A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水

Burkina Faso Polly And Hannah
- 1. Burkina-Faso By Hannah and Polly
- 2. North Atlantic Ocean Burkina-Faso is located in the north west of Africa, north of Ghana. It has no coast-lines and very little rain so drought is common. The land of Burkina-Faso is mostly flat with many plains. In the west and south-east of the country, there are many mountains over looking the land. South Atlantic Ocean
- 3. Burkina-Faso (General info) Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Therefore they now speak French. In 1984, Thomas Sankara's revolutionary government changed the name Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, therefore discarding the name the French had given their former colony. Burkina Faso is an artificial word, using linguistic elements from the country's largest languages: Burkina means "free man" in Mooré; Faso means "land" in Dyula. Burkina Faso is therefore identified as the "country of the free men.“ The capital of Burkina-Faso is Ouagadougou.
- 4. Interesting facts about Burkina-Faso Population13,925,000 CapitalOuagadougou Area274,200 square kilometres(105,869 square miles) LanguageFrench, native African languages ReligionMuslim, indigenous beliefs, Christian CurrencyCFA franc Life Expectancy45 Literacy Percent27%
- 5. Culture(food) The cuisine of Burkina-Faso, typically of west African cuisine, is based around staple foods of sorghum, millet, rice, maize, peanuts, potatoes, beans, yams and okra. The most common sources of protein are chicken, chicken eggs and fresh water fish. A typical Burkinabè beverage is Banji or Palm Wine, which is fermented palm sap. Traditional ritual ceremonies of the many ethnic groups in Burkina Faso have long involved dancing with masks. Western-style theatre became common during colonial times, heavily influenced by French theatre. With independence came a new style of theatre inspired by forum theatre aimed at educating and entertaining Burkina-Faso's rural people.
- 6. Religion The religions of this country are 50% are Muslim, 50% are Christian, and 100% are Animist. This shows the large level of acceptance of the various religions amongsteachother.

The nation's capital, Ouagadougou, was once a 15th century Mossi kingdom, one of many West African empires that ruled this area in pre-colonial times.

- 8. Housing Architecture in the metropolitan centres is essentially French. Many African people, especially the Mossi, live in round huts with conical straw roofs or in rectangular huts with flat roofs. There is a housing shortage in the urban centres due to rapid growth. In Ouagadougou, most houses are built with mud brick and/or plaster. About 10% are made with cement block. In 1991, there were about 1,399,149 households. About 92% of rural dewllings and 65% of urban housing were owner occupied.
