1、Enjoying collecting erasers, I usually go shopping at stationery stores. There I am always lucky enough to find some special erasers. Bookstore is one of my favorite shopping places, too. I go there not only to buy some interesting or useful books, but also buy movies, CDs or VCD of some super stars
2、 latest performance. I choose some small stores sometimes to dig out something odd but special or funny like candles, hairpins or perfumed soaps and so on. 2. What do you think of Beijings shopping environment?Beijings shopping environment is very convenient. There are many free markets, big shoppin
3、g centers, small stores or clothing stores in streets and alleys. So, one can always get what he or she wants in all kinds of shopping places. Both the local people of Beijing and foreign visitors find the shopping environment very clean and comfortable. The shop assistants are friendly, polite and
4、warmhearted. They regard the customers as God and ready to serve every one of them. 3. Do you prefer free market or big shopping centers?I prefer free markets because the prices of goods are not fixed by the government. I can bargain with sellers. Not only the prices are many times cheaper than big
5、shopping centers, but also the choices are so abundant. There are all kinds of clothes, trousers, toys or necessaries of life. There are also things that owned the Chinese characteristics such as Chinese national costumes, classical Chinese furniture or Chinese ceramics. Thats why more and more fore
6、ign visitors are interested in going shopping at free markets in Beijing. 4. Where do you usually go to buy clothes?TianLanTian is my first choice when I want to buy clothes. Its far from my home, but my mum and I still like to go there. The prices are low there and I can bargain with sellers. There
7、 are a great variety of clothes, but there is no guarantee in the quality of clothes sometimes. So I choose to go to big shopping center like Shuang An when buying some famous brand like Nike or Reebok. 1 5. When you buy clothes, do you value brand or fashion?In my opinion, fashion only exists durin
8、g a very short time and changes too fast. So, to buy fashionable clothes, wed better go to clothing market where the clothes are both cheap and fashionable. But I do value some famous brands in the world as these brands are always running ahead of fashion. Although they change with seasons, they sti
9、ll contain the credit and fashion. So, I think brands are never out of fashion. Unit 2 Transportation 1. Can you compare different means of transportation in Beijing?There are different means of transportation used in Beijing. First, buses are most useful and popular, because there are so many lines
10、 to everywhere in Beijing. And also, the cost of taking buses is reasonable. If you have a card, you can get 60 percent off. If you are a student, you can get even 80 percent off. Thats wonderful. On the other hand, during the rush hour, the buses are usually overcrowded, and they dont appear to run
11、 to any timetable, so you could find yourself waiting five minutes or twenty and then when one bus does appear followed by two or three others. You never know how long youll have to wait for a bus. Second, subway. Now, no matter how far you travel in Beijing subway line, the cost of it is the same.
12、So if you want to get to your destination quickly and there is a subway station near your destination, you should take the subway, because the time of every train is limited. They are more reliable than taking a bus. Last, taxi. In my opinion, you should take a taxi only when you are in a hurry. The
13、 cost of it is the most expensive among all the transportation modes in Beijing. However, do remember not to take a taxi during the rush hours. It wont be rather fast as you think as usual and youll pay much more on waiting for the traffic lights. Thats not worthwhile. 2. What do you think of Beijin
14、gs transportation? What advice do you have to improve it?I think Beijings transportation is much better than before since the line five subway has 2 been built. The line five runs through the north to the south of Beijing, so people who live in northern part could go southern much more conveniently
15、and quickly than ever before. Government has made some improvements about traffic jam in Beijing. For example, drivers whose car number is odd should drive out on odd dates, and the other drive on even dates. It is effective during those days. The traffic is much better than usual and the atmosphere
16、 becomes better too. 3. Do you think cars should be limited or encouraged?In my opinion, cars should be limited. The number of cars is increasing these years. Many problems have appeared and they are not so easy to solve. For example, we go out for eating by cars but find nowhere to park the car. To
17、o many cars are on their way home during the rush hour, which causes the traffic jam. The air pollution becomes more serious than before. There are more examples of the trouble caused by cars and I cant list them all. In a word, cars should be limited or they will make more trouble in future. 4. Wha
18、t do you think of Beijings taxi drivers?Taxi drivers in Beijing are so warm-hearted and friendly to everyone. They will play some music in their cars in case you feel bored. They will chat with you in order to make your long distance short. They will clean their cars regularly so that you can feel c
19、omfortable. They care about every detail of their cars to make every passenger delighted. 5. What can Beijing do about transportation to welcome the 2008 Olympic Games?There will be many foreigners coming to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games. So, English is so important. Taxi divers and bus conduct
20、ors should learn more English to communicate with the foreigners and do their best to help them. And also, Beijingers who travel by buses should help the foreigners around them. They should obey the rules of transportation and what they do should leave the foreigners good impression. 6. What means o
21、f transportation do you use most? What do you think of it? How do you go to school everyday?I use the buses most. In the past, the compartment is so dirty and the ticket price is not 3 so cheap. However, nowadays, the environment of the compartment is much better than before. They do the cleaning ev
22、eryday so the air in the bus is fresh. If you travel by bus and subway frequently, you will have a card. That will help you save a lot of money on tickets. I usually go to school by bus and I have a card so that I can get 80 percent off of the ticket. 7. What should we do to those who do not obey th
23、e traffic rules?First, we should tell him that what he did was wrong. People who did wrong always dont realize that they were wrong, or they think they wont be discovered by luck. And then, correct their behavior with right one, and tell the serious result of what they did. Last, urge them again and
24、 again not to do that next time. People should be aware not to obey the traffic rules. 8. What is the main reason for the crowded transportation in Beijing?China has a large population. There are too many people in the street everyday. Everybody should choose one means of transportation for their tr
25、avel unless the destination is near. As a result, buses become overcrowded during the rush hours. Due to the heavy traffic in Beijing, a bus journey can be painfully slow. Since the subway line five has been built, the pressure of subway is increasing these days. Everyone is concerned about the amou
26、nt of traffic in Beijing. Unit 3 Health 1. How do you keep yourself healthy?In my opinion, proper diet and physical exercise are the key to keep my health. First, I often eat fruits and fresh vegetables because they contain rich vitamins. When I live on campus, I eat one apple or orange everyday. Al
27、so, I usually choose one or two dishes for lunch and supper to get enough nutrition. Second, I do physical exercises everyday. I do jogging in the morning or afternoon for half an hour everyday. Sometimes I play badminton with friends in the gym. Sports make me energetic. So diet and physical exerci
28、se can keep myself healthy. 2. Do you think a good mood is important to ones health?4 Of course, good mood is very important to ones health. For example, some people are very rich, but everyday they worry about losing their property. They even become sleepless. They wont be healthy since they do not
29、 have a good mood. We are not rich, but we are happy everyday. We can be happy simply because of good weather, a birthday party with friends, or when I feel sad I can talk with my good friends, who can help me become happy again. When one is happy, he sleeps well and eats well, so he can better resi
30、st the attack of illness. We all know that a good mood helps cancer patients to live much longer. 3. What do you think of Beijings medical service or hospitals?Beijing has the best hospitals of our country, and there are various kinds of them. Doctors have excellent skills and can provide the patien
31、ts with effective treatments. Also, hospitals in Beijing have very advanced equipments. However, there are problems about Beijings hospitals. The service of some doctors & nurses are not satisfying. The charges are too high for poor people and farmers. But they are making improvements about those pr
32、oblems. 4. Do you think doing physical exercise is good for you health?Sure, I think sports are the best way to keep ones health. I often do jogging in the morning or afternoon for half an hour, and sometimes play badminton with friends in the gym. I feel very comfortable and energetic after doing sports.
