答案Topic 1: What Makes a Perfect Gift? — My nephew is going to celebrate his 11th birthday next week. I’m going to buy him a pet, but I don’t have the slightest idea of what to buy. — That’s easy, I guess. You can buy him a dog or fish or something. — But that’s too ordinary. Every boy receives birthday presents like that! I want to do something different! — You’d like to impress him, wouldn’t you? — Absolutely. But I don’t have a clue how. — To my way of thinking, you could get him a guinea pig, that lovely, furry creature. I’m sure he will like it. — I don’t think so. He doesn’t like rodents in the least. He has a phobia of them. — Well, in that case, you could buy him an iguana, a kind of tropical American lizard. I think he will be ecstatic when he sees it. — Hmm, I will think about that. Talk to you later. Topic 2: Student-Teacher Relationships — Almost every aspect of our daily life is changing, in cluding student-teacher relationships. — What do you mean by that? — I mean today there is more interaction between students and teachers than before. You know what the relationship was like in our parents’ school times or several years ago? — Well, it was just teaching and learning independently, so students rarely had the chance to talk to their teachers. — So what do you think the relationship between students and teachers would have been like? — Well, with little communication between the two parties, I think teachers would have had little knowledge of students’ demand and students would have known little about their teachers, and would lose the desire to convey their own ideas to teachers. — But today the relationship has changed completely. Teachers are more willing to know about students, and students like to communicate with teachers. — Actually, students and teachers should be like friends in a way. They both could become better students or teachers by communicating and cooperating efficiently. Topic 4: Pressure of Modern Life — Life today is really different from what it was like years ago, or in our parents’ times. — Why do you say so? I mean, in what ways, according to your understanding? — Well, you know, dozens of years ago life was free and simple, while nowadays people — especially young people — are very burdened by a large amount of pressure from various aspects of their lives. — You said it! Evem I feel the pressure all the time, although I have not yet started a career or found myself in a position to support a family. — Me too. Many people say people today are not as easy-going or easily pleased as before. In my opinion that’s because they suffer from a lot of pressure. — And this pressure could lead people to depression, anger, coldness toward others, late marriage, or even no marriage at all. — Yes. Maybe the world is developing much faster with its citizens being so burdened, but I do not think this will do any good to the world in the long run. — Absolutely! And more than that, it could do great harm! There will be less candid and friendly communication between people, who will consequently become less open, more lonesome, and easily depressed by even the most trivial things. — What’s worse, the story doesn’t stop there because all the above unhealthy feelings will result in various diseases in the human body. — Ah... I remember. If a person has been under pressure and in a bad mood for a long time, he or she will develop psychological problems. It is only a matter of time. — Besides psychological problems, there could be some physical problems too. You know, when people have been in low spirits for quite a long time, their body produces certain chemicals, which could lead to cancer if accumulated to some extent. — Gosh! Then it is our misfortune to live in this time. — It depends. Living in this very time, you can enjoy all the advantages that didn’t exist at all some time ago. If you develop a positive mentality, you can still live a healthy and happy life.
