事物/物品篇Sample:To be honest, I have lots of ambitions. And I'm going to talk about one of them, which is winning the first prize in a table tennis match. You know, winning a prize is always exciting and the winners are adored(受喜爱) by people. Honestly, I didn’t take part in lots of competitions. But I really want to win that one.Table Tennis is one of the most exciting sports in the world. Besides, the players are admired and respected by people. You know, I’m from China, its national sport is table tennis. Lots of students can play it well. So can I (我也能).Table tennis is played on a table and the rules are similar to tennis. Usually, two types of matches are played on table tennis – single match, team match. In a single match, usually, there is one opponent(对手) in each of the sides while the opponents become two in the team match. All of the teams or players try to hit the ball.Winning a table tennis match is difficult indeed. I have to struggle a lot for winning the matches. I usually practice the match solo though one of my friends wants to team up with(组队) me. But I declined(拒绝) him as I am not a good team player(有团队精神的人). In order to win it, I practice different techniques for hours everyday. Usually making the balls to swing is one of the difficult ways in table tennis and if someone could master it, playing and especially defeating becomes easier. So, I practise the specific way at my home with my sister. Moreover, I sometimes play table tennis with some of my friends who come to visit me at my home. Besides, dad also likes to play table tennis. So, I have lots of practice with him as well.I will try my best to play. If I win the first prize, I will be overwhelmed with joy and excitement(陷入喜悦和激动). It’ll be a proof(证明) of my ability. I will definitely feel a sense of achievement.Part3:●What kinds of ambitions do people have?Well, it really depends. I mean, for students, they may have the ambition to achieve something greater, like better academic performance, going to a top university, studying abroad in the future. For adults, they may have the ambition to create their own businesses. For older people, they have the ambition to live a longer life.●Why should parents encourage children to have ambitions?Yeah, definitely, it’s very essential for children to have ambitions or goals. Because in this way, they know what they want to strive for(奋斗). They have a purpose to live their lives. Also, ambitions will act as(作为) an incentive(激励) to improve themselves and give them much motivation to make progress.●Should parents interfere with children’s ambitions?Well, from my perspective, parents should not interfere with their children’s ambitions. Children must be self-sufficient (自立的) so they must learn from their choices or mistakes. Moreover, this is children’s life, they should lead it the way the want. Therefore, parents shouldn’t be a hurdle (障碍) to their children’s ambition.●Is there any difference between children’s ambitions and those ofgrown-ups?Without any doubt, there are huge differences between children’s ambitions and those of grown-ups. Children are very innocent(天真无邪的), their ambitions may be having something they really want, like toys. While for adults, they want to achieve goals like getting a job promotion or earning more money.Sample:Honestly, there are so many traditions in my country. We have different traditions for various festivals, like dragon-boat festival(端午节), Mid-autumn festival, spring festival, etc. It’s tricky to decide which one to talk about. Maybe I can describe the tradition for the most important event in my country, which is the Spring festival.Spring festival is the most valued(被重视的) traditional festival for Chinese people. It’s also known as Chinese New Year. It’s the time for family reunion(家庭团聚). By the way, Spring Festival usually takes place in January. It’s celebrated by every Chinese household(家庭), no matter where they are.Now I want to introduce some traditions during Spring festival. For Spring festival dinner, dumplings are a must-have(必有的) item. Sometimes the whole family will sit together, making dumplings from scratch(从头开始). You know, dumplings are madefrom dumpling skin and fillings(馅料). The filling are made of meat and vegetables. Traditionally, we would put a coin in one of the dumplings, the one who gets that dumpling is believed to have good luck in the next year.Another tradition is that children greet their parents and grandparents and other relative and they will receive red packets(红包). When they get red packets, you’ll see smiling faces on them. Also, we celebrate Chinese New Year by setting firecrackers (放烟花) and watching Spring Festival Gala(春节晚会) together. The next day, we will visit our neighbors and relatives to send our best wishes to them.So, these are the traditions that we have for Spring Festival.Part3:●How do people value traditional festival?people value their traditional festivals by celebrating them with their family. For example, they eat mooncakes and enjoy the moon at night on mid-autumn festival. They watch boat races (船赛) on dragon boat festival.●What’s the difference between festivals now and those in the past?I think the main difference between festivals now and in the past is the purpose of celebration.People celebrated festivals for a purpose, but now people have forgotten the meaning and story behind the festivals.Festivals are only celebrated for joy and entertainment.●Do you think western festivals like Christmas are replacing traditionalfestivals in your country?Yes, I’m afraid not. Nowadays, not only in China, but in some other countries like Japan, Thailand, Singapore, people love to celebrate Christmas. When Christmas comes, people will decorate trees and send gifts. They regard Christmas as(把...当做) their own festival. But they still value their own traditions. So I don’t think Christmas are replacing traditional festivals.●Do you think it’s wrong for children not to celebrate traditional festivals? Well, it seems that children nowadays show less interests in their traditions. As I see it (依我看来), children shouldn’t forget their own traditional festivals. It’s a part of their culture and who they are. They should learn the meaning and stories behind the festivals. It’s a great way to pass on (传递) their traditions.Sample:Well, it’s a little bit tricky to decide which one to talk about because I like lots of photographs of me. Maybe I can describe the one that I took during my journey in Chengdu. It always reminds me of some great memories there.It’s actually a photograph of me and a lovely panda. I just can’t remember precisely(准确地) when it was because, you know, I have a terrible memory for dates. But it was almost 5 years ago when I was travelling around Chengdu, a major city of western China. I was on my summer vacation, and my parents decided to take me to Chengdu. You know, Chengdu is such a popular tourist destination (旅游目的地), which attracts millions of visitors every year. The most fascinating(吸引人的) part about Chengdu is the pandas because there is a panda base there, where you can see a lot of adorable giant pandas.The panda base is located in the outskirts of(郊区) the city, which is around 25 minutes’ away from the city center. We went there in the morning because pandas were fed in the morning and were active at that time. It was so clamorous(喧闹的).And we waited in line for 20 minutes to buy a ticket. I still felt so thrilled(激动的) to see real pandas in the flesh(亲眼；亲自). They looked super cute and cuddly(令人想抱的；惹人喜爱的). Some pandas were gorging on(狼吞虎咽的吃) bamboos, which were their favorite food. Some were climbing trees. And a few of them were crawling and prowling around(徘徊). As one of the pandas came closer to me, my mom immediately took a photo to capture that moment. Surprisingly, in that picture, the panda and I were both looking at the camera. It was perfect!Part3:●Why do people take photos?People take photos simply because they wanna capture(捕获) some great memories or record their life. They may take photos of food, gorgeous scenery and people. Or they just want to share them on social media to keep their fans updated(更新).●What do people use to take photos these days, cameras pr phones?I think most people use their phones to take photos these days, because phone cameras are very functional(多功能的), more importantly, it’s light and portable(便携的). But for professional photographer, they’re definitely keen on(热衷于) using cameras, which have higher pixels and definition(高像素和清晰度).●Is it difficult for people to learn how to take good photos?I don’t think it’s difficult for people to learn how to take good photos. Nowadays, there are lots of videos teaching people how to take good photos. Something like the suitable angle or position or lighting(光线). If people want to take good photos, theycan just follow those tips and try several times.●How do people keep their photos？Well, I believe most people keep their photos on their phones or electronic albums(电子相册) on the computer. It’s really convenient when they want to see and share their photos.Sample:Winning a prize is always exciting and the winners are adored(受喜爱). Honestly, I didn’t take part in lots of competitions. But I can share with you the time that I won a prize in the annual(年度的) sports competition of my college. I won the second prize in the table tennis match.Tennis is one of the most exciting sports in the world. Besides, the players are admired and respected by people. You know, I’m from China, its national sport is table tennis. Lots of students can play it well. So can I (我也能).Table tennis is played on a table and the rules are similar to tennis. Usually, two types of matches are played on table tennis – single match, team match. In a single match, usually, there is one opponent(对手) in each of the sides while the opponents become two in the team match. All of the teams or players try to hit the ball.Winning a table tennis match is difficult indeed. I had to struggle a lot for winning the matches. I played the matches solo though one of my friends wanted to team upwith(组队) me. But I declined(拒绝) him as I am not a good team player(有团队精神的人). Before the competitions, I had to practice the techniques for hours. Usually making the balls to swing is one of the difficult ways in table tennis and if someone could master it, playing and especially defeating becomes easier. So, I practised the specific way at my home with my sister. Moreover, I used to play table tennis with some of my friends who came to visit me at my home. Besides, dad also likes to play table tennis. So, I had lots of practice with table tennis.When I participated in the matches, I did not think about the results. Instead, I tried to play my best and I did so. In the end, the results was worth my efforts. I could notbelieve that I did so well in the matches. I was overwhelmed with joy and excitement(陷入喜悦和激动). I shared my achievement with my family members. I felt a sense of proud (自豪感) and achievement.Part3:●What kind of prizes do students get?Well, generally, students take part in academic competitions, competitions of sports and singing. They may get prizes that are inexpensive, like stationery(文具), schoolbags, medals, or prize money(奖金), maybe 100 or 200 yuan.●Should student get the same prize in sports and academics?Well, that’s a very interesting question. I don’t think they should get the same prize. Because academics and sports are two different fields. Students can get sportswear, medals or something related to sports in a sporting event. While for academic prizes, students should get books, stationery, which can be more useful and meaningful(有意义的) for them.●Why should people be awarded?I believe it’s essential for people to be awarded. For example, some singers are awarded the Grammy awards, students are awarded for their excellent performance(优秀表现) at school. And workers get prizes for doing a great job. To some extent(某种程度上), awards are the proof(证明) of their ability and achievements, which may motivate(激励) them and help them become better.●Are awards always good for winner?It’s true that winners receive better awards. But sometimes those who lose may also receive some awards for their hardwork and efforts, which can encourage them to improve themselves and make more progress.Sample:Science is very important to our lives. Actually, it’s through the science subjects that we begin to think logically and find answers to our questions. When I was in middle school and high school, I had to learn all kinds of science subjects, like math, physics biology, chemistry and so on. I found all the aspects of science difficult but interesting. Speaking of the area of science interests me the most, I would like to talk aboutchemistry.I started to learn chemistry since grade 8. I became fascinated by it since the first class. Though I just learned some basic part of chemistry at the high school level, it was a really eye-opener(令人大开眼界的事物) because it gave me a better understanding of the natural world by teaching me about the periodic table(元素周期表), the mole concept, types of chemical reactions(反应), etc.Chemistry is very difficult to learn, but it also tells me about chemicals and their interactions and it can help you to understand the world around you, since everything is comprised of(由...组成) chemicals. Cooking, for instance, includes chemical reactions to achieve different types of cooked foods. Baking is a another example of this type, as it often employs(运用) ingredients like baking soda that react with acids in the recipe and help the cake or cookies to rise when heated. This process is a chemical reaction.Additionally, taking a chemistry class will allow you to better understand other sciences, like biology or anatomy. Besides, chemistry allows me to stay in the lab to take lots of different engaging(有趣的) experiments, such as making smoke bombs. I believe that experimenting is best part of taking a chemistry class.Part3:●What’s the best invention in the past 100 years?Over the past 100 years, there were numerous invention that have considerably changes people’s lives, such as electricity(电力), light bulbs, the Internet, etc. But I believe the best one is the Internet. Thanks to the Internet, we can chat with friends no matter where they are, we can do shopping online, read and watch movies and play games. The world in at our fingertips(在我们的指尖).●What’s the influence of science on human life?I think there are two main influences of science. First, science brings logic and reasoning to human life. It reduces the impact of superstition(迷信) and makes us more open-minded and accepting of others. Second, science and inventions have made our life much more comfortable and easier than ever before.●What can individuals do for scientific research?I think most science inventions happen accidentally(偶然地). Individuals may meet doubts and problems and they come up with an idea to address(解决) that problem. That is how new inventions take place. Individuals can also donate money to the scientific organizations to fund scientific research.●What influence can international cooperation in science bring about?(回答一) There main challenges to scientific research is the lack of funding and lack ofaccess to information and great ideas. International cooperation can address both of them. If countries share funds and their knowledge, scientific research would definitely have a boost(增加).(回答二) I believe cooperation between nations in science will bring about more advances(进步) in technologies. They can share their ideas and newest technologies to create something much better, which can benefit the world.Sample:Well, there are many activities that I do throughout the year(全年). And to be honest, I hardly do some activities that are too expensive. After all, I can’t afford them. But speaking of an expensive activity that I enjoy doing occasionally, I would like to describe Bungee Jumping(蹦极), which, I think, is more expensive than other activities.Bungee jumping is a kind of extreme sports(极限运动). You know, people jump from a great height while connected to large cord(绳索). It seems dangerous and terrifying(令人恐惧的) but exciting at the same time. Of course, those who have high blood pressure(高血压) are not allowed to do it.I did bungee jumping in Macao, actually. I can’t remember the exact time and date, you know, I have a terrible memory for dates. But it was almost 2 years ago when I was travelling around(在..旅游) Macao. I went there with my friends and we stayed there for a whole week.One of the most popular activities is doing bungee jumping from the Macao Tower, which is more than 300 meters tall. It’s quite expensive for me and my friends. Because it cost more than 3000 yuan. Before we went there, we made a reservation(预订)in advance(提前). And we waited in line(排队等) for about 1 hour. When it was my turn轮到我的时候), I felt so terrified looking at the ground from such a great height. I could feel the tension(紧张) in my heart. My hands and feet were sweating(流汗) and shaking. I almost wanted to give up. But the instructor kept encouraging me and eventually, I jumped. It was a feeling that was hard to express. Anyway, it was a great challenge for me and I could overcome the fear(克服恐惧).After doing that, I felt a sense of achievement.Anyway, that was a really memorable experience. If I have chance in the future, I wanna do it again. Haha...Part3:●What kind of expensive things do people like to buy?I think it varies from person to person(每个人都不同), but generally speaking, men prefer buying expensive watches or cars. While women are more keen on cosmetics, fancy clothes, luxury bags(奢侈品包包), etc.●What the difference between men and women in buying things?I think there are some major differences. Men tend to rush into the store, get what they need and leave straight away(立马；马上). They seem to be immune to(对...免疫) various sales and promotions. They are more into cars, electronic products. However, women are more likely to be shopaholics(购物狂). They enjoy spending more time in shopping malls and sometimes they buy things on impulse (冲动). They are normally addicted to(着迷于) fancy clothes and cosmetics.●What are advantages and disadvantages of being rich?I think the biggest advantage of being rich is that you can buy whatever you like and do whatever you want. Especially if you want to do some start-ups, you have sufficient funds to support yourself. In terms of the disadvantages, I suppose rich people have more worries and anxieties, and others want something out of them.●Why are some sports expensive? Are they for everyone?It’s true that some sports can be a lot more expensive, like golf, yacht(游艇), it’s quite pricey to get a membership(会员). I guess there are expensive because the equipments cost more, and the court or the field require higher maintenance(高维护). They are definitely not for everyone, They’re just for rich people or people with a higher social status(社会地位).Sample:Actually, I like to talk about a wide range of各种各样的topics with my friends. And I also like to meet new people and have a conversation with them. However, there are certain topics that I have no interest in. Recently, my least favorite topic(最不喜欢的话题) is about the COVID-19. I just get really bored hearing my friends discussing thisissue.I still remember that the last time that I was involved in (参与) this topic was just a few weeks ago. Actually, it was my bosom friend(亲密的朋友) Tom’s birthday and he invited me to his birthday party.I went to his home to celebrate along with(和...一起) his family and some other good friends.In the first place(起初), I enjoyed a lot at his birthday party, we ate a cake, we sang together. But after a while, their relatives started to have a conversation with us.The topic on which they were discussing was COVID-19 lockdown (封锁).They were sharing their views on the impact of lockdown on people’s daily lives.They seemed to have a really long speech. There is not doubt(毫无疑问) that this conversation has its importance. But I was really bored with the conversation because in China, people have been talking about it forever since the outbreak(爆发). Everyday, I saw tons of news about it. I heard my friends, my family talk about it. I even did a survey about it. I was not interested at all in their opinions. So I was really fed up(厌倦).My friend’s birthday party was a break for me, it was supposed to be relaxing. I thought it would be rude if I just walk away in between that conversation since all the members were senior citizens(年长者) except me.After 2 hours, the conversation was finally over. I went back home right away.So, this was the topic of conversation that I was not interested in.Part3:●What topics do young people in China talk about?Young people talk about a wide variety of(各种各样的) topics. They nearly talk about everything vary from politics to sports to entertainment and technologies. Personally, I love to talk about the latest news(最新的消息) and high-tech gadgets(高科技设备) with my friends.●What’s the difference between the topics popular now and those in thepast?I think earlier people didn’t care so much about technology, but it is a major part of the conversation now. I also love talking about that. In addition, I think other topics like sports, fashion and politics were actively discussed in the past too.●How do you know if others are not interested in our conversation?I think I mostly see people’s facial expressions or reactions to see if they are interested. If they are laughing at my jokes or their reactions change as the tone of the conversation progresses(进行), they are interested. Otherwise, they are not. Sometimes if people cut me off and change a different topic, he or she is certainly not interested in my conversation.●What’s the influence of modern technology, such as the internet ande-mails, on our communication?Obviously, modern technologies have both positive and negative impacts on our communication. On one hand, they make it easier for people to communicate. No matter where we are, we can always keep in touch with our friends and family.One the other hand, the overuse(过度使用) of technologies has negative impacts on people’s interpersonal communication or face-to-face communication. We may find it hard to involve in(参与) social life. Sometimes people have difficulty expressing their ideas or thoughts face-to-face. And people addicted to the internet feel lonely and isolated (孤立的).Sample:Actually, I often receive some good news. So it’s a little tricky to decide which one to talk about. Maybe I can share with you the time I received a really good news about the prize that I won. So I’m gonna share with you particular experience.You know, winning a prize is always exciting and the winners are adored(受喜爱). Honestly, I didn’t take part in lots of competitions. But I still remember the time I participated in the school annual sports competition. And I won the second prize in the table tennis match, which was a really great news for me.Tennis is one of the most exciting sports in the world. Besides, the players are admired and respected by people. You know, I’m from China, its national sport is table tennis. Lots of students can play it well. So can I (我也能).Table tennis is played on a table and the rules are similar to tennis. Usually, two types of matches are played on table tennis – single match, team match. In a single match, usually, there is one opponent(对手) in each of the sides while the opponents become two in the team match. All of the teams or players try to hit the ball.Winning a table tennis match is difficult indeed. I had to struggle a lot for winning the matches. I played the matches solo though one of my friends wanted to team upwith(组队) me. But I declined(拒绝) him as I am not a good team player(有团队精神的人). Before the competitions, I had to practice the techniques(技巧) for hours. I practised the specific skills at my home with my sister. Moreover, I used to play table tennis with some of my friends who came to visit me at my home. Besides, dad also likes to play table tennis. So, I had lots of practice with table tennis.When I participated in the matches, I did not think about the results. Instead, I tried to play my best and I did so. In the end, my classmates told me that I won the second prize. I could not believe that. I was overwhelmed with joy and excitement(陷入喜悦和激动).Part3:●How do people get news?People get news through various sources, such as TV, the Internet, newspapers and radio. But I think nowadays the most popular way to get news is from the Internet, people can watch the latest news(最新消息) and information just on their phone.●What do you think of the news on social media?Social media such as Facebook and Wechat and Twitter have become very powerful. There are all kinds of news everyday. Some of them are true, while others may be fake. So we should be able to tell good from bad(分辨好坏).●What kind of news do people like to read?I think it depends on difference age groups. Young people prefer reading news about sports and entertainment. They want to know more about their favorite teams or TV stars. However, older people are more into political news or news about the weather.●How can companies tell the public its news? On the internet or through pressconference?They can actually disseminate(散布；传播) their news through both ways. But I believe the mainstream way(主流方式) these days is though the internet. Because most people are internet users, they prefer reading news on their mobile phones. So news companies have more target readers(目标读者）online.Sample:Honestly, reading books is something that I enjoy immensely(非常喜欢). The books that I read vary from history books, novels to biographies. I love to learn new things from every book. However, speaking a very useful book, I’d like to describe a cookery book(烹饪书).That book is written by a very famous Chinese master chef(厨艺大师). I can’t remember exactly when I first read it. It was so many months back. It was a regular Saturday, I was reading books in the city library, which is located in downtown. It’s the largest library in my city as well. I just stumbled upon(偶然看到) that cookery book on the bookshelf. The cover it is a beautiful and charming woman cooking a dish. The food looked quite appetizing(有食欲的), which intrigued(激发兴趣) me a lot.After reading through a few pages, I found it very useful to me. There are a couple of reasons. Firstly, I’m a big fan of c ooking, I love trying different dishes. Also, I often invite my friends over and cook a fancy meal for them. It’s a great way to entertain (招待) friends, of course. Actually, later, I bought that book and took it home.I started to duplicate(复制) some of the recipes on that book. And it turned out to be a huge success, the flavor was sensational. I was so flattered because my friends loved the food that I made so much. I definitely felt a sense of proud.Now that book is still in my home. It’s very useful because on one hand, it provides lots of great recipes(食谱) with so many details, like how to deal with the ingredient, how to use spices, and it also shows different cooking skills. I’ve found a lot of inspirations(灵感) for cooking through reading this bookPart3:●What are the types of books that young people like to read?I think young people like to all kinds of novels, like romantic novel, mysteries and science fictions. Because these books are really intriguing(吸引人的) and very imaginative(充满想象的).●What’s the difference between reading habits of young people and old people?I believe the major difference is that young people have a tendency to(倾向于) read online books, they usually read books on a Kindle or just on their phones, it’s convenient, they can read it anywhere. While old people seem to be less interested in technologies, they prefer the traditional way, which is reading paper books.●What’s the difference between paper books and E-books?Obviously, there are huge differences between them. Firstly, E-books are more convenient。
