S2: Do you agree or disagree: cell phone changes our lives greatly.
For me, there's no doubt that cell phones have substantially improved our lives in many ways. The obvious reason is that so many things have become so much easier now. We can connect with family, organize to meet friends, and even run a business, by using a cell phone. The best thing is that we can do all of the things spontaneously. Furthermore, new advances in cell phone technology have given us many new ways to u a cell phone-such as listening to music, watching movies, and surfing the Internet, but 20 years ago the things were quite unimaginable. Therefore, cell phones have greatly improved people's lives.
S2: Watching TV is not a good u of time. Do you agree or disagree?
I have to say that I disagree with this statement. I feel like whenever people say that television is a waste of time or that nobody should watch it, they're only thinking of the nega
tive aspects of television, like realty trashy reality shows or something. But at its best, television can be every bit as artistic and thoughtful as a novel or a great movie. Over the past fifteen years especially, there have been a great number of dramatic TV shows with rich characters and complicated, intelligent plot lines. Audiences can laugh, cry, and marvel at the television shows, while eing the world from unexpected perspectives. It's not brainless in the least!

S1: Talk about a type of movie you do not like. Explain why you do not like this type of movie.
I'm not really a fan of romantic comedies. I feel like there's so much potential for a cute, charming, funny story of two people falling in love, but the majority of the time the movies are overall failures. The women are always rigid workaholics, the men are always too perfect and bland ... Everyone is just a lame stereotype that I can't connect with. And the situations they get themlves into are so stupid. There's a wacky misunderstanding, a fr
antic rush to an airport, a reunion in the rain. It's so predictable and obvious how everything is going to turn out that I just can't make mylf care. Movies like that make romance look stale and corny. They're not funny, either. They're just awkward.

S1: Choo ONE of the forms of the technology in the list and tell why it has great impact on people's lives in your country? Airplane, computer or television. U specific reasons and examples to support your respon.
I would like to talk about the computer, which I think has revolutionized people’s lives in my country, in at least two very important areas – education and entertainment. In education, becau of computer multimedia technology, students don’t have to spend a long time learning abstract theories about a subject; they can e them demonstrated vividly and on a computer screen, which is so much easier to understand. In entertainment, computer games have become a major part of almost anyone’s childhood in my country, and have often replaced other recreational activities that ud to be very p
opular such as doing sports, which is a pity. But I would also like to argue that playing computer games moderately is beneficial to children’s hand-eye coordination and problemsolving skills.

S1: What do you think is the most important advancement over the past 20 years in your country? U reasons and specific examples to explain why you think that is important.
Personally I found the increasing availability of cell phones the most important advancement in my country. It makes people's life ever more convenient and colorful. For example, we can now keep in touch with family members especially in the event of an emergency like the other day my grandmother was so forgetful that she left the hou key at home and couldn't get in so she ud the cell phone that I bought her and called me to get her the key. It is hard to image what would imagine what would happen if she had to wait for a whole day till I got home in the evening. Besides that I can also u the mobile phone to get you from A to B using navigation, a very uful feature for people like
me who has a hopeless n of direction.
