Describe a person that influenced you most.
Sample answer：
The person that really influenced me mostwas Ms. Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature.Her class was quite different from the other teachers. In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen. We had to get more involved in the class activities, like discussions, comments or debates sometimes.
Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation.
On the other hand, she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly, she taught me how to live on my own.
So that's why I was greatly influenced. Not only did shegive me knowledge, but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.
Which do you like to read, magazines,novels or poems? And why?
Describe a place for a trip.
Sample answer：
I would go to New Zealand for a trip if I had a chance. It's a lovely country, made up two islands. It is very lush(青葱的) and green because it rains a lot there. I would do a lot of different things and one thing I would definitely do is to swim with the dolphins.
One of my friends ever did it, which she said was very interesting. At first, she was only brave enough to pat them and then she got braver and held on to one's fin while it took her for a swim.They moved very quickly and gracefully through the water and it was fascinating(棒极了). So the place for a trip would be New Zealand!
Describe a social or political celebration event in your culture.
Do you agree that childhood is the happiest (ormost precious) time in life?
Sample answer：
Generally speaking, childhood years are the happy or precious time of one'slife. However, it is hardly appropriate to say those years are the happiest orthe most precious.
It is a fact that childhood, as the earliest part of one's life, has lesspressure, fewer worries and concerns than adulthood. The time, however, may notnecessarily be happy, for there are various factors that are involved inhappiness.
It depends on the individual and the family they were born into. Ifa person had grown up in a healthy family, s/he would have had a happy time inhis/her childhood years.
In addition, the other stages of life are also as precious and happy aschildhood ‘cause a person may have the happiest moment in every stage ofhis/her life if s/he is smart enough. Therefore, I disagree that childhood isthe happiest (or most precious) time in life.
However, there are also downsides for the two points. When people have workedfor a company for a long time, they may easily lose the innovation(创新), because they are too comfortable to change theircurrent working conditions.
Some people prefer to get information through printed materials like books. Other people like to do that via the Internet. which way do you prefer and why? (Which do you prefer,e-reading or traditional look reading? )
Sample answer：
Some people prefer e-reading ‘cause it's fast and convenient. But in my opiniontraditional reading is better for three reasons.
First, paper reading doesn't have as much bad effect on our eyes as computerreading. Even after two or three consecutive hours’ reading, my eyes won’thurt. Second, the printed word gives more comfort, enjoyment or personal touchthan electronic text. I like the feeling of turning the page and taking noteson the book.
Third, though computers are changing the reading habits, the longtradition of printed word may yet not be. Most people still read printed books,magazines and newspapers to get their information.Therefore, I prefer traditional book reading to e-reading.
