Holidays
A：Good morning, B.
B：Morning, A. The spring festival is coming,do you like it?
A：Of course. It’s a precious time for all family members to get together. Everyone, no matter adults or children, will get a new suit. And my mother will prepare so many delicious food for the new year's eve. Are there any traditions in your hometown?
B：Yes. According to the tradition, we will eat different kinds of dumplings at different time.
A：Really?
B：Yeah. During supper time, we eat meat dumplings, while at 0:00, we eat dumplings without meat. I don’t know why.
A：Sounds interesting. The Valentine’s Day is around the Spring Festival this year, will you celebrate it?
B：Maybe not. Though the Western Holidays are becoming more and more popular in China. What’s your opinion?
A：I think that the commercial benefits are the greatest motivation. Why do more and more people come to know about western festivals? The forceful reason is that there are too many advertisements all around us.
B：I absolutely agree with you. Businessmen are trying their best to make a fortune from those Western Holidays. I'd like to discuss it next time we meet. Have a nice holiday!
A: Thank you! The same to you.

A: I know you really like travelling.
B: Yes, of course, I think everyone like it.
A: So what do you think the meaning of the travel?
B: I think it includes many sides, but the most important is that it lets me forget the troubles of reality and enjoy a short and quiet life. it also can let me feel different urban culture that could open my horizons. How about you?
A: I like the feeling of travelling on the road. I really want to travel every day in a different way .but not now, because I also have many responsibilities.
B: Ah, you’re a good boy. Who do you want to travel with?
A: I want to travel with my future wife and my children.
B: Don’t you want to travel with your parents?
A: Of course, I really want to take them to go to a beautiful place with my own money, it’s a pity that I have never done this until now.
B: Do you like traveling in china or going abroad?
A: I like our country, so I want to go to many domestic places.

Education
A: Hi, B. How is everything going?
B: Fine, thank you. How about you?
A: Not bad, but I am busy looking for some materials about college education in China. Can you give me some advice?
B: Eh… I think the public colleges in China have the best condition and high-quality teachers. Most of students want to enter those, such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. Compared with the public universities, the private colleges are not very popular for students in China.
A: Yes, I have learned that good universities have many excellent students. Generally speaking, they achieved high scores in the national college entrance examination. Besides, good universities have excellent atmosphere of study and varieties of teaching facilities. So this’s the reason why it makes su ch a large difference, right?
B: Yes, it is really a very important factor. The other universities have less resource due to the lack of money. What’s more, their students can’t make the full use of time and limited resource.
A:I absolutely agree with you, do you have any other advice?
B: There is a bad phenomenon in Chinese universities. Students have a general lack of practical ability and can’t put theories into practice. It leads to a result that they can’t adapt to the work in future. This is the main problem of education in China.
A:Oh that is really a serious problem, I will pay much attention on it. OK, what you said gave me a lot of help. Thanks for your advice again.
B: You are welcome.
