1. Please talk about the importance of time. What’s your view on it?
In this world, there is one thing that is very fair to everybody, whether you are a male or female, young or old, rich or poor. Does anybody know what it is called?
Right. It is time. The topic I am going to present to you today is called “Treasure Every Minute”.
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
And remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!! The clock is running. Treasure every moment that you have. Make the most of today.
Good luck, everybody!
2. How to keep healthy?
What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health. Good health is worth more than wealth.
How to keep healthy? I think we should have a balanced diet, take exercise regularly, have enough sleep and have a certain circle of good friends.
In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins.
Taking exercise every day helps us build up a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.
What's more, I think friends are an important part of one's health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don't. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friends.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.
3. Do you think surfing on the Internet can help you? And how?
We should say that every coin has its two sides. So it is with surfing on line.
Generally speaking, we benefit a lot from internet. People can get lots of useful information through the internet quickly, no matter it is national or throughout the world. We can also listen to the music and chat with the friends far away. The most important of all is that we can search many foreigners who speak English as their native language, which can help us improve our English rapidly. We can send email to our good friends in a few seconds with the internet your friend don’t need to wait for so long time as receiving a letter as before.
But it also can spread many side effects, for example, there are some sexy news and pictures on web which will not do good to teenagers. And there are some games that can easily attract the students and even make you addict to the games so you can waste a lot of valuable time.
On the whole it will give you both good and bad things, the thing matters much is how you make use of it.
4. What is your idea of a qualified teacher?
First, an ideal English teacher should have correct pronunciation and intonation. When students learn a language, they hear it mostly from the teacher. If the teacher is not correct in his pronunciation and intonation, how can he expect his students to be right?
Second, an ideal English teacher should be fluent in his spoken English. He must be able to express himself well in English.
Third, an ideal teacher should have a good command of both the English language and his mother tongue. He should be clearly aware of the differences between the two languages and the two cultures.
Fourth, an ideal English teacher should have a strong sense of humor so that he can keep his classes filled with laughter.
Moreover, an ideal English teacher should know the art of teaching and be able to motivate his students to study and equip them with the correct way of learning English.
Finally, an ideal English teacher should be patient and equal to every student.
5. What can we do to build up a healthy environment?
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. With the development of industry and agriculture, cars make great noises and give off poisonous gas. Trees on the hills have been cut down, and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to man's existence.
We must face the situation that exists and take actions to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution, the public must receive the education about the hazard of pollution. We hope that all these measures will be effective and bring back a healthful environment.
6. Television plays an important role in our society. Talk about positive and negative aspects of television.
Since television has entered our life for so long, many may discuss the topic whether television has brought us more good effects than bad ones. Some people might be right to think that television harms the relationship between one another, but as for me, I strongly agree with the statement that television has had a mostly positive effect on society, for it provides us a way to take the load off our mind, and it gives us a chance to know more things about the world.
The most obvious merit brought by television is that it offers us a way to entertain. It is a common scene of life that someone gets back home after a whole day of hard work and turns on the television. No matter whether it is their favorite soap opera, or just some random talk show, their mind will soon be released from all the tension results from their work.
Besides the relaxation given by television, another big part of watching television is that one gets to know more things about the world through news and reports, or just about the environment nearby. For example, a housewife can learn about different ways of cooking chicken wings for her children when she is watching a program hosted by a gourmet, while a pet keeper can gain knowledge about how to make their pets healthier. A retired man can enjoy programs that teach them how to pick the best flower seeds, while a young girl can obtain various methods to lose weight in shows that give wonderful tips. In all these cases, television is the medium that offers people an opportunity to see things more clearly.
However, there are still some drawbacks about television. Watching television now is the major reason why more students are wearing glasses. Actually in my class, more than 90% of the students are near-sighted. Another disadvantage is that the temptation to watch television may cause conflicts between children and parents.
Although there are numerous shortcomings of watching television, they cannot compete with the benefits television brings about. I believe that television is something that has a mainly positive influence, and that we should try to enjoy more of the beauty brought by it.
7. TABLE MANNERS AT A DINNER PARTY:
Dinner start with a small dish, which is often called a starter. Some people pray before they start eating , and other people may keep silent for a moment. Then you can say” Enjoy your meal” to each other and everybody start eating. For the starter, which you eat with the smaller pair, you keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left. After the starter you will get a bowl of soup—but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second serving.
The next dish is the main course. Many Westerners think the chicken breast with its tender white flesh is the best part of the bird. Some people can use their fingers when they eating chicken or other birds, but never touch beef or other meat in bones. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don't take more food than you need.
At table, you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time.
Most Westerners like soft drink if they will drive home. Many of them drink white or red wine with the food. When drinking to someone's health, you raise your glasses, but the glasses should not touch. The custom of toasting in some parts of China is to finish the drink at once, but Westerners usually take only a sip. For drinking during a dinner, the best advice is never to drink too much.
Table manners change over time. They follow the fashion of the day .Beside, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties. If you're not sure what to do, you can always follow your hosts. Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.
8. Do you love traveling? What places of interest have you ever been to? Please share your traveling experiences with your partner and tell him or her what you learn from it?
Travel is a very good means of broadening a person's perspective. It makes you come into contact with different cultures and meet people of different colors. Travelling much， you will not only enrich your knowledge and experiences， but also be aware of the vastness of nature.
Travel may also relieve person of boredom and gloom. Travel brings you enjoyment and attraction. It gives you a pleasant experience， which will disperse your boredom and make you forget whatever annoys you. Travel broadens your mind and leaves you good memories. Later， you may go over these memories and enjoy your past experiences， thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind.
9. Talk about sports.
Taking exercise is good for our health. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. By taking exercise, we can relax our body and mind. At the same time, we can harden our muscle and have a good figure. If we don't take exercise for a long time, we may easily fall sick.
A healthy body is necessary for a healthy mind. As is known, to have a sound mind, we must first have a sound body. This is of vital importance. Only by keeping ourselves healthy and strong can we feel energetic and vigorous in studying and working and live a happy life.
To keep ourselves fit, physical exercise is the best way. In taking part in out-door sports, we are closer to nature and can take in fresh air. The beauty of nature will keep us clear-headed, which is essential to our health. Besides, sports stimulate the circulation of blood and help to excrete the wastes in the body. Sports can also work up our appetite and activate our digestion. As a result, we can become strong-bodied.
I always take an active part in physical exercise and enjoy good health. I seldom get sick but feel vigorous even if I work a whole day Dong. I shall keep up doing physical exercise so as to live longer and do more for the country.
10. How to study English well?
English is one of the most important subjects in middle school. Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well, but few of us know how to learn it well. Karl Marx has set a good example for us. He once said, "When one is learning a foreign language, he must use the foreign language." In this way, he could use several languages. A saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." When we learn English, we should read more, speak more, listen to English from time to time and practice writing every day. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Only in this way can we learn it well
11. the Spring Festival

12. Christmas
Christmas is the most cheerful and holy of holidays in the Christian world, Christmas day falls on December 25th each year, celebration the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of a carpenter living over two thousand years ago.
Many secular symbols of Christmas have emerged over several centuries：St. Nicholas was also called Santa Claus or Father Christmas. Christmas religious songs. Another very prominent symbol of Christmas is the Christmas tree. people hung cakes and candies on it and later, fruit made of paper adorned(装饰) the branches.
Early on the night before Christmas (Christmas Eve), children are encouraged to go to bed early if they expect Santa to come. Today laid their heads on their pillows with visions of what the next day will bring. Santa is invisible to children since no one has actually seen him, his sleigh, or reindeer on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas day, families usually get together for a roast goose or turkey(火鸡) dinner served with mashed(压碎的) potatoes, gravy(肉汁), cranberry sauce, and pie or pudding for dessert. Grown-ups will pour a glass or two of wine or other spirits(烈酒). Together, families will openly exchange gift and gratitude. Children, including cousins, nieces and nephews, often kneel on the floor in front of the tree, excitedly trying to find presents with their names on them. On that day, warm receptions are extended to everyone, friend or strange. Christmas has spread far and wide across the globe. During the Christmas season, we saw many Christmas decorations and heard a lot of western Christmas music in department stores.
13. music
I am crazy about music for many reasons.
First, you know, music is divided into some different styles. Such as pop、classical、jazz、rock、blues、folk and country music. Different people have different tastes about music. I appreciate light music、pop music and so on. I’ve benefited from music and changed my mind a lot.
Second, music is perfect to my spirit and soul. When I felt desperation、upset、alone and even sometimes that I lost my temper, music worked with me. It cools down my crazy mind. Music is active and positive. It takes me to another world and made me to be another one. Now I’m optimist and I will appreciate everyday and everything.
Third, music is the same as our language which is able to reach my spirit and bridge the gap between my soul and the external world.
In a word, I must say, music is the common language of the world. Enjoying them and you’ll obtain lots of happiness.
14. friendship
A life without a friend is a life without a sun. Friendship is one of the most important things in everyone's life.
Friends are who changes your life just by being a part of it, who makes you believe that there really is good in the world, who convinces you that there really is an unlock door just waiting for you to open it.
Friendship, you must require it when you make your life in the society, it’s priceless when you own the real friendship, it means when you get in trouble you can call for help and protection from it. Whatever you meet in the road of your life, it won't abandon you with any reason, as the saying goes, “ when the whole world turn its back on you ,but the friendship don't do that”. It means the warm, the trust, the love and the care, it means all for you without reward. It's the purest relationship among people in this bitter society, it deserves our life to go through the sweet and bitter to obtain the friendship.
When you’re down, friends lift you up. When you lose your way, friends guide you and cheer you on.
So cherish your friend,
