A: That sounds great. But I don't think it's necessary for you to study abroad simply because you like traveling. After all, studying abroad costs a lot and it is a challenge for most students.

We will feel a lot of pressure and have to count on ourselves.
B: Yes, you are right. Studing abroad isn’t suit for everyone. But for me, I like to face challenges and I think studying abroad will be a good test for our courage, independence and perseverance.

So I think whether it is good or not to study abroad depends on the individual.

5、Situation Five
Work in pairs. Read the task below and come up with a plan for business.
A: Shall we start? First of all, we need to decide the name of the company.
B: OK, well,in my opinion, the most important thing is to make sure what we want to do, and how our company will be different from others, right? So, we need to think about the theme of our tours first…
A: Exactly. But to decide on the theme, we need to consider what is characteristic of our town. For example, the metal ware, the eco-agriculture… I think we can organize a tour of the eco-agriculture in the countryside.
B: Emmm… I’m not sure that I agree. We need to think of something special, which can distinguish our tours from that of other companies. Why don’t we take advantage of the rock carvings? Our town is dotted with various rock carvings.
A: That’s a good idea. We could have our tour guides trained in this field so as to better help promote the art of rock carvings. We can even sell souvenirs such as story books and small stone statues to the visitors. Surely they will like that.

A: I’d like our company to be somewhere central, like in the center of our town, and then we can get large crowd of people so that we can have much more customers.

A: A series of multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty.
B: Sounds like any old quiz. A lot of old popular shows are designed that way.The younger generation doesn’t like this kind of programs any more.
A: Yes, it is. Let me continue it, the questions are displayed on a computer screen in front of the contestant.
B: I see. So, how does the game go on next?
A: Well, the key thing is that the cash amounts become higher as the questions become more difficult
B: The cash amounts become higher? That’ s sounds challenging, I love it.

A: After viewing a question, the contestant can choose to quit with the money already won or attempt an answer. That's the best part because the suspense will be building up and the whole audience will be holding their breath to see what will happen next.
B: I feel like I already know which show it is,let me ask you one more question.How much can the contestant win if he or she is lucky enough to answer all the question. A: The maximum cash prize is one million pounds.
B: Who wants to be a Millionaire?
A: Yes, right!
B: I used to watch this show when I was a kid,I’m a big fan to it.And I wold dream of getting on this show and winning a lot of money when I grew up.

9、Situation Nine 对考试的看法
A：Hello! Nice day today. How are you doing recently?
B：Fine.I am doing a questionnaire about examination recently. So I am thinking about this.
Do you have some your own opinion?
A：Oh, in fact, I hate examination. I think exams are a waste of time. Many college students don’t study hard throughout the semester, but they can get high scores if they spend a few days studying before the exams. Exams do not show whether students have learned what they have been taught.
B：I partially agree with you. To me, exams have weaknesses, but they are the best way to evaluate us. I think school should work to improve the quality of exams.
A：You are right. I'm not totally exclusive of examinations. In my opinion, exams are important, but the process of studying hard is more important. They are valuable just for those who study hard.
B：I agree with you. Now some students pay more attention to the results of exams. For the problems of calculating scores and making mistakes, they only think about the possible influence on scores, instead of thinking about why they made mistakes and what types of questions they did wrong.
A：Right.If we study only for the sake of an exam, the exam will lose its value.
B：Thank you for your opinion. It’s really helpful to my questionnaire.
A: You are welcome.
