　　Task 1

　　1. Describe a time when you learned a new subject.

　　When I was in junior high, I had to learn English for the first time, and it was really hard for me to pick up at first. The words, grammar and sentence patterns are just so different from Chinese. But with the help of my English teacher, I gradually learnt some basic words and usul phrases, and I started practicing English with foreigner whenever I got a chance, the more I acquire, the more I am willing to learn and I put more fort and I am determined to be really good in English. Now, after so many years, I am still a big fan of the English language, and I cannot live a single day without it.

　　2. Which of the following volunteer work would you choose and why?

　　1. Working as a home tutor 2. Helping adults 3. Helping old people

　　If I were given a chance to do some volunteer, I would help the seniors. Now there are more and more retirees in my country, and the nursing homes and senior center are not doing a very good job to help the seniors. There are quite a few things that I can do to help the seniors, I can read them newspapers, to help them get access to what is happening around the world. I also could assist them to tidy up their rooms so they might have a very good mood everyday. Apart from that, I can just talk with them, seniors get lonely easily, and by interacting with them, they will feel a sense of belong to the community and that there are someone out there who care about them. With all the above reasons and more, I would volunteer to help seniors.

　　3. Describe a job you admired but you will NOT choose it yourself.

　　I think the job that admire is the government official, I would say it is the most challenging profession, they are responsible to solve complex social problems like, education, Medicare, and the economy of the region or country. These issues are just tricky and hard to deal with. Another reason that I admire them is that they have to sacrifice their private life to public scrutiny and they have no privacy, like living in a golden fish in a bowl. This is a very noble profession, however I admire the profession, I would not dare to become the government official.

　　4. Talk about an organization or a club that you would like to join. Explain why you would like to join this organization? Please include reasons and details in your response.

　　I would like to join in the swimming club, cuz if I joined the club, I would have a chance to compete with my teammates to represent my university. That would be a great honor to get to do that. In some competitions, I have to work my teammates to win the game, and it gives me a strong sense of belonging and I feel I am needed by the team, my teammate and I would cheer up each other and get inspirations, encouragements from my fellow teammate. On top that, I am a big swimming fan, when I am swimming in the pool, I feel so relaxed and it is a very good way to keep fit.

　　5. Which of the following art class would you be more interested in taking? Wood sculpture, painting and photography

　　I would say I like to take the photography class, I have a very genuine interest in photographing, and I am very passionate about expressing myself through imageries. I take pictures to record my own life, and it is a very good way to rlect the past, also I like to help others to remember their precious moments by photos, like their weddings, graduation ceremonies and some other special events. I just feel that when I am not using my camera, there is a void in my life. But I still need to get better in photographing, so I would like to take this class.

　　6. Describe an important day in your life.

　　The most important day in my life was my college graduation day. I graduated from a prestigious university in the Unites States, but it was challenging for me. Four years bore I graduated from college, the first time I set foot on the land of America, I felt so isolated and had tremendous language barriers. However, during my four years in college, I not only improved my English language proficiency, but also kept a high GPA and was on the dean's list every year. But, I know that this day does not come easy, it symbolizes the time and fort I put to get my diploma.

　　7. I you were asked to do some community service. Which of the three would like to choose and why?

　　1. help children with their homework 2. teach adults using computer 3. clean city park

　　If I were to do some community service, I would choose to teach adults using computer. Lots of adults, especially people around my parents' age, they got used to do things in old fashioned ways, however, today people use computer for everything, like watching news, watching movies, listening to music, and even doing shopping on-line. Every one should have the right to use computers, not just the young generation. 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. I think it is really meaningful to teach adults to use computers.

　　8. Describe a type of music that you would like not to listen to.

　　Well, this is a very interesting question and I have never thought about it. Generally, I like all kinds of music that is catchy and rhythmic. Since I am a person who likes peace and inner solitude, so I guess I do not like to listen to music that is very harsh and noisy, like rock and roll, and I think heavy metal is the worst. The only reason I listen to music is to get some relaxation and enjoy my free time, however whenever I listen to heavy metal, I feel I am so disturbed and very uncomfortable.

　　9. Describe a way of life in your country has been changed and why it is benicial.

　　I would say the big change in my country is the construction of the express train or bullet train to put it in another way. To begin with, it is now super convenient for people to travel somewhere, like in the past, it took me 5 hours to go to Beijing by regular train. Now it only takes me an hour and a half and actually it is no so expensive. Secondly, speaking on a larger perspective, the construction of the express train helps to boast the economy of the country. For instance, lots of jobs are created, cuz new rail ways need to be built, so more worker are needed.

　　10. Describe a family member who has a different personality from you and explain why?

　　I would my dad has a totally different personality from me. I am very passionate and optimistic person, and I like constantly taking challenges in my life and do something that I have never experienced bore, like studying abroad. However, my dad is quite a conservative person, he would never do something that will make him stand out, and frankly, he is kind of pessimistic and sometimes cynical about the world, specifically, he would complain about negative things in life instead of thinking on the bright side.

　　11. What do you think is the most important for a new working environment?

　　When in a new working environment I believe it is important to be open-minded, observant, personable and flexible. As a new employee or co-worker everything and everyone is new to you and it may be overwhelming at first. There will be many things to learn and people to meet, so you should keep an open mind. Next, as a newcomer, you should be observant of those training you and pay attention to the daily routines, you should also be personable and approachable as you interact with different levels of the organization.

　　12. Your friend is dropping out of college, do you think it is a good thing?

　　Personally, I think it is at least not a bad thing to do. As we can tell, lots of college students and even graduate students find it hard to land satisfying job upon graduation. I think it makes more sense to me if my friend drops college. He should not wander around after dropping out, instead he should find a part time job that he likes, so he will be exposed to the real world, and get firsthand experience working in a particular area.

　　Task 2

　　1. 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.

　　2. Some people prer to read or watch news every day, others prer to read or watch new regularly. Which do you prer and why?

　　I would say I prer to read or watch news everyday, and I have a few reasons for support. Firstly, having access to news is very easy for me, just using my finger to touch the screen of my smart, I am able to know what is happening around the world, it does not cost me a lot time, I can do it when waiting for the bus, or even during my lunch break. Secondly, I think it is really essential for me to know what is happening around the globe, and it matters a lot in this modern world to get access to breaking news, sometimes, it does not make any sense to know the news the next day, the reason why it is called news is that it is momentary.

　　3. When reading a book, some people would like to finish it all at once, others would like to read only a part of the book and then go back to read it, Which do you prer and why?

　　I would like to finish a book all at once if I have enough time. A book that is fun to read can attract readers and it is very hard for them to put it down for even one minute, especially a novel with intriguing storyline, I feel so connected to the characters in it that I cannot help but to finish all at once. Additionally, if you do not finish the book all at once, you might forget what he or she has already covered in the book, and find it difficult to read the following parts, so we have to go back for the important information, otherwise we cannot understand. For the above reasons and more, I find it better to finish the book all at once.

　　4. Do you think government should spend money on saving the endangered animals or the money has to come from private sources?

　　I would say it is dinitely the government's responsibility to save the endangered species, and I have two reasons for support. Firstly, the government has all the resources need to preserve the wide animals, like research facilities, natural conservation areas, and even different science foundations. Secondly, government is supposed to take care the country, a big part of that responsibility is to save the endangered species from going extinct. It is not even possible for private firms or individuals to take such a huge responsibility.

　　5. If you have time, would choose to learn to play a new musical instrument or learn to play a new sport?

　　I would dinitely choose to play a new sport. I find it very relaxing when I play sports, it helps me to release my tension and depression that I got from both my life and study. Apart from that, playing sports is a very good way to keep healthy and try to be in good shape. It helps you to build up some muscles and be athletic, it is also good for your cardio vascular system. Lastly, I get a chance to meet new friends and broaden my social network when playing a sport, getting to know different people is a very thrilling experience for me.

　　6. Some people like to stay at home and reading books or studying, while others like to socialize and relax with friends. Which do you prer?

　　I would say I dinitely will hang out with my friends, as an extremely outgoing individual, I find it more interesting when spending time with friends like doing karaoke, eating out in a fine restaurant, and even playing some sports. By interacting with my friends, I get quite a few benits, like I can broaden my horizon and have unique perspective on things. Also, when we do stuff together, I feel like I can connect more with them emotionally, and that helps to sustain our friendship forever, and I think it is safe to say that at least human beings are social animals, we need to socialize with people to be happy and fulfilling.

　　7. Some students prer to study for only one long time during a week. Others students prer to study for several short times during a week. Which way do you prer and why?

　　I prer to study for several short times instead of studying for a long time during a week and have the following reason for support. You know, as a college student I am very busy with all kinds of studies, we have different kinds of assignments, like presentations, group projects, papers to write and exams. Studying for several short time makes it possible for us to take a rest once in a while, however, studying for a long time during a week without any break will kill me and of course, we will be so worn out and not as productive as studying for several short time.

　　8. Some people like to participate in activities alone, others like to do that with a team or group. Which way do you prer and why?

　　Personally, I would like to participate in activities in a group, I am an extrovert and outgoing person, and I think it is more fun when there are people around me. Plus, I can also learned the importance of cooperation and responsibility when I am with a team, for example in a sport competition, me and my teammate struggle together for a common goal, offer each other motivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myself during the game, and I think this is very meaningful.

　　9. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Watching TV is not a way to use time.

　　I think it really depends, 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. It is very good to watch these shows, however, if someone is indulged in watching meaningless TV programs like different kind of reality shows and even some of the TV sit-coms, it might cast a huge negative impact on their study and work. To sum up, it you are capable of striking a balance between watching good TV shows and meaningless one, watching TV is very good way to use time.

　　10. Do you prer to live in a place where you have access to transportations and shops or somewhere distant but quiet areas.

　　Living in a place where there is no noise is absolutely my choice. A place like the suburb or country far away from the noise and pollution is very favorable to me, even though it might not be convenient to live in. I hate the hustle and bustle of the city. Especially, I spend almost all my life living in the city to suffer the noise and be choked by the polluted air, I want to get away from the city. I like the solitude, clear skies, and peacul evenings in the suburbs or country and it is pretty romantic. Living in suburbs or country makes it possible for me to be close to mother nature.

　　11. Some people like participate an activity in a team, other like to do that alone. Which way do you prer and why?

　　Personally, I would like to participate in activities in a group, I am an extrovert and outgoing person, and I think it is more fun when there are people around me. Plus, I can also learned the importance of cooperation and responsibility when I am with a team, for example in a sport competition, me and my teammate struggle together for a common goal, offer each other motivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myself during the game, and I think this is very meaningful.
