第一题
1. If you were asked to do some community activities, which one of the following three volunteer work would like to do most?
1 work with children 2 plan campus garden 3 xxxx
If I were asked to do some volunteer work, I would dinitely choose to work with children. I think children are always fun to be around, when I am spending my time with children I feel I am very happy and fulfilling. I can read them books, tell them stories about great people, and stuff like that. Also, to have some perspective on things from children's angle can be quite interesting. Adults might make things complicated while children are very naive and innocent, and tend to simplify things, sometimes we can even learn from them.
2. What kind of suggestions do you have to someone who is going to visit your city.
Since I am from a coastal city in China. I would say the best time to visit is during the summer, especially June, when it is not too hot. You can bath in the sun while appreciating the beautiful scenery alone the seashore, like the blossom and palm trees and stuff. One should dinitely try out the sea food like salmon, tuna and even some lobsters. Apart from that, the last thing you should miss out when visiting this nice and beautiful city is sea and water activities like snorkeling, wakeboarding and even jet skiing. You might get a little sun burnt but still worth it.
3. Which period do you think is the toughest during one's life? childhood, adolescent, or adulthood?
I would say the toughest period during one's life is adulthood. Not like the childhood, we are pursuing our degrees in universities or already doing a job to make a living. In school, we are constantly under lots of pressure, the assignments like problem sets, presentations, research papers are killing us. After graduation, we have to fulfill all kinds of responsibilities as a professional. On the other hand, being a child or an adolescent is much easier, they just have fun and do not have to worry about anything.
4. Describe a suggestion you have for environment protection in your school.
I would say the university should invest some money to provide garbage bins that allows the students and faculty members to categorize their trash. As known to all, some the trash are recyclable like soda cans, paper and glass. One of the major reasons that there is rampant littering in my campus is that there are not enough trash cans in the campus. By providing more trash cans, and with proper education, hopully we can make the community members more environment conscious and make our campus a better place.
5. Do you think college students should be allowed to keep pets in their dorm?
I would no pets should be allowed in campus dorms, cuz dorm is supposed to be a quiet place, where students can get some rest from whole day's study, and pets are generally very messy and noisy, and some people are allergic to them. Anyway, going to college costs a lot and one should prioritize their role as a student and maintain a high GPA, everything else comes after that, I would suggest students should leave the animals home, and I think it is kind of fair to pets, cuz college are busy, one does not have enough time to be with the pets.
6. If you were doing some volunteer work in a hospital, which one of the following three would like to do? 1 chatting with patients 2 reading to patients 3 take care of their families
Personally, I would like to read to a patient if I got a chance to do some volunteer work in a hospital. First of all, I think lots of patient are quite reserved and not willing to talk to others, like those who suffered emotionally and got traumatized within find it hard to talk to other, however, they do not reject you when you read books to them. On top of that, there are lots of good books that can be really helpful to them, like spiritual books and self improvement books that will help them to grow spiritually, also, the one who reads the book will be benited from it.
7. Some schools require students to take part in community service activities after school. Which of the following do you think is the best activity for students? 1. Planting flowers in the community 2.doing clean-ups in the garden 3. recycling waste.
If I got a chance to do some community service, I would like to choose to clean the garden. Well, in my city, people do not really pay attention to environment protection. There are rampant littering, and spitting everywhere. The garden is supposed to be place where citizens can have fun and get some relaxation. Unfortunately, it is not very neat and clean. I would like to make it a better place for community members to enjoy themselves, and by consciously participating this kind of activity, hopully, I can influence my friends and strangers around me so that they will be aware that environment protection is really urgent.
8. Which of the following do you think is the most important for maintaining good health? Doing exercises, eating healthy food, or going to bed early?
I would say doing exercises is most important for maintaining good health. Especially aerobics like swimming, jogging, and even do some running on a treadmill, it helps your cardiovascular system. When you sweat a lot, it helps your system to get rid of the poisonous stuff within your body. Secondly, by doing exercise, you can burn lots of fat in your body, and you do not have to say to delicious food and snacks, like ice cream, hamburgers and stuff like that.
9. Some people think that employees should be required to wear formal suits by their bosses. Other people think that employees should be required to wear casual clothes by their bosses. What is your opinion and why?
I think professionals should wear formal suits instead of casual outfits. Firstly, wearing suits and ties can showcase their professionalism. I have never seen professionals like lawyers, salesmen, or businessmen dress in casual outfits when they are working in a professional environment. Secondly, requirement on dressing code is a kind of a discipline that all the employees should observe in workplaces, when they are dressed up, they will feel a sense of responsibility and thus spare no fort to accomplish bigger goals, based on these reasons, I think employees should dinitely be required to wear suits in a working environment.
10. Describe a gift that you would like to give to your friend.
I would say the gift I would like to give to my friend is an iphone 6 plus. I know it is kind of expensive, but I think it's worth the value. Firstly, it embodies the most cutting edge and state of the art technology, like touch screen, voice control and video camera, stuff like that. With this smart phone, my friend can talk to his friends and family members wherever and whenever he wants. Apart from that, he can download movies to watch on the high fidelity screen, just to kill some time. Last but not the least, with wifi access, he gets to know what is happening around the globe by surfing on the internet.
11. Your university is planning to allow students to watch TV in their dorms. What is your opinion and why?
I think this is such a brilliant idea, TV programs like documentaries can be very informative, and they target different kinds of audience. They cover lots of topics like sports, animal world, history, and even religions. You can really learn a lot about all kinds of stuff. By watching TV is dorm, students can learn a lot. What’s more, students are very sometimes depressed about their school, and they need some relaxation, and I think entrainment programs on TV serve as a great way for students to relax, like reality shows, and poker game shows.
12. Which technology do you think has made the greatest impact on people's lives in your country. Airplane, computer, or television.
I would say that computer has the greatest impact on people's lives. Today people use computer for everything, like watching news, watching movies, listening to music, and even doing shopping on-line, computer provides lots of entertainment, it makes our life more fulfilling. Apart from that, computer is a must in a working environment, people use computer to do all kinds of work in a company, like sending emails, filing paper works, and even using excel to create tables and charts, the use of computer in workplace great improved our productivity.
13. University students often feel home sick when they are away from home. What do you often do to deal with home sickness?
There are lots of activities you can do to help you deal with homesickness. Personally, I think making new friend whenever I am away from home is a very fective way to ease my homesickness. By interacting with new friends, I feel like it is a very easy for me to fit in the local culture, also, I can enrich my own experience and broaden my horizon by exchanging different ideas with new friends. On top of that, I would say chatting with my family online is also very helpful, not only can you hear their voice, you can also see their face. Basically, it's like you are talking to them face to face. You can update them what's going on with your own life, like the people you meet, the places you have been, so on and so forth.
14. What quality do you think is the most important for a university student? Self-motivation, hard-working, or intelligence?
I would say that the most decisive factor for a university student to survive in college is hard-working, and I have the following reasons for support. Firstly, as university students are constantly overwhelmed by different kinds of assignments like, paper, presentation, group project, and stuff like that, without hard work, it is impossible to keep a satisfactory GPA to graduate. Plus, some students might have a part time job to make some extra money, then the students have to work even harder to keep up with their study. Secondly, when university students apply for an internship or job, the most cherished quality that attracts the potential employer is hard-working. Thus, I think college students should work hard to be successful.
第二题:
1. If you were interested in a book, would you buy it or borrow it from the library.
If I were interested in a book , I would dinitely buy it in a bookstore. As a bookworm, I would like to keep the books that I am interested, and it is kind of my hobby to hoard books, especially the limited edition books. On top of that, I might want to read it for a few times, it is very handy if I own it, every time I want to read it, I can just pull it out from my bookshelf. Borrowing the book from the library is not very convenient for me, I hate to have to remember the due day and return it in time.
2. Some people like to do exam review in the morning, while other would like to do that in the evening. Which one do you prer and why?
I would say I like to review exams in the evening. One of the reasons is that, I find it more quiet in the evening and I can concentrate on my reviewing, however if I did some review during the day, I would easily get distracted, actually, it is kind of noisy during the day, finding a peacul spot to study is pretty difficult. Also, I feel like I am more energetic during night time, and I am kind of sluggish during the day, so doing some review during the night can be really productive for me.
3. Some would like a job that requires frequent communication with others, others prer to get job that does not require any communication. Which one do you prer?
Personally, I am an extremely extrovert and easygoing person and will be really bored if I get a job without any communication with others. I really cannot imagine a position that is repetitive and boring; I do not think I can be productive and ficient at all. Apart from that, there are numerous benits when interacting with other, like you can have new perspective on things, and human beings are at least social being. The last but the not the least, lots of job require communication and cooperation with other department in order to make a profit and help others.
4. Some students prer to study in the library. Others prer to study at home or in dorms. Which way do you prer and why?
I would say I'd like to study in the library. The most obvious reason is that it is very quiet in the library, and I can fully focus on your work and nothing can distract me. There are just too much distraction to study at home, I can lay on my bed and play computer games when I feel bored, it is just not that productive compared to studying in the library. Plus, studying in the library, I feel like people around me are also studying, and that is a motivation for me to concentrate on my own work. For these reasons, I would say I like to study in the library.
5. Some people think that employees should be required to wear formal suits by their bosses. Other people think that employees should be required to wear casual clothes by their bosses. What is your opinion and why?
I think professionals should wear formal suits instead of casual outfits. Firstly, wearing suits and ties can showcase their professionalism. I have never seen professionals like lawyers, salesmen, or businessmen dress in casual outfits when they are working in a professional environment. Secondly, requirement on dressing code is a kind of a discipline that all the employees should observe in workplaces, when they are dressed up, they will feel a sense of responsibility and thus spare no fort to accomplish bigger goals, based on these reasons, I think employees should dinitely be required to wear suits in a working environment.
6. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? University students need to study harder in school in order to get a job upon graduation.
Personally, I disagree that university students should study harder in order to get a job upon graduation. The real reason that a fresh graduate cannot get a job is that they lack soft skills, like communication skills, leadership and even organization skills. Corporations place great importance on these skills, and they are decisive to get a job in the future. Studying hard and getting a high GPA has nothing to do with getting a job in the future. Instead, they should socialize with different people and enlarge their social network, after they get enough valuable connections, they will have no problem finding a job.
7. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Young people know the world better than their parents when their parents were their age.
I do agree that young people know the world better than their parents when their parents were their age. I think modern technology plays a very decisive role in this, a few decades ago, there was no internet, and computers were not available in every household, even telephones were not so popular. These sophisticated technologies help a lot to spread information and knowledge in different areas, young people today are lucky enough to employ these technologies to learn about the world, explosive news can spread faster than ever bore, all it takes is just a touch on your smart phone and the world is in front of you, unfortunately, our parents did not have the privilege to have this when they were young.
8. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Teachers should made their lessons fun.
Personally, I totally agree with this, and teachers should always make their lessons more fun. It is really hard for someone especially a kid or a teenager to learn something that he or she might not be interested in, as the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. If the class is very interesting, it will be more intuitive and keep students’ attention. Students can learn more in this kind of atmosphere and will not get bored. On top of that, a good teacher who makes their lessons more fun has a chance to stir students’ creativity, imagination and their enthusiasm in a specific area. All these combined, I would say teachers should make their lesson more fun.
9. Some people believe that it is better for children to grow up in big cities. Others believe that it is better for children to grow up in rural areas. What is your opinion and why?
I would say it is better for children to grow up in big cities. The facilities and the atmosphere will be very benicial to kids to grow up in a city. For example, kids are likely to get better education, medical treatment, and even social welfare. However, kids that live in the country are not that lucky. Apart from that, a big city is multi cultural and full of dynamics, there are people from all over the country and even from around the globe. Getting a chance to experience different languages, customs and cultures will benit the kids a lot when they grow up and it will make them a better and well-rounded person.
10. Some people prer to buy innovative high-tech products like cell phones and computers when they first came out, others would buy them after the price has been decreased. Which do you prer and why?
I would say I like to buy innovative high-tech products after the price goes down, and I have a few reasons for support. First and foremost, products with cutting edge and state of the art technology are usually very expensive when they first come out, and as a college student I do not have lost money to waste on that, cuz I have to pay college tuition, textbooks and stuff like that. Additionally, we consume technological products for its convenience and they will be as valuable and convenient as they firstly show up in the market, so it is more advisable to buy that after a while.
11. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teenagers under 16 years old should be allowed to drive cars.
I totally disagree that anyone under 16 years old should be allowed to drive cars. The most obvious reason is that kids are not as capable as adults when it comes to drive cars. Kids get easily distracted when driving, and they will not handle the steering wheel as well as an adult. On top of that, the kids might not understand some of the traffic regulations and they are not aware of lots of hazardous situations. In an nutshell, kids under 16 years ago should not be allowed to drive cars, not driving cars is good to them and also to other drives on the road.
12. Some people think students should study in the classroom while others believe they should visit the museum or the zoo. Which do you prer and why?
Personally, I would choose to visit the museum or the zoo in order to learn more. I am the kind of person who can easily get bored inside of the classroom, where the teacher just lectures, and I cannot keep my attention for a long time and get distracted after a short time, and most of the time the lecture are very theoretical and technical, and I will get lost. However, through visiting the museum and zoo, I get a chance to know the enormous resourculness of our ancestors and I will cherish our own cultural heritage. Plus, when visiting the zoo I can
13. Some people like to collect old things such as newspapers. Others throw things away after they have used them. Which do you prer and why?
I am the kind of person who likes to keep old things especially like newspapers, book I read in the past and . even the football I used to kick around. These things help me to document important milestones and memories. Particularly about the newspapers, newspapers record lots of major event in sports, politics and even the entertainment. I am a big basketball fan, and I follow the NBA very closely, I clip out the stories covering NBA finals every year and I collect them. I keep these precious documents not only for myself but also for the next generation to come. For these reasons and more, I find it very interesting to hold on to things from the past.
14. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: artists and musicians are important to our society.
I would say artist and musicians are important to our society. Musicians can bring comfort and hope to people, and it is important to people expressing their happiness, sorrow and even anger. As for art, it is a helpful tool to facilitate change, and even a device for comfort and security that helps to bind society, like the most prestigious musician Chopin created great music so his fellow countrymen could unite and dend their country against Russian invasion. Without it, we would have no hope, no aspirations, no joy, just nothing meaning and enlightening, and one can never underestimate the value of art and music, actually, If you try any form of art, you will get a break from the stress of life, work and study!
