 the programs without crashing down a live system. It also means that

52 trainees can study while at work so that less time is going missed, and production schedules are not interrupted.
