C類----Book:
1-11. Talk about your favorite book when you were a child, explain why you liked to read it in details.
When I was a child, my favorite book was definite the Harry Potter.
To begin with, this book brings me much imagination. For example, whenever I read the interesting things happened in the magic school and adventures from Harry and his friends, my imagination will be evoked and a lot of illusions will be appearing in my mind. The feeling is wonderful.
What’s more, this book greatly improves my writing skills. I am a Chinese student learning English. This book’s descriptions are vivid; by reading them I learnt how to use metaphor, parallelism, exaggeration, understatement and so on. Also the book enlarged my vocabulary. All these contribute to a better writing.
That’s why I like reading Harry Potter when I was a child.
2-16. Some people prefer to buy new books while others prefer to buy used ones. Which do you prefer? Please use examples and reason to support your choice.
To be honest, I prefer to buy the used books.
First of all, buying the used ones can help save money. Now I am a college student, at the beginning of every semester, I may have to buy some textbooks I will use. If I buy the new ones, it may cost me around 100 dollars; however, if I buy the used ones from others, it only cost me around 20 dollars.
Second of all, this can help us to protect the environment. Actually the papers from the books are made of the woods. If we always buy new books, that means people will have to cut more trees, and this may result in the soil erosion, the sand storm and so on. If we buy the used one, people will cut fewer trees.
2-15.Some people prefer to listen to audio books whereas others prefer to read printed books. Which do you prefer and why? Please use examples and reasons to support your choice.
To be honest, I prefer to listen to audio books
Firstly, audio books are more convenient. For example, when I am in the crowd on my way to school, hardly will I have the room to hold a printed book, let alone reading. However, if listening to the audio ones, plugging my earphones, I won’t be disturbed by the crowd or the noises.
And also, this can help us to protect the environment. Actually the papers from the books are made of the woods. If we always buy printed books, that means people will have to cut more trees, and this may result in the soil erosion, the sand storm and so on. If we use the audio ones, people will cut fewer trees.
D類----features：
1-18. Which member in your family shares similar traits and behavior with you and why? Please use examples and reasons to support your explanation.
The family member having similar traits with me is absolutely my father. We are very extroverted.
For example, both my father and I like to make friends. My father always joins in some clubs, such as the golf club, the skiing club, the wine club and so on, to know some new people. And he always shares with us about the new things and new friends he meets. Also I am fond of making new friends. Now I am the sophomore, I have joined in many communities in my school, such as the basketball team, the roller skating team and so on. There I make many friends and we often do sports or watch matches together, which makes me very happy.
1-21. Describe a member in your family whose personality is different. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.
The family member having different trait from my father and me is absolutely my mother. She is introverted while my father and me are extroverted.
For example, both my father and I like to make friends. My father always joins in some clubs, such as the golf club, the wine club and so on, to know some new people. And he always shares with us about the new things. Also I am fond of making new friends. I have joined in many communities in my school. However, my mother likes to stay at home, reading magazines and books, doing chores, playing the piano and so on. She seldom goes out.
Although our personalities are a bit different, we get along very well.
1-20. Which of the following occupations do you consider the most important for the city, a policeman, a public transportation worker, or a building designer? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.
I think the police officers are the most important to a city.
Firstly, the police officers can ensure the safety of our society. Because of their hard work, our general public can be away from the thieves, criminals or the terrorists. We seldom have to worry that our treasure will be stolen or our lives will be threatened.
And also, the police officers help us maintain the orders of our society. For example, but for the traffic policemen’ s directing the traffic, we may not be able to get to where we want to go, especially during the peak hours. The traffic will be a complete mess.
So that’s why I think a police officer is the most important to our society.
E類---food:
1-17. What food do you think the university cafeteria should add to its menu in order to attract more people? Please include examples to support your explanation.
Personally speaking, I recommend the school to add the fruit salad in its cafeteria.
First of all, this dish is very delicious. There can be a variety of fruits in the dish, such as the bananas, apples, kiwifruits, grapes and so on. These fruits are sweet or a little bit sour. When they are mixed together, adding the salad dressing or the thousand-island sauce, this dish will be welcomed.
Second of all, this dish will well satisfy the needs of many students who are losing weight. This dish is composed of fruits and fruits are rich in vitamin and are low in fat. Many dieting students, especially girls, may choose to eat it.
So that’s why I recommend the fruit salad.
F類----Place and travel:
1-13. Some countries now take measures to attract a large amount of foreign tourists. Discuss the advantage and disadvantage of attracting a large amount of foreign tourists. Please include details and examples in your explanation.
I think the advantage of attracting so many people is that it is good for the increase of the economy in that country. Tourists will pay for the hotels, tickets of the tourism attraction, buying the souvenirs and so on; all these will increase the revenue of that country and more people will find jobs.
However, just like a coin has two sides. The disadvantage is that it may have some adverse effects on the tourism relics. Some tourists may not have good manners, such as carving their names on relics, throwing rubbish, spitting at will and so on. All these may damage the historic and cultural relics of that country.
That’s my ideas, thank you.
1-15.Where would you choose to live, close to where your workplace or school, close to your family, or close to public transits and why? Please use examples and reasons to support your choice.
I will definitely choose to live near my workplace or school.
Firstly, this may help me save time. For example, if I rent a house near my workplace, I may spend around 5 mins getting to my company. Then I will have more time to sleep or do my work. If I live in a far place, I may spend one or two hours commuting. It’s time wasting.
And also, this may help me save money. For example, if I live nearby, I may walk to workplace and spend no money. However, if I live far from my company, I may have to spend much money on the gas or taxi fare. It’s not economical.
So that’s why I prefer to live near my workplace or school.
1-24.The university is organizing a visit to one of the following workplaces—a science lab, a business office, or a TV studio. Which will you choose to visit and why? Please include reasons and details in your explanation.
In terms of these three places, I like the TV studio best.
The main reason is that I am interested in and my major is the TV programming.
If having the chance to visit the TV studio, I will get the more vivid impression of the TV making process, such as how to manipulate the machines, how to use the software to edit the program, how to set the lighting and so on; all these can make me better understand what I have learnt. Compared with the classroom teaching, this real condition is more attractive. While the other two choices, they are not directly correlated with my hobby and my major.
That’s why I like the TV studio visit best.
2-4. After graduation, some people like to stay in large cities to work, while some people prefer to return to their hometowns that may not be so prosperous. Which one do you prefer and why?
In terms of these two choices, I prefer to stay in large cities to work.
Firstly, there are more job chances in large cities. Taking Beijing, the capital of my country, for example, many international companies or famous enterprises set their headquarters there, that means I may find better jobs and have more chances to be admitted by them when I graduate from my school.
And also, the average salary tends to be higher than that in the small towns. For example, my major is language teaching, if I became a teacher in the future, my initial salary in Beijing is around 800 dollars; however, if in my hometown, the initial salary is only around 500 dollars.
So that’s why I prefer to stay in large cities to work.
2-10.When finding a place to live near the campus, some people prefer to share a house with several others. Others prefer to rent an apartment alone. Which do you prefer? Explain why. Please include details and examples in your explanation.
In terms of these two choices, I prefer to share a house with several people.
Firstly, this may relieve my economic burden. For example, if having a house with others, we may split the rent; the roommates and me may pay the rent together. If living alone, that means I may have to pay all the rent by myself.
And also, living with others is more interesting. Cause after a whole day’s study, we may share many things together, such as the delicious food we eat, the interesting people we meet, the difficulties we have in our daily life; all these make my life more enjoyable. However, if living alone, I may not have the chance to chat with others.
2-17.Some people prefer to live in spacious and new places far from their workplace and/or school whereas others prefer to live in small and old places near their workplace and/or school. Which do you prefer and why? Please use examples and reasons to support your answer.
Although it may be a bit small and old, I will definitely choose to live near my workplace or school.
Firstly, this may help me save time. For example, if I rent a house near my workplace, I may spend around 5 mins getting to my company. Then I will have more time to sleep or do my work. If I live in a far place, I may spend one or two hours commuting.
And also, this may help me save money. For example, if I live nearby, I may walk to workplace and spend no money. However, if I live far from my company, I may have to spend much money on the gas or taxi fare.
I think the time and money are more important than the large space.
2-21.Some people prefer to go traveling for their vacation. Others prefer to stay at home. Which do you prefer? Explain why. Please include details and examples in your explanation.
In terms of these two choices, I prefer to go travelling for vacation.
Firstly, I have more chances to taste different foods to relax myself. On vacation, if I go travelling, such as flying to Thailand, I may taste the authentic curry food, such as curry chicken, curry crab and so on. If I just stay at home, I may lose the chance to taste different food.
And also, this may broaden my horizons. On vacation, if I fly to America, I may admire the views of Statue of Liberty, the White house and so on. If I fly to France, I may appreciate the wonderful Eiffel Tower, the Louvre. However, if staying at home, my vacation may not be so interesting.
That’s my answer, thank you.
