⩥ 2.SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT TELEVISION HAS HAD A
POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY.OTHERS BELIEVE IT HAS
HAD A NEGATIVE INFLUECE ON SOCIETY.WHICH DO YOU
AGREE WITH AND WHY?
Answer: sample 1:
I think the TV has a negative effect on the society. The reasons are as
follows:
First of all, there is an increase of violence on television and it would do
harm to the children. In fact the children are too young towatch these
programs.
In addition, spending too much time on TV is not good for people's
health because they just sit there and hardly move.The most important
thing is that a lot of people nowadays rely on the programs on TV to
avoid the reality. Gradually, they become isolated from the society.
sample 2:
I think television has a positive influence on society. It's a good source
of news. The members in the society can get news easily from News
Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what's happening
around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to
keep up with the latest events. Besides, television can be a kind of
entertainment. People can watch different shows on TV such as funny
talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Late
,show with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV
series such as Lost and Friends. They all consider TV as a good way of
relaxing themselves and of killing time. So, with the news and same TV
programs, people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk
about in any event. Therefore, society actually benefits from TV.
⩥ 3.what do you miss most about your home when you are away? use
specific details in your explaination.
Answer: I miss food most when I am away from my home, particularly
the noodles cooked by my father. When I was in high school, my father
always cooked noodles for me at night. Every day after evening self-
study classes, I came home and had the noodles. The noodles were
delicious, coz you know, after long-time study, it's easy to be tired and
hungry. So the first thing I did when I got home at that time was to eat
noodles. Sometimes, my father would add beef to the noodles and beef
is kind of my favorite meat. The most important ingredient of the
noodles is the specially-made sauce. Sadly, I don't know how exactly my
father makes the sauce. But whenever I go back home, I need to have the
noodles cooked by my father.
addition things:
Situational awareness together, our soul and energy become united and
then we can figure everything out in good situations and disappointing
situations.
⩥ 4.many university now offer academic courses over the internet
.however ,some people still prefer learning in traditional classrooms
.which do you think is better?explain why?
,Answer: I prefer to take academic courses on the Internet. Since the
courses are offered online, I don't have to live near campus. All I need is
a computer and a well-connected Internet. I can study at home and
anywhere convenient. Besides, I don't have to worry about my housing,
nor do I need to drive back and forth. So it saves me money and time.
Also, it's easier to record online courses so I can review the part I don't
understand. With the recorded courses, I can have a good review before
final examination.
⩥ 5.talk about a place you enjoyed going to or visiting when you were a
child.describe the place.explain why you enjoyed it.
Answer: When I was a child, I enjoyed going to an Internet Bar. It is still
open now. It's only 5-minute's walk away from my home and sits beside
the street. The internet bar is not very big. It only has two rooms and
each is full of computers. In summer vacations, My friends and I usually
went there early in the morning playing many computer games such as
Age of Empire, Star War and Counter Strike. The owner of the bar is a
very kind person. He opened the door very early in the morning just for
us. My friends and I occupied a room, sit side by side and yelled to each
other when we were playing games. It was a lot of fun.
⩥ 6.do you agree or disagree with the following statement ?why or why
not?use details and exaples to explain your answer .it is more important
to study math or sience than it is to study art or literature.
Answer: I strongly disagree with the statement that studying math or
science is more important than studying art or literature. Of course, math
and science are very important. But it is meaningless to say that they are
more important than art or literature. We admire Newton for his
, scientific achievements such as Newton's first law. We equally admire
Leonardo for his art accomplishments such as Mona Lisa. These two
people are not comparable because they are in two different fields. So
some people may like studying science. Some may like studying
literature. They all make contributions to the human civilizations. So
math or science and art or literature, they are equally important.
⩥ 7.talk about a photogragh or painting you have seen that was
memorable.explain what you liked or disliked about it.
Answer: sample 1:when i was about fourteen years old i draw a fantastic
painting ,it is memorable for me ,first because as my number one hobby

impresionism and express issues such as customs
,fear,love,treachery,politics(racial prejudge), ignorance,and they need no
passport why being painter .the human condition and as well as
exsurronding can be capture in the memory thanks to art painting and
photograghing.
sample2:
I can't forget the photograph hung on the wall of my grandparents'
apartment. It's our big family photo. It was taken in one Spring Festival
when all relatives gathered together. It's very hard to unite all the family
members since my aunts and uncles all live in another city. Usually,
some uncles or aunts wouldn't come back home to spend spring festival.
But at that time, they all came back. In the photo I can see myself
standing at the third row with my parents beside me and all my aunts,
