traditional Chinese art or craft. Paper-cutting

a.       It’s a kind of traditional Chinese art that requires lots
of patience. You know, the best paper-cutting are always made of the most
delicate paper. If you are not patient enough, the paper will be broken and all
your effort will be in vain. So if you practice paper-cutting, it will also
give you a chance to practice your patience.

b.      
Paper-cutting represents
the advent of New Year. When the New Year Eve is coming, many artists or even
common people will make many paper-cutting artifacts with sophisticated design
and beautiful pattern to celebrate the new year. I really love it.

(19) Describe your favorite
newspaper. China

It’s the most popular newspaper among university students
in China.

a.  Firstly, it can keep me informed of the latest news of
the world, such as economic news, cultural news, other anecdotes and
entertaining news about movie stars and singers.

lot through reading this newspaper. Each time I read it, I can learn many
useful expressions and I also can learn how to write English effectively. It
improves my command of English a lot.

(20) Describe your favorite magazine.
Economist

a. First of all, this magazine can keep me informed of the
latest news in the world. It covers nearly every field, from economy to
politics, from culture to science. I can learn much useful knowledge from this
magazine.

b.     
Secondly, I can learn many
helpful English expressions from the book. Although the language used in the
magazine is a little bit difficult and it really takes me lots of time to read through
one article, it does help me a lot. I’ve read this magazine for over one year
and it really benefits me a lot.

(21) Describe your favorite book.
Encyclopedia. 见上

and explain why you like it. Google

search engines. I can get whatever information I’m looking for in a very short
period of time. It saves me lots of time and energy. For example, if I want to
know something about Mozart, I only need to type his name in the blank and it
will give me the answer I need very quickly, much quicker and more efficient
than other research engines.

c.   
Google also provides me
with other useful functions. For example, as far as I am concerned, Gmail
provides the best email service. There is never a spam in the mailbox. Google
also has its own picture management tool Picasso. It makes managing pictures
much easier.

impressed you the most?

Well, to me, the most impressive celebration
is the celebration for Chinese New Year Festival. It is a great time for the
Chinese people to gather together and welcome a new year.

something meaningful and interesting to enrich their lives.

playing violin, guitar, piano. People who are interested in computers can learn

 how to use photoshop, or learn some computer
languages. This will be beneficial for them in their future

 career planning.

c.       Students could choose to travel to other cities or
countries. Know more about other cultures and customs. This could broaden their
horizon and enrich their minds. For example, they could go to Beijing
and visit the Summer Palace, Forbidden City,

What is the character of a good teacher?

    Well，to me, a good teacher should bear the
following characters:

patient. Different students have different learning abilities. A good

  teacher should be patient enough to help
those slow learners to catch up with other students.
b.  Secondly, a good teacher should be
kind. A good teacher should not scold students when they make

 mistakes in class. In that way, students are
more likely to take active part in the class discussion and

they are more willing to ask questions when they have
some problems.
c.  Thirdly, a good teacher should be
responsible. That is a good teacher bears the responsibility of

taking good care of his or her students in school both at
study and lives.

a leader have?

very arrogant, it will cause the aversion from the subordinates. A good leader
should respect their work.
Secondly, a leader should have good interpersonal skills. He should know quite
well how to communicate with the subordinates and how to encourage them when
they are frustrated.

Finally, a leader should have impressive
professional knowledge. As a leader should decide where the company should go,
he should know quite well about the business he is undertaking.

from the literature, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark
Twin. I really enjoy listening to these interesting episodes. It’s a great
pleasure as well as relaxation.

b.     
Secondly, literature is quite useful for molding my way of thinking.
I always believes that literature has a strong power to molding our ways of
thinking because by reading the thoughts of writers, readers are actually
having a conversation with the writers, in which writers express their view of
the world to the readers.
