第一套

Task 1

Describe a person who you want to know more about. Explain why.

解析：

人物的话题，可以套用尊重，崇敬的名人的答案，但要注意加上为什么想要更加了解他的理由。

参考回答：

The person who I want to know more about is Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best footballers in the world.

I want to him more, the first reason is, he is my idol, since young I started to watch every game he played, no matter how late it is here in China. I wrongfully doubt that there is any other more loyal fan of him than I was. I seem to can’t get enough information about him.

Another reason is that, as a world elite athlete, Cristiano manages to keep his body in top tier shape like no other. I am always wondering what his secret is and how he does this day after day, year after year.

Task 2

第二套

Task 1

Describe an important decision that you have made. Include details in your answer.

参考回答：

The most important decision in my life I guess is going to America in the future for further study.

It’s important because this decision actually decides what my future would be. Instead of spending my 4-year college life here in my home country, I will step onto an unfamiliar land and experience different culture. It will be wonderful, as well as challenging.  

Besides, this decision also means I need to work harder, prepare many things, be persevering and have an international view. You know, going abroad is not as easy as finding a work in hometown.

I do not like a boring life, on the contrary I hope my life can be full of challenge and exciting.

Task 2

Do you agree or disagree that high school students should learn music and art.

参考回答：

I agree that high school students should learn music and art at school.

The first reason is that music and art are just as vital to an individual's education and well being as other subjects. Performing and visual arts are put into school to help broaden our beings and show us culture. Dancing, singing, acting and writing, these are all outlets for us to express ourselves and connect with others.

Another thing is have the art class being removed from high school, it will cause the lack of uniqueness and creativity among many students. As a society, we need artists, journalist, actors, actress and musicians. One of the only ways for these people still exit is through what they are exposed to during school.

You have to have the language to help make the process go smoothly. Taste and experience what the natives are enjoying, like to try out a few local cuisines.

Another tip I would give out is that never feel shy to ask for help. The Chinese has also been praised for warm-heart and hospitality. So if you are facing difficulties or caught in a bad situation, speak up and ask for a favor, the locals here is more than happy to give you a hand.

第十二套

Task1

What kind of food do you recommend to add to the food menu of the campus cafeteria?

参考回答：

As far as I’m concerned, I would strongly recommend is pizza. There are several reasons to name.
To begin with, I believe that an increasing number of students desire to taste the real pizza. Take me as an example, just the thought of the palatable taste of the hot, creamy cheese brings water to my mouth.
The second reason is that pizza can help students understand the foreign culture. It is known that pizza is one common type of food for Americans, so students especially those who want to study abroad, adding pizza to the food menu can help them get to know American life earlier.

Task 2

Some people like to buy new but expensive books while others prefer to buy old but cheap ones. Which one would you prefer?

参考答案：

As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to buy old but cheap ones.

The most important reason is that we should protect our environment. As we all know that books are made of paper and paper comes from trees. The more paper books we have, the more trees are going to be cut down. Using old books is actually a way to decrease the usage of paper.

The second reason is that I’m really poor. I don’t have enough money to buy new fancy boos. Usually an old book will only cost less than a half of the original price.
