When I play football with others I can make friends with those who come from different departments. Meanwhile I can learn how to forgive others' mistakes during the match, which will help me to become more endurable in the daily life. Besides, I can practice my ability to work efficiently with my fellows, because it seems that we can win the game only if we can work together in a powerful team. In a word, I can reap the great benefits of this hobby.During my spare time, I would like to go to the library. I can learn other subjects in there so that I can improve my knowledge structure, which will provide me with a better chance to find a good job in the future. What's more, I can get more references about my major, and by this way 1 can also make my major improved greatly.1 .你的专业，为什么选这个专业？My major is legal science which is also my fovorite major. In this field, we are able to learn a lot of knowledge. There are many subjects we have to learn, such as Criminal Procedure Law, Civil Law, Law of Civil Procedure, General Rules of the Civil Law, Marriage Law, International Law, Jurisprudence, philosophy, logic, history, politics and so foilh.The following is the reasons why I choose it:First of all, I am interested in my major, I love watching the TV programs about laws since I was in the middle school and it expands my horizons.

I love this university at the sight of her, and I think the university life is colorful, stimulating, exciting, enjoyable, interesting, meaningful, and so on. Most important of all, I find college English class is most exciting for me.First of all, college English class is student-centered and only speaking English. In middle and high schools, English classes were teacher-centered and bi-lingual, English teachers explained English grammars and new words in Chinese from the beginning to the end of each class, and we had little chance to speak English even in class. However, here English teachers give speeches in English, and we students are required to answer some questions, discuss some topics, and exchange our ideas, etc. only in English in class. I have to practice myI find those people snobbish or stupid who judge others only by the clothes they wear.41. How do you think of the traffic in the city you live? How to deal with the traffic jams in the city?I don't think the traffic condition is bad in Haikou expect when it is during the rush hour. Most of roads that are large enough and relatively fewer vehicles than those in other large cities offer citizens a much comfortable traffic condition. But when it rains, all is in mess. For the road will be full of water and serious traffic jams even traffic accidents will be caused.As for the traffic jams in the city, there are fours ways to deal with them. First, more highways are in need of building. Second, strict traffic regulations are in need of issuing. Third, more training are given to drivers. Forth, we need to persuade people to observe traffic regulations and not to cross the street when the red light is on. If the four ways can work well, Tm sure the traffic jams in the city can be solved effectively.42. On inventionThe 20tb century was an age of great inventions and discoveries, which revolutionized human life. The invention and popularization of the computer dramatically changed almost every aspect of people's life and work. The invention of television and other appliances., such the VCD, DVD, hi-fi, Walkman, MP3 and MP4, offers human beings more and better visual and audio enjoyments. There is no denying that we live much better than before. However, a double-edged sword of good and evil has hung over human technology for the beginriing. We are more and more aware that some scientific or technological advances, though useful, may have unpleasant side effects. The small machine, the Walkman, is no exception. It is, on the one hand, a handy personal stereo that can accompany us wherever we go, but on the other, it may damage our hearing and even bring risks to our lives if used inappropriately.43. Say something about the golden weeks in ChinaThe GW (Golden Week) once became a peak consuming week and brought “gold” to many tourist destinations. However, GW has been steadily losing its glitter for more and more Chinese people, since it was first introduced on National Day 1999. Even for business, GW does not ensure long-term commercial prosperity, as Hrush consumption“ during the holiday often results in a consumption slump afterward.Though the number of travelers during the period has increased, litde room for further growth remains. In fact, not everyone affords vacation traveling. While the positive effects of GW have begun to fade, its negative side manifests itself in recent years. Trains, airports and sightseeing spots get overcrowded, and accommodation in tourist areas are booked out well in advance. There are too many people almost everywhere. Even in the toilet, people have to wait in a long queue. Moreover, the sudden rush of visitors swarming into scenic spots at the same time causes damage and environmental stress. All these resulted in people's disfavor with the current GW. More and more people are tired of the crush of crowds on public transportation and at popular tourism spots, and they prefer a short visit to a nearby park, a temple fair, and a special show or watching exciting sports events as good alternatives.Some people refuse to be tired and poor after GW. They would rather turn GW into a Copper Week, killing lots of free time by doing whatever they like. Even staying at home, people can enjoy GW in quite different ways, being extremely idle and relaxing or exceptionally busy. Some may desire a Sleeping Week to get much needed sleep, when others work hard for those things being put off, read many books, play mahjong, surf the Internet and watch TV till late night. Surely it is not bad if you can get a little "gold" back through overtime work in the first three days of GW (public holidays) that are well paid (three times standard rate). Remember, family reunion shines GW best of all!44. How do you arrange your holidays?During the holidays, I like doing things that would get me closer to the nature such as climbing mountains, camping, and so on. But I don't like places crowded with people. I also prefer going abroad for my holidays because I can see a lot of interesting things which are different from ours. And if I am lucky enough, I can make some foreign friends on the trip and improve my English, too.If I have longer holidays, say, the National Day or the Labor's Day holidays, 1 usually spend the first few days going out with friends/ classmates for some fun/ a picnic/ traveling/ going to the seaside and enjoy the beautiful scenery. And then I would spend the last two or few days staying at home/ in the dorm sleeping/ reading some books to bring me back from the holiday and get ready for my study/ work.45. Which festival do you like best? Why?I like the Spring Festival most among various traditional festivals in China as it is the biggest and most exciting festival for Chinese. I like the Spring Festival also because I can eat a lot of delicious food and do a lot of interesting thing. For me, setting off fireworks at night is the most enjoyable thing during the festival. The whole sky would be filled with wonderful colors. But I don't enjoy visiting relatives with my parents, for it's so tiring and boring.The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all fomily members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, they mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. And each family will stay up to see the New Year in.46. Are customs and old rituals of traditional Chinese festivals well reserved?Well, I think Current customs to observe traditional Chinese festivals get more and more simplified and the old rituals are gradually gone. For some people, festivals only mean the symbolic foods, such as wrapped glutinous rice for the Dragon Boat Festival or moon cake for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The growing popularity of Western holidays in China might be one reason for the weakening cultural elements in China's traditional holidays. Another important reason I think is that many festivals, considered important days on China's lunar calendar, such as Lunar New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Day, are not public holidays, and relevant folk customs are not well observed, especially in cities, as people have to work.47. How do you look at the popularity of some western festivals in China?A: In recent years, western holidays are welcomed by most of the Chinese people. I think this kind of popularity has many advantages. First, through celebrates the western holiday, we may better promote the western culture exchange. We can also learn some western cultures. For example on Thanksgiving, people celebrate the harvest by preparing a large meal. And this helps us to know westerners better.B: I think the popularity of the western festivals in China isn*t suitable. Western and Eastern has different culture, and different culture created one's own festival. They came together and know each other really and closely only in modem times. Now, more and more Chinese young people talk about western and accept their festivals, this may say possibly they will forget where they are and what nationalities they are. foreign festivals are popular mainly among the younger generation while the seniors show little interests to them. As I have previously stated, the young people today are growing in the atmosphere of well acceptance of foreign cultures and increasing tolerance toward foreign festivals. They enjoy happily sending greeting cards at Christmas, DIY chocolate to their beloved ones on valentine's day, make jokes on April fool's day and hug their parents on Mother's day and Father's day. To them, foreign festivals enrich their lives, giving them more occasions to have fun and appreciate love. While, on the other hand, the older generation show quiet indifferent attinides toward foreign festivals. They still prefer traditional Chinese festivals, during which the gathering of family is still greatly emphasized. They regard the young people's craze about Christmas and Valentine Day as deceived by business' tricks. The money spent on gifts and flowers are, in their eyes, nothing but waste.48. Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival?Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas gifts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why? One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians, college students and joint-venture (workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic festival. By contrast, the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.I think, it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West, a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.49. Can you tell me about Chinese food?Yes, but it's a difficult question. You see, there is no such simple thing as so-called nChinese food". With a territory as large and a history as long and complex as China's, it is inevitable that distinct regional differences in cuisine have evolved over the centuries. China's long history, vast territory and extensive contact with other nations and cultures have given birth to the distinctive Chinese culinary art. As you know, the nearly endless variety of natural ingredients and methods of preparation employed in Chinese cuisine stand out unequaled in the world. I suppose that may very well account for the universal popularity of Chinese restaurants and Chinese cooking overseas.It is generally accepted that we have four principal culinary regions: Shandong, Sichuan, Canton and Yangzhou, with Fujian-Taiwan most commonly listed as a fifth. But these designations are not hard and fest geographical boundaries. Well, Beijing food, for instance, foils within the realm of Shangdong cooking, but includes some Sichuan dishes and Mongolian-influenced specialties. The cuisine of the entire densely-populated Yangtze River delta area, including Wuxi, Suzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou dishes, foils under the category of Yangzhou cuisine.50. Can you just briefly tell me how you think Chinese food is different from that of other countries?Well, I fm afraid I don't know muc
