Express your opinions freely, using the expressi ons listed above.Sample an swers1I don agree that vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat. For exam

24、ple, a diet consisting of chips andbananas is vegetarian, but few people would consider such a diet very healthy. On the other hand, a diet that includesplenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and a good source of calcium like low-fat dairy products is healthy. Althoughvegetarian diets can beheal

25、thy, nu triti onal aware ness is importa nt. Itreported that vegetaria n tee ns ofte n do not get eno ugh min eralssuch as calcium, iron and zinc.I see things slightly differently. I agree that vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat. Most studies showthat vegetarians have about a 30 per

26、cent lower risk of death from heart disease tha n meat-eaters. Fewer vegetaria nsare overweight. A vegetaria n diet represe nts a major health ben efit because fruits and vegetables supply a lot of vitamins and fiber.2I agree that staying a teenager forever would be great. Everybody would like to be

27、 young forever. This is a goldenperiod in life. Teenagers are youthful and healthy. Life is easy for them because they dont have as many as worriesas adultsnutolite is full of hopes for them because they have the future ahead of them and the opportunity to try anythingthey like.Imot sure that true.

28、I donthink staying a teenager forever would be a great thing. Teen agers are un der a lotof pressure because of their studies. They also n eed finan cial support from their parents so they cant do many things or make decisions independently. Life wmore colorful as an adult. If we stayed tee nagers f

29、orever, how could we experie nee the happ in ess ofbeing an adult?3Some people think that spending time with family is more important than making friends. that asgood point, but I think making good friends is more important than spending time with my family. Iben efit a lot from talk ing to my frien

30、 ds. Frie nds are a huge part of our lives. Nobody could livewithout friends. My friends go through the same experiences as me and because of this, they cangive me advice whe n I have a problem. They always help me whe n Im in n eed. We can talk abouteveryth gi We can share our happ in ess and our s

31、orrow.I take your point, but I dont think making good friends is more important than spencwith my family. I prefer to spend time with my family rather than make friends with my peers. Mypare nts know more about me tha n anyone else. They are always the ones who I turn to when I amin trouble. I often

32、 spend time with them, talking about my worries and my hopes for the future. Theylike to share their experie nces with me too. Family members are defi nitely more importa nt to metha n frien ds.4Some one told me that havi ng a good job does n t n ecessarily make you happy. Thtrue, but in my opinion,

33、 a good job is n ecessary if I want to be happy in the future. there are a nu mber of differe nt reasons why I think this. Firstly, a good job can offer us a good salary. Money is not everyth ing but you cannot afford manythings you n eed without it. Secon dly, a highly paid job is always a big chal

34、le nge. I enjoy being challe nged.Perhaps you are mistaken. I dont agree that I must have a good job if I want to be happy in the future. Before wediscuss this, we n eed to talk about what true happ in ess is. The an swer to this questio n lies in the hearts of manypeople around the world. True happ

35、 in ess is to feel with your heart. And it is also to feel and experience various thingsduring our lives. we have more important things to value in life tha n a good salary.5Some people believe that good marks indicate how smart you are, but I see things differently. School is noteverythi ng. Succes

36、s and happ in ess cannot be measured by good marks. Stude nts should not be so stressed by theirstudies. This can ofte n have a bad effect on their health. Even ifbeingtimeat might bewe don t get good marks in our studies, we can be successful in nmy other things in life.Good marks in dicate how sma

37、rt you are. Thathow I feel. Doi ng well in exams isway to succeed in a highly petitive world. some people dont think school is veithi nk it is extremely importa nt. Good marks show how well you have studied and how capable you are. This is what universities and employers care about.6I do think that

38、lear ning a foreig n Ian guage is importa nt. Lan guage is an importa nt tool for people to muni catewith each other, as well as a way to pass on their culture and kno wledge. Nowadays, the number of people traveling toother countries is increasing. Mastering a foreign Ianguage is being a must for t

39、hem to live in a foreign country orunderstand other nationalities better.I dont tkiithat learning a foreign Ianguage is important. Take myself for example, I spent some time in Britain onan exchange program. I spent a lot of time learning English before I went abroad. It has been almost two years si

40、nce Icame back and I have forgotten a lot of English because I hardly use it now. Spending too much time on a foreignIanguage is a waste of time. Step 2: discuss ing frien dship with othersIn this part, You n eed to in terview three classmates and find out their opinions on frien dship.1. You will b

41、e divided into groups of four. Study the questi ons on the in terview form carefully.You can makesome releva nt cha nge accord ing to your own in formatio n. After your in terview, plete the form.2. Ask stude nts to discuss the stateme nts on frien dship in Part B and decide whether they agree or di

42、sagree with thestateme nt and give out the reas ons.Sample an swers:1.I think frien dship is an importa nt part of my life. It has bee n said that there is nothing more valuable than a goodfriend. I truly believe this. Friendship is not only important, but essential. In our daily life, we may encoun

43、ter manydifficulties and experience many ups and downs. Friends are those we can turn to for help. We all n eed frien ds.Without frien dship, our lives would not be very meanin gful.2.In my point of view, a good friend must be hon est, kind and have a sense of humor. They must also betrustworthy and

44、 loyal. These two characteristics go han d-i n-ha nd. When we know some one will be loyal to us, we areon the road to a true frien dship. When we know some one is trustworthy and loyal, we will take the risk that friendshiprequires. How can I expect to share my secrets or relax with a friend who is

45、not loyal to me?he on ly/important, but I3.I agree that it is better to have one or two good friends than 100 acquaintances. You can shareyour emoti ons and feeli ngs with your good frien ds, whe never you are in trouble, no matter where you are, they willreach out and help you. However, acqua intan

46、ces might not be those who you can turn to for help. Even if you had 100acqua intan ces, you would not be close to any of them. You would not excha nge ideas or opinions with them. Youwould not tell them your secrets or ask them for advice. Thats the biggest differenee between good friends andacquai
