No, I hate shopping. Please allow me to explain. Firstly, Iunderstand shopping is the most basic activity in a capitalistic society. Butpeople are often lured into buying things they don't really need. Some peopleeven shop till they drop. I don't like that. Secondly, I believe shopping is awoman thing.

Describe a friend who you think is agood leader.
You should say:
who this friend is
how you first met this person
what you and this friend do together
what kind of person he/she is
and explain why you think he/she is a good leader.
Sample:
I definitely think leadership abilities require a person tohave many good qualities. I remember my friend, Gang, a good leader with noblecharacter.
I have known him for more than ten years. He’s willing tohelp others, and can take people’s advice. The most important thing is that hecan always have a big picture when he does things. Maybe that’s why people alllike him and support him.
Actually, he’s my middle school classmate. He’s veryoutstanding, so he became our class monitor. He has the ability to make peopletrust him and be willing to follow his instructions. When we had some bigevents, such as the New Year’s party or the school field day, he could alwaysarrange everything well. Now, he’s a manager of a big company. He’s still thesame. All the employees are supportive because he’s willing to sacrifice histime and energy for them. Once he told me his dream was to make his employeessuccessful, and he said when his employees were successful, he would be evenmore outstanding
I think he’s a good leader and I have learned a lot fromhim. I’m sure it’s a pleasure for others to work for him.
l What qualities should a leader have?
It’s not easy to be a leader. A good leader should have anexemplary character. It is of utmost importance that a leader is trustworthy tolead others. A good leader is enthusiastic about their work or cause. Leadersneed to be able to be a source of inspiration, and be a motivator towards therequired action or cause. Although the responsibilities and roles of a leadermay be different, the leader needs to be seen to be part of the team workingtowards the goal. Good leaders are tolerant of ambiguity and remain calm,composed and steadfast to the main purpose.
l Should managers have higher salaries?
Definitely. Managers usually need to put more efforts intotheir career and the company. It’s not common to see a manager have a lot offree time but we would usually picture them working in front of the desk allday long. Also, when a company faces difficulties or is in trouble, it’susually the manager to be blamed at because they take greater responsibilitiesthan others. Because of these reasons, I believe they deserve higher pay.
l How do you think the gap between the rich andthe poor will develop in the future?
In my opinion, the gap between the rich and the poor will benarrowed in the future. Firstly, the information gap, one of the major reasonsto cause the difference, will be narrowed, due to the easy accessibility withthe help of modern information technology. Also, with the effort of governmentsat all levels, monopolies, privileges, and inequalities among people will bereduced, helping to shorten the gap between the rich and the poor.
