　　Should the use of mobile-phones in public vehicles be prohibited ?

　　Well, as far as I am concerned, the use of mobile-phones in public vehicles should not be prohibited.Firstly, using mobile-phone in public places is a civil right for each citizen. This right should be protected as long as it doesn’t run against the law. In fact, this behavior is mostly harmless so it’s impossible to break the law.Secondly, we have a strong need to use mobile-phones even in public vehicles. You know, in this fast-paced society, our schedules are always full and we might receive a phone call at any time. If we cannot use mobile-phones we may miss many business chances.Thirdly, it’s impractical to do a such silly thing to prohibit the use of mobile-phone.Therefore, it should not be prohibited.

A good teacher should be fully devoted to the cause of education so that he or she could do best in his/her job and win students’ respect.The second is patience. A good teacher should never lose his/her patience because this may cause the students’ ignorance of the knowledge.

And you don’t need to go to great length to find a parking lot. What’s more, in big cities, bicycles are sometimes faster than cars because cars are often trapped in traffic jams. Actually you can get rid of all those troubles that have plagued car drivers.Secondly, it is very cheap. Anyone can afford a bicycle. In fact, almost every Chinese family has got at least one bike.In addition, bicycles don’t contribute to air pollution. Travelling by bicycle can do a lot of good to your health.

Communications have become more convenient which helps us to keep frequent contacts with our families and friends. Mobile phones have brought us closer and have made the world smaller.

　　If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do?

　　Well, I would like to become a tour guide if I get a chance to choose a job freely.First of all, being a guide I could travel all over the world and visit many places of interest such as the Triumphal Arch in Paris and the pyramid in Egypt. What’s more, this could deepen my understanding of the cultures and histories of those countries.

　　Secondly, I think I could live a happy life travelling everywhere. I like travel very much and I always treat it as a good way to relax myself. So it must be very exciting to be a tour guide.In addition, I could make a lot of friends from all over the world and I might meet many interesting people.

　　Describe the most important letter or essay you've ever written.

　　The most important letter, I’d say ,is my first love letter.It took me several days to finish the letter. I had too many things in my mind to tell her that how deeply I loved her. After thinking over and over, I wrote down all the most important things and cut it down to a piece of paper. I wrote that I was obsessed by her beauty, kindness, softness and charming eyes, and that I would devote all my heart to her if she agreed to be my girl friend. Every single word was full of love and every sentence was polished to be perfect.That moment came at last—she said to me “You are a pretty good boy, I like you too”. And she became my girl friend and my new life began.

　　Where do you like to go when you are with friends?

　　Well, the most frequent thing I do in my spare time is to take a walk in a park near my college. Every time I step into the park, with the birds singing and the bamboo trees swaying leisurely, I will forget all those vexations and troubles I have got.

　　I could feel the bracing breeze touch my face and smell the pleasant scent of the grass, and then take a deep breath and all my pressure from work and study will vanish into the air. Another thing worth mentioning is that in the peaceful environment I can think over many things deeply. I can have an introspection of my past and look into the future and this benefits me a lot because it helps me realize my defects, make clear my objective and adjust my plans.
