Compare the different kinds of transportation you could use. Tell which method of travel you would choose. Give specific reasons for yourchoice.If I had to travel 40 miles away from my home I would be considering the following means of transportations: a car, bicycle and bus. Every of this methods of transportation has advantages as well as disadvantages. In this essay I will analyze all of them and present my view in favor of traveling by a car.Traveling by bus brings many benefits. First of all, one does not have to drive. So, I can just relax and enjoy the view from my window. Second of all, it is cheaper. I will not have to buy gasoline or pay for the car insurance. However, traveling by bus has a few disadvantages as well. For example, I will have to follow the bus schedule. Another important aspect, I will not be able to arrange the speed or make a stop when I need to.From the other hand, traveling by bicycle is a great exercise. Secondly, it is pollution free. However, It can take too much time and at the end of my trip I will be tired and exhausted. In addition, I will most likely need a shower and some rest.In contrast, traveling by car brings many advantages. First of all, I can arrange my speed as I want to. If I am in a hurry I will speed up a little. Otherwise, if I am not in a hurry, I can make some stops and enjoy the surroundings or have a lunch in the nearest bar. Second of all, I do not depend on a schedule like with traveling by bus. So, I can start my trip when and where I want to. In addition to those practical benefits, traveling by car is the fastest way. Another important aspect of this if I am traveling with my friends, we can talk, listen to the radio we like and discuss everything we want. A car can give us privacy. Of cause, I will have to pay for gasoline and traveling by car is not as save as traveling by bicycle or bus but I think it can not change my mind.To sum up, I think that I would choose to travel by car. It is more convenient and offers a great amount of advantages.3 Job and CareerDifference Between Job and CareerWhile both a job and a career involve getting up and going to work in the morning, there is a huge difference in the mindset of a person holding a job and the mindset of a person with a career. The differences don’t necessarily come from salary or benefits. They might not even come from the difficulty of the work. The major difference between a job and a career comes from howyou look at your work and how much you like doing your work.Job ‘“ People with a job may plan to hold it for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely. A job is a means to earn money either for schooling, family, travel, etc. Once the need for that income is eliminated, most people are more than happy to quit their job. They may later take up a new job in a similar or different field.Career ‘“ People view their career as a life-long endeavor. While they might not plan to be at the same company, they hope to do the same type of work until they retire. Many career people continue with their career as a consultant or advisor after they officially retire.Summary:1.A job and a career both involve going to work.2.The mindset of a job holder is focused on security and money while the mindset of a career person is focused on innovation and risk-taking.3.Most people see their job as a means to an end while most people see their career as an end in itself.How to Find a Good JobNowadays, more and more university graduates complain that graduation does not equate to employment. They experience great difficulties finding satisfactory jobs. But the saying goes Everything is difficult to begin. In my opinion, before finding a job, they should do some preparations.First, when they are in school, they should make good use of their time and put their heart into their studies. They can hold part-time jobs in their spare time to get some work experience. Second, They should take part in some social activities and provide themselves with special training so that they are more confident and courageous enough to face fairly good jobs or certain positions require.Do those things above, I believe once they go out of the campus, they won’t feel bewildered. However, that’s not all. To find a good job, a good application letter and a job interview which are also important. On the other hand, they can ask for jobs by E-mail, friends and the other ways. In a word, want to find a good job, they should catch every chance and keep learning. At last but not least, more confident more chances.In a word, The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to start well in your career.4 Interpersonal RelationshipThe Importance of Interpersonal RelationshipWith the development of our society, the connection between people becomes inevitable. People need to communicate with others as long as they are in the world. As a result, the interpersonal relationship becomes more and more important.随着社会的发展，人与人之间的沟通变得不可避免。

6.What do you think are the things that contribute to a successful marriage?.The success of a marriage is due to many factors, of which love is obviously the most important one. Other factors, which are not entirely unrelated to love, include shared values and interests, mutual understanding, commitment, effective communication, similar educational background, equal economic status, physical fitness, etc.. Similar educational background and intelligence levels are also considered important by some people. They believe that only with mutual appreciation and understanding, can the couple get along easily and happily.Why do people get divorced? Can you guess some of the reasons?.Sometimes it is because the couple did not really understand each other before the marriage, as love was blind at that time. After marriage, they see each other's shortcomings more clearly. When disappointment grows beyond control, divorce becomes inevitable..Sometimes it is because one of the couple has changed after the marriage. For example, after the husband is promoted to a leading position, he may have a hectic time all year round, with hardly any time left to be with his wife. Sometimes one of the couple has lost his or her job and becomes irritable. Due to the continual quarrelling at home, the family breaks up. some Western and Chinese holidays or festivals that seem to be similarly important, and explain why they are important.There are a number of Western festivals, such as Christmas, Boxing Day, Thanksgiving Day, New Year's Day, New Year's Eve, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. There are also a number of traditional festivals in China, such as the Spring Festival (or the Chinese New Year), the Lantern Festival, the Pure Brightness Festival (or Qingming Festival or the Tomb-Visiting Festival), the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double-Ninth Festival (or the Seniors' Day), etc.Spring Festival—customs. “S weeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough clean ing of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year.. Many people like to paste “Spring Couplets” and paper-cuts to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people looking forward to a good life.. On the first day of lunar New Year, people give New Year’s greetings to each other. Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is often inaccurately called “Lunar New Year”. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year‘s Eve, a day where Chinese families gather fortheir annual reunion dinner, is known as chúxī(除夕).Christmas—customs. On Christmas every family will prepare a Christmas tree and have a big dinner.. Santa Claus go out at night and bring gifts to the needy. He is a fat jolly man who wears a red suit, a red hat and has a long white beared.. On Christmas morning, the first thing for many people is gather around the Christmas tree to exchange gifts and Merry Christmas greeting with each other. Christmas is a traditional festival in western countries.It is a christian holiday that celebrates the birth of jesus Christ every year on dec.25. Families celebrate Spring Festival or Christmas together.8.It is sometimes claimed that many holidays have been created just to encourage people to spend money. Do you agree?It is true that business people are seeking every opportunity to promote sales.So, for holidays, they try to sell cards, flowers and gifts. When people are happy preparing for a festival, they are willing to spend money, and businessmen have taken advantage of their generosity.So, in a sense, many holidays have been commercialized, though we have the right not to buy. But on the other hand, festivals endure mainly because they allow us to express our feelings. When Pilgrims wanted to express their gratitude to "God" for a good harvest, they created Thanksgiving Day. When people wanted to express their affection for their mothers and lovers, they introduced Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Ancient Chinese had great respect for the elderly, and this might have given rise to the Double-Ninth Day.9.What will you choose between a low-paid job you like and a boring well-paid job?Choice of the jobs depands an the situation.If i am in need of money,fpr example,i have to pay for the living cost,i will take the well-paid job.Otherwise t will take the job that i am interested.Cause i think happiness can also bring me money although it is not too much,but money can not bring me happy.i can not use money buy happiness or true love i want.Money does not meas everything.Do you think one's character is important in finding a job? Why or why not?I think it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates' educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates' character is equally important for a successful career. In contemporary society, many projects are so large that they require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person's effort. Therefore, a good team player is often welcomed. Professionally skilled peoplemay not be able to accomplish a large project if they are easily angered and cannot get along with their colleagues. If you want to assume a leading position, you should be firm on important issues while allowing your subordinates plenty of freedom. In fact, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to test candidates' EQ (emotional quotient) before they decide to hire them.10.What do you think are important in finding a job?

Topics for the oral exam (2014.12)1.What do you remember about learning gender roles when youwere a child?Now I say something about learning gender roles when I was a child.As a girl, when I was a little girl I always liked to play with my mother’s things, especially her jewelry and makeup. However, I often break them, so my mom would not allow me to play her things. Since I was three years old my parents are very busy for their work，hardly have any spare time to take care of me. So I often play with my elder brother, He was five years older than me,he take care of me particularly good, gradually, I liked to play with my brother’s things, for example, his toy cars、toy gun and Transformers. And in my opinion he is a particularly powerful people, so many things I would liked to learn from him.So that , even at school, I remember talking with other girls about toy cars, toy gun, and other aspects of the boy's toy. So, Until now, my character is also like a boy.pare and contrast the traditional Chinese gender-rolepatterns and the modern Chinese gender-role patterns.Now I say something about compare the traditional Chinese gender-role patterns with the modern Chinese gender-role patterns.Traditionally, gender roles in China were affected by Confucianism, with men being the string leaders of the family, and women having less power. Usually the man go out to work to make money, and the woman stay at home do the housework and take care of the members of the family.But this pattern has changed over time, the modern Chinese gender-role patterns are very different with the traditional Chinese gender-role patterns. Now women are equal to men, even in some families the status of the women is higher than the men. And now some women have high positions in business、science and other fields. In some families also appeared such phenomenon, the woman go out to work to make money, and the man stay at home do the housework and take care of the members of the family. On the other hand, it may still be difficult for women toopportunities in school or at work.3.Do you think all immigrants should try to assimilate? Whyor why not?Now I say something about the question of whether all immigrants should try to assimilate. Yes, I think all immigrants should try to assimilate.The first reason, because they will gain more from living abroad if they learn at least some of local language and customs. They will make more friends and have more opportunities.And the second reason, every country has its own custom and culture, the immigrants should We have to recognize and respect the custom and cultural differences,so as to prevent any possible misunderstanding. For example, I see a piece of news from the Internet, this news is description about ,in Canada, they like Chinese money, but not necessarily welcome china immigration way of life, especially the latter are considered ‘disturbed’ National Aboriginal life.So I think all immigrants should try to assimilate, at the same time, they can keep themselves.4.Would you rather go to a national park or an interesting city?State your reasons.I think for a national park and an interesting city, I would rather go to a national park.One of the most important reason is that I love the nature. And the goal of national parks is to preserve natural areas in their wild state of people like me to enjoy. Here you can feel the body and mind are particularly ually we are studying or working in the city, and often feel great pressure for us, so relaxing for us is necessary.And another reason is that in the national park will have a lot of rare plant and animal. Here you can see something that you can not fond in other zoo or park. So here not only can broaden our horizons, but also the best place for us to study.So I think if we have a vacation go to a national parkis avery good choice for us. You will not be disappointed.5.Do you think the advantages of World Heritage Statusoutweigh the disadvantages? Why or why not? (For this topic, an example can be given to explain.)Yes, I think the advantages of World Heritage Status outweigh the disadvantages.I think the most important reason is that if the place become the World Heritage, the important places are being preserved as a result of their status. And the relevant departments will give more attention on this place, and there will have more laws to protect it.This will ensure that more of the good things be long preserved.One of other reason is that these places attract a lot of tourists , Can give local people to provide more opportunities to make money and they also benefit economically.And for example, Mount Wuyi is The World Heritage, and is The World Cultural and Natural double Heritage.Mount Wuyi is located in the Wuyishan city in Fujian Province.Mount Wuyi Is the earth the same latitude area to protect the best and the most abundant species ecological system, has 2527 kinds of plant species, nearly 5000 kinds of wild animals.So I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.6.What are some advantages and disadvantages of having yourown business?Now I say something about advantages and disadvantages of having your own business.To my opinion I think one of the advantage of owning your own business is that the profit the business makes belongs to the owner. And another advantage is that a person can control his working hours and the flexibility to make changes when necessary. And do not need to worry about being blamed from the leadership.However, everything has two sides, there will be some of disadvantages of having your own business. The first is that he must be having responsibility for everything, whether thebusiness is doing well or badly, so theywill face greater pressure. And starting a business requires a lot of money.7.Share one or more of your minor stories with us.I say something minor stories in my life.When I was twelve years old, I had a serious illness and the doctor told my parents, ’your daughter can not go to school everyday and she should be hospi talized for observation’. So my parents decided to let me have remained off school for a whole year. And the next year, I want to another school to continue my study.Maybe for other it is very common, but it has a great influence on my life.In this school, have a math teacher, I think she is one of my best teacher. She love every student, even if the studentdon’t good at study.When I came to this school, I was not good at study. But, under her encouragement my grade gradually improve.And also in this school, I know my best friends. Beginning of high school, we don’t study in the same class. But now, our relationship is still very good.So I think the minor story have a great change for me.8.Share your experience with some home remedies with us. Now I say something about home remedies. And I think some home remedies are very effective. Then I give some examples about home remedy.The first is that ,if you caught in the heavy rain, and In order to avoid catching a cold, you can take a big cup of hot ginger.The second is that, If you have been bitten by a mosquito or other insect, feel special to itch, you can constantly rubbing with salt in itchy place.And another home remedy is that, if you have catch a cough, you can eat some stewed Pear with loquat leaf and Rock Candy. In my opinion, these methods are very useful in many cases.9.Talk about and share the possible ways of protecting someendangered animals.Now I say something about the possible ways of protecting some endangered animals.First, I think study hard is a very important way of protecting endangered animal. Because we need science and technology to help us to do lots of things. For example, we need better weapons to fight with poachers.The second, I think the poachers should be punished in law.If we do it like this, the hunters will become fewer and fewer. We also need to protect the environment so that animals can have a good living environment. The more we cut these down, theendangered animals can survive.And we must let the public know that protecting the animals is necessary to achieve the continuity of social development and protect ourselves.（注：文档可能无法思考全面，请浏览后下载，供参考。
