1、3、How do you define success? What factors do you think are decisive for achieving success?I think success is about achieving the little goals you set for yourself that give you a sense of accomplishment.

2、g from high school/college. Its knowing that there was a challenge or obstacle that you managed to overcome.Whats more,If youve managed to live a relatively happy life, I think thats a success. Our world is driven and focused on monetary value, but not all those that are rich are happy.Some people t

3、hink that opportunity is the first factor leading to success. They hold the idea, as a proverb saying, “Man proposes, god disposes”. Because almost all successful people have good luck and have caught their valuable opportunities, they believe that opportunity is a leading condition of the success.

4、If seizes and makes the best use of opportunity available, one can succeed surely. In summary, to them, chances and lucks play the most important role on the road to success. However, others maintain that “no pains, no gains” .Without exerting oneself, one could never expect to achieve success in no

5、 matter what one is doing. As is known to all, there is no royal road to the summit of success. One is likely to succeed only when one has worked with whole-hearted devotion and perseverance. Those who are lazy, sloppy and indifferent to their work, those who never concentrate on work will definitel

6、y end in failure. On the whole, as far as they are concerned, hard-working is the decisive factor to success. In my view, both hard work and opportunity eventually matters. They are inseparable from each other, and put together, they make a great success. Hard work is to luck what fish is to water,

7、and can be seen as an interior precondition of success. It lays the corner-stone for building a house while luck serves to cement it, to make the building bricks adherent to one another. They are the twins that contribute to success together. They are the factors from within and without respectively

8、. We must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. When opportunities come, meet and make full use of them. Only in this way can we succeed one day. 5、What do you think is the most serious challenge of living in a big city?I think traffic is a serious challenge of living in a big city. And I think

9、pollution is also a big challenge. I find that almost everything is polluted around us- food, water and air. Its impossible, although we want to live in the country. Thats a beautiful dream only.But I deem the pressure from work is the most serious challenge of the city life .The compete will be ver

10、y serious. But we shouldnt give up .we must work hard and hard.12、Some people say that we live in a TV culture. Do you agree? Give your reasons for your answer.I think, today we are living in a TV culture. There are many reasons for this statement. Firstly, In china, the average television set is sw

11、itched on for between five and six hours a day, and the average Chinese adult watches for approximately three hours. Recent research has shown that the average child born in the mid-1990s, when 18 years of age, will have spent more time watching television than any other activity except sleep.” Seco

12、ndly, To a large degree, we are affected by TV culture. Now, there are many movies and television shows that reflect our culture. A show or movie must address some current societal problem or trend in order to truly reflect our life; the producers of the show attempt to integrate many real life situ

13、ations to the show. In fact, we are affected by this situation.Undoubtedly, the culture aspect wouldnt be ignored by these opera makers. As written in the text, the author highlights the including of Haspanic actors. This, as far as I am concerned, shows that TV penetrates deeply into every ordinary

14、 peoples daily life. TV itself is a miniature of a certain culture, but now, the article makes me realize that TV operas can have an interaction to a countrys inner culture, too. Take the USA as an example, it is a country called the melting pot, so the racial problem has long been deeply rooted in

15、this countrys vessel. As was stated in the article, soap operas, though poorly made and lacking thought, have a positive influence on the integration of races. It also provides more chance for the minority actors, and it to some extent make different races closer in people idea.The TV and culture sh

16、ould be seen as a whole and viewed with complexity. Without doubt, TV around us are also twisting and changing our ideas, and our ideas are just a critical component of our culture.17、How do you comment on TV commercials ?Ok, well, when it comes to this key phrase: TV commercial, I think all of us a

17、re familiar with it. Because when we want to watch the TV programmes and turn on the TV, many TV commercials all get into our sight. But do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing? In my view, we should look upon this from two sides. It has advantages also with disadvangtages. For example, these

18、 commercials can make people know more products. People can find more and more new products in todays advanced technological world. The commercials market is booming. This is a way that improves the marketing rate of new products. However, TV commercials are deceptive to some extent, so there are ma

19、ny bad businessman. They sell cheap or inferior products in order to protect their income. They use different ways to make up those products, and make those products look like quality products. Then people cant resist the temptation from eyewashs of inferior products.18、Do you think its possible to

20、remove all commercials from TV? Your reasons for your choice.In this morden society, TV is an important and usual media. Many people use TV to transmit the news. And the role of TV commercials is more and more important. The point of mine is that it is impossible to remove all commercials from TV. B

21、ecause there are several roles it plays that anything can not replace. Firstly, Compared to newspapers and other mediums, TV commercials can bring lots of money ,and it constitutes a large pat of tax, so if we remove all the commercials , the income of our government will decrease largely. Secondly,

22、 TV commercials can open our eyes and let us know more new products and give consumers more choice. The last reason is that there are more and more wonderful and perfect TV commercials, and it can bring people beautiful visual enjoyment and spiritual shock, also we can learn a lot of knowledge from

23、it!19、Please comment on the advantages or disadvantages of frequent job-hopping.Job-hopping is defined as frequently switching job. It may create potential advantages, and it can also be too frequently to the detriment of your career. Advantages:Some people think that Job-hopping provides them with

24、a wide exposure to different work environments. By changing jobs frequently, they have found that their networks of business contacts are wider and in some cases, switching jobs have meant a faster way of getting a salary raise. Disadvantages: But changing jobs frequently reflects badly on ones resi

25、lience and loyalty as an employee. Frequently job-hopper could be seen as someone who lacks self-motivation, is directionless or prone to feeling restless at the workplace. In addition, recruiters may not be convinced that you have gained enough experiences and on-the-job skills since you have not s

26、tayed in any particular company for very long. They are also worried that you may leave them shortly after they hire you, forcing them to start the recruiting process all over again! In conclusion, changing jobs frequently can do your career more harm than good.22、It is said that successful people h

27、ave better language ability than those who are less successful. Please comment.As we know, language ability is important daily life ability. Globalization has become an irresistible trend of contemporary world development. Our country will be more closely linked to other countries. Obviously it offe

28、rs opportunity for us to increase our exchanges and contacts with people who speak a great number of different languages in our life and work. The existence of communication obstacles will block the cooperation between people with different languages. On the contrary, it is easy for us to communicat

29、e with them if we have good language ability. So a successful person is good at communicating with other in different languages. In other words, a person who has excellent language ability is much easier to be successful. For example, if you want to get a job in foreign enterprise, some interviews i

30、n English are necessary.28、If you were a specialist or an educator, what would you do to help those of dyslexia?Many Chinese have difficulty in studying English , especially with reading and writing . In my opinion, vocabulary is the basic element . If you dont know the meaning of the words , you ca

31、nt know the information the passage even the sentence tell , you cant write either . If your vocabulary is OK , you still find it hard to understand what the writer thinks , then culture difference is the cause . So you should learn some essential culture background. Most important, you should learn

32、 to understand the habit how the locals speak and the logic behind it . That needs patience and practice . So , just read more and think more at the same time . When you find you feel the passage more easier , you will write more smooth as the locals do .32、Do you think peoples ability in language i

33、s important? Why or why not?Yes, I think language ability is important for people. I will list the reasons from three aspects in the following statements. Firstly, language is a necessity in daily life communication. People from different places exchange ideas with each other using language. With he

34、 help of language, enemies will become friends, strangers will become acquaintances, and friends will become relatives. Though language, you can realize what kind of people the opposite side is and let others known you better. Living in the society, language enables people to understand other people

35、s and their cultures thus removing prejudice and hostility. Secondly, you need language to do better in your work. Excellent language helps you to be qualified to your position. Take a sales representative as an example, introducing his/her products fluently and clearly to the customers is one cruci

36、al step, because this will determine his/her sales volume thus salary. Sending e-mails is usual in work, if you are lack of the language ability to organize your letters contents vividly and persuasively, you maybe in the risk of losing your customer. Thirdly, language plays a key role in peoples st

37、udy process, particularly for the students at school. We students use language to communicate with classmates、teachers and social people in order to broaden our eyesight. Reading related professional books requires us to have a well-founded language background. Especially, if you are good at a forei

38、gn language, such as English, you can get advanced technologies and skills from the USA by reading English books or communicate with Americans. Assume that people live in the word without language, what will happen? I cant imagine that! That is all! Thanks for your listening! 33、What do you think yo

39、u can learn from a talk show?A talk show is a television or radio program where one person (or group of people will discuss various topics put forth by a talk show host. Sometimes, talk shows feature a panel of guests, usually consisting of a group of people who are learned or who have great experie

40、nce in relation to whatever issue is being discussed on the show for that episode. Other times, a single guest discusses their work or area of expertise with a host or co-hosts. A call-in show takes live phone calls from callers listening at home, in their cars, etc.34、Comment on the role of Chinese

41、 language in international communication.Well, it is a meaningful question for me to answer. There are various TV shows such as soap opera, talent show, game show, fashion show and other similar things. However, whats my favorite is talk show.As my started, I should give a definition of talk show. T

42、alk show is a program during which well-known people discuss a topic or answer questions from viewers or listeners. Going to my next point what I can learn from talk show. Firstly, watching talk show, I feel relax and have fun from it. Besides, people maybe express their views directly and frankly i

43、n the shows. Impressed by some pretty touching scenes, I could get a lot of inspiration from talk shows. In addition to what Ive just said, this program will invite some celebrities whom we are familiar with. It provides us with a platform to discover their hidden side which is different from what w

44、e saw on the stage. At last, it can enhance my English level and I also have learned a lot of American Cultures from this kind of shows. Oprahs words and ideas influence public opinions, not only promote American values, but also spread to many countries worldwide, as a sign of U.S. popular culture。

45、 Finally then, if theres time, I can make a conclusion. As what I just said, we definitely can learn a lot from a talk show. If we can further our study abroad, I believe that it will be very helpful for us to adapt to American life easily.35、Is it possible for Chinese to replace English one day? Wh

46、y or why not?I think it is impossible for Chinese to replace English in the future. The reasons are as follows. First, as we all know, Chinese is the most difficult language to learn, while English is the most easy one. Therefore, English is comparatively easier for one to grasp and learn as a commu

47、nication tool. Second, geological speaking, Chinese speaking areas are limited to China and certain South Asia countries. On the contrary, English speaking areas are widely spread and are not confined to several countries. This situation is resulted from history. As we all know, England is the last

48、Empire in the world, which conquered almost 3/5 of the whole in its golden times. Last, American, whose official language is English, possesses the super power status now and in the foreseeable future. Therefore, English are the basic prerequisite needed for a countries as well as individuals to dea

49、l with foreign issues, including politics, economics, culture, as well as tourism. On the other hand, due to lagged economic status of China, the fact that Chinese are not so popular will be well understood by us. Whats more, though Chinese economic now ranked forth in the world, Chinese still are n

50、ot a prerequisite for the foreign countries and foreign individuals to communicate with China because there are 200 millions people in China learning English due to its practical use now. Thus, English speaking people can find themselves well understood by a Chinese since they are educated with Engl

51、ish since primary school. Only when Chinese people learn to value their traditional culture, incline to dedicate themselves to spreading their culture and overcome their culture inferior attitude, Chinese will have a chance to replace English one day。 （But observing from the current situation, it is

52、 pretty hard to change.）36、Do you think the immigration trend to USA is as popular as it was before? Please comment.Immigration to the United States has been on the rise since the late 1960s.After five decades of decline，the share of immigration in the US population grew from 5 percent in 1970 to 12

53、 percent in 2003. But according to the survey of Census Bureau, in 2007, the immigration to the US was only 500 thousand people, which was much less than 1800 thousand in 2006, and the number was down further in 2008. it is the downturn of the American economy and the publish of immigration law that

54、 brought about the decline of immigration to the US. Of course, the US is still a luminous beacon which guides all kinds of people to come around from all directions. But the wave of immigration is ebbing now. There are lots of reasons, and economic depression is an very important element. People go

55、 to America for better opportunity to work and to earn more. But the financial crisis hit the US powerfully, which causes high rate of unemployment. Thus the opportunity to work is disappearing, so people prefer to stay at the own countries rather than to take the risk to the US and get no job.38、Sa

56、y something about the reasons for the widespread use of English.English is now spoken as a global language, with more than 70 countries using it as their official language, and the number is still rising. Why is the English language so widespread in the world? The reasons are as follows. Firstly, En

57、glish is a developing language. English used to create new words and borrow words from other languages. For example, English borrowed flower river from French, and tea typhoon came from Chinese. If a language has a character of absorbing factors from other languages, it could absolutely come into other culture, and is easily accepted by people all over t
