In school, we are constantly under lots ofpressure, the assignments like problem sets, presentations, research papers arekilling us.

10. Your friend has suddenly received a lot of money. What do you think isthe best way for your friend to spend this money?

Personally, I would advice my friend to make some wise investment, to beginwith, the inflation in my country is pretty serious, it doesn't make any senseto deposit the money in the bank. He should invest the money in buying somegold, real estate, cuz the real estate in my country maintains such a strongmomentum, I bet he can make more money out of this. Additionally, he can alsoinvest the money to assist lots of start-ups, and as the saying goes, don't putall of your eggs in one basket, he should invest in different industries toavoid risk.

At the same time, I canmake friends with people who have the same interest, and talking to them can begreat fun. Additionally, there are not a lot of people who can play instrument,if I can learn a piano, I will be very popular among my friends, thus I willstand out.

After careful consideration of bothadvantages and disadvantages, I think the advantages greatly outweigh thedisadvantages. so I decide to study in the us.

I would suggest my friend to eat healthy stuff like vegetables, like salad,tomatoes, and broccoli.

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.

15. 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.

Additionally, it willbe a great shame for me not to do some camping if I plan to climb a beautifulmountain.

17. 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.

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.

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. 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.


Task 2(共24题)

1. Which one do you prefer, shopping in a large store or shopping in asmall store?

I prefer to shop in a small store, to begin with, in a small store, youmight get customized products that are tailed to your taste and preference.Also, generally the best food comes from small stores instead of supermarkets,like the pizza sold in a small store tastes like home-make. However, theproducts in a supermarket or department store come in bulk, and it ismanufactured by machines. On top of that, in a department store, usually it isvery crowded and packed with customers, you have to wait in line to check out,it is a waste of time, and it is difficult to find the stuff you want to buysince there are some many sections, and lots of stacks of products in asection.

2. Some people prefer the traditional way of working, like going to theoffice settings while others prefer to work at home, which one do you prefer andwhy?

Personally, I prefer to work in an office. First and foremost, when youwork in an office, you wear professional suits and feel like you are veryprofessional, and will be more confident about your job, thus you can improveyour working efficiency. Plus, you got lots of coworkers who are also working inthe same office, and you will feel the competitive and cooperative workingatmosphere, which is also likely to boast your productivity. And, actually, lotsof company have very relaxing and flexible working environment, where they caneven play their own music. In sharp contrast, you will feel sleepy and tend toslack off when working in your comfy home.

3. Some people like to spend their vacation in countryside. Others likevacationing in the cities. Which do you prefer and explain why.

Personally, I would choose to go on a vacation in the country. The onlyreason for me to go on a vacation is to get away from the busy streets andconcrete jungles n the city, and get a chance to be close to mother nature. Bytraveling in the country, I might find a nice spot to go camping and appreciatethe beautiful starry sky at night, and enjoy the tranquility, I don't have thechance to enjoy that kind of moment when living in the city. Also, traveling inthe country makes it easier for me to do some hiking, like walking on the trail,and do some fishing and BBQ.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is easier to bea teacher than to be a student?

Personally, I don't agree with that. Actually, it is way easier to be astudent than being a teacher. To begin with, to be good teachers, one needs tohave years of teaching experience, a good educational background and even alively character. Frankly, that is very hard to do. However, everyone has aprivilege to be a student. Apart from that, a teacher has far more trickysituations to deal with than students. For example, lots of students, especiallykids misbehave in class, they interrupt the teacher, shout out the answerwithout raising their hands, or even walk around the classroom. The teachershave to discipline them, at the same time they have to make sure the studentsstill have enough motivation to learn.

5. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: technology devices distancepeople far more now than before.

Personally, I don't agree with that, actually, I think that technology,like internet, brings people closer than ever. For instance, I got a friend whois now studying in the States, and I cannot visit him a lot because of theexpensive plane ticket. Fortunately, with the help of internet, I can video chatwith him. Not only can I hear his voice, but also I can see his facialexpression and body movement, which makes our communication more efficient andmore convenient. Additionally, with the help of internet, I can make friendseasily with people who have the same hobby. I joined a group of badminton loverson facebook, and we play badminton together every Saturday. It is amazing.

6. While traveling, some people prefer to go to new places, others preferto visit familiar places. Which do you think it better? Explain why.

Personally, I would to choose to travel to new places instead of familiarplaces. I am the kind of person who likes new and exciting things andexploration. Just visiting a familiar place is not fun, and actually it ispretty boring. On top of that, travelling around in different places makes me awell-rounded person. When travelling, I got a chance to talk to locals and getto know their culture, customs and way of living. By interacting with them I canbroaden my horizon and have new perspective on things.

7. 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!

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

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.

12. 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!

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students shouldalways study in quiet places.

Personally, I think students should always study in quiet places. To beginwith, students are likely to concentrate more when studying in quiet places,like in the library or classroom, I can fully focus on my work and nothing candistract me. There are just too much distraction to study in a noisyenvironment. Plus, when studying in quiet places, like the library, I feel likepeople around me are also studying, and that is a motivation for me toconcentrate on my own work.

20. Some people prefer to write many short assignments for a semester,others prefer to write one or two long assignments for a semester. Which do youprefer? Include specific details and examples in your response.

Personally, I prefer to write several short assignments instead of one ortwo long assignments. To begin with, I don't want to be overly stressed out whenthe big assignments are about to be due, long assignments are likely to be toughto deal with, actually, as the saying goes, "Don't put all of your eggs in onebasket", by writing short assignments, I can spread the risk, also I will not beworn out, since short assignments are much easier to deal with. By doingassignment this way, I can avoid serious time conflict when other big projectsare due at the same time together with the big assignments.

21. Agree or disagree: Advertisements have too much influence on whatpeople 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.

22. Some students prefer to go to universities or colleges in theirhometown. Others prefer to go to universities or colleges in new cities ortowns. Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in yourexplanation.

Personally, I prefer to study in a new city. I think it is very boring tostay in your city, where you have been living for almost 20 years, they peopleyou will meet are still those you met during primary school and high school.However, to be able to study in another city, you get a chance to learn theirlocal cultures, appreciate the natural beauty, and above all meet more excitingpeople, and by interacting with local people and making new friend in that cityduring college, you can broaden your horizon and enrich you life experience.

23. When traveling, do you prefer to stay at one place for a long time orspend less time but visit more places? Explain you answer in details.

Personally, I prefer to stay at one place for a long time. As for me, thepurpose of traveling around is to experience the local cultures and customs,appreciate the natural beauty there. You might have to take your time andinteract with the locals, taking photos, and it is quite impossible for one toachieve that if they just leave the place the time they arrive. Additionally,traveling between places waste lots of precious time, which can be otherwiseused to experience and understand one single place. Also, it saves you thetrouble to plan a complicated itinerary and you don't have to worry aboutgetting stuck on your way to the next destination.

24. Do you agree with the following statement: it is important to learnfrom ancestors.

I couldn't agree more with that, learning history from ancestors is a greatway to learn the mindset, ideas, and attitudes of the past, and this gives us achance to learn from who we came from and find one's identity. Additionally, wecan draw upon the ancient philosophy to make today's world a better place, likeancient Chinese philosophy can gives us some insight on how to live harmoniouslywith the mother nature and stop polluting the environment, to help the preservethe endangered species, and stuff like that.
