clearly! Sometimes I was afraid of going out!

C.Oh! In my opinion, I did not think it was so terrible instead of normal. So I did

not change my rule of life.

D.OK! After listening to your talking, I know a little. Next, let me talk about the PM

2.5?

D.It is the reason why the sky became so dirty. Firstly, the PM is Particular Matter.

Then when the small thing in sky is smaller than 2.5, we can breathe into our lugs.

It is very dangerous.

B.Oh! Yes, it is said everyone wore ask in Beijing.

A.We can imagine how terrible and ugly our environment is. However, it is not

surprise that such weather happened, because now more and more family has their own cars. So there are more pollution.

B.Yes, large pollutant emission is one of the reasons what is more, I also observe

that there are many disadvantages for dispersal. And do you know the bad influence about PM2.5?

C.Firstly, it is bad for our lugs. Maybe if it is serious, we will get ill and must go to

hospital.

D.Yes. On the other hand, maybe there will be more traffic accidents happened. A.Yeah, you are all right, I agree with you. It is time that we should take measures

to protect our earth and get our blue sky back. Do you have any good suggestions which can we college students do.

B.Firstly, we should plant more and more trees. As we know, trees can absorb dust.

C.Then, we should try our best to take public transportation so that there will be

less pollution.

D.Yes, we can do many small things on our side. OK, today is Plant Festival, let us

All: Let us go.

Topic2: Do you know “fossil fuel” and “green energy”? Would you set up green energy systems?

A.Now, as we see, there are many pollutions. Do you know what are they from?

B.The reason why the environment is destroyed is that so much fossil fuel is burned.

And do you know what is fossil fuel?

C.Of course, for example, fossil oil, coal, natural gas and so on. When burning them

to get energy, they will take pollution at the same time.

D.However, it is said that they will be used up in the future and will never be

increased.

energy” which not only can provide energy, but also it do not product pollution.

B.Yes, “green energy” is a new energy, such as solar energy, wind energy, nuclear

power and so on. But, it sounds too difficult for us to use them. And would you set up green energy systems?

Topic3: “Ground-floor work is not a burden, but an asset to your career, which will prove to be invaluable for your future." What do you think is necessary for college grads to know as graduation season approaches?”

A.How time flies. It’s June now, which means graduation for seniors.

B.Yes. Several days before I saw juniors taking graduation photos and heard seniors

thesis defense.

C.Yeah, it’s also reminds us the final exams is coming and we will have a 2-month

D.Mm. Do you have any plan for summer vacation?

A.I’d like to carry on hands-on experience related to our major. Maybe I will go to a

travel agency to do some ground-floor work. So I can accumulate some experience for my future work.

B.Yeah, I can’t agree with you more. I think Ground-floor work is not a burden, but

an asset for our future. Many grads are experiencing hardship landing job offers due to their ―poor problem-solving abilities. So we can learn some more or less from ground-floor work.

C.What you said is great. For instance, one graphic designer likes to stress her flair

in creativity, but she doesn’t actually know how to crop a picture properly. In my view, it can’t be imagined. So we need to utilize our summer vacation to do ground-floor work.

D.But I have different ideas. Our university grads don’t need to do ground-floor

work, we have our diploma and our knowledge, so we just need some high position work. And I just want to travel somewhere.

A.Oh, your thought is totally wrong. Some grads hold the same view, so it’s difficult

for them to find a job. Graduation is 2 years away from us and we need to know some as graduation season approaches.

B.Yes. We need to have a low profile, know the tendency of the job with some

approach and do some ground-floor work which is equal to our current ability range.

C.That’s right. We just need some ground-floor work to learn some basic skills to

prepare for our future.

D.Mm, all of you talked a great deal of sense. Maybe I should change my mind. A,B,C. All right.

Topic 4: “Are we paying enough attention to the study of Chinese?”

A.With China’s opening up, intercultural communication has become more and

more frequent between Chinese and foreigners. A good command of at least one foreign language has increasingly been an essential skill for us.

B.What you said is right. People, especially the youths, pay much more attention to

foreign language acquisition than Chinese study. A good command of a foreign language may help young people to get a good job while Chinese skills may be no significance in one’s job hunting.

C.Yes, consequently, some students may not treasure Chinese language any longer.

Apart from this, nowadays fewer and fewer universities stimulate Chinese study in campus, except some major in it.

D.And under this circumstance, Chinese language becomes less and less popular in

universities. So in the view of this situation, effective measures should be taken to change it.

A.All right. I think first the whole society should emphasize the importance of

Chinese language in order to make it clear that it is one indispensable part of Chinese culture and Chinese race.

B.Yes. And the school should promote Chinese language study and research. In

addition, we individuals should contribute our own efforts to the study and protection of Chinese language.

C.Yeah, and the policy that reduce the scores of English in college entrance

examination may let the youths pay more attention to the study of Chinese.

D.To conclude, we should pay great attention to Chinese language, since the

importance of it is never too great to be exaggerated.

A,B,C. That’s all right.

B: And I think it is essential that the channel of communication be kept open among students，between students and their superintendents as well as between students and their parents. people live in the society ,so they must learn to communicate with others.

C: Anything is that schools should take effect measures to solve this problem. The mental health consul department should be built in school to help those students who suffer from mental illness. In this way, those who are subjected to the mental illness can get rid of the unhealthy shadow and build up their confident.

D: As for me, I think Students should learn how to correctly face mental problem and by some healthy way to reduce the pressure. For example, when they fail they can cry aloud .It is maybe an effective way. Of course, they also can choose music, sport, reading and so on. Anything they like.

A: Oh, I think it is really a wonderful idea!

D: Yes. With the popularization of the Internet, network classrooms are gaining more and more popularity. Many people use it.

A: Do you think network classrooms will replace traditional classrooms?

C: I think it quite possible for network classrooms to take the place of traditional classrooms. Because network classrooms needn’t have face-to-face communication and are not limited by time and place, which facilitate both teachers and students. So convenient.

D: Yes! I agree with you. Network classrooms release teachers from repeating the same contents since the video or audio material can be played time and again. So I think it is really good.

B: But, I don’t agree. Having a leading position in business does not solely depend on passion and courage. Management skills and mature personality weigh highly to ensure that a venture can survive, but some students don't possess these necessities. D: I think so. Learning as much as possible when one is young is vital to one's later development. They doubt whether suspending one's study is worthwhile.

A: So, to suspend college study to launch one's own career should be either encouraged or curbed.

D: Yes. The ambitious students need to give themselves an objective evaluation before they're determined to be an entrepreneur right now.

B: Certainly, it should not be the best choice of the majority of the students.

C: I agree with you.

Topic 9: “Should Universities lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?”

A: Hi, guys. Do you know the college entrance examination is coming soon? My sister is a high school student who needs to prepare the coming college entrance examination. I think she is so hard and nervous these days. Because now entering the university requirement is much too high.

B: However, have you heard some universities have lower admission requirements for celebrities? More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been

admitted to famous universities even without an entry examination. This phenomenon has become a subject of widespread controversy.

C: Really? I have never heard it. If it is true, I think it is not fair. In my point of view, there are no reasons for universities lowering admission requirements for the following reasons. We must obey the rules and we shouldn’t change the rules just for some people.

D. Yes, I agree with you. Lower admission requirements for celebrities is unfair to those students who spare their efforts to enter college by examination and fair competition. If universities lower admission requirements for celebrities, some students will lose their chance to go to colleges for an unfair reason. And that is not good for carrying our national policy in fair education.

A: Yeah, and this kind of action will set a negative example for people in that celebrities have a great influence on our society. If universities treat the celebrities as special figures, more and more people will use these similar examples as an excuse to seek some special treatment in various areas, which will abet the corruption in our society.

B: While, I think these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field. Besides, in their opinions, these celebrities to some extent set a good model for other young people. And these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work, so they should be provided a better chance for learning. C: Well, maybe something you said is also right. A coin has two sides. One thing is also has some good parts and some bad parts. And different person has different ideas. While this phenomenon, I also think bad effects are more than good effects. D: Yeah, I think so, we can keep our own idea and listen others idea, and choose a better way to overcome all problems, all right?

A.B.C: Yes!

Topic10“Is face-to-face communication better than other types of communication?”

A: Hello, everybody, long time no see. Do you remember how long haven’t we had a face-to face talk?

B: No, but I know it is really a long time. I miss you so much.

C: Yes, Nowadays, with the development of technology, many modern forms of communication, such as phone calls and email, have stepped into our life. Facing with these, the traditional way of communication — face-to-face communication seems to be left behind the times.

D: Yes, but in fact, this is not actually true. For me, noting can parallel with face-to-face communication.

A: I think so, face to face communication is very effective to some extent. Take interviews for example, it is usually the final step before making the last decision. This step can help the interviewer to know something else beyond the resume and the interviewee to know more information about the company, such as the leads and the environment. The interviewer can judge the interviewees by their actual behavior and appearance.

B: Yeah, let me talk anther example, that loving in different places will not always has a happy ending. That’s because when people get together and talk face to face, they will be more concentrated and they will easily talk to some other topics they have never planed before. And they will feel the feelings of each other by eye sight communication.

C: All right, face-to-face communication allows us to make an interactive conversation. For example, we can clear away the misunderstanding in time. Because a person's tone of voice or facial expression often reflects his mood, while in other kinds of communication it's hard for us to perceive the subtle changes of one's emotion.

D: What’s more, face-to face talk also has another advantage, it can deepen the interpersonal relationship. For instance, trust and respect between businesses partners can be established even with a firm handshake.

A.B.C: En, yeah.

D: All right, I am very happy about we have the same idea. We all think face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, so we should always have a meeting to develop our friendship.

B: But I hold another view which is different with you. Although the time is changed, I think the traditional ideal won’t be overturn in just forty years. At least, my parents won’t agree my brother to go to hospital and work as nurse. In my opinion, male nurses is very rarely.

C: I agree with you! In the drama, the man who study in nurse was also discriminated, just because he is not woman. Not only patients but also their teachers all did not believe him. The teacher even did not allow him to join the meeting which is necessary for becoming a really nurse.

A: And we believe that male nurses will have a good future. We can’t ignore the huge

demand of male nurses in current society.

A: But do you have better idea to test grades?

B: Grade go to hell .I agree with D. Exam never did benefit to our growth.

C: I don’t think so. After all, we need a way to check students’ study.

D: But, some students who have creativity might be not discovered. You know, some exams are so boring.

A: Exam is the fairest way to check one’s study. The process of quantification is necessary.

Topic 15“Do you think star athletes good role models for young people? What qualities should a great athlete have in order to be good role models?”

A: These days there are so many stories about the criminal activities of athletes that sports pages are beginning to look like police reports.

B: What’s going on? Do you think athletes should be role models?

C: It’s probably misguided for society to look to athletes for its heroes—any more than we look among the ranks of, say, actors or lawyers or pipefitters. The social role played by athletes is indeed important (imagine a society without sports; I wouldn’t want to live in it), but it’s fundamentally different from that of heroes.

D: Constantly being watched by the public can be hard to tolerate at times. I am sorry that Michael Jordan had to deal with the negative pubilicity he received about gambling. I don’t think most people can imagine what it’s like to be whated that closely every minute of every day.
