第一题:
1. Describe an activity you and your family enjoy most.
The activity that popular with my family is the basketball.
First, whenever each family member is available, we would bring the ball to a
park near to my house. You know why we all like to play basketball? We c
an work in a team, cooperate with each other and have some fun. That’s a rar
e and valuable chance to enhance our relationship.

were both a little bit overweight, so we decided to lose weight by playing bas ketball. As a result, every morning we would play in the park. When the new semester began, we both lost 10kg! That’s why my family all prefer the bask
etball.
2. What can u do to improve our environment?
I am afraid, if we wanted to improve our environment, we would slow down the industrialization.
First, dramatically development of industrialization creates a lot of exhausts that pollute the air and the water. For example, noxious water released from a chemical plant would kill fish of many species in the sea. If human being ate the toxic fish, they would get infected as well.
Second, industrialization demands a lot of scarce resource; therefore, some of them are extinct and unrecoverable. Since the industrial revolution happened in 19th century,
a lot of trees had been cut down for modern development, so that many forests disappeared from the planet. What a pity!
Therefore, if our industrialization would slow down a little bit, it would give the environment enough time to recover from devastate.
3. Describe an artist, musician or popular singer you do not like. Give spe
cific reasons.
Personally, the popular singer I dislike most is … for the following reasons.
First, she’s not as benevolent as other celebrities. For example, many famous persons have donated thousands of dollars to WenChuang, where the catastrophe happened. But she, the mean woman, had no such action at all.
Second, this woman is arrogant and haughty. Sometimes she shouts at her fans and drives them away. You know, if her fans gave up their favor on her, she would become
nobody. Worse, she always brags that she is the top singer in our country and slanders other singers.
Therefore, she is the one I dislike most.

Then, my mum noticed my melancholy and began to encourage me and took me outdoors to make friends with neighborhood kids.

I accumulated words from American movies and TV series, which means I spent a lot time in watching them. But because of great efforts I have paid, now I can totally understand what foreigners speaking.
Second, another difficult part for me is spoken English. So whenever I had spare time, I always went to English corner to practice my oral English with foreigners.

13. Describe the most important development in your country in the past 20 years.
Personally the most development occurred in my country in the last 20ys is the technology development.
First, such development brings us a new form of transportation, subway. Subway can save us a lot of time. Especially in a big city, there’re a lot of traffic jams. If I drive my car to school, sometimes it takes me more than one hour, while 20m is enough to get there by subway.
Second, the development also introduces computers to all of Chinese families, which really help us a lot. For example, one day I should deal with my historical paper, but I was lack of such materials. I turned to the computer, within seconds, I have found a lot of relevant information. Therefore, I have finished my paper so rapidly.
14. Describe the most disappointed experience and why.

I have already bought the tickets, booked the restaurant and even made a well-detailed plan about this trip, anything had been done. However, my university demands us to participate in voluntary services in communities. I really want to have a try and offer assistances for the people who need.

But rock music would worsen my feeling, so that I can’t express my negative emotions. Second, the reason why I dislike rock music mainly lie on the rock singers. Their dress-up are weird and sometimes scary. And the way they sing is too drastic to bear, so that their shows would never attract my attention.

First, not evey body likes to studying in university. Just like my best Jason, he is a very intelligent and talented boy. He has already learned through all of subjects that required in university by himself when he was a freshman. Therefore, it’s ok to quit from the university under such circumstance. What he needs is the practical experiences in society, rather than the knowledge in university.
Second, if Jason was forced to remain in university, I am afraid it would do no good to
his development. He has already set up his aims and targets, so that he has a clear realization that what he wants and what he ‘s dreaming of. Staying at university would
restrict his ambitions and potentials, so that I support his decision without question.
25. Where would you like to live, Mountain, forest, beach, or desert? Personally speaking, the place I’d like to go much is the forest. I prefer it for the following reasons.
First of all, the air in the forest is much fresher than that in the city. And I know doctors will suggest people to go there to breathe in more oxygen. I have a cousin, Jimmy, who used to have problems with his lungs and his doctor told him to go to the forest as much as he could. Now he is well again.
Also, we can hike or even have picnics in the forest as long as we do not get lost. It must be such a nice experience to feel the breeze and watch the green trees sitting on the grass with your friends while you can enjoy your delicious food.
Anyway I’d like to go the forest if I can.

that I have to spend 2 hours in library only takes me 1 hour in my bedroom.
27. In your opinion, What qualities should a leader have? Give specific reasons to
support your opinion.
Well, first of all, I think, a good leader should be encouraging enough.
For example, I had a boss, Jason, who used to say, "You are a capable young man, I know yo u can do it well” whenever I was not confident enough with my job. With his encouragement I was so successful in my job and became a team leader in 6 months. Also, I believe a good leader should set good examples for all team-members. I remember my boss Jason used to work harder than any of us who were working with him in a team, even though he was the boss. We were so moved by what he did, and everybody followed his suit. So we were the most efficient team.
28. When choosing a friend which of the following qualities you value most: honesty, loyalty, or sense of humor?
In my point of view, I like to stay with an loyal friend. Loyalty means always being honest with their friends and staying right beside them when they fail down.
I’d love to talk about Tom, we’d been good friends since we were kids. Once I was supposed to bring my lunch to school, Tom immediately took out his lunch and gave it to me.
Besides he is always the first one to point out my weaknesses directly. Thanks for his straight forwardness, I made quite a progress. I really appreciate his loyalty and treat him like my lifelong friend.
29 Which do you like to read, magazines, novels or poems? And why?
I like reading novels better than magazine, poetry or anything else for the following reasons.
First of all, novels are always interesting, taking Harry Potter as an example. Whenever I read it I can’t help but laughing all the time, releasing the pressure from my study and have a peace of mind.
Also I believe this novel has opened a new world to me. The writer of Harry Potter Joanne Rowling is such a good writer that her imagination has broadened my horizon.
Previously I knew very little about the world of wizards but now I have joined a group of Harry Potter fans with whom I can have lots of discussions about Harry Potter from time to time.
30. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.
I’m gonna talk about Harry Potter
First of all, I have learned tons of vocabularies and sentence structures of English from it. Especially in the course of my preparation of TOEFL, I really use it as a helpful tool to review those complicated words.
Also, sometimes I feel depressed and wanna give up, I turn to the story and gain some courage. Yeah, the hero in the story protected the people he loved and reached the final destination by great efforts.
In addition, I get used to reading a chapter of Harry Potter before go to bed, and it
helps me to have a sweet night and be in a good mood.
第二题：
1. Should the parents let their children practical course like cooking and personal finance
Personally speaking, I think that parents shouldn’t let their kids do those items. First, their kids are busy on their school work, they have much homework and exams to prepare and review, even some of them can’t stop studying until midnight. So their parents shouldn’t increase their heavy burdens, making their schedule even unbearable.
Second, such work may be dangerous for kids. Like cook, it is easy to cut themselves if they can’t be proficient in it. And kids are lack of self-controlling abilities, which means it’s hard for them to handle their finance. They may squander that money out within seconds.

I totally agree with such statement for the following reasons.
First, parents are the first persons I recognized since I was born, which means they are the only ones I can trust without hesitation. So I can accept the knowledge they teach entirely and effectively. But I always be skeptical to the things told by my teachers and friends.
Second, my parents are much older than any of my friends, which means they are more experienced. Therefore, when I am on a tough spot and can’t figure out how to solve it, I always consult with my parents and they can give me valuable advices, more effective than those from my friends.

4. Somebody prefers to go to the same places in vacation, but others choose to go to different places and spend a little time at each place.
Personally, I will prefer to go to different places and spend a little time at each place for the following reasons.
First, you know, the time is so limited that I try to visit places as many as I can, which means I have no choice but setting up a busy travelling schedule. Because visiting different places will give me a chance to be exposed to different cultures. Second, travelling to different places will help me get acquaintances with different types of people. I have known that Americans are enthusiastic, Japanese are humble and English are gentle. Dealing with such different people made me grasp more
communicating skills.
5. Some students prefer to take a essay question where they must write an essay to a question. Other students prefer to take a test with objective questions. Which type of exam questions do you prefer? Give reasons and examples in your explanation.

Second, you may possibly to get a higher score on essay. Because no strict grading standard to judge your answer. As long as you fully develop your points of view, you don’t worry the result. But if you make a wrong choice in your objective questions, your score gonna be poor.

so I have no spare time to pay attention to the news and events.
Second, some news and events have nothing to do with me, so I don’t care. As a student, what I should focus on is the things only related to the subjects I learn. Others,
just like political news, economic news and some entertainment stuff, are unnecessary for me. Why I waste my limited time to watch!
So I have no choice but preferring the second statement.
7. You prefer to face challenge all by yourself or depend on other people’s help. Personally, I prefer to face challenge depending on other p eople’s help.
First, you know, as a child who is 16 years old, I have no much many experiences as my parents do. when I come across some difficult and can’t figure out by myself.
