All areas of the world face a nurses shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.

The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.

Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.

Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U.S., for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O.E.C.D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.

What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?

a. The demand for nurses will decrease.

b. Many nurses will be too old to work.

c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.

d. Nurses are often looked down upon.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 1sixty hours of service learning, 2they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 3of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 4a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 5about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many 6of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 7their own interests and become 8of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 9responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 10, students can explore possible careers 11service learning.

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 12there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 13problems with the new requirement. First, they 14that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 15time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 16goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to 17to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 18, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 19to help must come from the heart. I think the best 20is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
