Task1
Sometimes people behave impolitely in public. Describe a time when an impolite behavior annoyed you. Explain why you were annoyed.
Sample response:
I’d like to talk about an annoying thing took place in the hospital half a year ago. It was a cold winter morning, I got up very early to check in at the hospital for my sick father. Many people were standing in the line waiting for their turns anxiously. Suddenly, a young guy jumped the queue in front of me without saying anything. I was annoyed and stopped this impolite behavior from happening. But he shouted at me rudely, “Shut up!I do like jumping queues.It’s none of your business!”Many people in the hospital were disturbed by his loud and rude voice. We all stared at him angrily.Finally, he left without apologizing. It still makes me mad whenever I think of that guy’s disgusting behavior. So it ‘s really important to behave politely in public. Uncivilized behavior in public places causes trouble to others.
Task2
If someone donates a piece of land to your community, should it be used to construct an amusement center or grow plants and flowers?
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 support to use the piece of land to grow plants and flowers due to the flowing reasons.
First of all, growing plants and flowers in the land can benefit more people. As we all know, not all the ages of people have interest in an amusement center which is too noisy. But a peaceful and quiet garden which is full of green plants and beautiful flowers is a better place for nearly everyone to relax. Take the community I live in for example, there are always many people in the nice garden chatting, exercising or even reading. But the number of people in the amusement center is much smaller, most of them are the same group of people who often play Mahjong. Some people even smoke a lot there, which is really unhealthy. Obviously, producing fresh air is another benefit of growing plants and flowers in the land.
