1. Some people prefer to buy high-tech products as soon as they are introduced to the market, while others prefer to wait for some time to get them. Which do you prefer?

Answer：

I prefer to buy my high-tech products long after they’re first introduced for the following reasons. First, products like cellphones and computers are usually very expensive when they are first introduced to the market. When iPhone first came out, the price was really high. But it was only about three months later that Apple cut the price by $200. Not buying these products too soon can save us lots of money. Second, the first batch of products can be flawed. It’s wise to wait for reviews to come out, so we can find out if they work as advertised. If there are problems, companies will iron out these glitches and make them better pretty quickly.

2. Some students like to attend big clasees that have a lot of people studying together, while others like to attend small classes with limited numbers of students. Which do you prefer and why?

Answer：

I personally prefer to study in a smaller class for the following reasons. First, I can get more attention from the teacher in a small class. It’s easier to interact with the teacher when I have questions. I’ll just raise my hand and ask that question. But in a big class, I’ll have to ask until the class is over. Second, in a smaller class, students can have more in- class discussions with people they are familiar with, which is one of the best ways of learning. During the discussion, we can exchange ideas and opinions, after which we can have a better understanding of the knowledge. So we can also learn more from a smaller class.

3. Some people prefer to work at a small company or organization with only a few coworkers. Others prefer to work at a large company on organization where there are thousands of employees. Which would you prefer? Explain why.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is important to allow children to ues computers and other electronic devieces as early as possible. Use detalisl and examples to explain your opinion.

8. Some people prefer a job which deals with the same task routinely, while others prefer a job that deals with many different tasks. Which do you prefer and why?

9.Some university students believe that they should participate in projects that help the local community. Other students think it is better to focus only on their schoolwork. Which view do you agree with? Explain why using specific examples and details.
