Describe a person that influenced you most.
Sample answer:
The person that really influenced me mostwas Ms. Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature.
Her class was quite different from the other teachers. In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen. We had to get more involved in the class activities, like discussions, comments or debates sometimes.
Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation.
On the other hand, she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly, she taught me how to live on my own.
So that's why I was greatly influenced. Not only did shegive me knowledge, but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.

Which do you like to read, magazines,novels or poems? And why?
Sample answer:
I prefer magazines to fictions or poems,especially monthly magazines ‘cause they are like colorful flowers in a garden.They are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.
My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn't just stick to the same writers and trends. The presentation,theme, and subjects should vary to grab the interest of readers.
And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas.
I read five or six magazines permonth and I buy two magazines regularly---fashion and beauty magazines, ‘causethey are worth reading for their entertainment news and fashion and beautytips.
Sometimes the personality profiles(个人档案/简介) ofsuccessful business icons(这里指“人物”) are also fun to read.

Describe a place for a trip.
Sample answer:
I would go to New Zealand for a trip if I had a chance. It's a lovely country, made up two islands. It is very lush(青葱的) and green because it rains a lot there. I would do a lot of different things and one thing I would definitely do is to swim with the dolphins.
One of my friends ever did it, which she said was very interesting. At first, she was only brave enough to pat them and then she got braver and held on to one's fin while it took her for a swim.
They moved very quickly and gracefully through the water and it was fascinating(棒极了). So the place for a trip would be New Zealand!

Describe a social or political celebration event in your culture.
Sample answer:
A type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising ceremony on National Day. Oceans of(表示“许多”) people from all across the country come to Beijing the day before.
They are very excited to see the ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been planting this dream in the irmind for years.
They arrive around 6:00 early in the morning, waiting for thespecial moment. I guess they are all overwhelmed(震撼的) and thrilled(激动) by the wonderful scene at the time.
On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is fantastic, the guards allwearing the green military uniform and marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit.
Each birthday celebration of the great country always begin with such asolemn(庄严的)flag-raising ceremony, which strengthensthe unity and motivation of its people.

Do you agree that childhood is the happiest (ormost precious) time in life?
Sample answer:
Generally speaking, childhood years are the happy or precious time of one'slife. However, it is hardly appropriate to say those years are the happiest orthe most precious.
It is a fact that childhood, as the earliest part of one's life, has lesspressure, fewer worries and concerns than adulthood. The time, however, may notnecessarily be happy, for there are various factors that are involved inhappiness.
It depends on the individual and the family they were born into. Ifa person had grown up in a healthy family, s/he would have had a happy time inhis/her childhood years.
In addition, the other stages of life are also as precious and happy aschildhood ‘cause a person may have the happiest moment in every stage ofhis/her life if s/he is smart enough. Therefore, I disagree that childhood isthe happiest (or most precious) time in life.

Someone focuses on one job throughout his life, others like to change from one job to the other. Which onedo you think is better, why?
Sample answer:
Most of people choose their jobs according to their own working perceptions(理解), so their expectations for jobs are different.
Each viewpoint has its advantages. For the former one, the constant job canprovide people with stability, which will stimulate them to work harder. While,for the latter one, people will face more challenges and opportunity whenjumping to another job.
However, there are also downsides for the two points. When people have workedfor a company for a long time, they may easily lose the innovation(创新), because they are too comfortable to change theircurrent working conditions.
Those who often change their jobs have to acquiretime for them to adapt to new surroundings, which brings obstacles to a companyat the rapid development.
Since these two points of view have both pros andcons, no matter which one people select, the suitable one is the best one.

Some people prefer to get information through printed materials like books. Other people like to do that via the Internet. which way do you prefer and why? (Which do you prefer,e-reading or traditional look reading? )
Sample answer:
Some people prefer e-reading ‘cause it's fast and convenient. But in my opiniontraditional reading is better for three reasons.
First, paper reading doesn't have as much bad effect on our eyes as computerreading. Even after two or three consecutive hours’ reading, my eyes won’thurt. Second, the printed word gives more comfort, enjoyment or personal touchthan electronic text. I like the feeling of turning the page and taking noteson the book.
Third, though computers are changing the reading habits, the longtradition of printed word may yet not be. Most people still read printed books,magazines and newspapers to get their information.
Therefore, I prefer traditional book reading to e-reading.

Should government give financial support to build museums and the aters? State your opinion and explain why.
Sample answer:
In my point of view, government should provide fund to build museums andtheaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about thehistory and culture of the country.
The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history andarchaeology(考古学), of natural historyand even museums for such things as transport and crime! And because themuseums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is always somethingdifferent to see.
Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays ofdifferent regions. Even the world's best group come occasionally. Meanwhile,the building of the museums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchangebetween countries.
They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the nationaleconomy.
That's why I think it's a good idea for government to help with the building ofmuseums and theaters.

Where do you learn more from, media like newspapers, TV , Internet or people like friends, family and teachers?
Sample answer:
I think I learn more from people rather than media. I’ll take my mother as anexample. When life seems hopeless, she is always there to help me every step ofthe way and she maintains everything will be fine unless I myself give up.
I’mencouraged not only by her inspiring(令人鼓舞的) words but also by her action. By taking action, shehas never been overwhelmed by pressure, adversity(困境) and even danger.
Also when I feel blue(情绪低落) sometimes, I would turn to my classmates or friendsfor cheering up and comfort.
While, media like TV or Internet can only equip mewith(以…武装) knowledge and information, they are incapable ofgiving me spiritual satisfaction(精神上的满足).
So I learn about life, how to stay strong more from people around me than from the media.

Do you think sports courses should be a require dpart of every school day?
Sample answer:

First of all, doing sports helps maintain the physical fitness of students.Movement coming from physical exertion during exercise promotes circulation ofblood to all parts of the body. Thus, it results in vigor and stamina whichhelp to prevent diseases and sickness.
Moreover, exercise develops sportsmanship among students. When they play as ateam, they are able to identify their role and worth to reach the same goal. Italso helps enrich/promote/improve their friendship and personality.
Therefore, I think sports courses should be mandatory (必修的)in school.
