1.TALK ABOUT A BOOK YOU HAVE READ THAT WAS important to you for some reason.explain why the
book was important to you.givespecific details and examples to explain your answer. - sample 1:
The book that was important to me was an instruction manual on how to pronounce English.
When I was a middle school student, I did not speak English very well. I always confused the Chinese
pronunciation with the English pronunciation, and I was frustrated with that. So I used this book to
practice a lot. And there was also a video with this book, so I watched the video, I practiced and imitated
the pronunciation.
Now I have improved my English and also gained some confidence because of the book.
sample 2:
Recently, I read a book named Keep the aspidistra flying written by George Orwell. The book influences
me a lot because the story has something that touches my heart. The story talks about a man who wants
to be a poet and who abandons many well-paying jobs to pursue his dream of being a poet. I have a
similar experience of quitting a very good job in order to be a writer. Also, the man in the story is lack of
money because he works as a bookstore assistant and thus has a very low salary. He lives in a shabby
apartment and sometimes have no money to buy food. Again, I've got similar experience. I once lived in
a cramped apartment alone and had no money. The book is important to me because it touches me and
gives me encouragement to persist.
2.SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT TELEVISION HAS HAD A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY.OTHERS
BELIEVE IT HAS HAD A NEGATIVE INFLUECE ON SOCIETY.WHICH DO YOU AGREE WITH AND WHY? -
sample 1:
I think the TV has a negative effect on the society. The reasons are as follows:
First of all, there is an increase of violence on television and it would do harm to the children. In fact the
children are too young towatch these programs.
In addition, spending too much time on TV is not good for people's health because they just sit there
and hardly move.The most important thing is that a lot of people nowadays rely on the programs on TV
to avoid the reality. Gradually, they become isolated from the society.
sample 2:
I think television has a positive influence on society. It's a good source of news. The members in the
society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what's
happening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with the latest
events. Besides, television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different shows on TV such
as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Late show with David
,Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost and Friends. They all consider TV
as a good way of relaxing themselves and of killing time. So, with the news and same TV programs,
people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk about in any event. Therefore, society actually
benefits from TV.
3.what do you miss most about your home when you are away? use specific details in your
explaination. - I miss food most when I am away from my home, particularly the noodles cooked by my
father. When I was in high school, my father always cooked noodles for me at night. Every day after
evening self-study classes, I came home and had the noodles. The noodles were delicious, coz you know,
after long-time study, it's easy to be tired and hungry. So the first thing I did when I got home at that
time was to eat noodles. Sometimes, my father would add beef to the noodles and beef is kind of my
favorite meat. The most important ingredient of the noodles is the specially-made sauce. Sadly, I don't
know how exactly my father makes the sauce. But whenever I go back home, I need to have the noodles
cooked by my father.
addition things:
Situational awareness together, our soul and energy become united and then we can figure everything
out in good situations and disappointing situations.
4.many university now offer academic courses over the internet .however ,some people still prefer
learning in traditional classrooms .which do you think is better?explain why? - I prefer to take academic
courses on the Internet. Since the courses are offered online, I don't have to live near campus. All I need
is a computer and a well-connected Internet. I can study at home and anywhere convenient. Besides, I
don't have to worry about my housing, nor do I need to drive back and forth. So it saves me money and
time. Also, it's easier to record online courses so I can review the part I don't understand. With the
recorded courses, I can have a good review before final examination.
5.talk about a place you enjoyed going to or visiting when you were a child.describe the place.explain
why you enjoyed it. - When I was a child, I enjoyed going to an Internet Bar. It is still open now. It's only
5-minute's walk away from my home and sits beside the street. The internet bar is not very big. It only
has two rooms and each is full of computers. In summer vacations, My friends and I usually went there
early in the morning playing many computer games such as Age of Empire, Star War and Counter Strike.
The owner of the bar is a very kind person. He opened the door very early in the morning just for us. My
friends and I occupied a room, sit side by side and yelled to each other when we were playing games. It
was a lot of fun.
6.do you agree or disagree with the following statement ?why or why not?use details and exaples to
explain your answer .it is more important to study math or sience than it is to study art or literature. - I
strongly disagree with the statement that studying math or science is more important than studying art
or literature. Of course, math and science are very important. But it is meaningless to say that they are
, more important than art or literature. We admire Newton for his scientific achievements such as
Newton's first law. We equally admire Leonardo for his art accomplishments such as Mona Lisa. These
two people are not comparable because they are in two different fields. So some people may like
studying science. Some may like studying literature. They all make contributions to the human
civilizations. So math or science and art or literature, they are equally important.
7.talk about a photogragh or painting you have seen that was memorable.explain what you liked or
disliked about it. - sample 1:when i was about fourteen years old i draw a fantastic painting ,it is
memorable for me ,first because as my number one hobby painting text me to different eras
atmosphore and feelings and it can be observed and dijestied by many angels,second,i can express my
feeling through painting and by the painting styles like realism and impresionism and express issues such
as customs ,fear,love,treachery,politics(racial prejudge), ignorance,and they need no passport why being
painter .the human condition and as well as exsurronding can be capture in the memory thanks to art
painting and photograghing.
sample2:
I can't forget the photograph hung on the wall of my grandparents' apartment. It's our big family photo.
It was taken in one Spring Festival when all relatives gathered together. It's very hard to unite all the
family members since my aunts and uncles all live in another city. Usually, some uncles or aunts
wouldn't come back home to spend spring festival. But at that time, they all came back. In the photo I
can see myself standing at the third row with my parents beside me and all my aunts, uncles and cousins
standing in rows. In the front row sit my grandparents. They were very happy. We all got our huge
smiles on our faces. It was an unforgettable moment and the photograph captured it.
8.some people have one career throughout their lives.other people do different kinds of work at
different points in their lives.which do you think is better?explain why? - I think having only one career
throughout life is better. Everyone can make accomplishments if he or she focuses on one thing for a
long time. It's the cumulative knowledge that helps a person become excellent in a specific area. If
people always change jobs or careers, they can't accumulate their knowledge. In other words, they can't
be experts or specialists. Some of them may even be lost in society and don't know what they are good
at. I have a friend who always changed his jobs. He never worked in a company for longer than a year.
He was a salesman, a teacher and an assistant. He still doesn't what to do now and is considering to
change his job.
9.if friends from another country were going to spend time in your country .what city or place would
you suggest they visit?using details and examples,explain why? - I would suggest them to visit
Chongqing. I lived there for five years so I am familiar with it. Firstly, Chongqing has a unique scenery.
It's a mountainous city. Because of this special terrain, the buildings and Pedestrian Malls are built in a
different way from other cities. For example, the fourth floor of one building may be the ground level of
