Which do you prefer, Chinese movies or foreign movies ? Why? Occasionally I do enjoy seeing a foreign movie. It can take my mind off to a distant land .The outlandish setting often excites ,and the different values tend to give me much food for thought .However , my lack of background information often requires ma to make too many inferences and sometimes I cannot understand certain parts of the movie, In such cases I may feel less entertained. By comparison ,I feel more at home with Chinese movies. I can enjoy associate the scene and lines with the historical background. I can readily understand witty conversation, and implied meanings. Sometimes I can even predict what is going to happen from the speaker’s tone or gesture. Still, it is true that Chinese movies cannot get compete with western movies in filming technology .I do hope the next generation of Chinese movies will make further improvement.Do you think marriages based on love are more successful than arranged marriages?Generally speaking, marriage based on love are more successful than arranged marriage .In its long history , China has witnessed many tragic events arising from arranged marriages. However, we should not go to extremes and claim that all arranged marriages are failures .After all , in the past 2000-plus years, most of the arranged marriages did survive, and some of couples did develop real love after their marriage. As for marriages based on love, they are not without problems. In the contemporary world, arranged marriages have almost disappeared. Boys and girls go out on dates and gradually develop a love between than before they get married. Strangely , the divorce rate has kept rising .And the reasons for divorce can be very simple : “we can no longer communicate with each other ve ry well” or simply “I’ve gotten bored with him or her”.In spite of the drawbacks of marriages based on love and the occasional successful of arranged marriages ,it is obvious to all that the former are more in conformity with human nature .The traditional practice of arranged marriages should not be restored. What’s your opinion of the large amounts of money spent on ads for two competing products?Both sides spend piles of money to produce cool ads, but in fact they will only cancel out each other’s ef fort. Neither side will gain .Eventually, the large sums spent on advertising will be passed to consumers.Sounds bad, doesn’t it ? But we have no alternative .If we allow ads for one product but forbid ads for another’s , this means unfair competition . As a result, one product will turn out to be successful, while other is sure to have a poor market.Should we ban ads altogether? This seems fair to all manufactures. But consumers will not have enough information about products to make a choice .Worse still, they may not even know a new product has been turned out, let alone buy it.Perhaps we had better accept ads, but we can impose restrictions on them to protect consumers’ interests. For example, an ad should not include an untruthful statement or exaggeration. Also, advertisers should not claim that their products are superior to others .Restrictions like these many partly compensate for the short comings of advertisement.Should people buy things according to what ads say?It is certainly necessary for us to look at ads, for they provide valuable information on the function, quality and price of a product .However, we should beware of ads that do not tell the truth.Comparing ads for similar products, we may become better informed and judge them more accurately.In addition to advertisements, we can depend on other consumers for information. A consumer has no personal interest in product and therefore is likely to be more objective than the advertiser.Finally, our common sense can play a role in our choice of a commodity.To summarize, we can turn to various source for help before we decide on an advertised product.What are the negative social effects of advertisement?Advertisements have negative social effects as well as economic effect , First ,the posters and billboards can block scenic views and ruin the environment , Second ,people who cannot afford the advertised product may develop a sense of inferiority , Third , as often as not, ads encourage unnecessary buying .Fourth, ads usually portray young and beautiful people .Thus older plain-looking people may feel as if they don’t belong to the contemporary world .If you think carefully ,you may find more disadvantages to advertising.Why do people have pets?People keep pets for a variety of reasons. Some feel lonely and need security. Still others buy pets just to be in fashion .Finally, some people keep animals at home just out of love or pity .Their hearts are full of love, which pours out naturally for animals as well as human.What kind of music do most people prefer, slow or fast music? Can you guess why?It is hard to come to a definite conclusion. It depends. I think this has something to do with people’ moods and personalities. A people in high spirits often enjoy quick-tempo music. When one feels blue, the choice is more likely to be slow, sad music to fit that mood. It seems to me that race may also play a role in our choice of music. Asians, like Chinese ,Japanese and Koreans often enjoy slow melodies, The famous “Liang zhu”or”The Romance of the Butterf ly,” is a case in point .When we move westward, to India and Europe, for example ,we can easily observe the differences for the musical rhythm there suddenly accelerates, and the music becomes more lively and upbeat.What do you think of girls wearing miniskirts?After you have finished listening to the whole unit, you may find that opinions are divided on this issue. Some people believe that good girls should never wear a miniskirt because it is too revealing .On the other hand, there are girls who prefer to break with tradition, play a new, independent role in society, and therefore they choose to wear something daring and rebellious such as a miniskirt. As for me, I’m in favor of the former point of view and don’t like those who wear a mi niskirt.(I support the latter point of view ,for we have to advance the times)Do you think people react to you differently when you wear differentclothes?Some people do treat me differently according to what I’m wearing .They are often called snobs .Fortunately ,those people de not represent the majority .Most people judge you by your ability ,intelligence and moral integrity rather than by the clothes you’re wearing.。
