A：Winter holiday is coming, what are you going to do?
B: I will go back to my hometown. When I was a child, my family moved to another city. In every winter holiday, my parents would take me to visit my grandparents. How about you?
A: I won`t go to anywhere. I will stay at home with my parents and my brother.
Maybe my brother and I will go to play badminton.
B: Yeah. With the development of economy, the pressure on people becomes heavy. In order to relax the pressure, people always have
entertainment and relax themselves in holiday.
A: Yeah, I agree with your opinion. In China, there are many traditional holidays, such as spring festival, middle autumn festival, national day and so on. Government will give us a holiday in festival.
B: As we all know, we can reflex ourselves in holiday, but it also will lead to some problems.

travel abroad, you see.

Environment
A: Are there any environment problems in your country?
B: Yes. I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution.
A: Em... The air in your country is much more polluted than in my country.
Of course, my country is more agricultural and has less industry. B: We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years, but cars are still a major source of them. Factories have become cleaner as the strict environment pollution law.
A: Yeah. We need to solve the problem of air pollution before we destroy the atmosphere. There`s lots of clean, modern technology, but
companies in developed countries say it`s expensive. Developing countries put more emphasis on economic development than on
environment protection.
B: Everyone is looking at the issue in the short term, rather than the long term. It`s the same with the destruction of the rainforests.
Countries and companies just want the wood. They`re not thinking about the long-term damage to the forests. We should also remember that the forests are an important natural habitat for thousands of species of animal and plant life. And it`s important for our air, too.
A: The problem is now on a truly global scale. I don`t believe that we can solve them all by ourselves. There needs to be an international cooperation response to this problem.
B: I hope that world leaders can get together and agree on a plan for action.
A: Me, too.
Education

B: First, You need to decide whether you`d choose a public college or a private one.
A: Is there any difference?
B: Yes. Private colleges usually have good conditions in every aspect, but the tuition is very high. So I applied for a public one which offered me scholarship. But if you want to have some advanced
education, you can choose a famous private college.
A: What about colleges in china?
B: It is very different. The public colleges in china have the best condition and excellent teachers. Most of youths want to be there, such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. Compared with the public universities, the private colleges are not very popular for students in china.
A: Oh, it`s very interesting.
B: Which one your brother wants most?
A: I don`t know. Maybe he likes an abroad college. Your suggestion is very useful to me. Thanks a lot.
B: It`s my pleasure.
工作 jobs

condition or chances to be promoted?

As you know, my parents don`t have stable jobs, in order to support my school, they spent all their savings. I want to repay them as soon as quickly. I want to let them live a good life.
A: You are right. But in my point of view, the chances to be promoted are the most important. You know, with the promotion of position, our salary will continue to rise also. At that time, high salary won`t be a problem.

B: "I only use online chats and emails. So who do you call most often?" A: "The ones I usually call are mostly business partners. I always have to set up business meetings with them."
B: "That sounds intense. But do you like it? "
A: "I actually like it a lot, things get communicated easier and more straightforward, I think it`s better than messages because if there is any problem, talking to each other can eliminate lots of
misunderstandings."
B:"I see, maybe I should start to use my phone to communicate too. Is there any particular manner in phone calls? You know I am not good with people."
A: "yeah, it depends what I think. If you are making business phone calls, try to be as formal as possible. First you need to greet the person you are talking to, and introduce yourself, including your name, title, and company, then go directly to the point. But please keep as nice as possible."
B: "I see, I`ve learned a lot today about phone calls, thank you so much.
Maybe I can change my occupation to secretary when I get tired of being
a technician."

Culture
A: Good morning.
B: Good morning. I heard you are from USA. Are you an international student？
A: Yeah, I am studying here. This is my first year in China.
B: Are you getting used to your life in China?
A: it is hard, because of the culture difference. I was growing up in US, and it is my first to study abroad, so I guess it still takes me some more time to get used it.
B: what is the most difficult thing for you to live here? Perhaps I can help you.
A: Oh, really? That's sweet. I guess the most difficult thing is the custom.
For example, in western culture close friends and even family members thank each other for the slightest help or favor. But in china, a simple task like opening a door or filling out a form is seen as expected behavior among friends. There is no need to thank!
B: That’s true.
A：I’m quiet afraid to do something unplait to my Chinese classmates just because of custom difference.
B：I can totally understand it, It happened to me when I learnt English before. I think you can read books about or search the internet to know more about Chinese customs. Also you'd better to meet some
Chinese guys and talk to them，you can learn more by communicating A:Umm. Good idea！

A: Exactly. Thank you for your advice.
B: Oh, it is all right.
How to keep healthy

B: Don`t worry. I think you are only overweight. Too fat is bad for your health.
A: How to lose weight? I try to do it. But every time I forget it.
B: I think the best way to lose weight is doing exercises. Such as running, play tennis, soccer, and you can have a balanced diet.
A: Do you mean I must have the only meal in a day and I can`t eat meat? B: No, it isn`t what you imagine. What you must to do is to eat more vegetable than meat, and eat food high in fiber, low in fat. And the most important thing is that you must eat less sweet.
A: Is sweet the most bad for my health?
B: Yes, I think it is. Too many sweets will make you fat, and it is also bad for your teeth.
