What do you think the advantage and disadvantage of owning a private car? Nowadays more and more families own private cars.Private cars have been playing a vital role in people's daily activities.There are many advantages on having a private car.First, private cars are a convenient means of transportation.You can go wherever you like.Secondly, there is no doubt that private cars will have a great impact on the economic growth.The rapid car industry growth will contribute much to keeping the country's economy growing at a higher rate in the near futrue.But every coin has two sides.The development of the private cars will bring about a series of problems.For example, the polluted air given off by cars will do great harm to our health, too many private cars will lead to traffic jams and a great deal of energy will be wasted and so on.So I think we should take advantages of private cars and make them serve us better

What are your spare time interests? Well, I usually do something that I am interested in my spare time, trying to make myself relax.I would listen to the music, my favorite types of music are English music, and it’s wonderful.And sometimes I will copy down the lyrics and trying to learn that American slang that appears in lyrics.Apart from it, I’m also keen about yoga.Yoga has become a pretty popular activity among varied people.Yoga is widely spread and accepted especially by who are usually under great stress.Yoga is a wonderful way to give off their bad mood.I really like yoga.Besides, when I have extra time, I will also read books and go jogging.In conclude, my spare time is colorful and meaningful.What do you think are the main Causes of road Accidents? It is true that poor driving skills, recklessness, negligence and criminal behavior are SOME of the factors that must be present to cause an accident but the other factor speed must ALWAYS be present as without it no collision can happen.A collision is a forceful contact between two or more objects due to the speed of one or more of the objects involved in the collision and the force of the lethality is caused by the rate of speed involved in the contact-so speed is not only an essential cause for a collision to happen, it is also the main cause of the severity of the collision AND will determine if the collision can be avoided or not due to reduced action/reaction time available caused by higher speeds.Today, in contrast to the past when current speed limits were set up, traffic is very much more dense and the typical distance between people and vehicles on the road is much shorter distances than in the olden times drastically reducing the available time for road users in which to act or react so current speed limits should in the interest of road safety be reduced and not increased Who is your favorite film star? Please describe him or her My favorite film star is Johnny Deep.He is an actor in Hollywood.He has two big and black eyes with a gold-colored hair.He is going to marry this year with her girlfriend Vanessa was a singer but now she is going to be an actress in Hollywood.Johnny He has performed many well-known films.Such as: the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd and so on.He worked as a Golden Globe winner.He is very famous in the world and many people like his films.Do you think watching TV is a waste of time? No, I don't think it's a waste of time provided that you have finished what you were doing or what you have to do before watching television, on the one hand, I think that television is a great way to relax.，we can learn a lot from watching TV,.For example, the comedy help me to relax, while the documentaries are informative.I believe that TV has become the best source of information these days.It is a fast and convenient way to find out about the latest news from all over the world.What is your ambition? My ambition is to become a musician.As a child, I had many dreams, but becoming musician is the most things I want to be.During the musical class, I pay more attention to teacher‘s instruction, and act as teacher‘s helper.I think musician has more influence on people‘s mind and behavior.There are many crimes and disorders in our society, as many of outlaws come from broken family and human‘s greed.If I can be a musician, I definitely will ask myself be an honor and useful person and educate them by the music.The goal of our life is to entertain and help the others and reach the harmony happiness.I hope my ambition and dream can come true.I am willing to study hard and become a musician in the future.How to create a good first impression A good impression is very important to every interviewee.howvery,what we can do to make a good impression.First of all, you must dress neatly and cleanly.As we all know, clean and tidy appearance is appropriate for most business and social occasions.Secondly appropriate dressing and grooming help make a good first impression.Last but not least, Make sure your grooming is appropriate and also help you feel more calm and confident.Add all of this up and you are well on your way to creating A good first impression

Do you think smoking is a problem that needs special attention and has to be solved?

If so, why? I think it does.A lot of people in China aren't aware of the health consequences of smoking.They just smoke because it's socially acceptable to do so.If more people knew they could get cancer from smoking.they'd probably stop, or at least smoke less.I know that the tobacco industry is big business, and if we tried to get rid of smoking...we'd also be getting rid of jobs, but at the very least, people should be told about the potential dangers of Smoking.That way they can make an informed choice about whether to smoke or not Do you find it easy or difficult to study in the college? Why? Everyone may think it is difficult to study in the college, but I think it will be much more colorful and rightful...First, study.In the college we have much free times, but this does not mean that the university life is boring and time wasting.In university one has some other very important things to do besides study, which plays a very crucial role in the college life.Also the college study is not so boring.it covers a winder range in study which is not involved in the high school study.Second,people often says that university is like a small society that students can learn interpersonal relationship here.The university also has many activities and opportunities and stages for one to show him.Everyday is no longer only the study and scores but also how to build a friendly relationship with others.In a word, college is a small society and it is the first step you enter into society and it is excellent and full of challenge.Just enjoy it!

What do you think of taking part-time job in college? In my opinion, I think part-time job has many advantages and disadvantages.As normal students in school, the traditional education emphases the study is the first work to us, but when we have enough time to do other things, the part-time job becomes a fashionable choice.Part-time job, if we arrange it well, it will not make any function to our study.Then it makes we know how to work and live in society by yourself.With the part-time job, we will abundant our social knowledge.So I think how to arrange is the most important key for it.

To achieve success, knowledge learned through study is more important than the ability of creativity

B：When people achieve success, they always ascribe it to the ability of creativity.However, as far as I am concerned, to achieve success, knowledge learned through study is more important than the ability of creativity.Success without learning knowledge is almost impossible.C：To begin with, studying knowledge provides us for basic skills that we need to function in our society.In school, we learn how to speak and write and understand mathematical equations.That is all information we need to live in our communities and earning a living.I can’t imagine that how can we possess the ability of creativity without these basic skills.D：Also, learning knowledge makes the way to success.Take a student for example.If he works hard and master what taught by his teachers well, he can get high scores in the examinations.For the student, getting high scores is a success.Of course, I don’t mean that the ability of creativity is not important.E：but i think creativity is more important.it can save a lot of time and efforts.and spend that time and efforts doing betters things.A：On the contrary, we should learn to study creatively.In that case, we can save a lot of time and effort, and spend that time and effort doing other better things.Finally, the ability of creativity is on the basis of the knowledge learned through study.B：On one hand, knowledge we learned let us know how to create and where we can create;on the other hand, knowledge learned through study decreases the probability of making mistakes.We can focus our attention on some particular aspects.话题3：

1.Nowadays, College students' employment is a severe problem.Why some college students couldn’t find a job ,but some high school graduate can get a job easily.And why some people work for a while,but they still couldn’t be promoted by boss?What is the chief consideration of boss, their education or their practical ability? 2.I think education is more important.it is the basis of the experience.Without high education ,it is impossible for us to acquire the high-tech knowledge.Nowadays, education is the most appropriate standard to judge a person.With high education ,the person always is qualified.Big companies are impossible to employ a person who can't speak English fluently.That needs a good education.3.I agree with your opinion completely.I think if you never be educated ,can you know the knowledge and put it into the practice?When you don’t know anything at work ,you will take many many mistakes and you will quickly be fired.In modern society,knowledge is power.Only you own enough knowledge can you have more chance to find good job or be promoted by boss.4.I don’t completely agree with you Education is just a certificate ,just a paper,can't prove anything.experience is more important.a girl who has high education but has no experience at all and can't do things well.will you employ her?Before being a formal member of a company,we have to be trained for a period of time.that means experience is very important..Without high education,there still are peopele to be boss.but wiouthout experience ,you can't be a boss.5 From my perspective, both of them should be taken into consideration.But nowadays, most employers emphasize more on candidates' education background when they decide to hire them.Because they believe that with higher education, those candidates may be superior to those with lower education, and they have those abilities to make great achievements.话题4 1.In modern society, what course to follow or to take when we graduate? Going to find a job or pursuing a postgraduate degree is a hot topic.The both have their advantages and disadvantages.For example, going to find a job can let one enter the society in advance and reduce parents’t pressure.But pursuing a postgraduate degree can increase one’s cultural knowledge and knowledge is power.Now let us discuss it.Everyone can talk about own opinions.2 I think in the society we can learn in college courses can't learn knowledge.It can also gain some useful experience to approach society.It can improve our practical ability from the work.If you fail to pursue a postgraduate degree,you will lose the better chance to look for the job..Pursuing a postgraduate degree is a hard thing.Are you sure when you after pursuing a postgraduate degree ,you can find a good job? It may take some risks.3 Year,I agree with your opinion.Some student prefer to look for a favorable job,which they can gain useful experience that they can’t get from books.When they move on to a higher level job one day,then, they will already have experience in that field, At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities,and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their master’s degree program.4.I don’t think so.On the contrary.I think pursuing a postgraduate degree can gain higher education background.It is benefit for you to find a better job in the future.Now we college students go to find a job harder and harder.Pursuing a postgraduate degree is a good choice.And we all know, knowledge is power.Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall.In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.5 It depends I think.Because of the severe job marketing, it is wise for us to continue to receive higher education and pursue a postgraduate degree, and it is a remarkable choice at any time.However, as an adult, it is high time we should be independent and try to make a living all by ourself.We should be grateful for our parents for raising us all these years, and be responsible for ourself.话题5 1 Everybody likes music.When we walk we listen to music;when we work, we listen to music;and even when we sleep, we listen to it.Why we human beings are so obsessed about music? I think the reason is simple.music is the most wonderful thing in the world, it is not limited to space, and not limited to the time, but the perfect combination of both.It can also affect our lives, for example, to calm us, to cheer us up, or to increase efficiency.2.Relaxing classical music is safe, cheap and easy way to beat insomnia.Many people who suffer from insomnia find that Bach music helps them.Researchers have shown that just 45 minutes of relaxing music before bedtime can make for a restful night.Relaxing music reduces sympathetic nervous system activity, decreases anxiety, blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate and may have positive effects on sleep via muscle relaxation and distraction from thoughts.3 I think so.music adds color to our daily lives.Without music, what the world would be? In today world, music is everywhere.music can cheer us up when we are sad.music also is a good company.No matter how many friend do you have, you still sometimes feel alone.That's why people turn to music for help.Listen to music let us no longer lonely.4 You are all right.mothers tend to hum a soothing lullaby instead of a military march to their babies.at a sports meeting ,the music is often fast.seldom is a painfully slow serenade played.with reapect to the issue of effciency, I'm afraid it is rather controversial.quite a few students prefer to listen to a walkman or a diskman while they are doing thier homework.On the other hand, many demand absolute silence before they can concentrate on their academic work.5 To sum up, we human beings all love music,because it can make us more happy.Musicologist Julius Portnoy found that music can change metabolic rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy levels, and digestion, positively or negatively, depending on the type of music.Calming music, such as classical music was found to have a very calming effect on the body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to the effect of a dose of valium.Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing music.The music in these studies is not the “lyrics”, but the music itself, the melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, the chords.话题6 1 According to a recent survey, there are a growing number of traffic accidents which are most caused by drunk driving.it is awful agony and torment not only for drivers ,but for victims.therefore, what should we do to prevent it.2 first response is to usually argue with this intoxicated person and tell them that they are too drunk to drive.Then the person says something like “ I only had a few, I feel fine.”.So how do you argue logic with someone who has been drinking? with physical proof.That's why we endorse the use of the legal limit breathalyzer key chain, it gives you physical proof that the person is intoxicated.Your no longer in an un-winnable battle of wills that will just delay the person and make them upset(Which could be even more dangerous)3 here are my suggestions.First, Drunk drivers should be punished more severely in order to convince people not to drink and drive.Second, it needs more strict measures to catch drunk drivers.all holes should be closed to ensure those with special power such as officials, rich people cannot escape the rule of laws.4 Actually , every person can do something.for instance, As a bartender or server you are involved and you have a moral obligation to take care of the people you serve and profit from.When people drink, they lose the ability to make good decisions as well as their reflexes and you should help them get that way.5 You also have an obligation to protect innocent people from any bad customer who you served before before he/she sobers up.A little effort on your part can really make a difference.How would you feel if one of your customers drove drunk and killed a woman and her baby? All in all, Everyone of us have an obligation to prevent the drunken driving.It’s time to action.话题7 1 Speaking is the skill that language learners will be judged upon most in real-life situations.It is an important part of everyday interaction and most often the first impression of a person is based on his ability to speak fluently and comprehensibly.A lot fo students have the problem that they are afraid of speaking English in front of people.When we meet this situation,what can we do? I think everyone has his own advice.Now we will tell you some suggestions about it.2 First of all,believe youself,It's the most important thing.When you get enough confidence,you can begin to do it.speak in front of other people is nothing big deal,expressing what you get on your mind will let others know more about you,then you can make friends with lots of other people easily.everyone needs to improve himself, but there is a long way to go.so just do your best to change yourself.3 What is more,it is an excellent opportunity for you to show your English skills,then you can improve more.Think about the situation there is only you,yourself, in front of others,which every small mistake you make will be seen clearly.In this case,you must be more careful and pay more attention to the details.Just speak out what you want to say,and show yourself!you'd better practice you Englisn after class,this is a necessity for the one who is afaid of speaking Englisn in front of others.You must make up most of time in reading.Watching some programmes using english or listening the VOA,you will find english is not very terrible but very interesting.5 Before you speak,you can take a deep break,and then smile to yourself.And tell yourself:you is the best one!(I thingk if you do that you cannot nervous)Be more brave.English is easy to speak.And if you want to learn it well,you must open your mouse widely in front of others.Take action right now

Unit 1 Enjoy your feelings!1.Why do people get angry? Please give at least three reasons people get angry.People are most likely to be angry when treated unfairly, especially when we are betrayed by a close friend, or be tricked by someone.When people are looked down upon or treated with contempt, they will surely be angry.When people witness some injustices, they will get angry.For example, when we see a child being bullied by a group of hoodlums, it makes our blood boil.There are countless reasons people get angry.But remember what

Aristotle said, “Anybody can become angry—that is easy;but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.”

2.What makes you happy? Are you happy when others are happy? Happiness is with me everywhere.The greatest pleasure seem to come from hard-won achievement.For example, when I work hard and pass an important examination, when I finish a difficult assignment, when I can have a good rest after a day’s hard work, when I am hungry and can have a big meal, when I have a promotion,...I will feel happy.Hume happiness is not limited to one's good fortune or success.If I help someone indeed and bring him or her happiness, I'll probably feel incredibly wonderful.3.What are the ways you make yourselves happy, especially when you are depressed or upset? — I like to take a walk or jog when I am in a low spirit.Exercise is better than tranquilizers for relieving anxiety and stress.Try to think about the pleasant experiences you have had while walking or jogging.— I like to Hum a song or listen to some music when you are in a low mood.Music soothes even the savage beast.I usually do so when I feel lonely or unhappy.Studies also find that music activates parts of the brain that produce happiness.It’s really relaxing.4.What is the happiest, saddest or the most depressed moment in your life? — One of the happiest moments in my life is when I stepped onto

the train back home when I was away from home for more than half a year.I looked forward to the scenes of seeing my parents again, sharing my experiences of happiness and hardships with them, sitting around the table having dinner with them….I was really beside my self with joy at that time.— One of the happiest moments in my life is when I knew I was accepted by this university.My dream came true at last.— One of the saddest moments in my life was when I got the news that my grandfather was seriously ill.I was far away from hometown and couldn’t get back to see him.When I was home, he passed away.My sadness was beyond description at that time.I am still sad mentioning this.—One of the depressed moments in my life was when I failed in the college entrance examination two years ago.I saw no hope in my life at that time.I wasn’t sure I could succeed the next year and worried about the future.Fortunately I got better with my parents’ encouragement and help.Unit 2 Beauty can be bought.1.What are the benefits from cosmetic surgeries ? Cosmetic surgeries may effectively improve our appearance.With improved features, one may find a better job, attract a more desirable spouse, and gain faster promotion.Some occupations attach great importance to appearance.Most actors, anchorpersons, and fashion models can be recognized by their looks.It is sometimes argued that by looking good, one tends to feel self-confident.With confidence, success is more likely to follow in any undertaking.2.What disadvantages are there in plastic surgery? There are quite a few disadvantages to have plastic surgeries.I have heard of a lot of reports about the side effects of plastic surgeries and surgery accidents.We should not attempt to change our physical appearance by cosmetic means, which may bring unexpected disasters in the future.People who receive botox injections to remove wrinkles may eventually ruin their skin.Some surgical operations that are intended to make single-fold eyelids double fold actually make them multi-folded--not what the patient had in mind.What’s worse, some institutions do not have the qualifications to make such surgical operations and this increases the possibilities of accidents.So be careful when you intend to have a plastic surgery.3.What is beauty? How do you understand it? Beauty is an idea.Everyone’s idea of beauty is different.Beauty refers not only to the beautiful appearance but also a kind heart, a brave heart, a generous heart.Beauty is also a function of culture.When ideas about beauty make powerful impacts, they can become beauty ideals.Ideals evolve over time, and it seems like beauty is all trying to live up to ideals.This is an endless pursuit.Therefore different times or periods have different standards for the idea of beauty.In our times and in some people’s eyes, beauty is just to follow the fashion and it exists in the pursuing of fashions.But I don’t think so.I persist that true beauty comes from within.Natural beauty is the real beauty and natural materials should be enough to bring it out.4.In what ways can people improve their appearance? Some people just want to improve their looks in small ways.They may go on a diet to maintain a good figure, use makeup to improve their appearance, put a facial mask or a kin soother on their faces during the night, have their teeth straightened, or have their nails polished.Some others have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles and crow's feet.Some even inject botox to remove wrinkle.More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.5.Is it worthwhile for men to improve their appearance through cosmetic surgery? — Yes.Times have changed.Men now take increasing responsibility for their own choices in health care and one aspect of this is the growth in cosmetic surgery.No one can deny the intense competition in the business world.There is often a perception, correct or not, that an older person is less up to date and efficient.In an effort to remain young looking, isn’t it worthwhile for men to turn to cosmetic surgeries? If cosmetic surgeries make men look younger and more confident about themselves, it is quite worthwhile to do so.He will probably have a new start and a new career.— No.First of all, self-confidence shouldn’t come from a cosmetic

surgery.Even if a man becomes the most handsome person in the world, he is not necessarily becoming the most successful men.There is some risk for men to have cosmetic surgeries.The skin in men is thick, in the facial area contains hair and the blood supply is greater.The result is a greater risk of bleeding.Researches show that in general, men tend to be less happy with the results of cosmetic surgeries than women.An older person has more wisdom and intelligence that the young do not possess.If you show your wisdom in work, it is not necessary for you to suffer the side effects of cosmetic surgeries.6.If your work requires you to become more young-looking, are you ready to have some cosmetic surgeries? Everyone seems to want to look younger, be thinner, have a whiter

smile or just be more beautiful.This is a fad.If I don’t follow the fashion, I will not look good in people’s eyes.So why not have a change and make myself more beautiful.The cosmetic surgeries which is acceptable to me are face lift, nose lift, liposuction, teeth straightening, nose fixing, nose reshaping.7.If you had had a cosmetic surgery, would you keep it a secret from your parents or friends and colleagues, etc? Why?

— Yes.I wouldn't go public with the procedures.I would be embarrassed to tell people other than family and close friends about it.I have never considered which procedure fits me mostly.I may have a try when I am forty years old.Who knows? — No.I don’t mind telling my parents or friends that I had a face lift.I’d like them to share my pleasure of becoming more beautiful.8.Do you like to follow the fashion in clothing? Why or why not? I don’t like to follow the fashion.I don’t quite understand the fashion fans.Why not have one’s own style and feature? Some people, especially girls, are so indulged in following the fashion that they spend all their money on fashionable clothes even if they don’t really look good in them.They are fashion slaves.We all need to be comfortable with what we wear and what we have.As long as our appearance is consistent with the image we would like to project, that’s quite good.Unit 3 Watch out when nature strikes back.1.Can you make a list of some natural disasters that you know about? Can you describe them briefly? There are many kinds of natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, drought, forest fire, tsunami, snowstorm, blizzard, hailstorm, hurricane, typhoon, tornado, landslide, and volcanic eruption.An earthquake is a sudden change or movement in the Earth's crust, causing a moving and shaking of the ground.A flood can be caused by excessive rainfall or quick melting of snow.When the water overflows a river's banks, the nearby low-lying land is flooded.When there is no rain for a long period of time, there is a drought: crops fail and people may die of thirst.A forest fire may be caused by lightning or human negligence(carelessness)--for example, a burning cigarette butt--or arson.It may destroy large forests.A tsunami is a giant wave that rolls onto the shore.It can be caused by a undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide.A snowstorm becomes a blizzard when the wind blows hard and visibility decreases.2.What should be done when an earthquake suddenly strikes? The most important thing you should do when an earthquake strikes is to keep calm.If you are indoors, be sure to stand in doorway or crouch under a desk or table.Be well away from windows or glass, which is likely to be broken during an earthquake.When you are outside, you should stand away from buildings, trees, telephones and electrical lines.When you are driving on the road, be sure to drive away from underpasses and overpasses, and stop on a safe area and stay in your vehicle.3.Can we overcome natural disasters? Natural disasters are often so powerful that they cause widespread destruction.In the face of the raging elements, man may seem helpless.However, there is a lot human beings can do to reduce the dangers.For example, although the force of an earthquake is intimidating, we can construct quake-proof buildings and avoid dangerous quake zones.To prevent flooding, we have built dykes, dams and reservoirs, and many potential floods have been prevented.The dams and reservoirs can also be used to fight a drought by allowing the irrigation dry fields.As a last resort, we can choose to evacuate a disaster-prone area.In fact, human beings have achieved remarkable success in overcoming natural disasters.4.What do you think is the main cause of the increasing frequency of such climate disasters as earthquake, drought and flood? And what should people do facing the devastating climate? Possible reasons for climate disasters or extreme weather: greenhouse effect / global warming / fossil fuels / sea level rises...Actions to stop climate disasters: to arouse the public's environment awareness / reduce the number of air air-conditioners / plant more trees and stop deforestation / reduce the emission of waste gasses / protect wildlife / do more recycling / avoid war / conserve natural resources / lessen pollution / implement sustainable development / drive less...5.Can you describe the worst storm you remember?

Unit 4 Is work just another four-letter word? 1.What is your ideal job after your graduation? 2.When you choose a job, what will you take into consideration? Salary / Promotion / Working condition / Flexible time / Competence / Opportunity 3.If you had gained a big fortune, would you still work? Do you regard your job just as a means of getting money to do the things that you want to do? It Is not just a means of getting money to do the things that I want to do.The work is important to me and my future happiness and contentment.It is a combination of both these things.4.Some bosses employ and promote only relatives or those who come from their hometown.What are the advantages and disadvantages of this hiring practice? Hiring people he is familiar with does offer the boss advantages.Those people are usually willing to work hard and are loyal to the boss, who often entrusts them with such important responsibilities as being a financial manager or human resources manager.However, the disadvantages inherent in a family business outweigh the advantages.To begin with, it is not always easy to find a relative who can take up a highly technical position like a software development engineer.Secondly, if the boss's relative is a director, other staff will quickly realize their chances of promotion are slim and will lose the motivation to work hard or work for another company.Worse still, if relatives turn against the boss, they would bring about extremely severe consequences to the company since they often know many company secrets.
