Part two
Describe a child you are familiar with.
His or her name
How old he/she is
What his/her hobby is
I want to talk about my nephew, Martin. He is the son of my sister. He is about 7 years old now, and he is studying at a primary school.
When he was about 3 years old, he began to learn painting, and he spends a lot of time on that every day. He likes to draw cartoon characters like Garfield and Snoopy. Last year, he won a national prize for painting, which gives him more motivation. He also likes to play with his friends. Nowadays, there are a lot of children who are lonely. My sister wants him to have more opportunities to enjoy his childhood. On weekends, my nephew is encouraged to invite his classmates or neighbors to come. They enjoy the games that they like. They play board games, chess or monopoly. It’s really terrific to see so many children hanging around. Besides, my nephew is also polite. He knows that he should offer his seats to the elders on the bus, and he will not have snacks until those who are older have taken their share. I guess that’s why he is popular.
Part three
Interviewer: Who are luckier, children in the past or at present?
Candidate: In the past, children didn’t have a lot of toys or snacks, but they didn’t have a lot of pressure in their study. Nowadays, children have rich material life, but they don’t have the fun children had before.
Interviewer: What’s the pressure brought to children by their schools and parents?
Candidate: Chinese children are the only child of their family, and parents have great expectations on them.
Interviewer: What do you think of primary school education in China?
Candidate: Children are not taught to be creative. Instead, they are modeled in the same way. If children have different ideas from teachers, those ideas will be criticized. To be frank, I guess the primary school education is a failure.
Interviewer: What did you like when you were a child?
Candidate: I liked to play games and enjoyed going to the mountains on weekends with my parents.
Interviewer: How can parents educate their children?
Candidate: Parents should try to spend some time communicating with their children and know about what the children are thinking about. Besides, parents should always set examples for children.
Interviewer: What’s the difference between Chinese children and western children?
Candidate: Chinese children are more obedient, and they like to follow the instructions of their elderly. On the other hand, western children are better at their creativity and imagination. Interviewer: What’s the difference between western parents and Chinese parents?
Candidate: Western parents tend to treat their children like friends, and they try to reason with their children.
Children feel respected. Chinese parents always want to be authoritative in front of their children. Interviewer: Do you think that young people should have more freedom?
Candidate: Yes. Young people in China are controlled by their parents, and they should be free to make decisions for themselves.
Interviewer: Do you think that parents care too much about children’s education?
Candidate: Chinese parents want their children to be the best among the peers and they spend much money sending children to learn different skills like dancing, singing or painting. I think they care too much about children’s education.

从事冒险活动的人Adventurous person
这个人不一定是身边的人,也有可能是影视中的角色,也有可能是名人或者历史人物。考生最好准备 一下相关的极限运动名称,词汇。
Part two
Describe an adventurous person.
Who the person is
How you knew about this person
Why you think she/he is adventurous
How often you meet her/him
I got to know about this adventurous person from a TV program. There was a Japanese man, who is about 60 years old. He decided to do something he had always wanted to do after his retirement. He wanted to conquer all the mountains in his country. He started the journey in June, and then he climbed over 100 mountains in Japan within one year. When he was interviewed in the program, he quoted a famous mountaineer. He said, “The mountain is there.” When I was watching the program, I was quite impressed. Everyone has a dream, and not many people have the courage to fulfill their dream, but he did it. I admire him, and I really want to be like him some day in the future.
Part three
Interviewer: Are you an adventurous person?
Candidate: I don’t think so. I don’t even want to ride the roller-coaster, and it is terrifying
experience for me. I really don’t understand why so many people are crazy about it. Interviewer: Do you think that the society should help the adventurous person?
Candidate: I don’t think so. The adventurous people are those who do extreme games, and it is risky. We shouldn’t encourage this kind of behavior, but we should rescue them when their life is in danger.
Interviewer: Do you know any adventurous activities/extreme games?
Candidate: Car racing and hot air ballooning are extreme games and it is dangerous. Parachuting is an extreme game as well. Interviewer: Do you like them?
Candidate: It is too risky for me, and I have no interest in it at all. I have only one life, and I don’t want to sacrifice my life for it.
Interviewer: Why do people like adventures?
Candidate: Some people are born with the adventurous spirit and they can’t resist the temptation to take risks. Life is meaningless if there is no adventurous experience. Interviewer: Why are there so many adventurous programs?
Candidate: Some people don’t do it themselves, but they like to watch it. They are curious about that kind of life.
Interviewer: What’s your idea of people spending extra money on this?
Candidate: It’s ok. As long as people can afford the game, they can buy whatever they like. People have the freedom to spoil their hobby a little bit.

历史人物A person in history
谈论这个卡片的时候要注意中外文化的差距。很多外国人不了解中国的历史人物,所以在谈论的时候 要特别注意表述方式。不要准备特别有名的历史人物。可以谈论张衡,西施,王昭君等有趣的人物。 Part two
I’d like to talk about the first female emperor in Chinese history. She was Wu Zetian. She was born of a royal family during the Tang Dynasty. She entered Emperor Taizong's harem when she was 13 and that of the successive emperor Gaozong after. She was a master of manipulation and she persuaded the emperor to declare her one rank below the empress consort. Eventually, the Emperor married Wu. When Gaozong suffered a stroke five years later, Wu governed behind the scenes. She created a secret police force to spy on her opposition, jailing or killing those who stood in her way. After Gaozong’s death she reigned through puppet emperors, her sons Zhongzong and Ruizong. She finally proclaimed herself Emperor, the first woman to do so. She died shortly after. Despite her ruthless climb to power, her rule was benign. Wu reduced the size of the standing army, and replaced aristocrats in the government with scholars. She was fair to the peasantry, lowering taxes, raising agricultural production, and strengthening public works. Wu also campaigned to elevate the status of women and had scholars write biographies of
famous women. She was considered to be the first one in Chinese history to try to improve the social status of women.
Part three
Is it important to learn history?
Absolutely. History is essential to us as we will learn some lessons from the events in the past and avoid making the same mistakes again in the future.
Do you think children should learn the history of their own country or that of other countries? I guess children should learn both national and international history. Once they have learned the history of their country, they are going to be proud of the long tradition. What’s the importance of knowing the family history?
I really don’t know much about my family history. I just heard from my grandfather that his grandfather came from another province, and they moved to the present place about a hundred years ago.
Where did you get information about your family history?
Most of time, I heard the stories from my grandparents. They told me about their past events. What do you think about forgetting history?
I think it’s unforgivable. Everyone should remember their history. It is the root of a nation. Without it, people have got no roots.
What do you think of recording history with computer photos and other things?
Well, it’s a good way as well, but the only problem is that photos are going to be lost if there is something wrong with the computer system. Printed photos are better choices.
你所崇拜的领导人A leader you admire
在谈论这张卡片的时候一定要注意。尽量少谈论政治人物。很多考生都喜欢谈论毛主席,周总理,但 是考官听了太多次了,所以一定要谈论令考官感兴趣的内容。
I’d like to talk about a businessman. He is Niu Gensheng, chairman of Mengniu Dairy Group. He has experienced a lot of ups and downs in his life. He has a motto, that it, few people have gone through the experience from having nothing to possessing something, and then back to state of having nothing again.
Gaining possessions brings one satisfaction because his value is acknowledged, and giving up what one has earns him respect. He has won people’s respect because he has donated a lot of money to charity, which not many entrepreneurs can do. He has made an impression on me also because once he said that while many Chinese firms have yet to reach a stage where they can shoulder the cost of corporate social responsibility. It gave priority to the environment from the start. He began a project in 2004 using cow manure to generate electricity for civil use. The
company produces 800 tons of cow manure e day.
He believed that "By doing this, farmers are happy, society is happy, those drinking milk are happy and those realizing that we are not damaging the environment are happy." I really admire his courage and soul.
Part three
Do you want to be a leader?
Well, I don’t want to be a leader as being a leader means a lot of pressure. What you do is going to be the focus of others. If you make a wrong move, maybe the whole team is going to fail. What qualities should a leader have?
A good leader is supposed to have sharp insight. He or she should know when to take actions to compete with his opponents in business.
How do you think we can improve the leaders’ quality?
They may take the courses for the leaders. They should learn how to cope with people of different personalities. They should also take the advice from others. Do you think a leader should be perfect in all field?
Not necessarily. The most important quality for a leader is the strategy of managing people. He should have the charm of attracting elites from all walks of life. Why do we need a leader?
A leader is going to give us global views and tell us when to take the right action. As long as we follow their instructions, we are going to succeed. What can they do?
Leaders are going to make plans for us, allocate the tasks between us. Also, they know what the best solution is for a problem.
Why do some people not want to be leaders?
Well, for me, a leader means a lot of responsibilities. Other people’s future relies on me. I have to be extremely cautious. I don’t want to worry about this all the time. What is the world going to be like without leaders?
I guess the world is going to be a chaos. People’s life and property cannot be protected. People are not going to have a safe life any longer. Anything can happen to them. Is the communication skill important to a leader?
This skill is really essential to leader. They are supposed to express their ideas to their employees. They should also have negotiation with leaders of other organizations. That’s why they must have this kind of skill.
Is it important for leaders to take other people’s advice?
They should listen to other people’s advice, but they are going to make the final decision. As long as they believe that their moves are definitely correct, they should do it. Do you think leaders are the examples of people?
I guess so. A lot of people admire them, and they should set a good example. Common people may want to learn from their experience. Should leaders be heroes?
Not exactly. Some leaders are legendary. Heroes are the people who save the people, country or world. Leaders should have the power which will make people admire them and listen to them. That’s enough.
Do they have to be right all the time?
Nobody can be right all the time. Sometimes they make wrong decisions as well, but it doesn’t matter. They should have the courage to admit their error and then readjust the direction. What will happen if they embezzle?
They are going to be penalized by law and they result in prison. If the amount is substantial, they are going to be sentenced to life imprisonment or death penalty.

Why you particularly enjoyed it
Explain the traditional way to celebrate birthdays in your country
I think the most memorable party is my own birthday party. It was my 19th birthday. This party was held on campus. I was sleeping that day. All at once, my classmate woke me up, and he said that my letter was in their dormitory room. I felt puzzled because I never wrote letters to anybody. Who could write to me? I went to their room with him. When we got to the door, he opened the door for me. The room was dark and I could only see many eyes. I realized I was cheated. And then they pushed me to the table. I saw a big cake on the table, and I suddenly remembered it was my birthday. Then, they sang‘happy birthday to you’. I felt pleased and deeply touched. I knew the occasion might be the only one in my life. And I will never forget that party or my
classmates.
Part 3
Interviewer: Do you often have birthday celebrations?
Candidate: Yes. I have birthday celebrations every year, sometimes with my family and sometimes with my classmates or friends.
Interviewer: Are there any traditions concerning the birth of a baby?
Candidate: In the past, a celebration would be given to celebrate the birth of a male child. Friends and relatives would be invited. I think nowadays we only give some clothes or gifts to the couple having a new baby. Or sometimes we will have dinner together to celebrate.
Interviewer: What kind of parent do you intend to be?
Candidate: I will be very understanding. I hope I can have communication with my child. When my child has trouble, I’m the one that he turns to.
Interviewer: What do you think of One-Child Policy in China?
Candidate: I think this policy is necessary in China. We have too many people in China. If we don’t carry out this policy, I believe there will be some new problems coming out.
Interviewer: Why do people in China traditionally want to have a son?
Candidate: Because China used to be an agricultural country and many people live on land. Boys are strong and will be a good labor when they grow up.
Interviewer: What sort of culture do you hope your child will grow up in?
Candidate: I hope my child can grow up healthily and do what he likes. It doesn’t matter what kind of culture he grows up in.
Interviewer: Do you think birthday party should be held that day?
Candidate: It’s not necessary. As long as we stay with our friends or family members, it is memorable. It doesn’t matter how we celebrate the birthday.
Interviewer: What are the differences between young people and the elder’s way of thinking bout birthday?
Candidate: Most young people regard birthdays as the time to have a get-together with their friends, and they will receive a lot of gifts. As for the old, it’s the time to have a family reunion, and children will visit their parents no matter how far they are from home.
Interviewer: What are the differences between children's birthday and adult's birthday?
Candidate: Parents tend to have special parties for children, and they will buy gifts and invite friends to come.
As for adults, birthdays are the time to have meals with family.
Interviewer: Which birthday is the special one for Chinese children? Why?
Candidate: I guess the first birthday is the most special one, and it is the time for parents to hold big celebrations. Friends and relatives will give some red eggs to them. They will wish the children good luck and a bright future.
Interviewer: What are the special days for you? Why?
Candidate: There is no special day for me. Maybe birthdays and anniversaries are essential to me. I will do something different on that day.
Interviewer: What are the important celebrations for Chinese?
Candidate: Weddings are the important occasions for the Chinese, and nowadays if children are admitted to a university, their parents will have a dinner party for them.
Interviewer: Is it good to give money as gifts?
Candidate: I don’t think so. Money as gifts cannot express our concern and emotions for others. It is considered to be too materialistic in China. If we care about a person, maybe we should make an object by hand and give it to our friends.

A person in history
婚礼Wedding
Ok, I am going to give you a topic now. You can prepare for one minute and you can talk about it for two minutes.
Describe a wedding that you attended.
You should say:
When it was
Who got married
What happened at the wedding
Explain whether it was a typical wedding ceremony.
I want to talk about the wedding ceremony of my colleague. She got married about five years ago. The wedding ceremony was held in a restaurant which is called “Red Rose”. Many people were present. The bride was in a red dress which looked very striking. She toasted with each of us and every guest wished the new couple good luck and happiness and hoped their love could last forever. When she passed by me, I asked her in private, “How do you feel?” She gave me a shy smile and said, “My heart is beating very fast and I feel very excited.” After a little while, we asked them to perform for us. They sang a song together. We cheered and clapped our hands while listening. This kind of wedding is very common in China. And marriage is a kind of strong tie between two people. The bride and the bridegroom will dress up and red decorations can be seen everywhere because it means luck in China. Sometimes we play tricks on the newlyweds to make the atmosphere better.
Part three
What’s the legal age for marriage in China?
According to our law, females are allowed to get married at the age of twenty, while men should wait until after they are twenty-two.
When do people get married now?
Chinese people tend to get marriage when they are about thirty years old. At that time, they are mature and know how to shoulder the responsibility of a family.
What will it be like in the future?
I guess there is a tendency that some Chinese people prefer to remain single, or they get married rather late.
In UK, people get married when they are 18 years old. Is it ok?
I guess as long as people know what they want, it doesn’t matter how old they are. Besides, westerners know more about love and marriage than Chinese people, so I think they can get married earlier.
Do you think that the legal age for marriage is going to change in the future?
I don’t think so. There is no need for us to change it.
What’s the difference between the opinions of men and women about marriage?
Men want to get married when they believe it is time to have a family. As for women, they get
married because they are in love with a man.
家人Family member
这张卡片谈论的是你的家庭成员,考生可以用到基本卡片中的老人,孩子,冒险的人,老师。开头只 需要加上这句话。

Part three
Can you describe your family to me?
Well, there are five people in my family, my parents, my sisters and me.
Is it of a typical family structure?
It used to be popular 20 years ago. People wanted to have more kids in a family at that time. What do you think of the change of family structure in the past years?
Well, in the past, the grandparents lived with their children and grandchildren. But at present, children will have their own family after they get married. They tend to move out and live by themselves.
Women’s role in the family has changed. What do you think of this?
Well, I think this is a symbol of the development of the society. In the past, women had no income and they had to depend on their husband, but now women can do what they like, and they can support themselves. Women have more freedom and they have their status in the society. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living together for the family members?
If children live with their grandparents, they learn how to take care of the old, but the problem is that old people tend to spoil children. It’s hard for parents to discipline the children. Do you think that all family members will live together or separately in future?
I guess in the future, family members will live together in China, as they can take care of each other.
If they live separately, it takes them a long time to get to each other’s home.
Has the government done anything to support families?
The government has some programs which support poor families to meet the lowest living standard.
The families can get money from the government at the beginning of e month.

What it was
The size of it
The advantages of studying there
Your pleasure of learning there
Candidate: I’d like to introduce you the high school I attended. It was not very big but rather clean and beautiful. At that time, there were about 1000 students coming from different parts of the city. There were two buildings. One was five-storey high, and the other one was a building for accommodation. We got advanced facilities. We had basketball fields, a football pitch and tennis courts as well. After we finished our study, we would do our favorite sports on the playground. We had a lot of fun. When I was studying there, I found it rather good to study there because there were many foreign teachers. They told us some interesting things about their country and we would tell them something about China as well. We had the chance to practice our spoken English. We also had very colorful extracurricular activities. Students often took part in some activities together. I joined a DIY club, and we learned to make things by hand.
Part Three

Candidate: Good teachers should have great responsibility. Students would like to talk with them. They can give students a lot of guidance.
Interviewer: What’s a bad teacher?
Candidate: A bad teacher doesn’t have the patience to answer students’ questions, and a bad teacher is always late for the classes.
Interviewer: What do you think of private schools and public schools?
Candidate: The tuition is high in private schools, but the facilities are quite advanced. Most children go to public schools because the government can help them pay the tuition.
Interviewer: What are the difficulties teachers will confront?
Candidate: If students are not very cooperative in the class, I guess the teacher will be upset. Besides, teachers do not like students who are absent-minded in the class.
Interviewer: Do you think being a teacher is a good profession?
Candidate: It depends. The salary is not high, but a teacher has a lot of free time.
Interviewer: How can you become a teacher in China?

Interviewer: What’s the greatest responsibility of a teacher?
Candidate: I guess guiding students to be both confident and competent is the duty of a teacher. Besides, a teacher should also be able to teach students how to acquire knowledge.

Candidate: The pressure of a teacher is comparatively little, and this is a respectable job.

Part Two
What are the differences between the schools in the country and the schools in the city?
The schools in the countryside can’t find qualified teachers and their textbooks or study aids are quite primitive. As for the schools in the city, they can choose the teachers that they like. Their quality is higher than those in the countryside.
What are the differences between their facilities?

老师 Teacher

Where you met him/her
What subject he/she taught
What was special about him/her
Explain why he/she influenced you so much
I have many teachers in my years of education, and there is only one teacher who will remain in my memory forever. His name is Tom, and he taught me spoken English in a language school last year. He’s not tall but he’s energetic. He comes from America. He’s humorous but in class he was strict with us. We were not allowed to speak Chinese and had to take a quiz every day. If you failed, you had to stay in the classroom studying until you could talk to him in English fluently. One day, I left my textbook in the classroom, and when I returned, it was already 9 o’clock in the evening. Much to my surprise, Tom was still there helping some of my classmates improving their pronunciation. And his voice was low and husky, I was quite sure he didn’t have dinner. He made a strong impression on me because of his responsibility. I will remember him forever.
Part three
Interviewer: What do you think education should be?
Candidate: I guess education should focus on the development of ability of students. The capability of students should be explored.
Interviewer: Are there any problems in education?
Candidate: Well, I think education in China has got some problems. Traditional education makes students bored. Teachers only teach them to remember the figures in the books, and we can’t encourage students to be creative.
Interviewer: How do you think the government can solve the problem?
Candidate: Governments should bring some reforms to examination system, co-operate with foreign universities, encourage students to study aboard, and teachers should be sent to other countries to receive some training.
Interviewer: What impressed you most when you were at university?
Candidate: There were both happiness and bitterness in my memory. I think the academic ability and responsibility of my teachers made me impressed.
Interviewer: What’s the difference between today’s education and that of twenty years ago? Candidate: In the past, many children couldn’t go to school, and educational conditions were terrible. But now, government offers compulsory education. Each child is endowed with the right go to school.
Interviewer: Do schools teach non-academic courses?
Candidate: No, we rarely have non-academic courses. The subjects are all relevant to our entrance exam to university.
Interviewer: Do you think that schools should be responsible for teaching these non-academic courses?

Candidate: I’d like to study Law in the future. Nowadays our country pays much attention to establishing a society of legal system, and laws are becoming more and more important to our country and people.
Different from before, people now often turn to laws when they have trouble in China, so if I can learn Law well, it will be helpful to me. I plan to study law in my leisure time by myself, but maybe sometimes I will attend some classes in universities. I think I can study it well. Maybe next time you see me, I have already become a lawyer. If I study Law well and become a lawyer, then I can help many people resolve their problems, make the law more reasonable and make some contributions to our society.

科目Subject
需要注意的是,在这个卡片里面提到的专业是在“school”阶段,绝对不能讲述大学时代的课程。曾经有学生
因此而在考试中失分。
Part Two
Describe a subject you studied at school.
When you learned it
Who taught it
How the teacher taught it
Explain why it was your favorite.
Candidate:During my school days, I was greatly attached to chemistry. Perhaps it’s because of my chemistry teacher, Mr. Li. Without his guidance and enlightenment, I would have totally failed to study it.
Generally speaking, Mr. Li was a conscientious and responsible teacher. He preferred traditional teaching ways, but it didn’t mean that he was a pedantic teacher. In his class, he did not try to put everything into students’ brains but tried to establish mutual communication at first place. His class was divided into two parts. One was the lecture on textbooks, and the other one was practice part. In the second part, Mr. Li would ask some of us to do exercises on the blackboard and bring forward several questions. After we finished, he would point out our mistakes and correct them one by one in a very lucid and straightforward way to make himself understood. I benefited so much from his teaching that later chemistry became my favorite subject. Although it has been three years since I graduated from high school, I still remember Mr. Li and his class. Part Three
Interviewer:When should children go to school?
Candidate:I think normally children should start school at the age of six. They are very curious at this age and it is easy for them to grasp new skills.
Interviewer:What’s the best age to learn skills?
Candidate:Well, it’s hard to say. It depends on the skills people want to learn. I think we can start at nearly any age. If we want to learn driving, we must learn it after we are 16.
Interviewer:Which one is more important, learning by oneself or at schools?
Candidate:For my part, leaning by oneself is more important. Teachers are guides, and you must depend on yourself for improving your ability.
Interviewer:What do you think of the qualities of teachers?
Candidate:Some teachers are quite qualified, and they can teach students useful information, but we can’t deny the fact that there are some teachers who don’t know what they are talking about.
Interviewer:What’s the difference between university education and the education for you in the past?
Candidate:Well, I think the biggest difference is that teachers are no longer the master of class, and they discuss many questions with students. And also teachers do not tell students what to do but encourage them to think by themselves.
Interviewer:Do you think schools should teach more subjects?
Candidate:Yes. In this way, students can attain knowledge more abundantly, and their general interests will be aroused.
Interviewer:Will teachers change in future?
Candidate:If there should be any changes, teachers may become students’ friends, and they can learn something from each other.
Interviewer:Are teachers necessary since you can learn by yourself?
Candidate:Yes, I think teachers are the essential part of studying. Sometimes you can’t learn only by yourself. Teachers can give advice to you because their experience will save you a lot of trouble. Whey you make a mistake, they can paint it out.
Interviewer:Do you think that teachers will be replaced by computers?
Candidate: They are complementary. Teachers can give you face to face guidance, but computers can give education to those who stay at home.
学英语 Learning English
Part 2
Examiner: I’m going to give you a topic, and you can prepare for one minute.
Describe your experience of learning English.
You should say:
when you start to learn English ,
describe most interesting English class ,
which thing help to your English .
And explain the importance of learning English.
Candidate: English is the most popular language now in China with the entering of WTO. English is the official language of many countries, and the working language in the United Nations is also English. We are in the age of development and I believe that English is the necessary skill for us. If a person can speak fluent English, he or she can find a position in a foreign company, which will provide a wide scope for him or her for future development.
Besides, we can communicate freely with others if we travel around the world because it is an international language. Some people may think that it is only a tool like a dictionary, but actually, we can benefit a lot from it. I started learning English after I entered the middle school and we had only four hours of English every week. I like
English very much but at that time, I didn’t realize the importance of it. One day, my English teacher invited a foreigner to our class and we talked to each other about simple topics in English. We communicated freely but of course there were moments that we couldn’t understand each other but we enjoyed ourselves. I believe that’s the most interesting English class I’ve ever had. Now I always go to the English corners or watch English films at home and I think this is the most natural way of learning English. I know that learning English is a gradual process and I hope that my English is going to improve with my hard work.
Part 3
Interviewer: What’s dull in learning English?
Candidate: I don’t like learning the grammatical rules. I think it’s boring.
Interviewer: What’s difficult in learning English?
Candidate: In my opinion, learning vocabulary is most difficult. I spend a long time remembering words but in a few days, I forget them. It’s really frustrating.
Interviewer: Do you think it is difficult to learn Chinese?
Candidate: I think it’s easy because we don’t have strict rules for sentences and we don’t have changes of verbs. It’s much easier than English.
Interviewer: What is most interesting in learning English?
Candidate: I like having spoken English classes. When we can communicate with each other in English, it’s really pleasant.
Interviewer: When do most Chinese people start learning English?
Candidate: In the past, students started having English classes when they were middle school, but now English is taught in primary schools.
Interviewer: Is it true that all Chinese people can speak a little English?
Candidate: Not really. Young people can speak a little English, but old people can’t because when they were young, English was not regarded as important.
Interviewer: Is it necessary to have an international language?
Candidate: Yes. Cooperation between countries is increasing and if there is no barrier of languages, both technology and society is going to develop faster. Underdeveloped countries can learn from developed countries.

Character

Describe a character in TV or film.

Who this character is
What he does

My favorite character is an old man in ancient Chinese film. His name is Kua Fu. He determined to have a race with the Sun and catch up with Him. So he rushed in the direction of the Sun. Finally, he almost ran neck and neck with the Sun, when he was too thirsty and hot to continue. Where could he find some water? Just then the Yellow
River came into sight. He came to the river earnestly and drank the whole river. But he still felt thirsty and hot, thereupon, he marched northward for the lakes in the north of China. Unfortunately, he fell down and died halfway because of thirst. I admire this character as I learn some lessons from him. I know how to get strong determination.
No matter what you do, you must insist it on, and this is what you want.

Candidate: I guess not. I know it exists, but I rarely care about the news of this kind.
Examiner: Do you think that violence will affect young people?
