Q1 Describe one important thing you have ever learnt in your childhood. Include reasons and details to support your response.

 

1. One important thing that I have ever learnt in childhood is playing  piano. First of all, playing piano made me get excited. When I play those beautiful melodies, I would forget all the daily trouble. These classical works can bring me a peaceful mind to tolerate unfair things and positive mind to start a brand new day. Also, playing a piece of classical masterpiece can bring me a lot of confidence and it must be great to play some well-known songs in front of my friend and relatives.

2.  One of the most important lessons that I have learned in life is to "face your fears". Fears can hold us back from experiencing everything that life has to offer. When we give into fear we limit ourselves. We can do this, go that far, but no more.

 

3. The second most important life lesson that I learned is - Treat people like you want to be treated. This is the "Golden Rule".

Q2 'Instead of always being busy, one should have a relaxed life style.' Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

 

1. I don’t support having a relaxed and unhurried life. First of all, pressure engenders impetus. If you always keep living a relaxed life, you can learn nothing and even find life tedious, because you have no idea what you are living for. Furthermore, it’s impossible for one to be relaxed forever. Life is full of chances and challenges. If you are used to an invariable and easygoing life style, you’ll be not able to deal with the chances or emergencies in your life. That’s why I oppose the relaxed and unhurried life style.

2. I do not believe a relaxed way of life is good for a young person for the following reasons. At first, a relaxed way of life can help one become lazy. For example, I have a friend Jennifer, who is from a rich family. Her life is so easy that she does not have worry about many things. As a result she does not work hard in her studies and failed in 2 major exams and has to do them again in the next semester.  Also a relaxed way of life will help make one less competitive. My last boss Simpson was once so successful that he started enjoying himself a lot more than before. Little by little his performance dropped and the company had to let him go. Now he is working as a cleaner for a football club. What a difference!

2. The foundation between friends is honesty. If a friend is honest to you, if he can’t share any secrets with you, I would call him a stranger not a friend. Because friends tell.Humor is also important. You probably will get bored hanging out with someone who tells the same joke and wears the same clothe everyday.

3. As I see it, I would have to say the most important feature is friendship is honesty. First, because honesty is the most important character of a person when get along or just work with each others. When the dating time is coming, your friend suddenly tells you that she could not come because of a stomachache but actually she is shopping now. Can you imagine how hurtful is? Second, being honest to others means respect to each other. I have never told a lie to my best friend Lily. You know, in order to further our relationship, we believe and respect with each other. So I always share my experience to her, whatever is happy or depressed. So that’s why I consider honesty is the most important feature in friendship.

Q2 Some people get most of their news from newspapers and magazines. Others get information from TV or other media. Which sources of news do you prefer and why?

 

1. I prefer get news from newspapers and magazines. First, because they’re pretty portable to carry. Whether I take a train or take a bus, I can put the newspapers or magazines into my bag. I guess I could get more information than those who sleep in the bus. Also, reading newspapers and magazines are less harmful to our eyes. Everyone knows, we would be tired if we watch TV for an hour but reading newspapers and magazines can’t. Finally, faced with a sea of information, I could choose some news I’m interested in to read. However, if I watch TV or other media, I must watch or listen from its beginning to the end. So, that’s why I prefer get news from newspapers and magazines.

2. Compare to media such as newspaper and magazines, I prefer to watch news from TV. For one thing, it is very convenient to obtain the latest information from TV. Once you possess a TV set, you could simply turn it on whenever you want to get the information you need. If you tempt to know news from other parts of the world, all you need to do is to turn to the world news channel. Also, TV can report the latest and even live events. When the 27th Olympic Games took place in Sydney, I was able to see the events at the same time as people in Sydney, even without being there. However, newspapers and magazines can’t provide things like that.

3. Some people prefer to get news from the newspapers or magazines, while, I would like to take information from the Internet. Firstly, compared with the newspapers, Internet can offer me the first hand information as soon as possible. In addition, with the vivid pictures and the videos of the live interview, I would get clear understanding of the event. Secondly, I can make use of the Internet to search for the news which I am interested, but the television just play all the time no matter I like it or not. That's why I like to get news from the Internet.
