2.

Do you think social media is a good place to make friends? It is hard to say. Social media allows introverts to open up to strangers. And we can also make friends with people who have the same hobbies as us on the internet. However, This relationship is not strong and may break down because you no longer play the same game or enjoy watching the same TV show.

Do you want to study social media science in the future? Yes, I will. With the development of technology, many functions of social media have yet to be developed. I think this is a very innovative field.

2)

When was it built

3)

What could you do there

4)

How you feel about it

The new facility I want to describe is a park named TIANZHEN, which is located in the city centre. It is by far the largest park in our city, and which was built about 6 months ago.

The park was built to provide leisure for the citizens, so we can do all kinds of recreational activities there, including boating, flying kites, doing taichi and so on.

As for my feelings, I think it is an ideal place to kill time and relax. I mean; You will find many beautiful natural views in it, such as Wanshou Hill and Xianzi Lake. Those landscapes change with the seasons. On the weekends, we can appreciate the views there to relieve the stress from study or work deadlines. Second, the traffic system around that park is rather excellent. For example, there are many subway stations and bus stops near the gate of it. We can go there easily. Third, all kinds of sports facilities have been built in the park, like the badminton field and jogging track. Therefore, it is the very place to do exercises in the morning or after dinner, which can help the public strengthen their muscles and improve their immune system. Generally speaking, that is why I want to describe this park to you. 32

I hope my ideal house can be located next to the Summer Palace. It is the biggest royal garden of China. Therefore, I can enjoy the 横轴 2 of the Summer Palace from my window every day. 2)

What it would look like

That house had better have three floors, I can set the third floor as my private garden and plant the flowers I like. I think it would be greater if the second floor of the house had 5 bedrooms. I can take my parents and grandparents to live with me. 3)

Why you think it would be your ideal house

Oh, I almost forgot to mention it. [捂嘴轻笑] It would be better if there were some delicious restaurants in the community. I’m a foodie, so that house will meet my desire.

Describe a beautiful city You should say: 1)

Where it is

The beautiful city I’d like to describe is XIAMEN, which is located in the southeast of China. XIXMEN is a poetic and picturesque city. And the history of it can be traced back to about 1000 years ago. 2)

How did you know it

I got to know the city from a tourism documentary produce by CCTV, our official TV station, last year. Its natural and cultural landscapes impressed me a lot at the first time I saw them. 3)

When you want to go there

34

@雅思仙子张天真

I want to travel to XIAMEN in the net month because I will finish my essay at that time, and I want to use that trip to reduce my pressure from study deadlines. 4)

And why you think it is a beautiful city

There are many reasons why I think XIAMEN is a gorgeous place, First, as what I said before, it owns 横轴 2, such as LULU Mountain and TIANZHEN lake. Especially The LULU mountain, which is known for waterfalls and LULU tea. Besides, its peaks are surrounded by clouds, bamboo shoots, and temples. I really want to appreciate those views in person and take photos with them. Second, the weather in XIAMEN is rather beautiful. I mean; there are many sunny days, and I love sunshine. So I believe that city can make me feel quite cheerful. More importantly, the air condition of XIAMEN is so good. You will find a lot of trees along the streets there. And they can purify the air effectively. Therefore, if you choose to live in XIAMEN, its environment can help reduce the risk of getting diseases, like lung cancer. Generally speaking, that is why I want to describe the city for you.

Part 3 (1). Do you think having too many tourists is a positive thing for historical attractions? I don’t think so. Tourists can bring a lot of economic benefits to historical attractions, so the managers of those places can use more money to strengthen maintenance and management of cultural relics. However, too many tourists may increase the burden of historical sites, and this will make management more difficult.

35

@雅思仙子张天真

(2). What can we do to stop visitors from damaging historical places? I think both governments and individuals should make efforts. For the individuals, we need to increase the awareness of protecting traditional culture and customs. Besides, schools should add some lessons to teach students the information and knowledge about historical places. As for the governments, they can enact laws or make regulations to limit the behaviour of the public. I mean; those who vandalise ['vændəlaiz] 破坏 historical sites at will should be punished by law.

(3). Are there more tall buildings than small flats in your country? It depends. It is easier to see more tall buildings in commercial cities, like BEIJING, SHANGHAI and so on. Because big cities have denser populations. In order to meet the needs of more people, the government has to build as many as high-rise buildings. However, in the countryside, small flats are more common due to the lower house price.

(4). Why do some people like to visit historical places? There are many reasons. 1, there will be many cultural sites and historical relics worth appreciating in those places. By visiting, people can get to know the culture and customs of ancient china. 2, historical places like The summer palace are famous all over China. Therefore, people can get more likes if they post photos of themselves with the sites on social media.

Describe an interesting part of your country. You should say: 1)

Where it is

The interesting part I’d like to describe is SHANGHAI Disneyland, which is located in the south of my country. It was built about 3 years ago. And Disneyland in SHANGHAI can attract tens of millions of tourists every year. 2)

How you got to know about it

I got to know that place from my best friend Anna. She went to Disneyland before and said that place impressed her so much. 3)

What it is famous for

Disneyland in SHANGHAI is famous for its exquisite architecture, vivid scenes and excellent service. 4)

And explain why you think it is interesting

There are many reasons why I think it is an interesting place,

•

First, Anna said that at 8 o’clock every night, before the Cinderella castle, Disney would

hold a firework show. The castle will feature images of Disney’s classic animation, such as Frozen and Tangled, which will be particularly glaring /'gleərɪŋ/ in the night sky, accompanied by gorgeous fireworks. Second, in the land, you can see many classic Disney characters played by staff members, like Ariel, Elsa and Snow-white. What’s more, you can also take photos and interact with them. More importantly, in Disneyland, you will find different types of entertainment facilities, such as roller coaster, ferries wheel, merry-go-round and so on. You can enjoy the pleasure of your visit there. And it will also remind you of the good times you enjoyed as a kid.

Part 3 37

@雅思仙子张天真

(1). What’s the difference between people living in the city and people living in the countryside? Generally speaking, People in the cities may face heavier pressure due to the fierce competition. However, people in the countryside can enjoy a more peaceful life. In cities, neighbours are particularly distant because most people have to struggle with their homework or work, they don’t have much time to socialise. Nevertheless, the relationships between people in the countryside are closer because the area of the countryside is relatively small. I mean; everybody knows each other.

(2). What’s the difference between big cities and small cities? In big cities, the traffic system is more excellent. For example, people in those places can choose more ways to go out, like the subway, taxi, bus and so on. However, the traffic jam is rather heavy and air pollution is quite serious. In small cities, people can breathe fresher air, while the life is inconvenient to some extent because there are less shopping malls and important infrastructure, such as hospital.

(3). What’s the difference between the north and south part of your country? In terms of weather, the north is colder than the south. And in terms of food preference, northerners prefer pasta because they may grow wheat. In addition, because the air in the south is wetter, southerners have more delicate skin than northerners.

(4). What makes one country different from the other? 38

@雅思仙子张天真

There are many ways to distinguish different countries, such as the architectural style of a country, its local customs, humanistic quality and language. For example, how to distinguish different Asian on the street? Koreans dye their hair yellow; Japanese trim their eyebrows and Chinese love to wear sports clothes.

My cousin was only 10 years old at that time. And he was in grade 4 of primary school. In my eyes, he was rather cute with a pair of sparkling eyes and lovely dimples.

54

@雅思仙子张天真

I taught him this skill because he was so interested in Japanese animation. I mean; he wanted to understand the plot of those films without subtitles. In order to meet his dream, I accepted him this requirement.

It was an unforgettable experience to me because I felt so exhausted about that actually. The grammatical order and pronunciation habits of Japanese are rather different from Chinese, so he always forgot the right way to organize a full sentence. Moreover, as he was young, he often forgot the words what he remembered yesterday. In addition, my cousin also couldn’t concentrate on one thing for over 1 hour. I mean; after only an hour of study, he had to play for a while, which made our progress intermittent. However, it also gave me a sense of achievement. I was so proud of my little brother when he was able to have some simple conversations with me in Japanese. I’d be happy to teach him something new if I had another chance. ⚫

Why the service was so bad Last month, my friend John and I celebrated his 20 th birthday at a Yunnan restaurant named Peter’s Kitchen. It used to be a famous restaurant serving hotpot in my city.

Peter’s Kitchen is located in the city centre, and which was built about 10 years ago. Its decoration style is particularly gorgeous. Besides, There are 3 floors, all with carved wooden windows.

JOHN + 名职年外性

No one received us after we arrived. As it is located in the centre of the city, we waited for an hour for the seat. But here’s the thing. During that hour, no one offered us water or snacks. In addition, as we were not very hungry, we did not order much food. And the price of our order is not very expensive, so the waiter’s face was not good. What’s worse, the food they provided us had gone bad. We argued with the manager for 1 hour but with no result. They refused to apologise and just kept finding different excuses. Finally, we paid half the price and left unhappily. In my opinion, business in catering industry should treat everyone equally, and the service should not be decided according to what customers wear or what they order.

A childhood game you played with your friends You should say: 1)

What the game was

The game I’d like to describe is building blocks. When I was a kid, I always used hundreds of colorful blocks to construct various buildings, handicrafts or characters. Sometimes, I also gave some to my friends as a precious gift. After all, it was a work of art to some extent.

2)

When you played it

I played it when i was in primary school and middle school. At that time, I often participated in building blocks competitions.

3)

Who you played it with

And I always played it with my grandma, who is the person took care of me a lot when i was kid since my parents were so busy with business.

4)

How you felt about the game

It was a little difficult actually. As a kid, my imagination was limited, and in order to finish different tasks, I needed to imagine so many pictures to match my inner thoughts. However, in this aspect, it was also an effective way to improve one’s art appreciation ability.

58

@雅思仙子张天真

I changed my mind because XIAMEN is far away from my city, and I must spend at least 5 hours on the plane. It would be so bored and tired.

I should appreciate my change because I enjoyed several fabulous days in HANGZHOU. I mean; 1.

HANGZHOU owns 横轴 2, such as TIANZHEN Lake and LULU temple. I appreciated them, and they reduced my pressure from study deadlines.

2.

Food there is rather mouth-watering, especially HONGBO dumpling. I am a foodie, so that trip met my desire.

More importantly, the traffic system of HANGZHOU is rather excellent. For example, people there can choose various ways to go out, like the subway, taxi, bus and so on. I felt quite convenient when I was in that city.

If I had the chance, I would like to take a trip to HANGZHOU again.

Second, I also found travel guides posted by others on the social media WEIBO. They all recommended people to book a hotel near the West lake called TIANZHEN, because the food provided by that hotel is very toothsome and mouth-watering, especially the dongpo pork and longjing shrimp.

Second, I made an appointment to meet my friend Peter in a local restaurant of Hangzhou at 12 o’clock, because we needed to talk about sth. important. If I hadn’t chosen that early plane, I woundn’t have been able to get to Hangzhou before 12.

The book I’d like to talk about is called Rapunzel, which is a famous fairy tale written by Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1810 as part of Children’s and Household Tales. In 2010, Disney made an animated film according to this book called Tangled. 74

@雅思仙子张天真

I read it about 6 months ago. And the plot of it is similar to a story that my grandma often read to me when I was young.

This book is about a gorgeous girl named Rapunzel, who has a head of magical long golden hair. When she was only 1 year old, she was robbed by a witch because of her hair’s power. The witch grows her up in a high tower that no one can reach because there is no stair to climb. Every time, when the witch needs to go outside to buy things, she will use Rapunzel’s long hair as her lifting rope. Until one day, a prince came across and he found the secret of the witch and the lost princess.

I like it so much because (1)its writer is my favourite celebrity, and I like Brothers Grimm’s all books. They were attractive. Moreover, they could describe the leading roles in a very vivid way. In that book, the character of Rapunzel is so distinct. She is brave, strong and energetic. Even though she was lo cked in that high tower, she insists on finding ways to go out.

(2)This book encouraged a lot, since it tells me that no matter what happens, and no matter how hopeless, I should not give up. Rapunzel, as a lost princess, eventually won the mission because of her courage and brilliance. I really should learn her attitude of solving problems to face with my troubles in real life.

75

@雅思仙子张天真

More importantly, as what I mentioned above, my grandma often told it to help me sleep when I was a kid. And she is the most familiar family to me because she took care of me a lot. Hence, whenever I read this book, it can remind me of my sweet childhood.

You see, there is no reason for me to dislike it.

Part 3 (1). In your country, who should ask children to read, schools or parents? Both. Parents are the enlightened tutors for children. what they do and what they say will influence their kids’ personal values deeply. However, after the children enter the school, they will spend most of the daytime with teachers and classmates. Therefore, the influence of the school is also essential and irreplaceable.

(2). Do you prefer paper books or E-books? (3). Do you think printed books will continue to exist? Sure, printed books can be easier to make notes with pens. Besides, we c annot ensure that everyone knows how to use E-books.

(4). Do you think parents should continue reading? Yes, their ideas will affect their kids’ decisions and thoughts. Therefore, to some extent, their knowledge level will also affect their children’s future achievements.

76

@雅思仙子张天真

And for themselves, continuous learning can make them more adaptable to social development. For example, if they stop learning, they may not know how to use the smartphone to purchase things quickly and how to use the Google map to guide them when they lost their ways.

(5). What kind of books do children read? They read a lot, including academic books that schools require, fairy tales and some comic books. I guess they like fairy tales most, such as Cinderalla, Snow White Princess and so on. Because the plot of that kind of book is more vivid and interesting.

The game show introduces the 2018 League of Legends final. The game was played between 2 famous teams, IG and WE. At last, IG won the race by a narrow margin.

As for my feelings, I think that game show was very exciting. The reasons are listed below. First, in that show, WE had been leading all the time, but they were overtaken by IG due to a small mistake. In that game, it was a pity, but if put in the reality, it may become a regret that can never be remedied. I mean; we should always keep a careful state.

On Spring Festival, the 1 st day of the 1st lunar month, people in China would like to make some suncakes to treat guests and send to families as a kind of meaningful gift.

There are many reasons why we like to eat suncake on that event.

@雅思仙子张天真

1st, as what I said before, we often use dragon or phoenix as the pattern of suncake because those elements 横轴 1. So we think suncake can bring good fortune for us. 2nd, every family needs to clean their rooms during the spring festival. Hence, when we feel tired, we will eat some suncake to help recharge our batteries because suncake is made of nuts, which are full of energy. 3rd, suncake gives off a fresh scent and makes people feel relaxed when they eat it. Therefore, people ear the suncake in the spring festival is also a kind of enjoyment. Generally speaking, that is why I want to describe this kind of food to you. Thank you!

@雅思仙子张天真

Last year, I bought a piece of yellow tangsuit in a shopping mall near my home because I was deeply attracted by its exquisite design and bright colour. On that clothes, there is a pattern similar to the Chinese dragon. That tangsuit has 2 long sleeves and a standing collar. The colour is pink, which is my favourite one.

However, I rarely use it. Because 1st, in the past year, I had to struggle with my homework till the midnight every day due to the fierce competition in China. So, I didn’t have the time to atte nd any parties. I mean; there was no chance for me to wear that kind of formal clothes. 2nd, tangsuit was a popular clothing in the period of the republic of China. From a modern aesthetic point of view, it is a bit out of date. More importantly, its colour is too bright for everyday wear. Especially the vivid dragon on it, which makes the dress exaggerated if it is worn out at ordinary times. Generally, that is why I rarely wear it.

The thing I’d like to describe is a piece of Tang-suit, which is a kind of Chinese traditional clothes that people may wear on formal occasions. My tang-suit is a large-sized clothes. The colour is bright yellow, which is my favourite one. As for the details, it has 2 long sleeves and a standing collar. On it, you can also see a pattern similar to the Chinese dragon.

@雅思仙子张天真

I bought it about 6 months ago, when I was travelling in Xi’an, a poetic and picturesque city located in the north of China. The history of that city can be traced back to about 3000 years ago.

I took it home for some reasons. 1st, I saw the pattern model of Chinese dragon on that dress, and which 横轴 1. Therefore, I thought that piece of clothing would bring me good fortune. 2nd, as what I said before, we may wear tang-suit on formal occasions. As a media student, I have to attend all kinds of parties. So, I often wear that clothes to show my respect and sincerity to other people. 3rd, tang-suit was rather popular in ancient China, and I especially enjoy studying Chinese traditional culture and customs. Apparently, that dress is my taste.

And how they felt about that

Last month, I showed a piece of Tang-suit that I bought from HZ, a gorgeous place in the south of China, to my little brothers, Peter and John. They all shocked by its exquisite pattern and excellent manufacture. Tang-suit is a kind of Chinese traditional clothes that people may wear on formal occasions.

I showed it to them because they are very fond of Chinese traditional items and I thought they would like the dress that I bought.

It is a small-sized clothes with 2 long sleeves and a standing collar. The colour the bright yellow, which is my favourite one. On that clothes, you can see a pattern similar to the Chinese dragon, which makes the dress look quite vivid.

They both wanted me to give it to them, but I refused because I only have one. They believed that piece of clothing can bring them good fortune, because Chinese dragon 横 轴 1. And the pattern of that dress is Chinese dragon, as what I said before. Second, the way the tang-suit was made reflects the sophisticated embroidery skill that China owned about 100 years ago. So, they wanted to investigate that. In the end, I promised them that I would buy 2 tang-suits as gifts for them at the next time I went to Hangzhou.

Why you are so interested in it

The historical period I’d like to talk about is the Tang dynasty, which is generally regarded as a high point in Chinese civilization, and a golden age of cosmopolitan culture. And the Tang capital at Chang’an was the most populous and prosperous city in the world. What’s more, the history of Tang dynasty can be traced back to about 1300 years ago.

I got to know it from a documentary last year.

The dynasty was founded by the Li family, who overthrew the violent rule of the last dynasty – Sui. Tang dynasty had experienced 22 imperial rules, and more than half of the emperors were upright and dedicated. In addition, it also appeared the only female emperor Wu zetian in Chinese history.

86

@雅思仙子张天真

I am so interested in that period for a lot of reasons, and the most obvious one is that the Tang dynasty was an era of cultural openness. It was the first dynasty that appeared feminism. There were a lot of women in the office at that time. Moreover, two of China’s most famous poets, Li Bai and Du Fu, belonged to this age, as did many famous painters such as Han Gan. Obviously, it was a time of cultural prosperity.

2. Different from the present aesthetic idea, the women in the Tang dynasty felt that it was beautiful to be fat. Moreover, the clothes at that time were designed boldly enough to show people’s body shape. For example, there were a lot of strapless dresses at that time.

3.At that time, both the nobility and ordinary people had a lot of entertainment activities, such as playing polo and Cuju, a kind of Chinese traditional football game. I don’t think people living in that period would be bored.

To conclusion, that is why I am so interested in that period. ⚫

Why you wanted to win it

The award that I wanted to win is the Golden Melody Award of my university in 2018. It is our school’s biggest and the most important award in the art type.

I got to know that award from my best friend Peter, who is a jazz dancer in my university. Now, he is about 20 years old. And in my eyes, peter is rather handsome with a pair of deep eyes. He introduced the competition to me.

If I wanted to win that award, I needed to beat all the people with artistic talent to win the best singer of my university.

I wanted to win the Golden Melody Award for some reasons. First, when I was in high school, I insisted on participating in the singing contest for three years, but the school didn’t give me a chance to enter the rematch, simple because my academic store was not so good at that time. I go to know the reason because I asked my teacher later. She said 89

@雅思仙子张天真

that my singing ability could be the winner. I think art shouldn’t be tired up with anything else, it’s pure. I was very disappointed in my high school, and that affair was my regret all the time. Hence, I really wanted to get a champion to demonstrate myself. Second, I love singing. I thought that award would be the best gift for my birthday. Although up to now my dream hasn’t come true, but I think it is positive, so I will not give up. P3 1)
