NO.1
Which technology has made the greatest impact on people's lives in your
country: airplane computer or television? Use specific reasons and examples to
support your response.
i am a foodie, and when ive got free time i love to search for recipe/
cooking book online and try it out in my own kitchen, therefore, id
like to say that computers have made the greatest impact on our life
here in China. one reason is that/because computers have given us access to
the age of the Internet, thus people can find whatever information they want by
clicking a few buttons. For example, if you are going to find out information
about the tourism industry in any city here in China, all you have to do is to key
in tourism and the name of that city on your computer, and you would get tons
of results for your reference. Furthermore, computers have also saved us a lot of
time by computerizing a lot of things. since they are capable of multitasking and
high speed calculating, they have enabled us to be more efficient in life and at
work. when i want to prepare something in my kitchen, i only need to press a few

buttons and the computers in the microwave oven would take care of everything
else, saving me heaps of time of trouble, which can be a fine example.
Therefore, I definitely think the computer has made the greatest impact on our
lives.

NO.2
Describe the greatest period of your life and explain why.
I love traveling, a lot, therefore when i think of those great periods in my life, i
think of the time when i get to travel a lot. so i think the greatest period is
definitely during my college years. when i was in college, ive got plenty of time
available and also a bunch of friends who share my interest. so during each
summer or spring holidays we would always arrange a trip somewhere. For
example,.during that period, ive learned more about the world and about
myself. for example, ive made up my mind in becoming a tour guide. and also
ive learned more about the importance of cultural preservation.
I am a foodie, so when i think of those great periods in my life, i think of the time
when i get to enjoy food the most.
I love reading books, so when i think of those great periods in my life, i think of
the time when i get to enjoy reading the most.
Those years in the ivory tower are years of indulgence.

NO.3
Choose a job lawyer, animal doctor, restaurant owner, which on you prefer
i love reading detective novels, sherlock Holmes is always my favorite. so if i
have to choose from the three, i think i would like to become a lawyer. because
as a lawyer i have the chance to do justice. because you have to use your
deduction skill to investigate and reason and argue, and i think ive developed a
good sense of deduction since i was very little. and ive seen many movies in
which lawyers have protected the right of victims and put criminals to justice. To
me, becoming a lawyer is like becoming a superhero.

NO.4
give advice about how to make friends in a new city
well, i have two recommendations.
to start with, i think he can try his best to make more friends. For example, he can try his
best to be nice and polite to people at work or in life, and this would win him respect so
people may realize that hes a friendly person and then would like to get acquainted/

familiar. for example, he can start from getting to know his neighbors, which would not
be a tough one i think.
In addition, he can always try to turn to others for help. for example, he can find a local
club or association that he is interested in, and there he can find a lot of people sharing
the same interest. its always easier to make friends with those who share your interests.
so the club members can give him a lot of help i think.
These are the two pieces of advice ive love to give to my friends.

NO.5

describe a
job you admired but you will NOT choose it yourself
well, i am a foodie therefore ive always been dreaming of becoming a
great chef. so i get to prepare the best dishes and even create a lot of delicacy
that no one has every tried. for example, ive got a friend who has studied
cooking in France and hes become a blue-labeled chef and opened his own
restaurant when he came back, which is indeed amazing. however, this is mostly
just a dream and i suppose i would not become a chef. because im not really
good at this and my families would never support me on that. for example, when
i tried to cook something is the kitchen, i always accidentally burn something.
And my families always want me to become a lawyer or a banker, which may be
more respected in our culture. Therefore, even though id love to become a great
chef, pursing my dream is not going to happen in my life, i think.
NO.6
Describe why organizing time is challenging for university students and why it is
important?
welli think there are two reasons.
To start with, there is the objective reason. when you are in university, there are just too
many temptations/attractions/things to do, so organizing time can be complicated. For
example, university students have to balance their time on studying and social life; also
they have to spare sometime on doing a part-time job. All of these requires efficient time
management skills, yet nobody is teaching students how to do this, therefore, it is very
challenging.
Moreover, university students are constantly under time pressure, therefore it is
important for them to manage their time well. for example, ever since week 1/the
orientation week, students have to work on multiple papers towards their deadlines; if
they cannot manage to have enough time, they may easily fail these subjects. and also,
some students get distracted by all sorts of activities on campus, so they procrastinate on
their study, so it is important for them to realize how to organize their time.
a disorganized timetable would make it difficult to fit in any new arrangement or
something happened accidentally.

NO.7
volunteer work
Im pretty good at computer, therefore, i would choose to teach people how to
search for information in libraries. because i think i am capable of doing that and
im glad to help others with such need. for example, when i was studying in
college, ive helped my classmates to do research online and he thanked me a
lot for doing that.although id also like to work with children or to help get
everything in order in a library, i think i should do something im really good at,
therefore
Im a very organized person,
NO.8

adequate
well, i like jogging a lot, however, i dont think universities can offer a running
track/routes/path for students to enjoy jogging. therefore, i hope universities can
increase funding for sports facilities on campus. To start with, i think by doing so
students like me can better enjoy their favorite sports on campus, which can
indeed help them to relieve their pressure for studying. In addition, the state of
the arts/ the first class sports facilities can also attract more promising students
talented in sports and this would bring more achievements and honor to
universities.
NO.8
Talk about your favorite book when you were a child. Explain in details why you
liked to read it.
i was and still am a foodie, therefore, when i was little, i liked to read a lot of
things about delicious foods/local delicacy/cuisine in different cultures. i
remember that my parents have bought me a book called Food Dictionary,
which is indeed my favorite. I got the book when i was 7, and my father got to
travel a lot abroad, so sometimes he brought me something as gift. Once he
gave me a this book full of pictures and said that i would love it. When Ive
opened it, i just couldnt have enough of it. It gave detailed description of foods
around the world, for example, it had pictures of thousands types of curry from
Indian and even more types of Sushi from Japan. Moreover, they even had
detailed instruction about how to make these foods. Although i could not cook
back then, i fell in love with the book immediately..I love this book not only
because it has fulfilled my desire for food, but also because i have learned a lot
from reading it.

NO.9
If you had a chance to learn new things, which one would you choose to learn?
Select one of the following and explain your reasons: 1. Play a new sport, 2. fly a
plane, or 3. play a new instrument.
I want to have more adrenaline rush

well, because im really good working with children, so if possible, Id like to give
them a lecture. because i think i can have my ways to settle them down is a
classroom and keep their attention for a long period of them. i think i can make a
small video clip, using cartoon to show them what environmental protection
means. we can even practice some drama to teach more children how to save
our planet.
NO.11
Talk about an important decision that you have made. Explain why this decision
was important for you in details.
im a foodie and i have decided to become a successful chef and i think this is
the most important decision that i have ever made. because, first of all, this has
decided on the career path that i am going to take. you know in our culture, chef
if not a very respectable job, some parents may even think that working in a
kitchen is a shame. However, ive always wanted to be a chef, being able to
prepare foods for many people who share my interests. so I think this is a very
honorable/ideal occupation. In addition, this is the first time that ive decided to
follow my heart instead of others opinion, which has made me very proud.
Therefore, this is very important.
NO.12
If you can have a part-time job at the university, what position would you
choose; a lab assistant, a campus tour guide, or a library assistant? Why?
well, ive spent quite a lot of time in our library, and i know the place like the
back of my hands. so i want to be a library assistant.
NO.13
Talk about your favorite book when you were a child. Explain in details why you
liked to read it.
NO.14
Describe a memorable experience in a restaurant or cafe.
well, im a foodie and i have a very strict requirement about food that i ordered in
a restaurant, which is when a dish is served i want to hear the story behind this
dish. once ive enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my friends in a restaurant that is
over 100 years old. I think that experience is memorable not only because Ive
tasted some of the most delicious foods that ive ever tried, but also because
ive learned a lot from that place. when the waiter serves a dish, he would

explain the name and ingredients and the meaning behind the presentation. so
you can enjoy a dish with a story to back it up. it makes the dinner a totally
different experience. you are not only feeding your stomach/belly, you are also
feeding your brain. so that is what we call brain feast.
NO.15
have a good time
Well, i love singing, so sometimes my friends and I would go to KTV and sing a song or
two. once weve sung in a local KTV for a whole night,and though very exhausted, we
all enjoyed that. conservative
NO.16
Imagine that you have to stop using cell phone for a month. Would that be
difficult for you?
well, im a heavy mobile phone user, therefore, if i could not use my mobile phone for a
month, i think it would be very difficult. first of all, i couldnt stay in touch with my
friends. well, im used to getting updates about my friends from APPs on my mobile
phone, without it, im kinda cut off from my friends. Whats worse, i just dont another
way to help kill time.
NO.17
Your friend has been offered a job that's far away from his hometown. Do you
think he should take it or not? Give specific reasons and details to support your
response.
generally, i think he should take it. because when you start a new life in a new place
where nobody knows you, its like youve got a second chance to start over. so you can
be a better version of yourself this time. for example, since no one knows you, so you
dont have to be nervous of losing face, you can try to be social and open to others. like
when i was little i was very nervous, because i grown up in a little town where
everybody knows everybody. but after ive went to college in another city, that problem
has gone forever. Although some people may worry that starting a new life in a new city
can be difficult, a challenging life is more exciting.
therefore, I would recommend him to take the job.
NO.18
Describe a news article or a story that you are interested in recently. Explain
why you think it was interesting. (Include reasons and details in your response.)
well, for the last few months ive been preparing to study abroad, therefore, ive
grown to be interested in news or stories about oversea education. once Ive
heard a piece of story on the news about how a Chinese student has opened his
own company immediately after graduating from a US university, which was very
encouraging. The hero of the story is just an ordinary Chinese student, who has
got his bachelor degree in XXXX university. After graduation, he has opened a
company providing math tutoring service online, and within a year, has has
made quite a small fortune, becoming an icon in the neighborhood. I like the

story because it has taught me a lot, one of which is as long as i can work hard,
there is always an opportunity waiting for me outside the ivory tower.

NO.1
Some universities expect students to choose their major when they enter
university. Others let students wait until the second or third year. Which do you
think is better and why? Preference
Personally, id prefer to choose my major later on, well, the reason is that i want
to get to know more about myself and about university life before i reach a final
decision. for example, what if ive chosen a subject that was supposed to be fun
and practical but after a year ive found that it was tedious and theoretical? so I
think having more time i can sit in different classes to get a better idea about
what other subjects are like and then make my call. although some may assume
that picking your career path earlier can save you a lot of time, i think a wrong
decision can cost you even more. Therefore, my preference is to wait until ive
know more about everything.

NO.2
Some people believe that it is better for children to grow up in big cities. Others
believe that it is better for children to grow up in small towns or rural areas.
What is your opinion and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your response.
generally speaking id prefer to have my children grow up in big cities, the
reason is that here children can have better education and healthcare, which i
believe are the two most important things for development of children. for
example, when you grow up in small towns or villages, you may not be able to
attend world-class competition or receive education from those prestigious/
famous professors around the world; however, if you grow up in those
metropolises, you can have more of such opportunities. all of these are beneficial
to the development of intelligence of children. although some people may prefer
rural surrounding simply because the air is fresher and the stress is less, i
suppose these are not that important as education and health for the underaged.
therefore, my preference is .

NO.3
Some think robots are useful in the future. Some think robots will never be more
useful and smarter than human. Which do you agree
generally speaking, i think robots in the future would be much more useful, even more
useful and powerful then we are. the reason is that development/advancement in
computer technology and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and i believe at such pace
everything is possible in the near future. for example, lately weve had a AI that has
beaten the grandmaster in chess and Chinese Go. So i think they would soon be much
smarter than we are. although some people may worry that one day when robots are
smarter than us, we mankind would be destroyed so robots cannot be allowed to be
smarter than human, i think such idea is only fear against new technology instead of
rational thinking. therefore, i believe robots can be more useful than we are in the near
future.
NO.4
Some answer the phone and text a message in the middle of the conversation,
Do you think this is a good behavior or bad one?
personally speaking, i dont think this is very good because it is not showing
respect to the other party in the conversation. For example, when you are
discussing some academic topic with your lecturer and your mobile phone rings,
you would not want to pick it up because you know that the lecturer may not feel
being respected. Although some people may think it is not such a big deal and
sometimes people do have urgent needs to answer a call or text a message, i
suppose that things can wait for a minute or two. or at least you should apologize
first and get that call. this is a matter of politeness and etiquette. therefore, i
dont accept such behavior.

NO.5
social lives with friends to relax.
personally, id rather stay at home and spend the time i want. because when you
do so, you can have a lot of disposable time, so you can make your own plan. for
example, last weekends, ive stayed at home for two whole days, and i enjoyed
the casual weekends reading some of my book and take my time. although some
people may argue that getting a social life with your friends can be more relaxing
because you can have someone to share with, when you do so, you cannot take
full control of your disposable time but to share that with your friends as well.
therefore,id prefer to stay at home.
solitary

NO.6
well, im a family-centered person, therefore id definitely choose to go to my
sisters party. because she is family and families are always more important to
me than career or academia. so i would not hesitate going to her birthday party.
although some people may think helping your professor is more important since
you can give him or her a good impression and meanwhile you get to be part of
something scientifically important, for me nothing is comparable to the
importance/value of families, therefore, id join my sister in her party.

NO.7
well, i love reading novels and i think lessons on foreign languages are important
because with one more language i can enjoy more authentic novels/literatures in another
culture. for example, i like detective novels by Japanese writers, however, i can only
read translated version because i dont know japanese. So if universities can offer
Japanese language class, compulsory or not, i would definitely welcome it. although
some people may think compulsory class on computer is more important because we
have to use computers in a lot of areas, we only use simple functions of computers in life
so there is no need to learn from attending classes. we can likewise learn more about
how to use computers through reading manual or by using it. therefore, i think foreign
language classes should be compulsory in universities.
NO.8
Some students prefer to study in the library. Others prefer to study at home or in
the dormitory. Which way would you prefer and why? Include reasons and
details in your response.
personally, id choose to study in the library because there i can better concentrate and
also i can easily find resources that i need in my study. for example, a couple of weeks
before the examination, i would spend days of time in library, without disturbance from
roommates or parents, i can focus on my study. although some people may think they
are more used to the surroundings at home or in their dormitories, so studying there can
be more comfortable, to me being comfortable is not something that important. therefore
i choose to study in the library.
NO.9
Do you agree that parents put more pressure on students in school than ever
before?
Personally, i agree. the reason is that competition in society has become much more
brutal so parents are doubling their attention on education/academic performance of
their children. for example, a lot of children were asked to learn knowledges that are
much more ahead of their age. in one example, a friend of mine has a 6 year old son, he
was forced to learn knowledges that were supposed to be taught in grade two, which can
be a fine example to show that parents have put more pressure indeed. although some
parents may have cut some slack for their children, they claim that all they want is

natural development and a happy childhood for their children, that is not very common/
that is just for some privileged families. therefore, i agree that most parents have put
more pressure on their childrens school work.

The professor talks about what animals that dont live underwater do to stay
underwater. The first way is to reduce movement in order to save oxygen. For
example, an alligator hunts underwater by staying very still, with basically no

movement. In doing so, it can cut down its heart rate and reduce the need for
more oxygen. The second way is to minimize the time spent underwater. For
example, a brown pelican dives down to catch fish in the water. It doesnt go
deep and it has air sacks that open in the water. That will help the pelican get
back to the surface as fast as possible for oxygen.

The professor talks about two types of suspense in a movie.
The first type is when the audience tries to guess the ending. For example, two
heroes set the same goal, but the audience has no idea who will come out first.
The second type is that the audience knows the ending but has no clue about
the process of getting there. For example, in a love story, the hero and heroine
will undoubtedly meet in the end, but how they meet each other becomes the
intrigue.

cues

In the lecture, the professor talks about two cues consumers use to judge the
qualities of products. The first is the intrinsic cue, where the customers judge the
products quality by their physical characteristics, such as color, texture, and
size. For example, customers will think a food possesses good qualities if it
tastes good. The opposite is the extrinsic cue, where the customers dont judge
a products quality by its physical characteristics. For example, if a juice is
placed inside a good looking glass bottle and has a good label, consumers will
think it has good qualities. Here the product is evaluated by the external
packaging but not by the taste of the juice itself.

There are two ways whales use sounds to survive in the deep ocean. The first is
navigation. Whales detect the refection from objects in order to get a sense of
the right direction. The second is feeding. Since whales travel in groups, they
can call on other whales to see if they found any fish.
