iBT 80

1.
The most useful book for me is the English dictionary. First, many English words
have more than one meaning and always confuse me. The dictionary can help me get
over by offering many detailed explanations and examples. In addition, I can also
learn how to apply the new words into writing and speaking by studying the examples
earnestly. Furthermore, I can learn a lot of knowledge beside new words. For
example,
it is very likely that a good dictionary illustrate a specific animal or plant with a
picture. Thus, we get more information out of the dictionary.
2.
In my view, television has a positive effect for modern society. First, it offers us an
efficient and convenient way to get the latest news. You can directly see what has
happened around the entire world just in your home. In addition, television also has
brought us a visual enjoyment and broadened our knowledge by different types of
programs. Furthermore, television can release job seeking pressure at some extent, by
providing a job chance for people who are willing to be engaged in related career.
3. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life.
The most important decision I have ever made is, when I was 19 years old, I chose
medicine as my major in college. It is of great importance because it determines what
I will learn and what I will do the next four years. In addition, my parents are both
doctors and they hope I, as their son, could pursue the same career. And to be a doctor
is my dream when I was still a little boy. So the decision not only satisfies the wish of
my parents but also provides an opportunity for me to realize my dream. Furthermore,
because I entered the medical school, I will become a doctor, a career which gives me
fulfillment and happiness everyday after my patients healing. Therefore, studying
medicine is a wise decision in my life.
4. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science?
I agree with the statement that music and art classes should be offered in high school.
First, because there may be a group of students who are interested in this area and
plan to choose either of them as their future career. In addition, music and art can help
the students appreciate the beauty in their lives and that will also increase the
efficiency of their regular studies. Furthermore, I also think music and art education
can develop creativity and personality, such as spirit of diligence and perseverance,
which will benefit their future careers. If some people think music education
unnecessary, all I can say is that they are closing the door on opportunity of living a
more beautiful life.
5. ?
In my spare time I often visit a small town in Shenyang. First, it has a very mysterious
mountain perhaps with a panoramic view over a river or the lights of the town. You
know, we just sat on the top of the mountain quietly and dwarfed by the stunning
beauty of setting sun. In addition, it has a very exotic restaurant where we would
choose our favorite dishes. We would have some very mellow, warming red wine in
sparkling glasses twinkling in the candlelight, the hues and aroma filling our senses.

Furthermore, it always reminds me of some friends in this town. One of them gave me
a book as a gift. I cherish the book just as much as I cherish our friendship.
6.
I think its necessary to forbid using mobile phone in some cases. First, take the class
as an example, the students who take a cell phone with them often cannot concentrate
themselves on what the teacher is speaking in class. Some of them focus on the calls
or messages from their friends instead of on studying. (Although you may turn your
mobile phone into the mute mode, it will distract you from classes thus reduce your
study efficiency.) In addition, sometimes its impolite to use a mobile phone in some
public occasions such as important conferences. Furthermore, the microwave
radiation of a mobile phone will disturb the normal operating of special machines in
some places such as hospital and laboratory. So forbidding using a mobile phone in
some cases is good for you as well as the people surrounding you.
7. celebration moment
The most memorable moment is the graduation dinner party with all my classmates. It
was such a special day that full of happiness and sorrow. We had studied and lived for
4 years and then we had to say goodbye to our friends. I will never forget the day we
tearfully embraced each other. We would go to different places of China and even the
world, so we gave best wishes to our dear friends. That day is special, because the day
means the end of one part of our lives and embarks on our promising future.
8. Which one acts more influence on you newspaper, TV or teachers?
I definitely think it is TV that influences me most among the three. For one thing it is
very convenient to obtain the latest information from TV. Once you possess a TV set,
you can simply turn it on whenever you want to get the information you need. If you
want to know the news from other parts of the world, all you need to do is to turn to
the world news channel. Also, TV can report the latest or even live events. When the
29th Olympic Games took place in Beijing, I was able to see the events at the same
time as people in Beijing, even without being there. However, newspapers and
teachers cant provide things like that.
9. Describe a social or politics celebration events in your culture.
Speaking of social celebration in my culture, there is one day of the year that is
second to none, the Chinese New Year, which is also called the Spring Festival by
most Chinese People. Even if you are indifferent with festive events, you can not
resist the charm of a family reunion dinner which marks the defining feature of the
Spring Festival. And during the dinner, family members make toasts for each other in
order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year.
10.
I definitely agree with the statement that government should help in building artistic
places such as museums and theatres. For one thing, these types of places are
excellent for promoting appreciating for art. It can help us to regain the passion for
beauty and depth in life, which is much better than being an internet addict or a couch
potato. In addition, visiting museums and theatres will help understand much better in
history and art, which will in turn benefit enhancing peoples culture. So I support
government invest money to build more museums and theatres.

11.
As a college student, I think library is one of my favorite public areas. First, there are
not only many reference books related to my courses, but also a number of novels,
magazines and newspapers which I like to read in my spare time. Especially the
national geographic interests me much and it is also a chief reason why I go to the
library frequently. In addition, I often study in the library after classes. You know,
atmosphere is really crucial for study. If others are all focusing their attention on their
reading, I would not be distracted by trifles. However, studying in the dorm, I am
always absentminded.
12.
In my spare time, Id love to go to the seashore near my city with my friends. The sky
is blue and always full of sunshine there. It is our favorite place to swim and bask
where we can enjoy the bright sunshine on the beautiful beach. In addition, we can
taste all kinds of fresh and delicious seafood in the restaurants by the seashore.
Furthermore, my friends and I often swim or play some games, such as beach
volleyball and I feel happy and relax. Thats why I like to go to seashore with my
friends.
13.
I prefer eating at home to dining out for many reasons. For one thing, its much
cheaper to eat at home. For a student like me, it can easily cause budget tension by
frequently eating out. In addition, I can prepare the food just the way I like.
Sometimes it will be a fun to experiment on different kinds of food and a creative
process that can provide me a feeling of satisfaction. So I like eating at home and I
seldom eating out unless for special occasions.
14. park public area
I usually go to Beihai Park when I am free. I can go for a stroll in the park to relax.
The park has some trees, and interesting and winding paths, where I can wander and
contemplate my own thoughts or admire the various stages of nature. Sometimes I just
like to feel the breeze on my face and savor its coolness. It gives me a sense of
freedom. In addition, it also has a lake on which I can go boating. In the lake, there
are a lot of fish, which can satisfy my interest in fishing. I often go to the park with
my friends on weekends. And we'll have a picnic if we stay there for the whole day.
15.
I prefer studying in a big city. First of all, the universities in a big city have more
teaching resources and better available facilities, since they may receive more
recognition by government. In addition, in a big city, I have more opportunities to
broaden my view as the newest things often emerge first in big cities rather than in
small town. Furthermore, any reason why I prefer a big city even though the
university doesnt interest much is that I can get more chances for career and study
development. This is crucial for college students. So Id like to locate my study area
in a big city.
16. ,,,
Facing such choices, I prefer the novels for several reasons. First, novels are usually
interesting and absorbing. There are several figures with identifiable personality and

sophisticated plot full of adventure and watershed. I often lose myself in the story and
cry or smile following the characters. In addition, good novels will often be adapted
for films. Brave Heart is one of my favorite adaptations. So I can appreciate the novel
in many different angles and well understand the writers intention.
17.
I prefer to live with others. First, living with someone else wont make you feel alone,
its a good way to make friends by sharing experience, opinions and feelings with
your roommates. In addition, take me as an example, I once get a fever at night, my
roommates heard me cough, and then sent me to the health center immediately. I
couldnt imagine how serious the result will be if I live alone. Furthermore, living
with others helps in teaching you how to get along with different groups of people and
how to care and offer helps to others, which will benefit your communication skills.
So Id like someone to live with me.
18. restaurantcaf
I definitely prefer to eat out in a restaurant when Im together with my friends. First,
as both of my parents have retired from work, they stay at home all day long. So it
will not be convenient for we friends have a close chat including some secrets of us at
home. In addition, we are usually exhausted after a whole days work and just want to
find something as soon as possible. Eating out at restaurant or caf means we do not
have to care about shopping, cooking, or cleaning up. We can finish our dinner within
an hour and enjoy the rest of the evening.
19. Computer has improved our lives while others think computers have caused
problems.
Well, in my opinion, I think computer does have more positive effects towards our
lives than its negative sides. First, we can keep in touch more closely with the help of
computer. For example, by using Emails or MSN, I can live messages to my friends in
the United States anytime. But before computer was invented, one has to wait nearly
several months to get a letter or just a short message from friends abroad. In addition,
I can use a computer to get an assignment done in a few hours otherwise will take me
several days. Furthermore, computer also provides a lot of good ways, such as surfing
on the internet, watching films to relax ourselves. So I believe computer have
improved our lives.
20. character
A good teacher should bear many excellent qualities. First, a teacher should have
outstanding teaching ability and an open mind. In other words, its important to be
good at encouraging students and be willing to learn and accept new things. In
addition, a teacher is supposed to be patient and sincere to all the students even
though they make mistakes in class. Furthermore, a teacher should also be an honest
and humble person, who opens heart to surrounding people and never refuses to
acknowledge his shortcomings, even to his students.
21.
I prefer to work in an office. First, although working at home may be comfortable, its
difficult for me to be fully-devoted to work. Maybe Ill want to watch TV, surf the
Internet or even want to have a sleep during the work time. So it isnt efficient to

work at home. In addition, its more convenient to communicate with your co-workers
or boss when you work in an office, thus you can get the assignment more directly
and solve problems by negotiating with other employees, which helps you do better
and learn faster. Furthermore, I can make a lot of friends who can bring me joy
working in an office.
22.
My father is my idol for several reasons. First, he is so versatile that he can play table
tennis, play the piano and also the Chinese fiddle called Er Hu in China. Every night
after dinner, the lyrical and enchanting melody flows out of my home. In addition, he
also has a positive attitude toward everything. When I am frustrated, he always told
me keep on doing it! I am sure you can. So now when facing difficulties, I no
longer chicken out or shed tears. I know I should enjoy the challenges and keep on
moving with big smile just as my father does.
23.
In my opinion, higher education should be available only to part of the students. First,
take me as an example, now I am a graduate in a university in China. Before I entered
the university, my friends failed the examination and had no chance to get higher
education. So it is the fact: not everyone has access to the higher education. I think the
chief reason is that the government and university could not afford all students. There
are many aspects should be taken into consideration such as economic, political
factors. In addition, only opening to part of the students will increase the efficiency of
the higher education. The results are quite different for students between studying in a
crowded class and in a smaller discussion class.
24. Whether parents should lead their children to watch TV or the children should
choose.
I think parents should lead their children to watch TV. First of all, children are not
mature enough to realize which TV programs are suit for them. Without a proper
guide, children may have been misled by some unhealthy TV programs which are
centered on violence and pornography. In addition, parents play an important role in
helping children distinguish true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugly by
comparing the situation in TV programs and reality. Furthermore, parents are also
responsible for preventing children from being obsessed in watching TV. So I agree
with the statement that parents should be able to lead their children to watch TV.
25. The most efficient transportation in your country.
The most efficient transportation in our country is subway. First of all, it can be free
of traffic problems and many other factors that may influence the normal operation of
transportation. In addition, it runs much faster than bus or automobiles even in rush
hours and will never stop for a traffic jam. Furthermore, the subway trains come
frequently and punctually, thus make it easier for passengers to make schedule. All
these advantages make subway the most efficient transportation.
26. 100 important invention
The most important invention in the recent century would definitely be the internet,
which has changed our life so tremendously. First of all, it makes the worldwide
connection possible so that it can help human beings to work much more conveniently

and efficiently. In addition, it has greatly promoted the development of science and
technology by a number of websites and databases of information. Furthermore, it can
provide people with entertainment, such as watching movie, chatting room and even
shopping. So the internet is really an amazing invention.
27. attend college college successful in career ,why?
I definitely agree with statement that attending college will make one more successful
in career. First, attending college means you can get well-educated in a certain area.
And the education will make you fully prepared for your future career. In addition,
when you graduate from the college, you can receive a degree, which is very
important to get a decent pay. Even if you are over qualified for your job position, the
boss has a good reason to give you a relatively low salary because you do not have a
certification from college.
28. Characteristics of friends.
Good friends should bear several qualities. First of all, a friend indeed is a friend in
need. A good friend should be willing to help me when I am in trouble, comfort me
when I am frustrated. In addition, good friends should also be honest people, who can
open heart to others and never refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings.
Furthermore,
I hope my friends have a sense of humor. Talking with a humorous person, I will feel
happy and forget the sad things when I am in a bad mood. So I think friends like this
deserve to be credited as the good ones.
29. Someone suggests school to cut the Recycling.
I tend to disagree with cutting the recycling in school. First, recycling can remind
students of the importance of environmental protection. With a recycling system,
students will discard garbage into the special recycling garbage boxes instead of
throw them away randomly in campus. In addition, school can employ workers to
deal with the garbage regularly, it can also provide a job chance for people with
low-income. Furthermore, the money saved by recycling can be used as the
renovation of basic facilities. So, I support that the recycling in school should
continue.
30. leader follower
Of course, I would like to be the leader. I think I am a born leader for the following
reasons. First I am good at communicating with others. That is very important when
leading a team with many complexities and issues. With my splendid communication
skills, I can make the atmosphere among my team members very harmonious. In
addition, I do not like to be regulated by others, so the only way to get rid of this
status is to be the leader and regulate others myself. Furthermore, what a leader does
is often challenging. Nothing can give me greater satisfaction after I get a job well
done.
31. Which one do you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books?
In my opinion, it is Internet that helps us more while doing research. First, it could
help us save a lot of time by using Internet. For example, with a click on the button of
your mouse, we can get maybe ten thousand pages of useful information from the
search engine Google. The click takes you only a split of second. But if we want to

get the same amount of information by reading academic books, I bet it will take us at
least several months. In addition, the information on the internet is almost infinite. So
we could find anything we need. Furthermore, books need adequate spaces to be kept
and are very heavy to take them with us. Meanwhile, the computer saves a lot of
space and is very light compared to the books.
32.
I think people nowadays are influenced more by the media such as TV, newspapers
and radio rather than their family or friends. For one thing, people are exposed to
information from media much more than they spend time with family or friends. It is
inevitable for one to absorb things from them and change a previous perception. In
addition, modern people are more and more independent. They are not easy to be
affected by another person. But they might believe what on the media, because these
are more factual things. So I think the media influence people more than their
relatives and friends.
33.
I have been dreaming to be a coach, a surfing coach. Since I watched the movie-surf
up, such beautiful view and so many super surfers impressed me deeply. It was an
awesome sight. At first, I could not believe my eyes. Those surfers seem to walk or
even fly on the sea surface and battle the billow with great courage. I admire them so
much and expect to surf on the sea myself. If I really get a chance to choose any job I
like, I would practice my skill and try to be a surfing coach. Then I could surf on the
sea anytime.
34. Take a long vacation or several short vacations in a year?
I support the idea of students having several short vacations throughout a year. First,
short vacations are a great relaxation after busy final exams. We can stay at home
with family, visit friends, go to concerts and do many other things besides classes. In
addition, students wouldnt forget what they have learned and will be more focused
on their classes when they return to school, if their vacation time is divided up
throughout the year. Furthermore, I also think short vacations are safe for students
who have a travel plan. So I find many advantages of short vacations compared with a
longer one.
35. What do you think are the characteristics of a good parent?
Well, in my opinion, a good parent should be well-educated, patient and humorous.
Its said that parents are the first and most important teacher for children. So a parent
should be well-educated, otherwise, how could he/she deal with the tutoring? In
addition, everybody knows that to feed a baby is a time-consuming work. It needs
great patience. If they are not patient enough, the baby would hurt itself, for example,
leaving a scar in forehead. That will be a disaster for him when he grows up.
Furthermore, parents with a sense of humor will make the children happy and benefit
for the construction of their good characters.
36. Do you prefer to study alone on work assignment from class or to study in group?
I prefer to study in a group. First, its inevitable for each of us to encounter problems
when we study on work assignment. At this time, group discussions will be very
helpful because we can share our knowledge and learn a lot from others. In addition,

group members will help you to find out and overcome your shortcomings.
Furthermore, group study is also a chance to communicate with others and exercise
how to express ourselves. So I prefer to study in a group.
37.
To tell you the truth, my aim is to be a journalist as my future career. You know
what?
First, I have dreamed to be a journalist since I was still in middle school. Journalists
never tell lies, and always seek for truth. I want to be a man like that. In addition, I
often feel shy when I am talking to others, and as I know journalists are all good at
communicating, because good communication skill is very important while theyre
doing interviews. I want to possess this kind of skill. Furthermore, journalists often
visit different places. That means, I can have nice view to see, nice people to meet and
nice food to eat, which all are my favorite. So thats why I want to be a journalist as
an ideal career.
38. challenging experiencechallenge
In my memories, the most challenging experience is to prepare Graduate Record
Examination as known as GRE. I face two big problems: short time to prepare and
limited vocabulary. So I made a plan first and bought enough food for myself. Then in
the next month, I just carried out the plan, staying in the dorm. Every morning I got
up earlier than my roommates and began to read the obscure, verbose and academic
passages. That is really frustrating and stressful. However, now when I look back, it is
a memorable meltdown but at the same time a galloping promotion in English. When
finishing the test, I could read newspapers or academic magazines without any barrier.
39.
I agree with that one should choose a major that suits his/her interests. First of all, if
you force yourself learn something you dont like, then you cant be fully devoted to
learn it well and may even feel boring. As a result, it will low your study efficiency
and cant prepare you very well for future development. Furthermore, the demand of
job market definitely changes more frequently than your interests do. You may find a
job popular after you graduate, although it may receive poor recognition by the
society when you entered college. So its wise to choose a major you are interested in.
40. ,:Comedy, drama
I prefer watching a film of comedy. First, the comedy film is suitable for almost all
ages, so I can see it with my friends and parents. In addition, it can give me a break
from tedious work. I dont need to think much about the deep meaning and how the
film will continue, because its not as serious as drama. Furthermore, it can always
make me laugh and get rid of my sorrow and empower me with good mood and
energy for future work. All I need is to lean back and enjoy the shows. So Id like to
watch a comedy.
41. What will you do to relax yourself?
Personally, I believe that physical exercise is an excellent way for me to relax. First,
physical exercise usually involves games such as basketball, volleyball, or football.
All of these sports teach students how to work together to achieve a common goal, or
success. Such activities not only provide an access for students to getting a break from

academics, but also teach students a lot which cannot obtain in class. In addition, I can
meet and make some friends who have the similar interest. I am happy to talk with
them. So I think it is a good way for me to relax.
42. Is it important for students to attend class regularly or study by oneself?
I think its more important for students to study by themselves. First, studying by
oneself, you can find a quiet place such as library to study. This can make you
concentrate more on the assignment. In addition, classes given by teachers are
designed for most of the students. You may find you are not getting enough from the
classes or you cant catch up with the classes. In such a case, studying by oneself is
crucial to improve your learning efficiency. Furthermore, studying by oneself will
help you to find out your weak points as well as what you are good at, which is
benefit to you to make schedule and formulate your study plans. So I hold that study
by oneself is more important.
43. Describe an enjoyable event in your childhood.
When I was a child, I used to play table tennis. I think it is enjoyable for several
reasons. First, the original keenness, I think, derives from Deng Yaping, the world
famous table tennis player. I admired her so much and decided to play it. In addition,
playing table tennis not only builds up a strong body, but also forges a brave heart for
myself. To play it, I have to take exercises and attend training classes. Such activities
really strengthened my body. Even in flu season, I need not to worry. Furthermore,
playing table tennis provides an access for me to making new friends. Until now, we
often go to play table tennis together when we are free.
44.
I like my university, Northeastern University, which locates the center area of
Shenyang. First, we have dormitories, teaching buildings and refectories named by
number and research buildings named by subject. So you can easily find a specific
spot. There is also a large playground and gym with a number of exercise facilities. In
addition, it has beautiful scenery in the campus, and there are lots of trees, flowers and
grasses, so you can enjoy the fresh air and the euphonic birds singing in the morning.
Furthermore, it has the best faculty. The professors there strongly impress me because
of giving charming speech and interesting illustrations to help us understand difficult
terms.
45. Sport courses?
No one could deny the fact that the most important responsibility of a university is to
help its students develop their academic abilities. And being healthy is the
prerequisite for students to achieve their academic goals. First, encouraging students
to get more physical activities at least a few times a week is the best way to ensure
their health for life. In addition, doing sports is a good way to relax for students after a
hard days work with lab research or papers. That will help increase the efficiency of
their study. Furthermore, physical exercise usually involves games such as basketball,
volleyball or football. All of these sports teach students how to work together to
achieve a common goal or success. So it should definitely be a part, an indispensable
part of students education.
46. What do you miss most when you are away from home?

Surely it is meals that I miss the most, especially the meals my mother cook. Studying
in the university which is 1000 miles away from my born city of Anshanthe dishes in
school's cafeteria is awful, and I become 3 kilograms thinner than I was in the high
school. So I miss the food my mother cooks for me. Her special is Gong Bao Ji Ding
as known as Gong Bao chicken, a famous traditional Chinese dish. I like it so much
that every talk with my mother includes it. I always tell her: my stomach protests
again and it misses Gong Bao Ji Ding so much. So if I leave home for a period of
time,
I miss the meal my mother cook most.
47.

I definitely agree that one should observe before helping others when there is a
danger.
First, you must keep a clear mind if you are able to help to solve the emergency,
otherwise you may do nothing but even put yourself in danger. For example, if the
rescue needs more people or other tools, you should stop and think about where to get
them. In addition, some imprudent actions may even deteriorate the situation. If you
move a patient with heart attacking frequently, it can even cause death. So I think one
should observe before helping others.
48. Describe a special opportunity given to you.
It has been many years since then, I will never forget the special opportunity I was
given. It was a rainy afternoon; while I was watching TV in my dorm room, I received
a phone call. A friend of mine asked me over the phone if I was still looking for a job.
I replied yes. He then told me that his friend, an owner of a closing company, had read
my resume on the internet and could provide me a job as a managers secretary in
their company with a salary of 3000 Yuan per month. I was really surprised by that.
49. good leader qualities
In my opinion, a good leader should be honest and think critically. These qualities
ensure him gain more respect and support from others. For example, a leader without
honesty will not be responsible for what he said or what he did, then why should
people waste time following him? In addition, only through thinking critically can the
leader be able to analyze problems insightfully. In the long run, these qualities will
contribute to a bigger success and more effective leadership. Obviously, if a leader is
dishonest or making decision perfunctorily, he will not stay long in his position.
50. People should always tell the truth.
I dont agree with the statement that people should always tell the truth, because
sometimes lying doesnt definitely mean to harm others and is even necessary. For
example, if you are taking care of a patient suffering from serious illness, its
important to give the patient hope. In such a case, in order to help the patient to
release psychological pressure, modest lying which will give the patient confidence to
accept the treatments is useful. Another example is in business or politics, people
always adopt acceptable lies as negotiation strategy to win more benefits for their own
side. On the contrary, telling truth will betray some secrets to the opponents. So not
always telling the truth is ok and sometimes helpful.

51. Describe an object which is very important to you.

Surely it is my computer. After the fierce National Entrance Examination, my mother
bought a computer as a gift for me. First, my major is electrical engineering which is
based on computer. So it is of great assistance to me and almost my only anchor. I use
it to design circuit boards and program. Without it, I can do nothing but change the
major or even drop out of school. Thanks to the present, I could continue my studies
and excel in school. In addition, if running into problems, I could google them or
communicate with net-friends using my computer. Furthermore it can provide me
with entertainment, such as watching movies, chatting room and even shopping. It can
save me a lot of time and money shopping on line.
52. Do you agree that we can judge a person by the appearance at the first glance?
As for me, I dont think the first impression is reliable. There are several reasons. First
of all, peoples characters are different and complex. Its very hard to get to know
them at the first meeting. To know a person, it is necessary to spend a long time to
talk with him, and observe his behaviors at different occasions. In addition,
appearance lies, it may trick you. A person who dress decently and talk sincerely
doesnt imply hes definitely guiltless and kindly. And many people do not behave
naturally when they meet strangers. Sometimes they will hide their shortcomings and
sometimes they perform worse because of the jitter. So the first meet will not be a
good chance to know a person. .
53. job or career?
I will definitely choose a career. To me, a job is just a temporary work. In the
beginning, I may feel its new and interesting. I can make new friends and learn quite
a lot of things from it. However, as time goes by, once I find myself stuck in a job
which does not interest me any more, my career on this job will end. Choosing a
career is different. Career means that something you want to build on your interest.
By choosing a career, I think I will be fascinated and excited about my work. It is a
great feeling to see my long-term effort paying me off in the future. That means a
career not only gives me a job, but also the personal satisfaction as well.
54. practice thing or happy thing?
If I have a great amount of money, I prefer to do some practical things. For example,
maybe Ill donate the extra money to charitable foundation in order to help the poor.
Ill be glad to see them happy. In addition, I also want to fulfill my parents dream or
employ the best family nursing and healthy instruction. They have been always
working hard for me and its a good chance to pay back them if I have enough money.
So Im glad to do more practical things with a plenty of money rather than just for
fun.
55.
Students might have many choices to spend a vacation as long as they can make the
vacation time interesting and helpful. For example, they could visit their families or
friends, go to concerts or do many other things for relaxation. In addition, they could
also plan a trip to somewhere they are longing for, which will help to broaden their
view and knowledge. Furthermore, they could also choose to have a vacation
internship, and the experience will increase their income as well as make them

familiar with the society. So there is never lack of choices.

56. happy eventexplain why it is memorable
When I was a child, I used to play table tennis. I think it is enjoyable for several
reasons. First, the original keenness, I think, derives from Deng Yaping, the world
famous table tennis player. I admired her so much and decided to play it. In addition,
playing table tennis not only builds up a strong body, but also forges a brave heart for
myself. To play it, I have to take exercises and attend training classes. Such activities
really strengthened my body. Even in flu season, I need not to worry. Furthermore,
playing table tennis provides an access for me to making new friends. Until now, we
often go to play table tennis together when we are free.
57. Communicate with your family and friends by letter and e-mail or by telephone?
Some people prefer the traditional communication with their family and friends like
writing letters, while others would choose the modern way such as email or telephone.
In my opinion, talking on the phone is direct and fast. I usually communicate with
family or friends by telephone. First, I feel more close to my family or friends by
directly talking to them. Hearing their voices gives me a sense of intimacy, especially
for a student far away from home. In addition, its more efficient to communicate by
telephone. I can directly describe my life and receive information about my family or
friends in just several minutes. Writing a letter wastes too much time and my
handwriting is not neat enough. Some people may contend to use the email. However,
emails might not be checked in time and the internet has to be available. So Id like to
choose telephone.
58. Favorite time of a year.
Surely its fall, the most beautiful time in a year, especially in Shenyang. I enjoy this
season for several reasons. First, winter is too chilly, and summer is too hot. Spring is
often short, and before you can feel, it has gone. Only in fall, it is soft and beautiful.
The whole city often turns golden before sunset. It becomes an old imperial city, the
city in the novels of the author-Lao She, with city walls, arches, rickshaws, teahouses,
street performers, hot food stands, straight and wide streets and antique stores. So as
for me, fall is the best season in which I can enjoy the beautiful scene of Shenyang.
59. Have a relaxed and unhurried life, yes or no?
I definitely agree with the statement that one should have a relaxed and unhurried life.
First, even though we must work hard in order to make our dreams come true, it is not
a good idea to be exhausted every day. We Chinese have an old saying, life is like a
bow, sometimes tight and sometimes loose, or it will break. Only relaxation could let
one have a good rest, which will definitely increase one's efficiency when he/she is
back to work. In addition, there will be not enough time to take care of the families if
he/she is always too busy. A lot of business owners who spend too much time on
work dont feel happy just because they dont have a happy family.
60. Favorite room.
My favorite room is my bedroom. Its not very big but I can do many things in the
room. First, its the place I study. I have a big bookshelf with different types of
readings, ranging from scientific books to literature works, newspapers to magazines.
In addition, my bedroom is also the place I relax and exercise myself, I can listen to

the music, surf the Internet and doing some boxing to keep fit and healthy.
Furthermore, the room is decorated all by myself, just the way I like. So my favorite
bedroom gives me a lot of fun.
61.
I prefer to go to the destination directly. First of all, before the trip I will make a plan,
like where to go, which resort to visit and when I return. I dont want to change my
schedule as long as I have made one. In addition, I would like to stay at one place for
a period of time so that I could take my time to understand the history, culture and the
people where I visit. Furthermore, if I visit too many different places on journey, I
will be tired when I get to the destination. As a result, I could not enjoy the place as I
planned.
62. restaurant cafe care about features
Actually, when I go to a restaurant or caf I only care about some basic features. First
of all, the most important thing I concern with is the sanitary condition. Its directly
related to consumers health, you will feel uncomfortable to sit down in a dirty house
and use the dirty dishware. In addition, I think a good service is also necessary; I
dont want to wait for a meal for a long time and the waiter/waitress shouldnt give
you a cold face at least. Furthermore, a good restaurant should provide delicious food
and drink. The taste of food is the significant feature of a restaurant to attract
customers.
63. old building new building replace old
building
In my opinion, old building should be kept in the city. An old building usually can
serve as educational sites for kids to learn the past culture of the city, or as reference
for students of architecture. In addition, it also boosts the development of tourism,
especially if the place is a historical heritage, which can bring a considerable income.
Furthermore, once the old buildings are pulled down, the result is irreversible. Some
of the structures and the materials cannot be reconstructed. So we should preserve
them for our offspring.
64. Get advice from family and friends or learning through personal experience.
I think its more important to learn from personal experience, although advices from
others are helpful and sometimes necessary. First, when I have problems or get into a
dilemma, I am the person most familiar with what I really want. Advices from others
may be just the opposite with my expectation. In addition, knowledge gained by doing
things can provide me the first hand information. I cannot tell whether something is
true if I have not experienced on my own. Furthermore, many skills and knowledge
can only be learned through practical experience. For example, I cannot learn
swimming by just following the advices of others. The only thing I should do is to
jump in the swimming pool and experience by myself. Therefore, experience is the
best teacher.
65. Do you agree or disagree: Students should wear uniform in school?
In my opinion, I agree that students should wear uniform in school because it has
more advantages. First of all, to wear school uniforms can make students concentrate
more on study. Students need not pick clothes to wear every morning. It saves much

time for them. In addition, school uniform saves money for parents. Because of love,
parents hardly refuse to buy new clothes for their children. If students wear uniform
everyday, less new clothes are required. Furthermore, school uniforms strengthen the
spirit of students organization and the obeying of regulations.
66. online courses traditional courses
I prefer having classes in traditional classroom. First of all, I can concentrate on my
task. When I sit in front of the computer, I often chat in MSN and read some news of
movie stars. It is hard for me to study online. In addition, the professor teaches us not
only the content in books but also several subjects related. Furthermore, I can
communicate with my professor, like eye contact, facial expression and body
language, which would make the classes more vivid. Therefore, based on my own
experience, I believe the traditional class is better for students.
67. Subject which will lead to better job or subject which you are interested.
I agree with that we should choose a subject that suits our interests. First of all, if we
force ourselves learn something we dont like, then we cant be fully devoted to learn
it well and may even feel boring. As a result, it will low our study efficiency and cant
prepare us very well for future development. Furthermore, the demand of job market
definitely changes more frequently than our interests do. We may find a job popular
after you graduate, although it may receive poor recognition by the society when we
entered college. So its wise to choose a major we are interested in.
68. ,,
?
I believe that the education in college is necessary. First, students can learn specific
knowledge and skills in the university. When they graduate from college, they can get
better salaries and work conditions. In addition, a college degree will be benefit for
the students further development, such as more opportunities of promotion.
Furthermore, a college is a bridge connecting the campus and the society. On the
campus, students can develop the confidence all people need to cope with new
experience. So although there are many exceptions such as Bill Gates, I believe
attending college will prepare you much better for future.
69. Describe a letter or poem or ...that is important to you.
I have written a letter to my mother which was homework from my teacher. At the
beginning, I don't want to write the letter because I had quarreled with my mother the
day before. However, after I returned home, I found my mother had already prepared
the dinner for me and I felt so guilty about my thought. So I wrote the letter as soon as
possible after dinner. In the letter, I told my mother how I loved her and how moved
by her patience and forgiveness.
70. ,,...?
I would prefer to live on the plain. First I could enjoy wide open view after a days
hard work. It will make me feel comfortable. In addition, the plain usually has fertile
soil on which I can grow food and feed animals. It will be a sense of satisfaction to
taste food made by myself. Furthermore, if I have a car or some sort of transportation,
I can easily go around to explore surrounding area. However, living in forest or desert
cant provide things like that.

71.
At the end of last semester I had a tough experience when I was invited to show my
dance in a large-scale celebration, I had less than two weeks for preparation and I was
so busy with my final exams. I told my dilemma to one of my friends who is also
good at dancing and has relatively more spare time. He asked me not to be gloomy
and promised to investigate the dancing actions instead of me. He learned new
dancing actions during the daytime and taught me every night. It did save me a lot of
time and I successfully accomplished both the performance and exams.
72. personal satisfaction
I will definitely choose a major which will lead to a better job which can make me
earn more money in the future. I bet the most common reason for us attending
university is to find a good job with bright future and decent pay when we graduate,
like finance and marketing. For example, I love literature, but I chose journalism to be
my major in the university. Journalism is much more practical than literature. You can
see this from the fact that the number of author is much less than the number of
journalist. I could not deny that satisfying our interests will make our life more
enjoyable, but it has to take a good job as a prerequisite. Compared to surviving,
everything has to be placed in the second place.
73. part-time job summer intern

I agree that its beneficial for students to have a part-time job or summer intern before
applying for an occupation. First, students will learn a lot that they cant obtain from
academic books. They may be more concerned with the experience and knowledge
accumulated outside school. In addition, students can develop their communication
skills with different groups of people in the society. Furthermore, as the founder of
Apple Steve Job has said, The only way to be satisfied is to do what you believe is
great work and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent
found it yet, keep looking and dont settle. Trying different kinds of things by doing
part-time job or summer intern is a good way to find our interests.
74.
I want to learn communication skills most. It is impossible to overstate the importance
of good communication skills. In todays society we have to work cooperatively with
others. A good communicator finds it easier to put forth his ideas clearly. In this way,
there will be fewer misunderstandings. In addition, a person with good
communication skills is a good mediator and negotiator. He or she can play a valuable
role in resolving disputes and enhancing cooperation. This means that a good
communicator is often a natural leader.
75.one-year break
In my opinion, students should not have a year-long break before college. I have two
reasons to name. First, taking a year-long break would be a waste of time, because the
students could have learnt a lot of knowledge or had valuable experience on campus.
Second, this long period of break would make the students forget most of what they
have studied in high school, which will prevent the students from adapting to college

life as quickly as possible.

76. Some good news and why.
I am delighted and hugged together with my friends when I was informed that I could
go to Hawaii for free. I have been dreaming to Hawaii. Since I watched the
moviesurf up, such beautiful view and so many super surfers impressed me deeply.
They are amazing and so skillful. It seems that they can walk or even fly on the sea
surface and battle the billow with great courage. I admire them so much and expect to
surf in Hawaii myself. So the news made me happy and even caused loss of sleep the
whole night.
77.
Different people have different answers to this question according to their respective
point of view. When I was a freshman, I lived with students of different grades and
experienced many interesting things together. So based on my own experiences, I
recommend other freshmen to live with students in higher grade. First, freshmen
usually choose almost the same common courses, so they have communicated enough
with others in classes. Its not necessary to make them live together for more
communication. In addition, mixed-type living style can also absorb students since
freshmen can obtain more experience and suggestions from students of higher grades.
For these two reasons, I support mixed-type living manner.
78. students will learn more when they have discussions
I will definitely agree to the statement that students will learn more when they have
discussion. Take me as an example, I still remember clearly the spring of 2003 when
SARS attacked our city, we students were not allowed to study in the classroom
together, and had to learn separately by on-line courses at home. So I had no partners
to discuss with, and I got the lowest average GPA that semester. I think that's all
because I dont understand pretty well without discussion with my teacher or
classmates.
79. Do you agree or disagree: The most important lesson cant be learned in class.
I agree to the statement that the most important lesson cannot be learned in class. The
lesson we have learnt on class is some basic knowledge. What we learn in the society
is much more practical and important as well. For example, we will never learn how
to deal with the relationship among co-workers in classroom, but it is crucial to
manage this kind of relationship if we want to survive in the fierce competition in a
company. And this kind of skill could only be taught in the society.
80. Should the university education be free?
I dont agree with the claim about university education for all/for free. First of all, it
can cause tension on teaching resources and available facilities. Without any charge
of tuition for college students, there will definitely be an increasing enrollment, which
will result in great budget and resources pressure. In addition, the more college
students, the less value will be the degree. It may go against the original selective
purpose of the higher education. So I dont think its wise to make university
education for all.
A large class or small.
If facing two choices like that, I prefer the small classes. First, in a small class,

students can communicate conveniently and comfortably. It is easy to organize some

interactive activities such as short stage show. And teachers will have more time and
attention to care about teaching and solve students problems. In addition, in a smaller
discussion class, students could have more opportunities to give presentations. This
will benefit them to improve the speaking ability. So I think the smaller class is better
for students as well as teaching.
Favorite painting.
The painting I like most is the sunflowers painted by Vincent Van Gogh. First of all,
most paintings of Van Gogh are full of passion, especially for this one. I fell in love
with this painting at the first sight I saw it. The golden bright tone of the whole picture
makes me feel warm. In addition, the sunflower is my favorite flower. Because I
believe sunflowers symbolize hope and happiness, whenever I see the painting of
sunflowers I would forget the trouble I have and are full of energy.
Embarrassing moment.
The most embarrassing moment I have ever experienced is that I found I forgot to
take any money with me when paying for the meal in a restaurant. In that evening, I
invited two of my colleagues to have dinner together because they helped me to
accomplish a task. And I had told them I will pay for the meal. Surprisingly, when the
waiter hands me the bill, I suddenly found I had left my purse in my office. So
embarrassed I was that I wanted a hole to squeeze in.

I think Harry Potter is a very interesting book. Yes, I am a big Harry Potter fan, and I
have read the whole Harry Potter series over ten times. First, the story of the book is
very amusing. It strongly impresses me with its description of the magic and mystery
activities. In addition, the whole story of the book is full of imaginations and suspense
which makes me hardly put it down once I start to read. Furthermore, Harry sets an
example to indicate that braveness, persistence and kindness will finally defeat the
evils and adversities. Thats why I love to read the book.

As for me, I wouldn't finish reading a new book at one time. First, I think it should
take time to enjoy a good book; otherwise I could not get its best part. Sometimes,
maybe I should even repeat some of the chapters once and again, In addition, my
spare time everyday is not enough for me to finish a book at one time. There are many
other things such as working, studying I have to do. So I have to finish my book in
separate times. In a word, when I get a good new book, I would read it with most
patience until I finish it.

The scientist I like most is Tomas Edison. He is the most famous inventor in 20
century. His inventions, such as light bulb and film projector, greatly influence the
lives of people all over the world. In addition, he is also a successful businessman
who founded the Edison General Electric Company. Now, GE is one of the top ten
companies in the world. Furthermore, his grit and backbone in facing adversities
encourage me when I meet difficulties. Thats why I look on Tomas Edison as the
person I admire most.


The athlete I like most is Liu Xiang who is one of the most famous athletes in China.
He not only won Gold medal at the Athens Olympics but also keeps the world record
for a long time. He sets a good example to indicate that persistence and hard working
make perfect. His spirits encourage lots of young people in our country. Furthermore,
he is a kind-hearted person as well. He has donated his precious track shoes to charity
foundations. Sobecause of these contributions and good characters, I regard Liu
Xiang as my favorite athlete.
Characteristics in teamwork.
In my opinion, the good qualities a person should have when he work in a team are
reliability, patience and good communication skills. First, a reliable team member
who always gets work done and meets commitments is easy to obtain the trust from
others. In addition, because of working with others to accomplish a task together,
patience will benefit the relationship and cooperation in the teamwork. Furthermore,
one of the requirements for team work is to express thoughts clearly, directly and
honestly so that communicating with others in a positive and respectful manner is also
significant. In short, if a person works in a team these three good qualities is of
essential importance.
Music you like best.
Although everyday there will be various new songs updating in the music world, one
Chinese song called the original dream is my favorite. I like it the most for several
reasons. First, the melody is enchanting. Each time it seems a flow of fresh air for me.
In addition, the lyric is inspiring just as the songs title. It says The original dream is
still firmly held in hands. How can we get back on the half way to the most dreaming
place. The original dream will be realized definitely. Fulfilling our desire makes a
wonder trip to paradise So when facing frustration or failure, I always want to listen
to the song and encourage myself to keep on moving.

Favorite Food.
Egg is my favorite food. There are several reasons for my preference. First of all, it is
nutritious. Eggs can provide us plenty of protein for a day. In addition, cooking eggs
is very convenient especially boiling eggs. All you need to do is just boiling the water
with the cleaned eggs in it. Furthermore, there are so many different ways to cook
eggs. You can pan-fry it, stir-fry it, or steam it and so on. Whats more, you can
choose any way you like to season it.
