Q1

Which of the following features do you think is the most important in friendship:

honesty, loyalty or humor? Please include specific examples and details in your

explanation.

Sample answer

I think the most important quality in friendship is loyalty. Loyalty means always being

honest to your friends and staying right beside them when they feel down. I'd love to

talk about Tom. We've been good friends since we were kids. Once I forgot to bring

my lunch to school, Tom immediately took out his lunch and gave it to me. Besides,

he is always the first one to point out my weakness directly. Thanks to his

straightforwardness, I made quite a progress. I really appreciate his loyalty and treat

him as my lifelong friend.

Q1

Which important skill do you think a student should learn? Please include specific

examples and details in your explanation.

Sample answer

I think students need to learn communication skills. It is impossible to overstate the

importance of good communication skills. In today's society we have to work

cooperatively with others. A good communicator finds it easier to put forth his ideas

clearly. In this way, there will be fewer misunderstandings. In addition, a person with

good communication skills is a good mediator and negotiator. He or she can play a

valuable role in resolving disputes and enhancing cooperation. This means that a good

communicator is often a natural leader.

in the vase as well. She wrote me back and encouraged me to be more confident and

optimistic. That evening, I prepared a big dinner for my parents and gave them a toast

Q1

What's the most important quality a good neighbor should have? Include reasons and

details to support your response.

Sample answer

In my opinion, a good neighbor should be trustworthy. A neighbor always has some

knowledge about what is going on in the four boundaries of a house. This is because

he lives so close to you; he can hear your voice, see your appearances, observe who

comes to your house and who goes at what time. Basically, a neighbor can gossip

about half of the things happening in your life, and that is where the quality of a good

neighbor comes in. A good neighbor should be trustworthy and sensible enough to not

leak out others' family secrets.

dumplings. When I am at home, my parents often cook for me. Also, a mature living
