1. Do you want to be a leader or follower?
I prefer to be a leader, because I want to implement my dream and I think I can meet the qualities required for a good leader. First of all, a good leader should have the ability of team building, and I believe that I can help each individual in the team to perform their very best due to my excellent communicating skills. Furthermore, the experience of being a leader will make me more mature and capable, because I will learn more from the process of planning, organizing and solving unexpected events. So I prefer the position of a leader to a follower.
2. What do you like to read in your free time, novels, poems, or magazines?
·magazine
In my spare time, I like reading fashion magazines at home. These magazines can teach me which kind of cream fit my skin, how to choose the color of lipsticks and which kind of clothes could cover up my disadvantage. Also, they show a number of new clothes, shoes and adornments of well-known brands. Except for these, I can know some new music record, TV show and movies on magazines.
·fiction
I like fictions the most. They can relax me when I’m tired and want to have a little break, you just need to sit down to enjoy the story in a fiction, just imagining what has happened according to the description, as if you are watching a movie. For other types of reading materials, although poems may be of great literature values, but sometimes they are difficult to understand. When I turn to them, I’m just looking for a way of relaxation rather than another type of learning. Magazines are always expensive and contain lots of advertisements. So I really prefer fictions to the others.
3. What kind of film do you like, comedy, drama or romance?
I prefer watching a film of comedy. First of all, it can give me a break from tedious work. You don’t need to think much about the deep meaning, because it’s not so serious as drama. Furthermore, it can always make you laugh and get rid of your sadness. It will empower you with good mood and energy for future work. All you need is to lean back and enjoy the shows. So I’d like to watch a comedy.
My favorite type of film is comedy. I am a comedy actress in the theater of my university. People like comedy because it makes them relax. In the modern society, people are under amounts of stress and comedy can reduce it. Comedy supplies people‘s energy and makes people fun. I love to bring happiness to people. If I can make people happy, I am glad that I have done something significantly. Comedy can be found not only in movies but also in TV or radio. No matter where you are, comedy is there.
4. Do you think television has a positive effect or negative on modern society?
In my view, television has a positive effect on modern society. Firstly, it offers us an efficient and convenient way to get the latest news. You can directly see what has happened around the entire world just in your home. Moreover, television also has brought us a visual enjoyment and broadened our knowledge by different types of programs. Finally, television can release job seeking pressure at some extent, by providing a job chance for people who are willing to be engaged in related career.
5. Whether parents should lead their children to watch TV or the children should choose?
I think parents should lead their children to watch TV. First of all, children are not mature enough to realize which TV programs are suit for them. Without a proper guide, children may have been misled by some unhealthy TV programs. Moreover, parents play an important role in helping children distinguish true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugly by comparing the situation in TV programs and reality,。 Besides, parents are also responsible for preventing children from been obsessed in watching TV. So I agree with that parents should be able to lead their children to watch TV.
6. Which one has more influence on you, media (such as newspaper, TV) or your friend’s assistance?
I think people nowadays are influenced more by the media rather than their family or friends. For one thing, people are exposed to information from media much more than they spend time with family or friends. It is inevitable for one to absorb things from them and change a previous perception. In addition, modern people are more and more independent. They are not easy to be affected by another person. But they might believe what on the media, because these are more factual things. So I think the media influence people more.
7. Do you prefer communicate with your family and friends by letter and e-mail or by telephone?
I usually communicate with family or friends by telephone. Firstly of all, I feel more close to my family or friends by directly talking to them. Hearing their voices gives me a sense of intimacy, especially for a student far away from home. Furthermore, it’s more efficient to communicate by telephone. I can directly describe my life and receive information about my family or friends in just several minutes, while transferring information by letter or e-mail cost time and energy. So I’d like to choose telephone.
8. Do you prefer get advice from family and friends or learning through personal experience?
I think it’s more important to learn from personal experience, although advices from others are helpful and sometimes necessary. First of all, when you have problems or get into a dilemma, you are most familiar with what you really want and it’ll promote you to develop the ability to solve problems. Advices from others may be just the opposite with your expectation. In addition, more personal experience will make one more mature and capable. You can realize the society more comprehensively and objectively. So I ‘d like to learn from personal experience.
I prefer making a decision depending on my own experience. I agree with that following suggestions of parents or friends can avoid making mistakes, however, I can not be supported by others all the time. One day, my parents will leave me and my friends may not live with me. I should learn how to choose and try to know the world by myself. Moreover, my own experience makes a deeper impression on my life.
9. Do you like to eat at home or in restaurants?
I prefer eating at home to dining out for many reasons. For one thing, it’s much cheaper to eat at home. For a student as me, it can easily cause budget tension by frequently eating out. Furthermore, I can prepare the food just the way I like. Sometimes it can be a fun to experiment on different kinds of food and reason which types suit me. In addition, It may be a creative process that can provide you a feeling of satisfaction. So I like eating at home and I seldom eating out unless for special occasions.
10. Do you like to study in big cities or in small cities?
I prefer studying in a big city. First of all, the universities in a big city have more teaching resources and better available facilities, since they may receive more recognition by government. Furthermore, in a big city we have more opportunities to broaden our view and we can get more chances for career and study development. So I’d like to locate my study area in a big city.
11. Should the university education be free?
I don’t agree with the claim about university education for all/for free. First of all, it can cause tension on teaching resources and available facilities. Without any charge of tuition for college students, there will definitely be an increasing enrollment, which will result in great budget and resources pressure. Moreover, the more college students, the less value of the degree. It may go against the original selective purpose of the higher education. So I don’t think it’s wise to make university education for all.
12. Do you think university education is important?
In my opinion, for general people, attending college is very important to help us gain success in career. Nowadays, attending college is not only a process of accumulating knowledge, but also the recognition of your abilities by the society. With a college degree, you’ll get more chances of future career success. Furthermore, attending college will make you respected by the society and give you more opportunities of promotion. So although there are some exceptions such as Bill Gates, I believe attending college will prepare you much better for future.
13. Do you agree or disagree: “The most important lesson can’t be learned in class.”
I highly agree that the most important lesson can’t be learned in class. Sometimes practical experience is more important. For example, a student major in chemistry may know the textbooks or chemical principles very well, but still can encounter numerous problems and difficulties in a real chemical experiment without any practice. In addition, practice is the only criteria of truth. What you have learned in class is very limited and even false, so you shouldn’t be superstitious about textbooks. Practice need to be paid more attention to.
14. Is it important for students to attend class regularly or study by themselves?
I think it’s more important for students to study by themselves. Firstly, classes given by teachers are designed for most of the students. You may find you are not getting enough from the class or you can’t catch up with the class. In such a case, studying by oneself is crucial to improve your learning efficiency. Furthermore, studying by oneself will help you to find out your weak points as well as what you are good at, which is benefit to you to make schedule and formulate your study plans. So I hold that study by oneself is more important.
15. Do you think music and art classes should be offered in high school?
I agree with that music and art classes should be offered in high school, because there are a group of students that are interested in this area and plan to choose either of them as their future career. In addition, music and art would make the day more alive and interesting, which in turn leads to more learning. It may serve as the major source of joy and relax students during their endless scientific classes. I also think music and art education can develop creativity and personality (spirit of diligence and perseverance) which will benefit your study and career.
16. Do you agree that it is a great choice to learn a musical instrument?
I strongly agree that it is a great choice to learn a musical instrument, for example, a piano. First of all, learning how to play a piano is a long-term process, that is to say, it is a nice method to strengthen willpower. Moreover, learning it can make me understand music better and cultivate my emotional intelligence. In addition, I can perform a melody for my friends in a party. That’s cool, isn’t it?
17. Do you like to do research by using Internet or reference books?
Actually, both of internet and academic books are helpful in doing research, but nowadays I think internet is much better. Firstly, internet contains such a tremendous amount of information that academic books can never compare with. You may also raise a question about a topic and ask for help on the internet. Furthermore, it’s more efficient and convenient to use the internet; all you need is a computer, while carrying books around here and there can be very heavy. So I’d like to search online.
18. Do you agree that students will learn more when they have discussions?
I agree that students will learn more when they have discussions. Firstly, it’s inevitable for each of us to encounter problems when we study on work assignment. At this time group discussions will be very helpful because we can share our knowledge and learn a lot from others. Furthermore, group members will help you to find out and overcome your shortcomings. Besides, group study is also a chance to communicate with others and exercise how to express ourselves. So I agree that students will learn more when they have discussions.
19. Do you agree that students should wear uniform in school?
I tend to disagree that students need to wear uniform in school. Firstly, wearing uniform doesn’t represent a better performance in school. I think it doesn’t matter what students wear as long as they are doing fine. In addition, school should encourage students to express themselves or develop their personality. School can make some restrictions to prevent certain inappropriate clothes. Asking students to dress the same everyday may have a negative influence on their psychology. So I don’t support wearing uniform in school.
I consider that students should not have to wear the school uniforms. First of all, young people often express their feelings through the clothing that they wear. Uniforms will take away this form of expression. Moreover, I think that our school uniforms are too traditional, especially in colors and styles. In summer, girls must wear skirts but I like trousers. In addition, the weather changes every moment. Students can not adapt to the environment wearing one or two uniforms.
20. Do you think students should take a long vacation or several short vacations in a year?
I support the idea of students having several short vacations throughout a year. Firstly, short vacations are a great relaxation after busy final exams. We can be with family, visit friends, go to concerts and do many other things besides classes. Furthermore, students wouldn’t forget what they have learned and will be more focused on their classes when they return to school if their vacation time is divided up throughout the year. And I also think short vacations are safe for students who have a travel plan. So I find many advantages of short vacations compared with a longer one.
