When I was a child, my favourite action movies to watch were the ones which featured robots I had many robot toys when I was growing up, so to see them projected up on the big screen was always a treat for me In particular,
I would love to watch the spectacle of fight scenes between two giant robots clashing
Should we let a robot drive for us for long journeys?
I would never trust a car with an automatic driving feature I simply don’t believe that the technology is currently advanced enough to ensure that self-driving cars are completely safe I would always feel unsafe travelling in a self-driving car and so would prefer to avoid them wherever possible
Trang 5Personally, I would love to own a robot who could help me out with daily chores around the house Most days I find that I am extremely busy with my studies, so being able to have something like a robot vacuum cleaner which could ease some of the burden of having to clean would be incredibly helpful

A quiet place that I enjoy spending time in is the Donghu Park which is not too far from where I live This is another advantage as I do not have to travel far to see the lovely park Because of this I visit the park at least once a week
The Donghu Park was built many years ago, and it has always been one of the parks that locals often go to The park is large, with pavilions, promenades, meadows and several lakes On weekends, the park is very crowded Many families would have a picnic on its grass land There are also many tourists boating on the lake The park also has a long jogging path, and many nearby residents often jog in the park in the early morning and late afternoon
I like visiting the park because it is a place where I can get away from the crowds and hectic lifestyle of Guangzhou Donghu Park can be very busy, as it is a popular tourist attraction, but I know where there are quiet and serene areas Therefore, at the weekend, I love to go there for a jog to relieve myself of all my stresses I find
it is very enjoyable to be surrounded by beautiful nature In these quiet areas, I can often hear the birds singing and the wind rushing through the trees
Donghu Park is filled with my good memories, so I enjoy spending my leisure time there
中文思路：
我最喜欢待在的地方是我家附近的东湖公园，它离我住的地方不远。我不用走很远就可以看到这个公园，这是一个很大的优点。正因如此，我每周至少去一次。
东湖公园在很多年前就建造好了，它一直是我们当地人经常去的公园之一。公园很大，里面有亭子，长廊，草地还有几个湖。周末的时候公园人很多，很多家庭会去草地上野餐，也有很多游客在湖上划船。公园里还有长长的专用慢跑道路，每天清晨和傍晚的时候，很多附近的居民都会在公园里跑步。 我喜欢参观公园，因为它是一个让我可以远离人群和繁忙生活方式的地方。东湖公园可以很热闹，因为它是一个受欢迎的旅游景点，但我知道那里有安静和宁静的地区。因此，在周末，我喜欢去那里慢跑，以减轻我所有的压力。我发现被美丽的大自然包围是很愉快的。在这些安静的地方，我经常能听到鸟儿歌唱，风吹过树林。
东湖公园充满了我美好的回忆，所以我喜欢在休闲时候呆在那里。

Chengdu is my favorite city in our country It is located in the southwest of China In recent years, Chengdu has developed fast and become an internet-famous city in China If I can swing it, I would like to rent an apartment and find a stable job in Chengdu after graduation

I graduated from high school that I first went there Chengdu is famous for pandas and hotpot Hotpot, in particular, has become the symbol of Chengdu There may be more than one thousand hotpot restaurants in the city, which is a good indication of people's love for hot pot
There are many reasons why I want to live in Chengdu Copyright by anxiaoya First of all, Chengdu has a developed and prosperous city, full of opportunities But the people of Chengdu seem to live a much slower pace
well-of life People well-of Chengdu love many kinds well-of leisure activities, such as playing mahjong, raising pets, and dancing So, there won't be much of a culture of overtime in business and government Thus, there won't be too much pressure to work there Secondly, I am a foodie and crazy for the hotpot in Chengdu Every time I travel there, I would happily eat hotpot for seven days a week!

中文思路：
成都是我们国家里我最喜欢的城市。它位于中国的西南部。近年来，成都发展迅速，成为了国内的网红城市。如果可以的话，我想毕业后在成都租一套公寓，找一份稳定的工作。
我很小时候就在电视上看到过成都，直到高中毕业父母带我去成都旅行，我才第一次去那里。成都以大熊猫和火锅闻名。尤其是火锅，已经成为了成都的名片。在成都可能有超过一千家火锅店，这足以见得人们对火锅的喜爱。
我想住在成都的原因有很多。首先，成都是一个发展繁荣的城市，充满机遇。但是成都人的生活节奏非常慢。他们喜欢各种休闲娱乐活动，比如打麻将、养宠物、跳舞。因此，在政府和企业间都不会有太多的加班文化。因此，那里不会有太大的工作和生活压力。其次，我是一个吃货，非常喜欢吃成都的火锅。每次我去那里，我一周连吃七天吃火锅都不会觉得厌烦。
所以，我认为成都是一个很有活力的城市，充满了机遇和美物，非常适合年轻人居住。
Trang 194：学校/工作中的重要规定（新题）
Describe a rule that is important in your school or at work
You should say:
What the rule is about
What happens when people break the rule
Why you think it is an important rule
And explain how you feel about the rule
One of the rules I don't like about my school is that the school forces the dorm to cut off electricity and the Internet at 11pm, and the dorm doors will be locked too This means that after 11 o 'clock at night, if we are not back to the dormitory, we will be locked out, and after 11 o 'clock the dormitory will be dark and we can do nothing but sleep I believe the reason why they carry out this rule is to force students to form a regular routine But I think this is a very unreasonable rule I'm a late sleeper, and I get more energetic as the evening progresses Sometimes in order to prepare for the final exam, I would study late into the night, often the night before the exam But since the electricity was cut off in the dormitory, I had to buy a small lamp with batteries When the power is cut off, I read and do homework by a dim light which will have a bad effect for my eyes In addition, I often go shopping and have dinner downtown If I encounter a traffic jam or something else, I will have no access
to enter my dorm
I really hope the school can abolish this rule and give us students more freedom in life As a college student, we are already adults with independent consciousness and cognitive ability We should have the right to choose our own life and work
我不喜欢的一项学校规定就是学校强制宿舍在晚上 11 点的时候准时断电断网，宿舍门也会被锁起来。这意味着晚上11 点后，如果我们还没回到宿舍，我们将无家可归，同时 11 点后宿舍将变得漆黑一片，我们什么都做不了，只能睡觉。我相信这是学校为了让学生形成早睡早起的作息规律而实行的规定。 但我觉得这是一项非常不合理的规定。我是个夜猫子，越到晚上我就越精神。有时候为了准备期末考试，考试前的几晚我都会复习到深夜。但由于宿舍断电了，我只能买了个用电池的小台灯。宿舍断电后借着昏暗的灯光看书复习。这对我的眼睛伤害是很大的。另外，我还经常会去市区逛街吃东西。晚上万一遇见堵车或者其他意外的事情，回来晚了就完蛋了，过了11 点就没法上楼了。
我真的希望学校能废除该项规定，给予我们学生更多的生活自由。作为一个大学生，我们已经是成年人了，有着自主的意识和认知能力。我们应该有自主选择生活作息的权利。
Trang 205：感兴趣的科学领域（新题）
Describe an area of science (biology, robotics, etc.) that you are interested in and would like to learn more about You should say:
Which area it is
When and where you came to know this area
How you get information about this area
And explain why you are interested in this area
The science of psychology has always fascinated me, and I’ve been meaning to find time for its learning It’s been quite a while since I entered the workforce after graduation I’ve been very busy with work lately, and
it seems unlikely that I’ll make time to take courses I suppose I could just watch a few psychology-related video clips on the subway during my commute, or read some books on the subject at weekends Both would be very effective ways to learn something new
My actual plan is to grasp some basic concepts of psychology which may improve my people skills at work, so
I don’t think it’ll be too difficult a thing for me to learn After all, I’m not working for an M.A in psychology, nor will I engage in any related industries If I ever have any questions, it won’t be hard for me to find an answer with the help of search engines
I believe psychology is very helpful in today’s world Some elementary knowledge of it could be of great significance in the workplace, making it easier for me to handle my relations with clients and colleagues In a business negotiation, for example, I may work out how a client is feeling by studying his or her expressions and motions based on which I’ll decide what to say or do A sufficient understanding of the human mind will also increase my chances of enjoying office harmony
中文思路：
我一直以来都对心理学特别感兴趣，我以后想抽出时间来学习它。
毕业后，我已经工作了一段时间。现在我的工作很忙，所以我大概率抽不出时间去进行专业的学习。我想我可以在坐地铁通勤的时候看看有关心理学的短视频，亦或者在周末的空闲时间在家里阅读心理学相关的书籍。这都是很有效的学习方式。
事实上，我想学习的是心理学的一些基本知识，以便我在工作中更好的处理在人际关系。所以我认为这并不是一件困难的事情。毕竟我不是要攻读心理学的硕士，以后也不会从事相关的工作。如果我遇到了难懂的问题，搜索引擎将会是我的好帮手。
我认为在当今的社会里心理学是非常有用的一个学科。一些基本的心里学知识将在工作中发挥巨大的作用，帮助我更好的处理自己和客户或者同事之间的关系。比如在商务谈判中，我可以通过表情和动作判断客户的心理状态，及时调整谈判策略。适当的心里学知识也能让我与同事相处的更融洽。
Trang 216：糟糕服务（新题）
Describe a bad service you received in a restaurant/shop
You should say:
When and where it happened
What happened
How it was solved
And explain how you felt about the experience
A few weeks ago, I bought a dress online Then, I ran into some problems This made the shopping experience unpleasant for me
I had seen a similar style of dress at the mall before, only the brand at the mall was expensive I even asked the salesperson if there were some discounts The answer was no The next day, I was surprised to find the same style online, but it was only a third of the price of the mall I immediately placed an order for the dress on Taobao After I received it, I carefully looked at the dress and it was more or less the same as the one in the mall However,
I found some problems shortly afterwards After I washed it, the dress started to shrink and it became smaller than before And it no longer fits After a while, the fabric of the dress also started to become wrinkled All this made me very unhappy
I contacted the seller online and unfortunately, the seller did not admit his fault The owner told me that the problem was caused by my improper maintenance He said it was not a quality problem The clothes that have been worn cannot be returned or exchanged This made me very mad From this, I understand the truth that you get what you pay for Although the price of things online is good, the after-sales service is far worse than at the mall
中文思路：
几个星期前，我在网上买了一件衣服。然后，我遇到了一些问题。这使我觉得这次购物经历并不愉快。 之前我有在商场看到过类似款式的衣服，只不过商场的品牌价格昂贵。我甚至询问过售货员是否有一些折扣。答案是否定的。第二天，我惊喜的在网上发现了相同的款式，然而它的售价只有商场的三分之一。我立刻在淘宝网下单购买了这件衣服。
收到货之后，我认真观察了那件衣服，它大致和商场的没有区别。然而不久后我还是发现了一些问题。在我洗过之后，衣服开始缩水，它变得比以前小，这导致它不再合身。一段时间过后，这件衣服的面料也开始变得褶皱。这一切让我非常不满。
我联系了网上的卖家，遗憾的是卖家并不承认自己的过错。老板告诉我出现这样的问题是由于我保养不当造成的，并不是衣服有质量问题。已经穿过的衣服是不能退换的。这让我非常生气。这件事让我明白了一分钱一分货的道理。网上的东西虽然价格划算，但是售后服务是远远不如商场的。
Trang 227：电脑出问题（新题）
Describe a time when you had a problem with using the computer
You should say:
When it happened
Where it happened
What the problem was
And explain how you solved the problem at last
At the end of last semester, when I was preparing materials for my paper, my laptop suddenly broke down No matter how I clicked the mouse, the screen didn't respond In a hurry I had to reboot the system but it didn’t work Microsoft Word had crashed, and I couldn’t open any documents I felt a little anxious and worried that I would lose the paper I had written half of
Although I am not majoring in computer science, I have learnt how to use computers and have often played computer games since childhood The computer that I am using now is built by me, and I installed all of the software by myself too So, reinstalling the system and solving the computer lag is a piece of cake to me Then,
I reinstalled my computer and recovered back the documents quickly and perfectly
Although computer failure is not a common thing in daily life, I think it is very necessary to learn some basic knowledge of hardware and software Fixing a computer, like driving a car, is a practical skill After all, the computer is a necessity in everyone's life If it is not operated properly, you may lose some important documents
So, if we can solve some basic problems by ourselves, it definitely will save us time and money
中文思路：
上学期期末，当我正在为论文准备资料的时候，我的笔记本电脑突然死机了。不论我怎么点击鼠标，屏幕都没有反应。情急之下我只能强制重新启动。我以为这样就能解决。但重新打开电脑之后，WORD 软件坏掉了，我点开任何文件都会闪退。我感到很着急，担心自己写了一半的论文会因此丢失。 虽然我不是学计算机技术的，但是我从小就会用电脑，平常时常打游戏。我正在用的电脑也是我亲自买部件组装的。所以一般的重装系统和解决电脑卡顿对我来说都不在话下。生活中经常有朋友让我帮他修理电脑，这对我来说并不算什么难题。我很快重装了软件，文件也完好无损的保存了。问题完美的得到解决。
电脑坏掉这种事在生活中虽然不常发生，但我认为学习一些基本的软硬件知识是非常必要的。修电脑就像开汽车一样，都是很实用的技能。毕竟电脑是每个人生活中的必需品，一旦操作不当，可能会导致一些重要文件的丢失。一些小问题如果能够自己解决的话，很大程度上可以节约自己的时间和金钱。
Trang 238：感兴趣的历史时期（新题）
Describe a period in history which you are interested in
You should say:
when it was
what happened
how you first heard about it
and explain why you are interested in this period of history
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a very famous novel in China I first read it when I was still in elementary
school Since all its wars and friendships were set in the Three Kingdoms period, it explains my desire to know more about that chapter in history
The masterpiece captivates readers with its colorful characters and legendary events I was impressed by the brotherhood among Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but even more so by the resourcefulness of Zhuge Liang
As a matter of fact, this literature is the only reason I became interested in its historical setting
From what I read, the Three Kingdoms period was an era of never-ending conflicts The nation was divided into three states, Wei, Shu and Wu They fought with each other constantly until Wei won out and united the country The book described in great detail what unfolded on and off the battlefields As a child, I always thought it was
a full and honest account of the past But I discovered later that the history as the author told it had in fact not been entirely true Zhuge Liang, for example, was more adept at managing internal affairs than conducting warfare Also, since the work was written from Shu’s perspective, all the personalities of that kingdom were portrayed in a more positive light than they deserved As a result, I would like to find out the real stories of those days and see the historical figures (Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei included,) as the flesh and blood they were
中文思路：
《三国演义》是中国非常著名的一本小说，我在小学的时候就看过这本书。这部小说描述了三国时期的战争与友情。因此，三国时期是我想了解更多的一段历史。
我对三国时期产生兴趣完全是因为这本小说，书里的人物性格和历史事件非常吸引人。刘备关羽张飞三人之间真挚的友谊令我感动，诸葛亮的足智多谋更是令我钦佩不已。
我印象中的三国时期是一个战争连绵的时代。当时天下被分为三部分，魏蜀吴三个国家不断地在打仗。最后魏国获得胜利，统一了全国。
小时候，我一直以为《三国演义》完整地阐述了历史，因为书里描述的历史事件和战争非常详细。但长大后我才发现，原来真正的三国时期并不完全跟小说一致。比如诸葛亮其实并不擅长打仗，他更擅长的是管理内政。同时，这本小说是以蜀国的角度写的，蜀国的人物都是非常积极正面的。但事实上似乎并非如此。所以我想了解这段时期真正的历史，去了解这些诸葛亮，刘备实际上是怎么样的一个人。
Trang 249：钦佩的运动员（新题）
Describe a sportsperson you admire
You should say:
Who he/she is
What you know about him/her
What he/she is like in real life
What achievement he/she has made
And explain why you admire him/her
The athlete I want to talk about is Su Bingtian He is the most famous sprinter in our country after Liu Xiang
Su set a record of 9.83 seconds in the 100-meter race at the Tokyo Olympics It is the best record which has been achieved by a Chinese, or Asian race, in any international competitions I still remember that day when Su attended the 100-meters Olympic Games, my family and I were all cheering for him, even my old grandpa joined
in We shouted out when he started to run and became insane when he broke the record What an impressive and memorable moment it was! Nearly all the social media were promoting Su's achievements Although he did not win the Olympic gold medal, he won the respect and admiration of all Chinese people and even the world
Su Bingtian is also famous for his inspirational story He is not tall, only about 1.7 meters, which means his athletic talent is obviously much poorer than that of the other players all over the world But Su focused on improving his competitive level and has been training diligently for a decade Finally he made great and unbelievable achievements Su Bingtian deserves our respect for his humble but inspiring history of struggle 中文思路：
我想说的运动员就是苏炳添，他是继刘翔之后，我们国家最著名的短跑运动员了。
在东京奥运会上，苏以 9 秒 83 的成绩创造了 100 米的世界纪录。这是中国黄种人在国际比赛中取得的最好成绩。我仍然记得苏炳添参加 100 米奥运会的那天，我和我的家人都在为他加油，甚至我的老爷爷也加入了。当他开始跑的时候，我们都开始呐喊加油！当他打破记录的时候，我们都疯了。这是多么令人印象深刻和难忘的时刻啊!几乎所有的社交媒体都在宣传苏的成就。虽然他没有赢得奥运金牌，但他赢得了全中国人民甚至全世界的尊敬和钦佩。
苏炳添之所以这么著名也是因为他的励志故事。他身材不高，大概只有1 米 7，运动天赋明显比身高马大的欧美和非洲选手差很多。但苏炳添非常专注于提高竞技水平，十年如一日地勤奋训练。终于在大家都不看好的情况下脱颖而出，取得了骄傲的成绩。平凡而又励志的奋斗史是真正令人敬佩的，苏炳添值得我们尊敬。

周杰伦一出场，现场就沸腾了！观众都在喊周杰伦的名字，我们几乎都听不见对方的声音。但他一开始唱歌，现场就突然安静了下来。杰伦唱起了哪些我耳熟能详的歌曲，比如《青花瓷》《千里之外》。现场的音效特别好，我们听得如痴如醉。最后杰伦还表演了他的拿手好戏，一边弹钢琴一边唱歌，他真的是太帅了！能够亲眼见到我的偶像，并且听他唱歌，这一切实在是令人感到美好又兴奋！
杰伦的歌陪伴了我们这一代人一起长大，我非常开心能现场听他的演唱会。这是一次难以忘怀的经历，
我和Lucy 都约好了下次还要在听一次他的演唱会！

几个星期前，我的一个朋友问我一些建议。他要和一个美术课上认识的女孩第一次约会。在约会之前，他想知道我是否知道有什么好餐馆可以推荐给他们去。他真的很喜欢这个女孩，想给她留下一个好的第一印象，所以我想给他一些很好的建议。
我劝他带她去大董烤鸭店。这是一家位于北京市中心的高档餐厅，供应现代优雅的食物。他认为这是一个聪明的建议，决定带她去那里。约会的第二天，他打电话给我，告诉我进展如何，并告诉我他们度过了一个美好的夜晚，我推荐的那家餐馆棒极了。他们已经安排了第二次约会，所以我给他的建议非常有效。
我感到非常自豪，我能在我的朋友需要的时候给他提供好的建议和帮助。通常一个人很难做出好的决定。所以，有能够帮助你的朋友是很重要的。幸运的是，如果我需要建议，我相信我的朋友也会为我做同样的事情。

There are always some wonderful encounters in life that will bring me many surprises I can still remember very clearly that I surprisingly met my junior high school classmate Lucy last summer vacation
At that time, my good friend Anna celebrated her 20th birthday and invited me to her birthday party She invited
a lot of other friends to a very crowded but nice KTV I have to say it was a little bit dark there and I couldn’t see others very clearly at first When I was singing happily on the stage, I noticed that there was a girl who was chatting with others on the sofa She looked very familiar but I couldn’t remember her name at that moment After singing the song, I immediately wanted to go closer to have a look Unexpectedly, Lucy recognized me at once and greeted me happily I was over the moon when I found out it was really my classmate Lucy! Lucy was one of my best friends in junior high school, but it had been so long after graduation and we had lost contact with each other
I never expected that we would both know Anna and meet each other at a party Although I hadn't seen her for many years, Lucy was still talkative and cheerful We shared our current life with each other and added each other on WeChat

生活中总有些奇妙的相遇，会带给我很多惊喜。我至今都记得非常清楚，去年暑假我意外地撞见了我的初中同学Lucy。
那时候，我的好朋友anna 准备过 20 岁生日，邀请我去参加她的生日聚会。她邀请了很多朋友，然后约在了一个热闹的但还挺不错的 KTV 聚会。我不得不说房间里面有点暗，我并没看清楚其他人都是谁。当我正在舞台上开心的唱歌时，我发现沙发上有个正在和别人聊天的女孩子很面熟，她非常像我的初中同学Lucy。
唱完歌我立刻想走进店看个清楚。没想到 lucy 一眼认出了我，她开心的给我打招呼。发现真的是她我激动的跳了起来。Lucy 是我在初中关系最好的朋友之一，只是毕业的时间太久，我们彼此断了联系。万万没想到我们竟然都认识anna，并且在她的生日聚会上遇见了。虽然很多年没见了，但 Lucy 依然是那么健谈和开朗。我们互相分享了现在的生活，并互加了微信。

Describe a good advertisement that you think is useful
You should say:
Where you can see it
What it shows
Why you think it is useful
And explain how you feel about it
When it comes to advertisements, I would like to talk about the public service adverts about drunk driving Drunk driving is a terrible thing which has huge impacts on a community It is very dangerous and people may needlessly lose their lives because of drunk driving Therefore, drunk driving is very important thing to prevent So, recently
my local government released a series of effective adverts to tackle the issue and they were very memorable They were played on major television stations and also on social media websites such as Weibo The adverts were full of facts and statistics relating to the dangers of drunk driving I think knowledge of the risks of drunk driving is the best deterrent（威慑力）
The adverts were very chilling and serious They showed how dangerous and how harmful drunk driving can be
I think this is what made them so memorable They were very emotional adverts, they showed families who had lost children to drunk driving They showed people who had been hit by drunk drivers, and drivers who died in crashes whilst under the influence of alcohol Even though all the people in the adverts were actors, the adverts were still shocking and very convincing They were really effective and shortly after the advertisement campaign
（活动）, people were driving a lot slower and there were less incidents of drunk driving according to the daily news I think I will remember these adverts for the rest of my life and never drive under the influence of alcohol Therefore, they must be very memorable and effective advertisements
中文翻译：
说到广告，我想谈谈有关醉酒驾驶的公益广告。醉酒驾驶是一件可怕的事情，它对一个社区有巨大的影响。这是非常危险的，人们可能因为酒后驾驶失去他们的生命。因此，预防酒后驾驶是非常重要的。所以，最近我的地方政府发布了一系列有效的广告来解决这个问题，他们是非常难忘的。这些广告在各大电视台以及微博等社交媒体网站上播放。广告中充满了有关酒后驾驶危险的事实和统计数字。我认为了解酒后驾驶的风险是最好的威慑。这些广告非常令人恐惧和严肃。他们展示了酒后驾驶的危险性和危害性。我想这就是他们如此难忘的原因。
这是非常感人的广告，展示了因酒后驾车而失去孩子的家庭。他们展示了被醉酒司机撞到的人，以及在醉酒状态下死于车祸的司机。尽管广告中的所有人都是演员，但广告仍然令人震惊，非常有说服力。他们真的很有效，在广告活动后不久。据《每日新闻》报道，人们开车的速度要慢得多，酒后驾车的事件也少了。我想我的余生都会记住这些广告，永远不会酒后驾车。因此，他们必须是非常难忘和有效的广告。

Describe a photo that makes you feel happy
You should say:
When and where you took the photo

How often you watch the photo
And explain why it makes you feel happy
I have a picture in my bedroom of my whole family It was taken 2 years ago, when we all went on a family holiday to Beijing, in China I have a lot of fond memories of that holiday Beijing is a city that’s full of history, and when I went there with my family, we tried to visit a lot of famous historical places It meant that the holiday was great for relaxing, but was also really interesting from start to finish It’s funny, because you might assume the special picture I keep in my room would have been taken in front of the Forbidden City, the National Museum,
or any of the many famous landmarks in Beijing; but actually, it was taken on sunset right outside a small noodle shop The background isn’t beautiful – a small run-down restaurant with a neon sign – but all of us a smiling and laughing I don’t have a lot of pictures of us all together, and those that I do have are quite formal, so it’s just great to have one picture where we are all so happy
I keep it pinned to my wall behind my desk because every time I look at that picture it makes me remember the good times I had with my family No matter how down I’m feeling, I can’t help but smile when I look at the picture, so it’s super helpful when I’m stressed at school
中文思路：
我卧室里有一张全家福的照片。那是两年前我们全家去北京度假时拍的。那个假期期间，我有很多美好的回忆。北京是一个充满历史气息的城市，当我和我的家人去那里的时候，我们试着参观了很多著名的历史古迹。这意味着这个假期很放松，但从开始到结束也让我感到很有趣。有趣的一点在于，因为你可能会认为我放在房间里的这张特别的照片是在故宫、国家博物馆或北京许多著名地标前拍的；但实际上，这张照片拍摄于日落时分，就在一家小面馆外面。背景并不漂亮——一家霓虹灯招牌的破旧小餐馆——但我们都很开心，都笑了。我有很多非常正式的照片，但我没有很多我和家人在一起的照片，所以能有一张开心的合照真是太好了。
我把它钉在桌子后面的墙上，因为每次我看到那张照片，它都会让我想起我和家人一起度过的美好时光。无论我心情如何低落，当我看到这张照片的时候，我都忍不住会笑起来，所以当我在学校压力很大的时候，这是非常减压的。

During the last summer, I worked at a Starbucks as a barista There was a man I worked with named Alex and I thought he had some very interesting ideas Alex was a student in Beijing where he studied photography and contemporary art（当代艺术） When we were at work together, we often discussed his ideas about art and photography because I found his opinions to be very interesting and uncommon
Alex spends most of his free time exploring the city we live in and taking photographs of things that he thinks are worth picturing He loves big urban cities and spends a lot of his time taking photographs of things that other people find ugly He takes photographs of big skyscrapers, traffic jams and grey streets It is very unusual because most photographers take pictures of grand natural landscapes or beautiful animals and it is easy to explain why these things are beautiful When we are at work, he explains to me his ideas and opinions He says he wants to take some pictures of the real world, because he thinks that people who live in cities are unhappy Crowded subways, dirty streets and high-rise buildings can reflect people's depressed and unhappy state of mind This is what I find so interesting about him, because what he considers worth picturing is very different from most people So, life is far more interesting when you know people who have unusual opinions and strange ideas 中文翻译：
去年夏天，我在星巴克兼职做咖啡师。我和一个叫亚历克斯的人一起工作，我认为他有一些非常有趣的想法。亚历克斯是一名学生,他在北京学习摄影和当代艺术。当我们一起工作的时候，他经常和我讨论关于艺术和摄影的想法，因为我发现他的观点非常有趣和不寻常。
亚历克斯的大部分空闲时间都用来探寻我们居住的城市，并拍摄他认为值得拍摄的照片。他喜欢大城市，花很多时间给别人觉得丑的东西拍照。他摩天大楼、交通堵塞和灰色街道的照片。这是非常少见的，因为大多数摄影师都会拍摄宏伟的自然景观或美丽的动物，而且图片的美丽是显而易见的。当我们上班的时候，他向我解释他的想法和观点。他说他想拍一些世界的真实样子，因为他认为生活在城市的人都不快乐。拥挤的地铁，肮脏的街道和高层建筑可以反映出人们的沮丧和不快乐的心态。这就是我觉得他很有趣的地方，因为他认为值得画的东西和大多数人都不一样。所以，当你认识那些有着不同寻常的观点和奇怪想法的人的时候，生活会变得有趣得多。
Trang 3722：工作/学习的困难任务（新题）
Describe a difficult task that you completed at work/study that you felt proud of
You should say:
What the task was
How you completed it
Why the task was difficult
Why you were proud of the completion of the task
When it comes to describing a time I was very excited, I would like to talk about the first-class scholarship of our university which I earned last year
Last year I tried to win the first-class scholarship It is based on the academic performance of each semester, and the students whose average score are in the top ten of the whole grade are awarded a scholarship of 2,000 yuan
If I win the scholarship, I can travel to other cities and eat delicious food during the winter vacation
It is an arduous process to earn the scholarship I devoted myself to studying and trying to get better scores in every examination Until one day at noon, when I was having dinner in my dormitory, my roommate Lucy told
me that the scholarship list had been announced and I made it! I couldn't believe it was truth!
This scholarship makes me very excited and satisfied It means my whole year’s effort was paid back I shared the good news with my family and friends and they all envied me very much My parents also said that they were proud of me The praise from friends and parents made me feel that my efforts were rewarding I love the feeling
of winning awards and will continue to concentrate on study this year I hope I can earn scholarships again 中文思路：
谈到兴奋的时刻，我想谈谈我获得奖学金的事，这足以让我开心了好久。去年，我试图获得我们学校的一等奖学金。一等奖学金以每学期的学习成绩为基础，平均在年级前十的学生可获得 5000 元的奖学金。这对一个学生来说是一大笔钱！！如果我能获得奖学金，我可以在寒假去其他城市旅游，吃美味的食物。
我为此努力准备了很久，包括期末考试和平时的社团活动。直到一天中午，我正在宿舍吃饭，我的室
友lucy 告诉我奖学金名单公布了，里面有我。我简直不敢相信，兴奋的在宿舍手舞足蹈起来。
这份奖学金让我感到非常兴奋和满足，不仅因为这笔钱可以买很多我喜欢的东西，还是对我这一年努力的肯定。兴奋之余，我把这个好消息分享给了我的家人和朋友，朋友知道了都非常羡慕我，爸爸妈妈也说以我为骄傲，朋友和亲人的赞美都让我觉得我的努力没有白费。我想今年我会继续努力的，我很喜欢得奖的感觉，我希望能继续获得奖学金。
