Your city has decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in your country. Who would you choose? Use

7、 reasons and specific examples to support your choice.If my city has decided to build a statue to honor a famous person in my country, I would choose a late singer, Teresa Teng. She was born in 1950s, and died of a severe asthma attack at age 41 in May 1995 while holidaying in Chiang Mai, Thailand,

8、triggering an outpouring of grief among her legions of fans in Asia and elsewhere. During her brilliant stage career, favored by fans all over Asia, she moved millions of people. Her famous songs include sweet, story of small town, and the moon represents my heart, etc. It was said that it was her w

9、ho introduced several generations in China to a certain field of popular music. Her songs have accompanied the growth and development of many people in China. In the home of these generations soul, her sweet voice has become immortal beauty and memory. Although shes gone, her sound of singing has ne

10、ver vanished. She is constantly commemorated; from Beijing to Taipei, Hong Kong to Singapore, her ubiquitous fans observe her commemoration from time to time, cherishing her incredible beauty, and her voice that sounds to come from heaven. Her sweet songs made her a legend, and are still regularly h

11、eard on radio, and continue to have a following in Chinese communities all over the world. She should be remembered not only because of her beauty and voice, but also because of her great charity. She founded Teresa Teng Foundation during her lifetime. The purpose of the foundation is to cultivate a

12、nd support gifted artists, and at the same time the foundation includes a trust to distribute scholarship to make sure that art students have opportunities to accomplish what they actually can. Every year, The Teresa Teng Foundation also send a great amount of money as a charity to help homeless chi

13、ldren. And these activities are supported by her fans all over the world.3. Describe a custom from your country that you would like people from other countries to adopt. Explain your choice, using specific reasons and examples.My favorite custom from Chinese culture that I wish that other countries

14、would adopt is Respect the Old, Love the Young. These two ideas have been part of traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years, but they are more important than ever in contemporary Chinese culture. If adopted by Western countries, these two traditional attitudes could help them solve some of

15、their social problems. One major problem in many Western countries is what to do with old people when they can no longer take careof themselves. A Chinese family will often have three generations of one family living under the same roof. They love and respect the older generation, and consider them

16、wise. Western people believe that living with ones own parents is inconvenient and embarrassing. Instead of respecting old people, some think that they are stupid and ugly. When Western families parents get old, they would rather send them into nursing homes and retirement homes than live together w

17、ith them. Only old and sick people live in these places and they are considered depressing, in the worst cases they might seem like a prison to their inhabitants. Old people in the West would be much happier if they adopted these traditional Chinese attitudes.Juvenile delinquency is another serious

18、social problem in Western cultures. Its causes can also be traced back to a lack of respect for old people and love for young people. Children are not taught to respect the wishes of their parents and instead value their relationships with their friends more. Because in many Western families both pa

19、rents have jobs outside of the home, children often lack adequate supervision. Chinese families, by contrast, often have at least one parent, or a grandparent at home to take care of and love the children. Children without proper guidance and love from a young age might start to smoke, drink, use dr

20、ugs, and commit crimes. This occurs much less frequently in China because people pay more attention to their children and have the childrens grandparents nearby to help raise them. The West puts the Individual before the Family. Traditional Chinese culture puts the interests of the Family first, and

21、 the Individual second. Chinese mothers and fathers place higher value on their childs development, than on their childs independence. Children place a higher value on then-parents happiness than on their own convenience. While there are many excellent lessons that Chinese people can learn from the

22、West, Western people would do well to learn from these essential Chinese traditions.4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising can tell you a lot about a country. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Advertising does not mean to educate or illustrate. P

23、rimarily it is a vehicle for business and it aims to sell products. As a result, the information we can gather from looking at advertisings is quite limited. However, the cultural ideas used to sell commodities reveal a societys value system, and from the nature of the advertising and the product it

24、 aims to sell we can draw conclusions as to which social demography might be the most affluent. In order to be most effective an advertising campaign will make use of the cultural values of a country. Obviously, companies will be able to sell more products if a great many people relate to the goods

25、and the images used to sell them. For example, in a country like the United States where a great percentage of the population is religious, advertisers use expressions such as heavenly, divine, or revelation, because these have connotations that prospective customers will likely identify with.Simila

26、rly, advertisers will try to employ fashionmodels who embody a cultures ideals of personal beauty, because attractive men and women will sell more products than unattractive ones.Companies identify social demographics or parts of society that are most likely to buy their products and design their ad

27、vertisings accordingly. For example, teenage girls are more likely to buy mobile phones than retired factory workers. Thus companies will make use of fashion trends in their ads and probably pay a famous pop singer a big chunk of money to endorse their product. If the majority of all advertisings in

28、 a country are geared towards a specific target market or audience, then this part of the population probably has the most financial resources at their disposal. Although we can learn some things about a country by looking at its advertising we have to remember that this knowledge is limited. After

29、all, advertising is only directed at people who have the means to buy consumer goods. Thus advertising does not tell us anything about the overall prosperity or likes and dislikes of a country. Also, advertising not only reflects but also tries to shape and change cultural values. Therefore, it does

30、 not accurately reflect the exact state of a countrys culture.5. A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.China is an enormous country with an intensely varied landscape. If a f

31、oreign visitor were coming for just one day to see our country, it would be difficult to choose just one place to spend the day. However, I posit that the best place in China to visit would be Beijing. As the capital city, Beijing offers a diverse look at China. I would suggest that the main sites t

32、o see would be the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square. The Forbidden City offers the visitor a look at what it was like to live in historical China. The Forbidden City is located in the heart of Beijing, and is the biggest palace complex in the world. This particular site would be

33、of interest to a tourist because it was once the home of many emperors. One can see the actual rooms from whence the ancient China was ruled by the emperors. When the visitor walks through the palace confines, he/she will see many examples of classic Chinese architecture. A walk through the gardens

34、is particularly peaceful with jasmine trees abound.The Great Wall is also a must-see in China. The people of China hold the Great Wall as having particular significance to their culture because of its long history. The wall, built of dirt, stone and brick, was used as a defense barrier against invad

35、ing nomads and wandering tribes.This is the largest engineering and building project ever carried out by humans. Its historic and strategic importance is matched only by its architectural significance. Finally, Tiananmen Square should be on the list of things to see while visiting Beijing. This squa

36、re is one of the largest in China, and possibly in Asia. At this square, one can visit the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, one of the greatest leaders ever in China. The Chinese Revolutionary Museum and the Chinese History Museum stand to the east of the square, the Great Hall of the People to the west

37、and the magnificent Tiananmen Tower to the north. As the visitor will see, there are numerous interesting exhibits at Tiananmen Square that offer up a variety of Chinese heritage. Of course, it is very difficult to name one city in China over all others as the place to visit. China is the host to su

38、ch a wide variety of beautiful places, and a visitor really should spend much more time exploring them all. However, with only one day, I believe that Beijing is the best place to visit.6. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Dancing plays an important role in a culture. Use specif

39、ic reasons and examples to support your answer.There are a number of qualities that have always been present in cultures, recent or ancient. These qualities can be anything from art forms to culturally gained knowledge. These qualities make the culture unique, and allow the culture to offer somethin

40、g interesting to the world. Throughout history, dancing has always played such a role in cultures. This is because dance allows us to express emotion, preserve heritage, and entertain. Dancing has always held a high position in culture, as it is an excellent way of expressing emotion. Much like the

41、painter using color to convey emotion, dancers can use their body as a tool to show the onlooker their happiness, sadness, pain, etc. Dancing is also an excellent method of retaining and preserving culture. Many cultures have dance as part of their ceremonies, whether the ceremony is religious or pa

42、triotic in form. For example, it is a widely practiced norm to have people dance out a glorious moment in battle. In religion, it is common forpeople to dance toappease the God or Gods. Because of this, dancing is an excellent way to maintain culture, and ensure that important moments of the past ar

43、e not forgotten.In modern days, it is much more common for dancing to be seen as a form of entertainment. Dancing has become somewhat of a sport in some countries,for example , ballroom dancing is very popular in the United States. There are hundreds of bars and disco clubs all over China which focu

44、s on dancing. They provide disc jockeys, more commonly referred to as D.J.s, and play loud, repetitive music which encourages the young people to dance. There are many different styles of dance, but all bring the dancer to have fun, and get a good workout at the same time.7. Do you agree or disagree

45、 with the following statement? People behave differently when they wear different clothes.Do you agree that different clothes influence the way people behave? Use specific examples to support your answer.It seems that people do sometimes behave differently when they wear different clothes. For examp

46、le, a well-dressed man seldom spits at random, a woman in glorious dresses is more likely to talk in a gentle tone, and a clean dressed child seems quiet than others. It might be explained that different dresses give people differentself-images, and most people subconsciously behave according to the

47、ir own self-images.Equally sensible is another factor, that is, all too often people regard a person differently according to his/her dresses. Therefore, people might behave differently when they wear different clothes because they are treated differently.Also, appropriate dresses do help a lot in c

48、ertain circumstances. It is not difficult to imagine that a doctor with a casual suit instead of his/her formal one will certainly make his/her patients nervous, for doctors in working hours are always supposed to be in white suits. An applicant in his/her first interview will be naturally accompani

49、ed with great mental tension. If he/she was well-dressed, by well we do not mean expensively or gloriously, we mean neatly, he/she would appear more self-confident and or even be self-confident in deed. However, merely a suit in itself can contribute little. In fact, peoples behaviors inevitably ref

50、lect their very nature. A poor gentleman dressed in rags is still a gentleman. He knows the essential principles that a civilized individual must observe, he knows fundamental moral disciplines which an educated individual must follow. A parvenu on the other hand, will finally find out the fact that

51、 his exorbitantly dear dresses is of no use to make himself a gentleman, and he even eventually fail to make him look like a gentleman. Maybe those are right who said it takes at least three generations to cultivate a gentleman. In a word, I do not believe that clothes can essentially make people di

52、fferent, even though they might sometimes seemingly do.8. What do you consider to be the most important room in a house? Why is this room more important to you than any other room? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.Whereas others might feel ridiculous, I reckon the bathroom a

53、s the most important room in my house, even though other rooms such as the reading room or the sitting room are probably equally important. First of all, the bathroom is the most important because it is highly visible to guests. We may be able to close off the bedroom to indicate that the room is of

54、f-limits, but we cannot deny our visitors access to the bathroom. The most overlooked in general though it might be, the bathroom is a room which demands attention as much as possible. For example, it is absolutely an ugly design if the toilet is placed directly opposite the door, all too often the

55、embarrassment happens when the door is accidentally unlocked. And it is the host to blame if the bathroom is dirty, smelly, or even scattered about in a mess. The bathroom is very important because every family member will inevitably use that room, in which the most important part of family sanitati

56、ons is located. Personal health of family member is no doubt superior to any other concerns. It should be spacious, bright, tidy, and above all, hygienic, and deserve frequent cleaningin fact, the room we cannot clean too much, specifically, the toilet seat. Moreover, more than one bathroom are virt

57、ually needed, if possible. It is not only embarrassing or inconvenient but would also be absurd and irritating if someone knocks at the door when we are using the lavatory. Another reason I put special emphasis upon bathroom came from my experiences. According to my conception, bathroom is not only

58、for toileting, washing, and showering, but for reading as well. Dont be surprised, I have a very spacious and bright bathroom in my house, in which, an arm away from the stool is a small bookshelf, a little bit highly located on the wall to prevent books and newspapers from getting wet. I have alrea

59、dy discovered that I have to spend more than 30 minutes a day in the bathroom, and that moment is so ideally quiet and easy to concentrate. Believe it or not, I learnt a computer programming language Delphi - while I was sitting on the stool!9. A gift (such as a camera, a soccer ball, or an animal)

60、can contribute to a childs development. What gift would you give to help a child develop? Why? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.Childs development is often supplemented by the gifts they receive from important adults in their life. It is important to choose these gifts carefu
