So, which do you think is more important? the delicious food or healthy food?B: In my opinion, Health is the most important. Food is a factor that cannot be ignored in our health.I have paid more attention to my diet, and avoid eating too much stimulating food, even thoughit is delicious. What’s about you?A: Yeah, I used to choose delicious food, but now I think I should also pay attention to the health of my diet. What kind of diet can be called health.B: First of all, we should understand the human body's need for nutrition, not too little or too much.Generally speaking, the foods like rice and potato are most demanding, followed by vegetables and fruits, and then we need the right amount of beans and dairy products, finally meat and oil are the least. But delicious food often contains excess oil and fat, which is not good for health.A: I agree with you, in addition to the balance of nutrition, I think some habit about eating are also important, such as, we need eat on time, and avoid overeating in the evening. That is to say, the nutrients and energy we need are different. So, we need appropriate food during different times.But said so much, I still cannot give up junk food completely Because it's very convenient and deliciousB: Me too, it is ok if not too often. My teacher is calling me, see you next time.A: See you.Transportation and trafficA: How was the meeting late? The boss was angry with you.B: I'm really fed up with the public transport in Wuhan. The traffic jam lasted from 7 to 8 o’clock.I can't do anything on the bus. Next year I must to buy a car.A: Don't you think traffic jam is due to the more and more private cars?B: I don't think so.

Besides, how to solve the problem of parkingB: This is a real trouble. The parking of roadside vehicles is also an important cause of congestion.Do you have any good ideas about traffic jam?A: I think private cars should be only allowed to drive on the outskirts of the city, let the bus have better road conditions.

I want to have a clear separation between work hours and life time, at once I have finished my work, I don’t want to be bothered by it.A: This is really a special idea. It's getting late. I have to go to a meeting with my teacher.

Next is don’t be shy, if you are active and say hello to others, it will be easier to be acquainted. Final, we shouldn’t be selfish.

They will only give you a little time to visit the sights and spend a lot of your time at shopping. I've been through this case many times.A: I know what you're talking about. But the traffic between the scenic spots and the hotel reservation in different locations is too complicated. The travel agency can help you arrange this better.B: But don't you worry about time being wasted on unnecessary trips?A: My idea is to visit this city in Kunming first, and then take a short tour of local travel agencies if I need to go to other remote areas, like one day or two days.

But in my opinion, there is another significant factor, the location.B: Yeah, It's also important. There are many advantages when the location is perfect. If a house you buy near a large supermarket and the hospital, the life will be very convenient, we can buy a lot of things we need without having to take more than one hour to the city Centre.A: I agree with that. Our happiness increases dramatically when we can conveniently get what we want. Another important point is that if there is a school nearby, it must more convenient. The kids don’t have to take bus or subway to school.B: You’re right. If a child takes an hour to go to school, he will feel very tired. Transportation is also an important factor. The most convenient transportation now is the subway, not the car, because the car may be stuck on the road at any time, and the subway can guarantee us get to the destination on time.A: When you're in a hurry to get somewhere, it must have dispirited you when get stuck in traffic.B: En, I think these factors are all important, but it's hard for us to find a house that meets these conditions at the same time, but we still need to keep trying.A: I wish it.Past and futureA: Have you seen the latest news?

Except the long-time interval between the delivery, the great possibility of missing also make it quite inconvenient. Now, through the Internet, a mobile phone can receive information from all over the world.B: In the future, once the large-scale application of quantum theory in communication technology is realized, the sending and receiving of information can be simultaneous, which is faster than electromagnetic wave propagation. This also makes it possible for instant interplanetary communication in the future.A: Also, quantum always shows up with another one, which means that in the future communication information is almost impossible to leak.B: Yes, that's an important point. Even with top communication devices, our information security is not one hundred percent safe.
