In every culture there are some customs or traditions from the past that young people no longer follow. Describe a custom or tradition which formed in the past but you wish it is still popular today. Give specific reasons why you wish it still popular.
Sample answer:
In my point of view, putting up the Spring Festival scrolls to welcome the Chinese New Year should be a popular tradition that young people still ought to follow. As we all know, on Spring Festival’s eve, Chinese people paste red couplets on their gates to enhance the warm traditional festival atmosphere. The poems on the couplets are usually written by calligraphers who use Chinese traditional writing brush and dip it into ink. The red Spring Festival Couplets symbolize good fortune, good health and good luck in the new coming year. So, it’s really an extremely important custom for Chinese people to inherit.

Some people prefer to watch entertainment programs on TV. Others prefer to watch educational programs. Which do you prefer Explain why.
Sample answer :
I think that would be good. Many 60-year-olds are still physically strong.
For people like civil servants, who have comfortable jobs or are in power, it is the later the better.
If our healthcare and children's education can be better guaranteed, I think I will still be able to work for five more years. But if the social security is inadequate, I will find it quite hard to work another five years. It depends on how the society can reduce the pressure that's on us.
Statistically, "actual dependency ratio"(实际赡养比)will be five to one in 2020. If China doesn't take itself to full employment, increase low-income people's earnings so that they can not only feed themselves but also elderly people, or push pack the retirement age. By 2020, we will become a seriously aged country. It will lead to a series of social problems and directly threaten our goal of having a prosperous society in 2020.
I think there are pros and cons. The positive side is that middle-aged and elderly professionals can continue to make contributions to society. The negative side is that young people may have difficulty finding jobs.In an aging society, the number of elderly people is growing. If we push back retirement by another five years, young people will have fewer and fewer opportunities.
Well,I prefer to watch entertainment programs on TV due to the following reasons.
Firstly, TV programs mainly serves as an entertainment way for people to relax. I often choose to watch various entertainment TV programs such as Super Girls, Sound of China and so on to relieve my stress from study. Secondly, watching relaxing TV programs is not as serious as watching educational ones. I have many other ways to educate myself such as reading books, taking classes ,which are more effective than learning on TV. Additionally, there are many commercials on TV which easily take away my attention.

Reading：学校要在校报上增加新的内容：提供一些校外公司招人信息，以便给校内学生提供就业机会，让他们从事符合他们职业目标的工作。
Listening：女生同意该计划。
Because 1)她第一年想去校图书馆或书店工作，但校内招人计划总是一发布就没了。所以校外的招聘信息会给学生带来很多机会;
2)其次，她有个朋友想做律师，但以前都在书店工作，对其长远发展没什么好处，而校外的工作机会能让她的resume更好。
Task 4

一种是外部发展，用挣来的钱买下别的公司，命名为自己的公司，但员工还是原来的那些人。
