A teacher is supposed to be an expert in his or her own field, they should also have some knowledge in other fields, cuz lots of subject are related with other fields for example, geopolitical science deals with geography and politics, behavioral economics is about psychology and economics. Most important of all, a knowledgeable teacher will be more popular than a teacher with very limited knowledge.
8. Describe a time you learned a new subject.
When I was in junior high, I had to learn English for the first time, and it was really hard for me to pick up at first. The words, grammar and sentence patterns are just so different from Chinese. But with the help of my English teacher, I gradually learnt some basic words and useful phrases, and I started practicing English with foreigner whenever I got a chance, the more I acquire, the more I am willing to learn and I put more effort and I am determined to be really good in English. Now, after so many years, I am still a big fan of the English language, and I cannot live a single day without it.
9. What do you think the government should do to decrease the usage of cars or other vehicles and solve the traffic problems?
There are lots of ways for the city to decrease the usage of cars and other vehicles, and deal with the traffic jams. Firstly, the decision makers should invest more money to improve public transportation, like adding more bus routes; develop express local trains and renovating bumpy roads. Secondly, they in order to limit the number of private cars on roads, more tax should be imposed on gasoline price, and they probably should reduce the price of public transportation, and make it more accessible to citizens, so when they commute, they will only consider using public transportation.

When you sweat a lot, it helps your system to get rid of the poisonous stuff within your body.

11. Describe a type of movie you don't like.
Well, this is a very interesting question and I have never thought about it. Generally, I like all kinds of movie that is interesting and relaxing. Since I am a person who likes funny stuff, so I guess I don't like horror movies. The only reason I watch movie is to get some relaxation and enjoy my free time, however whenever I watch horror movies, I feel I am so disturbed and very uncomfortable, and my immune system might suffer from the creepy scenes and music, and I might get a serious cold after a horror movie, that is why I am not a big fan of this kind of movie.
12. Talk about an activity you enjoyed doing with your family when you were a child, explain your answer in details.
My most memorable experience when I was a kid is to take the vacation on the beach with the whole family. Since, my home town is not far from a coastal city in China. We went there, enjoyed bathing in the sun while appreciating the beautiful scenery alone the seashore, like the blossom and palm trees and stuff. We tried out the sea food like salmon, tuna and even some lobsters. Apart from that, the most exciting stuff I did when visiting this nice and beautiful city was sea and water activities like snorkeling, wakeboarding and even jet skiing with my dad. But I remembered that I got a little sun though.
13. Talk about a special event you participated, and explain it in details.
Well, recently, I participated in a basketball game together with my fellow teammates representing our university, and finally we won the game. I learned the importance of cooperation and responsibility when I participated this event, me and my teammate struggled together for a common goal to win the game, offered each other motivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myself during the game, and I think this is very meaningful.
Task 2
1. Do you prefer to live in a residence where there are strict rules (such as rules against making loud noises at night), or do you prefer to live in a residence without strict rules.
Personally, I would like to choose a residence with strict rules. Our home is supposed to a place where we can relax and take a good a rest, thus get ready for the next day. As a student, I am occupied with lots of assignments, like papers, presentations, and even group project during the day. If I go back home at night and still don't have a chance to take a good rest, I will be really mad. To be able to live in a place with strict rules, we will not be distracted and disturbed by others, also, it restrains oneself from doing something disruptive to others, and I think it is mutually beneficial to one another.
2. Some people would like to live in a historical building, while others prefer to live in a modern building, which one do you prefer and explain why.
Personally, I would say I'd like to live in a modern building. Even though, the historical buildings with different architectural styles are very appealing, I think it is pretty scary to live in there, it might be haunted. A modern building is more comfortable to live in, it has lots of modern facilities, like big glass windows, so it makes it easier for the sunlight to get in. If you happen to live in a tall modern building, you get a chance to appreciate the view of the whole city at night, that will be really awesome. Based on these reasons I find it more comfortable to live in a modern building.
3. Some like do jobs with different tasks and others prefer to do the same task every day. Which one do you prefer?
I would like to choose a job that requires me to do lots of tasks. First of all, sitting in the office and repeating the same task again and again can be killing. I will be really bored doing these repetitive tasks, and my working efficiency will be very low. Secondly, doing lots of tasks can develop myself to be a well-rounded person, now the job market is very competitive. If you are trained to do different kind of tasks in a professional setting, you will be more popular in the job market, thus have a better shot in getting a higher-paid job.
4. Some people believe that it is better for children to grow up in big cities. Others believe that it is better for children to grow up in rural areas. What is your opinion and why?
I would say it is better for children to grow up in big cities. The facilities and the atmosphere will be very beneficial to kids to grow up in a city. For example, kids are likely to get better education, medical treatment, and even social welfare. However, kids that live in the country are not that lucky. Apart from that, a big city is multi cultural and full of dynamics, there are people from all over the country and even from around the globe. Getting a chance to experience different languages, customs and cultures will benefit the kids a lot when they grow up and it will make them a better and well-rounded person.
5. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Students should have some working experience such as doing a part-time job before going to college.
I would say students should definitely have some working experience like taking a part time job before going to university. I have the following reasons for support. To begin with, you can make some money out of any part time job, and by saving up lots of money, you probably can pay some part of your expensive college tuition, and buy things you are interested in. On top of that, doing a part-time job helps to make someone a responsible person, by working with co-workers, you can develop social skills and organizational skills, which are fairly important for one's future career, and that might give you a better shot to land a sweet job after graduation in college.
6. Would you like to make friend with different interest or the one with same interest? And why?
I would like make friends with different interests. Even though it might be easy for two people with the same interest to be friends, as the saying goes birds of the same feather flock together. By making friends with people of interest interests, we can get a chance to know more, like, we can know more in different fields, if your friend happens to be a car fan, you will broaden your knowledge about different types of cars. Also, your friend can learn something that he is not very familiar to him, it is always a good thing to learn from others and have something to offer at the same time.
7. When going on a vacation, some people prefer to stay in a hotel, while others prefer to camp outside in a tent. Which do you prefer?
Personally, I would choose to camp outside in a tent. The only reason for me to go on a vacation is to get away from the busy streets and concrete jungles, and get a chance to be close to mother nature, by camping outside, I got a chance to appreciate the beautiful starry sky at night, and enjoy the tranquility, I don't have the chance to enjoy that moment when living in the city. Also, camping outside makes it easier for you to do some hiking, like walking on the trail, and do some fishing and BBQ.
8. While traveling, some people prefer to go to new places, others prefer to visit familiar places. Which do you think it better? Explain why.
Personally, I would to choose to travel to new places instead of familiar places. I am the kind of person who likes new and exciting things and exploration. Just visiting a familiar place is not fun, and actually it is pretty boring. On top of that, travelling around in different places makes me a well-rounded person. When travelling, I got a chance to talk to locals and get to know their culture, customs and way of living. By interacting with them I can broaden my horizon and have new perspective on things.
9. When getting advice, some people prefer to go to their parents, others prefer to go to their friends. Which do you prefer? Explain why.
I definitely prefer to get advice from my friends for the following reasons. First, it’s so much easier for me to talk about my problem with my peers instead of my parents. My parents might think they are more experienced in life and everything, and tend to judge on lots of issues. However, my friends are pretty laid-back, and they actually are very helpful when I have problems and talk it over with they, cuz we have the same age, and our problems are pretty much similar with each other, so their advice is very relevant.
10. Some people prefer to buy innovative high-tech products like cell phones and computers when they first came out, others would buy them after the price has been decreased. Which do you prefer and why?
I would say I like to buy innovative high-tech products after the price goes down, and I have a few reasons for support. First and foremost, products with cutting edge and state of the art technology are usually very expensive when they first come out, and as a college student I do not have lost money to waste on that, cuz I have to pay college tuition, textbooks and stuff like that. Additionally, we consume technological products for its convenience and they will be as valuable and convenient as they firstly show up in the market, so it is more advisable to buy that after a while.
11. Some people prefer to own books and movies, other prefer to borrow or rent them from libraries and stores. Which do you prefer?
I definitely choose to buy my books, and keep them as mine. I am wimp about germs, and every time I think about how many people have touched or held the books in the library, I decide not to borrow books from the library. Plus, as a working professional, I don't want to waste my energy remembering the deadline of the book, having to return it on time. Since I am a big fan of owning books, I just go the bookstore and buy the books that I want.
