Last spring, my friend Caroline and I went to have lunch in our neighborhood café. It was a popular café and the place was packed that day. Suddenly, as I was finishing my pasta, a pigeon flew in through the open door. It immediately landed one of the wooded rafters above the tables. Only a handful of people seemed to have noticed. But then things got kind of crazy. The pigeon swooped down and started flying in a low circle around and around the restaurant, brushing past people and their food. People were standing up in alarm.

I suppose that having a pet at home is a good idea for the following reasons.

Firstly, with the company of pets, children can cultivate their feeling of love; adults can relieve their tension; and old people will not feel lonely anymore. In the second place, some pets have the abilities to help people. For example, guide dogs can lead ways for blinds; watchdogs can guard houses; cats can catch mice. Therefore, it would be a great experience to have such pets like dogs or cats at home.

Well, I’m gonna talk about my study.

The interesting books make me preoccupied with them and I have learned a lot of knowledge from them.

Secondly, it’s very quiet and helps me relax. When I am tired after a long time of study, I usually open all the windows and listen to the birds singing and smell the pleasant scent of the flowers. Looking far into the sky, watching the clouds moving slowly, all these just seem to be fascinating.

2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, the most important lessons can't be learned in classroom

答案一:

I agree with the statement. In my opinion, generally the most important lessons aren’t the knowledge about science or art we learn in classrooms; instead refer to the precious personal experience, with which we can be a better person. For example, by dealing with difficulties in our life, we accumulate experiences and become stronger; at practical work we improve our skills and learn how to communicate with others; even through traveling we can get closer to the nature and appreciate cultures more deeply. I think these are ones of those most important lessons in our life and obviously can’t be learned in classrooms.

答案二:

Personally speaking, it depends on the subjects whether the most important lessons can be learned in classrooms or not. For instance, some subjects like history which is mainly about some details of years, events and persons in the history needed to be remembered, apparently the most important lessons of history can be learned in classrooms. In the contrary, some subjects which are more practical just like English can’t be learned well just in classrooms. The best way for this kind of subjects is to go outside the classroom and practice as much as you can by using it in daily life. So in a word, it all depends on the subjects you learn.

1. There has to be a result of a game.

2. Boosting competitive consciousness is significant when pursuing success.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: in order to be successful a person should study in the university

解析:not necessary

1. not all the successful person had been to university. Eg Steven Jobs and Bill Gates didn’t finish their university study but they are extremely successful.

7. Do you agree with the following statement: people should wear suit instead of casual clothes in working places

参考答案:

I think that people should wear suits in working places. Dressed up in professional service has a lot of advantages for the corporation. When the white collar is dressed in suits, he or she looks very tidy, neat and professional which makes it easier for customers to birth to their talk to them thus easy do business and make profits. Also, study shows that wearing a suit can boost moral of a corporation and help to eliminate the business among employees. In this case, the corporation as a whole lives a very good image for potential customers. For those reasons I think people should we shoot rather than ten schools and work places.

8. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: watching sports programs on television is not a good use of time.

解析:这道题目的观点比较特别,不是单纯的watch TV program,而是具体的sports program, 所以考生的回答,不论正面反面都要涉及到sports program以及TV

参考答案:

I would say no to this question.

When I watch a sports game on TV, I actually get really bored. I’m thinking “I would rather being playing a sport than watching it on TV.” Granted, sometimes you can see some spectacular plays when you watch professional sports on TV, but in general I am bored watching other people play. My favorite part about sports is the competition. When I sit in my living room watching the game on TV, I don’t really feel a part of the competition. No matter how much I cheer, the players won’t hear me. I am not helping them win at all. I would rather be the one playing than watching.

9. Should students start to plan their career before entering in college, or should they do so until they have entered college and started for a period of time.

参考答案:

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions during ones life time and therefore should not be rushed. Before entering college, most young people have no idea f what they want most and where their interest and passion really lies. So it might e a good idea to wait until they have studied a number of college courses before deciding upon which line of work they really like to pursue. It avoids reckless decision based on unfounded assumptions about a career. Whats more, college also provides a lot of internship positions during vacation for students to have a real taste of what a particular job involves, after getting a comprehensive picture, students are in a position to make informed choices.

10. Do you prefer to use animals to communicate with your friends and family members or do you prefer used the telephone

参考答案:

I would like to use for us to communicate with my family members and friends because it's faster and much easier to reach them. I went to a high school far away from my hometown, being a teenager is a very difficult. At that time, every time I came across some difficulties, I wanted to talk with my parents about it. With phone, I could easily reach them and talk to them into no time, and when I heard there was everything seems to start to get better. However, writing an email and waiting for the reply will take much longer time and even a few days.

11. Do you prefer to live in an area that is noise but close to shops and public transportation or an area that's quite far away from the shop public transportation?

参考答案:

I prefer living a quiet place even it's far away from the supermarket or shopping malls. I have two reasons: firstly, home is the place that I enjoy relaxing in, For example, when I'm retired from work and study, the thing that I want to do is to most to stay at home, sleeping as long as I can, enjoying the cup of tea while watching TV. So it's very important that my neighborhood is quiet, otherwise I couldn't have a good rest. Secondly, even though she were markets are far away I can drive my car to the big mall in the city center every week can I get those groceries I need. So thats wouldnt be a big issue.

12. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, in order to stay happy, you must do a job that you love

positive answer

l interest is the basic resource and power that you keep on your job

l people usually do a good job in their favorite field

13. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, it's never too late for an old people to receive higher education and to get a university degree

参考答案:

I agree that it is never too late for an old people to receive high education and get a university degree. Even though the old people miss the best period to learn knowledge, nothing is impossible to a willing heart. The most important factor to study well is diligence, not intelligence or age. In addition, there are many people who cannot receive high education or get a university degree at young age because of kinds of reasons or want to learn more knowledge. We should encourage all old people who want to receive high education and get a university degree.

14. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, young children should learn to draw or paint

参考答案:

Personally speaking, I believe that children should learn to draw or paint, for the reasons as follows.

First of all, drawing is fun and it could help the children discover the joy of creating. The children need the opportunities to stimulate their imaginations, which could help them solve the problems in daily life.

In the second place, when children learn to draw, they would also gain a sense of accomplishment. They would definitely have the sense of achievement when they enjoy the picture theyve done.

Therefore, children should learn to draw or paint.
