Plus, they’re super comfortable — I mean, I can move freely, sit however I want, and not feel like I’m wearing a tight or stiff不易弯曲的 suit.

Band 6.5 回答： I definitely prefer comfortable and casual clothes most of the time. As a student, I spend most of my day having classes, studying in the library or hanging out with friends, so casual items like hoodies, jeans and trainers are much more practical for daily life. They let me move around freely, and I don’t have to worry about getting them wrinkled or dirty. That said, I do wear smart clothes on special occasions, such as job interviews or formal family dinners, because it shows respect for the event and other people. But for my day-to-day life, comfort always comes first.

中文对照： 绝大多数时候我肯定更偏爱舒适休闲的衣服。作为一名学生，我一天大部分时间都在上课、泡图书馆或者和朋友出门，所以卫衣、牛仔裤、运动鞋这类休闲单品在日常生活里实用得多。穿它们活动起来很自在，也不用担心衣服起皱或者弄脏。话虽如此，在一些特殊场合我也会穿正式服装，比如求职面试或者正式的家庭聚餐，因为这是对场合和其他人的尊重。但在日常起居里，舒适永远是第一位的。

3）Do you like wearing T-shirts?

Yeah, I’m really into wearing T-shirts.

I probably wear one four or five times a week, unless I have to go somewhere formal.

（breathable and cool especially in summer；absorb sweat）

cheap to buy（affordable） and replace

machine‑washable / low maintenance 省心的，不费事的

1. 表态

Yeah, I’d say I do spend quite a lot of time choosing clothes.

2. 原因（2个）

I really care about my appearance, and I like matching colors and styles.

3. 例子/频率

For example, even on a normal school day, I might try on two or three different tops before sleeping. And if I’m going out with friends, it can take me 20 minutes easily.

4. 总结

So yeah, I’m kind of picky when it comes to outfits.

Yes, absolutely.

My weekday clothes are usually quite casual and low-maintenance since I don't want to spend too much time deciding what to wear in the morning.

Yet, on weekends, though, I enjoy dressing up a little because it helps me unwind and switch into a more relaxed mood.

I'm quite into black. I think this is the most ideal color for me，as it helps the entire clothes look resistant to the dirt（show some dirt easily）. You know, when my black sleeves got blotted, they look not that bad.

5.Cars[new]

Yes, I really adored traveling by car when I was a kid. （同替）

Back then, my family often took long road trips during summer holidays, and I always sat by the window, watching the scenery, eating snacks and sharing my school life with my parents. （时间/例子）

It was a fantastic way to create some precious family memories between my parents and me, which strengthened our family bond.

wiped my perspective.        Extroverted

Prefer.

Seden electric SUV

Electirc new energy car vehicle fuel gasoline petrol

2)what types of cars do

When it comes to my favorite type of cars, hybird is undoubtedly my go-to choice.

Simply because they are more fuel-efficient and run with lower noise compared with ordinary petrol cars.

Additionally, they have no range anxiety as they can be refueled easily whenever necessary.

（For me, the combination of saving money on gas and having a smooth, peaceful driving experience is just perfect.）

I'm definitely into being a passenger rather than a driver.

It's a much better option for me because I can totally relax along the way without worrying about traffic or navigation.

For example, on long road trips with my friends, I always grab the back seat and enjoy the ride — watching the scenery, listening to music, or scrolling through my phone.

In contrast, being a driver is really draining枯燥 — you have to keep your eyes on the road the whole time and you cannot unwind at all during the trip.

If I’m a driver , I usually listen to music or podcasts to pass/kill the time and stay relaxed.

If I'm a passenger, I might also check my phone or chat with the people around me.

Normally，I try not to get too impatient, because traffic jam is pretty common nowadays. （It's pretty common to see  …）

我认为汽车颜色非常重要。(matter a lot)

首先，从实用性的角度来说黑色的车子其实反而不耐脏，特别是对于在建筑行业工作的人来说。

其次，从安全的角度来说，亮色车子在路上更显眼，能有效降低交通事故的风险。

但是，不论如何in any cases，个人的颜色喜好当然是优先项—comes first

Firstly, from a practical perspective, black cars are actually less dirt-resistant, especially for those working in the construction industry.

Secondly, from a safety view, bright-colored cars stand out more on the road, which can effectively reduce the risk of traffic accidents.

Personal preference comes first.

英文模板 I usually use true wireless earbuds, and they are my go-to choice. Simply because they are very convenient and easy to carry around.

中文对照 我平时用真无线蓝牙耳机，这是我的首选。主要是因为它们很方便，随身携带也轻松。而且我特别讨厌缠在一起的耳机线，这款耳机蓝牙连手机也很快。它还有降噪功能，在吵闹的地方特别好用。

3. When would you use headphones?

英文模板 I use headphones quite often in my daily life, especially during my commute on buses or the subway. I usually listen to music or podcasts to kill time and block out noisy crowds. More importantly, wearing headphones stops me from disturbing others, as I would feel awkward playing sounds out loud in public.

中文对照 我日常生活里经常用耳机，尤其是坐公交、地铁通勤的时候。我一般会听音乐或者播客来打发时间，同时隔绝嘈杂的人群。更重要的是，戴耳机就不会打扰到别人，因为在公共场合外放声音我会觉得很尴尬。

4. In what conditions would you not use headphones?

英文模板 There are many occasions where I choose not to wear headphones. First of all, I take them off when walking on busy roads or riding a bike, since I need to hear surrounding sounds to stay safe. Besides, I never use them while chatting face-to-face with others, as it would seem rude and inconsiderate.

中文对照 很多时候我都不会戴耳机。首先，在车多的路上走路或者骑车的时候我会摘下来，因为我需要听清周围的声音保证安全。此外，和别人面对面聊天的时候我绝对不会戴，因为那样显得很没礼貌、不考虑别人。

5. Is wearing headphones comfortable?

英文模板 From my perspective, it depends on the type of headphones. Modern lightweight wireless earbuds feel nice and don’t trouble my ears at all for short-time use. However, if I wear them for a whole day without taking breaks, my ear canals will feel a little sore and uncomfortable.

中文对照 在我看来，这要看耳机的类型。现在的轻量化真无线耳机戴着很舒服，短时间用完全不会给耳朵造成负担。但如果一整天都戴着不摘的话，我的耳道会有点发酸、不太舒服。

9.Watch[new]

1. Do you wear a watch?

英文模板 No, I don’t wear a watch regularly in daily life. I mainly use my smartphone to check the time, since I carry it with me all the time. The only time I wear a watch is when I go for a run, I’ll put on a smart watch to track my heart rate and exercise data.

中文对照 我日常生活里不常戴手表。我主要用手机看时间，因为手机一直随身带。我唯一戴手表的时候是去跑步的时候，会戴智能手表监测心率和运动数据。

2. Have you ever got a watch as a gift?

英文模板 Yes, I have. I received a smart watch from my cousin as a graduation gift when I finished my bachelor’s degree. It was really practical, as it could monitor my sleep quality, remind me of important tasks and track my daily exercise. I used it every day for almost two years.

中文对照 收到过。我本科毕业的时候，表哥送了我一块智能手表当毕业礼物。它特别实用，能监测我的睡眠质量、提醒我重要事项，还能记录我每天的运动情况。我几乎天天用，用了快两年。

3. Why do some people wear expensive watches?

英文模板 I think there are several reasons for this. For some people, an expensive watch is a symbol of social status and taste, especially in formal business occasions. For others, high-end watches are like collections, since they have fine craftsmanship and can keep their value for a long time.

中文对照 我觉得有几个原因。对有些人来说，名贵的手表是社会地位和品味的象征，尤其是在正式的商务场合。对另一些人来说，高端手表是一种收藏品，因为它们工艺精湛，还能长期保值。

4. Do you think it is important to wear a watch? Why?

英文模板 Well, I don’t think it’s essential for everyone nowadays. Most people can easily check the time on their phones, so a watch is more like an accessory than a necessity. But for people in certain professions, or those who want to look professional in formal situations, a nice watch can still be important.

中文对照 我觉得现在手表对所有人来说不是必须的。大多数人用手机就能很方便地看时间，所以手表更像是一件配饰，而非必需品。但对于特定职业的人，或者想在正式场合显得专业的人来说，一块好看的手表还是很重要的。

10.Mirrors[new]

Yes, I do. Mirrors help me check my appearance before I go out. I look in the mirror several times every day. For example, I check my clothes and hair after washing my face in the morning. Also, I glance at the mirror quickly before leaving home to make sure I look tidy. When I stay at home all day without plans, I barely look at mirrors at all.

中文翻译

我挺喜欢照镜子的。出门前镜子能帮我整理仪容。 我每天会照好几次镜子。比如早上洗完脸，我会整理穿搭和发型；出门前也会快速照一下，保证自己干净整洁。 但如果一整天都宅在家不出门，我几乎不会照镜子。

Uh, no, I have never bought mirrors before, but I have mirrors in the bathroom that my parents bought for myself.

Uh, no, I am not usually taking meals with me because it's because I think it's unnecessary.

Absolutely, I think mirrors are great decorations. First, a large wall mirror can make a small bedroom look bigger and brighter, which is perfect for my tiny room. Besides, decorative mirrors with unique frames can add a soft, stylish touch to walls. The only thing I would avoid is putting too many mirrors together, since that would make the space feel messy.

中文翻译

当然会，我觉得镜子是很棒的装饰。 首先，一面大墙面镜能让狭小的卧室看起来更宽敞明亮，特别适合我不大的房间。另外，带有独特边框的装饰镜，能给墙面增添柔和、时尚的氛围感。 唯一我不会做的就是堆砌太多镜子，那样会让房间显得杂乱。

2. Have you ever received a great gift?

3. What do you consider when choosing a gift?

英文模板 There are several factors I consider when choosing a gift. To begin with, I always think about the receiver’s preferences and interests.

4. Do you think you are good at choosing gifts?

英文模板 Yes, I think I’m pretty good at picking thoughtful gifts. Take my experience for example: a few weeks ago, I noticed my roommate loved swimming and also enjoyed listening to music, so I bought her a pair of waterproof bone conduction headphones for her birthday. She told me it was the most practical gift she had ever received.

中文对照 是的，我觉得我挺擅长选贴心的礼物的。举个例子，几周前我发现室友很喜欢游泳，同时也爱听音乐，所以我给她买了一副防水骨传导耳机当生日礼物。她跟我说这是她收到过最实用的礼物。

5. What gift have you received recently?

英文模板 The most recent gift I got was lucky money in red envelopes during this Spring Festival. They were given to me by the elder members of my family. It represents their best wishes for me, like good health, peace and good fortune in the new year.

中文对照 我最近收到的礼物是今年春节的红包压岁钱，是家里长辈给我的。它承载着长辈们的美好祝愿，比如新的一年身体健康、平安顺遂、好运常伴。

12.Pets and Animals [old]

My favourite animal is the cat. To start with, they are quiet and independent, so they won’t make too much noise to disturb me. Besides, they look soft and lovely, and staying with them helps me unwind after busy study. Every time I touch a cat, all my stress fades away. 中文 我最喜欢的动物是猫。首先它们安静又独立，不会制造太多噪音打扰我。除此之外，它们软乎乎的特别可爱，忙碌学习过后和小猫待在一起能让我放松。每次摸猫咪，我的压力都会消失。

 I definitely prefer raising pets indoors. If you leave animals outside, they may get lost or catch cold easily. What’s more, indoor pets can stay close to their owners and create a warmer family atmosphere. 中文 我肯定更喜欢在室内养宠物。如果把小动物放在室外，它们很容易走丢或者着凉。而且养在屋里，宠物能一直陪伴主人，家里氛围也更温馨。

Yes, I kept a little cat for two years when I was in junior high. I fed it every morning and played with it after school. Unfortunately, I had to send it to my relative’s home when I entered high school, because I was too busy with schoolwork. 中文 有，我初中养过一只小猫，养了两年。我每天早上喂它，放学就陪它玩耍。可惜上高中之后学业太忙，只能把它送到亲戚家饲养了。

Without doubt, cats and dogs are the most popular animals across the country. Most young people choose them as companion pets. Apart from being cute, they bring great comfort to people who live alone and relieve their loneliness. 中文 毫无疑问，猫狗是国内最受欢迎的小动物。大部分年轻人都会把它们当作陪伴型宠物。除了外形可爱之外，它们还能给独居的人带来慰藉，缓解孤单。

这里要从我国特殊的生活方式出发

13.Food [old]

One special food I’d like to talk about is longevity noodles, which are a classic traditional Chinese dish. They are mainly eaten on birthdays, especially for elder family members, because they stand for the wish of a long and healthy life.

My favourite food is longevity noodles, a classic traditional Chinese dish. We always have it on birthdays in my family, especially for my grandparents. I like it not only because it tastes light and warm, but also because it carries the wish for good health and a long life. It feels really comforting every time I eat it.

中文对照： 我最喜欢的食物是长寿面，一道经典的中式传统美食。我们家过生日的时候总会吃，尤其是给爷爷奶奶祝寿的时候。我喜欢它不仅因为味道清淡暖心，还因为它承载着健康长寿的祝愿，每次吃都觉得很治愈。

When I was little, I also loved longevity noodles the most. Every time my grandma cooked it for family birthdays, I would sit by the table and wait eagerly. Back then I just thought the super long noodles were fun, and I loved the soft texture and tasty soup. It felt like a special treat for me.

中文对照： 我小时候也最喜欢长寿面。每次奶奶给家里人做寿煮面，我都会坐在桌子边眼巴巴等着。那时候我只觉得长长的面条特别有意思，也很喜欢软乎乎的口感和鲜美的汤底，对我来说就像一份特别的奖励。

Yes, definitely. We Chinese have specific foods for different festivals and occasions. For example, we definitely eat longevity noodles on birthdays and elderly people’s birthday banquets. Besides, I prefer cold noodles in hot summer and warm noodle soup in cold winter. It makes eating feel more suitable for the weather.

中文对照： 当然是的。我们中国人不同节日、不同场合都有对应的食物。比如过生日、给长辈祝寿的时候，一定会吃长寿面。除此之外，夏天天热我更爱吃凉面，冬天冷就吃热汤面，这样吃起来更贴合时节。

英文： Well, the food itself hasn’t changed — I still love longevity noodles the most. But the reason I like it is a little different. When I was a kid, I only cared about the taste, but now I more value the meaning behind it. It’s not just food; it’s a way to send good wishes to my family. So I like it even more now than before.

中文对照： 其实食物本身没变，我还是最喜欢长寿面。但我喜欢它的原因有点不一样了。小时候我只在乎味道好不好吃，现在我更看重它背后的意义。它不只是食物，更是给家人传递祝福的方式。所以我现在比小时候更喜欢它了。

14.Sports team [old]

2) Is team sports popular in your culture?

It’s a great way to make friends and stay fit at the same time. 中文 当然很流行。篮球、足球在国内年轻人里特别火。除此之外，很多中老年人会一起跳广场舞，这也算一种集体活动。既能交朋友，又能锻炼身体。

What’s more, there are constant unexpected twists during the game, and the teamwork between players always inspires me a lot. 中文 我很喜欢看篮球赛这类团队赛事。赛场的氛围特别热烈。而且比赛过程总有各种反转，球员之间互相配合的样子也总能给我很多鼓舞。

4) What are the differences between team sports and individual sports?

English The biggest difference lies in cooperation. Team sports require constant communication with partners to win, while individual sports only rely on your own skills and self-discipline. You won’t need to rely on anyone else when you take part in solo sports. 中文 最大的区别在于协作。团队运动需要和队友不断沟通配合才能取胜，而单人运动只依靠自身技术和自律，不需要依赖其他人。

Have you ever been part of a sports team? Yes, I was on my class basketball team when I was in high school. I played as a guard, and we practiced together after school almost every day. We also took part in several school-level matches.

What are the differences between team sports and individual sports? Well, the biggest difference is that team sports require good communication and cooperation with teammates — you can’t win alone. But individual sports depend more on your own skills and self-discipline, and you only focus on your own performance.

中文：嗯，最大的区别是团队运动需要和队友良好的沟通与配合，没法单靠自己赢下比赛。但个人运动更多取决于自身的技术和自律，你只需要专注于自己的表现就好。

15.Scenery [old]

1) Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?

English Sure, I absolutely do. Whenever I take a bus or drive somewhere, I love staring out the window to watch the changing views. It’s a perfect way to kill time and unwind from tired travel, instead of staring at my phone the whole trip. 中文 当然会。不管坐公交还是坐车出行，我都喜欢望向窗外看沿途不断变化的风景。这是打发旅途时间、放松身心的好办法，不用全程盯着手机。

2) Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

English I’m more into the sea. The wide ocean makes me feel peaceful and free. When I walk along the beach and listen to the waves, all my study stress just disappears. Mountain climbing is fun too, but it usually makes me exhausted. 中文 我更喜欢大海。辽阔的海面会让我感到平静又自在。走在沙滩上听海浪声的时候，所有学习压力都会消散。爬山虽然也有意思，但总会让我很累。

3) Do you like to take scenery pictures?

English Yes, I really enjoy capturing natural scenery with my phone. Whenever I come across amazing views, I take photos to record those precious moments. Later I can look back at the pictures and recall happy travel memories easily. 中文 我很喜欢用手机拍风景。每次遇见绝美的景色，我都会拍照记录珍贵瞬间。之后翻看照片，就能轻松回忆起开心的旅行时光。

4) What are the most beautiful sights you have seen while travelling?

English The coastal sunset I saw in Xiamen impressed me most. The sky turned orange and pink above the sea, and the soft wind felt so comfortable. That breathtaking view has stayed in my mind ever since that trip. 中文 厦门海边的日落是我见过最美的景色。海面上方的天空铺满橘粉色霞光，轻柔的海风特别舒服，那次震撼的美景我一直记到现在。

16.Views [old]

1) Do you like taking pictures of different views?

These pictures help me store wonderful travel memories and cheer me up when I’m stressed from study. 中文 当然，出门时我很喜欢拍摄各种各样的风景。我手机随身携带，只要看到好看的景色，就会拍好几张。这些照片帮我留存美好的旅行回忆，学习压力大的时候翻看也能让我心情变好。

2) Do you prefer views in urban areas or rural areas?

English It depends. If I want to relax and escape noise, I love rural scenery with green hills and clear rivers. But city views with skyscrapers and bright night lights also attract me a lot when I want to feel energetic and lively. 中文 分情况。如果我想远离喧嚣放松自己，我偏爱有青山清水的乡村风光；但当我想要热闹有活力的氛围时，布满高楼、灯火璀璨的城市景色也十分吸引我。

3) Do you prefer views in your own country or in other countries?

English I prefer landscapes in China without doubt. Our country has diverse natural views, from coastal shores to high mountains, plus unique ancient architecture. Every place carries our local culture, which feels more touching to me than foreign sights. 中文 毫无疑问我更喜欢国内的风景。我们国家自然风光多种多样，海岸、高山应有尽有，还有独特古建筑。每一处景色都承载本土文化，相比国外风景更能打动我。

4) Have you seen an unforgettable and beautiful view or scenery?

17.Childhood activities [old]

What were your favouritre activities

When

1) What were your favourite activities?

English When I was little, my favourite activity was flying kites in the community park. Every spring, I would go there with my neighbours after school. Running with a kite in the wind helped me release all my childish energy and brought me simple joy. 中文 小时候我最喜欢的活动是去小区公园放风筝。每年春天放学后，我都会和邻居小伙伴去那里。迎着风奔跑放风筝，能释放所有活力，带给我简单纯粹的快乐。

2) What were your favourite activities when you were a child?

English I loved playing hide-and-seek outdoors the most. After finishing homework, all the kids nearby would gather together to play until dusk. It was cheap and fun, and I didn’t need any fancy toys to have a great time. 中文 我小时候最爱在户外玩捉迷藏。写完作业后，附近所有小朋友都会凑在一起玩到天黑。这项游戏成本很低，特别有意思，不需要昂贵的玩具就能玩得很开心。

3) Did you prefer to do activities alone or with a group of people when you were a child?

English I definitely preferred playing with a group of kids back then. Group games like hide-and-seek or relay races were far more interesting. Playing alone always felt boring and quiet to me when I was young. 中文 小时候我肯定更喜欢和一群小伙伴一起玩。捉迷藏、接力这类集体游戏有趣得多。对小时候的我来说，一个人玩会特别枯燥冷清。

4) Are there any differences between the activities you liked when you were a child and those you like now?

English Yes, huge differences. As a kid, I loved noisy outdoor group games. But nowadays, I tend to choose quiet solo activities like walking along the river or reading books, because I need a peaceful way to relax from heavy study pressure. 中文 差别非常大。小时候我喜欢热闹的户外集体游戏，但现在我更偏爱安静的单人活动，比如江边散步、看书，繁重的学习压力下，我需要安静的方式放松自己。

EVEVT

Yes, I quite enjoy singing, especially when I hang out with friends at  -+KTV. It’s a really relaxing way to let off steam after a busy week, and it’s fun to sing along to my favourite songs together. I’m not skilled at it, but I don’t mind as long as I’m having a good time.

Chinese: 是的，我挺喜欢唱歌的，尤其是和朋友一起的时候。在我看来，唱歌是释放压力的好方式。

No, I’ve never taken professional lessons to learn singing systematically. I just pick up songs by listening to them on my phone and imitate the singers casually. I’ve never focused on skills like breath control or pitch accuracy, since I only sing for fun.

Chinese: 没有，我从来没上过专业课程系统学唱歌。我只是随便唱的，就是和朋友一起唱比较开心就是了。

Honestly, I mostly sing for myself and my close friends. I’d feel really nervous singing in front of strangers, so I prefer to sing only around people I’m comfortable with. If I had to name a special group, I’d sing for my family on small occasions like birthday dinners.

Chinese: 说实话，如果要唱歌的话，我是像给家人唱歌。我认为这是一种给家人表达爱的方式

Absolutely, I totally agree. Singing allows people to let out their emotions, whether they’re cheerful or upset. An upbeat song can lift your mood quickly, and even a soft tune can calm you down when you’re feeling low. It’s also a nice way to bond with others and create happy shared memories.

Chinese: 当然，我完全同意。唱歌能让人们抒发情绪，不管开心还是难过都适用。节奏欢快的歌能很快让人心情变好，就算情绪低落，轻柔的旋律也能让人平复下来。同时唱歌也是拉近距离、创造共同美好回忆的好方式。

Yes, I do, as long as they’re not extremely off-key. I especially enjoy listening to people who sing with real feelings, even if their voice isn’t perfect. When I go to KTV with friends, I often sit back and listen to them sing their favourite songs — it feels like I get to know them a little better that way.

Chinese: 喜欢，只要不是跑调太严重就行。我尤其 喜欢听带着真情实感唱歌的人，哪怕嗓音不算完美。和朋友去 KTV 的时候，我经常坐在一旁听他们唱自己喜欢的歌，感觉能通过这种方式更了解他们一点。

No, I’ve never taken a formal singing class before. I’ve watched some short tutorial videos online occasionally, but they were just basic tips and I never stuck with them. For me, singing is just a casual hobby, so I don’t feel the need to take professional training.

Chinese: 没有，我从来没上过正式的唱歌课。我偶尔在网上看过一些教学短视频，但都只是基础技巧，也没坚持学下去。对我来说唱歌只是个休闲爱好，没必要去接受专业训练。

Um, actually, to be honest, I'm not good at telling jokes. Uh, because because of my characters, Uh, but I like to hear my friend tell joke to me.

Yeah, most of my friends really enjoy telling jokes, especially when we hang out together. Some of them are pretty good at coming up with silly puns and dad jokes, which always lighten the mood whenever we’re having dinner or just chatting. To be honest, quite a few of their jokes are really corny, but we still laugh a lot — it’s more about having fun together than how funny the joke actually is.

中文对照： 是的，我的大多数朋友都很喜欢讲笑话，尤其是我们凑在一起的时候。他们当中有些人很擅长说些无厘头的谐音梗和老派冷笑话，每次我们吃饭或是闲聊时都能把气氛带动起来。说实话，他们好多笑话其实挺尬的，但我们还是笑得很开心 —— 重点是一起玩乐的氛围，而不是笑话本身有多好笑。

I’m quite into watching comedies, actually. I usually watch sitcoms and comedy films in my free time, because they’re such a great way to unwind after a long day of study. I’m not a big fan of slapstick comedies that rely only on physical humour; I prefer comedies with smart dialogue and clever plot twists. Watching a good comedy always cheers me up when I feel stressed.

中文对照： 其实我挺喜欢看喜剧的。我空闲的时候常看情景喜剧和喜剧电影，因为学习了一整天之后，看喜剧是特别好的放松方式。我不太喜欢只靠肢体搞笑的闹剧，更偏爱台词有巧思、剧情有精妙反转的作品。当我觉得有压力的时候，看一部好喜剧总能让我开心起来。

Band 6.5 回答： Yes, I have. I went to a stand-up comedy live show with my friends last year at a small theatre in the city centre. It was much more enjoyable than watching comedy clips online, because the atmosphere was fantastic — the whole room was laughing together, and the performers even interacted with the audience in the front rows. Some jokes felt a bit awkward live, but it was still a really fun and memorable experience overall.

中文对照： 有的。去年我和朋友去市中心的一家小剧场看过一场脱口秀现场演出。这比在网上看喜剧片段有意思多了，现场氛围特别棒 —— 全场观众一起笑，演员还会和前排观众互动。有些段子现场听会有点尴尬，但总的来说还是一次很有趣、很难忘的体验。

Band 6.5 回答： Definitely, comedy shows are super popular in China. You can find all kinds of comedy content everywhere, from short funny videos on social media to popular comedy variety shows on TV. In recent years, stand-up comedy and sketch shows have become really trendy among young people, while traditional forms like cross-talk are still loved by older generations. I think they’re popular because most people are under quite a lot of pressure these days, and comedy is an easy and accessible way to relax.

中文对照： 当然，喜剧节目在中国非常受欢迎。随处都能看到各种各样的喜剧内容，从社交媒体上的搞笑短视频，到电视上热门的喜剧综艺。最近几年，脱口秀和小品在年轻人当中特别流行，而相声这类传统喜剧形式依然很受长辈喜爱。我觉得它们这么火，是因为现在大多数人生活压力都不小，喜剧是一种简单又方便的放松方式。

1. Do you walk a lot?

英文模板 Yes, I walk quite a lot every day. My campus is quite large, so walking between classrooms, the canteen and dormitory takes me at least half an hour a day. Recently I’ve also tried something called a “Color Walk”, where I pick a color and spot things of that color during my stroll. It makes walking much more interesting.

中文对照 是的，我每天都走不少路。我的校园很大，每天往返教室、食堂和宿舍至少要花半小时。最近我还尝试了一种叫 “色彩漫步” 的活动，选一种颜色，散步的时候找同色的事物，让走路变得有意思多了。

2. Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?

英文模板 When I was a kid, I used to go outside for a walk almost every day after finishing my homework. It was in the small park near my home that I usually walked with my grandmother. I enjoyed it a lot because I could breathe fresh air and watch birds and flowers along the way.

中文对照 我小时候几乎每天写完作业都会出去散步。我一般和奶奶一起去家附近的小公园。我特别喜欢散步，因为能呼吸新鲜空气，还能沿路看小鸟和花草。

3. Why do people like to walk in parks?

英文模板 I think there are two main reasons. First of all, parks have lots of trees and fresh air, which is a great way for people to relax and get away from the noisy city. In addition, walking in parks is a mild form of exercise, suitable for people of all ages, like elderly people and families with kids.

中文对照 我觉得主要有两个原因。首先，公园里树木多、空气好，是人们放松身心、远离城市喧嚣的好方式。此外，在公园散步是一种很温和的运动，适合各个年龄段的人，比如老人和带孩子的家庭。

4.shopping

Actually, it depends I don’t like crowded shopping malls on weekends,but I quite enjoy online shopping in my free time.As for me, it’s super convenient because it never takes me too much time.

ABSTRACT

Yes, I’ve been to several historical museums. For example, I visited Fujian Museum last year, and there were lots of ancient relics and exhibitions about local history. It was really interesting to see real objects from the past. 中文：是的，我去过好几个历史博物馆。比如我去年去了福建博物院，里面有很多古代文物和关于地方历史的展览。能看到来自过去的真实物件，特别有意思。

Yes, I quite like history, especially modern Chinese history. I think learning history helps us understand how society developed, and we can also learn useful lessons from past events. It broadens my mind. 中文：是的，我挺喜欢历史的，尤其是中国近现代史。我觉得学历史能帮我们理解社会是如何发展的，我们也能从过去的事件里学到有用的经验。它能拓宽我的眼界。

Let me see, the last time was probably last month. I watched a documentary about ancient Chinese architecture online, and then I read some articles to learn more about the history behind those buildings. 中文：我想想，上次大概是上个月。我在网上看了一部关于中国古建筑的纪录片，然后我读了一些文章，去了解更多这些建筑背后的历史。

Not really, to be honest. When I was a kid, I thought history was just about memorising lots of dates and names, which felt really boring. I started to enjoy it when I got into high school. 中文：说实话，不太喜欢。我小时候觉得历史就是要背很多日期和人名，感觉特别无聊。我上高中之后才开始喜欢历史。

Let off steam

1. Do you have any hobbies?

英文 Yes, I do. My main hobby is hiking, which I usually do on weekends with a couple of friends. I’ve kept this habit for about two years. It’s a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and let off steam after a busy week of study. Besides, it helps me stay fit without going to a crowded gym.

中文对照 是的，我有爱好。我主要的爱好是徒步，通常周末会和几个朋友一起去。我保持这个习惯大概两年了。这是逃离城市喧嚣、在一周忙碌学习后释放压力的好方式。而且不用去拥挤的健身房就能锻炼身体。

2. Did you have any hobbies when you were a child?

英文 Yes, I was a huge fan of jigsaw puzzles when I was a kid. Every weekend, I would spend three or four hours working on a puzzle alone in my room. I still remember the huge sense of achievement I felt when I put the last piece in place. It was really satisfying to finish a whole picture by myself.

中文对照 有的，我小时候特别喜欢拼图。每个周末我都会在自己房间里花三四个小时拼拼图。我至今还记得放上最后一块拼图时那种巨大的成就感。靠自己完成一整幅画的感觉特别满足。

3. Do you have a hobby that you've kept since childhood?

英文 Definitely. I’ve been fond of reading since I was a little kid. Back then, I mainly read cartoon books and fairy tales, but now I’m more into popular science books and biographies. It not only gives me a perfect break from my daily study stress, but also broadens my knowledge little by little.

中文对照 当然有。我从小就喜欢阅读。那时候我主要看漫画书和童话故事，但现在我更喜欢科普书和人物传记。它不仅能让我从日常学习压力中好好放松，还能一点点拓宽我的知识面。

4. Do you have the same hobbies as your family members?

英文 Not really. My parents prefer quiet activities like drinking tea and watching TV at home, while I like outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. But we do share one common hobby: watching comedy movies together during holidays. It’s a nice way for us to spend quality family time.

中文对照 不太一样。我爸妈更喜欢喝茶、在家看电视这类安静的活动，而我喜欢徒步、骑行这类户外活动。但我们有一个共同爱好：节假日一起看喜剧电影。这是我们享受优质家庭时光的好方式。

Sample:

I'd like to talk about Shanghai Tower, which is one of the most famous landmarks in China.

 It is mainly used as an office building, but it also contains a luxury hotel, restaurants, exhibition areas, and one of the highest observation decks in the world. It is located in the Lujiazui Financial District in Shanghai, surrounded by many modern skyscrapers.

What makes this building stand out is its unique appearance. It has a spiral design that twists gently as it rises into the sky, making it look elegant and futuristic. Since it is over 600 metres tall, it can easily be seen from many parts of the city. At night, the building is beautifully lit up, creating an amazing view along the Huangpu River.

I had the chance to visit Shanghai Tower a couple of years ago with my family. We went up to the observation deck, and the view of the whole city was absolutely breathtaking. It was exciting to see so many famous buildings from above.

The reason I like this building is not only because of its impressive height but also because it represents China's rapid economic development and modern engineering. Whenever I see pictures of it, I feel proud of how much the country has achieved. If I have the opportunity, I'd definitely like to visit it again in the future.

我想聊聊上海中心大厦，它是中国最知名的地标建筑之一。这栋楼主要用作写字楼，同时内部设有豪华酒店、多家餐厅、展览厅，还有全球海拔最高的观景台之一。大厦坐落于上海陆家嘴金融中心，四周林立着众多现代化摩天大楼。

这栋建筑最与众不同的地方是它独特的外形。整座大楼呈螺旋造型，缓缓盘旋向上延伸至天际，外观优雅又充满未来感。建筑高度超 600 米，在城市多处都能一眼望见。夜晚时分，楼宇灯光璀璨，沿黄浦江勾勒出绝美的夜景。

几年前，我和家人有幸前去参观。我们登上了顶层观景台，整座城市的全景尽收眼底，景色美得令人窒息。从高空俯瞰一座座知名建筑，那种体验让人十分激动。

我喜欢这座大楼，不只是因为它雄伟的高度，更因为它象征着中国飞速的经济发展与顶尖工程技术。每次看到它的照片，我都会为国家取得的发展成就感到自豪。如果以后有机会，我一定想再去一次。

• 复用逻辑：推荐的地方 = 上海，上海中心是必打卡的核心亮点
• 开头扣题：The place I’d like to recommend is Shanghai, a modern city in eastern China, and Shanghai Tower is the must-see spot there.
• 中间衔接：讲完上海的整体印象后，自然带出上海中心的细节（位置、外观、登楼体验），作为推荐的核心理由之一
• 结尾点题：The amazing view from Shanghai Tower alone makes the whole trip worth it, so I totally recommend visiting Shanghai.

I’d like to talk about residential flats in Hong Kong, a place I absolutely love to travel to, yet I would never plan to settle down there permanently.

Hong Kong is unbelievably stunning. The combination of towering skyscrapers and Victoria Harbour creates world-famous sea views. Whenever I wander along the waterfront or climb up viewing platforms, I’m totally shocked by the breathtaking city scenery. It mixes modern glamour with unique local culture, and the delicious street food also makes every trip full of fun. I really enjoy spending short holidays here to sightsee and experience its special vibe.

Even so, I refuse to live here long-term, mainly due to its crazy housing prices and sky-high living expenses. First of all, the accommodation cost is ridiculous. Most local flats are tiny and cramped, but they cost an unbelievable amount of money to rent or buy. A small apartment would take up most of a person’s monthly salary.

Besides daily housing fees, everything else is pricey too. Groceries, transportation and dining out all cost far more than in mainland cities. As a student focusing on study, I cannot afford such heavy financial pressure at all.

I love visiting Hong Kong for its amazing views and rich culture, and every short trip leaves me wonderful memories. However, the extremely high cost of living makes it unsuitable for me to stay here for good. That’s why I only want to come for travel instead of making it my permanent home.

中文翻译

我想聊聊香港的住宅，这是一个我非常喜欢去旅行，但绝不会打算长期定居的地方。

香港的景色美得无与伦比，林立摩天大楼搭配维多利亚港构成举世闻名的海景。每当我沿着海滨漫步、登上观景台，都会被震撼的城市风光深深打动。这里融合了现代繁华与独特本土文化，各式地道街头小吃也让每一趟旅途充满乐趣。我很喜欢在这里度过短途假期，观光感受独特氛围。

即便如此，我不会长期居住在这里，核心原因就是离谱的房价与高昂生活开支。首先住房成本高得夸张，当地大部分住宅狭小拥挤，但是租房、买房 的价格都高到难以置信，一套小小的公寓就要花掉一个人大部分月薪。

除去住房开销，其余日常消费也全都很贵：买菜、通勤、外出就餐，花销都远超内地城市。作为一名专注学业的学生，我完全承担不起这样巨大的经济压力。

我很喜欢去香港，欣赏绝美的风景、感受多元文化，每一次短途旅行都能留下美好回忆。但过高的生活成本让这里不适合我长久生活，所以我只想前来游玩，不会把这里当作常住之地。

Part 3

English

Well, I think it depends on how close people are. For close family members and long-time friends, Chinese people really enjoy visiting each other’s homes. It feels warmer and more relaxing than meeting in a restaurant or café. We usually chat over home-cooked meals and spend casual time together. Visiting relatives’ homes is also a must-do tradition during festivals like the Spring Festival. However, for colleagues or casual acquaintances, most Chinese people prefer to meet in public places instead. Home is seen as a very private space, so we don’t easily invite people we are not very close to. Many young people also prefer hanging out outside rather than gathering at someone’s home.

中文翻译

我觉得这要看人与人之间的亲近程度。 对于关系亲近的家人和老朋友，中国人很喜欢互相串门。比起在餐厅、咖啡馆见面，在家相处会更温馨、更放松。我们通常会边吃家常菜边聊天，悠闲地度过时间。在春节这类节日里，走亲访友更是一项必不可少的传统习俗。 但对于同事或者交情不深的人，大多数中国人更愿意在公共场所见面。家被看作是非常私密的空间，所以我们不会轻易邀请关系一般的人上门。很多年轻人也更偏爱出门聚会，而不是在某个人家里相聚。

• 复用逻辑：空闲时想再去上海中心登楼，把它当作放松休闲的目的地
• 开头扣题：The place I’d like to visit in my free time is Shanghai Tower. I went there once a few years ago, and I’ve always wanted to go back.
• 中间保留：建筑外观、夜景、观景台的体验都可以沿用，再加一句 “平时学业忙，想找个周末去放松看城市风景”
• 结尾点题：It’s a perfect spot to slow down and enjoy city views, so it’s top of my list for free time trips.

Lying in the southwestern part of China, Yunnan is a charming province that boasts有（值得自豪的东西） breathtaking natural scenery and rich ethnic cultures.

Since it borders接壤 several Southeast Asian countries, it has long been an important bridge for cultural and economic exchanges between China and neighbouring nations.

Even though it is situated in a subtropical region, its diverse landforms create varied weather conditions across different areas within Yunnan.

Thus it remains one of the most popular travel destinations favored by tourists from all over the world.

What makes this place so appealing is   its profound historical heritage, enabling visitors to dive into a totally foreign civilization.

Apart from amazing scenery, I’m also eager to sample尝试 various local dishes, as I’m obsessed with exploring diverse food cultures.

The reason why this destination stands out to me is that it allows me to take part in unique activities that are unavailable domestically, such as … …

PEOPLE

Speaking of a person who loves to grow plants, I’d like to talk about my aunt, who works as a nurse in a local hospital. She’s in her late 40s, and I’ve known her since I was a little kid. Actually, she’s been growing plants on her balcony for about five years.

She mainly grows easy-to-maintain vegetables, like spinach, cherry tomatoes and spring onions. Sometimes she also grows a few pots of flowers, such as jasmine and sunflowers. Her balcony is filled with all kinds of recycled containers, like foam boxes and used yogurt cups. Basically, she has turned her small balcony into a lovely mini farm.

She takes good care of those plants every day. She waters them regularly every morning, and makes sure they get enough sunlight. She also prepares nutrient-rich soil and checks for pests from time to time. Honestly, she treats those plants just like her own babies.

As for why she enjoys growing plants, there are several reasons. Firstly, it’s a great way for her to relax after busy work. Unlike scrolling through short videos on her phone, growing plants is much healthier and helps her leave all work stress behind. In addition, home-grown vegetables are more organic and safe, because she never uses any pesticides. Most importantly, she gets a strong sense of achievement when she harvests the vegetables. She always shares the fresh food with our family, which makes her feel really satisfied.

中文对照 说到热爱种植的人，我想聊聊我的阿姨，她在当地一家医院当护士。她快 50 岁了，我从小就认识她。实际上，她在阳台上种菜已经有五年左右了。

她主要种一些好养活的蔬菜，比如菠菜、小番茄和小葱。有时候她也种几盆花，比如茉莉和向日葵。她的阳台上摆满了各种回收利用的容器，比如泡沫箱和用过的酸奶杯。基本上，她已经把小小的阳台改成了一个可爱的小菜园。

她每天都悉心照料这些植物。每天早上她都会按时浇水，确保植物得到充足的阳光。她还会调配营养丰富的土壤，时不时检查有没有虫害。说实话，她对待这些植物就像对待自己的孩子一样。

至于她为什么喜欢种植，有几个原因。首先，这是她忙碌工作后放松的好方式。和刷手机短视频不一样，种植物健康得多，还能帮她把工作压力都抛在脑后。其次，自己种的蔬菜更有机、更安全，因为她从来不用农药。最重要的是，收获蔬菜的时候她会有很强的成就感。她总把新鲜的菜分给我们家人，这让她觉得特别满足。

One person I know who has a very successful business is Elon Musk. Although I haven't met him in person, I've learned a lot about him through books, documentaries, interviews, and social media. He's someone I really admire because of his creativity and determination.

Elon Musk started several companies, but the one that impressed me the most is Tesla, which produces electric vehicles. He believed that clean energy would become the future of transportation, so he invested a huge amount of time and money in developing advanced electric cars. Later, he also expanded his business into space exploration through SpaceX and other technology projects.

I think his business is successful for several reasons. First of all, his companies provide innovative products that solve real-world problems, such as reducing pollution and making space travel more affordable. Secondly, he's willing to take risks and keeps improving his products instead of being satisfied with what he has achieved. Thanks to his vision and leadership, his companies have become world-famous and have influenced many industries.

Overall, I think Elon Musk is not only a successful businessman but also someone who has changed the way people think about technology and the future.

Well, uh, when is talking to the person did something to help me solve a problem? is remind me of my recollections. I, uh, take part in the competitions with my teammate before. And that person is my professors. Uh, when we are take part in, took part in the competition before, uh, we have the team programs in dealing with the signal signal technology problem. And this is a key point to the success in our team. Uh, so we find find professional to help me and give me some suggestions and a profession point, Uh, point point to the problem. Uh, clearly and tell. Tell us the, uh, specifics way to to deal with this problem. And after that, we successfully deal with this problem and get the first price in the competition. And, uh, about this feeling about the list. parents, I'm very apprecimate to the professional that, uh, who? who want to help help our team? Um, he's my dear teacher. I like him very much.

OBJECTS

I’d like to introduce a new law to regulate single-use plastic tableware in the food delivery industry in my country.

The law has two main rules. First, all restaurants and delivery platforms cannot include disposable chopsticks, spoons or straws in orders by default. Customers have to select the option themselves if they need tableware, and they will pay a small extra fee for it. Second, all takeaway food boxes must be made of degradable materials instead of regular plastic. Businesses that don’t follow the rule will get fined.

I want to introduce this law mainly because of the huge plastic waste problem. Food delivery is extremely popular in China now, with millions of orders placed every single day. Most plastic tableware is used only once and then thrown away. It takes hundreds of years to decompose, pollutes soil and rivers, and even endangers wild animals. Also, a lot of customers receive tableware they don’t actually need, which is a total waste of resources.

I believe this law will make a big difference. The small fee will remind people to think twice before asking for disposable items, and more people may start carrying their own reusable chopsticks. It will also cut down plastic waste greatly and encourage more companies to develop eco-friendly packaging. It might take a while for people to get used to the new rule, but it will be really beneficial for the environment in the long term.

中文对照

我想在我国推行一项规范外卖行业一次性塑料餐具使用的新法律。

这项法律主要有两项规定。首先，所有餐厅和外卖平台不得默认在订单里附赠一次性筷子、勺子和吸管。顾客如果需要餐具，必须自行勾选选项，并且要支付少量额外费用。其次，所有外卖餐盒必须使用可降解材料制作，不得使用普通塑料。不遵守规定的商家会被处以罚款。

我想推行这项法律，主要是因为塑料浪费问题非常严重。如今外卖在中国格外普及，每天都有数百万份订单产生。大部分塑料餐具只用一次就被丢弃，需要数百年才能降解，会污染土壤与河流，甚至危及野生动物。此外，很多顾客会收到自己根本用不上的餐具，完全是资源浪费。

我认为这项法律会带来显著的积极影响。少量的费用会提醒人们在索要一次性用品前三思，也会有更多人开始随身携带可重复使用的餐具。它还能大幅减少塑料垃圾，激励更多企业研发环保包装。虽然人们可能需要一段时间适应新规定，但长远来看对环境十分有益。

Law:

Full driverless technology

Younger than 16 years old — not allowed to use social media

use biodegradable plastic bags and cups/disposable dishware一次性餐具

government — give subsidies and reduce tax — EVs (electric vehicles)

Sample:

I'd like to introduce a law that requires all shops, restaurants, and supermarkets to use biodegradable plastic bags and cups instead of traditional plastic ones. The main goal is to reduce plastic pollution and encourage people to live in a more environmentally friendly way.

If this law is introduced, businesses would gradually replace single-use plastic products with biodegradable alternatives. Although it might increase costs at the beginning, I believe people would get used to it over time. In the long run, it would help reduce waste, protect wildlife, and improve the environment for future generations.

I think this law would be quite popular, especially among young people, because environmental protection has become an important issue.

I came up with this idea after seeing so much plastic waste in parks, rivers, and on beaches. It made me realize that small changes in our daily lives can make a big difference.

Overall, I strongly support this law because it is practical, meaningful, and beneficial for both people and the planet. Even though it may require some adjustments at first, I believe it is a necessary step toward a cleaner and more sustainable future.

One special food I’d like to talk about is longevity noodles, which are a classic traditional Chinese dish. They are mainly eaten on birthdays, especially for elder family members, because they stand for the wish of a long and healthy life.

The noodles are made of wheat flour, and there is an important tradition that they should be kept as long as possible instead of being cut into short pieces. They are usually cooked in a light soup with vegetables, eggs, and sometimes beef or seafood. Although the recipe is not very complicated, people care a lot about how they look, since the long noodles are the symbol of longevity.

In my family, we always make this dish whenever someone has a birthday. We sit around the table, enjoy the meal together, and wish the birthday person good health and happiness. I think this tradition is very meaningful, because it shows the love and care between family members. Even though there are all kinds of delicious food nowadays, longevity noodles are still an important part of Chinese culture. They remind us that food is not just about taste, but also about sending good wishes and bringing families closer.

中文对照 我想讲的一种特色食物是长寿面，它是中国一道经典的传统美食。人们主要在生日的时候吃它，尤其是给家里的长辈，因为它代表着对健康长寿的祝愿。

长寿面用小麦粉制作，有一个很重要的传统，就是面条要尽量保持完整绵长，不能切成小段。通常用清淡的汤底烹煮，配上蔬菜、鸡蛋，有时候也会加牛肉或者海鲜。虽然做法不算复杂，但人们很在意成品的样子，因为长长的面条就是长寿的象征。

在我家，只要有人过生日，我们一定会做这道菜。大家围坐在桌旁一起吃饭，给寿星送上健康快乐的祝福。我觉得这个传统特别有意义，因为它承载着家人之间的爱与关心。尽管现在有各种各样的美食，长寿面依然是中国文化里重要的一部分。它提醒我们，食物不只是用来品尝的，也用来传递美好祝愿，让家人之间更亲密。

1) Why are there special foods on special occasions or events?

English: I think there are two main reasons. First, most special foods carry strong cultural and symbolic meanings. For example, in China, people eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival to represent family reunion, and eat dumplings at the Spring Festival for good fortune. These foods have almost become a symbol of the festival itself. Second, special foods help pass down traditions from generation to generation. They create a sense of ritual and make the occasion more memorable. When families gather to make and eat these foods together, it also strengthens family bonds and creates shared memories. Besides, many festival foods carry wishes for a better life — for example, eating niangao (rice cake) stands for rising fortune and progress in the coming year.

中文： 我认为主要有两方面原因。首先，大多数特殊食物都承载着浓厚的文化象征意义。比如在中国，中秋节吃月饼代表阖家团圆，春节吃饺子寓意吉祥顺遂，这些食物几乎成了节日本身的符号。其次，特殊食物是代际传承传统的载体，它们能营造仪式感，让特殊的日子更有纪念意义。一家人聚在一起制作、分享这些食物的过程，也能增进亲情，留下共同的回忆。除此之外，很多节日食物还寄托了人们对美好生活的期许，比如吃年糕是期盼来年运势步步高升。

2) What are the differences between everyday food and festival food?

English: There are several clear differences. To start with, everyday food is usually simple and time-saving. Most of the time, people cook quick home dishes just to satisfy their hunger, focusing on convenience and basic nutrition. Festival food, by contrast, is much more elaborate and complex. It often takes a long time to prepare, with more dishes and richer flavours. What's more, daily meals have no special cultural meaning — they only meet basic dietary needs. Almost all festival foods, on the other hand, have symbolic meanings, such as wishes for good luck or family unity. Finally, everyday meals are eaten casually, while festival food is usually shared with the whole family in a more formal and joyful atmosphere.

中文： 二者有几个非常明显的区别。首先，日常饮食通常简单省时，大多数时候人们做些快手家常菜填饱肚子即可，更看重方便和基础营养。与之相对，节日食物要精致复杂得多，往往需要花费很长时间准备，菜品更丰富，口味也更隆重。其次，日常饭菜没有特殊的文化内涵，只是满足基本饮食需求；而几乎所有节日食物都有象征寓意，比如祈求好运、阖家团圆。最后，日常吃饭的氛围很随意，节日食物则通常是全家人共享，氛围更正式、更有喜庆感。

3) Are there any differences between the food people eat today and the food people ate in the past?

English: Yes, there are huge differences. First of all, the variety of food is much wider now. In the past, people could only eat local, seasonal ingredients, but today, thanks to global trade and developed logistics, we can buy food from all over the world at any time of year. Second, eating habits have changed. Decades ago, almost every family cooked all meals at home, and the main goal was simply to be full. Now people care more about health, food safety and balanced nutrition, and many choose takeaways or eat out due to busy work schedules. Also, international cuisines are widely available today — like Japanese sushi, Italian pizza and Mexican food — all of which were very rare in China many years ago.

中文： 是的，差异非常大。首先，如今的食物种类丰富了太多。过去人们只能吃到本地的应季食材，但现在得益于全球贸易和发达的物流，我们一年四季都能买到来自世界各地的食物。其次，人们的饮食习惯发生了变化。几十年前几乎家家户户都自己做饭，饮食只求吃饱；但现在人们更看重健康、食品安全和营养均衡，很多人也因为工作忙碌，会选择外卖或者外出就餐。除此之外，现在能吃到的国际料理也多了很多，比如日式寿司、意大利披萨、墨西哥菜，这些在多年前的中国都非常少见。

4) Do people today prefer eating at home or in a restaurant?

English: I think it depends on the situation and age group. On workdays, most young people prefer eating out or ordering takeaways, because they are busy with work and have no time to cook. Restaurants are more convenient and save them a lot of time. But on weekends or holidays, many people would rather cook at home, especially when they are with their families. Home-cooked food is healthier and more comfortable, and it creates a warmer family atmosphere. Also, for social occasions like friend gatherings or business dinners, people definitely choose restaurants, as they are more suitable for group events. Generally speaking, older people prefer home cooking more, while young people eat out more often.

中文： 我认为这要看具体场景和年龄段。工作日的时候，大部分年轻人更喜欢外出就餐或者点外卖，因为工作繁忙没有时间做饭，餐馆更方便，能节省大量时间。但到了周末或者节假日，很多人更愿意在家做饭，尤其是和家人相处的时候，家常菜更健康、吃得更舒心，也更有温馨的家庭氛围。另外，像朋友聚会、商务宴请这类社交场合，人们肯定会选择餐厅，更适合多人社交。总体来说，年长者更偏爱在家吃饭，年轻人外出就餐的频率更高。

适配思路：讲一部讲述中国家庭春节团圆的温情电影，电影里有大量全家一起包饺子、吃年夜饭的情节，你通过电影更深刻理解了饺子承载的团圆意义。原有素材可以作为电影的核心情节展开。

开头切入句：I’d like to talk about a warm family movie I watched last month. The story is about a Chinese family celebrating the Spring Festival, and there are many warm scenes of family members making dumplings together.

I’d like to talk about Coco, an animated movie I watched with my cousin last month during the summer holiday. We watched it at home on a streaming platform, since we didn’t want to go out in the hot summer weather.

The movie is set in Mexico, and it tells the story of a young boy named Miguel. He dreams of becoming a musician, but his family has banned music for generations. One day, he accidentally enters the Land of the Dead on the Day of the Dead. There, he meets a trickster named Hector, who helps him uncover the secret history of his family. After a series of warm adventures, Miguel finally returns home and helps his family reconcile with music.

There are several reasons why I really enjoyed this movie. Firstly, the plot is really touching and full of warm details. The theme about family and memory really resonated with me, and I even teared up a little at the ending. Secondly, the visual effects are amazing. The colorful Land of the Dead and the delicate character designs are really impressive. Most importantly, it teaches me that the people we love never really leave us as long as we remember them. It’s a simple but powerful message.

Overall, it’s one of the best animated films I’ve seen in recent years. I’d definitely recommend it to my friends, because it’s both entertaining and thought-provoking.

中文对照 我想讲讲《寻梦环游记》，这是我上个月暑假和表哥一起看的一部动画电影。因为夏天天气太热不想出门，我们就在家的流媒体平台上看了这部片。

电影以墨西哥为背景，讲述了一个名叫米格尔的小男孩的故事。他梦想成为一名音乐家，但他的家族几代人都禁止接触音乐。有一天，他在亡灵节当天意外进入了亡灵世界。在那里，他遇到了一个叫埃克托的机灵鬼，对方帮他揭开了家族的隐秘往事。经历了一系列温暖的冒险后，米格尔最终回到了人间，也让家人重新接纳了音乐。

我特别喜欢这部电影有几个原因。首先，剧情非常感人，充满了温暖的细节。关于亲情与记忆的主题特别能引起我的共鸣，结尾的时候我甚至有点热泪盈眶。其次，视觉效果特别棒，色彩斑斓的亡灵世界和精致的人物设计都让人印象深刻。最重要的是，这部电影让我明白，只要我们还记得，所爱之人就从未真正离开。这个道理简单却很有力量。

总的来说，这是我近几年看过最好的动画电影之一。我肯定会推荐给朋友们，因为它既有娱乐性，又能引人深思。

What the problem was

When and where you faced it

How challenging it was

And explain how you solved it

I'd like to talk about a time when my smartphone suddenly froze and completely stopped responding. This happened about six months ago when I was at home preparing some important study materials. At first, I thought it was just a temporary software issue, so I tried restarting the phone several times. Unfortunately, nothing worked, and I started to panic because many of my photos and files hadn't been backed up.

Instead of giving up, I asked one of my friends for advice because he's quite good with technology. He suggested a few simple solutions, such as forcing a restart and clearing the system cache, but they didn't solve the problem. After that, I searched online and watched several tutorial videos. I carefully followed the instructions and even tried updating the system through my computer, but the phone was still frozen.

In the end, I decided to take it to an official repair center. The technician checked the device and found that the operating system had become corrupted. After reinstalling the system, my phone finally worked again, and luckily, most of my data was recovered. Although the whole process was quite stressful, it taught me the importance of backing up my files regularly and staying calm when dealing with technological problems.

How can the government improve people’s health?

How can the traffic be improved in cities?

1) How can the government improve people’s health?

I think the government can improve people's health in several ways. First of all, it can invest more money in public sports facilities like parks, gyms, and cycling lanes, so that people are encouraged to exercise regularly.

Another solution is to launch health education campaigns to teach people about healthy eating and the importance of regular check-ups. In addition, unhealthy products such as cigarettes and sugary drinks could be taxed more heavily to reduce consumption. If these measures are carried out together, people's overall health is likely to improve.

healthy eating:

       should eat: chicken breast, lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, beef, salmon, tuna,

egg whites

       stay away from: high-fat, high-salt food, sugary drinks, processed food

check-ups/physical exams 体检

psychological health: psychological consulting services at school

regulation on working overtime — should be banned

remote work/work at home, flexible working hours

2) How can the traffic be improved in cities?

Traffic = jams, accidents

There are several effective ways to improve traffic in cities. One solution is to develop a better public transport system by increasing the number of buses and subway lines, which would encourage people to leave their cars at home.

Another approach is to build more cycling lanes and pedestrian-friendly streets, making short-distance travel easier and greener. The government could also introduce congestion charges or limit the number of private cars in busy areas during peak hours. I believe a combination of better infrastructure and stricter traffic policies would make city transport much more efficient.

Reduce traffic accidents:

Driving schools — stricter exams

Traffic signs in remote areas

Over-speeding, drunk-driving — punish them harder — do community services for over 50 hours

Questions about differences: 老/少，纸质/电子，线上/线下，城/乡，男/女

Key: 不要踩一捧一，各讲特点

1. What are the differences between TV programs that old people and young people watch?

I think there are two main differences. The main difference is that their interests are different. Older people tend to enjoy news, documentaries, or traditional TV dramas because they prefer informative or familiar content. In contrast, young people are more interested in reality shows, sports, or online entertainment that is fast-paced and exciting.

What’s more, the platforms they use are different. Many older people still watch regular TV channels, while younger people usually prefer streaming services or short-video apps because they offer more choices and greater convenience.

online entertainment: stand-up comedy脱口秀, podcast, streaming media: Netflix

blockbuster 大片

2. What are the differences between e-books and paper books?

There are two major differences between them. The first one is convenience. E-books are much easier to carry because you can store thousands of books on one device, while paper books take up more space and are heavier.

The second difference is the reading experience. Many people think paper books are more comfortable to read since they don't cause as much eye strain and give readers a better sense of focus. On the other hand, e-books allow users to search for information quickly and adjust the font size, which makes reading more flexible.

Be distracted by new feeds from social media 推送

环保:

e-books are more eco-friendly — reduce deforestation 乱砍滥伐

— decrease land-degradation

While

Paper books — collecting values — history books, literary classics

Personally, I think children should learn to use AI properly, but under the guidance of parents and teachers.

First of all, AI has become a basic tool in modern society, just like computers and smartphones 20 years ago. Learning to use AI at an early age helps children build digital literacy, which will be very useful for their study and future work. For example, they can use AI tools to look up information, get clear explanations of difficult knowledge points, or organize their study materials, which makes learning much more efficient.

Besides, using AI properly can also encourage children’s creativity. Instead of finishing tasks for them, AI can provide new ideas and different perspectives. For example, when children work on science projects or handcraft tasks, AI can offer many creative suggestions, and children can pick and improve those ideas on their own.

However, clear rules are necessary at the same time. Children should not rely too much on AI, especially when doing homework. If they just copy answers from AI directly, they will lose the ability to think independently and solve problems by themselves. So adults need to teach them to use AI as a helper, not a replacement for their own thinking.

Overall, the advantages are more than the disadvantages. As long as there is proper guidance, it is a good thing for children to learn to use AI.

在我看来，孩子应该在家长和老师的引导下，适当地学习使用人工智能。

首先，人工智能已经成为现代社会的基础工具，就像 20 年前的电脑和智能手机一样。从小学习使用 AI，能帮助孩子培养数字素养，这对他们的学习和未来的工作都非常有用。比如，他们可以用 AI 工具查找资料、听懂难懂的知识点，或者整理学习材料，大大提升学习效率。

除此之外，合理使用 AI 也能激发孩子的创造力。AI 不会替孩子完成任务，却能提供新的思路和不同的视角。比如孩子做科学小项目或者手工任务时，AI 可以给出很多创意建议，孩子可以自己挑选、再优化这些想法。

但与此同时，也必须要有明确的规则。孩子不能过度依赖 AI，尤其是写作业的时候。如果他们直接抄 AI 的答案，就会丧失独立思考和自主解决问题的能力。所以成年人需要引导孩子，把 AI 当成辅助工具，而不是替代自己思考的工具。

总的来说，这件事利大于弊。只要有正确的引导，孩子学习使用 AI 是一件好事。

First of all, it can invest more in public sports facilities like community parks and cycling lanes, to encourage people to exercise regularly. Another solution is to launch health education campaigns, teaching people about healthy diets and the importance of regular physical check-ups. In addition, heavier taxes on cigarettes and sugary drinks could help reduce their consumption. I believe these measures will work well if carried out together.

中文对照 我认为政府可以从几个方面提升民众的健康水平。首先，政府可以加大对公共体育设施的投入，比如社区公园和自行车道，鼓励人们规律运动。另一个办法是开展健康教育宣传，向人们普及健康饮食和定期体检的重要性。此外，对香烟和含糖饮料征收更高的税，也能减少人们的消费。我相信这些措施共同推行的话会很有效果。

2. How can the traffic be improved in cities?

英文模板 There are several effective ways to improve city traffic. One solution is to develop a better public transport system, by adding more bus routes and subway lines, so that more people will choose not to drive private cars. Another approach is to build more cycling lanes and pedestrian-friendly streets for short-distance trips. The government could also introduce congestion charges in busy city centers during rush hours. I think a mix of better infrastructure and proper policies will make city traffic much smoother.

中文对照 改善城市交通有几个有效的办法。一个方案是完善公共交通系统，增加公交线路和地铁线路，这样更多人就会选择不开私家车。另一个方法是修建更多自行车道和适合步行的街道，满足短途出行需求。政府也可以在高峰时段对市中心繁忙区域征收拥堵费。我认为完善的基础设施和合理的政策相结合，会让城市交通顺畅很多。

Questions about changes 今昔对比

In the past — one generation ago — 2 or 3 decades ago

Compared with the past, pollution has become more serious in many large cities due to industrial development. Air and water pollution are more noticeable because of heavy traffic and factories.

On the other hand, people today are more aware of environmental protection than before. Governments are introducing stricter laws to control pollution. In some developed countries, pollution levels have actually decreased. So, the situation depends largely on the region.

Over-gazing 过度放牧

I would say it's definitely more difficult to get a job currently than it was in the past, and one of the reasons for saying this is that in the past, there was generally less competition for jobs, because not that many people went to university, whereas these days, there are millions of graduates looking for jobs, which has made it extremely difficult to find a decent and high-paying job, unless of course you have good personal connections.

Another point I should mention is that 20 or 30 years ago, people were actually assigned jobs after completing university, so getting a job was pretty much guaranteed, whereas this is no longer the case.

Decent job: state-owned enterprises 国企 — stable job, will be broken, good benefits待遇: healthcare insurance, housing funds, social securities, various subsidies and holiday leaves

High-paying job: software engineers in IT giants, investment bankers, foreign-invested companies

Easier:

问法: pros and cons, what do you think of …?

1.What are the advantages and disadvantages of using social media?

Social media has become an important part of modern life.
One major advantage is that it helps people stay connected with friends and family, especially those who live far away. It is also a useful platform for learning new information and sharing ideas quickly.

However, social media can be addictive (especially for teenagers and students), and many people spend too much time scrolling instead of focusing on real life.
Another drawback is that it may cause anxiety or low self-esteem due to constant comparison with others.

Stay connected: various ways, like sending text messages, voice messages, emojis, making video calls

Get to know international and domestic current events, like …

be addictive — lead to healthy issues, like poor eyesight, sedentary lifestyle久坐不动的生活方式

digital detox 电子戒断

drawback: cyberbullying

… suffer from cyberbullying — they are cursed by haters with no reasons at all

… send direct messages (DM) or leave bad comments down below

Which will lead to psychological issues, like being depressed, even depression

Living in a tall building has both advantages and disadvantages.
One clear benefit is the great view, especially for people living on higher floors.
Tall buildings also usually offer better security and modern facilities, such as elevators and gyms.

However, living too high can be inconvenient during emergencies, like power cuts or fires.
In addition, some people may feel isolated because they have less contact with neighbors.
So, whether it is a good choice depends on a person’s lifestyle and personal preferences.
