What doyou think are the characteristics of a good parent?
Well, in my opinion, agood parent should be well‐educated and patient. It’s said that parents are thefirst and most important teacher for children. So a parent should be well‐educated,otherwise, how could he/she deal with the tutoring? Secondly, everybody knowsthat to feed a baby is a time‐consuming work. It needs great patience. If theyare not patient enough, the baby would hurt itself. And leave a scar inforehead for example, that’ll be a disaster for him when he grows up.
在我看来,一个好父母应该受过良好教育并且有耐心。有人说,父母是孩子第一个也是最重要的老师子, 因此,家长应受过良好教育,否则,他/她怎么可能辅导孩子?其次,每个人都知道喂养婴儿是一个耗时的工作,它需要极大的耐心。如果他们没有足够的耐心,宝宝会伤害自己。比如,前额上留下疤痕,那他在 成长过程中是个灾难。

Also, if I have a caror some sort of transportation, I can easily go around to explore surroundingarea. Living in the forest is also wonderful. But I just don’t like the moistclimate there and mosquitoes. and desert is definitely a bad place to live,because I may not even have enough water to live. Looking back at the historyof our civilization, many cities and kingdoms were originally found on theplain area. Therefore, I believe the plain is also the most suitable for us tolive among the three.
我宁愿住在平原。首先,我喜欢视野开阔。其次,平原通常土壤肥沃,我可以种植粮食和饲料的动物。另 外,如果我有一辆汽车或其它运输工具,我可以很容易去探访周边地区。住在森林里也同样不错,但我不 喜欢潮湿气候和蚊子。沙漠地区绝不是个居住的好地方,因为我可能甚至没有足够的水来生活。回顾人类文明史,许多城市和王国最初发源于平原地区。因此,我相信平原也是三个中最适合我们居住的地方。

学习工作类
29 helpresearch Which onedo you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books? Explainwhy.
In my opinion, I thinkthat it is the Internet that helps us more while doing research. It could helpyou save a lot of time by using the Internet. For example, with a click on thebutton of your mouse, you can get maybe ten thousand pages of usefulinformation from the search engine Google. The click takes you only a split ofsecond. But if you want to get the same amount of information by readingacademic books, I bet it will take you at least several months.
在我看来,我认为互联网在调查研究方面给我们很多帮助。使用互联网可以帮你节省很多时间。例如,点击鼠 标上的按钮,你就可以从搜索引擎谷歌中得到成千上万页有用的信息。而点击只需要你极短的时间。但是如果你通过阅读学术书籍想获得相同数量的信息,我打赌至少得花费几个月。
30 booksand internet
Which onedo you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books?
Actually, both ofInternet and academic books are helpful in doing research, but nowadays I thinkInternet is much better. Firstly, Internet contains such a tremendous amount ofinformation that academic books can never compare with them. You may also raisea question about a topic and ask for help on the Internet. Furthermore, it's moreefficient and convenient to use the Internet; all you need is a computer, whilecarrying books around here and there can be very heavy. So I'd like to searchonline.
实际上,互联网和学术书籍在从事调查研究时都会很有帮助。但我认为目前互联网更好。首先,互联网包含大 量的信息,这是学术书籍所无法企及的。你也可以在互联网上提出关于一个主题的问题并且寻求帮助。此外, 使用互联网更有效,更便捷; 你所需要的只有一台电脑,而携带书籍东奔西走会非常沉。所以我愿意在网上 查找资料。
31 studyalone
Do youprefer to study alone on work assignment from class or to study in groups?
I have leaned that Idefinitely prefer to study alone because I am more successful this way. Themethod I like to follow is to set a schedule for myself according to what Imust study. If I divide it into units I can manage the workload better. Mostly,I focus on my weaker areas. There are my priority areas but they might not bethe ones a study group chooses to work on. While a study group sounds like itmight be fun and a way to share the work, my study time is more effective whenI plan it alone. Organizing my own study time allows me to control the pace aswell as the atmosphere of my study sessions. Without other people around me Ican concentrate fully on the work and take in the material more efficiently.
我觉得自己绝对愿意独自学习,因为这对我而言更加有效。我愿意遵循的方法是根据自己必须学习的科目安排一个时间表。如果我将它划分成单元就可以更好地分配学习负担。在很大程度上,我会关注自己较弱的科 目。我有些需要优先学习的地方,但这可能不是一个学习小组愿意选择共同研究讨论的。虽然学习小组听起 来或许更为有趣而且能够共享学习进度,但我自己学习可能会更加有效。安排自己的学习时间让我可以控制 进度以及我的学习氛围。没有其它人在我身边,我可以全身心的投入到学习当中,更有效的汲取教材中的知 识。
32 studymethod Which onedo you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books?
Actually, both ofInternet and academic books are helpful in doing research. But nowadays I thinkInternet is much better. Firstly, Internet contains such a tremendous amount ofinformation that academic books can never compare with. You may also raise aquestion about a topic and ask for help on the Internet. Furthermore, it’s moreefficient and convenient to use the Internet; all you need is a computer, whilecarrying books around here and there can be very heavy. So I’d like to search online.
事实上,互联网和学术著作都有助于研究工作,但目前,我认为互联网帮助更大。首先,互联网包含了海量信息,这是学术著作不能比的。你也可以就一个课题提出问题,并在网上寻求帮助。另外,使用互联网 更加方便有效。你所需要只是一台电脑,而不是携带很重的书本,所以我愿意上网搜索信息。
33 workin an office
Somepeople prefer to work in the offices. Others would like to take the work tohome. Which do you prefer and explain why.
I'd prefer to work inan office. Firstly, although working at home may be comfortable, but it's kindof difficult for me to be fully‐devoted to work. Maybe I'll want to watch TV,surf the Internet or even want to take a nap during work time. So it isn'tefficient to work at home. Moreover, it's more convenient to communicate withyour co‐workers or boss when you work in an office, thus you can get theassignment more directly and solve problems by negotiating with otheremployees, which helps you do better and learn faster. So I prefer thetraditional way to work in an office.
我更喜欢在办公室工作。首先,尽管在家工作会感觉舒适,但对我来说专注工作有点困难。也许我会想看看电 视,上上网,甚至想在工作时间打个盹。所以在家工作不是很有效。此外,当你在办公室工作时与你的同事或老板沟通更为方便, 因此你可以更为直接得到工作安排并且通过与其他员工协商解决问题,这将使你做得更 好,学得更快。所以我更喜欢在办公室里工作的传统方式。
34studying by oneself
Is itimportant for students to attend class regularly or study by oneself? Explainwhy.
I think it's moreimportant for students to study by himself. Firstly, classes given by teachersare designed for most of the students. You may find that you are not gettingenough from the class or you can't catch up with the class. In such a case,studying by oneself is crucial to improve your learning efficiency.Furthermore, studying by oneself will help you to find out your weak points aswell as what you are good at, which can benefit you to make schedule andformulate your study plans. So I believe that studying by oneself is much moreimportant.
我认为学生自学非常重要。首先,教师教授的课程是为大多数学生而设计的。你可能会发现,要么你没有汲取 足够的知识,要么赶不上进度。在这种情况下,自学对于提高你的学习效率至关重要。此外,自学将会帮助你 找出弱点和强项, 可以有利于你做出安排及制定学习计划,所以我认为自学很重要。
