Just taking a walk or going to movie with friends are just tooboring, and they are not special enough for us to remember when we look back theday we spend together. By travelling to other cities together, we got a chanceto talk to locals and get to know their culture, customs and way of living.

These food areactually easy to cook, you can just steam them, and eat the seafood with somelimes or lemon. Another suggestion for my friends is that always avoiding fastfood and junk food, like French fries, fried chickens, and hash brown, andstuff. With these two suggestion in mind, my friend can develop a very goodeating habit.

My most favorite place to study is my campus coffee shop. when I want toread some English materials, I would stay inside of the coffee shop. when I feellike to practice my speaking English, I can always have the choice to go outsidesit around the patios to read out loud. despite all these advantages, you canalways enjoy a cup of good-tasting coffee. also, if you feel like to eat somesnacks, you can get very delicious cookies. that will give you enough energy tostudy.

I would definitely choose to play a new sport. I find it very relaxing whenI play sports, it helps me to release my tension and depression that I got fromboth my life and study. Apart from that, playing sports is a very good way tokeep healthy and try to be in good shape. It helps you to build up some musclesand be athletic, it is also good for your cardio vascular system. Lastly, I geta 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.

7. What is the most important quality the teacher should have?

I would say the most important quality of a good teacher is knowledgeable.As known to all, the teacher's job is to impart knowledge and enlighten thestudents' creativity. A teacher is supposed to be an expert in his or her ownfield, they should also have some knowledge in other fields, cuz lots of subjectare related with other fields for example, geopolitical science deals withgeography and politics, behavioral economics is about psychology and economics.Most important of all, a knowledgeable teacher will be more popular than ateacher with very limited knowledge.

8. Describe a time you learned a new subject.

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

9. Describe why organizing time is challenging for university students andwhy it is important?

Well, I would say there are lots of reason why organizing time ischallenging for university students, to begin with, the tuition keeps raisingfrom year to year, in order to relief the financial burden, lots of studentstake two even three part jobs off-campus like, to be bar-tenders, dining serversor delivery drivers. Apart from that, the coursework is pretty tough. They havemid-terms, research paper, and presentation to work on during the wholesemester. They are bombarded with both their part-time job and workload fromschool, so the most difficult thing is to find time to relax.

10. Describe your favorite place in the city.

My most favorite place in the city is the beach area. I was born and raisedin a coastal city in China. My most favorite place is the beach area. I enjoybathing in the sun while appreciating the beautiful scenery alone the seashore,like the blossom and palm trees and stuff, and I can also try out the sea foodlike salmon, tuna and even some lobsters. Apart from that, the most excitingstuff I can do is sea and water activities like snorkeling, wakeboarding andeven jet skiing with my dad. Though one might get a little sun burnt, I thinkit's worth it anyway.

11. Every day people talk about environment protection. Name one thing thatwe can do to save our world.雅思托福哪个好考

I think we should reduce the use of private cars and encourage the use ofpublic transportation. This helps to ease pollution by reducing the green houseemission from cars . The decision makers should invest more money to improvepublic transportation, like add more bus routes, even build subways, and providetrams in the city, and make public transportation more accessible in general.With the reduce of air pollution, people get a chance to breath fresh air, andkeep healthy.

12. What time of the year do you like the most?

Personally, I would say I like summer best, cuz in summer I get a chance toplay outdoor activities, frankly I am a wimp about cold and freezing weather,and there is not much fun going out in winter, however, during summer, I do allkinds of activities like hiking, swimming, volleyball, running, and even playinggolf. On top of that, as a college student, I don't have any school duringsummer vacation, I can budget my own time, and do whatever I would like, andgetting away from all the assignments and exams makes me feel awesome.

13. A skill you have already learned and want to improve. Describe what youwould do to improve the skill.

I would say I want to improve my English language communication skills.Actually, I started learn English when I was 6 years old, and I have beenlearning English for like 15 years, but what is frustrating is that I stillcannot express things in the most natural way. I guess I need to learn the mostnatural way of expressing myself, to do that, I have to grasp every chance Imight have to interact with native speakers. On top of that, since I might havelots of chance to do that, I think I will start watch American TV shows andlearn some useful and daily use phrases and use them whenever I can.

Task 2

1. Do you prefer to live in a residence where there are strict rules (suchas rules against making loud noises at night), or do you prefer to live in aresidence without strict rules.

Personally, I would like to choose a residence with strict rules. Our homeis supposed to a place where we can relax and take a good a rest, thus get readyfor the next day. As a student, I am occupied with lots of assignments, likepapers, presentations, and even group project during the day. If I go back homeat night and still don't have a chance to take a good rest, I will be reallymad. To be able to live in a place with strict rules, we will not be distractedand disturbed by others, also, it restrains oneself from doing somethingdisruptive to others, and I think it is mutually beneficial to one another.

2. Some like do jobs with different tasks and others prefer to do the sametask every day. Which one do you prefer?

I would like to choose a job that requires me to do lots of tasks. First ofall, sitting in the office and repeating the same task again and again can bekilling. I will be really bored doing these repetitive tasks, and my workingefficiency will be very low. Secondly, doing lots of tasks can develop myself tobe a well-rounded person, now the job market is very competitive. If you aretrained to do different kind of tasks in a professional setting, you will bemore popular in the job market, thus have a better shot in getting a higher-paidjob.

3. Some people believe that it is better for children to grow up in bigcities. 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. Thefacilities and the atmosphere will be very beneficial to kids to grow up in acity. For example, kids are likely to get better education, medical treatment,and even social welfare. However, kids that live in the country are not thatlucky. Apart from that, a big city is multi cultural and full of dynamics, thereare people from all over the country and even from around the globe. Getting achance to experience different languages, customs and cultures will benefit thekids a lot when they grow up and it will make them a better and well-roundedperson.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Students shouldhave some working experience such as doing a part-time job before going tocollege.

I would say students should definitely have some working experience liketaking a part time job before going to university. I have the following reasonsfor support. To begin with, you can make some money out of any part time job,and by saving up lots of money, you probably can pay some part of your expensivecollege tuition, and buy things you are interested in. On top of that, doing apart-time job helps to make someone a responsible person, by working withco-workers, you can develop social skills and organizational skills, which arefairly important for one's future career, and that might give you a better shotto land a sweet job after graduation in college.

5. Would you like to make friend with different interest or the one withsame interest? And why?

I would like make friends with different interests. Even though it might beeasy for two people with the same interest to be friends, as the saying goesbirds of the same feather flock together. By making friends with people ofinterest interests, we can get a chance to know more, like, we can know more indifferent fields, if your friend happens to be a car fan, you will broaden yourknowledge about different types of cars. Also, your friend can learn somethingthat is not very familiar to him, it is always a good thing to learn from othersand have something to offer at the same time.

6. When you have problems, you will ask advisor for help or search it？through internet or library?

I would say I definitely search it on the internet or in the library. Cuz,as a college student, we are pretty busy with all kinds of assignments likepapers, presentations and even group projects, it is not quite possible for usto find a time when both we and our advisors are available. Additionally, withthe help of internet, all we have to do is to type in the key words of theproblem we are trying to solve, and then we have the answer show up on thescreen, plus, we can do that wherever and whenever we want. It is not very timeconsuming and actually it works fine, most of time we can find the answer bydoing that.

7. Here are two jobs with equal amount of time and pay. One you need towork with other employees in a group and the other requires you to workindividually. Which do you prefer?

Personally, I would like to work in a group with other colleagues, I am anextrovert and outgoing person, and I think it is more fun when there are peoplearound me. Plus, I can also learned the importance of cooperation andresponsibility when I am with a team, to achieve something that is assigned tous, me and my teammate struggle together for a common goal, offer each othermotivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myselfduring the process, and I think this is very meaningful.

8. Agree or disagree: Power and money is the definition of success for aperson.

Personally, I don't agree that power and money is the definition of successfor a person. Admittedly, people have different perspectives when it comes tothe definition of success. My version is that live life to the fullest, andpursue the things that you are really interested in and passionate about, and bythat, I mean one cannot be judged in monetary terms or even power. A teacher,janitor, waiter or waitress in a restaurant can be regarded successful if theydon't complain what they do, and instead love their job. Thus, I think anyperson with love, and has something to offer to society, and makes people happyis successful.

9. Do you agree or disagree that having a relaxed or unhurried life mostimportant for a person.

Well, I certainly don't agree that having a relaxed or unhurried life mostimportant for a person. Life is short and should not be wasted in doing thingsthat are not meaningful, like just relaxing and doing meaningless stuff. It isactually very important for a person to keep a relatively tight schedule, andthat makes a person productive. Take college students as an example, they arepretty busy with all kinds of assignments like papers, presentations and evengroup projects. If they just wander around and do nothing during college, theymight not be able to graduate. Plus, professionals should not just relax andlife a unhurried life, cuz they have to close business deal and be always on therun.

10. Advertisements have too much influence on what people buy.

Personally, I agree that advertisements have too much influence on whatpeople buy. Though economists might think that human are rational being and makechoices based on cost and benefit, psychologists might not agree with that, andI think consumers are very much influenced by commercials on what they buy.Frankly, lots of commercials are too much in bragging about their products andcannot even deliver what they promise, like the so-called ultimate vacuumcleaner cannot even remove a slight stain on the carpet, even though in theadvertisement, the company portrays their vacuum as the almighty machine, andthe Ad is so vivid and persuasive and people believe it, only later find that itis not what it says in the commercial.

11. Some people believe that the university students should focus on theirschool work. Others believe that the university students should also attend clubactivities on campus.

Personally, I would say that university students should also attend clubactivities on campus, and I have the following reasons for support. To beginwith, university is not all about schoolwork or GPA, just focusing on your studyand no social activities makes a person boring, and also you will get bored withonly study. On top of that, as the saying goes, it is not about what you know,it is about who you know. Joining clubs provides you a chance to know differentkind of people, and by interacting with them you can possibly broaden yourhorizon, and expand your vision, and even build some connection for yourfuture.
