TASK1
1. A friend of yours is going to study at another university and he's worried that he won't be able to make any friends there. What suggestions would you give him and why?
Personally, I would suggest him join all kinds of social activities, for example, like volunteer activities, fundraising, and going on field trip organized by the school. Also, he should joint clubs, like sports club, poem club, debating club, and even martial art club. In this way, he can interact with the club members. If he is lucky, he might come across someone who is from the same place of him or her. Additionally, he or she find someone who have the same hobby, you know, one has so much to talk about when meeting someone who have the same hobby.
2. Describe an occasion in your country where people give gifts to each other and the kind of gift that's common.
An occasion in my country where people give gifts to each other is the Chinese New Year. What we give to each other varies from family to family. In my family, we give each other red packets that contain lucky money. They symbolize good fortune and prosperity. Another tradition in China is that parents would their kids shopping during Chinese New Year. When I was a kid, my mom and dad took me to the mall every Chinese Year to let me choose whatever cloths or toys I wanted.
3. Which one of the following qualities do you think a good school should have? Students who like to help each other, knowledgeable teachers or strict rules?
I think a good school should definitely have strict rules for the following reasons. My first reason is that strict rules can motivate all kinds of students to work harder because most of the times, students, especially teenagers need a little push in life. For example, when I was in high school, all students in my school were required to arrive at school at 7am to memorize English vocabulary. The school forced everyone to make wise use of the time before the first class of the day officially started. I hated it back then. But when I look back now, I realize that I couldn't have possibly gotten such a good grade in English if my school didn't push me. I probably would have spent my morning sleeping in or procrastinating if my school didn't have such a strict rule. Plus, strict rules can teach students about discipline. Sometimes it's not exactly about the rules themselves, it's the concept of obeying the rules when asked to that matters.
4. What kind of volunteer work would you like to do?
As far as I am concerned, the work of assisting traffic policemen to maintain the traffic order in our city once a week is the kind of volunteer work I would like to do. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, it is a meaningful work. There are more and more cars on the roads, traffic accidents happen frequently due to many people’s behaviors of breaking traffic rules. So the more people do in directing the traffic, the fewer accidents that’ll occur. Besides, I can also know better about the traffic rules by being a volunteer that I’ll be much safer while walking and driving.
5. What do you think is the most important quality of a working environment: good leaders, good colleagues, or flexible time?
Well, I would prefer to work in a working environment with flexible time. First of all, by working flexible hours, I am able to better control and manage my daily life. To be honest, I’m so bored to get up early every day and travel to work place during the rush hour. Instead, I can travel to work in non-peak hours, which save me a lot of time and better make my schedule. Moreover, if I were allowed to arrange my workdays and holiday freely I might be able to have a longer holiday when I can travel abroad or stay at a place for sufficient time to explore the surrounding and have a better understanding of the local custom.
TASK2
1. Some manager likes to closely watch their employees while others prefer to give them more freedom which do you think is more effective.
Personally, I think employees should be given more freedom and flexibility. To begin with, they tend to be more creative and innovative when they enjoy a lot of flexibility at work, thus they can come up with new idea, designs and more effective business solutions to their customers and clients. As we can see that if workers enjoy some flexibilities, like flexible working hours, play their own music at work or enjoy other sorts of freedom, they will be more productive. Additionally, research shows that employees who have a relaxing working environment might be more willing to work long hours.
2. Do you agree or disagree that to succeed we need to make enemies?
I disagree, it’s not necessarily the case. First, there’re many definitions for success. To be successful is to lead a life that you intend to and enjoy, not a life necessarily with a lot of money. Say I feel that my mom is quite successful because she lives a happy life, but she obviously doesn’t have any enemies. And even for the people who are successful in career and with high social status, the effort they’ve spent along the way could be quite legitimate that wouldn’t have induced any serious conflict with others’ interests. Surely there must have been competition, but competition is common in any aspect of life which doesn’t always bring out hostile feelings. So basically，I think the statement stands without solid ground.
3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: talking face-to-face in person is a better way to communicate than communicating through emails and by text message?
I agree with that talking face-to-face to communicate is a better way to communicate because of following reasons. Firstly, talking face-to-face can avoid misunderstanding. Take myself for example, I sent an email to my colleague to check some of problems occurred in our history project, but she failed to receive it, which almost caused the failure of our project. Secondly, talking face-to-face can strengthen the relationship between you and your co-workers. It is believed that communicating in person help people understand others better.
4. Your university is planning to allow people in the community to take courses with students. This course will be free for them and they will not receive feedback or grades about their papers. Do you think this is a good program and why?
I think it is a good idea to provide courses to people in the community and there are two reasons to support my idea. First of all, the course will provide students with chances to talk to people who are not their classmates. People in the community may from different fields of areas, as a result, students may learn from these experienced people which may beneficial to broadening their horizons. Second of all, without charging the fee, the university provides an educational chance for students who are from poor family and who may have potential to make contribution to the society in the future.
5. With the new technologies, we now have electric books and internet. Someone thinks that someday the library will totally disappear. What is your opinion?
I think it is absolutely necessary to have libraries. Firstly, although it is true that electronic books have become increasingly popular, some people still keep the habit of reading paper books. They may find it is easier for them to concentrate or make marks when they are reading. Thus, the library remains a crucial part in readers’ life, since it can provide a huge range of choices for book worms. Besides, the library is not only a place for people to read books, but also to do other activities. For example, students always choose to study in the library. Other people may stay in the library, just to enjoy the quiet atmosphere and to find their inner peace.
