第一部分

When was the first time you did cooking? and what you cooked?

The first I did cooking was on a summer day at my twenty. That day I made two dished with the help of my grandma. The first dish I made was “ the tomato fries the egg", my favourite food. Though I was a bit nervous, I did it right, however it's not as delicious as that cook e d by grandma. Then I tried the 'pork braised in soy sauce'. It's not bad as my first try.

Sample Answer

I’d like to talk about the change in my life that happened last year. I used to stay up late and get up late in the morning. I thought that was the best way for me to use my time more effectively because I loved studying and doing things at night. One day, I watched a TV program about health living. In the program, the expert said that if we didn’t go to bed before 11 o’clock, our body wouldn’t get a good rest even if we got up late. Then, I began to reflect on my own life style and began to feel that I was living a very unhealthy life. I decided to have a change. I began to go to bed before 11. At first, it was very difficult for me because I felt hard to fall asleep. Then, I tried to listen to some soft music and drink a cup of milk before going to bed. After a while, I began to get used to my new schedule. However, even without staying up late, I still got up very late in the first two weeks. I began to set my alarm clock and I also asked me mom to keep an eye on me and wake me up in the morning. Of course, my mom was very happy to contribute in such things. Now, I feel I can be more productive than before and I can use my morning time well to study.  

I think it’s a very positive change in my life and I’m sure I’ll keep doing it. Sometimes, making changes isn’t easy, but if we try our best, we’ll be able to succeed.

1.What forms of exercise are most popular in your country?

A lot of them are popular. I know many of my friends love football, basketball and badminton. They would always get together with their friends to play some group sports. Biking is also getting popular nowadays. I think they’re all good ways to work out and make us feel refreshed.

2.Is there much difference between the exercise that young people do and the exercise that old(er) people do?

高分知识点

competitive sports = 竞技运动

3.What do you think are the health benefits of exercise?

Exercise is good for our mental and physical health. After sitting in front of the computer for a whole day, some good sports can definitely help us stretch our and tired muscles. We can also feel relaxed and release the stress and tension from work and studies.  

高分知识点

mental and physical health = 身心健康

stretch = 伸展；拉展

4.Which do you think is better, to do things indoors or outdoors?

I think a combination will be good. We need to go outside to breathe fresh air,

exercise our body, and spend some time with our friends. However, it’s also

necessary for a person to have some quiet time at home, such as reading, surfing

the internet, and listening to music. They’re just different.  

高分知识点

5.How much do you think diet is an important part of having a healthy lifestyle?

I think it’s very important. If we don’t eat healthily, we might be over-weighted, which can cause many serious body conditions. Nowadays, a lot of studies have showed us how important it is to have a healthy diet.
