What do you think is the most serious challenge of living in a big city?With the development of economy, the speed of urbanization of our country is faster and faster. The area of cities is larger and larger. More and more people crowd into cities, resulting in larger and larger population of citcities. The abundance of consumer goods in big city indeed bring us much convenience. However, there are also many challenges and pressures living in a big city. Such as crowded transport, dirty air, noisy street and so on. Among these challenges, I believe, the most serious one is the tense pace of life. To get enough consumer goods and live a happy life, We have to work every day to make money. We get up early in the morning and go to work in a hurry even no time to have breakfast. After a day,s busy work, we go home at night and go to sleep. We spend half of our time to work even forget to stop to enjoy our life. Sometimes I think that we are so stupid to devote ourselves to work and forget the purpose we work for. But most of time, we have to do so. So that is the reason for my view.Say something about the impact of horror films on young children.When it comes to horror films, opinions vary from person to person. It is the same to young children. I believe horror films have both positive and negative impact on young children, the point depend on the attitudes of children on horror films. Horror films indeed excite us greatly compared with other films. For children like horror films, watching horror films is an interesting adventure. Kids who always watch horror films would have more curiosity on the world and life. This results that children watching horror films have the spirit of exploration and innovation. However, for those timid and do not like horror films, watching horror films may make them have nightmares. What is worse, it may lead to psychological illness and make them more timid, resulting them afraid of trying unfamiliar things. So it is concluded that if children like horror films, they are admitted to watch them, if they do not like, do not force them to watch.What factors influence you most in your choice of a job?With the increasing of population of our country and the diversification of economy, it is becoming more and more difficult for our young to find a satisfactory job. Too many factors affect us to make a decision when we look for a job. Such as the salary, the working place, the working content and so on. Among these factors related to our job, I think the most important one is the working content. Imagine that you have a job which has a high pay but you do not like. You have to spend half of your time of one day to do it, what a painful thing it will be. That means you will be unhappy half of your day. So what we make so much money for? Does not we work for living a happy life? However, we make a lot of money but lose happiness. How ridiculous it is! So, in my opinion, the most important factor is working content when I chose a job.How would you prepare for a job interview?As we all know, with the population of graduates increasing year by year, the pressure of the young to find a satisfactory job is bigger and bigger. Because of the fierce competition, it is becoming more and more difficult for the young to get a job. So it is important to make full preparations before we attend a job interview. First of all, we should collect lots of information of the job we apply and have enough understanding about it. besides, we can learn some background information of the company we apply, which shows we have a real interest in the position. Then we should prepare some questions which may occur in the interview and make us look more confident. Last but not least, we should dress ourselves properly to leave a good impression to the interviewer. After all, a neat dressing indicates we attach great importance to the interview.Do you think it is desirable to have a job in the same city where your parents live? Give your reasons, please.As we all know, there are too many factors to be considered when we look for a job. The working place is one of these. Although some young people oppose to live in the same city with their parents for independence, I believe most young men are willing to live in the same city with their parents if other condition is acceptable. It is desirable to have a job in the same citywhere our parents live. It can bring us too much convenience to live in the same city with our parents. On the one hand, it is convenient for us to see our parents when we are free. Our parents are old and they need our company to relieve their aloneness. Once they fall ill, we can send them to hospital quickly and look after them carefully. On the other hand, we can get some advices from them when we encounter some trouble because they are experienced. So I think it is desirable to have a job in the same city where our parents live.Some people say that we live in a TV culture. Do you agree? Give your reasons for your answer.As we all know, with the improvement of society, the media industry is more and more developed. TV is one of the popular methods of these media. The information spreading through TV is influencing our life constantly. We can know some incident happened far away from us timely. We can entertain ourselves through watching TV show. The TV advertisements even influence our consumption. We have to admit that TV is indeed influencing our life greatly. So some people say that we live in a TV culture. However, I only agree to this view partly. Because there is a greater force exists, that is internet. We all know internet. It has more informations, faster speed, freer choices than TV, and it is becoming more and more popular among people, especially the young. We can also use internet to do many things that TV can not. TV is backward compared with internet. So I believe we are living in an internet culture instead of TV culture.Do you think private cars should be encouraged?With the development of economy, people are becoming richer and richer. To make our trip convenient, more and more people consider buying a car for themselves. However, Things are not as simple as we think. With the increasing of cars, a series of problems occurred. First，the traffic is not as convenient as we thought. Too many cars on the road often result in traffic jams, which make us have to spend almost half of our time onroad for waiting. In addition, too many cars will lead to environmental problems. As we all know, air pollution has become a serious environmental problem of our country now. One of the reason is Automobile exhaust. Environmental pollution will bring chronic harm to our health. So I think private cars should not be encouraged and we should go out by public transit or by bike.Why do you think some Western countries encourage people to ride bicycles?As we all know, environmental problems have attracted more and more people’s attention, especially in developed countries, people’s environmental awareness is strong. Some western countries encourage their people to go out by riding bicycles.I think, it is mainly on account of this reason. Riding bicycles has its own advantages compared with driving a car. First of all, as mentioned above, it is an environment friendly method of travel. More people to ride bicycle means less cars on the road, which can decrease greatly the emission of automobile exhaust. Moreover, riding bicycles every day can build up our bodies. Because of working, most of us have to sit in front of a computer and have little time to take exercise every day. Riding bicycles to and from work provides us such an opportunity. In addition, bicycle is light and convenient. We needn’t worry that there is no gasoline. So，I think , some western countries encourage their people to ride bicycles.Why do you think so many people prefer to immigrate to the United States of America?As we all know, with the improvement of people’s economic condition and the convenience of transportation. More and more rich people prefer to immigrate to developed countries, especially to USA. Why do they choose America as the immigrant country. I think it is related to the living condition and institution of America. We all know that America is the most economically developed country of the world. Immigrants may think that it will greatly improve their career to immigrate to America. Furthermore, there are beautiful environment and relatively sound institution there. People living there can enjoy more comprehensive insurance than their previous country.From the long-term perspective, it can also provide a better education to their children. Taking all the advantages into account, so many people choose America as the immigrant country.Do you think it’s possible to remove all commercials from TV? Your reasons for your choice.Every one of us watches TV. When you are watching a TV show, what is the most disgusting thing do you think? Maybe most of us will say that it’s the TV advertisement. Indeed, we are all puzzled by TV commercials. How do we hope to watch TV merrily and without the disturbance of commercials! But is it possible to remove all commercials from TV? I’m afraid the answer is no. To clarify the reason, we must understand how TV stations operate and profit. TV stations gain profit mainly through three ways: TV commercials, the production of TV show and the allowance from government. Among the three ways, the income from commercials is most. That means if all commercials are removed from TV, TV station will lose a large amount of income. Which TV station do you think is willing to do so? So I believe that removing all commercials from TV, at least in the short term, is impossible.It is said that successful people have better language ability than those who are less successful. Please comment.Someone think that successful people have better language ability than those of less successful. To some extent, this view is reasonable because successful people have more opportunities to improve their language skill. Successful people often meet various persons and communicate with them. They also frequently attend all kinds of conferences and give speeches in them. These all contribute to their language skill. However, we can’t conclude that successful people are surely better than less successful people in language ability. Because the standard to judge success and failure is uncertain. For example, an entrepreneur and an English teacher, can we affirm who is successful and who has better language ability. So , asI see it, this viewpoint of successful people have better language ability than those who are less successful is not true all the time.Some people spend a lot of money on hobbies, do you think it worthwhile? Why or why not?With the development of society and improvement of people’s life, we had meet the basic demands of life like food and clothes. To make our life colourful, more and more people begin to develop their hobbies. It is a happy thing to have a hobby. Most of us have to spend more than one thirds of our life to work. The time we truly use to enjoy the life is so limited. If we have a hobby, it can bring too much joy to our original insipid life. The spiritual enjoyment it bring to us is immeasureable with money. So it is reasonable to spend some money on our hobbies. However, there should be a limit to our time and money spending on our hobbies. At least, it should not affect our normal life and the happiness of our family. So I believe it’s acceptable to spend moderate money on our hobbies, the point is how to keep a balance.Do you think having a hobby will affect your studies? Give your reasons?To make our life colourful, more and more people begin to develop their hobbies. Someone think that having a hobby will affect our studies because we may spend too much time on them. However, I don’t think so.I believe it is a happy thing to have a hobby. Hobbies are very important to us. Without hobby, life won’t be as colourful as it should and we will lose too much joy. Hobbies can help us to relieve the unhappiness and anxiety in our life and make life easy and pleasant. If controlled well, hobbies can help us study better instead of affecting our studies for it is a kind of relaxation after boring and tedious study. So I think that the opinion of having a hobby will affect our study is partial. Do you think the moral standards of a person will affect his or her future career? Please comment.With the development of society and the improvement of people's stature. The moral standards of a person is becoming more and more important in the society. Some people think thatthe moral standards of a person will affect his or her future career. I can’t agree this opinion any more. The moral standards of a person can influence his or her life in various aspects. As we all know, because of the need of our work, we have to contact with others every day. A man with good morals can get on well with others and be more popular with them. Furthermore, persons of noble morality will think over more for others and be more responsible for their work. So they are more appreciated by their boss. These all contribute to their promotion in career. So I think a man with good morals will gain more achievements.Comment on the impact of one-child policy of Chinese government on the growth of children.As we all know, China is the most populous country of the world. The large amount of population of China brings many problems to the country. Such as the limited resource, the scarce cultivated land, the fierce competition and so on. To relieve the pressure of the population, Chinese government published the one-child policy. The policy indeed slow the increasing speed of the population while it has an effect on the growth of these children. On the one hand, the only child of a family can get more care and love from their parents, which can contribute to the child to get better education. From a long perspective, it’s helpful to improve the quality of the population. On the other hand, the only child may be spoiled by their parents and become selfish and self-centered. In addition, being in a comfortable life, they may be fragile to undergo hardships. These are harmful to their growth. On the whole, it’s a good policy, I believe, because the disadvantage could be avoided if well controlled.What kind of qualifications do you think a person should possess to be a successful manager?A successful manager is very important for the operation of a company. The efficiency of the work and the order of employees are all depend on the ability of the manager. So some specific qualifications are necessary for being an excellent manager. To be a successful manager, I think, the following qualifications should be possessed. First of all, thecommunicating ability is important. As a manager, a man need to communicate with his staffs frequently and express his commands. So it’s important to make his staffs underdstand him. Then the coordinated ability is necessary. It’s inevitable to encounter some unexpected problems in the work. So it’s needful for manager to coordinate all factors and keep the normal work. Last but not least, it’s crucial for a successful manager to perceive the potential threats in work and avoid them.Do you think people’s ability in language is important? Why or why not?With the development of society, the communication between different countries is becoming more and more frequent. It’s necessary for us to master a foreign language if we want to keep up with the trend. There are too many advantages learning a foreign language, especially English. As we all know, there are lots of foreign production around us, and most of them are marked in English. We can easily get the basic information of these goods if we understand English. In a developing country, we have a lot of knowledge to learn from developed countries. We can know the latest technology in the world through reading the foreign papers immediately if we know the foreign language. In addition, it can also improve our competitiveness when we look for a job if we master a foreign language. So I believe the ability in language is certain important.Comment on the role of Chinese language in international communication.With the development of Chinese economy, the role of China in the world is more and more important. We all know that China is the most populous country and the second largest economic entity of the world. As a result, the impact of China on the world is significant. Because of the increasingly frequent international communication and the convenience of transportation, Chinese is spread all over the world. As one of the official languages of United Nations, Chinese language is also attracting more and more foreigners’ attention. Now, more and more foreigners begin to learn Chinese. Chinese language can not only help foreigners to communicate withChinese, but also help them to understand China and Chinese culture. So on the other hand, Chinese language also deepen foreigners’understanding of China and impact of Chinese culture. From a long perspective, it can promote the development of China and the harmony of the world.Say something about the reasons for the widespread use of English.As we all know, English is a global language. Not only the people in our country, but also people in other countries who are not native English speakers in the world learn English. For the widespread use of English, I think, there are the following reasons. First of all, the historical factors should not be neglected. We all know that England was the biggest colonial country of the world at some point in the history, which greatly promote the spread of English though it is compelled for the colonized people. The second is the economic factor. We all know that in the economically developed countries in the world, most are English-speaking. Economic dealings can promote the spread of culture, furthermore contributing to the spread of language. In addition, English is more easily mastered than other languages according to some experts. So, all these reasons contribute to the widespread use of English.。
