1. A friend of yours is looking
for a new place to live and has asked for
your
advice. What do you think is the most important
characteristic of a
good neighborhood? Use
details and examples to explain your answer.
I think the most important characteristic of a
good neighborhood is
environment. Firstly, the
natural environment is very important. If you
live in a place full of sunshine and trees and
flowers surround it, you’ll
feel happy. A good
mood will give positive influence on many aspects
of
your life. Secondly, social environment is
equally important. If the people
in the
environment are friendly, you won’t have any
trouble with people
making noise or people
stealing things. You will feel safe and helpful.
2. Do you agree or disagree with the
following statement?
Parents should be
involved in the process of helping their children
to
choose a career.
Use specific examples
and details to support your opinion.
I
don’t agree with the statement. I think, when it
comes to choosing a
career, parents had better
step aside and let children make their own
decisions because, at this stage of life,
children already know what they
want to do.
They want to be independent not just economically
but
psychologically as well. They
usually don’t like other people’s advices
about choosing a career, especially their
parents’ advice. Sometimes
they even
deliberately avoid parents’ choice. They want to
prove that
they can survive independent of
their parents. So helping children choose
a
career will actually be counterproductive.
3. The woman expresses her opinion about
the student's proposal.
Briefly summarize the
proposal. Then state her opinion about the
proposal and explain the reasons she gives for
holding that opinion.
The writer
proposes that campus construction should take
place in the
summer because construction
projects are disruptive and it’ll be faster to
finish the projects in the summer. The girl
totally agrees with the proposal
and its two
reasons. Firstly, she says that last year, four
parking lots were
closed because of
construction. There was not enough space. So
students
had to look for parking space in the
streets and they would be late for
classes.
Secondly, it did take longer time to finish the
construction
project in the winter. The last
year’s construction took so long because it
was in the winter. It had a big snowstorm. The
project had to stop several
times.
4. Explain how the example
from the lecture illustrates the concept of
emotional intelligence.
Emotional
intelligence enables people to know the true
causes of their
feelings. It helps them
control their emotions so they can maintain good
relationships. In the lecture, the professor
uses his daughter as an example.
In the
example, his daughter argued with her friend over
which movie to
watch. She was upset. But she
realized that the thing that made her upset
is
actually her new job. She just got a job to teach
little kids but she had
no experience. So she
apologized to her friend and said sorry. And her
friend comforted her and gave her
encouragement. Then they became
good as usual.
It’s clear that the professor’s daughter had the
ability to
understand the true cause of her
feeling and had a good control over her
emotion.
5. Briefly summarize
the problem the speakers are discussing. Then
state which of the two solutions from the
conversation you would
recommend. Explain the
reasons for your recommendation.
The
woman is waiting for her friend Amy. But Amy is
already late. They
were supposed to drive to
the town to watch a movie 15 minutes ago. The
woman can either wait another ten
minutes or just leave the Amy and go
by
herself. If I were the woman, I would just go by
myself. First of all,
being late is not a good
manner even to friends. Amy is always late and
there gives no response to messages and calls.
Waiting for Amy will only
encourage her bad
habit of being late. So it’s proper to just leave
her and
give her a lesson even if she had
given forewarning about being late. Plus,
the
professor wants them to watch the movie and they
will discuss it in
the class. If the woman
waits ten more minutes, she will miss the
beginning. This is not good for her study.
6. Using the example of the lizard
from the lecture, explain two
benefits of
subsurface locomotion.
The professor
talks about two benefits of subsurface locomotion.
The first
benefit is minimizing exposure to
extreme temperatures. For example, it’
s very
dangerous to walk on the surface in the Sahara
desert. There is a
kind of lizard that can
move beneath the sand. It does not travel on the
surface so it can avoid high temperature in
the harsh climate. The second
benefit of
subsurface locomotion is capturing prey. For
example, when
insects are walking on the
surface, they produce vibrations in the sand.
When the lizard senses the vibrations, it
moves underground toward the
source of vibration. Then it can capture the
insects by surprise.
