1. describe a time you were temted to lie, What did you want to lie about? why did you want to lie about it?
I have always wanted to own a pet cat to accompany me. However, my
parents were unwilling to accept a cat to our home since they believed that
they would need to invest a lot of energy and time in taking care of it. One
day, my classmate Brenda asked me whether I would like to own a small cat
that was given birth by her pet cat. Out of my desire for a cat, I brought
Coco back home. Since I knew that both of my parents were nice people, I
intended to tell them that I found Coco on the street and without our help,
Coco would not be able to grow up. However, they figured out that Coco
was from my friend's home even before I completed my story since a small
cat on the street would never be as healthy as Coco. Nevertheless, they
accepted Coco as our new family member as I promid that I could look after her. (164)
2. Describe a happy event of your life. What was the event?
When did it occur?
Why it is a happy and memorable event for you?
A happy event of my life was the time my family went on a family trip to a
small park not far from our home. Last week, my family and I shared our
personal experiences and difficulties we encountered in our daily life when
rowing a boat on the lake, which strengthened our family ties. By sharing
our stories and crets like friends, my parents and I successfully clod
the generation gap between us. The harmonious atmosphere is really happy
and memorable to me. The most important reason is that my family rarely
has the time to have fun together becau my parents are always busy with
their workload and I am also quite stresd with my school tasks. Therefore,
such a pleasant family reunion would always be a precious and enjoyable memory for each of us. (137)
3. What is something or experience that you wish could have or do?
If possible, I wish I could have the chance to study abroad. To begin with,
studying abroad allows me to appreciate a different educational system.
While enriching my academic knowledge, I can learn from the different
perspectives held by professors of various backgrounds. Thus, I can
develop a more holistic view about issues and subject contents, hence
avoiding being biad or overly subjective. Besides, overas studying also
enables me to appreciate the cultural differences between my home
country and the country I study in. With high exposure to foreign cultures, I
can obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the world we live in and
socialize with people who have various cultural backgrounds. In general, I
wish to study overas for it can enrich my knowledge and world views. (128)
4. What are the differences between a kind of movies older people watch when they were young and contempora Thanks to the development of technology, people nowadays can empathize
with characters in movies shown more easily becau of the emergence of
3D and 4D movies. Specifically, more giant screens and better audio equipment enable film-
goers today to enjoy the unprecedented viewing
experience. However, at the same time, the widely accessible Internet
allows movies to be shared across geographical boundaries, which renders
producing movies today to be more profitable than tho in the past.
Conquently, many directors produce movies for economic gains instead
of prenting a memorable story to the audience. With the
commercialization of the movie industry, movies' function of spreading
values has been less effective. Therefore, I believe that while the experience
of watching movies in the cinema has been enhanced, the inherent value of
the movies nowadays is no longer comparable to tho in the past. (139)

also my English teacher, and in this letter, she firstly comforted me about
the fact that I failed this paper. Originally, I was startled by the mark and
started to question mylf why I didn't put in more effort in the preparation
process. Then I doubted that I was not intelligent enough to learn this
subject. However, in this letter, Mr. Han encouraged me that this paper was
harder than our usual practice and I have the potential to achieve higher if I
continue to work hard. After reading this letter, I was touched by Mr. Han's
care for me. Most importantly, I was re-energized with the determination to
make progress in the next mester. (141)
6. What kind of places and activities are appealing to old people , why?
Places and activities that could enhance the elderly’s physical fitness while
giving them a n of home are appealing to old people. Firstly, the elderly
usually suffer from physical weakness, which renders activities such as
climbing mountains and hiking attractive to them. By engaging in exerci
with their friends from places like clubs, the elderly could feel rejuvenated.
Moreover, since their children and grandchildren are busy with their own
jobs or schoolwork, the elderly could be accompanied by their peers
through taking part in a tour group and thus find a n of home. For
example, my grandfather Joph swims with his friends every week to keep
fit while fostering the relationships among them. The experience of
swimming every week allows him to stay mentally and physically healthy
even though he is already 70 years old. Therefore, the activities and
places would appeal to the elderly the most. (150)

birthday, from the school mailbox and bring it to my hou. All his or her
other friends will deliberately ignore and isolate him for one day but gather
in my hou after school to wait for his arrival. After he or she rings the
doorbell, I will let him or her in and all of us will shout "Surpri! Happy
birthday!" together. There will of cour be cakes and prents at the party

Since I am a person crazy about keeping all my belongings neat and clean,
any untidiness could make me feel disturbed. For example, my clot is
always orderly arranged with shirts and trours hanging on the
clothes-racks and underwear neatly folded in drawers. Although I am
always busy with my academic work and school activities, I would spend
two hours every week to ensure that my clot is tidily and methodically
arranged since the disorganization of my clot will disturb me. To sum up,
I will feel annoyed if the quality of my life or work was sacrificed for a
limited time or required efficiency. Besides, my clothes are further arranged according to the respective situation they are suitable for wearing. Like my clothes, my timetable is also classified according to the importance of each
task to prioritize the more significant ones. In summary, the inability to
maximize my life efficiency and fulfill my maximum capabilities would disturb me. (159)

racks and underwears neatly folded in drawers. Although I am

ensure that my clot is tidily and methodically arranged. This exemplifies
my fastidious and meticulous attitudes towards my life that the quality of
my life or work should not be sacrificed for the limited time or required
efficiency. Besides, my clothes are further arranged according to the
respective situation they are suitable for wearing. Like my clothes, my

organized to maximize my life efficiency and to fulfill my maximum capabilities. (130)

Next year, I want to add scented soap to my clot. This is becau next
year I am going to study in a tropical country where there are a lot of bugs
and mosquitoes. From what I have arched online, I discovered that
scented soap can help to drive away the
clot might be helpful in keeping my clot clean. Moreover, a scented
soap is able to give all my clothes a pleasing odour. In fact, I am going to
join the school basketball team next year as a power forward. The frequent
training means that I am going to sweat a lot. And with the help of scented
soap, my shirts and shorts could stay clean instead of being smelly. (127)
11. Describe the most beautiful place you have ever en. What were you doing there and who was with you? How The most beautiful place I have ever en is my high school during
weekends. Once during a weekend, I went back to my school alone to fetch
a notebook I left in my classroom. Surprisingly, I saw many students sitting
on the benches located in different corners in the school and they were
studying together with their friends. In astonishment, I asked one of them
what they were doing in school on a day we didn't have lessons. He told me
that he always came to school to study with his friends for the higher
efficiency when they can supervi and encourage each other, and they
even had a study team to regularly do so on every weekend. On that day, I sincerely admired their lf-discipline. (126)
12. Name something that you do to improve your concentration. How has this activity improved your ability to com
I firstly start with some simple exercis like trying to keep focud on my
work for 15 minutes. Between every 15 minutes, there will be a 5-minute
interval when I can slack and do whatever I like. This little mental reward
allows me to concentrate better on the prent in order to relax properly
and justifiably later. By and by, I can elongate the concentration-time to 30 or even 50 minutes with a 10-
minute interval to encourage mylf to
continue working.
I believe that better concentration can help people to finish their assigned
tasks more productively and hence free up more time for people to engage
in activities they are truly interested in. With more time for entertainment,
people's quality of life will undoubtedly be improved. (126)
13. If you have children, what is one thing you would do differently from your parents? Why would you do this? Ho If I have children, I would try to nd my children to study abroad instead of
staying in China until university like me. I would do this becau firstly living
alone in a foreign country can teach my children independence, which is
esntial for their future development as they will eventually have to solve
their problems by themlves instead of asking others to help and waiting
to be rescued. Besides, the educational system overas is more
quality-oriented with the colorful curriculum designed to develop all-round
talents. Under such a tting, my children will not be imbued with the ideas
that they must achieve high scores to survive in this society. On the
contrary, they can pursue what they truly love and flourish with their unique
gifts besides academic intelligence. (128)
14. Talk about a gift that you gave to someone recently. What was it? Who did you give it to? How did it make you Recently, I gave my younger brother a book named Harry Potter as his
birthday prent. I really look forward to eing him become engrosd in
the magical world as I did in my childhood. I gave this book to my brother
becau Harry Potter contains many fascinating story-lines and engrossing
magic which can enrich my brother's imagination and motivate him to think
beyond what is en in our daily lives. Besides, the adventures of Harry and
his friends can also teach my brother many qualities such as resilience in
the face of challenges and fortitude while enduring adversities. Therefore,
this book can not only rve as entertainment for my little brother at
prent, but it can also aid his personal development in the long run. (125)
15. Talk about a vehicle that you would like to buy someday. What vehicle is that? Why do you like it so much? Do
I would like to purcha an electric car in the future since this kind of cars
can offer convenience to me while causing minimal pollution to the
environment. Being powered by solar panels or batteries instead of fossil
fuels, electric cars would not emit carbon dioxide that could exacerbate
global warming. Moreover, a private electronic car enables me to travel
around the city conveniently and efficiently. However, I only intend to buy
the car in the future since I am not able to drive a car currently. Moreover,
the development of electric cars is still in progress and many limitations like
electric cars' slower speed than normal cars could only be eventually solved
