3. Describe a place you visited that has been affected by pollution.
1) Do you ever discuss the topic of the environment with your friends?
Sample answer:
Hardly actually, I do not discuss something about environment with my friends, but I suppose we should because the environment is an important matter to us human beings. And unfortunately, the environment is getting worse than before, mostly due to too much human interference and destruction to our surroundings. A plenty of environmental problems are caused by human beings such as soil erosion, global warming and acid rain, which in turn have terrible impacts on life of people. Therefore, I hope to discuss environmental issues with friends, and take actions to settle those problems.
2) What are the different kinds of environmental problems that exist right now?
Sample answer:
Right away, several environmental problems are persistent around the world. Three major environmental problems are, namely, air, water and noise pollution. Air pollution, smog, for instance, causes serious respiratory problems for human beings, and also makes the environment much worse than it used to be. Then, water pollution refers to discharging of domestic sewage and chemical contaminants into water, leaving a negative impact on quality of water. And the last one, noise pollution, like roadway, aircraft as well as industrial noise makes the living environment in a mess. All in all, these kinds of environmental problems exist in the society.
3) Whose fault is it that we have these environment problems?
Sample answer:
Frankly, human beings are indeed to be blamed for these environment problems, as there are too much intentional as well as unintentional destruction caused by human beings: smog, which is due to the exhaust gas intentionally produced by human beings; water and noise pollution, which are accidentally caused from mankind’s bad habits. However, it makes no difference if we find faults with the environment destroyer without taking actions to protect it. Just as someone said: “When we heal the earth, we heal ourselves”, I hope people could realize those problems and build up an effective mechanism to settle all these problems.
4. Describe a time a child made you laugh
1) What can make child laugh?
Sample answer:
There are plenty of ways that can make child laugh. First, we can buy some candies, cookies or cakes for him, and as we all know, child likes to eat something sweet, and he will feel happy and enjoyable because he gets what he wants. Second, play games with him is also a good choice to make him laugh. For example, if you and him play league of legend together as a team, maybe you made an easy mistake and got yourself killed, I am sure he will laugh out loud because he didn’t know you can be that dumb. Third, generation gap or cultural lag is definitely another way to make him laugh. For example, there are some modern online words which are quite popular among young people, and if he asked you but you’ve never heard of it, that moment will be very hilarious, and he will feel funny too.
2) What do you think is the best age for people to have children?
Sample answer:
Personally speaking, the best age for people to have children is when they are at about thirty years old. Because if they are too young, they may not have enough amount of money or decent living quality to raise the kid, which will be bad for the kid’s normal life. For example, the kid may not have well education or nutritious food, and I think it’s not responsible for parents to do that, if parents are very poor or young, they should first work harder to earn money, and then raise kids, because kid needs a lot of money. On the other hand, if adults are too old, like when they are thirty-five or so, women's fertility would drop drastically. At that time, they may not able to have baby. So, I think the best time of having children is when they are about thirty, by that time, they should have a house or a car, and of course a stable job which can sustain the life quality and stand the cost of raising the baby.
3) Do you think people should be trained before they become parents?
Sample answer:
Not necessarily. Because raising kids is part of the human nature, and we were born with it, we know what to do and how to do it. Plus, our earlier generation didn’t have had trained to raise the kid because of the lack of resources, yet our parents all grew up safely and soundly. Moreover, having a training session will cost a lot of money, parents should save some money and use it to raise their kids in the future, such as education, living cost, car, house and etc. If there are some questions, they can find plenty of resources online, such as TV shows, online applications and so on. If some parents are not good at using online technology, or they think online stuff is unreliable, they can also ask for other friends’ or their parents help, because they have many experiences Therefore, they don't need to be trained by others.
4) Do you think childhood is the most important in one’s development?
Sample answer:
I totally agree with this statement. Because people need to establish a series of good habits during their childhood, and it includes study habits, life habits, and even the ways to communicate with others. All of these habits will be with him or her for the rest of their life, which is crucial for a person's future development. More importantly, childhood is the best time for children to think about what they will do in the future. If a kid is really good at playing badminton, or singing, he should grab the chance when there is still time and pursue his dream at the very beginning. When he grows up, he will know how important to do what he likes. And he should feel lucky to stick to that dream. Even though he will feel helpless or confused during the process, parents should always encourage him to pursue his dream.
