They have taken special ways to show their personalities. For example, some college students who are tattooed think tattooing is cool and shows great personality.But teachers and parents do not think tattooing is right for students. They believe to be a student you should dress like a student-no tattoos, of cause. Some people even believe that those who are tattooed are not good students.As far as I am concerned, although many people can not accept students tattooing, nothing is wrong with tattooing. College students are grown-ups. They can tell right from wrong. If they want to be tattooed, just remember to tell them to select clean places, preferably with parental consents.3.What do cultural difference mean ? Can you give some examples?Cultural differences mean differences among people in ways of thinking, life, aesthetic concepts, social practices, diet and etc.    Lets talk about, for example, eating habits in different areas. In China, people prefer vegetables and fruits, for the Chinese believe that such things are rich in vc, which are good to health. However, western people are more likely to eat meat. Known as having a good tradition of hospitality , Chinese people always greet their guests with warm hand. Chinese meal table normally is filled with delicious food, yet the host is used to saying " I am sorry. I dont think the food is good enough today" and other courtesies. Host or hostess sometimes use their chopsticks to take food to the guests bowl, which is considered as a way to show hospitality in China. However, in western countries, people emphasize respect to individuality. At dinner, people eat whatever they like or we say they eat at their own will.4.Do you consider your 18th birthday is one of the most important days in your life? Give reasons.Yes, 18th birthday is considered the most important. Each birthday means a new year. I am most concerned about my 18th birthday as it is a sign of adulthood, indicating that I am no longer a child, but one who can try to do things independently and should be reliable for his or her own actions as an adult. Since my eighteenth birthday, I am entitled to go shopping alone, to travel alone and to live independently. I still remembered my 18th birthday. After my birthday celebration, I suddenly felt grown up, both physically and mentally. Birthday to me is an important turning point, enabling me to learn and think independently. So far as I am concerned about each birthday, I usually feel better.5. Is money the most important thing in your life ? If not, what is it? No, money is not the most important thing in my life. I think the most important thing in life is love. First, everything is born of love. When a child is born, his parents give him or her lots of love in creating a healthy environment for him or her. Secondly, what society needs is also love, if there is no love among members in society, it will become listless apathy. Third, though money can buy something, it can not give or buy love. Love yourself and you get respect from others. Give your love and you create a harmonious surroundings for the society. Finally, everyone knows that friendship is built on love instead of money. Money cant support ever-lasting friendship.6. In what places has smoking already been banned in China? Are you in favor of this policy or not?Nowadays in China, smoking is banned in many public places, such as cinemas, threators , supermarkets, hospitals, meeting rooms and so on.As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in favor of this policy. First of all, smoking is bad for health. And in public places it often leads to second-hand smoking, which is bad for the smoker as well as people around. Second, if you are talking with a person while you are smoking, what will happen? He or she will consider the necessity of whether to go on talking or not, because your behavior shows that you dont care much about what you are talking. Smoking makes you lose friends. Third, smoking costs lots of money, which will result in quarrels and tight budget at home. Thats not good for building up of a harmonious society. Thus, I am strongly in favor of this policy. 7.Why do some young people pick up smoking.Personally, I think there are three reasons for young people picking up smoking. First, they want to follow the trend, to be in the crowd. Most of the young people dont know what they should do. They just do what their peers do. Second, some youths want to show their identity, to attract attention of their peers and their parents, to show that they are not little children any more. They are already in their adulthood. They want to tell their parents they want to do things adults do. Third, for some young people, smoking is considered as a way to relax and get rid of bad feelings from work or family. They enjoy the process of smoking. Smoking helps them forget unhappy incidents.8.What problems may people have as they grow old?Have you ever thought what you will look like when you are old? People face more and more problem as they grow old, especially old people living in country. In countryside most old people live with their children.Since they do not have pension themselves, most of them could not enjoy good health-care and get social welfare. For people living in cities, most of them don't live with their children, they normally live by themselves, feeling lonely as their children are busy working. They haven't enough time to take good care of their parents .They visit their parents or parent once a week or once a month. They could not offer good care to their parentsGenerally speaking, old people, no matter where they live, they are faced with lots of problems .The government and people should help them to solve the problems and live a happy life. 9. What is addiction? What harm can addiction to internet do to college students?Addiction, according to a dictionary, means that development of habitual inclination. No one knows what causes a person to be addicted to the Internet, but there are several factors that have been proposed as contributing to Internet addiction.With the development of computer technology, there is a growing popularity of Internet surfing on college campus. Many students are addicted to Internet .They spend much time on computer games, chatting with friends, watching movies or shopping online. Too much time online is not good, even harmful to students health, which would induce them to spend money that they should spend on food and less sleep. To solve they problem, students should be cautious in exploring the types of application on Internet. In addition, it is important for students to engage in social activities outside. Finally, mental health workers should investigate ways in which to help students get rid of the bad habit of being an addict.10 .Which place is better for people to accept education, at home or at school?I prefer to learn at school. First of all, I think school has learning environment. If all the students around you are busy, you could not help joining the group. Second, at school , students discuss problems they do not understand and learn from each other. And at school, if I have problems I can not solve I can turn to teachers for help or conduct research in the library. Third, learning at school follows strict schedules, students can learn step by step so that to gain a reasonable understanding of subjects they are supposed to learn. Fourth, There are many peers in school, we will not feel lonely, and learning from each other you can improve your interpersonal skills. Last but not the least, activities held at school help us develop a sense of self-confidence. All in all, learning at school is preferrable for me. I like my schoolmates and teachers. 11. Are there any episodes in your life that make you feel happy and excited ,or disappointed and depressed? Everyone expriences so many episodes in ones life including moments of happiness and excitements, disappointments and depression, so do I. Now I will share one moment of disappointment and depression with you. The story begins like this: when I was in Grade 2 in my high school, my teacher asked us to prepare a speech about anything that we want to talk about. Although I thought I had prepared so well, I still felt a bit nervous .And whats worse ,I decided to add some body language to my speech, which I thought would be helfpful. When I got on the platform of the classroom, I started , “You ,you and you, get together!” Ok, this is how I started. I thought it must have impressed my class deeply. On the contrary, I heard hundreds of ” oh , no , no” with thousands of laughters. And that is really quite bad. I even didnt know what had happened after that. Although I continued the speech, yet, from then on I lost confidence in my ability of speech. How I felt disappointed and depressed in front of all my classmates!12. What is more important , economic growth or the environment? Why?        Some people believe that economic growth should never be at the  cost of the environment. They think serious environmental problems nowadays are largely caused by rapid economic growth . For example, deserts are spreading, because of over grazing, poor farming and tree cutting. Our air and water supplies are also being polluted by poisonous gases and waste.      However, other people think it unnecessary to take environmental problems now into serious consideration, for our priority should go to economic growth. They believe that environmental problems are unavoidable in the process of economic growth. They are the by-products of economic growth, which can be dealt with later.       I think the second idea is completely wrong. We should keep a balance between the two and look forward to rapid and continuous growth in economy and a healthy environment as well. 13Your ideas on college students pursuing fashion. Nowadays, an increasing number of college students are pursuing fashion, which has aroused a great concern in society. Some, even at the beginning of their college life, begin to make every effort to buy a variety of famous-brand products, such as clothing, computers, cellphones, MP3s and so on. Some take part in different kinds of popular entertainment, for example, birthday party, playing tennis and singing in KTV. Following fashion has had a great impact on college students. First of all, pursuit of fashion is a costly hobby, which will impose great financial burden on their parents. In addtion, it is possible for college students to get lost in following the tide. Some of them even fail to focus on their study. Last but not the least, as the future leading consumers, some students pay more attention to enjoying fashion. As far as I am concerned, college students should cherish ambitions rather than become slaves to fashion, as our main task on campus is not to pursue fashion but study. All in all, college students should adopt a more reasonable attitude towards fashion.14.How can we prepare for earthquakes?Make sure shelves are fastened（使固定） securely to the walls. Place large, heavy objects on lower shelves （架子）or on the floor. They might fall. You can also screw them onto things, such as desks. Place breakable items (bottles, glass, china, etc.) in closed cabinets that have latches. Make sure to board them up so that the cabinet doors won't fly open. Heavy pictures （绘画作品）and mirrors should be hung away from beds, couches, and anywhere that someone might sit. Overhead light fixture 'fikst. 固定装置 should be braced braced breist to prevent falling. Evaluate your electrical wiring and gas connections and repair if needed. During an earthquake, these can become potential fire hazards. Additionally, turn them off and unplug them, so the outlet is not neat the metal part of the cord. Secure your water heater by strapping it to wall studs (not just the drywall) and bolting it to the floor. If you have any deep cracks in the ceiling or foundations, repair these immediately. You might need to consult an expert if there are signs of structural weakness. Store flammable products in closed cabinets with latches on the bottom shelf15. Talk about one of the world-famous people that you consider you role model. When talking about role model,you may think of the stars, like Liu Dehua,Cheng Long or even Yao Ming and LiXiang.But my role model is quite different from them. It's Lei Feng. In China, everybody knows about Lei Fei. He was a soldier in the army and was always ready to help others. He was a great man with good qualitie. He cared much more about others than himself. He helped his colleagues with their work, helped the grannies to carry their children. He kept a diary. In it he wrote: "Man's life is limited, but serving people is unlimited.I should devote my limited life to the serving of people". Unfortunately , he died at work when he was still young. But his spirit has influenced many people, especially teenagers. People throughout China learnt from him .They do as Lei Feng did, helping and caring for others.The slogan “ Let Lei Feng be our example” has been in our mind for years. We know our society needs such a spirit and thousands of millions of Lei Feng. Though Lei Feng passed away for many years, his spirits are still alive . He made me know that helping and caring others is of great importance . I should learn from him and show my love and care to the people in need. 16.Your ideas on the legal or moral implications of cloning for human society . My point of view on cloning is that it is like a double-edged sword. Either on the legal or on the moral implications, cloning is a controversial topic. I personally hold the idea that it is illegal and not morallly right to clone people. When it is necessary to clone parts of organs for medical treatments, cloning is obviously a wise way. In that case, cloning makes human's life much better and happier. I
