1.How can we keep friendship alive.Friendship is absolutely crucial for us. We have to do hard work to build up an d sustain friendship. Here are some important ways to keep friendship alive .Fi rst of all, let your friends know that you care about them. If you can't be th ere at the given moment, say something like, "I wish I could be with you. May I call you tomorrow? " Be sure your friend knows she's cared about. Second, try to be with your friends when they are in trouble. Remember troubled people are most in need of their friends to stay around. The last but not the least, keepi ng friendship alive is to say to your friends "I miss you and I love you ". Rem ember?2.Is it right for college students to have tattoos?Nowadays many college students like to highlight their personalities, to be the ir own. They have taken special ways to show their personalities. For example, some college students who are tattooed think tattooing is cool and shows great personality.But teachers and parents do not think tattooing is right for students. They bel ieve to be a student you should dress like a student--no tattoos, of cause. Som e people even believe that those who are tattooed are not good students.As far as I am concerned, although many people can not accept students’ tattoo ing, nothing is wrong with tattooing. College students are grown-ups. They can tell right from wrong. If they want to be tattooed, just remember to tell them to select clean places, preferably with parental consents.3.What do cultural difference mean ? Can you give some examples?Cultural differences mean differences among people in ways of thinking, life, a esthetic concepts, social practices, diet and etc.Let’s talk about, for example, eating habits in different areas. In Chin a, people prefer vegetables and fruits, for the Chinese believe that such thing s are rich in vc, which are good to health. However, western people are more li kely to eat meat.Known as having a good tradition of hospitality , Chinese people always greet t heir guests with warm hand. Chinese meal table normally is filled with deliciou s food, yet the host is used to saying " I am sorry. I don’t think the food is good enough today" and other courtesies. Host or hostess sometimes use their c hopsticks to take food to the guest’s bowl, which is considered as a way to s how hospitality in China. However, in western countries, people emphasize respe ct to individuality. At dinner, people eat whatever they like or we say they ea t at their own will.4.Do you consider your 18th birthday is one of the most important days in your life? Give reasons.Yes, 18thbirthday is considered the most important. Each birthday means a new year. I a m most concerned about my 18th birthday as it is a sign of adulthood, indicatin g that I am no longer a child, but one who can try to do things independently a nd should be reliable for his or her own actions as an adult. Since my eighteen th birthday, I am entitled to go shopping alone, to travel alone and to live in dependently. I still remembered my 18th birthday. After my birthday celebration , I suddenly felt grown up, both physically and mentally. Birthday to me is an important turning point, enabling me to learn and think independently. So far a s I am concerned about each birthday, I usually feel better.5. Is money the most important thing in your life ? If not, what is it?No, money is not the most important thing in my life. I think the most importa nt thing in life is love. First, everything is born of love. When a child is bo rn, his parents give him or her lots of love in creating a healthy environment for him or her. Secondly, what society needs is also love, if there is no love amongmembers in society, it will become listless apathy. Third, though money can buy something, it can not give or buy love. Love yourself and you get respect from others. Give your love and you create a harmonious surroundings for the societ y. Finally, everyone knows that friendship is built on love instead of money. M oney can’t support ever-lasting friendship.6. In what places has smoking already been banned in China? Are you in favor of this policy or not?Nowadays in China, smoking is banned in many public places, such as cinemas, t hreators , supermarkets, hospitals, meeting rooms and so on.As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in favor of this policy. First of all, smoking is bad for health. And in public places it often leads to second-hand s moking, which is bad for the smoker as well as people around. Second, if you ar e talking with a person while you are smoking, what will happen? He or she will consider the necessity of whether to go on talking or not, because your behavi or shows that you don’t care much about what you are talking. Smoking makes yo u lose friends. Third, smoking costs lots of money, which will result in quarre ls and tight budget at home. That’s not good for building up of a harmonious s ociety. Thus, I am strongly in favor of this policy.7.Why do some young people pick up smoking.Personally, I think there are three reasons for young people picking up smoking . First, they want to follow the trend, to be in the crowd. Most of the young p eople don’t know what they should do. They just do what their peers do. Second , some youths want to show their identity, to attract attention of their peersand their parents, to show that they are not little children any more. They are already in their adulthood. They want to tell their parents they want to do th ings adults do. Third, for some young people, smoking is considered as a way to relax and get rid of bad feelings from work or family. They enjoy the process of smoking. Smoking helps them forget unhappy incidents.8.What problems may people have as they grow old?Have you ever thought what you will look like when you are old? People face mor e and more problem as they grow old, especially old people living in country. In countryside most old people live with their children.Since they do not h ave pension themselves, most of them could not enjoy good health-care and get s ocial welfare. For people living in cities, most of them don't live with their children, they normally live by themselves, feeling lonely as their children ar e busy working. They haven't enough time to take good care of their parents .Th ey visit their parents or Generally speaking, old people, no matter where they live, they are faced with lots of problems .The government and people should he lp them to solve the problems and live a happylife.9. What is addiction? What harm can addiction to internet do to college student s?Addiction, according to a dictionary, means that development of habitual inclin ation. No one knows what causes a person to be addicted to the Internet, but th ere are several factors that have been proposed as contributing to Internet add iction.With the development of computer technology, there is a growing popularity of I nternet surfing on college campus. Many students are addicted to Internet .They spend much time on computer games, chatting with friends, watching movies or s hopping online. Too much time online is not good, even harmful to students’ he alth, which would induce them to spend money that they should spend on food an d less sleep.To solve they problem, students should be cautious in exploring the types of a pplication on Internet. In addition, it is important for students to engage in social activities outside. Finally, mental health workers should investigate wa ys in which to help students get rid of the bad habit of being an addict10 .Which place is better for people to accept education, at home or at schoolI prefer to learn at school. First of all, I think school has learning environ ment. If all the students around you are busy, you could not help joining the g roup. Second, at school , students discuss problems they do not understand and learn from each other. And at school, if I have problems I can not solve I can turn to teachers for help or conduct research in the library. Third, learning at school follows strict schedules, students can learn step by step so that to gain a reasonable understanding of subjects they are supposed to learn. Fourth,There are many peers in school, we will not feel lonely, and learning from eac h other you can improve your interpersonal skills. Last but not the least, acti vities held at school help us develop a sense of self-confidence. All in all, l earning at school is preferrable for me. I like my schoolmates and teachers.11. Are there any episodes in your life thatmake you feel happy and excited , or disappointed and depressed?Everyone expriences so many episodes in one’s life including moments of happiness and excitements, disappointments and depression, so do I. Now I will share one moment of disappointment and depression with you. The story begins li ke this: when I was in Grade 2 in my high school, my teacher asked us to prepar e aspeech about anything that we want to talk about. Although I thought I had prep ared so well, I still felt a bit nervous .And what’s worse ,I decided to add s ome body language to my speech, which I thought would be helfpful. When I got on the platform of the classroom, I started , “You ,you and you, ge t together!” Ok, this is how I started. I thought it must have impressed my cl ass deeply. On the contrary, I heard hundreds of ” oh , no , no” with thousan ds of laughters. And that is really quite bad. I even didn’t know what had hap pened after that. Although I continued the speech, yet, from then on I lost con fidence in my ability of speech. How I felt disappointed and depressed in front of all my classmates!12. What is more important , economic growth or the environment? Why?Some people believe that economic growth should never be at the cost of t he environment. They think serious environmental problems nowadays are largely caused by rapid economic growth . For example, deserts are spreading, because o f over grazing, poor farming and tree cutting. Our air and water supplies are a lso being polluted by poisonous gases and waste.However, other people think it unnecessary to take environmental problems now into serious consideration, for our priority should go to economic growth. They believe that environmental problems are unavoidable in the process of eco nomic growth. They are the by-products of economic growth, which can be dealt w ith later.I think the second idea is completely wrong. We should keep a balance be tween the two and look forward to rapid and continuous growth in economy and a healthy environment as well.13．Your ideas on college student’s pursuing fashionNowadays, an increasing number of college students are pursuing fashion, whic h has aroused a great concern in society. Some, even at the beginning of their college life, begin to make every effort to buy a variety of famous-brand products, such as clothing, computers, cellphones, MP3s and so on. Some take part in different kinds of popular entertainment, for example, birthday party, playing tennis and singing in KTV.Following fashion has had a great impact on college students. First of all, pursuit of fashion is a costly hobby, which will impose great financial burden on their parents. In addtion, it is possible for college students to get lost i n following the tide. Some of them even fail to focus on their study. Last but not the least, as the future leading consumers, some students pay more attentio n to enjoying fashion.As far as I am concerned, college students should cherish ambitions rath er than become slaves to fashion, as our main task on campus is not to pursue f ashion but study. All in all, college students should adopt a more reasonable a ttitude towards fashion.14.How can we prepare for earthquakes?Make sure shelves are fastened（使固定） securely to the walls. Place large, heavy objects on lower shelves （架子）or on the floor. They might fall. You can also screw them onto things, such as desks. Place breakable items (bottles, glass, china, etc.) in closed cabinets that have latches. Make sure to board them up so that the cabinet doors won't f ly open. Heavy pictures （绘画作品）and mirrors should be hung away from beds, couches, and anywhere that someone m ight sit. Overhead light fixture ['fikstʃə]. 固定装置 should be braced braced [breist] to prevent falling. Evaluate your electrica l wiring and gas connections and repair if needed. During an earthquake, these can become potential fire hazards. Additionally, turn them off and unplug them, so the outlet is not neat the metal part of the cord. Secure your water heater by strapping it to wall studs (not just the drywall) and bolting it to the flo or. If you have any deep cracks in the ceiling or foundations, repair these imm ediately. You might need to consult an expert if there are signs of structural weakness. Store flammable products in closed cabinets with latches on the botto m shelf15. Talk about one of the world-famous people that you consider you role model.15. Talk about one of the world-famous people that you consider you role model.When talking about role model,you may think of the stars, like Liu Dehua,Cheng Long or even Yao Ming and LiXiang.But my role model is quite different from the m. It's Lei Feng.In China, everybody knows about Lei Fei. He was a soldier in the army an d was always ready to help others. He was a great man with good qualitie. He ca red much more about others than himself. He helped his colleagues with their wo rk, helped the grannies to carry their children. He kept a diary. In it he wrote: "Man's life is limited, but serving people is unlimited.I should devote my l imited life to the serving of people".Unfortunately , he died at work when he was still young. But his spirit has influenced many people, especially teenagers. People throughout China learnt f rom him .They do as Lei Feng did, helping and caring for others.The slogan “ L et Lei Feng be our example” has been in our mind for years. We know our societ y needs such a spirit and thousands of millions of Lei Feng.Though Lei Feng passed away for many years, his spirits are still alive . He made me know that helping and caring others is of great importance . I sho uld learn from him and show my love and care to the people in need.16.Your ideas on the legal or moral implications of cloning for human society .My point of view on cloning is that it is like a double-edged sword. Either on the legal or on the moral implications, cloning is a controversial topic. I pe rsonally hold the idea that it is illegal and not morallly right to clone peopl e. When it is necessary to clone parts of organs for medical treatments, clonin g isobviously a wise way. In that case, cloning makes human's life much better and happier. In addition，cloning can help people avoid genetic illnesses, which helps improve people’s life span. All in all，I'm in flavor of cloning only for its good effect of helping people live a long er and happier life.17. Whom do you turn to for help when you have problems ? and why?When I have a difficulties and when I think of people to turn to for help, it i s my parents I turn to for help. They would always be considerate and come to m y support.Sometimes we may feel grown up and no longer need to parents’ help. But when w e meet difficulties and come down in the world, we get to know that many people help us on purpose.They help you and want something from you. But we get to kn ow that only our parents can share endless love to us. Although sometimes we do something wrong and may hurt them, they would not abandon us and help us to so lve our problems by doing their best. When I feel sad, going home is my first c hoice. When I hear the voice of my parents I feel relieved and wanted to embrac e them. They are always my back bone. l thank them and love them more than ever .18. What makes you feel stressed? How to deal with it?Yeah， there are so many things that may make us feel stressed. For example,wh en I’m in a hurry for tests, I may feel stressed, as there are so much work I shoulddo and I have no time to have a break. The feelings make me think that everyth ing is disgusting. So how to deal with it ? I will say it’s easy . As everyone knows that music is the best cure in the world, especially for bad mood. Somet imes, when I feel stressed, I may listen to music or go and play basketball. It ’s a good way for me to get relaxed and to forget some misfortune or disgustin g things. After that, I become energetic and active again.19. Should the use of disposable of plastic bags be banned？Give reasons.I think the use of disposable of plastic bags should be banned. A plastic bag c ontains 16 elements of poisons and a lots of bacteria and carcinogen. It is har mful to human body, and it leads to serious environmental pollution. Forthemore , it will take two hundred years to get rotten, without being digested during t he time. Plastic bags endanger animals and human beings as well. So we should t ry to regulate policies to ban the use of plastic bags and cleanse them out of our life completely. Only in this way can we reconstruct a healthy society for us and for our decedents.20. Reading and traveling, which do you think helps more to broaden people’s m ind?There are lots of ways to broaden people’s minds, such as traveling, reading a nd surfing on the internetMy favorite way to broaden my mind is traveling. Traveling can not only broa den my mind, but also open my eyes to the world. What's more, it refreshes me. By travelling, you can go to Disneyland and experience being “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Can yon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste “magical” ice water fr om a glacier, which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer . Travelling can also help forget all the sadness and troubles that you have en countered. Since experience is a kind of living knowledge, by travelling, you'l l be sure to experience many new things. Remember to take your backpack with yo u when you travel!21. Your ideas on the prevalence of western food.In recent years, western fast food rushes into China, and Chinese young people are fond of it, especially children and teenagers.To begin with, western food, especially fast food is convenient. Since life pac e moves very fast these days, people don’t like to waste their time on three meals. So going to a fast food restaurant i s often thefirst choice to many people. Fast food, as it is called, will be ready in a min ute. Moreover, excellent service and comfortable environment of the fast food r estaurants also count for its popularityHowever, I don’t life fast food because it doesn't provide a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. I don’t think it is good for our health.22. What do you know about Charlie Chaplin, one of the greatest comedians of al l time?Charlie Chaplin was born in a poor area of south London on 16 April, 1889 . He was one of the greatest film actors of all time. From The Tramp to Modern Times, he made many funniest and most popular films of his time. He was best kn own for his character the youthful and lovable Little Tramp. Chaplin succeeded in his career, but his early marriages were not successful at all.Chaplin died on Christmas Day 1977. He left behind family and friends sadd ened by his death, and millions of fans worldwide. Chaplin had greatly influenc ed everyone's life in the early 20th century. He made more people laugh than an y other man who ever lived and changed the way people looked at the world. 23.

Fisrt of all we would say that advantages of Internet helps a lot in our life. Let’s take, for example, talking on internet is probably the most efficient way of communication, which can help avoid embarrassment. When people talk to to each other they may encounter problems.However, in internet, without seeing each other, they can express themselves freely in communication without feeling embarrssed. Second, rapid development of the Internet provides much more information than we everfirst choice to many people. Fast food, as it is called, will be ready in a min ute. Moreover, excellent service and comfortable environment of the fast food r estaurants also count for its popularityHowever, I don’t life fast food because it doesn't provide a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. I don’t think it is good for our health.24.How to balance part-time job and school work .A considerable part of campus students choose to participate in various type s of part-time jobs after school. To some people, it is good for students to us e their spare time to do part-time jobs, to earn some living expenses and at th e same time learn some social experiences.But the problem is how students coordinate the work and learning? I think, firs t of all,studentsshould try to make a good schedule of their time so as not to affect their stud y. Second, some people worry that part-time jobs will take too much of students ’ time, affecting students’ academic achievements. The answer is if students can arrange their time well , they will find enough time studying and working. It all depends on students. Keeping good balance between learning and doing par t time job is necessary and essential to those who want to take part-time jobs.25.How important is reading in English for us Chinese wholearn English as a foreign languageEnglish is an international language in the world. It helps people of different cultures to get to know each other. As we Chinese, it is important to learn En glish well. Reading a lot in English is one of the most effective ways to help us learn English well.Reading in English is good for English comprehension, listening, speaking and w riting as well. It is an effective way to improve our English. Reading in Engli sh can help us learn new words and ways of their usage. Besides, by reading we can learn much about other cultures and people so that we can iprove our commun ication skills, when working with foreigners who are from English speaking coun tries. Furthermore, experience from extensive reading plays an important role i n promoting language ability and development cross culture capability.26. Your opinions on the saying :Where there is a will, there is a way .We all know a famous saying ,"Where there is a will, there is a way." I think i t is true, and it is surely a motto. If you put a goal in your life, and work h ard to achieve it, you'll find you can get a success. Just like Yu Gong in Chin ese ancient story. He set a goal to move the mountain in front of his house. It seemed impossible for other people at first. But he tried and he was successfu l. The story inspires everyone of us. We should have a will and set a goal, and then find a way to success.A student who has no resolution will never succeed in his studies. We should be self-confident and believe that we can success, if we have a strong will. Ed ison invented electric light due to his strong will to explore science. Tagore became a famous poet out of his will to write beautiful poems. Everyone ought t o have a will and spare no effort to achieve your target. Success won't be far from you. The same is true of men in all walks of life. We must always remember the old saying :“where there is a will there is a way”.27. School library or internet café, which do you prefer when in search of info rmation? Give reasons.Along with the rapid development of society, there are many ways available to f ind information, such as school library or internet café and etc. My favorite w ay is to go to Internet café. First of all, it is very convenient to surf for w hatever I want. I can just click the button, then I get the materials. Second, as we all know that Internet is rich in information. We can find lots of rele vant information for a study project. Thirdly, searching on Internet won’t tak e too much time. Sometimes it will only take a few minutes to find information. Anyhow, their are more advantages than what I have mentioned. I like to surf o n Internet to help my study.28. Do you often write to or call your parents What do you usually tell them on the phone or in your letters?I often call my parents when I am homesick or have troubles in my university li fe. I often call my parents on Sunday morning.Over the phone, I normal would ask them to take care of themselves, eat heal thy food and pay attention to the changeable weather or dress properly.Sometime s, I tell them some interesting things about my classmates and what I learned in the week. By informing them what I am doing, I wish to relieve them from war rying about me. I hope to hear their laughter, which is a consolation to me. No w, I've got into a habit of calling my parents every week.29. What's courage? Give an example of an act of courage.Courage means dare to say or do what you think is right, even though other peop le may not agree or approve. Courage is the quality of bravery when you are in danger, in pain, or in difficult situations. There are kinds of examples of act of courage. For instance, in 2009, in order to save a drowning boy, three univ ersity students lost their lives. The moment they jumped into the river to save the child in danger, they cared not about the danger ahead or even their own l ives. This is the greatest courage I admire and should learn from.30. Do you like to see English movies?I enjoy seeing English movies. First of all, seeing English movies is a good wa y to learn English. We can learn English form dialogues in movies to help prove both listening and speaking.Secondly, by seeing English movies we can learn cultures of English-spoken co untries, understand how people think and behavior in circumstances different fr om ours. In this way, we enrich our knowledge and widen our horizon of other pe ople and land. Thirdly, English movies do not noly entertain people but also le ave something for us to think about. Take“2012” as an example: “What if the phenomena on the screen come ture?” is a real question to every body. After seeing these movies, many people really begin to think about serious environmen tal problems. Above all, seeing English movies helps both learning and understa nding. I like seeing English movies.。
