We learn from the teachers, who are both professional, highly-trained and experienced. Even though we interact and cooperate with our classmates sometimes, they are not essential. Think about all those private tuition. It works well!Question 13:What is the most important quality of a teacher?Useful Phrases:patient耐心的knowledgeable学识渊博的caring关爱的considerate 体贴的observant善于观察的Sample answer:If I can only choose one, then it must be being patient. Teaching is not just about passing knowledge to others like passing a pen or a glass. It's about helping the students understand and remember stuff. Since the process can be quite boring and repetitive, the teachers must be patient.Question 14:Are there anything you wish you school to improve?Useful Phrases:cafeteria 食堂gym体育馆outdated过时的shabby破破烂烂的，破败的equipment设备，设施Sample answer:I would love my school to renovate the cafeteria. The food is great, but the place looks shabby and dark. I don't feel like having my meals there every day. It's just a little bit depressing. Everybody uses it every day, so some redevelopment is truly necessary.Question 15:What kind of things could help you to study better?r m going to talk about the postcard I bought when I travelled to Xiamen, which is an attractive coastal city.Every time I visited a city, I will buy several postcards to send to my parents and friends. As for me, postcards are the most unique among all sorts of souvenirs for tourists. This is largely because I believe those cards help to create connections to places and people in a special way.These days, museums, trendy cafes and souvenir stores all offer postcards, frequently depicting the city or place you're visiting, but also with fun messages or philosophical thoughts. When you receive a hand-selected photo with personal notes from the other side of the world, or when you find an old postcard, there's something exhilarating and exciting about a reminder from the past.Normally, the average price of a postcard is about 1 or 2 dollars, depending on how close you are to those scenic spots. The one I bought was in a small booth around a historical monument. What attracted me most was that you can personalize any ready-made designs or create your unique postcard. So I paid five times more than the regular price to create my own style of postcard to send to my friend, Doris. When I got back home, Doris told me she was impressed by the special postcard. However; she was flabbergasted at the price I paid for it because there are plenty of print-on-demand apps to customize the postcard simply and cheaply. You just look for the template you like, then upload photos directly from Instagram or other social media to create your own designs easily. You can add some emoji, text and even background in a few clicks at home. Well, what Doris told me really ruined my day and I wished I didn, t know that.Part 3Question 1: Do you often buy more than you expected?解题思路：可以从内在和外在两个方面进行内容扩展：内在可以说选择恐惧症，外在可以从商家的销售策略说起Sample Answer:Absolutely, I suppose it has something to do with my own desire. Well, I wouldn* t say r m a shopaholic, but I do have problem to choose between two products, which will normally end up with buying both of them. What make it worse is that shopping malls nowadays apply quite a lot psychology in marketing. For instance, they prefer cross-selling, which becomes easier for them to target customers1 needs and suggest them to purchase some unnecessary items. Plus, those shopping centers can also increase sales by providing coupons, so in the end the more you pay, the more you save when using those coupons, which will definitely make you stock up more than you expected.Question 2: What do you think young people spend most of their money on?解题思路：对于what这一类列举型的问题，需要给出2-3种不同种类年轻人喜欢沟通买的东西Sample Answer:For me, young people usually spend most of their money on clothing and footwear, simply because they want to dress nicely to attract attention. I mean, they want to be like a celebrity, so they often wear expensive clothes which have great style and name brands. If they want to keep up with the fashion trend, more money will be spent. Money is also spent on entertainment, such as playing video games or going to a club. These days, teenagers can throw away a large sum of money on buying supplies and equipments in games.Question 3: Do you think it is important to save money? Why?解题思路：如果可以想到2-3个存款的好处或者理由，那么就直接扩展表达即可，但如果观点有限的话，可以采用对 比的方式来扩展回答，比方“如果不存钱就会.”Sample Answer:Of course, saving money as an emergency fund is definitely important because it helps to protect you in a financial crisis or an unexpected incidence such as the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. This will offer you a greater sense of security. Additionally, it can help you pay for large purchases in the long run, or avoid debt and reduce your financial stress, which will both benefit you in future.Question 4: Do people buy things they don' t need?解题思路：可以从"会"和"不会"两个方向一起来扩展，不过需要先选择一方给出理由Sample Answer:Actually, it really depends on what kind of customer you are. if you are budget-conscious, you will probably only buy the daily necessities, such as food, clothing and fresh water. But I don't think anyone will go to the store with the intention to buy something that they will never going to use in the near future, unless they are persuaded to do so. There are simply two tricks how companies make us to spend more money on unwanted things: firstly, letting customers to believe their products will make us feel better and provide more pleasure; secondly, bombarding customers with loads of commercials to create needs.小学印象最深的人Describe a person who impressed you most when you were in primary schoolYou should say:Who the person isHow you knew him/herWhy he/she impressed you most and explain how you feel about him/her.Plan your talk:> Who the person is:> (Optional) What this person looks like:> (Optional) What the person does:> How you knew him/her:> (Optional) How you felt about the person:> Why he/she impressed you most:> (Optional) What he/she impressed you most:> And explain How you feel about him/her:> (Optional) Whether you have seen him/her ever since:教师的解析：此题是一道人物类话题，但是对时间做出了限制，即你需要描述一个在小学阶段令你印象深刻的人，这样 的人可以是你小学时代生活中的人，比方同学、老师等，也可以是你小学时代崇拜的名人。描述此题的所 需要的时态主要为一股过去时，也可以使用一些一般现在时来描述自己现在对这个人的感受.还可以使用 最高级、虚拟语气等来展现语法丰富度。在词汇方面，需要注意多使用一些能够形容这个人物特点的形容 词。for a definite 定 in person 亲自Sample Answer 1 (6 分参考):So, I don't even know this person's name, but he's a great person. He owned a small retail shop right across from my primary school. I can't even remember his look but I'm pretty sure he was shorter than me and he wore a pair of glasses. Even before I got into primary school, his shop had already been there and I believe he continued to run his business after I graduated.His shop sold a bunch of things like drinks and snacks, you know, things a regular shop would offer, but what made his store stand out was that he would offer basketball rental services to us students. So, in my primary school, playing sports was strictly prohibited during lunch break. To make matters worse, our teachers would take away our football or basketball if we got caught. As a result, he was the only source available to me and my friends, who were at that time fanatic about sports. The good thing about him was that he wouldn't charge us a high price because of his monopoly. Instead, we only needed to pay like 1 yuan each time we rented, which was literally nothing.I was truly grateful because he was the reason I got to keep fit in my childhood. I mean, I did get tan because of outdoor exercise and my mom complained a lot about that, but it was a small price to pay. I think he truly cared about us and wanted us to enjoy sports because if he had wanted to make money, he would have charged us a lot more than that.Sample Answer 2 （7 分参考）：Well, this topic reminds me of a person F d long forgotten about, but now I would say everything comes flooding back in my mind.There used to be a grocery store near my primary school, which was run by an old man who was 60 something back then. I used to be a frequent there after school, so I gradually became acquainted with him.Honestly speaking, I didn* t know much about his life, but I' d say he didn* t act his age and behaved quite differently from other grumpy old men, I mean, he was fond of chatting with us, primary school kids, in an amicable manner. Apart from that, he had a rich store of anecdotes of the old days and he was very willing to share.And now with reference to why he made an impression on me, the first point I want to make here is quite simple, it' s just that F m a big fan of his store. It was like a little haven for me. As a latchkey child, both of my parents returned home rather late, so I used to linger in his store, lost myself in the sea of all sorts of snacks, little toys, and stationery. I felt truly grateful that he would never be bothered by me and even treated me with some refreshments. He always came to me and said gently, "take your pick", It' s amazing that his voice is still fresh in my mind.And so finally then, if you ask me how I feel about him now, well, if I could turn the clock back, I would pay a visit to him for a definite and tell him how much I miss him and his little store in person.Part 3Question 1: Why do people always miss their childhood?解题思路：此题在问：人们为什么会怀念童年。怀念儿时几乎是长大成人之后的一种本能，因为儿时无忧无虑，天 真烂漫，在回答此题时，我们可以描述童年的特点，再把它和现在的生活进行比照即刻。Sample Answer:Well, I guess when you were a kid, you didn't need to worry about a lot of things like work, study, or money, which would be covered by your parents, versus when you grow up and become more independent, you have to deal with these kinds of things all by yourself and you cannot rely on others as much as you used to, which would add a lot of stress to you.Question 2: Are kids happier than adults? Why?解题思路：此题在问：孩子比大人更快乐吗，以及这样回答的原因.此题的题型为观点类，所以只要给出自己的看 法并进行相关论证即可。比方选择孩子更快乐，因为与成人相比，孩子更像是一张白纸，所以对于他们 来说会有更多未知的体验和新的经历，这些可以带来快乐。相比之下成人由于经历过这一切，因此对于 他们来说，生活会比较一成不变。所以从这个角度来看，孩子会更快乐一些。当然也可以从其他角度切 入进行论证。Sample Answe匚Well, it's hard to say who is happier, but I believe children get happy more easily. In my opinion, happiness comes when you are fulfilled and satisfied, so children gain an advantage naturally because they are born blank sheets of paper; and everything they experience is fresh and new. Therefore, through simply experiencing the world, children can get happy. On the other hand, adults get years of experience, and as a result, they get used to many things after repeated exposure. This follows the same logic as when you hear a joke over and over again: it gets less and less funny the more you hear that same joke. So, to some extent, I believe kids are happier than adults.Question 3: Why do people still remember many of their friends from primary school?解题思路：此题在问：人们为什么会记得小学时期的朋友。我们可以从科学的角度来回答，即孩子的记忆力比较强， 所以会对儿时的玩伴印象深刻。此外，由于学制的原因，小学的伙伴可以相伴六年时光，因此会一起经 历较多的事情，难忘也是必然的。Sample Answer:I think the most obvious reason is that children's brains are so malleable that they can take everything in, so people can recall a lot of things from their childhood memory, including their friends in primary school. Another thing is that, well, at least in China, you got to spend the longest time with your primary school friends. I mean, if you spent six years with the same bunch of people 8 hours a day, five days a week, I'm sure you'll have a deep impression of these people, especially when you compare it to the amount of time you spend in middle school or high school, which takes 3 years each. So, I believe it's got something to do with both children's impressive memory as well as the amount of time they got to spend with their childhood friends.Question 4: What kinds of primary school teachers will impress students?解题思路：此题在问：什么养的小学老师会让学生印象深刻？这道题可以有许多切入点，你可以说一位幽默幽默的 老师，一位教学严谨的老师，一位美丽优雅的老师等。但是不能脱离小学这一阶段学生们的认知水平， 比方小学生的抽象思维能力还不够强大，所以他们可能比较喜欢上课相对生动有趣的老师.在语言方面 需要注意使用一系列的逻辑联结词来串联自己的答案。Sample Answer:Well, I think for a teacher to be impressive, he or she needs to create an information gap large enough for students to look up to, but not too difficult for students to comprehend. So, for a primary school teacher; this information gap should be quite easy to make, even when students nowadays can look up things on the Internet and teachers are no longer one of the only sources of information anymore. The challenge is, primary school students may find it difficult to understand abstract concepts, which may therefore prevent them from knowing how admirable their teacher is. So, in this case, primary school teachers who can adeptly use real-life examples or teaching aids to relate to abstract topics in his/her classroom will win students' respect.浪费时间的活动Describe an activity you usually do that wastes your timeYou should say:What it isWhen you usually do itWhy you do itand explain why you think it wastes your time.Plan your talk:> (Optional) how you feel about this topicWhat it is that wastes your time> When you usually do it(Optional) Where you do it> Why you do it(Optional) How others may feel about this activityA Why you think it' s a waste of time教师的解析：开头可以说一说对这个话题的感受，比方觉得有点难，因为如果意识到自己做的事情浪费时间，就不会经 常去做了。再讲T牛让自己上瘾的事情(sth addictive )，比方使用社交媒体。Sample Answer 1 （6 分参考）：Well, I'd like to talk about celebrating the spring festivals with distant relatives Which is a very common activity in my country , A part of our tradition, actually, I've been really familiar with it for quite a long time since I was a child, honestly I have got tired of it already.Honestly, I have to take part in this activity on a very regular basis like once in a year. However, deep down, I constantly find it unnecessarily boring. I mean, there are always someone that I barely know, but I have to listen to them nagging or even spouting. Honestly, I just don't get it. It is a total waste of time to me. What's worse, occasionally some of them would ask me some very private questions, like my school results, whether I've got a boyfriend yet or not. I mean, what's the point, right?I still remember that last year due to the Covid-19, all these family celebrations were canceled. I mean, finally, I didn't have to fake my smile anymore.So all in all I really don't like this activity, although it could be festive, I don't find myself very comfortable taking part in them, I wish I wouldn't have to do that again.Sample Answer 2 （7 分参考）：Well this topic seems tricky because if we realize what we* re doing is a waste of time, then we wouldn' t make a habit out of it and continue doing it, right? But there is one thing 1 do that' s taken up too much of my time, that is, using soc
