S1: Describe your favorite room either of your own house or in other places
and explain why.
Personally speaking, my favorite room is my bed room for a couple of reasons.
The first reason is that my room is a nice quiet spot. I can do my favorite activities
without being distracted by presence of others when I’m meditating. Actually, I an
introverted person, so I spend most of my time at home in my room studying,
reading novels, and playing video games. The second reason is that my room has
a beautiful decoration including red and yellow; so, these colors makes me feel
happy and lively. So, for these reasons my bed room is my favorite room.

S1: Among the following three professions, which do you think make the
biggest contribution to society? Teachers, famers, doctors.
Given the choice, I would opt for teachers since they play a pivotal role in the
society. First of all, they educate a large number of children who are supposed to
attend the society in the near future. For example, children at school learn a lot of
knowledge about mathematics, physics and chemistry which help them to
enhance their mind and become learned people. Furthermore, students are
taught to be responsible. How teachers behave in the class indirectly teaches
students to be organized and take the responsibility of what they do. For
instance, if they have done something wrong, they should accept their mistake
and apologize.

Famers- 1) provide food for people, organic food are really important, help the
society lead a healthy life,

2) farmers help families be well-off by producing a large a large amount of


commodities. It stops government from importing food from another country. So,
people can afford buy much more food with low-cost.

Doctors- 1) doctors have critical profession because they encourage people to


lead a healthy lifestyle. They teach people through media and other means of
communications which food are really proper and which one are not. Also, they

1

Prepared by Javad Kh
cure patients, so good doctors contribute greatly to the number of healthy people
not only physically but also mentally.

Artists- 1) artists have a leading role in a society, they are the symbol of culture
and civilization. What they perform such as drawing or the play and so forth
exactly represents the lifestyle or the people’s way of life. Besides, people are
really receptive to what the artists convey. For example, if some artists follow the
rules, people will be more willing to obey the rules. Furthermore, some children
consider artists as model. For instance, children are more likely to imitate what
artists do. So, artists contribute greatly to a society.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following question. In order to stay
happy, you must have a job that you love doing.
I strongly agree with this statement that people who have the job they love are
happy due to a couple of reasons. First of all, people spend most of their time at
work; so if they do not enjoy their jobs, they will definitely lose the best of
moments of their life. Furthermore, people who enjoy their jobs will be successful
in the long run due to the fact that they have incentive to keep on their job. They
will never leave their jobs and try to reach the pinnacle of their jobs.

S1: Describe a day that you enjoyed the most or was the most special to you.
Include reasons and details to support your response.
The most enjoyable day that I have had was New year’s day last year. It was really
memorable and enjoyable for me due to two reasons. First of all, I visit a large
number of my friends whom I hadn’t seen them for a long time because we are
living in different part of the country, new year’s day motivate us come over.
Furthermore, we have a specific culture that makes this day more attractive and
enjoyable; older people give some money as a gift to younger one; so I could
accumulate a hoard of money that day since I was the youngest man in the family.

S2: Some people prefer to have classes during the day and do part-time jobs
in the evening while others prefer to have classes in the evening and do part-
time jobs during the day. Which do you prefer?

2
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
Personally speaking, I prefer to have classes during the day and do part-time jobs
in the evening due to two reasons. first of all, at the beginning of the day I have a
lot of energy so in the class I can easily concentrate. If I stay up late doing some
activities during the night, I have difficulty wake up soon in the morning so I will
lose my class on that day. Furthermore, at college, important courses are
scheduled in the morning so, if I choose a part-time job in the morning, I cannot
get those courses in due time. So, have class during the day allows me to graduate
in time.

4. 090613CN=070728CN
S1: Describe the changes in your life five years from now on. Include specific
examples and details in your explanation.
Five years from now on, I will graduate from a prestigious university in my country
and then I will find a decent job in my hometown. I can earn the living and pay my
way because I will earn a hoard of money by my job. It will revolutionize my life
due to the fact that I can experience my independent life. I will rent a flat near to
my work and after work I will have a quiet place for do my favorite activities in
solitude. So, five years from now on I will be a self-sufficient man.

S2:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Power and money
is the symbol of success.
I strongly disagree with this statement that power and money is the of success. It
all depends on the definition of success. For me, entering a prestigious university
was the sign of success. Some people have money and fortune, but they are not
happy and satisfied at all. Some times. Donating some money to the poor would
be a symbol of success since in this way we contribute greatly to the reduction of
poverty in the society; being an important contributor itself is a kind of success.
So, having money and wielding power is not the sign of success.

5. 091101CN=070817NA
S1: What is your favorite outdoor place to do exercise in a nice day?
Personally speaking, I prefer to go to a park next to my flat for doing exercise for a
couple of reasons. First, as a matter of fact, it is not crowded so I can do exercise
without any kind of disruption; beside, nice paths have been provided for people

3
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
who want to go jogging. Furthermore; a large number of sportsmen come to this
park and do exercise day in day out; so, I can socialize with them and make new
friendship; I can also organize some team sports such as volleyball and have fun.

S2: Some people like to have a break or get a job during summer vacation.
Others think it is better to take a class. Which do you prefer and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to have a break or get a job during the summer
vacation due to two reasons. First, after stressful and boring days of school, I
really need to relax and unwind; so, relieving my stress in the summer vacation is
really overriding. Furthermore, getting a job during summer will help me gain a lot
of rewarding experience and enhance my horizon. Gaining knowledge and
experience as much as possible during the summer vacation help us become
successful individuals in the near future. Also, it is really painful attending the
class in the summer and take final exam.

6. 091114CN=080329NA
S1: Describe a most unforgettable success in your life. Explain why it was
important to you. Include reasons and examples to support your response.
For me, being accepted in a high-ranked university in my country was the most
important success in your life due to two reasons. First, it revolutionized my life
since after graduation I had no difficulty finding a decent job in my hometown
due to the fact that I have studied at a famous university, most of companies
were willing to employ me. Furthermore, I got familiar with a lot of students at
the university, we are now close friends and have much in common and like to
hang out with each other spending most of our time with each other.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is never too late
for an old person to receive higher education and to get a university degree.
Use specific reasons to support your answer.
I strongly disagree with this statement due to two reasons. As a matter of fact, old
people generally have poor concentration since they the power of mind for
receiving information has decreased over time. Also, they would have difficulty
understanding formula and interpret the phenomena in the course of study. For

4
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
example, in the math class, they surely cannot withstand the class because they
will be going to be confused. Furthermore, old people physically are not potent
enough to sit on the couch for a long time such as a conference or lecture for 5
hours. So, it is really painful for them to keep on their study.

7. 091122CN=080921NA
S1: In your opinion, what is the most important invention in your life?
Computer, television or telephone?
In my opinion, the most remarkable invention in my life is the computer for a
couple of reasons. First, computer has provided an opportunity for people to keep
in touch with each other all over the world by getting on line whenever they like
or need. Also, it is the most cost-effective means of communication. For instance,
my brother is studying at a university abroad; we can easily talk whenever we
want. Furthermore, computers has facilitated our life. A large number of
machines are using the computers, they are really dependent on computers to
operate properly. These machines work in the way that human beings could not
do.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most
important lessons cannot be learned in classrooms.
I strongly agree with this statement due to two reasons. First, in the classroom,
students are bombarded with theoretical lesson and they gain a lot of different
knowledge, however, if they don’t put these knowledge into practice, they won’t
apply them in the real world. Besides, the time of classes are really limited and
the amount of knowledge shared in is limited. Getting a part-time job as an
internship will help students get experience along with their study and implement
their lessons leant in the classroom.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? College education
should only be available to people who have done well in secondary school.
I strongly agree with this statement due to two reasons. First, experience has
shown us that students who have been excellent in the high school have a better
5
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
performance at the university; so, providing an opportunity for students who
have had low level of performance in secondary school is not logical or might be a
waste of time or money. Furthermore, students who have not cared about
students in the high school are always willing to choose jobs with less level of
complication such as carpenter, plumber and so forth. Hence, the university
should be available for students who really cared about study in the past.

9. 100123CN=080314NA
S1: What's your favorite toy or game in your childhood?
As I remember, I didn’t have a toy in y childhood, but I had a pet instead. It was a
domestic dog actually which lived with us in our home. It was my favorite things
that I ever had in my life. I liked it because of its characteristics; it performed a lot
of roles for me such as protecting as I was going to school, and I always engage it
in my activities. For example, I asked it to take the remote control. Furthermore, it
was really intelligent. Whenever I was doing something wrong, it stopped me
from keeping on that act. I don’t know how it did but its intelligence surprised me
most of the time.

S2: Do you like to be taught by experienced teachers or by new teachers?


Personally speaking, I prefer to be taught by an experienced teacher due to two
reasons. First, experienced teachers have an ability to manage the time of class
better. For example, they divide the time of class into two parts one for teaching
new materials and the other for answering the question of students and clarifying
the material. Besides, they always take the control of the class and don’t allow
students disturb the class by making noise and eating something the class. For
instance, they set specific punishment for unruly students.

10. 100227CN=081114NA
S1: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is good for
students to attend a university or college in a foreign country. Explain why.
I strongly agree with this statement due to two reasons. First, studying and living
abroad provide an opportunity for students to become familiar with a lot people

6
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
with different culture. They can get acquainted with a lot of culture first hand by
being in close contact with people from another country. Furthermore, overseas
universities often have unique programs that help students get more knowledge
in comparison to students studying in their home town university. So, these
students will be experienced and knowledgeable after graduation.

11. 100410CN=090313NA
S1: Describe a gift that you want to give to someone.
I’m going to give a Video Game as a present to my friend Sam for his birthday due
to two reasons. First, he really love the video games; he spend most of his time
playing these games at home. So, I imagine that giving this present will make him
feel happy. Besides, I know that when he starts playing this game, he will
remember of me and it is likely that he would give a call and ask me to play with
each other, so I helps us make our friendship lasting.

S2: Is it easier to be a teacher than to be a student?


In my opinion, being a teacher is easier than being a student due to two reasons.
First, teachers should only attend the classes and there is no need to do a lot of
homework, so they have a lot of time to spend on a variety of activities, but
students have to do their assignment at home. Furthermore, teaching is really
enjoyable; for example, I am a high school teacher, interacting with students in
the class is undoubtedly enjoyable and makes me really happy and I find it
rewarding to teach to children at school. When you answer to the questions that
students ask, you feel honored to have a teaching career.

12. 100424CN=081108NA
S1: Describe your favorite teacher. Explain why you like him or her. Include
reasons and details to support your response.
I’m going to talk about my English teacher that I had at the university. I really like
him due two reasons. First, he was really knowledgeable. He not only did know
about the structure of English, but also knew a lot about history behind the words
and expressions and idioms. He could easily illustrate what has happened to a
word after a long period of time. Besides, he was patient. He did not get angry

Prepared by Javad Kh
with a variety of questions that student asked. He spent most of his time
answering to the question of students and he did not behaved in a way that the
students think he wants to escape himself from answering. That’s why I like him a
lot.

S2: Some people prefer to make decisions quickly. Others prefer to take their
time. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to
support your response.
Personally speaking, I prefer to take some time to make a decision due to two
reasons. First, I have to evaluate all of positive and negative aspects of decision
because some consequences will not come to my mind in the spur of the
moment; so making right decision makes it necessary to take my time.
Furthermore, it gives a chance to consult with other people who have
experienced similar situation. As I remember, when I wanted to choose the
university, I consulted with an alumni and he gave me some useful advice; so I
made a good decision about choosing my university.

13. 100516CN=090110NA
S1: Describe an activity that you enjoy doing together with your family.
Explain why. Please include reasons and details in your response.
The most enjoyable activity that my family and I like to do with each other is going
out of the bustling city and going to the countryside due to two reasons. First, we

working hours in the metropolitan city and lead a healthy lifestyle. Besides, it is a
popular holiday resort, lots of people go there to enjoy its fresh air and its
tranquility. Furthermore, it is helpful to strengthen our relationship. a precious
moment is provided to address the problems of all members of family and give a
hand to members that really need to get help.

S2: Some people prefer to do shopping in large grocery stores or department


stores. Others prefer to do shopping in small grocery stores. Which do you
prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.
Personally speaking, I prefer to go shopping in large grocery stores due to two
reasons. First, there are a variety of items in the large grocery stores. For
example, I wanted to make a purchase a tool a couple of days ago, I went to a

8
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
large store, there were many types of tool in there and I had a profusion of
choices to select. I could easily find what I needed. Furthermore, a large number
of people go there day in day out and buy; so, new items are replaced every day.
For instance, if we want to buy fruit and vegetables, we are sure that they are
fresh.

special to you. Include reasons and details to support your response.
I’m going to describe my close friend Sam, he is a very special friend of mine due

used to be a shy person, but making friends with Sam revolutionized my life and
helped me learn how view life differently. Furthermore, he helped me become

First, I have outstanding characteristics which enable me to be a leader. For
example, I am an excellent speaker. Last time I gave a lecture to many people, It
had a profound influence on the audiences. Furthermore, I am really a good
planner. As I remember, last time I made a long-term plan for a project at the
university, the project was implemented in time. This plan is now applying for
another project. I am of the opinion that being a leader will help me put my
knowledge into practice and assess my abilities. That’s why I prefer to be a leader.

S1: Describe a time when you tried to do something that you have never done.
Explain what you did and why you did it.
I am going to talk about a situation that I wanted to install software on my laptop
when I was at college last year. I had never installed that software on my
9
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
computer; so, I asked my roommate to help me install it. As a matter of fact, he
was a computer programming student and skillful enough to solve any problem
related to computer programs. He taught me that all computer programs have
specific executive file specified for installing the software. I learnt how to find
executive file and how to follow the process of installing a computer software.
Besides, he introduced me some computer centers that have excellent classes for
eager students who want to acquire knowledge of computer programming.

S2: Some people prefer to do one job or project at one time. Other people
prefer to do several jobs or projects at the same time. Which do you prefer
and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to do one job or project at one time due to two
reasons. First, when I take the responsibility to carry out one project, I can easily
concentrate on my project; therefore, I can complete the project without any
distraction or any disturbing thoughts which can preoccupied my mind. I can
readily put my energy together in order to do my duty perfectly. Furthermore,
getting several jobs or projects makes me really stressful because I am a
responsible man; so, doing jobs incomplete makes me nervous and upset. As I
remember last time I got a project, I got into top gear and completed it in time
and perfectly.

I am going to talk about Sam one of my close friends whom I became friends at
engineering college. The day I wanted to get a room in the dorm I saw him
seeking a roommate. We started talking to each other about on-campus issues
and its problems. After a while, I found that his character and personality is really
close to me and he would be a good friend for me. So, I gave him my telephone
number and asked him to call be in later time. afterwards, we met each other
several time on campus and become two friends and roommate.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Personality


changes as one grows older.

10
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
I strongly agree with this statement that personality changes as persons get older
due to two reasons. First, personality is affected by happening that people
experience. For example, when people grow older, they would have a large
number of situations that can affect their character and personality. They mature
when they cope with these kind of problems. Furthermore, jobs and careers have
profound impact on people’s personality. For instance, politicians definitely have
different personality when they start working. After graduation, they begin to
work as a politician, after getting involved in their position their character will
surely change enormously.

17. 100821CN=080516NA
S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should
be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do
so. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I strongly agree with this statement that children should take part in household
tasks as soon as they can do due to two reasons. First, it is helpful for children
because they learn how to do their tasks and duties in the future. Besides, they
learn that they should take the responsibility of their acts. For example, if a child
do something wrong at home, he should accept his fault and try to modify his
weakness. Furthermore, it is helpful for parents as well because they do not need
to do all the tasks at home and they can make more time for children. for
instance, if mother is just supposed to make food for family, she will have more
time to spend helping her child’s homework.

18. 100828CN=090725NA
S1: Describe one thing you didn’t want to do but you were asked to do.
Explain what the result of that thing was. Include reasons and details in your
response.
I remember I helped one of my friends do his final paper a couple of years ago. I
didn’t have enough time to spend helping him do his project but asked me a lot
for help. However, I gave him a hand in the end and he could complete his paper.
His project got perfectly done because I provided him a variety of information
and helped him do his experimental sections. Finally, he made a excellent lecture

11
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
and defended his paper vigorously, but he didn’t thank me and wasn’t thankful
for my contribution; so, I finally became disappointed and committed myself not
to giving help to my distant friends.

S2: Some people prefer to make detailed plans for the future. Others prefer to
concentrate on present things and don't make any plans at all. Which way do
you prefer? Use specific reasons to support your answer.
Personally speaking, I prefer to make plans for my future due to two reasons.
First, I am of the opinion that successful people have had plans for their future
and would not do something without any plan; so, I make plan for all of my
activity in this way I will ensure my future to become a successful man.
Furthermore, organized men have less stress. For example, if I have no plan for
my activities, I will run into a huge problem and I will be overwhelmed by stress.
When I was at college, I created long-term plan for my semester therefore, I had
no problem during the semester and did all of my projects and homework in time.

19. 100918CN =090221NA


S1: What do you think is the most important quality of a working
environment: good leaders, good colleagues, or flexible time?
In my opinion, the most important quality of working environment is good
colleagues due to two reasons. First, good colleagues are happy and have a sense
of humor. We spend most of our time at work so if we don’t have happy
colleagues, our working hours will be boring and difficult to endure. Besides, good
colleagues care about other co-workers. For example, when one of the co-worker
has a problem or is in a tough spot, other colleagues should be careful and try to
address his/her problem. Hence, co-workers are the members of a small family
and they should behave as if members of a family do.

S2: Do you agree or disagree: cell phone changes our lives greatly.
I strongly agree with this statement that cell-phone changes our lives drastically
due to two reasons. First, we, nowadays, are dependent on our cell-phones. Cell-
phone performs lots of roles for human beings; it is the best means of
communication, also it is a small computer, we can get online and do many things
such as banking transactions, book a ticket, and buy a book. Furthermore,

12
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
application installed on the cell-phone are really helpful such as GPS, dictionary,
and other useful software. For example, most of the time, I take the advantage of
dictionary installed on my cell-phone and save my time searching for definition of
vocabularies in the dictionary.

20. 100926CN=090621CN=080223NA
S1: Describe a character in a book, film, or poem, and explain why you like it.
I’m going to talk about my favorite character in a book named Sam. I like him
because of his qualifications. He is a diligent and shrewd student that lives in a
small city with his family. When he starts doing something, nothing could
discourage him from doing that. His persistence in doing his duties inspires me to
be a diligent person. Furthermore, he is a polite man and respectful of his
parents. Nothing could get him angry and change his behavior. If any situation
comes up that gets him angry, he controls his anger and tries to pretend in a way
that nothing has happened. So, I believe that everybody likes to be similar to him.

21. 101009CN=090321NA
S1: Describe an interesting style of clothing in your country.
In my opinion, the most interesting and popular style of clothing in my country is
Cold Fashion including sport clothes like jeans with lots of holes and different kind
of colors. They usually match with sweater. It is not classy at all and it is
convenient to put on and it is not restricted to specific place. Young adults and
children are willing to put on this style everywhere. Recently, this style has
become increasingly popular among college students and you can see this trend
in both university and community. That’s why this style is interesting and popular
in my country.

S2: Some people like to spend their spare time with friends, some people like
to spend it alone. Which one do you prefer?
Personally speaking, I prefer to spend my leisure time with my friends due to two
reasons. First, I’m a sociable person; I enjoy communicating with other people; I
have a lot of friends; I like to get informed of many things that happened to all of
my friends. I always make a plan to meet my friends every weekend and spend
our time with each other going out to a fancy restaurant or night club.

13

Prepared by Javad Kh
Furthermore, being with my friends makes me feel happy and help me forget my
problems and anxiety. For example, when I go swimming with my friends, I throw
my stress away because all of my friends are cool.

22. 101017CN=090117NA
S1: If you were to become a volunteer at the school or in the community, what
kind of volunteer work would you do and why?
If I’m supposed to be a volunteer at school or community, personally speaking, I
prefer to help poor students in their education due to two reasons. First, poor
students have less access to good education because they can’t afford to enroll in
good schools and hire teacher to improve their education. Lots of them have to
work along with their study so they have less time and energy to study.
Furthermore, I really enjoy teaching. It boosts my self-confidence. I find
satisfaction in teaching to children and feel honored to do a teaching volunteer
work. That’s why I like to teach as a volunteer work.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the statement: artists and musicians are
important to our society.
I strongly agree with this statement that artists and musicians are important to
our society due to two reasons. First, they are the best symbol of the culture.
They can show what the culture or a society is. For example, going to theatre is
the best way to get familiar with a lot of culture. Last year, I was in Rome, my
brother and I went to the theatre, kind of clothing and way of talking helped us
understand what the culture is. Besides, people are really perceptive to musician
lifestyle. How they behave and what they use would affect all aspect of people’s
lives. For example, what clothing style that artists have will encourage people to
change their clothing style. That’s why artists and musician are vital to a society.

23. 101023CN=090801NA
S1: Talk about one activity you will do in the near future. Explain why you
want to do this activity.
I’m supposed to be a volunteer at school in the near future, I personally prefer to
help poor students in their education due to two reasons. First, poor students
have less access to good education because they can’t afford to enroll in good
schools and hire teacher to improve their education. Lots of them have to work

14
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
along with their study so they have less time and energy to study. Furthermore, I
really enjoy teaching. It boosts my self-confidence. I find satisfaction in teaching
to children and feel honored to do a teaching volunteer work. That’s why I like to
teach as a volunteer work.

S2: Some students take notes very often during class. Other students do not
take notes or rarely take notes. Which do you think is better?
Personally speaking, I prefer to take note as much as I can during the class due to
two reasons. First, it provides an opportunity for me to review what the professor
has taught in the class when I came back home. For example, I used not to take
note during the class, when I came back home, I had difficulty remembering what
the teacher had taught, so I made a decision to take note during the class.
Furthermore, as matter of fact, I could not rely on other students’ notes and I only
can read my notes, I believe that any student takes note in a way that he /she can
know what he/she was writing.

24. 101031CN=090925NA
S1: Describe an important day in your life. Explain why it is important.
For me, the day I was accepted in a high-ranked university in my country was the
most important day in your life due to two reasons. First, it revolutionized my life
since after graduation I had no difficulty finding a decent job in my hometown

S2: Watching TV is not a good use of time. Do you agree or disagree?


I strongly disagree with this statement that watching TV is sheer waste of time
due to two reasons. First, watching TV helps us gain a lot of knowledge about
many different subjects. For example, documentaries give us extensive
knowledge of animal, human beings, and history. So, watching TV enhance our
knowledge and broaden our horizon. Besides, TV is the best means of
entertainment. It really fills our leisure time. Personally. I’m an introverted person

S1: Describe a historical event that you’re interested in most. Explain why you
are interested in it and want to know more about it. Include reasons and
examples to support your response.
A historical event that I’m really interested in and want to know more about it is
World War II due to two reasons. First, the happenings in the war are really
informative and helpful. For example, we can learn a lot about what was the
causes of the war. If any war is going to happen, we can refer to the causes and
effects of the previous war and stop a new war from arising. Besides, nations

country. They should be aware of unpredictable events and ready for handling
those situations .

wears can show his or her personality.
I strongly disagree with this statement that what people wear can show their
personality due to two reasons. First, we all know that clothes have specific color
and color represents unique meaning. For example, red represents energy and
blue shows calmness. We can reach the conclusion that people who put on
clothes with these colors have different characters. Besides, style of clothing
would the symbol of personality. For instance, a man who wears suit at work may
be a disciplined person or a girl who dresses down may be a lively person.

working hours in the metropolitan city and lead a healthy lifestyle. Besides, it is a
popular holiday resort, lots of people go there to enjoy its fresh air and its

morning due to two reasons. first of all, at the beginning of the day I have a lot of
energy; so, when I am working, I can easily concentrate. If I stay up late doing
some activities during the night, I have difficulty wake up soon in the morning; so,
I will lose my class on that day. Furthermore, working on my assignment in the
morning provides an opportunity for me to have fun in the evening because I
have spare time and I am free from any stress of not having got my works done.

this type of movie.
Personally, I don’t like to watch fiction movies due to two reasons. First, I believe
that the theme of these movies are repetitive, they have usually the same
subject; for example, some aliens want to attack the earth and kill of all people
living on or some scientists want to travel to beyond the earth to find new life.
The characters are usually the same but sometime the way of storytelling has
changed. Besides, these movies are really noisy and make you tired, lots of things
happen and also they don’t convey real emotion. That’s why I don’t like to see
fiction movies.

prior to entering the university due to two reasons. First, it is really a good
experience; it teaches them how to be responsible. They are entrusted a specific
task so they have to do it. They should do their best to complete their tasks and if

S2: Do you prefer to listen to live music like concert, or do you prefer to listen
to recorded music.
Personally speaking, I prefer to listen to recorded music due to two reasons. First,
I can listen to that music more times while in the live concert we are presented
only once. I can copy the file into my MP3 player and listen to them whenever I
like. Besides, it is really cost-effective because we have to pay only once and buy
the music and listen to them a lot. Furthermore, going out attending the concert
is really inconvenient due to the fact that we have to spend time and money to go
to concert. For example, last time I wanted to go concert, something came up and
I couldn’t get to there in time; so, I missed the best part of concert.

events in the past?

change our life enormously and people in the past has never experienced these
things. So if you a problem with the technology you have to refer to current

think is closer to current people; so, current people have much in common with

to the question of students and clarifying the material; h want to know how he
can act this way in the class. Besides, he always takes the control of the class and

for a couple of reasons. First, computer has provided an opportunity for people to
keep in touch with each other all over the world by getting on line whenever they
like or need. Also, it is the most cost-effective means of communication. For

computers to operate properly. These machines work in the way that human
beings could not do.

S2: Which is better for children? To grow up in a big city or to grow up in a


small town?
In my opinion, growing in a large city is more advantageous due to two reasons.
First, large cities are full of facilities. They can take the advantage of these
facilities and pursue their goal. For example, in a big city, there would a number
of prestigious and high-ranked universities and schools. So, children can study in
these schools and become learned people. Besides, large cities abound with
hobbies. For instance, children can spend their leisure time playing something in
the amusement park. When I was a child, my parents took my cousin living in a
small town and I to an amusement park. We had a good time and that time was
really pleasant and unforgettable. My cousin said that he hadn’t had such this
opportunity.

him/her? Explain why.
If a foreign visitor comes to my country, I will take him to a fancy restaurant to try
Kebab. Kebab is a traditional food made up of meat. It is really delicious and tasty.
I believe that every person should try Kebab and I know that its taste is
unforgettable. As I remember, I took a Turkish man, who was my guest, to a
traditional restaurant and ordered Kebab. After a year, he came back to my
country and phoned me and asked me to take him to that restaurant we had gone
last year. He told me, the best meal in my country is definitely Kebab.

program ; so, I asked my roommate to help me install it. As a matter of fact, he
was a computer programming student and skillful enough to solve any problem
related to computer programs. He taught me that all computer programs have
specific executive file specified for installing the software. I learnt how to find
executive file and how to follow the process of installing a computer software.

eager students who want to acquire knowledge of computer programming.

S2: Some people like to watch or listen to news every day while others do that
occasionally. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and
examples to illustrate your point.
Personally speaking, I prefer to watch or listen to news every day due to two
reasons. First, news transmits a large amount of information so if I don’t listen to
the news, I will definitely lose a lot of information. For example, I always watch
news on TV every day in a specific hours. I pursue the news about political
matters on TV. Besides, my friend and I are willing to listen to news and talk about
them and interpret them. We also have specific Web sites to share our comments
all over the world. If I miss the news one day, I will be upset. So listening to news

large store, there were many types of tool in there and I had a profusion of
choices to select. I could easily find what I needed. Furthermore, a large number
of people go there day in day out and buy; so, new items are replaced every day.
For instance, if we want to buy fruit and vegetables, we are sure that they are
fresh.

years in your country? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why you

In my opinion, the most important development in my county over the past 20
years is the expansion of transportation systems due to two reasons. First, the
development has make the travel cost-effective. Although the routes are long, a
large number of buses, trains, so forth are giving service to people and people get
to their destination in time. For example, in my home town, in the past, there
were only two buses for each route and people has difficulty getting to work,
however, now , the number of buses has increased and people get to work on
time. Besides, buses are giving service day in day out around a clock, so people

your response.
I believe, one of the most memorable experiences in my life was the time I had
gone to a restaurant near my flat. I usually go to that restaurant because it serves
very delicious meals. One time I was there, I visited a cool man who is now one of
my close friends. He had ordered but it took a comparatively long time to serve
his meal. So, he had become sad. Because he had sit my next table, I started
talking to him and explain that It would have been a problem then I told him this

in order to be successful at sports. Others believe that any person can become

reasons. First, to become successful, people should practice a lot and they have to
spend a large amount of time. Besides, they should do practice through specific
plan made by an experienced sportsman or a coach. Making a long-term plan for
sport play a significant role. Furthermore, food and the number of meals they

class makes me surprised. Besides, he always takes the control of the class and
doesn’t allow students disturb the class by making noise and eating something

of fact, his ability inspires me to be a teacher.

2:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young children
should learn to draw or paint. Include details and examples to support your
answer.
I strongly agree with this statement that young children should learn to draw due
to two reasons. First, it is the best way for children to express their emotion due
to the fact that children have limited vocabulary, painting allows them to express
their happiness and sadness. For example, I was a small child, I drew something
for my father, what I drew gave my father an insight into my interests and
passions. So, he became aware of my desire. Besides, drawing helps children learn
to be persistent. For instance, when a child couldn’t draw a flower nicely, he will
try to make it better and draw something beautiful.

If one of my friends has difficulty talking in front of a large number f people, I will
give him two suggestion. First, I recommend him practice more at home and try
to memorize some parts of the lecture and presentation; besides, asking someone
else to listen to his talking , as matter of fact, it is better to find a mock audience.

recommendation to get rid of my stress.

S2: Do you prefer to have fast food in a fast-food restaurant, or do you prefer
to have food in other kinds of places?
I personally prefer not to have fast food in a fast-food restaurant due to two
reasons. First, fast foods are not healthy. I believe that I have to avoid eating
anything that prevents me from leading a healthy life. For example, fast foods are
made up such ingredients that are not nutritive, we eat them with a great deal of
sauce that it makes the food unhealthy. Besides, eating food in such restaurant
makes me really nervous because a large number of people are in rush and come
in and move out; so, a crowded place for having food is not suitable and it put our
health into danger.

usefulness of drawing in child development. They said that it is useful due to two
reasons. First, it is the best way for children to express their emotion due to the
fact that children have limited vocabulary, painting allows them to express their
happiness and sadness. For example, a small boy draws something for his father,
what he draws will give his father an insight into his interests and passions. So, he

S2: Some students prefer to take an essay question where they must write an
essay to a question. Other students prefer to take a test with objective
questions. Which type of exam question do you prefer? Give reasons and
examples in your explanation.

it is easier to support the topic in essay question because there are different kinds
of statistics, examples and information that you could add to writing. Besides, you
25

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People who are 18
years old are not mature enough to vote.
I strongly disagree with this statement. I believe that people who are 18 years old
are mature enough to vote due to two reasons. First, 18 year old people have a
complete mind and they have ability to make a decision. For example, they can
distinguish what is proper and what is improper. They can understand what is lie
and what is truth; so they can realize which candidate would be the best choice.
Besides, they can control their emotion and they don’t easily lose their control.
For instance, when they hear some gossip or slogan, they won’t be affected and
do something wrong.

S1: Our society is now facing very serious environment problems. Choose one
approach that you believe to be useful to save our planet.
In my view, the most effective way of preserving the environment is using
renewable energy sources instead of burning fossil fuels due to two reasons. First,
it is free. We can use our nature features and get energy without spending a lot of
money. For example, wind is the common phenomenon all over the world, so, we
can easily produce electricity just by installing the wind turbines. Besides, it is
ubiquitous that means we can find renewable energy sources such as wind and
sunlight everywhere. For instance, we can easily install solar panels in a place
where there is no shadow or any barrier which block sunlight and produce solar
power.

S2: Are you willing to carefully choose the gift which your friends like or
choose whatever you like?

like due to two reasons. First, I want to make my friend happy so I should give him

26
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
a present that he really likes. For example, I really like story books but my friend
wants to have a video game; I’m sure if I give him a book as a gift, he will be
disappointed. Besides, we should respect towards our friends desire and taste. If
we give them whatever we like, they would think we don’t care about the desire
or we belittle their tastes.

subject; for example, some aliens want to attack the earth and kill of all people
living on or some scientists want to travel to beyond the earth to find new life.
The characters are usually the same but sometimes the way of storytelling has

things that happened to all of them. I always go on a trip with them every
weekend and we spend our time with each other going out to fancy restaurants
or museums. Furthermore, being with family members makes me feel happy and

family members, I throw my stress away because all of them are really kind.

beginning of week and study this amount or divide my hours throughout the

knowledge every weekend and take a test; so, my progress will be obvious.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing computer
or video games has a negative influence on teenagers.
I strongly agree with this statement that playing computer has negative effects on
teenagers due to two reasons. First, it is really sheer waste of time, teenagers
should spend their valuable time studying at home and do their homework and in
the leisure time, it is better to go out playing soccer or do exercise. Besides, it has
bad effects on their health. For example, watching TV screen or monitor in the
long run has a bad effect on eyesight. Radiation emitted by screen produce
eyesight problems.

Personally speaking, I prefer not to listen to Rap music due to two reasons. First,
it is really meaningless. I believe that listening to Rap music is a sheer waste of
time because it doesn’t convey anything meaningful’ and also it doesn’t express
any emotion. Besides, it is really noisy; a lot of singers are singing and also loud
music makes me feel ill. For example, last time, I listened to Rap music, I got a bad
headache and l had to take pills to alleviate my headache.

S2: Some college students like to spend their free time studying another
course or doing schoolwork. Others like to join a club and enjoy club
activities. Which do you think is better and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to join a club and enjoy club activities due to two
reasons. First, it provides an opportunity for me to enhance my social skills. For
example, at the club, a large number of people are coming in and coming out
around a clock and I can learn how to behave and how to interact with them.
Besides, it helps me make a lot of friends, who have a lot common with me. For
instance, last week at the club, I became familiar with one of my close friends. He
is really cool and has a sense of humor; we laugh and have fun most of the time.

students should learn how to manage their time more efficiently.
I strongly agree with this statement that university students should learn how to
manage their time due to two reasons. First, I am of the opinion that successful
students have always had plans for their future and would not do something
without any plan; so, I make plan for all of my activity in this way I will ensure my
future to become a successful man. Furthermore, organized students have less
stress. For example, if I have no plan for my activities, I will run into a huge
problem and I will be overwhelmed by stress. When I was at college, I created
long-term plan for my semester therefore, I had no problem during the semester
and I did all of my projects and homework in time.

S2: Some people think it is better for students to study in a classroom


building. Others think that it is better for students to study on the Internet.
Which do you think is better and why?
Personally speaking, I think, it is better to study in a classroom building due to two
reasons. First, in the classroom, students can concentrate better to material and
there is no distraction. For example, in the classroom, all students are silent
listening to teacher; but on the internet something distractive may come up.
Besides, in the classroom, students can interact with each other and go through
discussion and also exchange ideas. For instance, discussion groups are the most
important part of a class that give students a chance to enhance the self-esteem
and other important characteristics.

S1: Describe a performer, an actor or a musician, etc. that you think is great.
Please give specific reasons why you think he/she is a great performer.
In my view, Thomas Anders is the greatest actor all over the word due to two
reasons. First, he easily and professionally conveys his emotion. He can easily
perform a lot of different roles with different emotion. For example, when he

S1: What are some of the benefits that cell phones bring to people?
Cell phones have a lot of benefits. First, we, nowadays, are dependent on our cell-
phones. Cell-phone performs lots of roles for human beings; it is the best means
of communication, also it is a small computer, we can get online and do many
things such as banking transactions, book a ticket, and buy a book. Furthermore,
application installed on the cell-phone are really helpful such as GPS, dictionary,

dictionary installed on my cell-phone and save my time searching for definition of
vocabularies in the dictionary.

S2: Do you agree or disagree that students should be required to go to school


before they are 16.
I strongly agree with this statement that students should be needed to go to
school before 16 due to two reasons. First, students should learn how to read,
count, write at the beginning of their study; so, people don’t study and go to
school have definitely difficulty reading, counting and so forth. Besides, going to
school helps them get more knowledge which is used for their career or jobs. If
people don’t have enough knowledge, they cannot become successful in their
career. In the school, also, students are taught how to interact with each other, so
this skill helps them make good connection with other people in the society.

Internet on modern people’s life? Use specific details and examples to support
your response.
In my view, the worldwide availability of the Internet has had two important
effects on today people’s life. First, people have become more knowledgeable.
They easily get online and surf the Net. For example, I usually get online every
morning and read morning news and some articles from New York Times. It has
helped me learn many useful things. Besides, people communicate with each
other more easily. For instance, my brother is studying at a university abroad. I

nobody will miss his/her family.

S2: Some students prefer to go to universities or colleges in their hometown.


Others prefer to go to universities or colleges in new cities or towns. Which do
you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.
Personally speaking, I prefer to study at a college in new city due to two reasons.
First, I believe that studying and living in new city provides an opportunity for
students to become familiar with a lot people with different culture. So, I can get
acquainted with a lot of culture first hand by being in close contact with people
from another country. Furthermore, different cities have different programs. For
example, abroad universities often have unique programs that help students get
more knowledge in comparison to students studying in their home town
university. So, these students will be experienced and knowledgeable after
graduation.

S1: People often feel home sick when they are away from home. What do you
often do to deal with home sickness?
To deal with home sickness, Personally, I prefer to join a club and enjoy club
activities due to two reasons. First, it provides an opportunity for me not only
cope with my sickness ,but also to enhance my social skills. For example, at the
club, a large number of people are coming in and coming out around a clock and I
can learn how to behave and how to interact with them. Besides, it helps me
make a lot of friends, who have a lot common with me, and makes me really busy.
For instance, last week at the club, I became familiar with one of my close friends.
He is really cool and has a sense of humor; we laugh and have fun most of the
time.

S2: Do you prefer to take courses related to a specific career, or do you prefer

information or data. Besides, I can get different experience by doing a large
number of courses. For example, to be a successful businessman, I should many
different knowledge and study as much as possible. Furthermore, different
courses provide many opportunities for me to become familiar with a lot of
people. I believe that getting to know more people and have a good relationship
with them makes a career prosperous.

S2: Do you like to prepare for something in the beginning or wait just before
the due date?
Personally speaking, I prefer to prepare for something in the beginning and make
plan for it due to two reasons. First, I am of the opinion that successful people
have had plans for their future and would not do something without any plan; so,
I make plan for all of my activity in this way I will ensure my future to become a
successful man. Furthermore, organized men have less stress. For example, if I
have no plan for my activities, I will run into a huge problem and I will be
overwhelmed by stress. When I was at college, I created long-term plan for my
semester therefore, I had no problem during the semester and did all of my
projects and homework in time. If not, my stress didn’t allow me to do them
properly.

S1: One of your friends is going to study math as his major. What suggestions
would you give to this friend?
If one of my friends wants to study math, I will offer him 2 suggestions. First,
choosing a good university offering excellent math program because these
universities have knowledgeable professors and he can take the advantage of
professors’ knowledge; so, it helps him to get more knowledge of mathematics.
Besides, focusing on the concepts of mathematics because the concepts help him
understand functions and formula and apply them properly in many different
parts. Understanding the concepts is necessary because all parts of mathematics
are closely related; otherwise, all parts seem complicated.

S2: Some people would borrow money to buy things they need. Others would
save up money until they can afford it. Which would you do and why?

32
www.aalaee.com

Prepared by Javad Kh
Personally speaking, I prefer to borrow some money to buy something I need due
to two reasons. First, borrowing some money helps me buy specific things I need
in due time. For example. Last year, I wanted to buy a car, I didn’t buy the car
because I couldn’t afford it, now, I have enough money, but there is no car
available for selling; so, I lost my chance of buying that car. Besides, price of
objects would change and I have to save up more money to buy them. For
instance, in my county, we have inflation, so, price of anything is rising every day.
As a result, if I don’t borrow money to buy things today, tomorrow, I won’t buy it
since I have less amount of money and I can’t deal with it.

S1: Talk about two singers who are popular in your country. Explain why
they are popular and how they are different.
There are two popular pop singers in my country, they are well-established and
popular because both perform excellent. Their voice is nice, when you listen to
their works, you will be captivated and become a real proponent. They are
different because one of them uses traditional ways and old style to make a song.
He believes that there are a large number of old people willing to listen to pop
music in traditional way because it evokes old memories in their minds. But, the
other one uses modern ways of singing. He believes that pop music is a kind of
modern music and we shouldn’t use old-fashioned styles in our works. He says
that people want to be lively and listening to that kind of music makes us
depressed.

S2: When they meet a problem, some people prefer to seek advice or help
from people who are older than they are, while others prefer to seek advice or
help from people of the same age. Which do you prefer and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to get help from older people for solving my
problems due to two reasons. First, I believe that people have ran into the same
problems as I come across in the past. Asking help from people who have
experienced these kind of problems allows me to address my problem easily and
quickly and not to do something wrong. Furthermore, a variety of ideas for
solving the problem provided by different older people make it possible to choose
the best way of resolving the problem. When I run into a problem, I ask help from

insight into resolving my problems.

from such an experience?
In my view, keeping a domestic dog at home is really a good idea. I have a
domestic dog; I helps me lead a healthy lifestyle by a variety of ways. First, It
changes our lives. I used to be an introverted person, but keeping a dog helped
me to be sociable person because I bring it to park every day for walking, so, at
park, I meet a large number of people and can socialize with them. Besides, it
helps me to be fit. Playing with my dog is not only fun, but also the best way do
some exercise. For example, when I go park in the morning, I chase my dog and
have fun, in this way, running helps me to stay fit.

S2: Should students start to plan their career before entering college, or
should they do so until they have entered college and studied for a period of
time?
In my view, students should start planning after entering the college due to two
reasons. First, they should gain more knowledge about a variety of subjects.
Before entering the university, students have limited knowledge, so, studying at
the university allows them to become familiar with a lot of subjects. Besides,
during study at the university, students are more likely to get a part-time job or
complete a work course, so, it helps students get experience along with their
study and implement what they have leaned in the class. Furthermore, students
are informed of the ways of setting up a business or running their own business,
so, it helps them reach their goals easily.

reasons. First, people are affordable these day. They easily find a decent and well-
paid job especially in the metropolitan cities. They get paid a lot or if they have
their own business, they make a wealth of money. Besides, technology has come
into our lives, so, it helps us be comfortable. For example, we can travel to any

city which our relatives live there and keep in touch with them.

nowadays work harder in their study than students in the past.
I strongly agree with this statement that students nowadays work harder in their
study than students in the past. due to two reasons. First, the competition for
getting a decent job is now tough. These days there are not enough job available
for all graduate students; so, they have to study hard to find a good job. Besides,
companies’ managers are more willing to employ knowledgeable graduate
students with higher GPA or acceptable resume, so, students should study more
to become a learned person. For example, last year, I applied for job in a big
corporation, managers took a look at my CV and asked me some questions to
assess my knowledge, if had had a weak resume, I wouldn’t have got the job.

has asked you for advice on how to handle this money. What advice would you
give to your friend? Give reasons for your answer.
If one of my friends have a hoard of money, personally, I recommend him tow
ways handle his money. First, I suggest that he should invest his money in the
stock market because he can make more money. The stock market is a secure
place for investment. People prefer to amass a fortune by this kind of investment.
Second, I will give him advice that start up his own business. It is helpful because

ideas. Socializing with them helps him have a happy life.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with this statement? People should dress
according to the latest fashion.
I strongly disagree with this statement that people should put on clothes
according to the latest fashion due to two reasons. First, latest fashion clothing
style is really expensive. For example, new jeans and sneakers are among
fashionable clothes which are popular among young adults and teenagers. They
pay lots of money to have one of them to show themselves off. Besides, recently,
the latest fashions are ridiculous. For instance, some new jeans have holes or
stains. These kind of clothing are not appropriate for showing up in the
community. they seem kind of old or wore-out.

S1: Many regions in the world face problems with air pollution. What can be
done to decrease the amount of air pollution in these regions? Use details and
examples in your response.
In my view, the most effective way of addressing this problem is using renewable
energy sources instead of burning fossil fuels. We can use our nature features and
get energy without spending a lot of money. For example, wind is the common
phenomenon all over the world, so, we can easily produce electricity just by
installing the wind turbines. Besides, taking the advantage of public
transportation has a profound effect on reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the
atmosphere. If the number of buses increases in the cities, people will be willing

to use their own cars for travelling or commuting, so, the amount of air pollutants
in the atmosphere will decline.

S2: Given the choice, many people would prefer to live in an older or more
historic building or house. Others would prefer to live in a more modern
building or house. Which would you prefer, and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to live in a more modern house due to two reasons.
First, modern houses are spacious. They are designed in a way that space is used
as efficiently as possible. For example, arrangement of corridors and rooms and
their plans do not utilize space haphazardly. Besides, the amount of light coming
into the house is remarkable. Windows are big enough to allow light to come in
the house and there are a lot of small windows on multiple sides of a room. I
believe that maximizing natural light levels can cut down on energy costs during
the summer months.

photographers, musicians, painters. Explain why.
Given the choice, I opt for musicians because I believe that they are important to
our society due to two reasons. First, they are the best symbol of the culture.
They can show what the culture or a society is. For example, going to the opera is
the best way to get familiar with a lot of culture. Last year, I was in Rome, my
brother and I went to the a well-known opera, kind of music and style of
performance helped us understand what the culture is. Besides, people are really
perceptive to musician lifestyle. How they behave and what they use would affect
all aspect of people’s lives. For example, what clothing style that artists have will
encourage people to change their clothing style.

S2: Which do you prefer, reading paper books or reading electronic books?
Explain why.
Personally speaking, I prefer to read electronic books due to two reasons. First,
they are delivered in the blink of an eye. you can purchase a book, download it
and read it without going out to a book store and waste your time. Besides, they
are portable. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you, on CD,
in a laptop, notebook or any eBook reader, without worrying about their weight.

In my opinion, the expansion of transportation systems is the most important
change in my county due to two reasons. First, this development has made the
travel cost-effective. Although the routes are long, a large number of buses,
trains, so forth are giving service to people and people get to their destination in
time. For example, in my home town, in the past, there were only two buses for
each route and people had difficulty getting to work, however, now , the number
of buses has increased and people get to work on time. Besides, buses are giving
service day in day out around a clock, so people have no difficulty commuting to
work and home.

study abroad. Other students prefer to live with local family when they study

favorite activities without being distracted by presence of others when I’m
meditating. Actually, I an introverted person, so I spend most of my time at home

are successful. For example, a business man is a courageous person. Bravery
allows business man to be successful. He can take risks and try some methods or
strategies which would be risky or difficult to predict their result. Besides, brave
people have less stress. For instance, they do all of their activities with a sense of
assurance and they have no reservations about their works. With less stress they
can do their jobs and careers without fault. For instance, my father is brave man.
He always accomplishes his works without stress, so, he can complete his work

In my view, one of the advantages of having laptop in the classroom is having
access to a lot of resources. For example, students can plug in the university
network and access the library. Besides, students would learn many different
computer skills. They learn how to use specific programs and how to type
efficiently. These skill allow students take notes faster and share them with other

reasons. First, living in different places provides an opportunity for us to become
familiar with a lot people with different culture. we can get acquainted with a lot
of culture first hand by being in close contact with people from another country.
Furthermore, different places have different facilities such as good universities

the most? Helping children with communication problems, doing community
work, growing plants in the garden.
Given the choice, I would opt for doing community work such as help poor
students in their education due to two reasons. First, poor students don’t have
access to good education because they can’t afford to enroll in good schools and
hire teacher to improve their education. Lots of them have to work along with
their study so they have less time and energy to study. Furthermore, I really enjoy
teaching. It boosts my self-confidence. I find satisfaction in teaching to children

programs on television is not a good use of time.

precious time booking ticket, going out, commuting and so forth. By watching the

If I am assigned to do a task, I prefer to do two important things. First, asking

me make a professional team. They had the similar situations and know how to
deal with the problems. Besides, if we increase the number of hours working on
the task, it will provides an opportunity to cope with unforeseen problems if they
occur. For example, if we have natural disaster, we will have time to compensate.

S2: Some people prefer outdoor activities such as basketball. Others prefer
indoor activities such as yoga. Which would you prefer and why?

two reasons. First, I am a sociable person; I enjoy make a group with other people
and have fun; I have a lot of friends; I always make a plan to meet my friends
every weekend and spend our time with each other going out playing soccer.
Furthermore, being with my friends makes me feel happy and help me forget my

opportunity to gain a lot of experiences. For example, helping poor students in
their education will teach them how to be responsible and reliable. Besides,
community service boosts students’ self-confidence. For instance, I can put my
knowledge in practice by teaching to poor students and assess my patience.

S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The success of a
school largely depends on the resources it has such as textbooks and journals.
I totally disagree with this statement that the success of a school depends on the
resources. I believe that the success of a school depends on its knowledgeable
teachers. For example, I studied in a high school in my home town. We had a lot
of good teachers who have studied at high-ranked universities. They could convey
their massage and were familiar with the method of teaching; so, most of
students could keep on their studies at a prestigious university ; however, my
cousin studied in a high school whose teacher were not updated and
knowledgeable so he couldn’t be accepted at a university. Besides, the success of
a school counts on its students. If students have hard-working attitude and

I generally agree with this statement that students should learn computer skills at

encourages students study more because computers have a lot of useful software
and applications that provide excitement in learning. Besides, learning computer
skills gives students a chance to learn to get online and take the advantage of the
Internet. So, by the internet, students can share many things and gain more
knowledge.

handed in their assignment in due time to do other activities in due course. For
example, when students receive the same score as other students who handed in
with delay, they will lose their enthusiasm do their assignment in time. Besides,
losing mark for delay as punishment will make students be responsible for their

68. 111209NA S1: What are the advantages and disadvantages of allowing
students to eat in class? Use specific details and examples to support your

In my view, one of the advantages of eating in the class is that students will feel
that the class doesn’t have as sense of restriction and they can feel freedom, so, it
is helpful because students with this sense can easily ask many questions and
expect to receive response and friendship will be spread. One of the
disadvantages of eating in the class is that students will be distracted. For

students from staying focused.

S2: Some people like to collect old things such as newspapers. Others throw
things away after they have used them. Which do you prefer and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to throw these kind of these away due to two
reasons. First, they take up space. For example, I am living now in a small flat so
my home is not spacious enough to put them aside as a result I am willing to
discard them. Besides, old objects are not usable or out of date. For instance,
news in the newspaper are helpful only for one day so after that they are not
applicable. Besides, if I want to have something, I can borrow it or buy it again.
Something always are available especially with the advent of the internet.

69. 111217NA S1: Describe one way to improve the system of education in
your country. Use specific details and examples to support your opinion.
In my view, the most effective way of improving the education system in my
county is expanding they use of the internet and virtual education through the
internet. These days in my country, few people have access to the internet so
they are not informed of many things. If the internet become widespread, most
people can get online and use the educational packages. For example, people
who live in the countryside have the least facility for education, so, by the
internet, they can be taught and learn new things. As a result, the more internet
coverage, the more educated people would be in my country.

S2: Some people like to reading paper books while other like to listen to audio
books. Which do you prefer and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to listen to the audio books due to two reasons. First,
they are portable. For example, I totally spend most of my time commuting. So, I
have a lot of spare time, therefore, I can make the best use of my time by
listening to the audio books in the bus or train. Besides, they take up less space.
For instance. I now living a small flat in my hometown and it is not spacious
enough to put a lot of books in my library. So, the best way for collecting a large
number of books is having them electronic files. My mp3 player is spacious

enough to fill more than 1000 audio books in. in addition, listening to the audio
book doesn’t need light, so, we can listen to even at night.

S1: What kind of food do you recommend to add to the food menu of the
campus cafeteria? Use Examples and details to support your response.
In my view, meaty food should be added to the food menu of the campus
cafeteria due to two reasons. First, food that have meat are more energetic. For
example, most of students need a lot of energetic food to stay lively. They spend
most of their time in the class so they should have much more energy to stay
focused. If they eat food which are made up of meat, they will be more energetic.
Besides, meaty food are easy to prepare. For instance, chefs in the cafeteria can
easily make meaty food because they need only oven, oil, onion, and meat. In
addition, meaty food are becoming increasingly popular among students, so, the
campus cafeteria can easily make more money.

S2: Some people like to buy new and expensive books while others prefer to
buy old and cheap ones. Which would you prefer?
Personally speaking, I prefer to buy old and cheap books due to two reasons. First,
I’m now in a tight budget. So, I have to save my money for buying many things. I
can also buy a large number of books with small amount of money in the
supposition that old books are in a good condition. Besides, some people like to
make notes in the book which are always useful for next readers. Buying old
books allows me to read those comments and save my time in reading the book.
My experience shows that those comments are the gist of a chapter.

S1:已考S2:Should people be encouraged to visit science and art museums?
It is advisable that people of all age visit science art museum due to some
reasons. First, they can broaden their horizon. A visit to science museum helps us
to gain a deeper understanding of our physical world, especially the universe.
Besides, it is a good idea for young children to appreciate works of art in the
museum as they start to realize that there are many other important things
besides their academic studies. In addition, visiting history museum reminds us of
our traditions, customs, and the failures and achievements in the past.

S1: If you were to choose a place to live, what kind of location would you
prefer and why? 1. A place close to school 2. A place close to your family 3. A
place close to a transportation hub (airport or bus terminal, etc.)
Given the choice, I would opt for a place close to transportation hub due to two
reasons. First, it is the most cost-effective way of accessing all places I like to go.
For example, I’m now live in a small city, I can easily travel to any place with a
small amount of money by bus. Although the number of buses are limited, they
completely cover all regions especially one route exactly past my parents house.
Besides, buses are giving service to people day in day out around the clock. For
instance, if I want to go my parents’ house even late at night, there will be a bus
which is working up to dawn to give me a ride.

S2: Some people think the best way to study is to attend a lecture. Others say
that it’s better to read by yourself. Which way do you prefer and why?
Personally speaking, I prefer to attend a lecture for study due to two reasons.
First, there are a large number students attend the lecture, so, it provides an
opportunity for students to share their ideas and discuss the topic of study.
Having a discussion and sharing idea helps students learn their weaknesses and
address their problems. Besides, after the lecture, students are more likely to
make a group and talk over what happened in the discussion. For instance, I
usually make a group after a lecture in the cafeteria and talk about the
advantages and disadvantages of the lecture and the ways that are helpful for
improving the lectures.

S1: Nowadays robots are widely used in the society. What are the benefits and
risks of this?
In my view, one of the advantages of robots is giving hand to manufacturers. For
example, in a car factory, robots play a significant role, they do many critical tasks
such as welding, transporting heavy objects, and so forth. They are programmed
to do critical roles. So, they do many things that people cannot do. One of the
disadvantages of robots is that people are becoming increasingly dependent on
robots these days. Robots are doing some tasks that people can do. It is
dangerous because people couldn’t do simple tasks in the absence of robots.

S2: Should employees be required to wear suits in the workplace, or should
they wear casual clothes?
In my view, workers should be allowed to dress down due to two reasons. First, it
increase the productivity indirectly. For example, consider a woman wearing
casual clothes at work; it makes her more social and people coming into the office
prefer to visit her and start talking. So, if the number of workers wearing casual
clothes goes up, I believe that the number people like to come to the office will
increase. Besides, worker can save more money. We know that casual clothes are
cheap; so, workers can easily make a purchase and improve work quality as well
as attend the office with a variety of model.

S1: If a foreign tourist visits your city, where would you take this tourist? A
factory, a university, or a museum? Give reasons for your answer.
If a foreign tourist visits your city, I will take him to the national museum due to
two reasons. First, museum is the best place for people who have little knowledge
about a country, so, they can gain more knowledge. For example, object exhibited
in the museum represents the history and the culture of a nation. What they put
on, what they pray, and what they like all represent in the museum. Besides,
there are a large number of people in the museum who likes the history, art, and
anthropology. So, he can talk about these subjects and share his view and get
more information.

S1: Talk about one of your family members who has similar traits as you.
Describe those traits.
In my view, my father and I are quite similar in traits. First, he is patient and a
good listener. When one of the members talks to him, he consciously listens to
his/her talking and in the end ask some question about the subject to clarify some
vagueness; so, I’m always willing to talk about my problems with my father rather
than anyone else. Besides, he is encouraging, which means he provides support
and incentive. For example, when I’m depressed or in trouble, his encouragement
makes me really lively.

S2: Between the following two places, where would you choose to live? 1. Big
and new place but far from your workplace and/or university 2. small and old
place but near your workplace and/or university
Personally speaking, I prefer to live in a small flat near my workplace or university
due to two reasons. First, small and old place are inexpensive and because my
budget is tight I prefer to have one of them. I can also save some money due to
the fact that I can reach campus or workplace with a small amount of money or
even I can take a walk to campus. Besides, living in a place near the campus saves
my time. I won’t waste my time commuting. I reach the campus as soon as
possible, so, I attend the class in time. the number of hours that I can sleep will
increase because I am not required wake up early to get to campus. So, with
much more sleep, I will attend the class energetic.

S1: Which of the following three subjects would you choose to learn? Math,
painting, science. Explain what you want to learn from this subject.
Given the choice, I would opt for painting due to two reasons. First, it is the best
way for me to express my emotion due to the fact that painting doesn’t need a lot
of vocabulary, painting allows me to express my happiness and sadness easily. For
example, I was a small child, I drew something for my father, what I drew gave my
father an insight into my interests and passions. So, he became aware of my
desire. Besides, drawing helps me learn to be persistent. For instance, when I
couldn’t draw a flower nicely, I will try to make it better and draw something
beautiful.

S2:Do you prefer to use e-mails to communicate with your friends and family
members or do you prefer to use the telephone?
Personally speaking, I prefer use e-mail to communicate with my friends and
family members due to two reasons. First, it is the most cost-effective means of
communication. I can send numerous e-mail to my friends living all over the world
and become aware of their condition with least amount of money. Besides, all of
my friends have access to the internet and they check their e-mail most of the
time for example every hour; so, I am not worried about whether they read my e-
mail or not.

following would you choose? Explain why. 1.helping children with their
homework 2. teaching adults to use the computer 3. cleaning city park
Given the choice, I would opt for helping children with their homework as a
community service due to two reasons. First, it provides me an opportunity to
gain a lot of experiences. For example, helping students in their education will
teach them how to be responsible and reliable. Besides, community service
boosts my self-confidence. For instance, I can put my knowledge in practice by
teaching to students and assess my patience. It gives me a sense of satisfaction
and pride. I believe that community service is the best way to make new friends.
We visit a large number of people with different attitude and desire, so we can
expand the circle of our friendship.

transportation, or an area that is quiet but far away from shops and public
transportation?

accessing all places I like to go. For example, I’m now live in a small city, I can
easily travel to any place with a small amount of money by bus. Although the
