Even the feel of the deck of cards in your hands is such a welcome physical change from staring at a screen. Also, something about cards is so classic. You can sit on your front porch, playing a game of poker as the sun sets in the distance, and really feel like someone could have been doing the exact same thing a hundred years ago. It’s a very cool sensation and makes card games even more fun.

　　1 陪伴朋友

　　2 通人性

　　I would recommend my friend to keep a dog as her pet. First, dogs are humans’ best friend. If my friend keeps a dog, the dog will be with her as a friend. They can go to the park together or go meet with other friends who also have dogs. In this way, my friend will not be alone. Second, dogs are one of the kinds of pets that can communicate with human beings. For example, if my friend is happy, the dog will be very active to show that it is happy as my friend does. Also, if my friend is sad, the dog will be quiet and company her until she gets better.

There are advantages of being my own boss, and the most important one is to realize my own ambition in life. The course is thus a direct contribution to my dream. Moreover, even if I could not start my own business in the end, which could be quite difficult, the course can still help me find a job in small business, as people understand the running process of small business will be more competent than others who have little knowledge in the area.

    6.Task 1

If you are a teacher of a tutor group and you are going to take students to a study trip， where would you take them to? A science museum， a local farm， or a theatre performance?

　　思路：

　　观点：local farm

　　论点：1. 都市生活，没有机会接触大自然

　　Response:

　　If I were the teacher，I'd take my students to a local farm for sure. With the great leap forward of urbanization，most kids lose the opportunity to learn about our mother nature unwittingly. As a teacher myself， I couldn't remember how many times I threw out the question “tell me about your favorite animal” with uncomfortably long pauses. My students find it tough to answer the question from direct experience. They aren't able to list typical features of those animals or their living habits or anything. So I'd love to provide my students a chance to get closer to those warm creatures and soft grasslands than to cold machines and concrete streets.

　　T1

　　Your friend is considering dropping out of university. What suggestion would you like to give him?

　　1 如因学费，则可以依靠贷款或者打工

　　2 如因课程难度高，则可以参加课后补习班

Moreover, he may lose interest in college education and for this, he could be reminded of the importance of certificates.

　　思路：

　　观点：不赞成

　　论点：

　　1 it is hard to define what the most important thing is in a person’s life, because different people have different situation.

　　2 I am a person who is ambitious for some dreams; however, a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle won’t help me to make them come true.

　　3 some people like exciting and passionate lifestyle.

　　Response:

　　I disagree with the statement that the relaxed and unhurried lifestyle is the most important for a person. First of all, it is hard to define what the most important thing is in a person’s life, because different people have different situation. For example, some people have to struggle to make money to support family. So for them, it’s unavailable to live a relaxed life. Secondly, I am a person who is ambitious for some dreams; however, a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle won’t help me to make them come true. Finally, some people like exciting and passionate lifestyle. So a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle will make them feel uncomfortable.

　　9.Task 1

　　2010/12/12

　　While traveling, some people prefer to go to new places, and others prefer to visit familiar places. Which do you think is better?

　　思路：

　　观点：go to new places

　　论点：

　　1 多项活动可参与

　　2 提供不同的视野

Response:

　　Well, it might be a good idea for the old and the weak to stay in familiar places where the weather is suitable and there is less chance to get them affected by diseases in changing weather or location, but it’s not the case for the young adults who are excited about changes. Firstly, new places bring us diverse activities. For example, people who are used to swimming in hot summer days may also enjoy skiing in cold winter days. Secondly, unfamiliar places bring us new visions. It’s a pity that people living in the equatorial area have never seen snow. And also it’s a great surprise to swim in Australia when it is winter in the north hemisphere.

　　10.Task 1

　　20150328

　　Imagine that you are going to donate money to your community.

　　Which of the following would you prefer to give the money to An environmental group, The local library, An animal rescue center. Choose ONE of the three community organizations and explain how the money should be used.

　　思路：

　　观点：local library

　　论点：

　　1 图书馆可以买更多的书来丰富图书资源，吸引读者

　　2 图书馆整修提供给读者更好的阅读环境

　　Response:

Personally speaking, I would like to donate money to the local library. First, the library can use the money to buy more books. I am a book lover, so I believe people like me will be willing to see more books available in the library. It is very important for the residents to have a good reading habit, and the library can do something about it. Besides, reading enriches the spiritual life of residents. Second, the library can do some renovation to provide residents better reading environment. By doing this, the library will be able to attract more residents.

　　11.Task 1

　　While choosing a university, which of the following factors do you think is the most important besides academic reputation, its size, location, or the cost of the tuition?

　　思路：

　　观点：location

　　论点：1. 生活方便

　　2. 工作机会多

　　Response:

　　I think the location matters. There are some reasons. Firstly, location decides the convenience of daily life. This is understandable, because when living in the downtown area, whatever I need, I can simply make purchase in the nearby shopping mall or supermarket. But if off town, I may have to take a bus for over an hour in order to catch a show in the town. Moreover, city center secures a wide assortment of job opportunities, either full-time or part-time. Apparently, New York City provides vacancies many times more than countryside of Oklahoma, and to students, chances mean more than anything else.

　　12.Task 2

　　Some people prefer to do one job or project at one time. Others prefer to do several jobs or projects at the same time. Which do you prefer and why?

　　思路：

　　观点：do several jobs or projects together

　　论点：1. 只做一种容易产生疲惫感

　　2. 能够互相借鉴

　　Response:

　　Personally speaking, I prefer to do several jobs or projects together, instead of focusing on just one job or project. First of all, it is very easy to get tired when you are doing just one job, while doing a couple of jobs gives you a sense of diversity and constantly refreshes your mind. Also, when you have several projects at hand, you can always borrow ideas from one project to be used in another. For example, we can use the ideas from math to do a physics project. Moreover, doing multiple tasks gives you the chance to develop various skills and a greater sense of achievement.

　　13.2010-6-26

　　T2

　　Some people prefer to do team sports, while others prefer to do individual sports. Which do you prefer?

　　思路：

　　观点：team sports

　　论点：

　　1 锻炼沟通技巧

　　2 提高协作能力

　Response:

　　I prefer the former. There are some reasons. Firstly, it practices my communicative skills. During the process, I have to communicate with others in the group, either intimate or not. In order to get myself understood, I have to be precise and also polite so as not to upset my partners. Moreover, it creates a sense of cooperation. I am not alone in the team and I have to adjust to the interest and hobbies of other team members in order to have great fun together. And in the process, I’ve learned how to sacrifice for more gains.

　　14.Task2 2010/8/21

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do so. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

　　思路：

　　观点：赞成

　　论点：1. 减轻父母负担

　　2. 培养生活技能

　　Response:

　　Yes, I think that doing household tasks should become part of their family duties as children are growing up. First of all, helping with household tasks such as washing and cleaning takes off some burden on their parents. Through this way, children will understand their parents’ hardship and become more mature. Secondly, it also provides children with a good opportunity to acquire skills. For example, by tidy up the toys, the children can learn the categorizing method. Finally, encouraging children to do domestic chores helps to develop their sense of responsibility for their own family, which will be cultivated into social responsibility later in life.

　　15.Task 22010/10/23

　　Some students like to take notes in class, while others prefer to mainly listen to the teacher. Which do you prefer and why?

　　思路：

　　观点：take notes

　　论点：

　　1 有助于考试复习

　　2 促使自己注意力集中

　　Response:

　　I prefer to take notes. There are some reasons for my choice. Firstly, it’s a better way to catch up with exams. Although I can focus on the content when the professor is uttering, notes on PPT or blackboard tend to be more accurate and will be of great help when making preparations for finals. Moreover, it’s a force to my concentration. When taking notes, I have to fully focus on the professor in order not to miss out any important detail he’s given that is firmly connected with the exam and therefore, I have to be involved during the whole class and have no time for cell phone games or random chats with peers.

　16.2012/9/23

　　Task 2

　　Some people enjoy doing indoor activities, while others enjoy outdoor activities. Which do you prefer and why?

　　思路：

　　观点：outdoor activities

　　论点：

　　1 减肥

　　2提高协作能力

　　I like intensive outdoor activities. There are some reasons for my like. Firstly, outdoor activity burns more calories. Take myself for example. I was almost 200 pounds last year and when I realized I had to lose weight, I started to play basketball. After a year, I've lost over 70 pounds. What a nice hit! Moreover, outdoor activity takes more participants and it's more likely to make friends. Basketball, as is known to all, is a game requires a good sense of teamwork and cooperation. So it is the case with my partner Tim and me. We cooperate well in the game, so we become friends. And the deeper the friendship is, the better we cooperate.

　　17.Task 2

　　20110928

　　Some people prefer to plan what to do in their free time ahead of time, while others prefer not to have such plans. Which do you prefer? Explain why.

　　思路：

　　观点：not to have plans

　　论点：

　　1 带来惊喜

　　2 计划不如变化快

　　Response:

　　I prefer not to have plans. There are some reasons for my choice. Firstly, it will bring us surprises. It is understandable when some interesting places are first visited by travelers. These people surely have no plans for the visit, because there is no manual book to refer to, but the unexpected visit may make the whole trip marvelous. Moreover, not everything can be planned beforehand, such as bad weather, traffic jam and car accident. When the plan is disturbed, the emotion is also ruined. Therefore, why don't we skip planning at first, and leave ourselves more free time for enjoyment?

　　18.20140118

　　T2 Some teachers prefer students to send questions about course work or assignments by email. Others prefer students to ask the questions in person. Which do you prefer?

　　思路：

　　观点：email

　　论点：1.不需要出门

　　2. 接收回复都很便捷快速

　　Response:

　　I prefer email. There are some reasons. Firstly, students stop traveling for long distances. On one hand, with the help of internet, students on holiday in other states can still have discussions with the professor or send assignments by email. And the professor, in any place in the world, is also contactable. On the other hand, it avoids travelling in harsh weather, like storm or hurricane. An email solves all the problems. Secondly, it improves efficiency and thus saves time, as students receive instant replies. For example, students instantly receive the comments on the paper right finished by the professor at midnight when a visit is less likely.
