答案Topic 1: Importance of Good Living Habits —With the ever-faster pace of modern society, our living habits have changed a lot. We spend more time working, and we play less. —That is true. But however the life style changes, I think the most important thing is to establish good and healthy living habits. Good living habits enable you to be both healthy and wealthy. —That is a really interesting point — healthy and wealthy! But in what ways, in your opinion? —It’ll be very easy to understand. Research shows that more and more people are dying of diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes resulting from unhealthy living habits. —As far as I know, they’re all caused by improper eating habits, not life style. —You are right. That’s what most people think, but many other aspects of living also count a lot, for example, physical exercises. —Yeah, I see your point here. You mean, despite our bad eating habits nowadays, people could reduce their chances of developing diseases in other ways. —Exactly. Good living habits could greatly improve or change your state of health. Actually today’s diseases are not entirely caused by work pressure, bad eating habits, or food. Anything people do or eat can be risky, and these risks could be reduced or avoided. —Today people’s living standards have improved a lot, but more problems are coming along due to bad living habits. People should eat properly, do enough exercise, get enough rest, and more importantly, keep a good mood. —So you see good living habits could keep you healthy. And with good health, people can pursue their dreams full of energy and vitality as well as sound mentality. Topic 5: Having Pets —Nowadays there are various different ideas about the practice of having pets in the family. You know, we are more cautious of having dogs especially after the attack of SARS. —That’s to prevent people from being infected by some diseases which spread through animals, of course. But I think whatever happens, we should have certain pets as our friends and companions. —But that will also increase the risk of being affected by the diseases they can spread. If people are lonely or need friends, they could turn to other ways, of course. Why pets? —Because pets are living creatures, and sometimes they know how to communicate with you, sensing your feelings and moods. —Do they really understand? I don’t think so. —You see, pets sometimes — most times I should say — seem to really understand how you are feeling and what you want to do. Let’s take dogs for example. When you are happy, they wag their tails and bark cheerfully; when you are in a sad mood, they lower their heads and keep silent. —But that doesn’t necessarily mean dogs can really understand people’s intentions. Loneliness or sadness might not be driven away just because you have a dog or cat around. —Why not? You see, my grandpa has a cat, and when he is in high spirits, the cat will jump all around, seeming to share his happiness, but when Grandpa is depressed, the cat will crouch at his feet or follow him wherever he goes. My grandpa always feels happy if the cat is with him, and a little depressed if not. So I think having pets is a good and healthy practice, especially for old people and those living by themselves. —Maybe having pets can benefit people in some ways and to some extent. But that doesn’t guarantee its all-around advantageous. You know people can get some lethal diseases if bitten by pets or infected by viruses or parasites they might carry. —But those risks could be effectively reduced. —How? —By giving pets inoculations regularly and washing them frequently. —Maybe your ideas are true to some degree, but I don’t think they can be carried out effectively. —Of course there’s a lot remaining to be done. Having pets is a good choice for some people anyway.
