  TASK 1 第一题

  1. What is the most important quality the teacher should have?

  I would say the most important quality of a good teacher is knowledge. As known to all, the teacher's job is to impart knowledge and enlighten the students' creativity. A teacher is supposed to be an expert in his or her own field, they should also have some knowledge in other fields, cuz lots of subject are related with other fields for example, geopolitical science deals with geography and politics, behavioral economics is about psychology and economics. Most important of all, a knowledgeable teacher will be more popular than a teacher with very limited knowledge.

  2. Your university is planning to allow students to watch TV in their dorms. What is your opinion and why?

  I think this is such a brilliant idea, TV programs like documentaries can be very informative, and they target different kinds of audience. They cover lots of topics like sports, animal world, history, and even religions. You can really learn a lot about all kinds of stuff. By watching TV is dorm, students can learn a lot. What’s more, students are very sometimes depressed about their school, and they need some relaxation, and I think entrainment programs on TV serve as a great way for students to relax, like reality shows, and poker game shows.

  3. Describe a time you learned a new subject.

  When I was in junior high, I had to learn English for the first time, and it was really hard for me to pick up at first. The words, grammar and sentence patterns are just so different from Chinese. But with the help of my English teacher, I gradually learnt some basic words and useful phrases, and I started practicing English with foreigner whenever I got a chance, the more I acquire, the more I am willing to learn and I put more effort and I am determined to be really good in English. Now, after so many years, I am still a big fan of the English language, and I cannot live a single day without it.

  4. Among the following professions, which do you think is the most important to a city? Police officer, building designer or transport worker.

  I would say police is the most important job to a city, though they do not really get paid that much, what they do is very essential to the community. They prevent lawbreaking behaviors, like robbery, burglary, and even speeding, they hunt down criminals and preserve the safety of the community. Plus, you can call police officers for help, like when you neighbor is very noisy and you feel like you are disturbed, they also help to address common complaints like that. That is basically why I think police is the most important out these three professions.

  5. What do you think the government should do to decrease the usage of cars or other vehicles and solve the traffic problems?

  There are lots of ways for the city to decrease the usage of cars and other vehicles, and deal with the traffic jams. Firstly, the decision makers should invest more money to improve public transportation, like adding more bus routes; develop express local trains and renovating bumpy roads. Secondly, they in order to limit the number of private cars on roads, more tax should be imposed on gasoline price, and they probably should reduce the price of public transportation, and make it more accessible to citizens, so when they commute, they will only consider using public transportation.

  6. University students often feel home sick when they are away from home. What do you often do to deal with home sickness?

  There are lots of activities you can do to help you deal with homesickness. Personally, I think making new friend whenever I am away from home is a very effective way to ease my homesickness. By interacting with new friends, I feel like it is a very easy for me to fit in the local culture, also, I can enrich my own experience and broaden my horizon by exchanging different ideas with new friends. On top of that, I would say chatting with my family online is also very helpful, not only can you hear their voice, you can also see their face. Basically, it's like you are talking to them face to face. You can update them what's going on with your own life, like the people you meet, the places you have been, so on and so forth.

  7. Which of the following would you rather be? Lawyer, veterinarian or restaurant owner. Explain your answer in details.

  I would say I like to be a restaurant owner, doing business is like my childhood dream, it is a great profession and it bring me great personal satisfaction and monetary value, but I am aware that these reward does not come easy, cuz whenever you are making important decisions there are both opportunities and risks. Frankly, I like the excitement of doing business, and I am not the kind of person who just wants to live a risk-free life, I would say I like the thrill when you make a fortune or suffer a great loss. Apart from that, by operating a restaurant, I can provide people with nice food, and hopefully I can make people happy, and they feel like as if they were dining in their own home.
