I agree that Chinese food is healthier for you than foreign food. Chinese food usually includes plenty of whole grains, vegetables and good source of calcium, which are considered healthy and nutrious. Besides this, Chinese people pay special attention to the ways of cooking food. The color, the smell and the taste are all taken into consideration as they might affect one’s appetite. However, most foreign meals contain more fat and are baked or fried, which may cause them to lose flavour. Chinese food is now eaten by one third of the world’s population every day and is widely considered easy to cook, economical and tasty.I don’t agree that Chinese food is healthier for you than foreign food. The traditional Chinese way of cooking vegetables may cause vitamins to be lost. Besides this, Chinese people use too much oil and salt in cooking, which might cause many health problems. However, foreign food, known for its varied flavours and spices, is rapidly becoming a trend worldwide.4. Someone told me that having a good job doesn’t necessarily make you happy. That might be true, but in my opinion, a good job is necessary if I want to be happy in the future. There are many reasons for this. First, a good job canoffer us a good salary. Money is not everything, but we can’t afford many things we needwithout it. Second, a high-paying job is always a big challenge. I enjoy being challenged. Furthermore, a good salary may offer us more oportunities to help others and to relax.I don’t agree that I must have a good job if I want to be happy in the future. Before we discuss this, we need to talk about what true happiness is. True happiness is to feel and experience various things during our lives. We have more important things to value in life than a good salary.5. Some people believe that good marks indicate how clever you are, but I see things differently. School is not everything. Success and happiness can’t be measured by good marks. Students should not be so stressed out by their studies. This can often have a bad effect on their health. Even if we don’t get good marks in our studies, we can be successful in many other things in life. Good marks indicate how clever you are. That’s how I feel. Doing well in exams is the only way to succeed in a highly competitive world. Some people don’t think school is very important, but I disagree. Good marks show how well you have studied and how capable you are. This is what universities and employers care about.6. I think learning a foreign language is important. Language is an important tool for people to communicate with each other, as well as a way to pass on their culture and knowledge. Nowadays, the number of people travelling to other countries is increasing. Mastering a foreign language is becoming a mustfor them to live in a foreign country or understand other nationalities better.I don’t think that learning a foreign language is important. Take myself for example. I spent some time in Britain on an exchange programme. I spent a lot of time learning English before I went abroad. It has been almost two years since I came back and I have forgotten a lot of English because I hardly use it now. Spending too much time on a foreign language is a waste of time.Step 2: discussing friendship with others1.

Note the responses in the table.2.Discussion (pair work)Discuss the following statements on friendship and decide whether you agree or disagree with them.Friendship is an important part of my life.A good friend must be honest, kind and have a sense of humour.One or two good friends are better than 100 acquaintances.Skills building 3: checking your work1.lead-inWhat should we check for?Read the points on page 16 and find the answers.2.
