2.What can u do to improve our environment?

I am afraid, if we wanted to improve our environment, we would slow down the industrialization.

First, dramatically development of industrialization creates a lot of exhausts that pollute the air and the water. For example, noxious water released from a chemical plant would kill fish of many species in the sea. If human being ate the toxic fish, they would get infected as well.

Second, industrialization demands a lot of scarce resource; therefore, some of them are extinct and unrecoverable. Since the industrial revolution happened in 19th century, a lot of trees had been cut down for modern development, so that many forests disappeared from the planet. What a pity!

Therefore, if our industrialization would slow down a little bit, it would give the environment enough time to recover from devastate.

3.Describe an artist, musician or popular singer you do not like. Give spe cific reasons.

Personally, the popular singer I dislike most is ... for the following reasons- First, she's not as benevolent as other celebrities. For example, many famous persons have donated thousands of dollars to WenChuang, where the catastrophe happened. But she, the mean woman, had no such action at all.

Second, this woman is aiTogant and haughty. Sometimes she shouts at her fans and drives them away. You know, if her fans gave up their favor on her, she would become nobody. Worse, she always brags that she is the top singer in our country and slanders other singers.

Therefore, she is the one I dislike most.

Second, such development introduces subway to us. You know, subway is the most efficient transportation in my country. Especially, there "re a lot of heavy traffic jams.

Therefore, subway saves me a lot time, I really like it.

The happiest time for me is that traveled to US with my best friend Jason last month. First, you know, it was the best chance for me to practice my spoken English. As an English major, this trip helped me put the knowledge I learnt into practice. I was so excited to talk with local Americans there and imitate their native accent, which was valuable experience.

10> Describe a personality have changed since you were a child .Explain how you changed this personality .Please include specific reasons and details in your response

Personally speaking, since I was a child, I learnt to change myself from introvert and shy into humorous and outgoing.

First, when I was young, I was afraid of talking in the public and wasn't brave enough to communicate with my classmates and teachers. Therefore, I was always lonely without friends. Whenever some school activities were held, nobody wanna group up with me. I was so upset and frustrated about that.

Then, my mum noticed my melancholy and began to encourage me and took me outdoors to make friends with neighborhood kids. I was so tired of such lonely life that I tried to smile and said hi to everybody, because I needed friends.

Therefore, many years later, I have already become a very humorous and outgoing girl, all of my friends like spending their time staying with me.

IL Please describe steps of learning a new subject

Personally, the subject I wanna describe is English.

First, you know, the most fundamental step is to memorize vocabularies. It really drove me crazy! Everyday, I woke up at 6 o^clock to open the vocabulary book. Also,

I accumulated words from American movies and TV series, which means I spent a lot time in watching them. But because of great efforts I have paid, now I can totally understand what foreigners speaking.

Second, another difficult part for me is spoken English. So whenever I had spare time, I always went to English corner to practice my oral English with foreigners. I intentionally imitated their accent and intonation, also we exchanged information about our different cultures. Surprisingly, only several months later, I won an English speech competition.

12.Describe a person who always makes you laugh. Explain why the person is funny. Include details and examples in your explanation.

Personally speaking, the person that makes me laugh is my best friend Jason. First, Jason has a special dressing sense that always makes me burst into laugh. For example, in summer, other boys always wear T-shirts and shorts, while he dresses with a skirt! What's more, his skirts always contain bright colors, like red and yellow, so, it looks so weird!

Second, Jason^s facial expression is really attractive and funny. Especially when he is telling us a joke or saying something excited, his face is contorting, voice is trembling and even spit saliva as rain drops.

Therefore, I really appreciate his company with me

13.Describe the most important development in your country in the past 20 years.

Personally the most development occurred in my country in the last 20ys is the technology development.

First, such development brings us a new form of transportation, subway. Subway can save us a lot of time. Especially in a big city, therele a lot of traffic jams. If I drive my car to school, sometimes it takes me more than one hour, while 20m is enough to get there by subway.

Second, the development also introduces computers to all of Chinese families, which really help us a lot. For example, one day I should deal with my historical paper, but I was lack of such materials. I turned to the computer, within seconds, I have found a lot of relevant information. Therefore, I have finished my paper so rapidly.

14.Describe the most disappointed experience and why.

The disappointed experience for me is that I haven^t made the trip to America in this summer.

You know, I am dreaming of America, because I have been told that there are a lot of magnificent sceneries there, like Yellow Stone Park, The Statue of Liberty and Hollywood! And those beautiful landscapes would definitely relax myself, releasing the pressure from my whole semester^ study.

I have already bought the tickets, booked the restaurant and even made a well-detailed plan about this trip, anything had been done. However, my university demands us to participate in voluntary services in communities. I really want to have a try and offer assistances for the people who need.

to be deducted points from my credits.

Classical music is my favorite for the following reasons.

First, my mom is a pianist. She is good at playing classical music, especially bethophin and Mozart's music. Since I was young, she liked to play one of those masterpieces after dinner and asked me to imitate her gesture on the keyboard. Therefore, classical music accompanied me in childhood.

Second, classical music is the best tool to make me relax. You know, as a student, I have to spend a whole day staying at school and study all the time. So after school when I am back to home, I am always stressed out. I like to listen to Mozart's music, which helps me calm down and brings my refreshed mind back.

17.Describe your study methods of learning that are different from others，and why.

Personally, the way I study is different from others

First, take English as an example. Most of my classmates only focus on reading or writing part, but ignore their spoken English. However, it's what I pay great attention to. I deliberately go to English Corner, in order to practice my English with those foreigners, imitating their accent and intonation. Therefore, I can speak like a native now.

Second, I prefer to study in a group, rather than depending on myself Sometimes when I come across something confused, I would discuss it with my classmates. You know, everyone has a different opinion from others'. Therefore, at last we can always figure this problem out in a quick way.

Second, biography books are boring and tedious without interesting plots or adventures. I prefer books depicting excited events or characters with charisma. Therefore, biography book can't make me satisfied.

2LDescribe your favorite subject when you were in primary schooL Explain why you like it. Include reasons and examples to support your response. Personally, my favorite subject was English in primary school

First, my English teacher Daniel attracted my whole attention. He was humorous and encouraging, so that I never felt bored on his classes. His funny expressions and illustrations magically made all of students focus on him. I always got the highest school on English.

Second, English itself was absolutely attractive and charming; especially I liked to talk with foreigner friends.

Therefore, English was my favorite course in my primary school

22.Describe one way of life in your country has been changed and why it is beneficial

23.Describe a kind of music that you dislike most and why

Personally, the music I dislike is the rock music.

First, this kind of music drives me nuts. I prefer the light music, like classical music and blue, because it can help me calm down when I am anxious or angry. But rock music would worsen my feeling, so that I caif t express my negative emotions. Second, the reason why I dislike rock music mainly lie on the rock singers. Their dress-up are weird and sometimes scary. And the way they sing is too drastic to bear, so that their shows would never attract my attention.

Therefore, I am afraid I carTt appreciate rock music.

24.Your friend want to drop out of university or college , agree or disagree Yeah,

I agree with his decision.

First, not evey body likes to studying in university. Just like my best Jason, he is a very intelligent and talented boy. He has already learned through all of subjects that required in university by himself when he was a freshman. Therefore, it^s ok to quit from the university under such circumstance. What he needs is the practical experiences in society, rather than the knowledge in university.

Second, if Jason was forced to remain in university, I am afraid it would do no good to his development. He has already set up his aims and targets, so that he has a clear realization that what he wants and what he “s dreaming o f. Staying at university would restrict his ambitions and potentials, so that I support his decision without question. 25.Where would you like to live, Mountain, forest, beach, or desert? Personally speaking, the place Fd like to go much is the forest. I prefer it for the following reasons.

First of all, the air in the forest is much fresher than that in the city. And I know doctors will suggest people to go there to breathe in more oxygen. I have a cousin, Jimmy, who used to have problems with his lungs and his doctor told him to go to the forest as much as he could. Now he is well again.

Also, we can hike or even have picnics in the forest as long as we do not get lost. It must be such a nice experience to feel the breeze and watch the green trees sitting on the grass with your friends while you can enjoy your delicious food.

Anyway Fd like to go the forest if I can.

26? Describe your favorite room. Explain why you like this room most.

My favorite room at my place is my bedroom.

You see, out of my window, the blue sea is lying there. Every morning when I get up, I open the window to let the fresh sea breeze ventilates the room and enjoy the magnificent view.

27? In your opinion, What qualities should a leader have? Give specific reasons to support your opinion.

Well, first of all, I think, a good leader should be encouraging enough.

For example, I had a boss, Jason, who used to say, ”You are a capable young man, I know you can do it well" whenever I was not confident enough with my job. With his encouragement I was so successful in my job and became a team leader in 6 months. Also, I believe a good leader should set good examples for all team-members. I remember my boss Jason used to work harder than any of us who were working with him in a team, even though he was the boss. We were so moved by what he did, and everybody followed his suit. So we were the most efficient team.

28. When choosing a friend which of the following qualities you value most: honesty, loyalty, or sense of humor?

In my point of view, I like to stay with an loyal friend. Loyalty means always being honest with their friends and staying right beside them when they fail down.

Fd love to talk about Tom, we'd been good friends since we were kids. Once I was supposed 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 weaknesses directly. Thanks for his straight forwardness, I made quite a progress. I really appreciate his loyalty and treat him like my lifelong friend.

29 Which do you like to read，magazines, novels or poems? And why?

I like reading novels better than magazine, poetry or anything else for the following reasons.

First of all, novels are always interesting, taking Harry Potter as an example. Whenever I read it I can 7 help but laughing all the time, releasing the pressure from my study and have a peace of mind.

Also I believe this novel has opened a new world to me. The writer of Harry Potter Joanne Rowling is such a good writer that her imagination has broadened my horizon. Previously I knew very little about the world of wizards but now I have joined a group of Harry Potter fans with whom I can have lots of discussions about Harry Potter from time to time.

30. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.

Pm gonna talk about Harry Potter

First of all, I have learned tons of vocabularies and sentence structures of English from it. Especially in the course of my preparation of TOEFL, I really use it as a helpful tool to review those complicated words.

Also, sometimes I feel depressed and wanna give up, I turn to the story and gain some courage. Yeah, the hero in the story protected the people he loved and reached the final destination by great efforts.

In addition, I get used to reading a chapter of Harry Potter before go to bed, and it helps me to have a sweet night and be in a good mood?第二题：

L Should the parents let their children practical course like cooking and personal finance

Personally speaking, I think that parents shouldrTt let their kids do those items. First, their kids are busy on their school work, they have much homework and exams

to prepare and review, even some of them can't stop studying until midnight. So their parents shouldn't increase their heavy burdens, making their schedule even unbearable. Second, such work may be dangerous for kids. Like cook, it is easy to cut themselves 讦they can^t be proficient in it. And kids are lack of self-controlling abilities, which means it's hard for them to handle their finance. They may squander that money out within seconds.

2.Parente are the best teachers. Do u agree or disagree with such statement and why.

I totally agree with such statement for the following reasons.

First, parents are the first persons I recognized since I was born, which means they are the only ones I can trust without hesitation. So I can accept the knowledge they teach entirely and effectively. But I always be skeptical to the things told by my teachers and friends.

Second, my parents are much older than any of my friends, which means they are more experienced. Therefore, when I am on a tough spot and can't figure out how to solve it, I always consult with my parents and they can give me valuable advices, more effective than those from my friends.

3.Some students prefer short assignments, while others prefer long assignments, which one do you prefer.

Personally, I prefer to take one or two big assignments for the following reasons. First, if I prefer many small assignments I gonna be busy preparing for them. Because of its frequency, I have no time to do something else, but have to make well preparations for them, which gonna drive me crazy. While big assignments will give me enough time to prepare, I am possible to get a higher score.

Second, one or two big assignments help me put the knowledge I learnt as a whole. You know, the knowledge spread in some assignments are separated, it is hard for me to grasp a comprehensive knowledge.

4.Somebody prefers to go to the same places in vacation, but others choose to go to different places and spend a little time at each place.

Personally, I will prefer to go to different places and spend a little time at each place for the following reasons.

First, you know, the time is so limited that I try to visit places as many as I can, which means I have no choice but setting up a busy travelling schedule. Because visiting different places will give me a chance to be exposed to different cultures.

Second, travelling to different places will help me get acquaintances with different types of people. I have known that Americans are enthusiastic, Japanese are humble and English are gentle. Dealing with such different people made me grasp more communicating skills.

5.Some students prefer to take a essay question where they must write an essay to a question. Other students prefer to take a test with objective questions. Which type of exam questions do you prefer? Give reasons and examples in your explanation^

Personally, I prefer to take essay questions for the following reasons.

First, essay questions are easier for me than objective questions. Because you can

express yourself completely in the exam, which means it's easier to come up with lot of good ideas to write the paper.

Second, you may possibly to get a higher score on essay. Because no strict grading standard to judge your answer. As long as you fully develop your points of view, you dorTt worry the result. But if you make a wrong choice in your objective questions, your score gonna be poor.

6.U prefer to watch news everyday or occasionally*

Personally, I prefer to watch news occasionally for the following reasons.

First, you know, as a high school student, I have a lot of homework and exams to deal with, which drive me crazy! I can't finish my study schedule every day until midnight, so I have no spare time to pay attention to the news and events.

Second, some news and events have nothing to do with me, so I don^t care. As a student, what I should focus on is the things only related to the subjects I learn. Others, just like political news, economic news and some entertainment stuff, are unnecessary for me. Why I waste my limited time to watch!

So I have no choice but preferring the second statement.

7.You prefer to face challenge all by yourself or depend on other peopled help. Personally, I prefer to face challenge depending on other peopled help.

First, you know, as a child who is 16 years old, I have no much many experiences as my parents do. when I come across some difficult and can% figure out by myself. I always turn to my parents because each time they gonna give me valuable suggestions and advices to solve the problem more effectively.

Second, discussing problems with others can increase my communication skills as well. Because some challenges needs the team work. So during this period, I learn that how to share ideas with others, how to exchange information and how to deal with different opinions from yours. So such experiences gonna help me a lot.

8? Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should learn to draw or paint Use specific reasons to support your answer.

Personally speaking, I agree with such statement for the following reasons. First, learning drawing or painting will enable us to release pressure from our intensive study. You know, in the whole day, what we are doing is to listening to teachers, doing our homework and preparing for exams, which almost drive us crazy. So when we are tired of studying, we can turn to learn something different. By painting a picture, we can relax ourselves mentally and have a peace of mind. Second, learning drawing or painting also can broaden our horizons and enrich our knowledge? We can^t only focus on academic stuffs, but should be exposed to art. During the art courses, we can appreciate master pieces created by famous artists, like Da Vinci, which gonna improve ourselves all round.

9. Some people think that attending team sports may develop children^ sense of competition* Others think that attending team sports will help children to develop their sense of cooperation. What，s your opinion?

Personally, I prefer the second statement for the following reasons.

We know that friendship is always the most important rule existing in a game. So the result that whether we win or lose is not a big deal. What we really care is the precious

experience that how we support and cooperate with each other. Take myself as an example, several days earlier our school held basketball competitions- As a member of the basketball team, I noticed that even when we lost the game, nobody was upset or frustrated, but also kept smiling. Because in the game we worked as a family and everybody played his role perfectly. Therefore, after the competitions, relationships between us were strengthened and enhanced, which is the greatest achievement we made.

Also, I acquired more communicating skills from these games, if you want to win the game, you should learn how to cooperate with your team members first. As a result, I became more and more mature in communications with others.

10> Somebody think that universities only be opened for top students, but others think that all students can enter universities if they want to. Which one do you prefer and why.

Personally speaking, I prefer the first statement for the following reasons.

First, if universities are opened for all students, including someones who don't like study would bring disturbances for top students. Just imagine, in a class some students can5t focus their attentions on the teacher but play around, other who really want to study would be severely distracted. As a result, none of them can study efficiently in the class.

Second, if universities are opened only for top students, they would have more opportunities to communicate with professors. In a class with less students in, top students would have more personal guidance from their teachers, which gonna help them have a deeper and better understanding about the knowledge they learn.

IL Somebody prefer to arrive at the destination directly, but others prefer to take th&r time on the road. Which one do you prefer and why.

Personally, I prefer the latter one for the following reasons.

First, Fd like to take my time on the road, rather than rushing to the destination in a hurry. Because the aim of the trip is to relax myself both mentally and physically, I don^t like to repeat the busy life pattern as I am working.

Second, sceneries along the roads are much more attractive and pretty than those only in the destination. For example, some people choose to go to Japan by plane, but I would prefer go there by boat, because I will have the chance to enjoy marine sceneries, which would be as fantastic as Japanese views.

12.Somebody prefer to try on new food, but others prefer to maintain their tradition> Which one do you prefer and why.

I prefer the first statement for the following reasons.

First, having a try on new food sometimes would give me surprise. For example, there are lots of Mexican snacks served in Pizza Hot nowadays, which are attractive and tasty on TV advertisements. And actually those types of food really satisfied my appetite, it，s a nice try!

Second, if I always have dinners with the same type of food, it would spoil my stomach. I need to change my taste occasionally and have something new. That would maintain my passion on food and always keep a good mood.

13.Somebody think that the first impression is the most important, but others prefer to rely on the long-term contact

I would prefer the latter statement for the following reasons.

First, if you depended on the first sight, if s easier to be cheated on. Just like my best friend Jason, the first impression he imposed me was that he was indifferent and serious. But after several months9 dealing with, I found that he is so attractive and easy-going if you are familiar with him. He can always cheer you up when you are not in a good mood, I really I would judge him according to his first appearance. Second, depth communication would enable you to make many more friends, so it，s more important. Because if you choose to judge a person based on the first sight, it5s easy to give him up, you two carf t get acquaintance with, which means you would lose chances to enlarge your communicating circle. The more friends you have, the better your life would be.

Therefore, the latter one is more important.

14.Some people plan every detail of their vacation in advance. Others prefer to leave most details flexible or open to chance. Which do you think is better and why?

I prefer plan every detail of my vacation in advance for the following reasons.

First, have any detail done before would enable me to indulge in the journey. Because I needn't to worry that where would I live, where would I have dinners or how should I get there. What I have to do is only to enjoy such wonderful journey according to my schedule I planned before.

Second, it gonna save me a lot of time and money. If I made my mind that which hotel I would live on the spot, I would pay much more. Because a reserved room would always be sold at a discount, sometimes It gonna save me hundreds of dollars.

15> Somebody prefer to do their jobs at the very beginning, but others prefer to do so just before the due day. Which one do you prefer and why.

Personally, I prefer to do things at the very beginning for the following reasons. First, I will feel more relax by doing so. If I don^t do the work until the due day, I will be very stressful, because I have to finish the job in one day, which is easier to make mistakes, of course the quality of the work can^t be guaranteed?

Second, I will have enough time to give such work a thoughtful consideration and well preparation, even I can discuss it with others. Through the discussion, I can accumulate other peopled opinions and novel ideas, which will help me finish the work more rapidly and creatively.

16> Should teachers encourage their students to participate in class discussion? Personally, yeah, I agree with such statement for the following reasons.

First, taking part in regular discuss will help me broadened horizon and enrich knowledge. You know, different person has different opinion on the same topic, which means you can observe this topic from different perspectives. At last, you gonna make a thoughtful decision.

Second, participating regular discuss will increase my communicating skills as well. You know, during this period, you should learn how to deal with different point of views, how to exchange ideas with your classmates in peace and how to focus your

attention on interactions not fooling around? Therefore, it，s valuable experience. 17.somebody prefer to listen to music on live shows, but others prefer the recording music. Which one do you prefer and why?

Personally, I prefer the recording music for the following reasons.

First, you know, as a student, especially I am preparing for TOEF1 now, so I have no spare time to go to the concert. But sometimes I want to listen to music to release the pressure, so what can I do? Of course play the recording music to instead.

Second, playing recording music gonna save me a lot of money. It5s well-known that live show in concert charges you a lot, much more expensive for me to afford. Sometimes I have to pay $100 for a ticket! But a CD of recording music only takes me $10. Well, that^s the reason I choose recording music.

18.Do you agree with the following statement: Parents are the best teachers.

I totally agree with such statement for the following reasons.

First, parents are the first persons I recognized since I was born, which means they are the only ones I can trust without hesitation. So I can accept the knowledge they teach entirely and effectively. But I always be skeptical to the things told by my teachers and friends.

Second, my parents are much older than any of my friends, which means they are more experienced. Therefore, when I am on a tough spot and caift figure out how to solve it, I always consult with my parents and they can give me valuable advices, more effective than those from my friends.

19.Should the parents let their children practical course like cooking and personal finance

personally speaking, I thinks that parents shouldrTt let their kids do those items. First, their kids are busy on their school work, they have much homework and exams to prepare and review, even some of them can't stop studying until midnight. So their parents shouldn't increase their heavy burdens, making their schedule even unbearable. Second, such work may be dangerous for kids. Like cook, it is easy to cut themselves if they can% be proficient in it. And kids are lack of self-controlling abilities, which means it's hard for them to handle their finance? They may squander those money out within seconds.

20.Some people prefer to watch films or concerts with a group of friends. Others prefer to watch films or concerts alone. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.

I prefer the first statement for the following reasons-

First, more friends you get, more fun you would obtain. Especially when I decide to watch a comedy, I would invite my friends as many as I can. Because we can share the funny plots together and laugh together, which would amplify our happiness thousands of times, even enhance our relationships.

Second, movies can enrich my knowledge somehow, and if you have a lot of friends to share the movie, there is the chance for you to discuss, exchange different opinions about this movie, and then you would learn more from it.

2L Spending holidays in big cities or small towns*

Personally, I would prefer spend my vacation in rural areas for the following reasons.

First, there are a lot of natural sceneries- The air is fresh, the river is clean and the grassland is wide and green. I would like to swim in the river and take a basking on the grassland, which would relax me both mentally and physically. And you can't lie down on streets in big cities, therere not only dirty but also packed with vehicles. Second, I like reading. So if I choose to read in big cities, noise from cars, crowded people and even construction operations would distract my attention. But reading in rural areas would enable me to concentrate on the book and devote myself to it.

22. Spending spare time with a lot of normal friends or a few of close friends. I would choose to kill my time with a few close friends for the following reasons. First, talking with close friends would relax me. Because I trust them that I can tell them anything happen to me, I don?t worry they would leak my secrets to others. It" unnecessary to disguise myself in front of them, therefore, I would be much comfortable with them.

Second, dealing with close friends would be more efficient. Imagine, if you are hanging out with a lot of friends, you don^t know each other well, so you couldn^t find topics to begin your conversation, which would be awkward. Or, it would be much noisy if many people stay together, you would not have chances to communicate with them because of distractions.

23? Keep or not old building in the city

Of course I prefer keep those old buildings in the city for the following reasons. First, somehow those old stuff represent our traditional culture and long history. We need them to educate our generations, teaching them our valuable culture and helping them build up a deeper and better understanding of China.

Second, those precious buildings would be the best places for us to get rid of modern stuff and relax ourselves. If I felt bored due to intensive works, I would like to walk around those buildings and calm myself down. Because these old-styled constructions would remind you of peaceful and serene atmosphere in the old time, which would release the pressure from my work.

24> Some people think that students should study during weekends, but others think that they should relax and to socialize

First, students also need some breaks. They have already devoted themselves for the intensive schoolwork for a whole week, the weekend is the time to relax. They would have chance to do whatever they like, which gonna enable them to have a refreshed mood and mind, make a well preparation for the next week，s study.

Second, they would need weekends to communicate with their friends, who play a crucial role in their lives. They like to chat and play some games with their friends, exchanging interesting events and important information from each other. Such social behaviors would benefit them for their future.

25. somebody prefer to give money to their friends as birthday gifts, but others prefer something simple but meaningfuL Which one do you prefer? Personally, I would give her what she likes, rather than expensive gifts or money. First, for instance, an iPod computer is expensive, but my friend may not like it. What she wants is merely a ticket for the release of Harry Porter, the final series; because she has a computer and she is a Harry nuts.

Second, it seems that if I gave her money as the present, i would stall off hen Maybe giving her money would save me a lot of trouble to pick up her presents in stores, but

it may ruin our relationship. Sometimes a DIY gift that she likes would be much better, because it represents my sincere wishes for her.

26> Somebody prefer to record memorable events by taking photos and notes,

but others don't. Which one do you prefer and why?

Personally, I would prefer to take diary and pictures to store valuable experiences. First, it would remind me of those memories whenever they are fade away from my brain. Sometimes when I take out my diary notes and read it, I always find many interesting events happened in my childhood; all of them are things I don't want to forget. Therefore, diaries and pictures would help me a lot.

Second, taking diary would be the best way to release my negative emotions. For example, one day I got a poor score in English, I was so upset and dismal that I couldn^t help but crying? But after I wrote down my bad mood on the note, I felt relaxed and comfortable. Therefore, I not only jot down events but regain my good mood.

27. DIY gifts or bought gifts, which one do you prefer?

Personally, I would prefer a DIY present.

First, DIY presents would be more caring and swee匸My friend Jane always has a special taste that she doesn't like objects sold in stores, what she wants are unique and meaningful goods. Therefore, I made a lantern with dazzling glass, which really cheered her up.

Second, presents bought from stores would not be a perfect representation of best wishes. Just imagine, it's only takes me hours to pick up a prosaic present in stores, but I would spend several days to make a DIY present. So which one is more important and meaningful? I am afraid you have already gotten ur answer right?

28e Travelling with families or alone.

Personally, I prefer travel on my own.

First, I can leave my trip open to chanee, rather than planning every detail with my family. I am tired of making blueprint of my vacation, but if I went for a trip with my family, it would be necessary to make well preparation in advance.

Second, travelling on my own would be much more enjoyable. For example, if I went for a trip with my family, it would be impossible to visit places that infamous but quiet and peaceful I don't like places of interests that packed with people, so that I would prefer explore the unremarkable but unique places.

29?Some students prefer to attend smaller classes with small group discussions* O thers prefer to attend lager classes with lectures. Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation* I would prefer the first statement for the following reasons.

First, discussing with small group would be more efficient. If u attended larger classes, u would not have enough chance to express ur opinions, but wait impatiently for ur turn. What an annoyed experience! But with small group, u are able to fully show off

ur ability.

Second, attending larger classes with lectures would be boring and tedious. U just

listen to professors but have no chance to participate in discussions. So that it would be much easier to fall asleep without interactions with classmates or professors, which would not do good to ur study.

30?Do you prefer to be friends with the ppi who share the same opinion as you do or the ppi who hold different opinions?

Personally, I would prefer the friends who hold different opinions.

First, such friends would benefit u more. If you were stuck in a tough situation so that u couldn^t figure out the solution, ur friend would give u feasible suggestions from different perspectives. But if ur friends shared the same ideas with u, he wouldn^t give u assistance.

Second, keeping company with friends who hold different ideas would be more interesting. U can always confront with novel opinions and sort of crazy imaginations that u are lack of, therefore, u wouldn^t feel bored but always have a challenging and excited day.
