29、ave been very competitive.Unlike most modern universities,both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large numberof colleges.Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31.Many of these colleges have old andvery beautiful architecture,and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities,you need good grades

30、in the national exams taken at 18.Butto get into Oxford and Cambridge,its not enough to get A grades in your exams.You also have to go for a long interview.In these interviews,students need to showthat they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries,both universities have ma

43、 measure of your brainpower has been around for a while,but recently theres been this new idea of theEQ your emotional quotient.And by now,its actually almost being regarded asmore important.If you look at it,businesses will Well,they will prefer employingpeople with great EQ.Well,of course,IQ canno

44、t be disregarded,but um,EQ doeshave its importance as well.Uh,I believe that,um,I mean,people,most peoplewill have,um,their basic means of communicating with other people.Most peopleare somewhat socially adept,and just like most people have,you know,a basic generalknowledge.But then,what I think rea

45、lly is the difference betweenIQ and EQ,I mean,you can have a“brainiac”,and they will be great at most thingsthey do,but if you just cant get along with him,if you just cant communicatewith him,I mean,you know,hes not really that useful.KimHi.This is Kim.Im originally from Korea,and I was raised in C
