Task 1

1. Describe something that once annoyed you. Explain why it annoyed you andyour reaction toward it.

Well, talking about something that once annoyed me. I remember, it was lastyear that our university was renovating the trail on campus. Frankly, it was anice thing to do since there used to be lots of mud when it rained and it waspretty messy. However, the noise produced by the construction was reallyannoying and lots of students including me found it hard to concentrate on ourstudy since the trail was right behind the library. I decided to sign apetition, so I called up lots of classmates and friends, most of whom agreedwith me. Afterward, we showed the petition to the university life committee,eventually, they discontinued the construction during school hours.

2. Describe a decision you made. How you made that decision?

I am going to share with you my decision making process on whether to go tostudy in the US or not. I dwelled upon both the advantages and disadvantages tostudy for graduate program in the USA. for the advantages I will broaden myhorizon, meet amazing people and learn very advanced professional knowledge. thedisadvantage will be the cultural shock once I set foot on the land of America.But I will get over that for sure. After careful consideration of bothadvantages and disadvantages, I think the advantages greatly outweigh thedisadvantages. so I decide to study in the us.

3. Imagine the situation where you can't use computer or have no access tointernet for a month. How will your life be different? Use details and examplesto explain.

Well, personally, I would say it will not be difficult for me to do that.Cuz, honestly, I am not a fun of watching TV, since most of the time, I ampretty busy with my school assignment, like presentations, group projects andresearch papers, and stuff. Additionally, I am not someone who spends lots oftime surfing the internet, and chatting with friends on social networks, on thecontrary, I am an outdoor person. For example, I like climbing mountains,jogging in the park and doing all kinds of sports outdoors. Therefore, my lifewill be pretty much the same without internet.

4. Please choose one of the following transportations that you consider tobe most enjoyable.

Bicycle, automobile, train

Personally, I would prefer to choose to take the train. To begin with,generally, trains are powered by electricity and they are less likely to produceany pollution. However, too much private vehicles discharge lots of pollutantsinto the air and it is pretty expensive to own a private vehicle since one needsto spend lots of money on the insurance, registration of the license and themaintenance. Taking the train can be really appeasing, you can enjoy thebeautiful view outside of the window. All you have to do is just to sit back andrelax while appreciating the beautiful scenery.

5. Your school is going to help the community. Which of the following wouldyou prefer? 1) clean litters and trash 2)plant trees and flowers 3)teachchildren knowledge about the environment.

Personally, I would like to teach children knowledge about environment. Tobegin with, it helps to cultivate kids' environment awareness at an early age,so when they grow up, they will definitely do something to protect theenvironment, and preserve natural resource, like they will turn off the faucetafter using the water and not waste any water, categorize the trash, not litteraround. Plus, it is the younger generations' responsibility to protect theenvironment, and make the world a better place for people to live in.Additionally, kids are very interesting to be around, and it is great fun tointeract with them, since they are very naive and adorable, therefore one canforget about their pressure in life and study.

6. Describe one way to solve air pollution.

Personally, to solve air pollution problem we need to analyze the cause ofsuch a problem, actually, vehicle emission and poisonous gas discharged byfactories are major factors causing the air pollution. I would say one possiblesolution is that the government should put forward some policies to punish factories whodischarge lots of waste into the air, for example, they can impose a heavy taxon these factories. Plus, they can subsidize the environment conscious companiesthat use renewable energies like natural gas, wind power and nuclear power.

a. Describe an occasion in your country where people give gifts to eachother and what is the most common gifts.

Well, people give gifts to one another on lots of occasions, like gettingmarried, having a new baby, or even on a graduation day. But I would like totalk about Chinese lunar new year, generally, seniors in the family, likegrandparents, aunts and uncles give red envelopes to the younger generation. Itis basically some pocket money, and it has great significance. It symbolizesthat the kids are loved and cared by the senior, and they will be blessed forthe rest of the year.

7. Science club, hiking club, which one are you interested in?

Personally, I would like to choose to join the science lab. To begin with,I bet there will be field trip to research centers and science labs. By going tothe lab, I got a chance to use the lab equipment and apply theory in practice.It is very helpful for me to understand some theories since most of the time thethings we learn in classrooms are very theoretical, and hard to understand.Also, by doing activities in the lab, I can be more creative and imaginative.Possibly, We can come up with lots of idea with regard of the theories, and makecontribution to the technological advancement, and then it might be applied inthe real world, thus benefits the entire human race.

8. Which of the following professions should be paid a higher salary:

nurse, police officer or teacher. Choose one and explain why.

I would say police is the most important job to a city, though they do notreally get paid that much, what they do is very essential to the community andthey should be paid a higher salary for what they do. They prevent lawbreakingbehaviors, like robbery, burglary, and even speeding, they hunt down criminalsand preserve the safety of the community. Plus, you can call police officers forhelp, like when you neighbor is very noisy and you feel like you are disturbed,they also help to address common complaints like that. That is basically why Ithink police officer should be paid more among these three professions.

9. A friend of yours always gets up late in the morning and misses hismorning classes. The professor has told him that this behavior will affect hisgrade. What advice would you give him and why?

Personally, I would suggest him sleep early, actually he should go to bedbefore 10 o'clock, and then he can take a good rest, hence the next day he cango to the class refreshed. Additionally, I would say he should talk to theprofessor and ask him or her if it is possible for him to make up the absence inanother way, like doing an extra credit assignment and I bet if he is sincereenough, the professor will understand his tough situation and might say yes tohim, so eventually he can keep a higher GPA.

10. Your friend has a lot of work to do. Suggest a hobby to him to help himspend his weekend more delightful.

Personally, there are lots of hobbies he can develop so that he can releasethe nerve strains he has about his work and I think playing basketball can bethe most helpful. To begin with, it is pretty intense to play basketball, and heneeds to run around on the court, therefore he burns lots of fat within his bodyand that helps him stay healthy and keep fit, and it benefits his cardiovascularsystem. Additionally, Playing basketball can help him make lots of friends, andit is also a great way to connect with old friend, since it requires the spiritof teammate work.

11. Describe a person whom you would like to spend time with. Explain whyyou would like to spend time with this person.

Well, I would like to spend time with my friend Iddie, I met him when I wason an exchange program to study in America. I would not say he is a smart orintelligent person, but the fortitude and willpower he has to achieve somethinghe really aspires are so inspiring. He grew up in Ghana, a underdevelopedcountry in Africa. Though he had lots of setbacks in his life, he nevercomplained about anything, and he just hunkered down and made an effort to makehis life better. His passion and attitude for life are so contagious that Ialways look up to him.

12. What personal quality do you admire the most? Creativity, courage orintelligence?

Personally, I would say my most admirable quality is creativity. As themost famous physicist Einstein once said, imagination is more important thanknowledge. Indeed, creativity and imagination can make lots of things happen.For example, it is creativity that helped Steve Jobs to design the best and mostconvenient desktop, not courage and intelligence. Actually, lots of professionsrequire a person to be creative, like artist, designers and even salesmen. Forinstance, A artist can use his or her creativity to draw vivid art work eventhough the stuff in their art work might not even exist.

13. Talk about a memorable experience you had in a restaurant or cafe.Explain what happened and why it was memorable. Give specific details in yourresponse.

I would say my most memorable experience in a restaurant is my 18thbirthday party, my best friend Alex helped me to organize the party. I can stillrecall that it was a Mexican restaurant called Siesta, the food there was reallygreat, like the taco, tortilla chips with some chili sauce and guacamole, and itwas so fresh. Additionally, the places was decorated like a tropic jungle withlots of exotic plantations, I felt like I was in a tropic forest when I wasdinning there. Most importantly of all, I felt like I am so lucky to have lotsof friends celebrating my birthday, and I am so grateful to them, actually, thatoccasion in this restaurant brought me and my friends closer.

14. If you have a chance to learn something new, which of the followingwould you like to learn? Flying an airplane, playing a sport or playing anmusical instrument.

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.

15. Which one of the following factor do you think is most important whenit comes to traveling. Low cost, good weather, or various activities?

Well, Personally, I would say the most important factor is the activitiesthat I can do during the trip. If I go to beautiful places, I will definitelyappreciate the natural beauty, and it will be a shame for me to miss out thechance. If I am going to travel in a coastal city, I like water activities,surfing, water skiing, you can never say that you have been traveling in acoastal city without trying out these aquatic activities. Additionally, it willbe a great shame for me not to do some camping if I plan to climb a beautifulmountain.

16. Choose one of the following natural environment and explain why youwould like to live there most: mountain, forest, desert, prairie, seashore orsomewhere else?

Personally, I prefer to live by the seashore. To begin with, the scenery ofa coastal city can be breathtaking, for instance, I can appreciate the beauty ofmother nature, the sunrise and sunset can be really spectacular, and at the sametime, I get a chance to see the tropical plants, like coconut tree, banana treeand even palm trees. Additionally, I have the opportunity to taste the localseafood, like salmon, shrimp, and even lobster. Lastly, I could try out somewater activities, like, surfing, scuba diving, and tubing, which is prettythrilling.

17. Which of the following forms of art would you choose to learn:sculpture, portrait, or landscape painting? Explain why. Please include reasonsand details in your explanation.

Personally, I prefer to learn to draw landscape. By choosing this kind ofart form, I got a chance to travel to different places with various kinds ofterrains, like desert, lake, coastal city, tropical rainforest, and evenmountainous areas. Apart from that, besides learning how to draw these beautifullandscapes, I can learn local culture, customs, and even local dialects byinteracting with the local people, so I can broaden my horizon and enrich myexperience accordingly.

18. Which of the following do you think is the most difficult andchallenging for university students? Being far away from families, finding timeto relax or making new friends.

I think finding time to relax is the most difficult one for a collegestudent. As known to all, the tuition keeps rising from year to year, in orderto relieve the financial burden, lots of students took two even three part-timejobs off-campus like, bar-tender, dining server and delivery driver. Apart fromthat, the coursework is pretty tough. They have mid-terms, research paper, andpresentation to work on during the whole semester. They are bombarded with boththeir part-time job and workload from school, so the most difficult thing is tofind time to relax.

19. What kind of characteristics or components should a good schoolhave?

Well, personally, I think prestigious universities should have betterfacilities, science students depend on lab equipments to test theories in books,just learning theories without experiment in the lab is too boring andunproductive, so facilities, like research centers are very important. On top ofthat, professors are the key resource of a university, cuz they are the ones whocan motivate the students and develop their skills and make them more creative,thus giving the students a better chance to be successful in the future.

20. If you can have a part-time job at the university what position wouldyou choose? A lab assistant, a campus tour guide or a library assistant?

Personally, I prefer to be a lab assistant. By being a lab assistant, I gota chance to use the lab equipment and apply theory in practice, thus theknowledge that I learn in classrooms can be tested by myself, and that can bevery awesome. Apart from that, I can also interact with the scientist working inthe lab and enlighten myself. Working together with them can be very meaningful,since I plan to get my Ph.D in physics and become a physicist in the future. Theworking experience as a lab assistant can be very valuable when I am applyingfor the graduate school, it will give me a better shot to get scholarship.

21. Your community center now offers classes on the weekends for free,which of the following class you will choose to take, give reason to explainyour choice. 1) A financial course to help you manage money 2) car maintenanceand repair 3)Review of Latin-American music

I would say I like to take a financial course, cuz, it is very importantfor someone to be financially independent and manage their money efficiently, bygoing to a financial course one can learn lots of stuff, like

when it is the right time to invest in stocks, or to buy gold as a form ofasset, or even understand the overall economic condition of the country. Afriend told me that he recently signed up a on line lecture on how to make wiseinvestment in stock market, and he followed the instructions, and it turned outthat he made a very good call by buying the stock from a company, which wasrecommended in the class, and made a big killing in it.

22. Imagine that you have to give up watching TV for one month, would thisbe difficult for you? Explain why.

Well, personally, I would say it will not be difficult for me to do that.Cuz, honestly, I am not a fun of watching TV, since most of the time, I ampretty busy with my school assignment, like presentations, group projects andresearch papers, and stuff. Plus, even if I really need some information ofcurrent events, like sports, technology, and politics, I can always use my smartphone and with a touch on the screen, the whole world is basically in front ofme.

Task 2

1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way tolearn about a country is to watch television shows about this country.

Personally, I do think that watching TV show about a country is thecheapest and effective way to learn about a country. To begin with, to bephysically travel to a country is pretty expensive, like one needs to pay theplane tickets, hotel and other kinds of expenses, and they can add up. Luckily,it costs you basically nothing to sit at your house and watching TV programsabout a country. Additionally, one can really learn a lot about a countrythrough watching TV shows. TV programs have different topics, like one can learnthe customs, local food, regulations, politics and even taboos of a specificcountry.

2. When they write a research paper, some students prefer to let theirprofessors choose the topic for them, while others prefer to choose the topic ontheir own. Which one do you prefer and why?

Personally, I think students should have the freedom to choose their owntopics. To begin with, as we know interest is the best teacher. One is likely tomotivate oneself when doing something he or she is interested in, studentsvarying in interests and writing ability should choose their topics according tothe field that they are familiar with and are interested in. For example,students growing up in a minority ethnic group can write a paper on the topic ofethnicity better than others. Apart from that, it is more fair for students tochoose their own topic. Students who have firsthand knowledge in criminal lawmight not know a thing about interracial marriage. By allowing them to choosetheir own topic, everyone can draw upon their strength and avoid theirshortcomings.

3. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: the best lesson we canlearn is through making mistakes.

Personally, I couldn't agree more with this statement, indeed, the bestlesson one can learn is through making mistakes. Actually, time and experienceare the best teacher, and growth can only be achieved when you make mistakes andafter making mistakes, one has to analyze the real cause and avoid the risk ofmaking the same mistake again. Albert Einstein once said, “Anyone who has nevermade a mistake has never tried anything new.” One can only be a better personand make better judgments by learning from every single experience that we havebeen exposed to, otherwise, we would be the same person as we wereyesterday.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: people will read fewerbooks in the future than they do today.

Personally, I agree that people tend to read fewer books in the future. Tobegin with, people especially city dwellers seem to be busier than ever before.Professionals and students alike are under constant pressure; sales people arebusy closing deals with their clients, and students have endless assignments tofinish. All these combined leaves them no time to read books. Additionally, inthe past, books are the major source for knowledge. However, in sharp contrast,people nowadays tend to retain information through all kinds of media, likeinternet, TV, so on and so forth. It seems that books no longer play a big rolein people's lives.

5. Some people believe that the high school should teach music and art asother basic science. Some people think that providing music and art educationfor high school students is not necessary. What is your opinion and why?

Personally, I think high school students should learn art and music.Actually, it can be very rewarding to learn some art, like kids might understandhow to appreciate delicate artwork, such as, porcelain vase, water colorpainting, sculpture. Plus, art is the expression of the humanity. Without it, wewould have no hope, no aspirations, no joy, just nothing meaningful andenlightening, 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 stresses oflife, work and study!

6. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: employees should beprohibited to listen to music at work.

Well, personally, I think it's a very bad idea to prohibit music inworkplace. Actually, listening to music is a very good way for people to releasetheir negative emotions, like sadness, or sorrow, or even anger. Employees mightforget about the pressure in life and thus have a higher efficiency in theworkplace. Additionally, music keeps people refreshed and spurs creativity andinnovation. So, that is why it is a common practice for high-tech to allow theplay of music in their office, just so that they can create a relaxingenvironment and be more creative, and thus make more breakthroughs in theirfield.

7. It is appropriate that students disagree with their instructor.

Personally, teachers and students have totally different background,experience, and positions, thus they might have their own unique and distinctiveperspective. It is normal and okay for them to hold two different opinions,otherwise, it will be very boring and monotonous, and there is no clash of idea,which might be detrimental to students. Students might subject themselves toconformity instead of expressing their ideas. Actually, students should beinclusive, rather than being exclusive to different opinions and ideas sincesometimes only a few people hold the truth. Students should be exposed to allkinds of opinions, and it is proper for them to disagree with theirinstructors.

8. A/D: It is important to live close to your family.

Personally, I prefer to live close to my parents for the following reasons.To begin with, I am family person, and I enjoy spending time with my families.To spending some quality time once in a while is very important to me, andliving close to my parents can help to do that more conveniently. Plus, if welive close to each other, we can constantly look out for one another. Like if Igot sick or have some kind of emergencies, my parents can attend me in a timelymanner. Also, they are getting old, and they need my immediate care, things canbe much easier if I live close to them.

9. Some universities expect students to choose their major when theyenter university. Others let students wait until the second or third year.Which do you think is better and why?

Personally, I prefer to let students wait until second or third year tochoose their major. To begin with, students struggle to blend in the universityculture for the first year, since high school and university are too different.In high school, students get proper guidance and instruction on everything,however, in a university, students are responsible for themselves and theprofessors might not even know their names, therefore, it's a bad idea to dealwith too many things at the same time. Unfortunately, if they choose their majorafter 2 to 3 years, students get a chance to be exposed to classes in differentfield, and they can take their time and pick up a major that they like.Eventually, they have enough motivation because of their interest.

10. Agree or disagree: Zoos are useful than harmful to animals.

Personally, I couldn't agree more that zoos help to protect animals ratherthan harm them. To begin with, some animals that might live in really harshenvironment, like the Arctic region, Sahara deserts, and even in extremely dryareas. However, the zoo can be a very good place to shelter such animals, andthey can live in a clean and comfortable environment with abundant food to feedthemselves. Additionally, by keeping animals in the zoos, citizens, especiallythe younger generation will get a chance to closely observe them, thus they willknow the animals better, hopefully, this can raise their awareness to protectendangered species.

11. Would you like to live with a roommate from your own country or fromother countries?

Personally, I am the kind of person who like to experience totally newthings. Living in with a roommate from other countries help me to know an exoticculture that might be distinctive from mine, and despite our differences ofcultural background, we can interact with each other and share our thoughts ondifferent issues, thus we can have unique perspectives. For example, thewesterners embrace individualism and oriental people welcome collectivism, andthey are very cautious about an individual's private matter, however people fromthe east might not take that seriously. Eventually, we can enrich experience andbroaden our horizon accordingly.

12. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is importantfor a school to have experienced teachers.

Personally, I couldn't agree more that school should have experiencedteachers. To begin with, it is more likely for experienced teachers to try outnew approaches in teaching, like they might lead the students in their academicexploration and put more emphasis on the students' active thinking instead ofmechanically feeding the students with information, hence, they can helpstudents to improve their learning efficiency. Additionally, students are moreinclined to be attracted by experienced teachers than by rookie teachers, thus aschool with experienced teachers can attract more students and increase theirenrollment.

13. Some people prefer to buy a product as soon as it is in the market.Other people prefer to purchase a product when it has been in the market forsome time. Which do you prefer and why?

I would say I like to buy innovative high-tech products after the pricegoes down, and I have a few reasons for support. First and foremost, productswith cutting edge and state of the art technology are usually very expensivewhen they first come out, and as a college student I do not have lost money towaste on that, cuz I have to pay college tuition, textbooks and stuff like that.Additionally, we consume technological products for its convenience and theywill be as valuable and convenient as they firstly show up in the market, so itis more advisable to buy that after a while.

14. If you were to choose a class to study for fun, which one would youchoose? An art class or a science class?

Personally, I prefer to choose take an art class. I think it is veryrelaxing, and at the same time, it can be very rewarding to learn some art, likeI might understand how to appreciate delicate artwork, such as, porcelain vase,water color painting, sculpture. Plus, art is the expression of the humanity.Without it, we would have no hope, no aspirations, no joy, just nothingmeaningful and enlightening, and one can never underestimate the value of artand music, actually, If you try any form of art, you will get a break from thestresses of life, work and study!

15. Some people prefer to read imaginative literature like fictions intheir spare time，while others prefer to read real literature or nonfictions,such as historical books and biographies. Which kind of books do you prefer, andwhy?

Personally, I choose to read fictions, especially science fiction. Not onlycan I get some knowledge about the frontiers in scientific research, I can alsorelax myself. The storyline of the novel can be really intriguing, thus when Iread a novel, I get deeply involved in the story, and I feel I can connect tothe characters so much that nothing can hold me back from finishing it once Istart to read a novel. However, when it comes to nonfiction, it would be prettyboring, since the materials are fairly abstract for me to understand, therefore,it might be hard for me to get focused when I read nonfictions.

16. Some people play games for enjoyment. Others play games in order towin. Which do you prefer and why?

Personally, most of the time, I play games for enjoyment. I am the kind ofperson, who wants to live a leisurely lifestyle, and I am not aggressive orcompetitive or anything. For me, the whole point of playing games is to relax,and have some fun. Moreover, I am already fed up with peer pressure, as a highschool student, I am judged by academic performance, and actually, I am sostressed out. So, instead of fighting against each other, which is intensive,tiring, I prefer to play games for fun and joy.

17. which do you prefer gather information before travel OR do not gather,just experience yourself there.

Personally, I am cautious person, and most of the time, I plan things aheadof time. When I travel somewhere, I do gather information before I visit theplace. By gathering information before the trip, I can know which hotel is themost comfortable, where can I eat nice local food, and activities I should notmiss out when visiting a particular place. Plus, I might find some taboos inthat local area, and get some heads-up or tips on-line, therefore, I can savemyself from embarrassment. Most importantly, if I plan my itinerary ahead oftime, I will use my time more efficiently, and have a better travelingexperience.

18. Do you agree or disagree that to be successful, a person should studyin the university?

I disagree that a person should study in the university to be successful. Idon't think that people should study in the university to be successful, thereare numerous examples to support my statement. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, theydrop out of universities and they are very successful entrepreneurs. there areeven high school dropouts who started their business and are quite successful.You can learn knowledge from university, but one needs soft skills like how tobe people smart person, which doesn't require a person to go to university tolearn. Knowing how to deal with people is more important than what you learnedin universities. In other words, it is not about what you know, it is about whoyou know.

19. Some students prefer to study in a library. Others prefer to study athome or in dormitories. Which way do you prefer and why? Include reasons anddetails in your response.

I would say I'd like to study in the library. The most obvious reason isthat it is very quiet in the library, and I can fully focus on my work andnothing can distract me. There are just too much distraction to study at home, Ican lay on my bed and play computer games when I feel bored, it is just not thatproductive compared to studying in the library. Plus, when studying in thelibrary, I feel like people around me are also studying, and that is amotivation for me to concentrate on my own work. For these reasons, I would sayI like to study in the library.

20. Some people enjoy indoor activities, other prefer to do outdooractivities. Which do you prefer?

Personally, I like to get out and have some fun, to begin with I have morechoices if I choose to do outdoor activities, like climbing mountain, gofishing, go boating or canoeing. However, if I chose to stay indoors, I feellike I would be bound by the activities that I could do. It is much moreexciting and relaxing to do activities outdoors, since not only can I keep fit,but also I have a chance to breath fresh air and I am not bound by the limitedspace indoors.

21. Some people speak out in class, others prefer to listen and quietlyobserve. Which do you think leads to greater success in school?

Personally, I prefer to speak out and discuss things with my peers. I wouldsay the best way to learn is to speak out my ideas and thoughts about issue inquestion. It is a great chance for me to develop my confidence when speaking infront of a large audience and possibly I build up my public speaking skills, andit is a very valuable skill for my future career. Additionally, the whole classgets a chance to hear multiple points of view, although some points might not beas thought-provoking, you can learn a lot of stuff beyond the textbooks anyway,and understand how an idea works in real life when people speak out and sharetheir personal experiences.

22. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: it is better to live closeto parents than to live far away from them.

Personally, I prefer to live close to my parents for the following reasons.To begin with, I am family person, and I enjoy to spend time with my families.To spending some quality time once in a while is very important to me, andliving close to my parents can help to do that more conveniently. Plus, if welive close to each other, we can constantly look out for one another. Like if Igot sick or have some kind of emergencies, my parents can attend me in a timelymanner. Also, they are getting old, and they need my immediate care, things canbe much easier if I live close to them.

23. Do you prefer to live alone or live with others.

Personally, I prefer to live alone. Actually, I am very private person,most of the time, I keep things to myself. I would get distracted if I chose tolive with others who I might not familiar with. Actually, I am highly efficientwhen I do things without the disturb of others, like when I study I feel morecomfortable when nobody is around me. Plus, someone you are living with mighthave totally different habits and schedule when it comes to when to study orsleep or even watch TV. It would be really disruptive when one wants to studywhile the other prefers to watch TV.
