1.Do you think friends are important? Why?

Yes. I think friends are very important. Firstly, when I face difficulties, my friends can encourage me and help me. With their help, I can overcome it. Secondly, I can travel and sport with my friends, so I can enjoy the pleasure with them. Thirdly, we can share our ideas about our life or job. What’s more, we can share the happiness and sadness with each other. Everybody needs friendship. We need other’s help and sure to offer others help too. There is no doubt that friends are very important to everyone.

2.Do you prefer to have one or two close friends or a wide circle of

friends?

In our life, we can meet many people, but only the true friends leave the footprints in our heart. I prefer to have one or two close friends rather than a wide circle of friends. Firstly, the close friends can share our happiness and sorrows, even secret .They can give us much advice when we get lost. Secondly, the close friends can give us real help, they can accompany us through difficult times. So I think the close friends is very important.

3.Do you think it is possible to have a real friendship with someone over

the Internet?

I don’t think it is possible to have a real friendship with someone over the Internet.

Firstly, on the Internet , there are many false information. You can’t judge it real or not. Secondly, the communication on the internet is limited, you can’t fully know

a person. Without fully knowing a person, you can’t have a real friendship.

4.How do you think about gossip? Is it a good thing or bad thing?

Gossip is informal conversation or information about other people or their actions, often including unkind or disapproving comments about their private affairs.

I think gossip is a bad thing.

Firstly, gossip is often not based on facts. It distorts the natural things and often misleads people. Secondly, gossip often cause harm to the relevant people. It harms their jobs, family and life. So I think gossip is a bad thing.

5.Do you think paper books will be replaced by electronic texts?Why? No.I think paper books have many advantages,for instance,

first,Paper books just feel good in your hands - even the best designed eReader is a cold, lifeless steely contraption by comparison. Paper books are also seen as "more

personal," which was a comment that a number of people made on the previous post.How can eBooks match this in the future? They may never do, but perhaps we will find that the features I listed in my previous post assume greater nostalgic significance instead: highlighted text, notes that you made back in your University days, and the ability to search and find all of this very easily.

Second,I noted in the last post that receiving marked up books from a friend is something that can't be duplicated by eBooks - yet. Also, you can't lend a copy of an eBook to someone else

Third,I think the same risks apply to paper books too. I have misplaced favorite books over the years or lent them to people and not had them returned. However, eBook and eReader manufacturers certainly need to address this issue before consumers are truly comfortable buying them over paper books.

6.To what extent can you trust the mass media nowadays?

7.What do you think are the main causes of stress in language learning?

What remedies do you have for this particular form of stress?

I think the main causes of stress in language learning is the lack of language

learning environment. Language as a tool should be used to use in our life and job, not to learn. When we learn a language, we study it on class, but we did n’t use it in our job and life. To remedy this form of stress, I think we should often use it in our job and life. If we don’t have such an environment, we should create such an environment.

8.Do you think people can avoid stress? If yes, mention some ways or ti

ps people may use.

Nowadays, people are confronted with more and more stress, especially in modern cities. I think people can’t avoid stress but can reduce stress. Firstly, one can

choose a particular sport which he really likes and sticks to it. This can not only give him a good health, but also make him relaxed. Secondly, he can enjoy a

pleasant holiday after a long period of tedious working. Thirdly, having a nice sleep or just lying idly in the sofa and reading an interesting book can make us feel comfortable.
