Besides, I can enjoy movies, listen to music, watch TV and the online chatting.话题九 WeatherIn Western countries,people like to start a conversation by asking a question about the weather. It's a safe topic for people to talk about, because this topic will not hurt anyone. Here in Beijing, we have four seasons: spring,summer, autumn and winter. In spring,it is warm and the leaves on the trees begin to turn green and flowers begin to come out. But it is so windy and dusty that I can't go out to play, so I don't like it.

Besides, I can enjoy movies, listen to music, watch TV and the online chatting.话题九 WeatherIn Western countries,people like to start a conversation by asking a question about the weather. It's a safe topic for people to talk about, because this topic will not hurt anyone. Here in Beijing, we have four seasons: spring,summer, autumn and winter. In spring,it is warm and the leaves on the trees begin to turn green and flowers begin to come out. But it is so windy and dusty that I can't go out to play, so I don't like it.

The points can be redeemed for a free flight. I was attracted by this. Lisa: free flight is wonderful, But you should not forget that the benefit comes from a price one has paid. You must cost a lot of money so that you can get the enough points.Robin: Don't worry. If my mother or father want to buy something, I’ll borrow my credit card to them. They’ll give the money back to me and at the same time, I get the points.Lisa: But I really doubt that whether you can earn the enough points to redeem the flight ticket in such a limited time.

I need enough money to do the things I like.A: As for me, salary would not be the priority. I’d rather choose a job I enjoy doing.B: I think I’ll stick my choice. In fact, most people don’t take job for fun. Work is nothing but means to survive.A: I can’t agree with you. I consider work as an important part of our life. So I think it’s advisable to take a job you like, which makes you full of motivation to do it well.B: For me, high salary is just the best motivation to do my job efficiently. “Work hard and play hard” is my motto.A:But for me, I think it’s a waste of precious lifetime if a person takes a job he doesn’t like, and there’s less possibility to get a career success.B: To me, as long as the job offers me a high salary I will foster my interest in it and I will do my best to make the job success.A: I got it. You mean that we must consider about our life cost first, and second our interest. That’s the reality everyone faces.B: Yeah. So, although the chance of finding a job that both pays well and attracts us is slight, let’s believe in miracles and have a try.A: Wish you a good luck.B: Thank you, the same to you.8CultureA: Good morning!B: Good morning!A: I saw you were just reading China daily. Is there anything interesting? B: Yes, maybe the news that China set up its first Laozi research institute will arouse your interestA: Oh, yes, I heard about it too. It shows that we begin to pay attention to the Chinese traditional culture.B: Traditional culture is our precious heritage, it is what we should be proud of, but nowadays more and more people become unfamiliar with it. A: That’s because lately years, our country focus on the economic construction and overemphasize the importance of science and technology. Youth admire the modern western civilization, and ignore our own culture.I really think we should add the traditional culture courses in our education system.B: Well, that is really a problem worth discussing. Do you know that there is a modern sishu in Suzhou and in it teachers wear a long traditional Chinese robe, and the students have to bow to an image of Confucius hanging on the wall.A: That sounds interesting. But, is it just a teaching form or something? What the children learn there and does this method work?B: Oh,it is not just a form. In the modern sishu students will read a lot of morality stories and ancient poetry, it will help them to learn the essence of our ancient culture which makes a person to be polite, upright and so on.A: Great! That is just what most of us can’t learn in the school teaching nowadays.B:Yes, everyone must understand which kind of culture should be inherit, and which not. That’s really not an easy work.A:I agree with you, it’s a long way to go for us.9 HealthA: Good morning, Dennis.B: Good morning, Nero.A: You look not very good today, what happened?B: Oh, thanks to the severe weather and endless work, I catch a cold. A: Poor people, you should have taken good care of yourself. You know, body is the base of fighting.B: I know, so I decide give myself several days off to relax.A: Good decision.work will never finish, so you needn’t to worry much about it. What’s more, you can’t have a high efficiency when you catch a cold. B: I agree with you, I’ll tell to the boss about it and ask a sick leave. A: Anyway, do you have any medicine? You look really bad.B: Medicine? That is not my first choice. I haven’t took medicine for five years.A: Five years? Is it true? Is this your first time to be sick in the past five years?B: Of cause not, you must be kidding.A: Sick-medicine, is it an unwritten rule?B: But there is also an old saying that medicine is also a poison.A: But it’s very dangerous if you don’t take medicine when get sick, even be life-threatening.B: Oh, you are too serious, it just a cold and I don’t have a fever. I know my situation.A: But you must do something, or it will become worse.B: When I have a little sick, I will take more rest, drink more water and eat some delicious fruits and vegetable.A: Sounds reasonable.
