1.Drunk driving
A:Hi!Did you read the daily news this morning?
B: Oh yeah, and the headline is about an accident. It‟s so scary!
A: Yes, a truck had a crash with a car at the cross. Then the ruins fired at once and no one got caught in the accident.
B: It‟s so bad! But how could such a horrible accident happen?
A: As you know, just drunk driving again.
B: Oh, drunk driving! So why can‟t those drivers be more responsible? They should make sure that driving a car requires much higher wariness!
A: So it is. And people often lose their self- discipline. If we want to decline the frequency of accidents caused by drunk driving, the society should have zero tolerance on drunk driving.
B: And some measures should be taken.
A: For example?
B: First, the penalty for drunk driving should be more severe to have deterrence effect. The current penalty for license suspension is clearly not enough.
A: Yes! And jail time should be considered for each violation, especially repeated offenders.
B: You‟re right. Second, there ne eds to stricter enforcement to catch drunk drivers. Police should be granted power to do on-site alcohol level test.
A: Compulsory measures must be taken to ensure that those regulations are carried out.
B: Yeah, and third, there needs to be stricter prosecution to ensure all violators are trialed and punished.
A: Last but not least, all citizens should be closed to ensure those with special privileges, for example, those officials, rich people, they can‟t ignore the rule of laws like they do all the time.
B: Yeah, it‟s so fine to exchange my thoughts with you.
2.Gender difference (性别差异)
A: Hey! What are you doing?
B: Thinking about the differences between men and women.
A: Oh? About what?
B: Er, the gender difference. As you know, many differences between man and woman should be originated in gender differences.
A: Yeah, a latest survey shows that these differences can be classified as character diversity, complicated levels of abilities and different treating in job hunting.
B: Yeah, and it is generally assumed that women are more careful, patient and considerate than those “sloppy
A: On the other hand, it is generally assumed that women are more careful, patient and considerate than men while men exceed women in other areas especially in logical reasoning such as mathematics and space .For this reason, men are believed to be more skillful in dealing with tangible but vexed issues.
B:And w hat’s more, men often stand for ambition and aggression while women are reckoned to be moderate and favourable as a rule.
A: I agree with you.Consequently, male leaders are more often appointed as final decision makers while females are believed to be more apt in team work When people, both men and women ,begin to find some dreaming positions, employers always inevitably attach great significance in different genders even if both of them are qualified for parity.
B:Yeah, and such fact can signify the gender discrimination in society as a result of gender differences.Although everyone must concede this objective reality to our daily life, no one should not exaggerate this difference to create some barriers to prevent women’s progress making.
A: And just bear that,…All Men Are Created Equal’, so gender differences are not exempt in judging a person can only by his or her abilities.
B: Insightful!( 很有见地) To make it come true still needs our efforts!
3. Small kids learning English in China
A: Hi! Could I ask you a question?
B: Yes, please!
A: En, you know, we use English frequently, but it is not our mother tongue. When we began to acquire it, it is so hard because you should try to master a language from a totally different scene.
B: Oh, I still remember when I was a child, I had tried my best to understand the meaning of the text. It is a hard working. But it‟s a fresh learning experience which is different from my previous.
A: So, How old are you at that time? You know, nowadays, many kids start learning English very early. Even before they use their mother tongue. They are often forced to learn two languages which are so different from each oth er. It is too hard to them. In my opinion, if a person can‟t use his mother tongue, that would be one of the biggest regrets in his life.
B: I agree with you. I start my English learning in my junior middle school. At that time, I was 12 years old. So I am glad that I could use my native language proficiently(熟练地).
A: Yeah. But nowadays the kids who are educated in schools are poor in Chinese. I think they should only take English as a course when they still can‟t use Chinese proficiently. It‟s such a pity that a person forget his mother
