Talk about a friend of yours and how you met this person.I want to talk about my friend John. I met him in the basketball team when I was in High School. I still remember when I first attended the team, I was too shy to talk to other team members. At that time, our leader John came over to me and chatted with me about the interesting things happened before in the team. Soon after, I felt calmed. Later on, John became my best friend and we always play basketball together and hang out on weekends.when talking about John, I have to say that he is a great leader, because he is a talented basketball player and he always patiently teach us useful basketball techniques. With the guidance from him, we win lots of prizes. We all admire him.2. Some students like to take notes in class; others prefer to mainly listen to the teacher. Which do you prefer and why?Personally speaking, I prefer to take notes in class. First of all, taking notes help me concentrate better on class. While taking the course, if I just listen to what the teacher is lecturing, I will soon feel sleepy and sometimes I will probably be distracted by my classmates who are chatting with each other or playing the phone games. Secondly,I can get better preparation for the exam with the notes taken in the class.For instance, last semester in my biology class, I took notes carefully for every important point mentioned by the professor. Later, when I was preparing my biology test, I found the notes so useful that they even helped to achieve a high score in that test. Thank you.2014-09-211: Talk about a type of clothing that is popular in your country.I think one of the interesting style of clothing in my country is the school uniform, because it’s designed by the students. Take my high school as an example, when I was in Grade 1, our school uniform was very plain. They were all white T-shirts and black pants, and nothing special. Students complained a lot about it. Lately, the headmaster decided to let students design our own uniform. We could put our favorite cartoon figures on it and choose the color we like. Since then, we all liked to wear the uniform, and went to school with a bright mood. And that’s the reason why I think the school uniform is an interesting style of clothing.2: Do you agree or disagree University students should take part-time jobs.Personally speaking, I totally agree with the statement, because it can help students to figure out what they really want to do in the future. Take my brother as an example, when he was in university, he couldn’t decide on which job to take after graduation. Then he took some part-time jobs during his spare time such as waiter, architect assistant, and tutor. After trying these jobs, he figured out that being an architect was his dream job, as he was good at designing. He wanted to build those awesome skyscrapers for people to work and live comfortably. After that he just focused on applying the engineering companies and got an ideal job in the end.2014-9-27A1: Which of the following community service would you choose to do? Working with children, cleaning the city park or planting a campus garden.relationships with colleagues at work. Children are pure and naive, we don’t need to consider any personal interests when playing with them. So, this could help us forget the pressure at work. Secondly, I could teach them some basic living skills. For example, last year I did some volunteer work in the community, I was assigned a task to take a couple of children to camp. I taught them how to set a fire and navigate without a campus. They were very interested in it and mastered these skills pretty quickly.2: When studying aboard, some students prefer to live by themselves or with their friends, others prefer to live with a local family. Which do you think is better?I prefer to live with my friends. Firstly, it’s quite economical. For example, 3 years ago I went to America to study. I lived with a local family. Every month it cost me 300 dollars. But if I had chosen to live with my friends, let’s say there were 5 people to split the rent , then I just needed to spend 60 dollars. Secondly, it’s also full of pleasure. We could do plenty of interesting activities together, like partying , cooking or watching family movies. For example, right now I live with 2 friends and we would always cook meals on weekends. Even though sometimes the food might be burnt, we don’t mind at all cause what we care the most is the pleasant time we spent together.2014-9-27B1: Describe a change that happened in your country, and how it has affected people’s life. Explain your answer in details.The first comes to my mind is online shopping. It changed our life greatly. Firstly, it’s more convenient. We don’t need to step out of our houses to buy the things we need，no matter necessities or luxuries. We just need to search it on the internet since there are way too many online stores nowadays. Secondly, the products online could be much cheaper. For example, once I wanted to buy a watch, but the certain type I wanted was 300 dollars in the store near my home, then I searched it on the internet, it was only 200 dollars in the online flagship shop. So I bought it immediately. I was so happy that the online shopping helped me saved a lot of money.2: Do you agree or disagree with the statement that watching sports program on TV is not a good use of time.I disagree with the statement that watching sports program on TV is not a good use of time. Firstly, it’s quite a great way to relax. For example, nowadays we always have mountains of assignments. After doing two hours of homework, we might feel exhausted and stressed. If we could watch some sports games on TV, which are full of interesting and exciting moments, we might forget the pressure and feel relaxed. Secondly, we could learn various kinds of information through it, like who is the famous basketball star in NBA, how to distinguish football from soccer, what kind of rules you should know to play football and so on. It could expand our knowledge base greatly.2014-10-111：Talk about an artwork that impresses you most.For me, I would like to talk about the starry night from Van Gogh which impresses me a lot. The first thing I want to talk about is that it’s really attractive, last summer I w ent to the museum in Europe for an exhibition, and this artwork attracted me at the first sight. I was completely immersed in the painting, feeling that I was under the sky and among the stars. It was really a fantastic experience for me. The second thing I want to mention is that Van Gogh is my favorite painter and it was the first time for me to take a look at the real artwork. I have seen all his works from Van Gogh on the internet or in the books for many times, but it was totally a different experience while looking at the real painting. Since I can look at it with a short distance, and the painting is more vivid and clear.2: If you get some extra money, do you prefer to save it or use it for entertainment.If I am lucky enough to have some extra money, I would like to save it. One thing is that I could devote the money I saved to the charity. There are millions of people suffering from the disaster every year, like last year, when the earthquake happened, lots of people in Sichuan province had no place to live. So I devoted all the money to helpcan help me to use money wisely. I used to waste lots of money buying things that are not necessary. Once I started the plan of saving money, I will consider for a while before I go shopping.2014-10-181.Talk about a style of clothing you like the most, explain in details why you like wearing it.I like sportswear the most. Brands like NorthFace and Columbia are my favorite. First, they are made to last forever. They are tough, well made, well thought out. I have a few jackets that were bought many years ago that are still in near perfect condition. I’ve never really taken good care of them. I usually just toss them in the washer right after exercising or hiking. Years later, every button and zipper still works perfectly! Second, they are perfect for outdoor activities which I love the most. They keep me warm and dry no matter how horrible the weather gets.2. Some teachers like to give class assignments in person, while others like to give assignments by email.Which do you prefer ? Explain your answers in details.I prefer to receive assignments by email for the following reasons. First, students will have a better understanding of the specifics and requirements of an assignment. Last year, I received a poor grade on my history paper because I misunderstood what the teacher asked us to do. It’s not that I didn’t work hard on it, it’s just it’s hard to take down every little detail. Second, it will save teachers plenty of time explaining things over and over again. It takes quite a while for every individual in the classroom understand and jot down every piece of information and he has to wait which is quite a waste of time.2014-10-261. Talk the advantage and disadvantage of the wide use of robots. Explain your answer in details.I think robots are important for our future for the following reasons. First, robots have been a major part of human culture for a long time already. We rely heavily on machines. They produce cars, computers, cloths and all sorts of things. Very few of what we need is made by hand nowadays. They do such a great job at these tasks, with better speed and precision than human. Second, as artificial intelligent gets better and better, they will help us to make things running more smoothly. Who knows, maybe the day machines surpass human will come sooner than we imagined.2. Some people prefer to finish reading a book in one setting, others prefer to read a few pages each time. Which do you prefer ? Explain your answers in details.I prefer to finish reading a book in one setting for the following reasons. First, I’m a fast reader. I can finish a book within a day without any problem. This means I rarely have to buy books. If there’s a book I want to read, I’ll just have t my local library to get it, finish it over the weekend, and return it on Monday. Second, I’ve tried reading a book on a bus on my way to school. I didn’t enjoy it at all. As soon as the story gets my attention, I have to stop reading because I need to get off at my station. Over time, I would lose interest in it and forget all about it.2014-11-021. Which of the following kinds of movie do you dislike the most? Action movie, romance movie and science fiction movie. Explain your answer in details.The kind of movie I don't like much are action movies. First, I find them noisy and meaningless. My little brother is really into action movies, he watches them all the time in the house, with the volume turned all the way up! When He does, I can’t concentrate on my work. All I can hear is people shouting and guns going off. Second, they get too violent for my taste. I don’t mind Kung-Fu Movies from the 80s’, some of them are actually very well made. Today’s action movies are bloody and filled with unnecessary gore. I just don’t find it that entertaining seeing people got blown to pieces.2. some people prefer to watch news everyday, others prefer to watch news once in a while.Which do you prefer ? Explain your answers in details.I prefer to watch news once in a while for the following reasons. Firstly, it’s stressful to listen to news on radio or watch it on TV. As the old saying goes, no news is good news. Most of the events on news are negative. All they talk about are social problems, natural disasters, political issues and international conflicts. I get such a headache listening to these reports. Second, news on TV is very repetitive. They keep playing the same event in a loop with minimum development which I think is boring. I’d rather only watch it for half and a hour a week. I’ve been doing this for years and I’ve never missed anything important.2014-11-08(1)1：Which technology has made the greatest impact on people's life? Airplane, computer or television. From my point of view, computer impacts most in people’life because it makes our life convenient than before. On the one hand, we can search all kinds of information on the Internet. Every day, I would read some news on-line to know what is happening around me. Meanwhile, if I encounter any problems with my study, I could also reach the academic resources on-line conveniently. On the other hand, computer provides us with many ways to entertain. For instance, we can watch movies, listen to music or read books on-line, which really makes our life more comfortable. 2：Some people prefer a high-paying job that requires them to relocate to other cities. Other people prefer to get paid less and stay in the city they live in. Which one do you think is better and explain why in detail. Personally, I prefer a high-paying job that requires me to relocate to other cities. Firstly, a higher pay could ensure many things. Getting a decent income means that I could do many things I’m interested in like taking a trip or shopping for my favorite clothes. Secondly, working in other cities will provide me the chance to expand my outlook. For example, my brother—John, who is working in another city which is far away from his hometown, and there, he gets to know more about the local culture by spending those festivals with local people and communicating with them.2014-11-08(2)1: Talk about the most important characteristics of a good apartment or house. Explain your answer in details.From my perspective, the space of house is the most important characteristic I will consider. First of all, more space means more choices to arrange my house. I am fond of doing indoor activities and reading books. Therefore, with more space provided, I could have some place to carry out those indoor exercises like yoga and some area to place a big book-shelf for storing books. Second, if I have a spacious house, I could invite my friends over to give parities or do other activities. I’ve really got lots of friends, so only a house that is big enough can accommodate all of them.2. When spending time with friends, some people prefer to go to concerts, others prefer going to movies. Which do you prefer?Personally, I prefer watching movies with my friends for two reasons. Firstly, watching movies is much cheaper than going to concerts. A ticket of movie usually costs only 10 dollars and then you will enjoy yourself for the following 2 hours. However, concert tickets sometimes reach as high as a hundred dollars, which means most of us students can hardly afford it. Secondly, we can always learn a lot through watching movies. Many movies always contain deep meaning like the Forrest Gump teaches us to be courageous. Watching movies with friends also means that we can have discussions and therefore have a better understanding of the movie.2014-11-091:Do you think it’s a good idea to let students keep pets in the dorm?Personally speaking, I don’t think it’s good to allow students to keep pets in the dorm. Firstly, it will greatly affect students’ study. If you got a pet in the dorm, you would think about it all the time, like is it hungry? Is it lonely?。
