Topics for Discussion1.Does “moving up the economic ladder” mean success? Why or why not? What other things do you thinkcan mean success?No, Many people believe that a large income means success. But in my opinion, that success is more than money, and there are more gauges of success, such as fame, respect, and knowledge.Most people assume that famous people are rich, but that isn’t always true. For example, many scientists are not rich by today’s standards, but they are successful in their fields. Addit ionally, there are many famous statesmen who are not rich. The late premier Zhou En Lai was one. Certainly, no one would say he was not successful.I also believe that being respected by others indicates success. Without the respect, money means little. Fo r example, I once worked in a restaurant. The boss made a very good income, but he wasn’t a nice man. No one ever did work for him willingly. He ordered everyone around, but we didn’t respect him. In contrast, I had an English teacher in high school. He had to take extra jobs to make enough money to support his family. However, we had great respect for him and always listened to what he said. As a result, we were a top class in English. In my opinion, my English teacher was more successful than my boss at the restaurant.Finally, I think one of the most important indicators of success is knowledge. For example, Qian Zhong-Shu, one of the world’s best-known writers, had a broad horizon and profound knowledge. He wrote the best-selling novel A surrounded City, which has been translated into 80 languages and published in almost all parts of the world. In my opinion, he was extremely successful.When we look back in history, there are few people that we remember them because of their rich. Overall, we remember people who did something with their lives. They were influential in their own lives or contributed to society. If history is the ultimate judge of success, then money surely isn’t everything.2.What is your attitude toward the spread of surveillance technology?The surveillance technology is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can bring us the safety and convenience. For example，in the supermarket, the camera can tak e videos to record the people’s behavior. It ensure the safety of the goods and allows people carrying their own bags to go shopping. And the radioes can be an evidence if some cases occur. On the other hand, the abuse of surveillance technology will be a threat to privacy of people. Just like in the ATM, the thief install a microcamera to record the code of credit card, and stole money. And if there are lots of cameras on the street or in a room, it will make people in fear of security and even cause to a panic.In my opinion, the use of the surveillance technology should be under the control of the country and thelaw. The surveillance of surveillance technology is most important.3.To make the earth a better place to live on, what responsibility should be taken by every one of us?We should live a low-carbon life.The Earth left our so rich energy ,but because of the development of the world industrial economy, the fast increase of population, our living environment is become more and more worse, for example, the resources reduce, water pollution becomes worse.The environment is seriously under threat and it is our responsibility to live a low-carbon lifestyle to protect our planet. Firstly, we should recognize that low-carbon life is not only a kind of life style but also life attitude. Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions.Low-carbon life needs everyone’s participation. Secondly, we should develop good habits in our daily lives. For example ,we can ride bicycles instead of driving cars. Also, we should turn off lights when we are not using them. Students should use both sides of the paper in their notebooks. These are just some of the things we can do to live a low-carbon lifestyle.We only have one planet and we must do all act now to save it from further pollution●Reducing the pollution and saving the resources,●Dealing with the rubbish, especially some electronic products like used batteries，mobilephone,computer and so on. There are some harmful metals in them, which will damage to the soil and water.●Another way to reduce the pollution is selecting a green way to travel,in order to decrease the car’snumber on the road and reduce the air pollution.Saving the resources require us to use recyclable things, do not waste energy and papers.4.What might be the benefits and risks of plastic surgeries in modern society? Would you try on any ofthem? Why or why not? [医]double-fold eyelids●The first benenfit of plastic surgeries is to improve someone’s appearance and mental outlook. A goodlook will make someone brave and confident to face the difficulties and challenges. Another benefit is that the surgeries can heal the damage of disfigured people suffering a fire or car accident. The surgeries can help them to recover their appearance, and send them to the normal life.●But all the surgeries have their risks, and having the plastics surgeries doesn’t mean that you canbecome beautiful. Sometimes it will make an unnatural and sick appearance. What’s worse, sometimes the failure of the surgeries cause the complications, leaving a scar in the skin or even leading to death.●In my opinion, ordinary people don’t need the plastic surgeries. The power and beauty are from what webelieve in, not what we look like. The benefit from beauty of appearance will not last forever, only the beauty of soul can be accepted by other people.5.Do you think manners are important in our daily life? Why or why not? Can you give some examples ofgood manners in the modern society?●It’s no doubt that the manners are important. Good manners make someone polite and friendly, and hewill be accepted easily. The good manners can make other people feel comfortable and let people become closer to each other. Sometimes the rude behaviors from others will make you unhappy or even angry. Sometimes the rude means to selfish because the rude people don’t consider to others’ feelings.●There are many examples of good manners. Such as in the subway or bus station, let the passenger getoff first, and offer your seat to the old people; open the door for other people especially women; get someone’s help and give a smile and thanks in return.6.Do you think you can increase happiness by learning some happiness skills? And how?●Yes of course. In my opinion, happiness is just like air, they’re always around us, but usually wedon’t notice them. But if we have learnt some skills,we will find the existense of happines with no doubt .what we need is to discover it.●First , find out the aim of the future. Trying to get it and become closer to it. The way to the successis filled up with happiness.●Secondly , we need friends. The good friends can share you with happiness and sadness, discusswith each other, teach each other, friends can help us to do sth we can’t do by ourselves. It’s important to have friends. When we give our friends a hand, or get some helps from them, the happiness is increased.●At last ,we should realise that happiness don’t only mean some happy memories. sth sad, exciting, orjust normal can increase the happiness. Just like the exam, the preparation before the examination always left a deeper impression than the entertainment after the exam.。

Maybe four important elements I will take i nto consideration are interest, salary, location and working condition.Firstly, I think personal interest is quite essential when deciding which job to accept. I f I am doing a job that I like, work itself can give me a feeling of satisfaction, and my career can also be a lot of fun. Interest is the best guide and the source of the success.I would be motivated to work hard if I really love this job.Secondly, salary counts for a lot when I choose my future career. My ultimate goal wh en making a choice is to find something that will make me happy. But to a certain exte nt, my happiness will probably be influenced by my income. A good salary with some variables is necessary to me.The third element I care about is which city the company locates in .There is no doubt that big cities like Beijing, Guangzhou or shanghai will provide more opportunities. Therefore a majority of graduates prefer working in those places to returning to their h ometown. However, I think a place close to my hometown will be better for me to tak e care of my old mother and father. So I hope where I go to work is not far away from my native place.Finally, working condition equally affects much when I hunt for a job. As for me, it wi ll be better to work in a company which can provide some holiday every year so that I can travel to anywhere I like. It is also of importance to work with a group of people who are friendly, energetic and well-united.In a word, the ideal job for me is what combines four factors together.

3、How do you define success? What factors do you think are decisive for achieving success?I think success is about achieving the little goals you set for yourself that give you a sense of accomplishment. It can be simple things such as getting an A on a difficult exam or bigger things like graduating from high school/college. It's knowing that there was a challenge or obstacle that you managed to overcome.What's more,If you've managed to live a relatively happy life, I think that's a success. Our world is driven and focused on monetary value, but not all those that are rich are happy.Some people think that opportunity is the first factor leading to success. They hold the idea, as a proverb saying, “Man proposes, god disposes”. Because almost all successfu l people have good luck and have caught their valuable opportunities, they believe that opportunity is a leading condition of the success. If seizes and makes the best use of opportunity available, one can succeed surely. In summary, to them, chances and lucks play the most important role on the road to success.However, others maintain that “no pains, no gains” .Without exerting oneself, one could never expect to achieve success in no matter what one is doing. As is known to all, there is no royal road to the summit of success. One is likely to succeed only when one has worked with whole-hearted devotion and perseverance. Those who are lazy, sloppyand indifferent to their work, those who never concentrate on work will definitely end in failure. On the whole, as far as they are concerned, hard-working is the decisive factor to success.In my view, both hard work and opportunity eventually matters. They are inseparable from each other, and put together, they make a great success. Hard work is to luck what fish is to water, and can be seen as an interior precondition of success. It lays the corner-stone for building a house while luck serves to cement it, to make the building bricks adherent to one another. They are the twins that contribute to success together. They are the factors from within and without respectively. We must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. When opportunities come, meet and make full use of them. Only in this way can we succeed one day.5、What do you think is the most serious challenge of living in a big city?I think traffic is a serious challenge of living in a big city. And I think pollution is also a big challenge. I find that almost everything is polluted around us-- food, water and air. It's impossible, although we want to live in the country. That’s a beautiful dream only.But I deem the pressure from work is the most serious challenge of the city life .The compete will be very serious. But we shouldn't give up .we must work hard and hard.12、Some people say that we live in a TV culture. Do you agree? Give your reasons for your answer.I think, today we are living in a TV culture. There are many reasons for this statement. Firstly, In china, the average television set is switched on for between five and six hours a day, and the average Chinese adult watches for approximately three hours. Recent research has shown that the average child born in the mid-1990s, when 18 years of age, will have spent more time watching television than any other activity except sleep.” Secondly, To a large degree, we are affected by TV culture. Now, there are many movies and television shows that reflect our culture. A show or movie must address some current societal problem or trend in order to truly reflect our life; the producers of the show attempt to integrate many real life situations to the show. In fact, we are affected by this situation.Undoubtedly, the culture aspect wouldn’t be ignored by these opera makers. As written in the text, the author highlights the including of Haspanic actors. This, as far as I am concerned, shows that TV penetrates deeply into every ordinary people’s daily life. TV itself is a miniature of a certain culture, but now, the article makes me realize that TV operas can have an interaction to a country’s inner cu lture, too. Take the USA as an example, it is a country called ‘the melting pot’, so the racial problem has long been deeply rooted in this country’s vessel. As was stated in thearticle, soap operas, though poorly made and lacking thought, have a positive influence on the integration of races. It also provides more chance for the minority actors, and it to some extent make different races closer in people’ idea.The TV and culture should be seen as a whole and viewed with complexity. Without doubt, TV around us are also twisting and changing our ideas, and our ideas are just a critical component of our culture.17、How do you comment on TV commercials ?Ok, well, when it comes to this key phrase: TV commercial, I think all of us are familiar with it. Because when we want to watch the TV programmes and turn on the TV, many TV commercials all get into our sight. But do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing? In my view, we should look upon this from two sides. It has advantages also with disadvangtages. For example, these commercials can make people know more products. People can find more and more new products in today's advanced technological world. The commercials market is booming. This is a way that improves the marketing rate of new products. However, TV commercials are deceptive to some extent, so there are many bad businessman. They sell cheap or inferior products in order to protect their income. They use different ways to make up those products, and makethose products look like quality products. Then people can't resist the temptation from eyewashs of inferior products.18、Do you think it’s possible to remove all commercials from TV? Your reasons for your choice.In this morden society, TV is an important and usual media. Many people use TV to transmit the news. And the role of TV commercials is more and more important. The point of mine is that it is impossible to remove all commercials from TV. Because there are several roles it plays that anything can not replace. Firstly, Compared to newspapers and other mediums, TV commercials can bring lots of money ,and it constitutes a large pat of tax, so if we remove all the commercials , the income of our government will decrease largely. Secondly, TV commercials can open our eyes and let us know more new products and give consumers’ more choice. The last reason is that there are more and more wonderful and perfect TV commercials, and it can bring people beautiful visual enjoyment and spiritual shock, also we can learn a lot of knowledge from it!19、Please comment on the advantages or disadvantages of frequent job-hopping.Job-hopping is defined as frequently switching job. It may create potential advantages, and it can also be too frequently to the detriment of your career.Advantages:Some people think that Job-hopping provides them with a wide exposure to different work environments. By changing jobs frequently, they have found that their networks of business contacts are wider and in some cases, switching jobs have meant a faster way of getting a salary raise.Disadvantages:But changing jobs frequently reflects badly on one’s resilience and loyalty as an employee. Frequently job-hopper could be seen as someone who lacks self-motivation, is directionless or prone to feeling restless at the workplace. In addition, recruiters may not be convinced that you have gained enough experiences and on-the-job skills since you have not stayed in any particular company for very long. They are also worried that you may leave them shortly after they hire you, forcing them to start the recruiting process all over again!In conclusion, changing jobs frequently can do your career more harm than good.22、It is said that successful people have better language ability than those who are less successful. Please comment.As we know, language ability is important daily life ability. Globalization has become an irresistible trend of contemporary world development. Our country will be more closely linked to other countries. Obviously it offers opportunity for us to increase our exchanges and contacts with people who speak a great number of different languages in our life and work. The existence of communication obstacles will block the cooperation between people with different languages. On the contrary, it is easy for us to communicate with them if we have good language ability. So a successful person is good at communicating with other in different languages. In other words, a person who has excellent language ability is much easier to be successful. For example, if you want to get a job in foreign enterprise, some interviews in English are necessary.28、If you were a specialist or an educator, what would you do to help those of dyslexia?Many Chinese have difficulty in studying English , especially with reading and writing . In my opinion, vocabulary is the basic element . If you don`t know the meaning of the words , you can`t know the information the passage even the sentence tell , you can`t write either . Ifyour vocabulary is OK , you still find it hard to understand what the writer thinks , then culture difference is the cause . So you should learn some essential culture background. Most important, you should learn to understand the habit how the locals speak and the logic behind it . That needs patience and practice . So , just read more and think more at the same time . When you find you feel the passage more easier , you will write more smooth as the locals do .32、Do you think people’s ability in language is important? Why or why not?Yes, I think language ability is important for people. I will list the reasons from three aspects in the following statements.Firstly, language is a necessity in daily life communication. People from different places exchange ideas with each other using language. With he help of language, enemies will become friends, strangers will become acquaintances, and friends will become relatives. Though language, you can realize what kind of people the opposite side is and let others known you better. Living in the society, language enables people to understand other peoples and their cultures thus removing prejudice and hostility.Secondly, you need language to do better in your work. Excellent language helps you to be qualified to your position. Take a salesrepresentative as an example, introducing his/her products fluently and clearly to the customers is one crucial step, because this will determine his/her sales volume thus salary. Sending e-mails is usual in work, if you are lack of the language ability to organize your letter’s contents vividly and persuasively, you maybe in the risk of losing your customer.Thirdly, language plays a key role in people’s study process, particularly for the students at school. We students use language to communicate with classmates、teachers and social people in order to broaden our eyesight. Reading related professional books requires us to have a well-founded language background. Especially, if you are good at a foreign language, such as English, you can get advanced technologies and skills from the USA by reading English books or communicate with Americans.Assume that people live in the word without language, what will happen? I can’t imagine that!That is all! Thanks for your listening!33、What do you think you can learn from a talk show?A talk show is a television or radio program where one person (or group of people will discuss various topics put forth by a talk show host. Sometimes, talk shows feature a panel of guests, usually consisting of a group of people who are learned or who have great experience in relationto whatever issue is being discussed on the show for that episode. Other times, a single guest discusses their work or area of expertise with a host or co-hosts. A call-in show takes live phone calls from callers listening at home, in their cars, etc.34、Comment on the role of Chinese language in international communication.Well, it is a meaningful question for me to answer. There are various TV shows such as soap opera, talent show, game show, fashion show and other similar things. However, what’s my favorite is talk show.As my started, I should give a definition of talk show. Talk show is a program during which well-known people discuss a topic or answer questions from viewers or listeners.Going to my next point what I can learn from talk show. Firstly, watching talk show, I feel relax and have fun from it. Besides, people maybe express their views directly and frankly in the shows. Impressed by some pretty touching scenes, I could get a lot of inspiration from talk shows. In ad dition to what I’ve just said, this program will invite some celebrities whom we are familiar with. It provides us with a platform to discover their hidden side which is different from what we saw on the stage. At last, it can enhance my English level and I also have learned a lot of American Cultures from this kind of shows. Oprah's words andideas influence public opinions, not only promote American values, but also spread to many countries worldwide, as a sign of U.S. popular culture。

CultureWhat problems could people have when they get to a new culture?What do you think are the major differences between western and eastern culture?Is it a good thing that some traditional customs of China have been affected by foreign cultures? 版本一：A: well, as we have learned from our text when we get to a new culture ,we will face w ith many problems such as language di f ferences, nonverbal misinterpretations, the presence of preconceptions and stereotypes and so on. But what do you think is the most troublesome ？B:For me, maybe it is the language that makes me confused . Language is the basement of communication w ith foreigners. If we know very little about a foreign language or can’t speak it ,we can’t understand what foreigners express, just looking at them talking and laughing w ithout joining them.C: yeah ,language is an obvious di f ference between western and eastern culture. Language is influenced and shaped by culture. It reflects culture .But from my view point, there are many other major differences: the value di f ference, the food di f ference, the wedding di f ference and other differences.A: Sure ,you are right. In my opinion, the food and wedding di f ference can be concluded as customs di f ference. For food customs, westerners pay more attention to the nutrition of food, however we Chinese prefer the beauti f ul color , good smell of a dish, even the nutrition is lost in the process of cooking. But now, it seems that traditional food customs of China have been affected by foreign cultures.B; w ell, It is very common. Just look around , you w ill see how greatl y Chinese culture is affected by foreign cultures. You could easily see a rain of fast food around you, like KFC and McDonald, w hich have almost taken the place of our traditional Chinese food.C:E r., how ever, fast food is usually rich in calories and fat but low in nutrition. If w e go on depending on such kind of food, it’s bad for the whole nation’s health. T o some extent, It isn’t a good thing that traditional customs of China have been affected by foreign cultures.版本二：A: My best friend will go abroad for further education, she is so worried about the culture di f ference. I think the culture difference w ould be a great challenge for an eastern student, what do you think about this di f ference?B: Culture difference is really a big challenge for students not only at psychological level but also at the physiological[.fiziə'lɔdʒikəl] level. She will face a plenty of problems in daily life and in learning process. For example, if social reality pushes your friend to change her faith, ho w should she deal with?C: It sounds cruel. T o adapt to a complete new culture is a hard thing for us, especially for young students. But on the other hand, the students who go abroad also help the cultural exchange and culture integration.A: yeah, every coin has two sides, w hen two di f ferent cultures meet, they w ill absorb nutriment from the other and getpromoted in this communication. Do you agree w ith me?B: yes, of course. The history of every country or nationality is made up of its own development together w ith the new part learning from other country or nationality. We can see many examples now, right?C: yeah, absolutely right. I can give you some examples. We can see now in the w edding, Chinese bride w ear bridal veil instead of ancient clothes. This phenomenon reflects the influence western culture gi v e to E astern culture.2. Marriage and FamilyHow to maintain a happy marriage according to you?What do you think are the reasons for a rising divorce rate?How to bridge the gap between generations and what is your ideal parent-child relationship?A: Well, We have noticed that more and more people have been divorced in recent years. I think the reason should be different from family to family. In my point of view, with people’s gro w ing demand of free lives, more and more couples choose to divorce when they find they are not suitable for each other. What is your idea?B: I think maybe w omen have become more economically independent than they used to be. That means they needn't to depend on men for a living. They themselves are al s o the bread w inner. If their love is over or their marriage is dead, they won’t tolerate it.C: I have a different idea. Maybe, the couple married because of love, but they did not know ho w to maintain a happy marriage. It is vital of importance.It needs communication, honesty, understanding, commitment and so on. It is really a skill.A: Well, there are also some other problems to be solved . Besides the relationship of the couple , one also should pay much attention to the generation gap w ith the old in a family. Bridging the gap betw een generations may help to maintain a happy family.B:yeah ,you are right. The young and the old should have an open talk and tell each other w hat they think about certain problems and solve the problems together. In a word, to bridge the gap between generations , patience and mutual understanding are necessary.C: In another way, parent-child relationship is al s o important to maintain a happy family. In my opinion ,in an ideal relationship, parents can make friends w ith children. They communicate frequently with their children about funny things in the school and get to know their experiences and thoughts. So, marriage brings so many things----complex but very happy.3. EconomicsWhat should the government do when so many college graduates are facing employment problem? Should we stop college enrollment expansion? Why or why not?Why do we need to reform "hukou" policy? Is it the time to put an end to the policy?A: As we all know, the employment problem is caused by many reasons. I think, the government should take measures in many aspects. For example, some enterprises refuse to employ nonlocal persons, the government should reform “hukou”policy to ensure that persons form different places can acquire equal employmentopportunities .Do you think so ?B: So it is .The “hukou” policy makes it di f ficult for us to find jobs in many cities such as Beijing, shanghai, Guangzhou and etc. But I think it still can’t solve the problem, the government should provide more job opportunities. Only in this way can we make more choices when w e find jobs .C: Yeah ,I think the most important thing is that the government should reform the college education . Because there are so many graduates in China every year, but the society don’t need so many employees. So we need to stop college enrollment expansion.A: But the ( college enrollment) expansion can make more students have the opportunities to accept high education.B:I think your opinion is right. But what w e should think more is how to solve the problem . Moreover, many people can choose to learn practi c e skills instead of staying in the college.C: Yeah, I think if the government takes some useful measures, we believe that we can finally sol v e the employment problem.4.

In my opinion, the most obvious problem is the pollution of the environment——water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution and so on. When we’re walking on the road, we even can’t breathe the clean air .C :I could’t agree w ith you in some degree,I think that energy crisis problem is so obvious that we can’t ignore it. But many people don’t have the consciousness of rational utilization of energy. So it is time for us to take measures to protect the environment.A: So it is .I think it is everyone’s duty to protect our environment. In our daily life, we should get a good habit such as save w ater,save electricity and so on. It is also necessary to advocate others to act together.B: E r, As individuals, we must do something from now——start from the little things and try our best to protect our nature.Only in this way can we live in a harmonious environment.C: Yeah, it’s lucky that more and more people have come to realize the importance of environmental protection now, many people are trying to make friends w i t h nature.
