However I admire him because of his perfect violin performance. People say that he can play a whole song with merely one string. And thats real, not a legend! Besides, other musicians such as Liszt have also composed their music based on artworks of Paganini. Obviously Paganini is one of the greatest violinist and composer throughout the music history.

It is good for students to attend a university or college in a foreign country. Explain why.It is good for students to attend a university in a foreign country, because it provides students with international experiences. International experiences can cultivate students intercultural communication skills. Take myself as an example. In college, I attended an exchange program in Italy. At first, I found it difficult to communicate with my Italian classmates and then I realized that the problem was due to the cultural differences, not the linguistic problem as I previously thought. So I tried to learn more about Italian culture. Guess what? Now if I met someone from Italy, he will think that Im an Italian-born Chinese after we communicate.What do you think is the most important quality of a working environment: good leaders, good colleagues or flexible time?Well, its true that good leaders and flexible time are vital to a well-balanced working environment.

In this sense, having friendly co-workers matters. Once we needed to confirm all the arrangements for a multiple inter-governmental event before the following day.

Mystery novel, science fiction, biography.I like to read books, different kinds of books, such as mystery novel, science fiction, however I wont read biography. The main reason is that some biographies are misleading. The author of the biography tends to create some events for the character that actually did not happen.

So if you happen to read such a biography, and then you go on Wikipedia to search information about the character in the book, you will find a totally different story.Whats your favorite toy or game in your childhood?All girls like Barbie, Im not excluded. Having a Barbie is the biggest dream of all girls at that age. I got my first Barbie on my tenth birthday. My mother took me to a department store.

This Barbie is my favorite toy in my childhood.If a foreign visitor comes to your country, what food will you introduce to him/her?Well, China is famous for its delicious food among which I will introduce a special food named Zongzi to foreign visitors, because you can find no food similar to Zongzi in other places. Zongzi is a typical Chinese food and people only eat it on Dragon Festival. This festival is in memory of a famous poet Quyuan. How to make a Zongzi is a little difficult.

Anyway, foreigners should not miss Zongzi when they come to China.Describe a special experience that has changed you in life.Every experience will have a butterfly effect on your future life.

The Chinese literature teacher in high school set it as a daily homework and she would check it in her class.

This piece of news caught my eyes. I am very exciting about it because finally I may see my favorite soccer player Kaka. Besides, since a lot of Kakas national teammates also come to China, I bet it will be a match worthwhile to see. Last time when Kaka came to China with Real Madrid football club, I wasnt able to ask for leave to see him. What a pity! I hope this time I would work it out.

Choose one approach that you believe to be useful to save our planet.Just look up to the skies you will realize how serious the environment problems we are facing. Every one of us, including myself, has the obligation to take actions on saving our blue planet. Actually, there are simple ways that can make a big difference, such as reduction of gas emissions. To achieve this, we can do a lot, for example, we can take public transportation instead of private cars. In fact in big cities such as Shanghai, during peak hours, driving private cars only makes sure that your car is blocked on highways. I believe if everyone takes public transportation, the situation of our environment will be improved dramatically.What do you think is the most important advancement over the past 20 years in your country?Personally, I consider Chinas entering the WTO as a significant milestone in modern history of China.

Computer, television or telephone? I have to admit that television and telephone are great inventions, however I will regard computer as the most important invention because the function of television and telephone can be replaced by computer. To be specific, we can watch the news, or programs on online TV Channel, which means television is not a necessary home appliance anymore. On the other hand, using software such as skype one can easily make a phone call on computer to his friend oversea without extra charge. Thats more convenient and economical than telephone. I just cant imagine what our society will be without computer.Your friend often feels nervous when speaking in front of a large group of people. What suggestions would you give to your friend to overcome this fear?Speaking in front of a large group of people isnt an easy task. I will suggest my friend to do more practices as possible as she can. The more you practice, the better your performance will be in front of the audience. There is an effective way to achieve this. She can keep practicing in front of a mirror. A mirror will help her to see her expressions and her gestures during her speech so that she can improve her speech skills quickly.

I practiced all the evening in front of the mirror and the practice did have effect the next day.Do you agree or disagree: University students should learn how to manage their time more efficiently.As we all read from the news, the sluggish market created a great difficulty for fresh graduates to find a good job.

TASK2Do you prefer to eat prepared food or food made by yourself?I prefer to eat prepared food not becauseI dont like cookingactually I like itvery muchIts just because I really dont have time to cook food daily.

The most important reason that we cannot neglect is that helping parents do some housework is good for childrens independence in the future.
