1、Parents ’love for their children is selfless and great.How do you cherish or return it?

Parents are the most concerning people for us in the world.Everyone will feel the parents ’ love which is surrounding us every time .So we should cherish the love.

From my perspective, parent ’ love is direct,but children ’ love is hard to understand when they grow up gradually.May be in their childhood they will show the love without disguising,because parents are the closest people for them,and they see their parents every hour and moment.Nevertheless when the children come into the adolescaria,they start have many variety of negative emotions,like rebellion,complacency and so on.Then they will go through the more time with their friends,and parents are no long er the authority for them.So they don’t communicate with parents like past.Therefore I hold the idea that we should cherish the love by understanding them.Love is mutual,we can show the same love to our parents,do something which can makes them cheerfully,like being a successful man,and often calling on them ,telling your recent situation to them.In conclusion, your should reflect the love to them ,I think it is the best way to cherish the valuable love.

2、People say it is manly to return good for evil.Do you agree?Why or why not?

I don ’ t agree with the idea.As is known to all,returning good for evil is a thought from Confucius in the Chinese culture.And most Chinese accept this perspective,because returning good for the person who is doing harmful things for you is a behavior which can show your tolerant.To be honest,if

everyone can forgive others,the society will be harmony.But in my opinion,rational people will put the benefit in the first place.In our life some disgusting people like cause trouble for others and they don ’ t feel guilty.That moment you can ’ t be silence.As the saying goes:An eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth.Silence maybe not the gold for every occasion.

3、Which is more important,physical health or mental health?And why?

As far as I am concerned,they are both significant in our life.On the one hand,physical health is a foundation for human.Our bodies represent our lives,so physical health means life have a high quality.Then we will find many ways,like doing exercise,eating healthy food,giving up driving a night car,to keep healthy and make us live better.On the other hand,mental health is also a vital part for a person.It influences our emotions,thoughts and character.A person who is having the metal health problem maybe instability even commit a crime.Seriously speaking it relates to the society ‘ s peace.However to be honest there a number of people still look down upon the metal health,so we can consult and chat with psychologists to solve this problem.

4、Opportunities favor the prepared mind.Do you agree?Why or why not?

I agree with this idea.In our life some people always complain about that they don ‘ t have a condition comparing with the rich.In their eyes the rich is standing on the starting line early and occupying many chances.So they will have the psychology of hatred.But we also can see many persons don ’ t have a good environment either,they have a poor family ,and life is hard for them .However they never say give up .They are hard-working

and preparing adequately,so they will catch many opportunities by themselves.From my perspective opportunities are equal for everyone,it is up you whether you can grasp the chances which is brushing past you quietly.

5、Parents are the first teachers for children.Do you agree?Why?

From my point of view,parents are children ' s best teachers,not only because of the rich knowledge and experience they impact to us,but also the moral values they inject into our mind,which helps mold our character to a larger extent.First parents have played an important role in leading us to the unknown world.No people can help us experience or explore the great world like parents.Then parents also set an influential example for children ‘ s growth.Children will adopt the habits of their parents,especially the good ones.Furthermore,the moral qualities in parents also exert tremendous influence on children.Patience ,devotion as well as confidence from parents can change childr ens ’ attitude toward life.To sum up parents are the first teachers for children.

6、Is it good to delay the retirement age?Why?

I hold the idea that it is not good to delay the retirement age.On the one hand, now China is facing a severe employment sit uation.A variety of graduates can ’ t find a occupation to show their abilities,some of them will be habitual loafers and they do not make a living or look after their parents,children.Delaying the retirement age is reducing many opportunities for adults.On the other hand,our country will come into the rapidly aging society.Heavy work pressure applied to the older,influence their physical health and mental health.Retire people have the right to get a piece of retirement benefits and go through the rest of life

with carefree.So if the government delay the retirement age,society will be confronted with more pressure.

As we all know, exercise can promote our blood circulation. That means, exercise is able to decide that how long we would live. If a person who persists in doing exercise moderately, he is going to be more fit. When you exercise, you burn food calories as fuel that will help us to keep fit.

Even though doing exercise is good for us, remember that only doing appropriate exercise can really be beneficial to our health, otherwise the result would be opposite.

A close mouth catches no flies .As we know,good health is more important than wealth.Food gives us energy.so we must have enough food to keep healthy.Of course,we must also have the right kinds of food.We should eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat.A glass of milk and an egg a day can help make us strong.Different foods help us in different ways.But if we eat too little or too much,or if we choose the wrong food,we may become sick.It's necessary for us to have healthy eating habits.

12、What are your favorite works in Chinese literature?And why?

My favorite Chinese literature is Ordinary World written by Lu Yao.The book’s time span lasts from the 1975 to 1985, the turbulent years in Chinese history. The story happened in a small village called Shuangshui village. Almost the whole book is describe the life and people in Shuangshui village. During that ten years, the Cultural Revolution has came to an end.All of these changes lead to the happen of the story. Shungshui village and it’s people is just like a miniature picture of the whole China and it’s people. The book included every aspect of the society that time. Lu Yao wanted to use a kind of realism style of writing to draw the outline of a great social picture scroll. In the scroll, everyone in different stratum is lifelike in both characters and features. This is an important point, because of Lu Yao ‘s consummate novel skill and the deadly serious writing attitude, this novel turned into one of the best teacher aids of that period history. Life is an outward journey and there is not much time for us to squander, to grieve or to feel depressed. It will be spineless to give up our hope. Just like the famous sentence “Though the torches is drooping, the fire is burning up”. Even the most ordinary people should fight for his life.

13、I am a slow walker,but I never walk backwards.

I hold the idea that walk slowly is better than backwards

quickly.As a saying going,I am a slow walke r,but I never walk backwards.life is full of obstacle,sometimes we can ‘t find the way to go forward,or there are great stones in the way.However we should believe,before long we will wait for the sunlight and see the path,and fight against the obstacle.No matter the time ,the difficulties,one day you will be succeed and see the beautiful scenery on the top of mountain.But if you return quickly,you will lose the right of going forward again,and you will waste the efforts you made.

14、Should education teach us to make a living and live?Why? Yes,education should.With the rapid development of society,almost everyone wants to be educated.However,many people hold an erroneous view towards education.They think,probably most parents do,that through education,they will,or their children will,turn out to be either prominent scholars or rich merchants.To them,education suggests merely fame or riches.But in my opinion,education should teach us how to live.We can use the academic assignments we get on campus to find a professional job.And furthermore,education also should cultivate students ’ correct value and help them get a complete mental activity.So education should teach us to make a living and how to live in the world.

15、Do you think”Man proposes,God disposes.”?Why or why not?

There is a widespread proverb, \" Man Proposes, God Disposes\".which means that the planning lies with man , the outcome with Heaven . This proverb reflects a relation between success and luck , that is , we should always work hard in order to achieve our goal , though sometimes we may meet unexpected things .

Let me take English study for example . A student spends much time and energy on English , and he has good study habits . He is supposed to receive good grades in the examination . But suppose something unexpected , like illness , occurs , and his final score is far from ideal . Should he lose heart and become pessimistic ? Of course not . What he should do is just keep it up , and

next time luck will most probably favor him .

From my point of view , luck does influence or even dominate us sometimes , but in any case we are the master of our own fortune . It is up to ourselves whether we want to go ahead or backward . As long as you insist working hard , your effort will pay in the long run .
