American individualism and Japanese collectivismA：Hi, I heard that you are going to start a business after graduation.B：Yeah, I just have an idea. And some time ago, I attended the SYB of our school. Do you hear of American individualism and Japanese collectivism. I think it is worth to have a comparison in contemporary society.A：yes, of course. The individualism and collectivism play an important role In our daily life, especially in the company.B：So, do you know how values of Americans and Japanese evolve? A：know about it a little. The American value evolves from Hunting Societies, in which the accent was autonomy and individualism. The Japanese value comes from Planting Societies. Only a dozen families working together can produce a surplus. And the notion of interrelation, interconnection and interdependence was contributed.B：Yeah, you are right. And as we all know, Japan often suffer from natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Maybe it is also an very important historical reason.A: Do you think which one can play a more important role in modern society? B：Both American value and Japanese value have produced very successful results. But I believe that with economic development, neither individualism nor collectivism can meet the demands of the global community alone.A: yes, I agree with you. Extremely speaking, individualism can make us indifferent and cynical to others, and the society will lack harmony.

Science is to be valued because it gives us control over our fate and poetry makes nothing happen.A：Hi, do you have heard of the saying that Science is to be valued because it gives us control over our fate and poetry makes nothing happen.B：Yes, of course.

Scientific technology also makes our living condition more comfortable and prosperous. But poetry cannot bring it.A：Science actually plays a very important role in our daily life. It can help us to leave the disaster away. But I think that poetry doesn’t make nothing happen. B：Can you say something which poetry can give us in our daily life？A：Perhaps poetry can not meet our material desire, but it can sublimate our spirit life. Human being is a kind of animal with various emotions. our pursue and emotion can be expressed through poetry. And a poetry can also infect our feeling.B：You are right. In the age of pursuing material living, we should carry on the humane spirit education more. And poetry reading and creation is a good way, which must promote our passion.A：Poetry reading and creation are common in our childhood. But now it is becoming harder and harder to see it.B：Please don’t quit our spirit world.03. Money Is Not EverythingA：Recent years, the discussion of money graduately become one of hot issues.B：Yeah, with the development of society and the increase of wealth, people have different attitudes to money, someone even think money is everything.A：That’s because almost all material things around us can be bought with money.B：Imagine a person has enough money to buy anything and everything he wants, but can you imagine such a person could be truly happy and fulfilled?A：I think they don’t. In fact, Money is a medium of exchange to acquire any services or material things that we want or need.B：But unfortunately, for many people, money is everything. They believe that having a lot of money can bring them to the satisfaction of which they have dreamed.A：These people have been controlled by money, they try everything to earn money through all kinds of ways which maybe not legal.B：Money can be acquired in many legal ways. Most people will work to earn money. Some will create a business to accumulate and increase the amount of money they have.A：But the worst thing of all is that a person would risk his own life and dignity to have money. They think of money as everything to their lives, but they are wrong.B：I really agree with your point of view. The reality that we should accept is that we need money, but it does not the only reason of our existence. Money is important, but it is not everything.A：Yeah, there are many factors that can enrich our lives, such as family, friends, and even our new acquaintances. They can help us grow and reach our goals.B：We should remember that money is only a material thing. It is created for our convenience, but it should be used for good.A：You are right, money is good but loving it makes it bad. we should work not only for the reason of receiving but also for the reason of giving. Money is indeed important, but it is not everything.04. Causes of OverpopulationA：In this century, overpopulation is one of the most serious threats to mankind.B：But, viewing the issue of increasing population optimistically, one may say that overpopulation means the increase in human resources. A：we cannot ignore the fact that greater number of people requires a greater number of resources. Overpopulation implies deficiency of resources and economic inflation.B：You are right, in fact, we are facing the effects of overpopulation in our daily lives. it has proved to be one of the gravest difficulties that have to be fought.A：so,it's high time that we find the causes of overpopulation and work on them.B：In your opinion, what is the main factors that lead to overpopulation? A：I think the decline in mortality rate is one fundamental cause of overpopulation. Owing to the advancements in modern medicine, man has found cures to various illnesses, this has resulted in an increase in the life expectancy of individuals. Mortality rate has declined leading to an increase in population.B：Correspondently, medicines and treatments of today can boost the birth rate in human beings. Thus, advances in medicine have become a cause of overpopulation.A：Another factor we must consider is that the lack of Education.B：Why do you say that?A：Those lacking education fail to understand the need to prevent excessive growth of population. They are unable to understand the harmful effects that overpopulation has. They are unaware of the ways to control population.B：yeah, there’s no denying that lack of family planning is commonly seen in the countries where education is underdeveloped.A：So, in my view, lack of education is one of the major factors leading to overpopulation.05. Advantages and Disadvantages of the InternetA：With the progress of science and technology,internet has been widely used in our life, our learning and our work.B：Yeah, at the same time, the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet have been discussed In various occasions.A：There is no denying that Internet has brought us with many new ideas and more effective ways to complete our work.B：That is right, such as communication and entertainment. We can communicate in a fraction of second with a person who is sitting in the other part of the world ,and you can share your thoughts with him.A：as you mentioned, with help of such Internet service ,we can exchange thoughts with others, meanwhile, I think Information is probably the biggest advantage internet is offering.B：En,there is a huge amount of information available on the internet. You can find any kind of information that you are looking for with the help of search engines, like Google, yahoo and baidu.A：Yeah, including various of entertainment. In fact, the Internet has been successfully used by people to find musics, films, news and more forms of entertainment .B：We can list many advantages of internet, but at the same time, the negative aspects of internet we must consider,such as the leakage of personal information, and virus['vaiərəs] threat.A：That is a painful problem, If you use the Internet, you may be facing grave danger as your personal information such as name, address, credit card number can be accessed by hackers.B：What's even worse is virus['vaiərəs]. Computers attached to internet are more likely to virus attacks and they can crash your important date. A：That’s really hateful.

大学英语口语考试试题-10个口语话题
(1) 视听说 2 Unit1How does music affect our life?Music greatly affects our personal moods. Music can calm and revitalize us in a variety of ways. It elevates our moods above our personal fears and doubts and even reduces stress and pain levels. Music always exists in our life. Mothers usually sing smoothing songs to make their children get to sleep. At a sports meeting, fast and vigorous songs are played in order to lift athletes up. What’s more, quite a few students prefer to listen to a walkman while they are doing their homework. In a word, putting additional music in our life can be a powerfully enriching tool. (2) 视听说2 Unit2 T oday’s MoviesSeveral things are missing in today's movies: (1) Although there were some good romantic comedies in the 90's, there are very few today that really rival the screwball shows of the 30's and 40's.(2)Now that technical abilities have increased so dramatically with the development of computer graphics, too often special effects take the place of character development and the creation of a desirable and believable alternate world.(3) The element of fantasy is also missing(4)it leads us to star power.(3) 视听说 2 Unit3 Please talk about wedding ceremonies in China and in the U.S. In china, many Chinese believe that marriage is a major event in life, and they choose to spend a lot of money to celebrate it. Usually, the couple invites a large number of guests, who are seated at ten or more dining tables. The bride and the groom toast each other and the guests cheer. The parents of the couple may give speeches to express thanks to each other for bringing up such a nice young man or girl. Also, they wish the couple will love each other for life. The groom and the bride may also thank their parents. Weddings in the u.s vary as much as the people do, but church wedding is popular. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar, the bride and the groom exchange vows, then they exchange rings.(4)Ads in my eyes Every coin has two sides. Ads have positive effects as well as negative effects. On the one hand, through ads, we can know a new product and get information about products to make a choice. On the other hand, the large amounts of money spent on ads, of course, will be passed on consumers. What's more, producers often exaggerate their products. Misleading a lot of people to buy products. It also causes negative social effects. For example, The posters ruin the environment; ads usually encourage unnecessary buying; ads usually portray young and beautiful people, thus older, plain-looking people may feeling as if they do not belong to contemporary world, and so on. (5) 视听说 2 Unit5 What animals are usually kept as pets? Why? Dogs and cats usually kept as pets. Because dogs loyal to their owners and intelligent. They can carry out human instructions and perform fairly complicated functions. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master. Cats are also popular to be kept as pets, because cats have soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, making people like them. What’s more, cats can bring a lot of pleasure to people by funny behaviors.(6) 视听说2 Unit6 Do you think fashion shows are necessary in today’s society? Why or why not?No, I don’t think so. Obviously fashion shows have been around for a long time in a various parts of the world. This fact shows that they are an indispensable part of the modern culture. However, I’d like to point out that the pursuit of fashion should not take up the greater part of our lives. After all, work and study are far more important than fashion shows.(7) 视听说 2 Unit7 What is your opinion of money? In my opinion, money can both benefit people and do harm to them. On the one hand, we can＇ deny that money is useful. We need money to buy t food, buy a house or pay our education cost. Money can make us live more comfortably. For example, with more money, we can help others and take part in more social activities and receive a good education, thus increasing our knowledge and developing our skills. On the other hand, some people try to get money by dishonest means, for example, they often cheat and gemble, even rob and kill people. Sooner or later, they will be punished by the law. Money can bring them nothing but misery.(8) 视听说 2 Unit8 Why do people commit crimes? What causes are especially important? Why? Many factors contribute to crime, such as poverty, the gap betweenthe rich and the poor, lack of education, emotional outbreaks and loose law enforcement. If one suddenly gets angry, he may be control over himself and injure or even kill people. Uneducated people may not know what punishments there are and go ahead boldly and foolishly. But lack of education is often linked with a lack of money. Poor people mayfeel miserable, and ill-feelings breed crime. Clearly, the widening gap between the rich and the poor plays a significant role in crime levels. Some people may commit crimes because of emotional outbreaks. Such people need a strong government and strict low enforcement to help them think twice before they leap. T o conclude, the gap between the rich and the poor and loose law enforcement may be especially important cause of crime.。
Test of Spoken English (TSE)华中科技大学英语口语考试
T est of Spoken English (TSE)1. Enjou your feelingsIn our life,it can’t be ignored to meet with anger,sadness,happiness and so on.When we keep company with others,every action is a reflection of our feelings.As though there is a relationship between reason and emotion,who can promise to control them freely by themselves,especially in a dabate?For example ,in a debate,your partner disagrees with you in some views,and you are of confidence on what you insist on.Then a long discussion without any results will be easy to make you flare up.The multinational you are doing your field project at offers you a job at a good starting salary ,then you will be on top of the world .No matter what you are doing ,such ad walking,eating,talking,even sleeping ,you cann’t help to smile.So,just enjoy your feeling,either sorrow or happiness.Question:How will you do when you want to cry ,let it go or prevent it?If I were in that case,I would cry to my heart's content in a quiet place without anyone around.In my eye’s ,cry is just a way to release my inner emotion,not a representation of weakness or somethings else.There is no reason for me to prevent it.2. Beauty can be boughtNowadays ,we can buy manythings,including beauty.Beautiful clothes of big-name brand dress us fashionable,and expensive skin care products make us look more beautiful.What’s more ,pastic surgery can even improve one’s appearance greatly.There is no doubt that such treasures for beauty costs a lot of money.But what it matters for a girl or boy loving beauty? Not only the young ,bu also the adultso afford much for beauty,Beacause an employee with a beautiful appearance will be more competitive in the job market and be so faced（有面子）.If I had a lot of money ,I would pay more for something that will make my heart more beautiful.For example,I will do something polished（优雅的）,such as playing piano and golf for myself.For society,I will pick up much money to those in need.In my opinion,those with beautiful heart is the most beautiful,no matter how much money it costs.3. Watch out when nature strikes back.As we all know,there are many natural disasters taking place on the earth.Once occur ,they will cause lots of damage.Take the earthquake of Japan as an example.The road is destroyed.The buildings are falling down.Further more it may cause tasunami and a nuclear leakage accident.Because of these, tens of thousands of people lose their life and thousands of homeless people.For example ,Theren is an awful affair that a great earthquake hit Japan this year.What is worse,the earthquake led to a nuclear leakage accident which really destroyed the environment around.Even though we can’t prevent it from taking place,we can decrease the lose.Many unusual phonomenna will occur before the earthquake,.For example,lots of frogs will appear on the road,and dogs will bark unusually.From these,we can predict its coming . Although the disasters is terrible,it is no use to complain and be afraid when nature strikes back.What we need to do is to bravely face up with disasters.4. Is work just another four-letter word?It’s not far away for us to be fresh from our college .And we have to face up with the job market.What I want to say is the attitude to work: work isn’t just another four-letter word. Itmeans that work is action ,not a word.No matter whether we are diligent or efficient, manifesting（/'mænifest/ 表现出）an excellent ability to prioritize([prai'ɔritaiz] vt. 把…区分优先次序) and to work under pressure.,there is no doubt that we keep getting along well with our colleagues, demonstrating a good spirit of teamwork.And we should perform well to get promotion,take on some new responsibilities.Only do we really do something ,will we get something in the work.Arguments for “Live to Work”Some people live to work. They want to have a fulfilling profession.Work that is worth doing gives mental satisfaction to the doer, and brings social and personal esteem.One should always enjoy what one does even if the salary is low. It is our duty to contribute to society.Whatever one does is a creative experience, even cooking, sewing, and other “do it yourself” activities.We shouldn’t regard work merely as a money-making process. We should take a wider perspective on work.To work is a human need and a unique human characteristic.Only when we live to work do we live nobly.Arguments for “Work to Live”Some people work to live. Work is a means to an end. It is only a way to make money.People who works to live has a very strong sense of responsibility for his/her family and himself/herself as well.Work should not rule one’s life. As soon as one arrives home from work, one should forget about the office.For most people the major reason for working is that people need to keep themselves alive, to pay for somewhere to live, to pay for food and children education.Making money, not work itself, is gratifying and exciting. People’s lies are actually geared toward this because the amount of money one earns symbolizes his/her position in society.If people live to work, they will become work addicts. For them, work becomes an end in itself, a way to escape from their family, inner life, and society.Tips: proverbsAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Many hands make light work.Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup).A bad workman always blames his tools.Make hay while the sun shines.Work makes the workman.Work has a bitter root but sweet fruit.A work ill done must be twice done.5. Distant pastures(['pɑ:stʃə] n. 牧场；牧草) are always greener.(这山望着那山高)Distant pastures are always greener than here.Maybe It tells us that something wecan’t get is the most precious.For us, this idiom is a perfect reflection on our envy of our neighbor, so to speak. It’s the self-pitying sentiment(态度) we often entertain, that jobs and station in life in general are imperfect, inadequate and intolerable while other people seem to have all the fun.Job-hunters, for exa mple are often described as looking for “greener grass”, or “greener pastures”.They are always worried the job doesn’t satisfy their ambition,and wish another job with more salary.Actually ,there isn’t wrong for anyone to follow the better,or search the preferable.What we need to do is to control the ambition,and enough is enough(适可而止).In a word, value what we have here and now,and we will live with each other in harmony.QUESTION:After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree?Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they cannot get from books. When they move on to a higher level job one day, then, they will already have experience in that field. At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master’s degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master’s degree or even a PhD. And we all know, knowledge is power. Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall. In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.Tips:(Humor)One of the most tactful men I ever knew was the man who fired me from my first job. He called me in and said, “Son, I don’t know how we’re going to get along without you, but starting Monday, we’re going to try.”6. The truth can be stranger than fiction.The truth always incites(勾起) curiosity among us，and leaves suspended interest to us.There are many truths can be interesting.For example,Is it really bad luck ,how the Stonehenge was constructed,is there any relationship between superstitions(迷信) and real life,or whether ETs exist?Actually, many of those are still unanswered,due to the limit of technology.Tips: Two brothers were watching a horror film on video late one night. One brother dozed off and dreamed that he was being chased by the crazy man from the movie, who was trying to kill him. In the dream, he hid in a cupboard. There was no sound except his heart pounding, and he had no idea where his crazed captor was. He was terrified! At that moment, the video finished, and his brother put his hand on the shoulder of his sleeping sibling to wake him. The shock at that tense moment was enough that the sleeping brother suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly.。

On the morning of his wedding day, the groom arrives at his bride’s home on the way to the wedding chapel.

In some families, the wedding couple serves tea to both sets of parents while kneeling in front of them, a symbolic gesture of asking for permission.

Even more parents think of the Internet as a bad influence in their children's lives, which is all because there are many examples of students who have given up their studies or even become bad as a result of having got into the habit of surfing on the Internet.From my point of view, the Internet is not so dangerous to the young generation. First, the Internet plays a very important role in the modernization of our world. I f we can’t use the Internet, we won’t keep up with the pace of the E-time. Second, the Internet can help us a lot in our work and studies if we properly used. Finally, the Internet can entertain us with fun stories,games literature and so on as relaxation thus we can combine study with joy. So we can reach the conclusion that the Internet is not dangerous to children.And to prevent the cons of Internet, we can do something.Make rules for Internet use with your parents .For example, when you can go on line, for how long and what activities you can go on line.Don‘t give your password to anyone else ,and never give out the following information ---your real name , home address ,age ,school ,phone number or other personal information.If something you see or read online makes you uncomfortable, leave the site. Tell a parent or teacher right away.Never use bad language.Remember –not everything you read on the Internet is true.6.√A family holiday I went on when I was a child. (Unit 8)I still remember that my family went to Xiamen for vacation when I was a child. Till now, I still believe it is the most interesting place that I have ever visited. It left us a great impression. We went there by bus with my parents’ friends. The family has a daughter as young as me, so we had fun together very joyful. The scenery is charming. We climbed mountains, visited the famous temples, went to the beach and swam in the sea. And in this trip to Xiamen, it was my first to enjoy the breath of the sea. I was shocked by the beautiful scenery that the sea assumed at that time. What made me feel most interested in the city is that people there are extremely friendly and hospitable. Since it was our first time there, we were not familiar with where to go. When we asked local people where we should go, they told us the direction very patiently. And after they knew it is the first time we went to Xiamen, they told us many places which were worthy going, and showed us the store that owned the delicious traditional food .I was really surprised by their hospitality and friendliness. This trip was the first one that I went on together with my family members, in that trip, I felt very happy, and I understand the happiness of sharing things and enjoying beautiful scenery together. Although the worst point is that there are so many people in the places of interest, I am so rejoice that I had been there when I was a child, because now Xiamen is excessively commercialized than that time and is has lost some original thing.7.The most important qualities I value in my future partner. (Unit 9)In my opinion, the one that I want to be with for my rest of my life should be some one that makes an equal in the relationship that trusts me to have his back - to share and be equal advisor not only for him but me - someone that allows me to be his strength and resource as equally as he is to me.The person that values me as a person so much that my respect and value in them is also nurturedthis is important to me cause love needs nurturing so if something happens to my spouse health or the strength to stand beside him to be not his crutch but his life support and expect equally the same think the marriage of Christopher Reeves and His wife she stood by him - and fought everyday to let her know how much he valued her he fought as long and hard to be more that a man in a wheel chair - he fought to be a husband & father - that's I know weird but believe in the soul mate and staying in it for keeps.Above all, I would say that the most important qualities I value in my future patner: Slow to anger, good with children (wants to be a father and family man), considerate and thoughtful with his wife's feelings, honest, good work ethic, willing to discuss issues and find balance and compromise when needed. These are the major qualities that I find make a good mate, it's also important to make sure that you can live with his weakness, because we all have them and it's a great thing if you don't mind his.8.√A love story that impressed me most.

Rose gets saved by one lifeboat that comes back and when Immigration Officer asks Rose what her name is and she says her name is Rose Dawson. 84 years later Rose tells the story about her life on Titanic to her grand daughter and friends and explains the first sight of Jack that falls into love, then into a fight for survival.Facing dead, Rose instead of getting into the boat she has chosen to be with Jack together. And for Jack even at the time going to die he stills feel lucky that he got the ticket so that he could meet Rose.It's the love which keeps Rose's life on, and it's the love which indicates the worth of Jack's life.At the end of the film the old Rose throws the diamond into the water instead of handing it over.For her it's the only memory which could remind her of Jack, as thediamond falls into the water, the love of Rose comes also with it till it gets the bottom of the ocean9.√A film that I like most. (Unit 11)For many times I’ve saw the film. Every time I am deeply touched, every time from different sites.Facing dead, different people have different indications. For the designer and the Captain of Titanic it’s their faul t to let it sink. For the third class people, it’s a lucky thing to get the chance into the lifeboat for survive. For Cal it’s still the time to use his money to drive people help him. For Rose instead of getting into the boat she has chosen to be with Jack together. And for Jack even at the time going to die he stills feel lucky that he got the ticket so that he could meet Rose.Titanic enriches us with a romantic story of young love, passion and feelings, full of utopias and dreams, mother and child fighting for power and greed, idealistic andself-identified clashes within a consenting human ambitions society and victims of their own vanity and pomposity. This is one of the films that most shocked the general public in the last twenty years. The huge collections that are logical because they got obvious that Titanic has one of those stories full of strength and feeling, with great dramatic content. If we add the stunning beauty of the image, thanks to advances in digital technology, success is understandable. Very successful movie, which tells the story of the sinking of the ship, but in the background shows a passionate love story. It achieves a harmonious balance in that, in the mix of history and feelings, and makes it almost perfect.10.√My favorite teacher at school. (Unit 12)Among all of my teachers, my favorite teacher is the one that teaches me Math in my junior high school and she also is the teacher in charge of our class for three years. She has been a teacher for more than twelve years. She is in her late thirties. She is slim with long curly hair. She is extremely kind, friendly and generous. She can always make her class interesting, every time I will take an active part in it and enjoy the class very much. She is not only our teacher but also our best friend. When I have any problems in my daily life, including those like quarrelling with classmates, I can turn to her for help, and she will always give me some very good suggestions. And after getting advice from her, I cheer myself up and feel very happy. Besides, she often helps us with our Math after class, when we have some questions to ask her, she is very patient to help us solve the problem, maybe for this reason most of my classmates get good grades in final exam. She works so hard that sometimes she prepares her lessons at home till midnight. She likes reading dressing and traveling. She is modest and knows a lot, sometimes she will share some of her life experience or some interesting things happened in her trip with us, and every time we got so inspired for these kinds of stories.

However, only respect is not enough. If you want to be popular, you should always understand and tolerate others.B: Secondly, just open your mind and be warm. When we get into a new environment, we need be more active in orde r to make friends and get to know new things. And a perso n with a warm heart is welcomed.

In my opinion, first we should respect others, as an old saying: if you want others to respect you, you need respect others first. Second, we shouldn’t be selfish. If we are selfish we can’t make a true frie nd. Third, we should listen to others’ opinion with an open mind and be ready to help others.

However, it will also bring some negative effects. Aswe all know, more and more traffic accidents happen every now and then because of high traffic volume, lagging infrastructures such as inadequate and incompetent road designs, lack of meaningful driver education and testing and a system of traffic enforcement. Many bad and dangerous drivers are not skillful enough and irresponsible. I think the best way to avoid traffic accidents is education for Drivers’ self-discipline and for pedestrians’ self-protection! Those measures, such as strict and effective officialmonitoring and management, strict rule implementation, severe punishment, are indispensable. As a driver, we should obey traffic rules all the time. Do not drive too fast in case of tailgating; do not use cell-phones during driving; stop aggressive driving habits such as running the red light or sudden changing lane! If there were an accident, what would we do? First of all, you should stop your car and take some deep breaths to get calm, never hit-and-run. Second, keep yourself and others safe and report to the accident police and call your insurance company. It is important to take the emergency kit with you all the time in your car. So keeping safety in mind is cherishing our own life!Topic 5 TravelingSub-topic 1:Where do you dream to travel to? Why?Egyptian pyramids is the place that I want to go evenin my dream.

Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries. The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches to relax. For another example, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic. Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing.Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit.

You must arrive in plenty of time for the interview,so that you give yourself a littletime to relax before the interview begins.The impression you make as you walk into the room is very important. Try to find out if thecompany or organization has rules about dress. Then try to dress according to their regulations.You also need to plan what you are going to say. In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience. You need to have answers ready about yourself, your schoolwork, your strong points, your reasons for applying for the job, and the salary you expect.You will also be allowed to ask some questions of your own. The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position. You can ask questions like these. What duties will I have to do in the job? Will I be allowed to join a health insurance program? Does the company provide opportunities for further education?Graduates’ pressure in finding jobsNowadays, more and more university graduates complain that graduation does not equate to employment. They experience great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs. What is the cause of this phenomenon.In my opinion, there are four causes:First, graduates lack experience. They spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and lack relevant job training. Only after graduation do they realize it’s hard to find jobs.Second, competition among graduates grows more bitter and more bitter and bitter. The supply of university graduates exceeds social demand. This results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. From .Third, some st udents don’t study hard. Some of them skip classes just because they have no interest in certain subjects. Some play computer games or pursue other interests. Some sleep in class or in the library. Then they leave the sheltered environment of the universit y campus, to discover they don’t have adequate knowledge to apply for many positions, which makes them feel lost and frustrated. Finally, some graduates are conceited. They lack experience but ask for a high salary, which is impractical.So, university students should try their best to change this situation. When they are in school, they should make the most of their time and put their heart into their studies. They can hold part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant work experience. They should take part in some social activities and provide themselves with special training, if possible. When they graduate and apply for jobs, they should attach more importance to accumulating experience than to their starting salary.On University Students’ Pressure in Finding JobsAbout a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory and enviable jobs after their graduation. But now, things are different. Today's university students usually have much pressure in finding fairly good jobs. They always say disappointedly that graduation means joblessness. Why nowadays university students have so much pressure in finding jobs?In my opinion, this kind of pressure is mainly caused by three reasons. Firstly, the government is enrolling more and more university students year by year. And the growth of the students' number has surpassed that of the need of the society. So, when so many students graduate at a time, the chance of finding jobs becomes tiny. Secondly, today's university students, most of them are the "only-child", who are more mentally frail. Since they are indulged greatly at home and haven't been trained to do things on their own, once it is their turn to go out of the campus and find jobs by themselves and decide what kind of jobs to choose, they feel bewildered and don't know what to do. If their first try fails, they will be frustrated and think that it is really hard to find jobs. Thirdly, some university students are not qualified for good and challenging jobs. After entering the university, they don't study as hard as they did in high schools. They begin to sleep during the class or even be absent for classes. Some are addicted to computer games or Jin Yong's novels, or step into the two-person-world too early. Because these things have taken up so much of their time and energy, their study is neglected. After four years of university life, they haven't gained the knowledge those fairly good jobs or certain positions require.（4）The importance of a good international relationship（5）Thekeyfactorsfor successAs a saying goes, success is equal to %99 sweat plus 1% inspiration.It's true that if you want to succeed , you have to work hard.As all of us know, a strong will, perseverance , confidence and diligence. .. Are the e ssentials factors of success. Firstly I think man of strong will and perseverance always has an aggressive spirit. He can stick to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Se condly he should be full of confidence . He shows no frustration and powerlessness in the face of difficulty, but with confidence and strength soar he is ready to meet the next difficulty. So, believe yourself and trust yourself is the most important thing. Fin d something you really interest and trying to do it until then you will find everything i s so easy. Because you begin to take your first step, don't worry and keep learning also don't give it up. Thirdly diligence plays an important role on the way to our success. As the saying goes: "Diligence is the means by which one makes up for one's dullness ". And life is short and we have too much to do . Without diligence, no one can achiev e anything. What's more, modesty is also one of the factors to one's success. There is an old saying: "Modesty helps one to progress andpride makes one leg behind. " Ever yone has his own strong points of which he may have too high an opinion. Theimportant thing is to be modest and learn from others'strong points. A modest person never hesitates to consult those who are inferior to him. For he understands thatthe range of knowledge is larger .In a word, a man who wants to be triumphant must have a strong will, be confident, be diligent. As a saying goes: "no pains, no gains! "Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiates from youlike sunlight,and attracts success to you like a magnet.It's important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under any circumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The belief keeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will get them. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comes from a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting life happen.One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you.Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength and integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and live your life with confidence.Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort and self-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power to change it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live your priorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment with your priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the life you want.（6）It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see typical beautiful scenery of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries.The main reason why people travel is, perhaps for pleasure. For instance, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a weekend trip to the nearby mountains or beaches a real relaxation. For another example, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found laterin your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book.（7）1. Do you think marriages based on love are more successful than arranged marriages?（1）Yes, I think marriages based on love are more successful than arranged marriages. We can’t be happy if we get married without love. Although arranged marriages will get the support of our parents, but marry someone we don’t understand is really terrible. Furthermore, arranged marriages have a higher divorce rate. In a word, marriages based on love are more successful.（2）No, I think arranged marriages are more successful than marriages based on love. Our parents hope us to be matched for marriage(门当户对), it contains their love for us. What’s more? They have a lot of experience on insight into others, so they can’t be wrong.2. Where do you want to go to prepare for your marriage? And why?（1）I’d rather stay at home than going out for my marriage. Because it will save a lot of money for our future life. I wouldn’t like the life with no money to use after the marriage.（2）I will choose to spend my honeymoons on travelling abroad. It is the most important days of my life. The beautiful scenery will become the most unforgettable experience of my memory.3.what do you think of Qianzhongshu's words: marriage is the grave of love？I don’t think so .Marriage brings responsibili ty to the couple,but it is not the necessary reason to destroy love.Many old couples’ love can prove all of this, the couples may have disagreements, quarrels after their marriages.But if they only put judgement on the things instead of complainting of others,the bad things will go away soon.Moreover , the relationship will become more intimate between the couples.The children are the achievement of love.With the child , the marriage becomes more beautiful.4.Do you accept flash marriage?why or why not ?Yes ,because we can take the chance to have the person who you like very much at the first sight to be our partner in time .Moreover, as we all know in modern times ,time is a very important factor ,flash marriage saves much time compared to the common marriage .Meanwhile ,in correct time run into the right person is the most important ,and the speed of marriage is less influential in one’s happiness.Finally, whether the love of Marathon type can definitely understand the other party, can definitely promise marriage of last long happiness?Appearantly the answer is not.No, Firstly, as in flash marriage we don’t learn much about the other part ,so in some degree the marriage will not last long, and the happiness very short ,but the harm it does to us can be very great .Also, some persons who are for the flash marriage may have the purpose of getting the partner’s property or some other benefits, so that kind of happiness is not true.when the other person find out that ,theemotion between the two person will be likely to break. Thus,the flash marriage may raise the rate of divorce,and make the society less st but not the least ,I am a traditional person and flash marriage disobey the tradition of china.5.What are the important qualities in choosing your marriage partner?A. Well, In my opinion, Be effort is the first important. That is, putting a lot of time and energy into the marriage in order for the marriage to become what we want it to be. Efforts will lead the marriage to a bright future. Then, supportive, I will be much more respectful of my wife if she support me without reserve. Otherwise, if I have difficulties I'll feel as though she's adding to my troubles. Third, be optimism is weighty too, when the family is facing something tough, Optimistic will help us to make it through.6.What do you think is the reason which resulted the increasing divorce rate in modern society?A. I think one of the most important reason is the financial situation. As economic developing, the personal incoming increase, the financial dependence become weaker and weaker, that lead the divorce rate increase. In the past or some poverty-stricken areas, where people live with low living standards, to live together will save more money than live alone, the divorce rate could be low. So,as economic situation improves, the divorce rate increases .（8）Good Manners, An Expectation for Chinese and foreigners AlikeWith China's door opened wider to the outside world, more and moreforeigners come to the country for work, studies and sightseeing. Out of sucha large contingent of foreigners it is quite natural for one or two to behaverudely or even savagely. Upon this we may well show our indignation andtreat them according to law. But it seems less necessary if we take easy sucha rare case instead of a matter of principle. Besides, we should examineourselves too.Taking the example of Real Madrid's lately tour to China, reports criticized afew group members accompanying the team for behaving arrogantly andrudely, it is of course a problem of their "quality". However, shouldn't ourorganizers be partly blamed for their over-enthusiasm that has spoiled thoseelated football stars?What's more, sometimes our own behaviors don't turn out satisfactory uponsomething seeming to be a trivial. On August 4 the Wuhan Evening carriedthe following report. At 9am of August 3, a sweltering hot day, Mrs. Yan waswaiting for a taxi by a taxi stop with her two small children. Many otherpeople were also waiting and when a car was approaching they rushed on. So Mrs. Yan, holding her children, was unable to get her turn when five or six cars passed. At the moment another car arrived a foreign man in his fifties, who had been waiting beside Mrs. Yan, rushed over, opened the door, made a warm gesture to invite Mrs. Yan to enter, and after she and her children seated themselves in the car, he closed the door and walked away. Only by then Mrs. Yan understood that the foreigner, who had been standing under the scorching sun for quite a long time, was only intentionally to get a car for her instead of for himself. Mrs. Yan later wrote specially to the local newspaper to express her thanks.According to our logic, the foreigner may, through such a thing, look down upon the "quality" of the Chinese nationals, but actually it is we who first bundled the matter up with the "principle", for when people were talking over the matter they didn't forget to praise the foreign man as a "living Lei Feng". But I'd rather believe that the foreigner only did what he considered as what he should do in a civilized society.The matter reminds us that when we criticize some foreigners' rude behaviors we should also learn from those who behave better than us. After all, basic manners are required at any time and in any civilized country no matter in the past or at present.(People's Daily Aug 14, 2003)。

Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries. The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches to relax. For another example, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic. Travelling is also one of the best means for learning.

Your career may contain many jobs and job is the beginning of the career. The job may let you accumulate the precious experiences, and the career is established above those experiences. Nowadays, there is a burning question: job problems! The following reasons may account for this social phenomenon: many colleges open their doors wider and many firms need workers of comprehensive abilities to run the projects well. As a result, the gap between ideal and real is very big. How can we find a decent job? Confusion and anxiety are not benefit to a successful job search, we should adjust the mood positively for a variety of opportunities. Our government now is improving the employment situation, and we have a variety of channels to achieve our goals! We should also enhance our own competitiveness, while avoiding the present employment crisis. From my perspective, finding your favorite work and realizing your value are important! If you are not interested in your job, you can rear your interest in your work! You should understand what you need and recognize the work that you will be engaged in and make career plan! Identifying your strengths and weaknesses is indispensable! That is all! Thanks for your attention!Topic 4 Traffic and Transportation With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people have their own cars. However, it will also bring some negative effects. Aswe all know, more and more traffic accidents happen every now and then because of high traffic volume, lagging infrastructures such as inadequate and incompetent road designs, lack of meaningful driver education and testing and a system of traffic enforcement. Many bad and dangerous drivers are not skillful enough and irresponsible. I think the best way to avoid traffic accidents is education for Drivers’ self-discipline and for pedestrians’ self-protection! Those measures, such as strict and effective official monitoring and management, strict rule implementation, severe punishment, are indispensable. As a driver, we should obey traffic rules all the time. Do not drive too fast in case of tailgating; do not use cell-phones during driving; stop aggressive driving habits such as running the red light or sudden changing lane! If there were an accident, what would we do? First of all, you should stop your car and take some deep breaths to get calm, never hit-and-run. Second, keep yourself and others safe and report to the accident police and call your insurance company. It is important to take the emergency kit with you all the time in your car.

Interpersonal relationship containing friendship, love and profession exists in almost everywhere, such as our schools’ life,our campus activities, and our companies, in short, it exists in our whole society life. This is what our mankind different with other animals. Interpersonal relationship which is the basic demand of our society can help you get a better understanding of yourself! It used as the criterion for social psychological health can help you reach self-realization and affirmation! Although in different places you will find different interpersonal relationships, they have one principle, you should obey certain rules to keep a good relationship with other people and therefore enjoy the benefit in turn. Today our life is becoming better and better, but there is still a problem, that is how to improve interpersonal relationship? In my opinion, first we should respect others, as an old saying: if you want others to respect you, you need respect others first. Second, we shouldn’t be selfish. If we are selfish we can’t make a true friend. Third, we should listen to others’ opinion with an open mind and be ready to help others. At last we shouldn’t be inferiority; we need to be outgoing and friendly. Therefore, I am sure we can improve interpersonal relationship through these ways. That is all! Thanks for your attention!Topic6 Love and Marriage People defined love as: based on certain material conditions and the common ideal of life, two people in their heart form the most sincere admiration for each other, and eager tobecome his/her lifelong partner .It is the strongest, most stable and specific feelings. “L”－Loyal: Be loyal to your lover. “O”－Observant: It is the bridge of love, which can lead one to the depths of the soul of another. “V”－Valued: When you have dispute in something, you should respect his/her opinion or choice. “E”－Excuse: Forgive his\her shortcomings and mistakes which can make love longer. People defined marriage as: the formal and public commitment of two people to spend the rest of their lives together. Love and marriage are closely related and promote each other. Marriage is built on the base of love. Only with the base of love can the marriage be happiness. Love is a prelude for marriage, and marriage is where love continues to grow. Before marriage, love is passionate. After marriage, love has changed gradually into a realistic one. Once married, the couple have to deal with numerous household chores and are disappointed to find the perfect beloved one. Love is a subjective personal emotion, whereas marriage is an objective legal union. However, starting a marriage requires a careful consideration. People should think it over that whether they are ready to perform their respective rights and obligations that laws and regulations call for. So, love needs attraction and marriage requires consideration.Topic 7 House and Dwelling With more and more people rushing into cities, the contradiction between limited land resources and urbanization is so sharp that there are lots of problems behind this socialphenomenon containing high price, large gap in housing conditions and forced demolition! What is more, there is a big bubble in China’s real estate which will burst sooner or later! So I will rent a house after graduation because it is cheap and convenient! Here, I have to talk about two hot words: ant tribe and naked weeding! Ant tribe means people live in basement like ants. It is too common in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai! Naked weeding means a couple own a marriage certificate but have no car, no weeding and no house! We also know a sitcom named naked weeding time played by Wenzhang and Yaodi. In this sitcom, they always get in trouble because of the economic situation! LiuYiyang is a perfect man loved by some girls, but it makes us think twice that naked weeding is feasible or not in this materialistic society! Because of these problems, our government should take some measures to solve them! Formulate related law and strengthen the supervision by public opinion are positive ways! I want to share a sentence with you, the sentence is that enjoying your own life is the most important no matter whether you have a house nor not, whether your house is big or small, whether your house is in city or village! That is all! Thanks for your attention!Topic8 Past and Future Childhood is the happiest and easiest time I cherish most in my life. Children show you their true emotions and they know what’s compassion and what’s tolerance better than adults. Intheir world, all real thoughts are presented. They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what’s animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Artists say childhood is the flower which is in bud. In the eyes of the dancers, childhood is the most beautiful melody. In the world of the poets, it’s clearly that childhood is the germination of hope. Today we have high buildings and wider highways, but short temperaments and narrow points of views; we have higher income, but less morals; we have big houses, but small families; we have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space; we have more knowledge, but less judgment; we have much more food, but less nutrition; we have more medicines, but less health! Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment, not only about survival! It takes something from our hearts, and it never comes again. Something beautiful is vanished, and we sigh for it in vain; find your treasure and cherish it! Future is waiting for you to take the first step to change the situation! That is all! Thanks for your attention!Topic 9 Fashion and life Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing or the like chased by many people. A fashion usually remains popular for a period of time and then is replaced by another fashion. Fashion is a term usually used in a positive sense, as a synonymfor glamour, beauty and style. It is also applied to a prevailing mode of expression, but quite often applied to a personal mode of expression that may or may not be applied to all. Apart from the mainstream commercial fashion, we also have fashion influenced by a subculture. It is fashion from the fringes, which may often be more artistic than practical. Young people would easily accept fashionable things and like pursuing fashion. They are more sensitive to the changes in the fashion world and more willing to spend time and money on it than middle aged people and the elders. Regarding the middle aged people, some of them know something about fashion from TV programs, commercials and their children. Some people like fashionable things, but most of them have no time and do not want to spend too much money on it. Fashion is a person’s attitude towards life. Just as old saying goes, different people hold different views! Some people think fashion increases the economy of society and improves a person’s appearance, but others believe fashion is a waste of natural resource. So we should treat this social phenomenon rationally!Topic10 Chinese and Foreigners As we all know, there are so many differences between Chinese and foreigners! For example, the ways of taking care of children are different! In the US, children are more independent. They know what to be at an early age and plan carefully to achieve the goals. In China, Parents usually prepare everything for us!What we should do is to accept without any doubt which means respect. In China there’re usually many rules to tie down students, such as wearing uniform. But students in American schools have the freedom to choose what to wear. They are enjoying themselves on the way to success when we’re buried in the ocean of paper to pass the college entrance exam! We can also understand differences from the movie cultural collisions: personal heroism is what foreigners pursue: but in China, unity is strength, persevering! Although the differences are existing, I think relationships between a Chinese and a foreigner should be friendly and equal in further development! How should foreigners and Chinese keep good relationship? Firstly, take the initiative to understand each other's living habits and to increase communications and cooperation, mutual benefits. Secondly, respect each other, understand each other to promote the common progress of the world. In a word, we are all living in the same world, so we should make joint efforts on such questions in order to live in a harmony life with different skin people in different countries.。

When we come home from workplace,we’ll likely to stay in the study and open computers to begin our daily affairs, Surfing the Internet, watching the news or playing the computer games. Many people thought that it is not necessary to meet each other everyday, we only need to have a chat on Internet even if he is your father or boyfriend.2、what can teachers do to foster-students' creativity?Being educated is less a matter of knowing, than it is a matter of being able to think. Some teachers may feel that creative thinking cannot be taught or learned.We all see that some students are more creative. Some assume that creative thinking is an enigma and a gift (or a curse). Some colleagues tell me that creative thinking cannot be taught. While I am thankful for all good gifts, I do not depend on them. I believe new thinking habits can nurtured in myself and in others. A changein student thinking habits and thinking modes is most apt to happen if new teaching habits are cultivated and learned.One approach is to change our questioning style. To encourage divergent thinking, I avoid questions with only one acceptable answer. Questions with only one answer are limiting and do not encourage imagination, they do not encourage divergent thinking, and they are less likely to encourage self-confidence and self-esteem. Questions with only one answer are often too easy or too hard. The average student is either bored or frustrated. Motivation declines. What kind of questions encourage thinking, creativity, and awareness? This implies a creative teacher who senses the edge ofstudent thinking ability. It implies a teacher that stretches student minds with open and relevant questions. Students in such a class become thinkers, not "monkey see monkey do" learners.Posting thinking questionsAwareness is one of essential components of creative inspiration and problem solving. Noticing ceases when curiosity dies. Teachers who ask questions soon realize the value of asking the right questions, but they also become aware of time passing. They may be spending time with one or a few students while the remainder of the class is not involved. By posting good questions at strategic locations in the classroom, a virtual cafeteria of thoughts can motivate thinking and awareness. Posted questions can be changed as needs, topics, abilities, and interests change. I have often found that when one student is stuck or experiencing a block, others may also be having similar problems. Posting the motivational and inspirational questions may be a very efficient way to help several students at once.Question difficultyTeachers all know that difficulty level is a key factor in good motivation. When a question is too easy or too hard the student willbe bored or frustrated. When we ask a stupid question with aself-evident answer, students feel we are wasting time. Sometimes we need to ask redundant questions to remind kids of discipline issues or to reinforce some idea, but we need to realize that redundancy risks being dismissed as irrelevant to learning.When posting questions we can vary the difficulty. When making lists, we can begin with some easier questions and end with some questions that would challenge the teacher. Verbal spontaneous questions can be tailored to the student. We inspire learning when we manage to make the hard stuff easier and the easy stuff challenging. I need to remember that art of teaching creative thinking is not to profess only the known, but to inspire curiosity and thinking by teasing out new thinking with unexpected questions. 3、Is EQ more important than IQ?Emotional intelligence a good predictor of leadership skillsWhy do some people always seem to succeed at work, while others of equal -- or higher -- intelligence don't?Is it luck? Looks? Nepotism? More than likely it's the emotional intelligence factor. Emotional intelligence, often referred to as EQ, is a set of abilities that lets you form optimal relationships withyourself and others. And research shows it can be a far better predictor of life success than IQ."In the fields I have studied, emotional intelligence is much more powerful than IQ in determining who emerges as a leader," says William Bennis, an internationally renowned author and leadership expert. "IQ is a threshold competence. It might get you into a certain field, but it doesn't make you a star. Emotional intelligence can."In his book "Working with Emotional Intelligence," Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and CEO of Emotional Intelligence Services, contends that among the pool of people smart enough to handle the most cognitively demanding fields, IQ has the least power in predicting success.The higher the intelligence barriers for entry into a field, the greater the impact emotional intelligence has on success.Portland, Oregon-based human resources expert Lori Kocon says she has seen this phenomenon play out repeatedly -- especially over the past four years. "During the '80s and '90s an unprecedented number of people went on to get MBAs and postgraduate degrees," she says."While in the past, this helped them advance in their careers, today with so many people having the same high levels of knowledge and technical expertise, this route has reached maximum effectiveness. "What sets people apart now are their abilities to manage themselves and develop productive relationships with others. It all boils down to being emotionally intelligent."At its simplest, emotional intelligence encompasses five competencies:1.Self-awareness: Recognizing your emotions and their effects; knowing your strengths and limitations; and having a strong sense of your capabilities and self-worth.2. Self-regulation: Managing your moods by keeping disruptive emotions and impulses in check; and channeling your feelings and resources to enhance your performance and productivity.3. Self-motivation: Knowing how to use your emotions to propel yourself into action toward a desired goal and to persevere despite obstacles and setbacks.4. Empathy: Your ability to sense others' feelings and perspectives; read and understand the dynamics of relationships; and anticipate, recognize and meet key constituents' needs.5. Social skills: Your adeptness at inducing desirable responses in others through communication, collaboration, influence and relationship-building."In the new workplace, with its emphasis on flexibility, teams and a strong customer orientation, this crucial set of emotional competencies is becoming increasingly essential for excellence in every job in every part of the world," Goleman saysUnlike IQ, which is pretty much established at birth, EQ can be learned, implemented and improved upon at any age. In fact, studies show our emotional intelligence increases as we get older -- peaking between 50 and 59.What's the best way to raise your EQ, short of hiring a personal coach?Psychologist Dr. Hendrie Weisinger, author of "Emotional Intelligence at Work" and "The Emotionally Intelligent Financial Advisor," advocates increasing your self-awareness.He advises taking a reading of your emotions several times throughout the day and keeping a journal. After a week, access what you're feeling, how you're channeling your feelings and how it affects your workday.If you're sending yourself negative messages, plant positive ones in their place. For example, if you find you're telling yourself "I'm stupid" after making a mistake, replace that message with "What can I do differently next time?"It also helps to have an EQ role model. Identify people you know who excel as individuals and also maximize a team's potential through building bonds, collaboration and creating group synergy in pursuit of collective goals.Watch how they sell their ideas, handle criticism from others, and deal with setbacks. Then apply those skills in your own life and see what a difference it makes!4、Do you think that it is good to be famous? what are the pros and cons of such a life?I think we all desire to be accepted and liked by society on some level and for many I would suspect that being famous is their proof of acceptance.There was a program on television this week aboutpaparazzi and a lot of it is a fix,the celebs actually ring them up and stage the photo shoots,so they crave the attention.If you look at many comedians,they are only happy when in front of an admiring audience,making them laugh is their proof of acceptance,yet like Michael Barrymore,Spike Milligan and many many more,backstage they are manic depressives.I am sure it was a comedian who said there is no such thing as bad publicity and the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.Then there are those who become famous for the bad things like Nick Leeson for loosing so much money for his bank,Fred West for murdering etc,these people don't pursue fame but have it thrust upon them and unfortunately some of them also profit from their wrong doing by selling their story to a newspaper or book publisher-which I think is just wrong !Personally I don't want to be famous,but there are many people who do and always will find it the best form of acceptance.Pros:*You can get into "hard to get into" clubs and have your own private VIP area.**Some clubs will even pay for famous people to party in them**Money* (but not every famous person is rich)*Bodyguards**Having your own personal assistants.**Getting magazine covers**Movie/TV Show appearances**Red Carpet events**Endorsement deals**Groupies* (if someone were into that).*Devoted fans**You can get away with crimes easier than any regular person**Proving people wrong that told you weren't going to be anybody.* *Living in big mansions with nice cars, maids, and anything you want**Dating models and other famous people.**Free stuff**Royalty Checks*Cons:*No privacy.**People may not treat you as a human being**Stalkers**Fake friends**Paparazzi**Getting big headed**You could have a bad business manager that steals your money and leaves you bankrupt.**Someone from your past could have some dirty pictures of you, a sex tape or share your secrets to the media to expose you to look like a bad person**People will gossip horribly about you, your children, parents, family, friends, etc in gossip blogs and tabloids.**Being criticised constantly no matter what you do.(Being worst dressed, having cellulite, getting fat, plastic surgery, pregnant, your sexuality, bad movie tv shows or album5、what do you think of school uniform ? is it a good idea for the students to wear the same clothes in their school ?We have worked with schools across the United States, and believe us, you are not the only person asking this question! The answers that we have heard from our customers are as varied as our customers are. The debate over school uniforms is complicated, so we've included highlights from both sides for you to consider: Professional:Some say that a child in a school uniform is more likely to take school seriously. Putting on the school uniform signals he or she is going to school just like dad dresses up to go to work. Schools reportthat when students dress in "work clothes" rather than "play clothes" they take a more serious approach to their studies.Promotes Good Discipline:Many think that school uniforms help maintain school discipline, decreasing the amount of discipline problems. The argument is that children today are lacking in self-discipline because parents refuse to discipline them. This makes it more difficult on the teacher who has to deal with classes of 25-30 students at a time.Reduces Fighting and Violence:Schools report that school uniforms decrease fighting and violence that arrise out of arguments over fashionable clothes. Children invariably tease those who do not have trendy clothes. Those who can't afford name brand clothes are often sensitive about their clothing. Schools struggling with gang problems report that school uniforms help ease tensions.Distractions:Many parents believe that students wearing school uniforms look nicer and that a school uniform policy ensures that children will come to school in appropriate clothing, avoiding distractions such as fads considered to be outlandish or overly revealing. Some students have turned school into an unending fashion show. This disctracts from learning, as some kids spend more time focused on thierclothes than on homework.Values:School uniforms stress that individuality and self-expression are not determined by designer clothing or the latest fashion fad.Low Cost:School uniforms are a bargain. They are becoming far less expensive than many other clothes. Schools argue that school uniforms are economical, especially compared to designer clothing, and parents agree given school uniform durability. They say school uniforms last longer because they are made for repeated wash and wear. Many schools capitalize on this by starting used school uniform stores or swap meets. Parents can get used school uniforms at discount prices, or just use them as hand-me-downs between siblings.School Spirit:Some feel wearing a school uniform helps build school spirit. It instills a feeling of belonging. As the Beach Boys said, "Be true to your school." Schools report an increase in school pride. Individuality:Supressing individuality is the most commonly cited objection to school uniforms. Educators argue that an academic program encouraging students to pursue individual thought is much more important than what they wear. They inhibit creativity andself-expression, forcing students to conform.Causes Discipline Problems:Some students reject any rules. Forcing them to wear school uniforms only aggravates their rebelious spirit. They alter their school uniform by tightening, widening, shortening, or lengthening them, and teachers are given the impossible task of policing the students on a daily basis.Little or No Relationship to Academics:Opponents insist that their is no credible evidence that school uniforms improve school discipline or promote higher academic acheivement. The principal argument is that some great students are terrible dressers. Dress does not necessarily improve learning.6、Do you want to live alone or live with roommates ? Why ?There's no right or wrong answer to this question -- and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's a personal decision that all apartment dwellers are entitled to make, and your answer should depend on what you want at the time you're looking to rent.If you need help deciding whether to live with a roommate, consider the common reasons why people choose one route over the other.Reasons to Have a RoommateThere are many good reasons to have a roommate. See if any ofthese reasons appeal to you:1、You won't be lonely.Even if you're not close with your roommate, having a roommate means having someone else around, so you won't have to feel lonely.2、You'll gain convenience.Having a roommate adds convenience. For instance, if you have different schedules, a roommate can feed your pet or water the plants when you're not at home to do it. If you go out of town, your roommate can tell you about any important mail you receive.3、You'll save money. When you have a roommate, you'll save money in several ways. First, you can rent a larger apartment that would give you both more room and more value. You'll also split utility bills and the cost of groceries, among other apartment expenses. Plus, if you or your roommate cook (even if you just do the basics), cooking for two (or three or more) normally saves money over cooking for just one.4、You'll have help. With a roommate, you can split the chores needed to keep your apartment in shape. So, you won't have to be the one to do grocery shopping all the time. Or, if you become the designated grocery shopper, your roommate can take on other errands that you would normally have to do. Sharing errands helps lighten the load for both of you.Reasons Not to Have a RoommateMany people appreciate the reasons in favor of having a roommate but feel that the reasons for living alone present a much stronger case.You shouldn't live with a roommate if:You want more privacy. If you live alone, you'll almost certainly have more privacy than if you live with others. Simply stated, not having roommates means you can do what you want, when you want it. For instance, you can have guests over as you please or get home late and leave early without having to worry about disturbing a roommate.You don't want to risk problems. Although having a roommate can be a rewarding experience, there are many types of problems that may arise in a roommate relationship. These range from lifestyle conflicts (think of a roommate who likes to play guitar while you need peace and quiet to study or do work) to financial issues (think of a roommate who has trouble paying his share of the rent and expenses). Living alone is the only way to guarantee that none of these problems ever arises7、how to make English classes more interesting andrewarding ?interestingTry to use a variety of activities - each lasting maybe 10 minutes max (although you could go a little longer with honors students). Involve the students as much as possible, perhaps breaking into small groups or partners. Pull out details of the author's life that the students might relate to, particularly if those incidents inspired the author's work. If you're dealing with 10th grade honors students, you can probably be pretty creative and let them "stretch" their minds. Perhaps you could have them anticipate how an excerpt of the writing will end or try to write their own endings in the style of the author. You could even have the groups illustrate a particular passage if the writer is descriptive. I hope this helps. I'm a foreign language teacher, not an English teacher, but I do teach literature in my upper level classes. Good luck!Oh, and one last piece of advice - be flexible and have a back-up plan. If something's not working, sometimes it's best to move on to a new activity rather than force the issue. Any teacher will tell you some of our 'best' lesson plans bombed and other activities we thought would flop were great hits. That's life. Maybe you can ask the regular teacher to give you a sign if s/he thinks you should just move on.rewarding1.Step 1Dwell on the positive. Every teaching career will have itsparticular problems, such as uncooperative students or parents, but reminding yourself regularly why you decided to teach and what you enjoy about this career will help you focus onovercoming these challenges.2.Step 2Create and refine personal goals that go beyond the curriculum.Although every teaching job comes with standards andregulations from school administrations and boards of education, incorporating personal goals into your teaching, such as starting an extracurricular club or study group, will give you something to look forward to at the end of the regular work day.3.Step 3Never stop learning. If there is a specific academic subject or area you are not familiar with, enroll in classes that discuss it in depth.Whether you will ever teach this subject is moot. Sparking your interest in something new will help you better your students.4.Step 4Teach what you are passionate about. New teachers may not have much leeway in determining the subjects they will teach, but as you progress in your career, make it a point to pursue teaching jobs and positions that align with what you love. Yourenthusiasm will greatly engage your students, as well.5.Step 5Don't be afraid of change. If you love your teaching career but have problems with location, salary, class environment or thenumber of students, discuss these issues with trusted superiors who may be able to connect you with other opportunities thatbetter fit your needs.8、how to reduce crime-rate in China ?1、Strengthen education efforts. If all of us know the vanues ofour liv es,we don’t agree to keep ourselves in prisons. We learned knowledges in the school and mastered various methods to solve some kinds of problems. When we are short of money, we can ask bank loans, instead of stealing,when we quarrel with others, we can call the police instead of killing……2、To strengthen the management of hazardous substances.Nowadays, we can see someone kill many students withoutshot target by his gun , many of us feel sad for the sacrifices,at the same time ,we should ask :how does he get the gun ?If government can strengthen the managerment of those weapon,maybe the tragic will not happen.3、To strengthen the control of mainstream media. In thepast ,someone prefer to stealing instead of to work hard because it’s easier to get money and if you move to another city ,no one can recognize you are a theft. So if we can see someone’s pictures on the newspaper or television,we can grab the crime so easier. If so ,few people would to commit crimes.9、Is gender discrimination a serious problem in china ? giveexamples to support your ideas.Bildquelle: sxc.hu A recently released report on sex discrimination by the Centre for Women's Law and Legal Services at Peking University has revealed the extent of sex-based discrimination in the workplace in China. The report is based on a survey of 3,000 respondents (divided into four categories – currently employed, laid off and unemployed, retirees, and job seekers) on five major topics: recruitment, salaries and welfare, promotion, sexual harassment and retirement.RecruitmentAlmost one-quarter of all people surveyed said they believedthey had been refused employment due to sex-based discrimination: 23.6% of those surveyed said they had been passed over for a job because they are female; 16% said they had been passed over even though they had better academic qualifications than male candidates (a trend those surveyed indicated was particularly serious in joint-venture and foreign invested companies and administration authorities); 19.2% of female job seekers with postgraduate qualifications had been passed over.4.1% and 3.4% respectively of those surveyed said they had been asked to sign contracts with clauses stating that marriage and pregnancy were forbidden (which occurred most frequently in private-owned enterprises).One in five of those surveyed said companies at which they worked were not willing to hire female workers whom were at child-bearing age but had not yet given birth.The report concluded that female workers occupy a lower position in the general employment structure: 76.4% of those surveyed worked in education, medical services, scientific research, sales, advertising, marketing, restaurant and manufacturing sectors. Only 11.8%, 2.2% and 11.2% worked in government, the legal or auditing/accounting sectors.Salaries and welfare20.9% of respondents said their employer forced female employees to take lesser positions within the company and/or accept salary cuts when pregnant and during the confinement and lactation period; 11.2% said they were dismissed under these circumstances (and this most frequently occurred in joint-venture and foreign invested companies).15% of those surveyed clearly stated the practice of “same job, different pay” existed in their organisation when it came to males and females.PromotionOverall, 36% of those surveyed believe females are under-represented in high-paying positions or management in their organisation. But respondents in two corporate categories felt much stronger on this issue: 55.4% of employees in state-owned enterprises and 48.7% in joint-venture and foreign-invested enterprises workers thought this to be the case.15.7% said the female employees receive less training than their male counterparts, and 33.9% said females have fewer opportunities for promoti on. 52.1% said “taking care of babies and household duties” affected their chances for promotion. 64.6% of females surveyed believe their gender influenced their pay rate. Sexual harassmentOver 20% of female employees were subjected to jokes of a sexual nature; perhaps not surprising give that more than 40% of organisations have no regulations forbidding sexual harassment (and – according to the report - over 50% of harassment originates in the workplace).RetirementNearly 60% of those surveyed do not think that different retirement ages for males and females in China constitute discrimination. Only 26.4% said that discrimination against females.When asked what the main reasons for sex discrimination were, 50.1% said that it is because the supply of female employees exceeds demand, followed by “household duties affecting work”.In the face of sex discrimination, 25.6% of those surveyed said they chose to endure it and say nothing; 16.5% said they would confront their employer and argue their case; 32.4% choose to lodge a complaint with the authorities; and 16.9% would take the case to court. A smaller number said they would leave the company and seek another job.The report confirms some commonly shared views in China that have been illustrated in similar research over the years; i.e., that serious sex discrimination exists in the Chinese workplace. Yet as one of the authors of the report states, the research does not coverthe problem of “invisible discrimination” (suggesting that discrimination in practice is even worse that outlined here). For example, many employers today will not openly refuse to hire female job seekers on the basis of gender; especially after the Employment Promotion Law was enacted. For instance, employers will not post job advertisements that openly seek employees on discriminatory grounds, but many still discriminate during the interview process.The research team responsible for the report therefore recommends to the government that it formulate specialised anti-discrimination laws or regulations, incorporate gender into public policy making, and build a nationwide supervisory organisation to ensure gender equality.Moreover, there is also ample room for business itself to improve. And it’s no t only about equal opportunity, but also real benefits. McKinsey revealed in its Women Matters from 2007 that companies with a higher proportion of women in their top management have better performance both organizationally and financially. Its 2008 report furthermore showed that leadership behaviour more often applied by women reinforce a company’s organisational performance on several dimensions. Moreover, a survey involving over a thousand managers from a wide range of。

Topic1 Health Health, by definition, is a state of physical, mental and social well-being. It implies the absence of infirmity or disease, but their mere absence does not mean health. Earning and maintaining health is an active process. Good health is a result of proper nutrition, regular exercise, health care and hygiene. One of the most important factors determining the mental health of an individual is his/her happiness quotient. Hence, effective stress management forms a vital factor in remaining healthy. What should we do to keep healthy in our daily life? Firstly, try to be less materialistic and keep your life simple. It is really unnecessary to keep up with the joneses. Why do you buy a car if you can avail of public transport? Secondly, to be healthy also includes being mentally healthy. It’s another important guaranty for people to live or work well. Control your mind. What you think and how you think affect your general well-being. Refuse to entertain negative or self-derogatory thoughts and emotions. Thirdly, exercise regularly. Go for a short run every morning and exercise your eyes regularly, especially if you spend a lot of time in front of the computer. If you have to run errands around the neighborhood, walk or cycle around. Walk up stairways instead of taking the lift. Here, I want to share a sentence with you,the sentence is that enjoying your healthy life is the most important! That is all! Thanks for your attention!Topic 2 Traveling It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries. The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches to relax. For another example, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic. Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel aboutthe geography, biology, and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book.Topic3 Job and Career A career is a long-life process whereas a job is what you do at a specific moment in your life. Your career may contain many jobs and job is the beginning of the career. The job may let you accumulate the precious experiences, and the career is established above those experiences. Nowadays, there is a burning question: job problems! The following reasons may account for this social phenomenon: many colleges open their doors wider and many firms need workers of comprehensive abilities to run the projects well. As a result, the gap between ideal and real is very big. How can we find a decent job? Confusion and anxiety are not benefit to a successful job search, we should adjust the mood positively for a variety of opportunities. Our government now is improving the employment situation, and we have a variety of channels to achieve our goals! We should also enhance our own competitiveness, while avoiding the present employment crisis. From my perspective, finding your favorite work and realizingyour value are important! If you are not interested in your job, you can rear your interest in your work! You should understand what you need and recognize the work that you will be engaged in and make career plan! Identifying your strengths and weaknesses is indispensable! That is all! Thanks for your attention!Topic 4 Traffic and Transportation With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people have their own cars. However, it will also bring some negative effects. As we all know, more and more traffic accidents happen every now and then because of high traffic volume, lagging infrastructures such as inadequate and incompetent road designs, lack of meaningful driver education and testing and a system of traffic enforcement. Many bad and dangerous drivers are not skillful enough and irresponsible.I think the best way to avoid traffic accidents is education for Drivers’ self-discipline and for pedestrians’ self-protection! Those measures, such as strict and effective official monitoring and management, strict rule implementation, severe punishment, are indispensable. As a driver, we should obey traffic rules all the time.

They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what’s animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Artists say childhood is the flower which is in bud. In the eyes of the dancers, childhood is the most beautiful melody. In the world of the poets, it’s clearly that childhood is the germinatio n of hope. Today we have high buildings and wider highways, but short temperaments and narrow points of views; we have higher income, but less morals; we have big houses, but small families; we have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space; we have more knowledge, but less judgment; we have much more food, but less nutrition; we have more medicines, but less health!

Fashion is a term usually used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. It is also applied to a prevailing mode of expression, but quite often applied to a personal mode of expression that may or may not be applied to all.

Young people would easily accept fashionable things and like pursuing fashion. They are more sensitive to the changes in the fashion world and more willing to spend time and money on it than middle aged people and the elders. Regarding the middle aged people, some of them know something about fashion from TV programs, commercials and their children.
