TASK1
1. What is the one thing foreign tourist need to pay attention to before they visit your country? Explain why? Include details and examples in your explanation.
First of all, since they are visitors, they don’t know the block or tourist attractions quiet well. If they can speak a little bit expressions about asking direction, they will make the journey easier and more convenient. They may save much time on finding the way. Additionally, visitors normally are crazy about shopping; at least they are willing to buy some souvenirs for their friends or family. However, street vendors who always cheat visitors are not reliable. Vendors are easy to sell goods in higher price. But, if visitors can speak some simple words to bargain, there will be less cheat and more money-saving.
2. Some people believe that we should help those in an emergency. Others think that we should first make clear of the situation, then decide whether to assist or not. What’s your opinion?
I definitely agree with that one should observe before helping others when there is an emergency. Firstly, you must keep your mind clear if you are able to help solving the problem, otherwise you may do nothing but even put yourself in danger. For example, if the rescue needs more people or other tools, you should stop and think about where to get them. If you try to move a patient who just had a heart attack, it might even cause death. Sometimes it's best to get the professionals to deal with the situation than trying to cope with it yourself. So I think one should observe before helping others.
3. Nowadays many people find their social network on the internet. Do you think it is a positive trend?
While networking on the internet provides instant access to different groups and individuals, allowing us to interact with each other regardless of geological location or timeframe of availability, it also has some significant drawbacks. It's not always safe to network online. The interconnectivity of social networking sites is one of its biggest selling points, but it also comes with a serious drawback. If you're not careful, you can leave yourself open to stalkers, cyberbullying and other forms of harassment, as unwelcome individuals make contact with you through the site.
4. What are common mistakes when parents educate their children?
Parents make many mistakes when educating their children, but two main ones are not being involved and being too hard. First, some parents leave the entire task of education to the school system. However, the school system can only focus on a few things, so parents must be involved so that the child is well-rounded. Second, some parents are too hard on their children. No matter what the child does, the parent never appears pleased. The child may give up because he or she thinks that something is impossible. Instead of pushing the child to higher levels, the parent accidentally crushes the child’s motivation.
Not being involved and being too hard are common mistakes made by parents when educating their children.
