1，On getting prepared for our future jobsCollege graduates get more freedom in choosing their jobs. But facts show that a free job market is really a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it brings graduates wider selection of jobs; on the other hand, it imposes a higher requirement on these inexperienced job seekers. Many have failed in interviews; some are performing rather badly on their positions, or get fired.To avoid these problems, I think we college students must make at least three efforts to get prepared for the job market. First, we must learn to apply knowledge to practical use. Besides, we should also learn to cooperate with others. The last preparation is for possible failure. So to sum up, college students must get prepared long before graduation to succeed in their future jobs. Although the requirement from the job market seems unfair, the only way to deal with it is to get prepared instead of making useless complaints.2，Never Too Old to LearnI have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Allen Green, will be retiring next week. Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion[ə'keɪʒ(ə)n]. All those who have contributed[kən'trɪbjʊtid] towards the gift will sign their names in a large album['ælbəm] which will be sent to the headmaster's home. We shall all remember Mr. Green for his patience ['peɪʃ(ə)ns] and understanding and for the kindly encouragement[ɪn'kʌrɪdʒm(ə)nt] he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school. A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday. It is a curious coincidence[kəʊ'ɪnsɪd(ə)ns] that the day before his retirement, Mr.Green will have been teaching for a total of forty years. After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening. For him, this will be an entirely new hobby. But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.3，Thank You TeacherI am glad to be your student, a million thanks to you. As you gave me the strength to make mydreams come true! For the world you are one person, but for one person, you are the world! And that person is me. Thank you, teacher. Thanks for the challenges you have made me face, for they gave me the courage to lead every race.For your thoughtfulness and generosity, from you I have learned much of life’s philosophy.Thank you sincerely. Whatever little I have achieved is because of you. Whoever I am today is because of you. I would have been lost if not for you. You showed me the right path. I cannot thank you enough. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.4，Cultural DifferenceEvery culture has its own tradition, and every society also has its taboos or something that are thought to be bad manners. If you travel to another country, on business or vacation, it is helpful to learn some of that country’s customs so that you don’t insult the people there.The word “taboo” comes from the Tongan language. In modern English, this word is used to describe something to be avoided, including verbal and nonverbal behavior. Taboos are different according to different people’s beliefs of different countries. So, what is a good thing in one country may be a taboo in another.Verbal taboos include something too private[ praivit] to say, or relate to one’s way of speaking. In some countries, for example, it is bad to say topics such as religion or age in public. In Japan, for example, people tend to be more soft-spoken, and might think someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude[ru:d].Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language. Some actions, especially with the hands and feet, have very different meanings. In Thailand, as many people believe in Buddhism, touching a person on the head is very insulting because the head is the highest, and thought to be the most important part of the body. As the feet are the lowest, pointing at someone with one of your feet or showing the bottom of your feet to someone, is insulting in many Asian countries. Behavior is good in one culture can be bad in another. When visiting different countries, try to remember some basic differences, as this will help to make a much happier trip.5，Keep Balance at WorkWhen people know what is your job, they know , to some extent[ik’stent]，what kind of person you are. However, in order to be truly successful in life you need to be balanced['bæləns]. After fifteen years in the Information Technology industry, I have learned a few lessons that have helped me maintain[meɪn'teɪn] my sanity[ˈsænəti] at work.I have to work; at the same time, I have hobbies and interests after work. This is very important for me. It doesn't matter what you do, but you need time away from your work, time away from your family and time that is strictly yours for enjoyment. This blog [blɒɡ] for example is one of my new hobbies and a way to stretch[stretʃ] my mind. For others it might be some board game. Without hobbies, or at least a time to decompress[ˈdi:kəmˈpres], I feel that by the end of the week I'm dead and no use to my family all weekend long.Put family first... This doesn't mean to be a clock watcher at work, but make sure that you leave your work at work and make time for your family. I have kids and I make sure I'm there for supper almost every night. Make sure that you spend time with your wife, husband, and other significant[sɪgˈnɪfɪkənt] things (And watching TV doesn't count). My life overall runs a lot better when I make sure I give time to my wife and kids.This is my NO1. If I don't run, play soccer, rock climb or do something active, I tend to be grumpy['ɡrʌmpɪ] and irritable['ɪrɪtəbl]. This is the way I deal with my stress, this is not only something that makes me feel good, but it means that when I'm at work, I can focus on work.口语1, what is your dream career？(n.生涯；职业；事业；速度，全速；adj.作为毕业职业的；vi.全速前进，猛冲)I wish I could become a successful market, I like Marketing.Marketing is the front(n.前面；正面；前线；adj.前面的；正面的;vs.面对；朝向；对付；vi.朝向；adv.在前面；向前；n.人名)End of the sale process getting people Interested enough in thecompany.

If yes, which country would you like to visit?I want to travel around the world, That is my wildest dream. Now, I can only seethe world through pictures and videos.

It needs hundreds of hoursof study and practice, and even this will not guarantee success, so, in order tolearn English well. I have some ways.First of all, I am an independent learner, instead of waiting for the teacherto explain. I try to find the patterns and the rules for myself. When I guess wrong,t guess again, I try to learn from my mistakes.Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, I always lookfor the chance to use English, I often find English-native speakers and ask themto correct my mistakes, it is more important to learn to think in the language thanto come the meaning of every word.Finally, I am an English learner with a purpose. Except passing all kinds ofEnglish exams, I am still very interested in English and the people who speak it,I find it easy to practice using English regularly, because I really want to learn with it. All in all, I am an independent active and purposeful English learner, and I willstick to it.。
