But there are so many people in the compartment of the trains. It takes me much energy to plunge into the crowd.Jian’ an: Yes. Truly, China has the largest population in the world, especially from 1980s. the rising life expectancy and declining fertility rates, China has become one of the aging society in the world. Do you think so?ChenCheng: Yes. Most of elder people in China can’t enjoy their golden years because of some social problems, such as the welfare problem, pension problem, and so on.Jian’ an: Yes. Agree with you.I know someone who take a little pension after retirtment, living a hard life.I think our government should strengthen the elderly welfare system and perfect the pension funds.ChenCheng: Elder people cannot enjoy their golden years without enough money. They cannot travel, go to theare, watch a movie and so on.Jian’ an: In most of Chinese family, the elderly people feel their lives losing meaning for being at home all days. In addition, they feel lonely, especially without their children around. In order to solve these problem, I think we should encourage them to communicate with others as much as possible.ChenCheng: In fact, there are some other elderly people still working after retirement, not for money, but to show their value.Jian’ an: That’s the question. People must find something interest to do themselves, such as reading, baking, drawing, flower arrangement. They should not just be a babysitter.ChenCheng: That is what we can do to help them. Except for money, we can help them to find something interest. We should take care of our children on ourselves, freeing our parents.Jian’ an: I think some elder women may have found their interest, who dancing in the square. But fewer elder men would do that. Maybe they like to play chess. We can help them.ChenCheng: After all, no one really wants to be old, and perhaps all like to be young forever.Unit FourJian’ an: Hi, ChenCheng, Good morning.ChenCheng: Hi, Jian’ an, Good morning. What did you do last weekend?Jian’ an: Hum, I went to some beautiful place with my friends and play ed shuttle cock with other friends.ChenCheng: Oh, Seems you have so many friends. So what kinds of qualities do you look for in your friends?Jian’ an: I like people who are open and friendly. Those people are usually more active and fun to be with. I like spending time with them. Sometimes we go outside or play sports together. What about you?ChenCheng: I don’t like to make friends with people who is not honest. I think honesty is very important to me.Jian’ an: I think it’s important to most people. Normally, the problem is that you can only find it out whether someone is honest or not by getting to know them.ChenCheng: you can find it out from their friends. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flocks together.Jian’ an: If you know any friends of them, you can’t rely on your friends to introduce people to you all the time. You have to go out and make the first move sometimes. Also, I like the funny people. How about you?ChenCheng: Yes, I do. Funny guys can make the atmosphere lively during a party. They can also draw you out when you are depressed. But sometimes they don’t seem to take things seriously. You will never know whether they are joking or serious. Jian’ an: oh, sometimes it’s hard to tell, but if you know the person fairly well, you can usually tell from their expression about what they are really talking.ChenCheng: Maybe it will work. Thanks for your advice. In my opinion, the most important quality in friendship is keeping words. I also will help my friends to get out of trouble. Do you think so?Jian’an: Of course. I will give my hands if necessary. How do you treat your friends? Do you visit your friend without invitation ?ChenCheng: Sometimes. And I always keep open house for my friends, too. They quite enjoy themselves in my house. We all have the same character, same interests.We will argue when we have different opinions on some events, keeping our opinion at the end of the argument. But it can’t hurt our relationship.Jian’ an: So do I. In fact, it also share our ideas. I also want to make friends with some people whose personality is very prominent.ChenCheng: Nor am I. But why we become good friends? Haha…Jian’ an: Yes. Maybe people don’t like to have friends that are all same. Most people like a little variety in their lives----including a variety of characteristics in their friends.Unit FiveChenCheng: Hi, Jian’ an, Good morning.Jian’ an: Hi, ChenCheng, Good morning. Did you read the big news about the Suning these days?ChenCheng: Do you mean the news about the Sunning acquiring the Inter Milan football club?Jian’ an: Yes! It’s inspiring news not only for football funs but also for all Chinese. Because after Suning confirming the acquisition of about 70% of inter’s equity, Suning is becoming the first Chinese enterprise to control the European giants of the rights to say.ChenCheng: Yes, China has been playing much important role in the global market. But right now, with the China economy slows down, more and more difficulties emerged. Such as: imbalance in development, surprisingly inefficient, excessive productive capacity and so on. Do you think so?Jian’ an: Yes! Especially for the house price of China, one side, in the eastern cit ies, house price increases sharply year by year. But on the other hand, in the cit ies of the west-central, nobody care about that. So I think China should strengthen structural reform of the supply front according to the president Xi stressed on the government conference.ChenCheng: I have read one news about steel production. Chinese steel production reached 800 million tons in 2015. But we can’t product die steel which used in ballpoint pen.Jian’an: It shocks me. I can’t imagine that. We must increase investment in high-tech research in order to get more profit.ChenCheng: And also, for us, we should improve our creativity to promote industrial level from “made in China” to “created in China” and to “intelligent manufacturing in China”. And I think our economy is so strong that our government can lead us out of difficulties.。
