I’m good at photography.
What are you interested in?
I’m interested in music.
Are you good at making friends?
Yes.
Do you have good friends?
Yes, of course. I have two close/intimate friends.
What do you mean by “intimate friends”?
By “intimate friends” I mean the friends with whom you can talk about everything.
How do you keep in touch with them?
We often call each other and chat online. I prefer to use the telephone because it’s convenient and cheap.
What do you think are the benefits of making friends?
By making friends, I can communicate with different people at different time. I can learn a lot from them, such as how to deal with difficulties, how to cooperate with others or how to express myself clearly.
Do you have much in common with your friends？
I only have something in common with some of them. But this doesn’t affect our friendship.
Home, Family and Environment
Do you have your own house?
No, I live in my parents’ house. We’ve got a very nice apartment in downtown area.
What’s your home like? / Will you describe your home to me?
We’re living on the fourth floor of a tall building. It consists of three bedrooms, one sitting room, one dining room, one kitchen and one washroom. The rooms are all very well decorated. And all the pieces of furniture are very modern. My parents and I love our home very much.
Has your family always lived in your town?
Yes. My family lives there ever since my father moved there about twenty years ago.
What do you family members do for a living?
My parents are all workers.
Please tell me something about your family.
Compared with most of the Chinese families, mine is a typical traditional Chinese family. There are four people in my family: my parents, my one younger brother and I. My parents retired now. My brother is a middle school student.
Does your brother have the same character as you?
No, I’m quiet and reserved, he is lively and talkative.
What do you think of the family life?
Different people have their own opinions on family. I think family life is very important to us people. We love each other and the atmosphere in my family is harmonious.
Who do you think in your family influences you much in your life? How?
My mother. She is a typical Chinese woman. Always though she was not well educated, but she taught me when I was a child to be an honest, industrious, courageous, and resolute man. Her traits encourage me all the time.
Do you like your neighborhood? Why?
Not very much. Not far from our building, there are many restaurants. So at the meal time, large noises come from them. And the dirty water is running on the road all yearlong.
What’s the air quality in your place?
Very bad. The air is severely polluted in our place. Especially in the evening, it’s very hard to breathe when we walk outside. So I know the importance of preserving our environment.
What kind of family do you like best?
I like the large typical traditional Chinese family. But China is a country with such a large population, it’s impossible for every family to have two or more children at present.
What do you think of the single parent family?
There are many reasons for this phenomenon. First, in some families, the wife or husband has to leave their family because of their work or study. Thus leave the other one to take care of the child alone. Second, some young people had a child before they got married. Third, more and more people don’t want to get married in their life.
What do you think of the couple who don’t want to to have a child?
It’s natural. A lot of young couples decided not to have a child. They want to enjoy the world of two.
Everybody has the right to choose his own life style. Please tell us what you think about three generations are living under one roof.
This is very common in China. As the son or daughter gets married and has their own family, they would like to live with their parents. And it seems that the parents are content to live with them. As people抯 living standard is improving, dwelling place is not a problem. More and more young couples want to have their own private life. This phenomenon is becoming less and less.
Please tell us what you think about Domestic violence.
Domestic violence is becoming a serious problem both in China and in any other countries in the world. You know, we always take it for granted that children can be beaten up by their parents. As usual, the victims in domestic violence are women and children. But now, men start to play their parts in the tragedy. As violence usually occurs behind closed doors, it抯 very hard for us to estimate the seriousness of the problem. You know, not all the wives or husbands would like to tell others that they had been beaten up or punched by their spouses. As long as they don抰 hurt each other seriously, few husband or wife will call for help when they have been punched by their spouse. It抯 time for us to change our belief. We need a peaceful and democratic atmosphere in our home.

No, when there is an advertisement on the screen, I usually switch to another channel without ads.
Why do the producers advertise?
They want to make their products known to people and make them buy their products.
How do you think the relationship between packaging and shopping?
I think the technique of packaging is very important for a manufacturer. With the improving of people’s living condition, they will not only care about the quality but also choose the well packaged products with the same quality.
We can see different products have their own packaging. In some societies, when people go shopping the first thing customers will care about the cost; still in some other countries, they concern packaging of the products. I think the color, size, and quantity of items need to be considered of market economy, manufactures should pay attention not only to the quality but also to their packaging. When qualities are same, what people caring about will be their packaging. Nobody is willing to buy a good product in bad or dirty box.

Spring is a season of freshness and greenness. After the cold dreary winter months, we are glad to see the leaves and to hear the merry birds. The weather is mild, the sky is bright and the breeze blows gently. All the people are happy and gay in the park in spring. I also like to go to park, especially in spring, because I can see the green trees, blooming flowers and the birds flying about and singing cheerily.

Have you decided what you’ll do during your holiday?
I have made up my mind to study to improve my oral English.
Could you tell me something about Christmas day and Spring Festival Day?
Well, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in china. Christmas is more or less like the Spring Festival Day. Anyway, with the intercourse of western society, more and more Chinese youths are getting interested in western festival.
Please tell us what you think of people fire the firecrackers in the Spring Festival.
When I was a child, I was thrilled by the thundering sound of the firecrackers. Although sometimes, they can also bring disasters to some families: some children lost their eyes, others even lost their houses. Owing to the great loss, the government decided to ban it in downtown areas. Loss decreases, bang goes with the merry atmosphere of the New Year. I think this loss is even greater than the total amount of materials lost in the fire. Cars can kill people, but we never ban it. Firecracker is not the root of the crime. In my opinion, we should educate people how to fire them safely, for example, children must be companied by their parents. All in all, when people know the dangerous of it, they will be cautious when firing them. Loss can be saved. Luckily, the related department realized this timely. Bit by bit, the children can enjoy firing firecrackers again.

Both domestic and foreign travel can give me opportunities to broaden prospective.

In your opinion, which is the best way to travel? Why?
By air, because air travel is my favorite. I think it is very fast, enjoyable and it seems the world is becoming a smaller place to live in.
I like traveling by train. I think train has its advantages thought it’s take more time. It is more pleasant to ride on trains than to take any other means of transportation. You can walk around, especially you can stretch your legs when feel tired of sitting in a settled seat. What’s more, it’s much cheaper than any other means of transportation.
I’ll choose ship, because I want to see the beautiful scenery of sea. But sometimes I get sick in a ship.
I don’t like car journey because it makes me tired, and one has to put up with the often foolish and dangerous things that other drivers do.
Please tell us what you think about travel with friend.
As to me, I like to travel alone. The first drawback of traveling with companies results from the fact that travel is a process of constant decision making. Sometimes we even couldn’t agree with each other on what to see first. The second one lies in the difficulties we encounter during the travel: booking rooms and tickets for many people all at the same time. When I travel alone, this problem can be easily solved.
I don’t agree with you. On the contrary, I like to travel with several friends. In my opinion, to travel with friends, you will feel safer and you life will become easier. With the company of your friends, you won’t feel lonely during the long and tedious journey. But no matter what way we choose, the most important thing is that we can enjoy ourselves.

Please tell us what you think about Smoking is dangerous
Nowadays many young people have stared to smoke at an early age. They consider smoking as a cool symbol. Many heavy smokers also say they can not leave off, although they know smoking is harmful to their health. So please give up this bad habit! If you don’t smoke, don’t even try!
Today there are more smokers in the world. I think it’s very serious problem we should pay attention to. Smoking contributes to a lung cancer, from which many people have died in the past few years. In the meantime, there are many people suffering from diseases caused by smoking worldwide. Scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also to the others, especially to women and children. I think smoking should be prohibited harshly in public places such as cinemas, hospitals and stations etc.
Please tell us what you think about the Avian influenza (bird flu)?
Indeed, avian influenza is on the rampage in some parts of china and some other countries these days. Because Avian influenza can make domesticated birds very sick and kill them, so many chickens have been killed in order to control the outbreak. According to the study to date, Avian influenza A viruses do not usually infect humans. Unfortunately, not so many people know this. They believe in the rumors and stop eating any products concerned with chickens. I think these people are worrying excessively.
Ignorance is even more dangerous than disease itself. Measures should be taken to prevent it wide spread over the country, but we really needn’t be so cautious of it. The chicken is safe to eat when it’s boiled in hot water for some time. Unlike these people, I will always eat chicken. You know, it’s much cheaper now than before.
Services

I will choose an ordinary hotel because it is not too expensive.

I’d prefer a room with sunshine.
Are you satisfied with the services of the hotels you have stayed?
Their good services always gave me a deep impression, especially the star hotels.
Have you ever met some dissatisfactory things when staying in a hotel?
I once complained to the Room Service that the air conditioner didn’t work properly.
Do you use credit card when go traveling? Why or why not?
I use credit card because it’s very safe and convenient.
Can you list some services of the bank offers?
Deposit, withdraw, apply loan and loan etc.
What kind of other services have you got from the bank?
I once loaned a sum of money from the bank to pay for my tuition fee.
What do you usually do when going to a post office?
Post letters, buy stamps, remit money and subscribe to newspapers and magazines.
Have you ever post a parcel?
No, but I once claimed a parcel.
What do you need to take when claiming a parcel?
I think we should take the notice of arrival of the parcel, the identification or a letter of introduction etc.
I think the services in the department stores have been improved a lot these years. Please tell us what you think about it.
Several years ago, the customers often complained that they were spending money to buy rudeness and anger in department stores. The shop assistants often forgot that their job was to serve the customers, not to insult them. With the severe competition among the service industries, the quality of the services has been improved a lot. But I think they could do much better.
It must be pointed out that competition is a product of the development of society and it gives people a sense of the pursuit of excellence. In order to get the lion’s share in the market, good services are necessary for the service industries.
I think nowadays some taxi drivers’ services are really very poor. Please tell us what you think about it.
I agree with what you said. I think the taxi service is just so-so. They refuse to take you to a place where they think cheap or it’s too out of the way. When they have to go though heavy traffic and the taxi will have to stop too many times, the driver won’t take you there with any kinds of excuses. Drivers should know that nowadays there are many means of transportation, such as bus and subway. They all have their own advent ages: fast and cheap. So if taxi drivers don’t pay attention to their services, they will lose a lot of passengers in the future and can’t survive in the competition.
Sometimes taxi is very convenient. For example, if you are going to be late for an important appointment, you can take a taxi. But the fares are high and beyond ordinary people’s means in daily life. Anyway they do come in handy sometimes, but what they need to do now is to improve their service level.
Social Relations

I’m a worker now. I work in a factory. I’m from Henan Province.

Now, most of the college students live on campus sharing one room with others. It is a good chance to learn how to cooperate with each other and deal with different people. So we should learn to get along well with others. No matter what we do, we must think of others.
Please tell us what you think of late for the meeting.
I think this phenomenon is very common. Some people always have a lot of excuses for coming late. They often blame the heavy traffic. Sometimes they complain that they have met a friend on the road and have to exchange a few words. In my opinion punctuality is a virtue of human beings. Punctuality is regarded as a good and impartment habit in both public and private affairs of any civilized society. I think a person who is always late shows his selfishness and thoughtlessness and he will lose his creditability. So remember that punctuality means a sign of respect and reliability to others. Nobody will believe in those who always late for business. No employers will choose to give an important mission to a person who is unpunctual. Therefore, those who are always unpunctual should try their best to get rid of this bad habit.

Please tell us what you think about sex discrimination.
Recently one of my friends can’t find a job only because of the employer’s sex discrimination. Should men and women be equal? This is a question much talked about by people. Some people hold the opinion that men are superior to women in many ways. I think man and women are born equal. And women are certainly as talented as men if they are given equal opportunities. I think women should work side by side with men. Women have been distinguishing themselves not only in research institutions, but also in government bodies and other organizations. They should be equal in all aspects of life since they are playing an equally important role in society. And it is their right as well as their duty to work. So we should not judge one’s competence by the difference of sex.
Please tell us what you think about job interview.
I think one of the most important step of a successful job hunting is the job interview. There are thousands of people who are entering new careers and searching for jobs every year. In order to give yourself an edge over others when applying for the job you want, it is important to make a good impression on the interviewer during the job interview.
The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression can make the interviewer accept you or refuse you. The job interview is the time to “sell yourself” by giving examples of experiences you’ve had related to the job and by revealing your good points. Don’t exaggerate the truth. By honest, but show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job. Remember that you have the power to create a favorable impression on the others.

How do you comment on the whole section about yesterday’s terrorist attack?
I personally condemned the terrorist attacks and body bombs.
Please tell us what you think of making friends online.
This is a common phenomenon nowadays. We know that the Net world is a virtual one. When people chat online, they knew nothing about the each other. Thus it provides chances for some criminals, who knew how to hunt a “game” and catch a “fish” online. Once they find that the “game” or “fish” have been trapped, they will hunt them. There are a lot of good people, and bad ones too on line. So, before you choose to meet your online friend far away, you should remember an old saying: think twice before you act. Be careful when we make friends on line.
Please tell us what you think about the relation of relocated families and urban planning.
I think it’s really a very realistic phenomenon. In all the cities in China, there are a lot of old and torn buildings. In order to better the living conditions of the people, the government tries to plan the area. Unfortunately, some people’s benefits are damaged. So they put forward a higher compensation for their loss. But they don’t know, their acts hurt more people’s benefits.
On the contrary, nowadays in many cities, a lot of old houses and building are endangering being torn down by the governmental department in the name of the benefits of the people. But the fact is that some of the historic ones are destroyed. Sometimes people’s interests are also not very well secured. Thus many disputes arose. In my opinion, when the government takes any actions, they should consider the interests of the families concerned.

There are three stages: primary school stage, middle school stage and college stage.

Why do you think so?
Primary school stage is the one which helps the students lay a solid foundation. If one fails in this stage, he won’t possible achieve anything in the future.
If so, how do you think of the middle school stage?
I think the stage of middle school is also very important. It’s the stage that one forms his own opinion of the future. One can’t continue his schooling if one fails in this stage.

In my opinion, the most important ability is to learn the method of solving problems.

We cannot deny the charm of modern technology it brings to people, the computers is becoming more and more important in our lives. The Internet indeed brings convenience to people.

As you know, it is very difficult to keep us away from the cell phones. If you go to a mall, you will hear the constant ringing of cell phones. Like it or not, it is around you offering convenience and making you fashionable. Cell phones have many advantages. You only need to dial the numbers and the other person will receive the message. It takes much less time than any other means. You can also walk as freely as you can when you make a phone call. We cannot imagine what our lives might be without cell phones.

As a member of the society, one shouldn’t care for his own interest only. Nowadays, there are some people who only think of themselves and never care about others. I think it’s wrong for people to do so. A good life needs people to help each other. If people are indifferent to the sufferings of others, we’ll destroy the society in the end. “When you are in trouble, do you want to have somebody to help you out?”
I think the virtue of man is even better than that of that of the appearance. The development of a nation is based on the civilized behavior of its people. So let’s help each other and love each other.
