2. Compare Western and Chinese customs. List similarities and differences on three occasions.
As we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects.I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system.For your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and America.

It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese.But people in America prefer to forks and knives.This different result is based on different food they like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose
noodles ,pancakes and rice.What is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly.However,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture.For example,the coffee and bread have introduced to China.The famous KFC is very popular at children.
The gap of teaching system between China and America is big.Chinese students always complain about their homework.Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and relax.They have to recite many things as to get a high mark.Homework comes the first to them.
In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting .Teachers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of
memories.In a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruduates are quite different,too.I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching syetem.I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheersto our country.

4. What makes a happy marriage?
Everyone wants a happy marriage and choosing their Mr. or Miss Right becomes a vital and cautious task. A false choice may lead to an unsuccessful marriage. So we may wonder if there is a golden ratio for a happy marriage. Fortunately, someone has done some researches and put forward the so-called “Golden Ratios”in terms of height, age, monthly salary, and soul distance.
Girls hope to find handsome and tall boyfriends. The latest studies point out it is perfect that a man is 12 centimeters taller than his girlfriend. In terms of age, as we all know, girls are more mature than boys at the same age. Therefore, it is better for girls to marry those boys who are 3 years older than them. As for salary, in the Chinese tradition, husbands are the breadwinners and they shoulder the responsibility for supporting the family while wives are ought to be housewives and take care of all the family affairs. At last, it is also important to have a certain soul distance. After getting married, both husband and wife still need privacy.

However, if all the conditions meet, will the marriage turn to a happy one? Unfortunately, the answer may be “NO”.because marriage is not a mathematical formula. Then what really makes a happy marriage? Mutual understanding, tolerance and appreciation contribute to a happy marriage. Before walking down the aisles, we should bare our heart to our future spouses because we should know what person we are going to marry. Meanwhile, mutual understanding is also a bridge which can solve trivia in marriage. We should try to understand our partners and know what he or she needs and overcome the difficulties together. To learn how to appreciate is also necessary. We should believe that the person we get married to is the best in the world and shouldnt compare him or her with others because it will make our partners feel sad. We should try to appreciate our spouses advantages and value them. Meanwhile, manage to help them correct their shortcomings.
Getting married is an important step in our life. Thus we should first learn the true meaning of marriage and then make a good choice. In this way, everyone can enjoy a happy marriage.
5. Which do you prefer, living in the city or in the country? And give your reasons.
Where should we live? Some may choose to live in big cities, while other like the natural and quiet surroundings in countryside. As far as I am concerned, I would like to live in a big city because living in a big city has more advantages than living in countryside. To begin with, the city is the symbol of human civilization and there are a many facilities for living, recreation and health care. Therefore, living there is more convenient than living in countryside. For example, we can find a plenty of malls around our neighborhood, where we can buy everyday necessities at a low price. Furthermore, people concern more about their health and safety than other things in their lives. In big cities, medical facilities and emergency services are easily accessible than in countryside. Big cities also have convenient transportation and utility systems. They also offer faster Internet connections. These all make our life easier in big cities.
In addition, we can take part in a variety of events in big cities. Human being likes to live together and need to interact with each other. In a big city, the population density is high therefore there are always plenty of social activities, sports events and concerts. There are more recreational places in big cities, such as opera houses, movie theatres, clubs, and swimming pools. You will have many kinds of entertainment in big cities, and meet many

people. In countryside, however, the life may be dull and quite, and you may only have a few neighbors. Living alone with few activities can easily cause mental diseases. Some may argue that the pollution in cities makes people sick. However, with automobiles and modern highways we can easily take a break to expose to fresh air in countryside and sunshine on the beach.
In conclusion, I strongly hold that living in big cities is much better than living in countryside because of the advanced facilities and social activities in cities. Moreover, the autos and highways enable us to enjoy the natural and quiet surroundings in countryside.
6. Do you think we should worry about the environment?What can we do about pollution? Yes!
Nowadays, the environmental problems are very serious, particularly, along with the
industrial development, people always emphasize to the part of economy, but they neglect the environmental problems that to be brought by the industry. As a citizen in nowadays, we should protect our environment as possible as we can.
The biggest threat to our environment today is a variety of the pollution ,cover the gas that are brought by the cars and the mills, they will harm our health if let out to the air. And if the waste water that are let out by the mills come into the river, it can also cause the pollution of the water resource. On the other hand, the deforesting and the global warming are the important reason to cause the environment. Mankind has now cut down half of the trees that existed 10000 years ago. The loss of trees upsets the ecosystem as tree are necessary to build topsoil, maintain rainfall in dry climates, purify underground water and to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, and they can bring water up from the ground. In short, a series of deforesting will bring more pollution. Global warming results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as petroleum products, resulting in the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases then trap heat, resulting in warming of our atmosphere.
Technological development offer convenience to people in nowadays. But technological development also can impact on the environment, we need to develop technology, but in the mean time, we also need protect our environment, perhaps we are blind to the environment problems, but when it more and more serious and so that to harm the whole earth, we will too late to regret it. So we should protect our environment, for example, going out by bike to replace the car and protect the trees, make publicity for protect environment.
