II. Suggested Answers

1. Good morning, my name is Jake Edward. Could you tell me your full name please?

My family name is Huang, and my given name is Qi Guang.

2. And what shall I call you?

Most people call me Xiao Huang.

3. Can I see your identification please?

Yes, here it is.

4. Does your name have any special meaning?

a. Yes. My family name "Huang" means yellow. My given name has two parts. The first part "Qi" means something like enlightenment or the start. The second part "Guang" means light. It was given to me by my grandfather. Actually, all the boys of my generation in my family have the character "Qi" in their names.

b. The first part of my name means "bright" — as in light. The second part means "true" or "truth". Taken together, my name means "Bright Truth". My grandmother gave this name to me.

5. What's the literal translation of your name?

Well, Huang literally translates as "yellow", and "Qi" means "enlightened or the start". "Guang" literally means "light or bright". So, taken together, my given name means something like "the beginning of light" or "being enlightened with light" or something to that effect.

6. Where do you come from?

a. I was born in Xi'an, which is one of the major cities in China. It used to be the capital city at one point in China's history.

b. I come from Shanghai, but I was born in Xi'an. My parents moved to Shanghai when I was just 4 years old, so I really don't know much about Xi'an, apart from occasional summer visits to see some good friends of the family. In fact, I don't have any relatives at all living in Xi'an.

7. Where were you born?

I was born in Xi'an, which is in the centre of China. It's a famous historic city, and is also well known to tourists who travel the Silk Road.

8. Where about is your hometown?

Xi'an is located in Shanxi Province, which is in central China.

9. What kind of landscape surrounds your hometown?

Xi'an is surrounded by plains, and is bordered by a plateau to the north and the Qinling Mountains to the south.

10. Could you tell me something about your hometown?

a. Hmm ... well, the population is about 6 million. It's famous for its historic sites, especially for the Terracotta Warriors. Xi'an was named the capital of China several times over many dynasties. Also, Xi'an is the starting point of the famous Silk Road, which was important in ancient times. The weather is extremely hot in summer, about 40 degrees Centigrade, and fairly cold in the winter, about 14 degrees Centigrade below zero.

b. Okay. Well, first of all, my hometown is "X". I was born in the city, but moved to the outskirts of the town when I was small. "X" is a fairly large city — a pretty important economic centre actually. It has a population of 3 million. It's pretty flat, and is situated right near a large lake.

11. What are the main tourist attractions in Beijing?

They are the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace. Beijing has a lot of other famous sites as well.

12. What is the climate like in your hometown?

It's generally very hot in summer, about 40 degrees Centigrade. In winter, it's cold — about minus 14 degrees Centigrade. The spring and autumn are both mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 degrees Centigrade. Oh, and the summer time is extremely humid as well. There are four seasons. Winter is cold and snowy; spring is short and rainy; summer is hot and humid; and autumn is beautiful.

13. What are the people like in your hometown?

They are usually very friendly and somewhat conservative. If you were to visit Xi'an, you'd soon notice that the people still retain many ancient customs and traditions, which is what I mean by conservative. You'd also notice that people there are very helpful. If you ask someone for directions, they will try to help you out, or find someone else who can help you.

14. What are the differences in accent between the people of your hometown and Beijing?

a. In (name of hometown), we pronounce (a word) like (hometown's pronunciation), but in Beijing, they say (Beijing's pronunciation).

b. There are quite a few differences between my hometown dialect and Beijing dialect. I can't even describe them. When I speak in my local dialect, people in Beijing have no idea what I'm saying.

c. Well, you know Beijing dialect usually has an "errr" added to a lot of words. We don't do that in my hometown. Also, some of the tones are different, and there are slight differences in pronunciation. In Beijing, people might say "shi" meaning "ten", but in my hometown, we say "si". Those are the main differences.

d. In my hometown, if we want to say "a little", we say "yi dian dian". But in Beijing, they say "yi diar". The accent in Beijing has a very strong "rrr" sound to the end of words. We don't have that at all in my hometown. And, I found it hard to get used to at first when I came to Beijing.

15. What kind of food and dishes do people eat in your hometown?

Definitely jiaozi or dumplings. My province is famous for its vinegar, which is used when we eat dumplings.

16. Tell me about what's the biggest traditional festival in your country.

Definitely the Spring Festival. I suppose it's somewhat like Christmas in western countries. Spring Festival is the only time when all families gather together and stores and business are closed for several days.

17. What do you do during the Spring Festival?

I usually go back to my hometown and spend a week in my parents' home. We eat delicious food, visit family and friends, and watch TV. I also like to try and contact my high school friends and see how they're doing and what they're up to. We give each other presents and we buy ourselves new clothes to wear for the new year.

18. Can you describe one of the main festivals celebrated in your country?

National Day, which is on October 1st, is a big holiday. We get three days off and there are a lot of fireworks displays. There are large flower pictures and other types of flowers decorating the city, and some of the larger cities hold parades.

19. What are some customs in your country that I should know about?

China has a great number of customs. Let me tell you something about friendship. Really good friends will always help each other. I can go to a friend's home any time of the day, and he will drop what he is doing and welcome me. It might sound strange to you, because I know that in the West, people usually schedule appointments with each other in advance. But, our friendships in China are very strong and deep, and it would be unheard of not to drop what you are doing and invite a friend in.

21. What is the weather like in Beijing?

There are four seasons. Winter is cold, dry and windy, with a bit of snow. Spring is short and wet. Summer is hot and humid, with temperatures as high as 30 degrees Centigrade. It's pretty miserable in the summer unless you have air conditioning. Fall is probably the best season — it's very comfortable — not windy, not cold, not humid.

22. How do you compare the climate in Beijing with that in your hometown?

It's about the same, except that we get a lot more snow in my hometown than we get in Beijing. I suppose it has something to do with the geography of the two cities.

23. What places in Beijing do you like best? Why?

I like the Temple of Heaven best because it's very beautiful. The park around it is very spacious and is filled with large gingko trees and some very old trees. Also, in the early morning, it's very peaceful. The older generations are practicing their Tai-ji, while the younger children are running around and playing.

24. What places in Beijing should a foreigner visit? Why?

I would recommend the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and the Forbidden City. Those are the most famous places in the city. Of course, there are many other places that have less historic significance, but those four places are really worth seeing.

25. What are the major social problems in Beijing? How can they be solved?

There are a lot of people who have recently been laid off work. They have little income and many have a family to support. I think they should be given a chance to get another job — maybe by giving them more training or something like that. Perhaps if the government provided a short-term vocational training course to people who have been laid off ... that would help with the unemployment problem.

26. What is the biggest problem China faces?

Overpopulation. Even though China has the one-child policy, it still has a huge population. The government wants to provide food and education for everyone, but they haven't yet attained their goal. Many of China's problems stem from overpopulation.

27. What places do you recommend a foreigner to visit in your hometown and why?

I'm from Xi'an. I think the Terracotta Warriors is really worth seeing. It is the tomb of Qinshihuang, the first emperor of ancient China as a unified country. There are thousands of Terracotta soldiers buried together with the emperor's body in the tomb. It looks really magnificent.

28. Which city, in your opinion, is the best city in China?

Beijing, because it's the capital of China and has a very rich culture. In addition, Beijing is more beautiful than many other cities, because it's the showcase of China. A lot of money has been invested in Beijing and it is a very interesting place to visit.

29. Has tourism changed China very much?

Yes, very much in the last 10 years. Each year we are getting more tourists coming to China since the adoption of the open door policy. People see more foreigners and are used to the sight of foreigners compared to years ago. This is true in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou etc. China is becoming more cosmopolitan and people are getting more knowledge of the outside

world.

30. Has the transport changed over the past 20 years in China?

Yes, very much indeed. We used to have very few bus lines years ago. Most people would use their bikes to get to places in the city. But now in big cities, there are more bus lines linking different places so it is a lot more convenient. Some cities also have subway lines so it makes traveling much faster than before. There are also more taxis in cities and more people are also using that as a mode of transportation.

31. Is there anywhere you would particularly like to visit on your holidays? Where and why?

Yes, I would love to visit Xinjiang if I have a chance. Xinjiang is in the west of China and it has a large platform. The people there are mostly minority groups and I saw in the pictures the landscape is incredibly beautiful. If I travel to Xinjiang, I would take a train so that I can see the landscape throughout the journey.

32. Let's talk a little about traveling and transport. For a long trip, how do you prefer to travel?

In my country, if it is a long trip, I would prefer to take a train ride. Not only is train ride more economical, but also the time and route have shortened tremendously in the past few years. Air travel is more expensive and they are often beyond my budget.

33. Tell me about the kind of accommodation you live in either this country or in your village.

In my country, I live in a two-bedroom apartment with my parents. The apartment is not big but we have made it very comfortable to live in. We live on the third floor and there is no lift in our building. The highest is the sixth floor so those who live on the sixth floor have to climb up and down every day.

34. Let's talk about your hometown or village. What kind of place is it?

My hometown is in the outskirts of Beijing. Maybe one hour travel time to get to Beijing. Fairly close I would say. The people there are mostly farmers but many young people have gone to Beijing to work. I like the place because it is very quiet. Unlike the people in big cities who are more complicated, the people of the place where I come from are usually more down to earth.

35. What do you usually do in your holidays?

During my holiday, I would try to meet with friends and go on outings. That's the only time I can relax and do something I enjoy. Other than that, it is really difficult because I am always busy with my work and sometimes I have to work night shifts.

36. Why do you think trains are better than buses?

Trains are better because they don't encounter any traffic, whereas sometimes in the bus, we get stuck in the traffic. Also, it is always difficult to get on the buses during the peak hour but with the train, you can bet that the chances of getting on are always greater during the peak hour.

37. Can you tell me something about your family?

I have 3 brothers and no sisters. Both of my parents are still living, and are still working. My

grandparents on my father's side are both living too, though my mother's parents have already passed away. I am also married ... I got married 2 years ago.

38. Do you have children?

b. No, not yet. But, I do hope to have more than one child some day.

39. What is your child's name?

His name is Zhang Weijun. It means something like being handsome forever. I chose this name for my son because I thought he was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. So, I wanted to remember his handsome features by his name.

40. What is your son/daughter like? Tell me about his/her personality.

At first, he seems to be quite shy. But, once he gets to know you, you'll find he's very talkative and even a bit bossy. He likes to win and be first at everything, but he will allow other children to take their turns too. He's very funny and loves to play all sorts of word games with me.

41. What does your wife/husband do for a living?

My husband is a teacher. He's been working in Beijing Language and Culture University ever since he graduated from university. I think he really loves teaching, and he'll probably stay in this profession forever, even though it's not a very lucrative job.

42. When did you get married?

On February 14th, 1994. We chose to get married on Valentine's Day because we thought it would be very romantic. Also, it was about 2 years before, on Valentine's Day when we first met.

43. Tell me something about your wedding, please. What happened? Did you have any kind of ceremony?

It was a small wedding. Just our family and close friends came. We didn't have any special ceremony, just a banquet in the evening to celebrate our wedding. I was very tired during the banquet because we had to constantly take care of our friends. We had to light each of their cigarettes, pour their drinks and just generally serve them. They also played tricks on us to try to get us to kiss or hug each other. It was a lot of fun, but I just remembered being extremely tired when it was all over.

44. What did you/your wife wear on your wedding day?

a. She wore a pink wedding dress —western style, then changed into a red traditional Chinese dress. She also had fresh flowers in her hair and wore a pink veil over her head. When she changed into the red dress, she also changed her hairstyle and shoes.

b. He wore a new navy blue suit with a white shirt and bow tie. Even his shoes were brand new. He still has the suit that he wore on our wedding day, and wears it out only for special occasions.

45. Where did you go for your honeymoon?

We went to Thailand. It's a country that I'd always heard about and had been eager to visit. I must say that I enjoyed it very much. The Thai people are extremely hospitable, and everything in Thailand is very cheap ... even cheaper than in China! It was fun to explore a new country with my husband.

46. Did you have to ask for permission from your parents before you got married?

a. No, in fact my parents didn't even know I had got married until after the fact. I suppose I should have asked them for permission ahead of time, but they always let me do whatever I want to do, so I thought they wouldn't mind if I got married. Now that I think about it, I feel I really should have asked them.

b. Yes. Both my fiancéand I had to ask our parents for their permission. It was quite awkward at first, because our parents didn't know each other and they each had many questions to ask about my fiancé's family. I hope my fiancé didn't feel uncomfortable when my parents were grilling me about his family. But after an hour or so, they felt quite happy about our engagement, and gave us their blessings to be married.

47. Could you tell me what happens at a wedding in your country?

Well, it varies from place to place. But usually a wedding begins early in the morning. The bridegroom, together with some of his relatives and friends has to pick up the bride and her family from her home by beautifully decorated cars. Then the two families and friends will usually have a banquet together. The bride and bridegroom have to bow to their parents, Heaven and Earth, and to each other, then they have to serve the people with food, drinks, cigarettes and candies while some young people may try to play tricks on them. The whole thing will come to an end in the afternoon.

48. What kind of parent do you intend to be?

I want to have a good relationship with my child. I have seen so many kids who don't really know their own parents, and I don't want to end up like that. I do plan to be strict, but loving. I want my child to always feel comfortable to approach me, whether they've been good or bad. It's pretty easy to tell you what kind of parent I want to be, but when I actually become a parent, I'm sure I'll have to revise my ideals a bit.

49. What hopes or fears do you have for your children?

I hope my child will go to university, find a good job, and have a family. But, children have a very tough life these days. They must study all the time just to have a chance to go to university. They have very little time to play and enjoy as a child. I really fear that my child will be old before his/her time. Then, what's the point of having a child after all?

50. What sort of culture do you hope your child will grow up in?

I hope my child will still know something about China's ancient culture and traditions, and also have a chance to combine these with modern society. I don't want him to just accept everything that is "western" and throw away everything that is "Chinese". Certainly there are people who just think "western" things are better than "Chinese" things. I want my child to be

proud of his Chinese heritage, but also be able to choose the best from the West.

51. As a parent, do you plan to raise your children differently from how your parents raised you?

a. No. In fact, my parents were really very good. They praised me and hugged me often. I remember the stories they told me and the way they spent time with me. I do hope to be the same kind of good parent to my child, as my parents were to me.

b. Yes. I want to hug and praise them more. My parents rarely complimented me about anything, though I know they love me very much. They just worked hard and provided for my physical needs, but they never, ever asked me about how I was feeling and things like that. I wish I could have communicated more openly with them.

52. How different is your life from the lives of your parents?

It's very different. I have had many more opportunities and a much more comfortable life than they had. I remember my father telling me stories about having just one egg to eat each week, and that was the highlight of his week. I can't really imagine life like that, so I'm grateful that I have a better life than my parents did. I appreciate their hard work to get us to this point in our lives.

53. Are you going to bring up your child differently?

I will let my child choose his own path in life. I will not be as strict with him as my parents were with me. At the same time. I'll give him/her my advice and suggestions. I'll try to be a guide instead of an instructor.

54. As a parent, do you plan to do anything different for your child than your parents did for you?

I would like to bring up my child differently from the way I was brought up because I want him/her to have better chances in life. I want him/her to develop his/her imagination, creativity, persistence and independence.

55. Do you enjoy shopping?

a. Yes! I spend most of my weekends shopping. Even if it's just buying something small, I love to walk around and see what's on sale and what's available. My husband thinks I'm crazy about shopping, and he always tells me that I'm spending too much money. So, it's a bit of an issue of conflict between my husband and me right now.

b. No, not at all. I really can't stand it. Whenever my wife wants to go shopping, I just hand her some money and tell her to have a good time. I'd rather stay at home and just relax than fight the crowds in a busy shopping mall. I also hate just standing around and waiting for my wife to decide what to buy. It seems she takes an eternity to make a simple decision.

56. Who does most of the shopping in your family?

Well, I do most of the grocery shopping because there's a market very close to my work. It's

very convenient for me to pick up milk or eggs or what ever on my way home from work. But, my wife also enjoys shopping very much. She usually does a lot of the clothes shopping for my son and me.

57. Do you enjoy cooking?

a. Yes, very much. I can cook many different styles of dishes — from Sichuan style to Peking duck. My husband says that I'm really a very good cook, and he always talks about starting a restaurant one day, and hiring me as his chief cook.

b. No. I really hate cooking. I just don't like to spend much time on cooking, so I usually eat in the cafeteria. I know the food's not very tasty in the cafeteria, but I don't have enough money to eat out in a restaurant all the time, and I'm too lazy and unmotivated to cook for myself.

58. Are you a good cook?

a. Yes. I learned everything from my mother who was really famous in our hometown for her cooking. I suppose she learned how to cook from her mother as well. I think that's how I won my husband's heart, by being such a good cook. He really appreciates good food, and I enjoy cooking for him.

b. No. I'm a terrible cook. No one has ever taught me how to cook. I barely know how to boil an egg. Well, I do know how to make instant noodles, but it's just a matter of pouring boiling water on them and waiting for some time. I don't like cooking either, but I do like eating. I suppose I'll have to marry someone who is a good cook.

59. Who does most of the cooking in your family?

My husband does most of the cooking. For some reason, he finds cooking more enjoyable than I do. He also gets home from work earlier than I, so he just starts cooking dinner. By the time I get home, dinner's almost ready. I do cook meals on weekends, but most of the time, it's my husband who cooks.

60. Do you have a lot of friends?

It depends on what you mean by "a lot" ... I do have one or two very close friends, which is all that I need. I don't have any trouble making friends, and I do have many good friends and acquaintances. But, really I feel most close to just one or two friends.

61. What is your major?

I majored in Accounting, a major part of the School of Business at my university. I mainly studied international accounting system in foreign trade, to be more specific.

62. Why did you choose software development as your major?

Because I'd always enjoyed working with computers and I was always good at math and logic. I was fortunate to have a computer in my home when I was in high school, and I spent quite a lot of time just playing around on the computer. My parents bought me all sorts of books on computer programming, and I just started to read them and pick up the ideas in them.

63. How do you like your major?

a. I enjoy it very much. I didn't know very much about it before I studied it, but I'm glad I chose it because it suits me a lot. My father actually suggested that I major in Accounting, because he thought that I would enjoy it.

b. I don't like it at all. I wish I could have chosen a different one, but it's next to impossible to change majors. I just hope that when I get a job, I won't have to do a lot of work in my major.

64. When and where did you graduate? What qualifications have you obtained?

I graduated in 1995 from Beijing Science and Technology University. I have a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, and I'm a licensed Professional Engineer in China.

65. Could you tell me something about your educational background?

I went to Peking University and studied Civil Engineering. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 1992. Then, I worked for 3 years in a factory before I went back to school and continued my studies at Beijing Polytechnic University, where I just graduated last year with a Master's degree in Business.

66. Which university is the best one in your country?

Qinghua University is probably the best, although there are also others which are considered to be top notch. Still, Qinghua has the best international reputation, so I think most people would say it's the best.

67. Why do you think Qinghua is the best university in your country?

Because it is one of the leading centres of scientific research, not only in China but also around the world. Many of the professors are doing research projects with professors in other countries, and are at the cutting edge of new technology. Also, it is one of the most difficult universities to get into.

68. How are you as a student?

I am a very organized and highly motivated student. I study very hard, and like to constantly review my lecture notes and textbooks. After each class, I re-read all my notes and refer to them in the textbook. When I encounter something I'm not sure of, I make a point of finding the professor and asking him or her for further explanation. Also, I have a very good memory. Once I learn something, I remember it for a very long time.

69. How do you try to get good grades as a student?

I think it's important for a top student to be very intelligent, hardworking, and motivated. Without these three key factors, a student will not achieve his/her full potential. Also, the very best student must be more intelligent, more hardworking and even more motivated than his peers.

70. Is there anything you don't like about your studies?

Generally I like my studies but I hate the examination system. There are too many

examinations during my school years and most of the time we have to memorize lots of things in books. I'm not very good at that and I find it's a waste of time and energy. Other than that, I quite enjoy my school time.

79. What hind of hobbies do you have?

I'm a big basketball fan, even though I'm not very good at playing basketball myself. I love to watch the NBA on TV whenever I get a chance. I play ping-pong and volleyball whenever I can.

80. How did you become interested in your hobby?

When I was young, my father has always involved me in different activities. My father like play ping-pong in his part time. So I always have a chance to follow him when he practiced. When I was in the school, I got a chance to play with other students in other sports. So that's how I developed my skills in different sports.

81. What do you do in your spare time?

I like to play on the computer and surf the internet. Once I get on the internet, I find that time really passes very quickly. Before I know it, several hours have passed and my back and neck are aching. I also like to go out for walks and read novels on ancient Chinese history.

82. How do you spend your weekends?

I usually sleep on Saturday morning if I can, study in the afternoon in the library, and go out with friends in the evening. On Sundays, I like to go shopping and just spend time walking around outside, if the weather is nice. If I don't have much money, I still like to go window shopping and I almost get as much pleasure out of that!

83. What is your favorite sport? What are the rules?

I like football most. The rules are basically this: There are two teams of eleven players. Each team tries to kick the ball into the other team's goal. You can't hit the ball with your hands, unless you're the goalkeeper. Also, football is a non-contact sport, so if you tackle an opposing player, you will be given a warning, and you might even be kicked out of the game if you persist.

84. What is the most popular sport in your country?

I'd have to say that football is really the most popular sport in China. There are literally millions of crazy football fans. Whenever there is a match on TV between China and another country, you can hear loud cheers and shouts all around the city whenever China scores a goal, and loud groans and moans when the other country scores.

85. What are the sports facilities like in your university/Beijing?

a. At my university, we have mostly outdoor facilities — a track, football field, volleyball and badminton courts, and ping pong tables. The university is just now installing a new sports facility, but I'm not really sure what it's going to be. I think there will probably be a weight room and maybe even a swimming pool.

b. Beijing has a lot of modern indoor facilities offering bowling, tennis, swimming, and other

things. But, it's too expensive for most Chinese, and you have to belong to the club in order to use the facilities.

86. How do you spend your free time?

I attend training courses in the evenings. However, as a mother, I also take my son somewhere on weekends. For example, I may drive to the suburbs or the countryside around Beijing and go fishing, swimming and mountain climbing. I enjoy family life very much.

87. Do you like reading books or newspapers?

Yes, I like to read newspapers such as the 21st Century and China Daily. I usually read as much as I have time for, which sometimes is quite a lot. Both of these newspapers are in English, and I find that it really is a good way for me to practise my English.

88. Do you often go to the cinema/theatre?

a. Yes. On Friday nights, I usually go and watch whatever's playing. It's kind of a family tradition that I started when my son was young.

b. No. I'm not really interested in the theatre. I'd much rather read newspapers and watch TV than pay for the theatre.

89. Which cinema do you often go to?

There's a cinema just around the corner from my home. It's called the Poly Plaza Cinema. It's probably one of the largest cinemas in Beijing, so they always play the most modern films. And, the ticket price is still fairly reasonable.

90. What kind of films do you like?

I definitely like comedy best. I don't see why I should pay money to be sad or scared, so I really don't like the tear-jerker type of films nor horror films. I don't mind adventure type films, just as long as they don't become horror films.

91. What kinds of things do you like doing when you're not working?

a. I'm kind of an indoor type of person, so I guess I like reading most. I am interested in reading all kinds of books and newspaper or magazine articles, especially those on current issues.

I just want to be informed of what's going on in the world.

b. I'm kind of an outdoor type. I like to go swimming or play badminton with my family or friends during weekends or holidays. If I have a longer vacation, I usually travel to further away places all over the country.

92. Do you often watch TV? What's your favourite programme?

a. No, I hardly watch TV at all. In fact, I don't find most programmes interesting. I think it's just a waste of time watching TV.

b. Yes, I like watching the news. But, I don't really watch many other shows on TV besides

the news. I just don't have time to see what's on each week. Some TV shows are done in several parts. If you miss one or two episodes, you're really lost. So, because I don't watch TV that regularly, I really find that it's hard to follow a series when I miss several episodes. So, I don't watch them.

93. What kind of music do you like?

Definitely classical music. I have nearly every famous classical work ever recorded. I could sit for hours in a room with my stereo turned up, just listening to classical music. I have also attended several concerts here in Beijing, where world famous orchestras have come to play the great works of Mozart or Beethoven or Chopin or other composers.

94. Who's your favourite film star? Can you describe him/her to me?

I like Leonardo di Caprio. I first saw him when he starred in Titanic, and after that I was head over heels in love with him. He's very handsome ... blonde hair, blue eyes. He has this look about him that makes him seem very sad, but at the same time hopeful. I have his posters all over my room at home.

95. Do you enjoy travelling?

Yes, very much. I've been to most of the major cities in China, and I've also travelled to Thailand and Singapore. I think that the more I travel, the more I want to travel. It's so interesting to see how other people live, and it helps me to have a better understanding of other people. It's really an amazing way to learn about different cultures — much more exciting and lasting longer than just reading about it in a textbook.

96. What do you know about Britain/Canada/Australia?

I've never been to Canada, but I know it's a developed country with excellent education and health care systems. The population is about 30 million, which I find surprising, considering its very large land areas. One of my foreign English teachers was from Canada, and he showed me many pictures of Canada. It's a very beautiful country, with many different kinds of landscapes. Also, it's quite cold there in the winter time.

97. What sort of accommodation would you most likely to live in when you get to England?

I think I will try to live in an apartment share with other students. Something like one-bedroom or a two-bedroom apartment. I was told living in room and board is more expensive than living in an apartment. Besides, I prefer to cook my own meals so living in dormitory or room and board are out of the question for me.

98. What problems or difficulties do you think you may have in Britain/Canada/Australia?

I will probably have some trouble with English at first. I heard that once you get used to using English all the time, it gets a lot easier to pick it up. I suppose I'll also need to learn how to do things in Canada. For example, I don't know how to buy an underground ticket and use the transportation system, mail a letter, open a bank account, and other things. I think that's pretty normal to have these troubles when I first arrive.

99. How will you try to overcome the difficulties? How will you deal with them?

I have friends who are already living in Australia. They said they would help me if I ran into trouble. In fact, some of my friends are recent immigrants to Australia, and have just gone through the whole adjustment process. I also have a couple of friends who were born and raised in Australia, who promised to help me adapt myself to the life there. Also, I've heard that people in Australia are very friendly. So, I hope to be able to ask them for a little help too.

100. Students' lives are quite competitive. Do you think you'll be able to manage the demand in Britain/Canada/Australia?

Yes, but I think it will be difficult at first. But I am sure my English will improve quickly. Once I get used to the British accent, I'll be able to understand things a lot better. Unfortunately, I have mostly focused on studying American English, so it will be a bit of an adjustment to learn British English. Also, I have been studying a lot of technical vocabulary to prepare me for studying my major in English instead of in Chinese.

101. What difficulties do you think you'll encounter in your studies in Britain/Canada/Australia?

Well, besides initial language difficulties, I'll have to adjust to a different system of education and research. I've heard that students are usually quite active in the classroom and often ask questions of their professors. We don't do that at all in China, but I do think it's a good way to learn. In China, we aren't taught to question the professor nor the textbook. But in Britain, I know that it's important to not just accept what you hear or read without trying to truly understand it. On a minor note, I'll be a bit confused at first about using the library, and I won't know exactly what to do when I want to buy a meal in the cafeteria.

102. Can you imagine what life in Britain/Canada/Australia will be like?

I have seen many pictures of Canada. I'm looking forward to the fresh air and beautiful scenery. In some ways I can just picture me there. But, I've never been to Canada before, so what I picture now, I'm sure, is not even close to what it will actually be like. Even though some of my friends have already immigrated to Canada or they're studying, I can only get a partial glimpse of what it will be like. I'm looking forward to the adventure!

103. How do you think you'll feel being so far away from your family?

Of course I will miss them deeply, but we plan to email each other a lot. I know that my family will be alright in China, and probably they will be more worried about me than I will be about them. There's no doubt that it will be a sacrifice for us to be apart during my time in Australia, but as the old saying goes, "No pains, no gains."

104. What do you want/intend to study?

I plan to study Business. Hopefully at the master's degree level. I've heard that if I can get an MBA from a university in the West, my chances of getting a good job in a joint-venture company is very good. If I can't get into Business, then I hope to study Computers. Business is really my first choice, though.

105. Which university are you going to study at?

It's a small university in eastern Canada called Mount Allison University. It has a very beautiful campus, but it's quite remote. The nearest town is at least an hour's drive away. It'll be quite a change from living in a big city, but I'm looking forward to the peace and quiet.

106. Why did you choose this university? Could you tell me why you chose to study at (name of university)?

a. The London School of Economics is especially famous for Business and Economics. I have been in contact with some professors at the university, and Professor Duncan will be my supervisor for my research project. His work is right along the same lines as my research work in China. We're quite excited about the chance to work together, because we both feel that we can learn from each other, and also bring the best of the East and the West in Economic research.

b. (Name of university) is famous for my major. I have been in contact with some professors at the university, and Professor (last name) will be my supervisor for my research project.

107. Where are you going to study in Britain/Canada/Australia, and why?

In Toronto. There are three reasons for this: Firstly, it's in the south of Canada, where the climate is suitable for Chinese. Another reason is that there are many Chinese in Toronto. Finally, the University of Toronto, the biggest university in Canada, is located in this city. I was eager to study at this university after I visited their web site.

108. What are your plans in Britain/Canada/Australia?

a. I plan to study at Monash University under Professor Smitty. That should take me about 4 to 5 years to complete a doctorate. While I'm studying, I'll also be doing a lot of research in my field, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute to Professor Smitty's work. Besides the academic side, I do plan to travel all over Australia and see the sites. I want to really get a good sense of Australia and how people think and live there.

b. I've thought about this for a long time. As you know, I'm married, and my wife gave birth to our first child at the beginning of the year. So, though we applied for immigration as a family, I have to go to Canada first because my baby is too young. When I arrive in Canada, I must solve the accommodation problem by using my savings. Then, I'll try to find a job to provide for my family. Finally, I hope to study part time for a master's degree if I can find a job, or I'll have to apply for a loan to study full-time if I am unable to find a job. After a maximum of six months when everything is organized, my wife will bring our daughter to Canada. Then, as a family, we will build our life together in this new country.

109. What do you hope to gain most from your study abroad?

I hope to have a broader understanding of life in general. I know that I've lived a fairly sheltered life from the outside world so far, and there is much to learn from living and studying abroad. I really want to improve my English to the point when it's second nature to me. Also, I want to be able to take the best from the two cultures (that of the East and the West) and live my life with the best of both.

110. What do you think your studies abroad will do for your career?

It will help me to get a good job when I return to China. I know that if I want to work in a joint-venture company, I really must have fluent English, and preferably also a degree from a western university. Also, in order to work well with American or British colleagues at work, I think it's important to really understand where they are coming from. By studying abroad, I'll have first-hand knowledge of what people in America think and why they think this way. I'm sure this will help me relate better to my western counterparts.

111. What kind of differences in the cultures are you expecting between China and the UK?

I think the UK will be more religious than China, and I'm looking forward to visiting a church there. Also, business in the UK will be more formal — based on contracts, and a lot less on connections. I think that will be a bit hard to get used to. And, I think that life will move at a faster pace in Britain. I am not really looking forward to that, but I think I'll probably adjust after a while. I'm certain there are going to be other major differences that I'll encounter — perhaps in mindset or attitude, but I think I'll have to experience those things before I can really understand them.

112. What effect do you think your studies will have on your career when you get back to China?

If I can acquire some international management experience, I would have an opportunity to find a senior position with a Chinese company, because most companies now must cooperate with multinational corporations.

113. What do you intend to do after you graduate?

I plan to return to China and get a good job or if I have further opportunity, I hope to do some further study in my field once I complete this degree. It's hard to really say what I'll be doing after my studies, because I do think that many doors will be open to me once I complete a degree in Canada. I really do intend to return to China and working in some capacity here. But, it really depends where I can get a good job.

114. What will be some of your challenges you foresee when you come back to China?

I have heard that some people have a "reverse" culture shock when they return to China. I think that I might have that same feeling. It'll be another kind of adjustment to return to my homeland after having spent so much time studying abroad. I'll certainly see things with a new perspective. In terms of a job, I don't think I'll have a problem getting a good job, actually a better job, when I return to China.

115. Do you think you'll have any problems adjusting back to life in China?

Well, it may take me some time to get used to my culture again. I don't really know how big that adjustment will be though. Also, I'll have to look for a new job and probably a new place to live. That won't really be a big problem, but it will take some time to settle back down. I've also heard that sometimes people don't really adjust at all back to their homeland. They've tasted life abroad and they feel kind of boxed in once they return. I might feel like that too, but I hope not.

116. What kind of changes will you have to make when you come back to China?

Yes. I'll have to look for a new job and another place to live. I have told my boss that I'm going to study abroad. He said he would hold my job for me, but I don't think I want to resume the same position at the same company when I return. I will definitely be looking for something bigger and better. And, because my housing is linked with my current company, if I don't continue there, I'll have to find a new place to live.

117. Do you think there might be a gap between what you learned from your studies and the level of knowledge you will encounter on arrival?

a. I don't think there will be much gap because I read all the latest research that is being conducted in my field. I know that some people think we are all backwards in China, and we are just learning things that people in America learned ten or even twenty years ago. But, I have been reading everything I can find in my field and area of research. Certainly the Internet has closed much of that gap.

b. There will definitely be some gap because some of my subjects used older text books, and my professors in China didn't always keep at the forefront of their fields. I don't really know what the gaps will be, though. Some of my friends who went abroad said that it took them about a year to close the gap. They didn't elaborate on exactly what the gap was, but they said it was here and there. Not in any particular area. I'm expecting to encounter some gaps, but I believe through hard work, I will be able to handle them alright.

118. Are there any special places you want to see in Canada? What are they?

I want to see the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia and I also want to visit Quebec. I have heard so much about the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Also, I heard that Quebec is quite different than the rest of Canada. Some of my friends told me that it's like visiting Europe. Even though I don't speak French, I think it will be a very interesting place to visit. Eventually, I hope that I can drive all across Canada and really spend time getting to see all the famous sites.

119. What kind of things do you particularly want to do in Canada that you can't do here?

I want to buy a car. In China it is so hard to buy a car. There are all kinds of restrictions. Even though I've had my driver's license for more than a year, I still haven't had much opportunity to drive. Many of my friends bought a car once they arrived in Canada. It's quite funny actually, because many Chinese are eager to buy their own car. Another thing I want to do is visit my former English teacher who lives in Vancouver now. I met her in 1992 when she taught me English at my university. We've kept in touch until now, so I hope I get a chance to meet up with her again.

120. How do you like your life in (name of university)?

a. I don't like it very much. The dormitory is very crowded, the food is tasteless and my teachers aren't very inspiring. When I was a high school student, I was looking forward to university life so much. I'm quite disappointed, because it's really not what I expected. I know that I should probably make the best of the situation, but life is very boring for me right now and I have little motivation to look on the bright side of everything.

雅思口语Part2答案:成为你朋友的人

雅思口语Part2答案:成为你朋友的人参考答案: Though I have many friends, my friendship with them grew up with times and mutual understanding. But I can recall that my friendship with George grew up almost all of a sudden. George is senior to me by 2-3 years and I did not meet him until I was in the 4th semester in my University. One of my term final exam's schedules was changed and I did not know that. According to my previous exam schedule I reached my University and was totally confused what to do when I heard that the exam was already over. I went to our Departmental head's office and he could not find a way around of it. He blamed me that I should have been more careful about the changes. I explained him that I was sick and did not come to university for 3-4 days and that made me unaware of the exam schedule changes. Then I found that someone who was sitting next to me in the departmental head's office asked me to meet the course teacher and explain the situation. He then escorted me to our course teacher's room and talked to the teacher. It seemed to me that George was already personally known to our teacher and they had an intimate relationship. Hearing everything the teacher agreed to arrange an exam for me next day in his office room. My friendship with George grew up after that event and albeit our age differences we found that we had many common interests and habits. We started spending time and I visited his home many times. We worked in a retail shop for about 6 months and that helped us become more intimate.

雅思口语Part1参考答案大全

Advertisement广告 1. Do you like advertisements on TV? Oh no, TV is a purgatory. The TV advertisements today appear to be not only boring but also disturbing. They interrupt in the midst of our enjoyment of a game or a film. Most of the advertisement materials are irritating and of course of low taste. The presentation is mostly awkward and obscene. 绝不,电视简直就是炼狱。现在电视上的广告变得不仅仅是无聊了,而且还特别烦人。这些广告往往在我们欣赏比赛或电影时候的中间跳进来。大多数广告特别让人愤怒,当然品味还很低。这些广告的描述又傻又低俗。 2. What kind of advertisement do you like the most? Word of mouth is hands down the BEST advertising. It's one of the most credible forms of advertising because every time people make a recommendation, they have nothing to gain but the appreciation of those who are listening. 口碑绝对是最好的广告。这是最可信的广告方式之一,因为每当人们对一个产品做出评价时,他们除了能得到听者的感谢外,得不到任何其他好处。 3. Why do you think there are so many advertisements now? Whether you do like them or not, whenever and wherever it's possible that you can meet them. For biz sellers, ad could be very helpful to promote their products. For acceptors, ads might show some latest information. To buy or not to buy, to be fond of or not, all depend on your decisions. 无论你是否喜欢广告,你都有可能随时随地遇到它们。对于那些销售人员来说,这也许对推销商品有帮助。对于接收者来说,广告或许能展示给他们最新的信息。买或者不买,喜欢或不喜欢,就取决于个人决策了。

雅思口语Part2答案:在校学习的课程

雅思口语Part2答案:在校学习的课程 参考答案: The subject that I'd like to describe is Physics that was taught in our school. We had this subject in each year of our high school and each year a new teacher used to taught us the subject. Even we had to read physics in college as Science was my major. I remember Mr. Alex, Burter, John, David and Mrs. Jeniffer took Physics in different years. We were lucky to have good Physics teachers who could make the subject interesting and enjoyable. Our teachers used to tell us stories first and then would explain the theory, experiment or math of the text books. They would then relate the story with the study. Later they would explain us the real examples and facts. Sometimes they used to take us to the Physics labs and explain how something works. I have learned numerous things of physics from simple definition of mass to the complex explanation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. My foundation of physics grew up and expanded with the help of those teachers. The subject itself is utterly interesting if one can have passion for it. It is one such subject that one would start loving it if s/he starts understanding the underlying concepts of it. Physics is all around us and the lesson I learned from my School had helped me greatly throughout my higher academic years. Tips for answering this cue card topic: You should pick a real academic subject like Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, and Biology to answer this cue card. Then quickly take some notes including the following: 1. In which class was it taught? 2. Do not pick a subject taught in your college or university level as the cue card is asking you to talk about a subject taught in your school. 3. Try to remember a teacher's name. You can mention multiple teachers' name as the same subject in school is taught by different teachers in different classes. 4. Give a short detail what the subject. For example: The Geography would discuss about the Earth, the other planet in the solar system, atmosphere, and climate changes etc. and you should mention those. 5. Next describe how the teacher taught the subject and what things you learned from the class. 6. Mention some interesting things you learned from the class and how the teacher made things easier to understand for you. 7. Describe how interested you were about the subject and the class. 8. Relate how this subject has later helped you/ influenced you in your education and learning process. 9. Finally give a conclusion by mentioning how beneficial the subject for students. If you pick Math try to focus on the following issues: 1. The teacher was very good explaining the intricacies of the subject. 2. You learned many theories and formulas of math. 3. This teacher explained how math would be helpful for the rest of the life and academic years.

雅思口语第三阶段问题与答案(2)

雅思口语第三阶段问题与答案(2) 16. What do you think of the 3 Gorges project? I think there are two sides to this issue. On the one hand it will probably provide a lot of needed electrical energy. I mean take the area of Chongqing. It's a growing city but it's hampered by a lack of energy and it needs to be able to feed more electrical energy to some of the poorer provinces to the west of it, particularly Tibet. Also I think it will make navigation easier along the Changjiang river and that will be good for our industries. On the other hand, I think it creates some hardships for those people living in that region, since they must be relocated and they are giving up the area that they have lived in for so long. Also, we must be very careful to make sure there is no environmental damage since there is a lot of precious life that depends on the river. 17. What do you think of the Olympic Games? Are they necessary for the world? A From my point of view, the Olympics are very good because they allow nations to come together and bring their

雅思口语第一部分常见话题

雅思口语第一部分常见话题 朗阁雅思考试研究中心 如果把经常出现的Part1话题收集起来进行分析,我们不难发现,雅思口语Part1的问题可以被划分为不同类型。其中,影响类又是较为常见的一类题目。雅思口语Part1的话题层出不穷,千变万化,涉及的面也越来越广,难度更是有所增加。不少学生总是抱怨找不到规律,对于一些难题有时甚至不知道该怎么说,完全找不到思路。本文中,朗阁雅思考试研究中心口语组的专家将以这类题型为主,为考生们提供答题的思路和技巧。 一、影响类题目概述 影响类题目是指题目中出现“effect”“affect”等关键词的题目,如:What are the effects of playing indoor games on children。按照事物的发展规律,凡事有因必有果,有行为就必有影响,只是影响的好坏大小各不相同。因此,影响类题目一直是雅思口语考试Part1话题中的热门问题。而经过一番研究我们会发现,几乎所有Part1的话题都包含影响类的题目。 回答好这类题目,我们有必要将大部分影响类的问题进行归类,并总结出各类影响的答题思路,发现其中的共性和规律,以彻底突破雅思口语Part1影响类话题。 二、影响类题目的分类 那么,雅思口语Part1影响类该如何分类呢?笔者认为,影响类话题可以从宏观和微观两个角度进行分类。 从宏观上看,影响类题目可以分为显性影响类题目和隐性影响类题目。所谓显性影响类话题,是指带有“effect”“affect”等词,可以明显判断出答题方向的题目。例如,雅思口语Part1中有这样一题——What are the effects of music on people’s life and work, 这就是显性影响类的典型问题。而所谓隐性影响类话题,是指问题中不带有“effect”“affect”等词,无法直接判断应该从影响角度切入回答的话题。但是通过一定的转换,我们可以把隐性影响类话题变为显性影响类话题。举一个例子:Do you think weekends are important
