1.你认为领袖必需的素质是什么

(1)信任下级：鼓励讲真话/show confidence in team-members

(2)赏罚分明：制度面前人人平等/be equal to everyone without showing favor to any particular one

(3)努力学习、勤奋工作：给大家做榜样/work hard to inspire people

(4)鼓励下级：encouraging to team-members Etc

Sample answer: (为了方便阅读，将每个小点分别列出)

Well, first of all, I think, a good leader should be encouraging enough.

For example, I had a boss, Jason, who used to say,”You are a capable young man, I know you can do it well” whenever I was not confident enough with my job. With his encouragement I was so successful in my job and became a team leader in 6 months.

Also, I believe a good leader should set good examples for all team-members. I remember my boss Jason used to workharder than any of us who were working with him in a team, even though he was the boss. We were so moved by what he did, and everybody followed his suit. So we were the most efficient team.

That's why I still remember Jason as my best boss till today.

2.你最敬重的一个人是谁?

思路：老师、父亲、母亲、领导、消防员、科学家、运动员、志愿者等等

eg. 父亲

(1)生活俭朴：live a simple life

(2)敬业精神：work hard and diligent

(3)乐于助人：be helpful to others

Please refer to the sample answer in your lecture handout (请参考讲义中的范例)

3.描叙你的好朋友要有什么样的 characteristics?

(1)热心：always help me when needed

(2)有趣：在一起不觉得闷 tell jokes

(3)知识丰富：tell things that I don't know

Sample answer:

In my point of view, I like to stay with an honest friend. I see honesty as the most important part of a friend because no one likes to hang around with a liar.

Also, I like my friends to be helpful just like my friend Tony. You know, I am bit weak with my math. Tony often spends his spare time explaining to me those difficult math problems. As a result I am doing pretty well in my math exams.

What's more, I like to stay with interesting friends. Tony is a lot of fun. He knows so many jokes that you can laugh yourhead off when you crack jokes with him.

4.Describe a person that influenced you most.

Sample answer：

The person that really influenced me most was Ms.Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature.

Her class was quite different from the other teachers.In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen.We had to get more involved in the class activities，like discussions，comments or debates sometimes.Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation.

On the other hand，she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly，she taught me how to live on my own.So that's why I was greatly influenced.Not only did she give me knowledge，but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.

5.What are important characteristics you look for in friends?

Sample answer：

I think what makes a good friend is someone who is honest，supportive，and has a good sense of humor.I just look for someone who's honest to me no matter what.He should not tell stories behind my back;he should tell me my short-comings at my mouth，but never praises me in front of me.

It is a well known saying that “A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED.” Therefore，a friend should stand by you in the hour of any sort of need.I just think that a good friend won't leave me if I‘m in trouble.They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade，care for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great.

Also，I'd love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around.

6.What charactereristics do you think a good teacher should have?

Sample answer：

In my view，a good teacher should have different characteristics.

First，a good teacher should be faithful and dedicated to the job.If a teacher is faithful to the job，then s/he never cheats and will be impartial(偏向) and students will respect such a teacher.If a teacher is dedicated towards his/her work，then s/he will teach with his/her heart.

Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience.

Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly.A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way.

Most of all，a good teacher should update his/her knowledge because further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession.

7.In your opinion, what is the most important quality of a good team member?

(1) 团结: COLLABORATIVE --- Working together precedes winning together

(2) 适应性：ADAPTABLE --- If you won't change for the team, the team may change you

(3) 有热情：ENTHUSIASTIC --- Your heart is the source of energy Etc

sample answer:

In my point of view, one of the important qualities a team-player should have is to be co-operative. You see, working in a team means we cannot be an ego-maniac who does not care about others and do whatever he likes to do. Instead, we should work side by side helping each other to finish the job well.

Also, another point I value is enthusiasm. You see nothing great can be achieved without enthusiasm. I have a colleague, Mike, who not only works hard but also inspires other team-members whenever we feel low. So it is always a niceexperience working with him. And whole team sees him as our treasure.

1.Being Humorous

素材：

It occurs to me that Mr. Bean is the person who always makes me laugh. Mr. Bean rarely speaks, but his exaggerated/odd facial expressions usually make me burst into laughter. He usually misbehaves himself, for example, he once drops his coffee on a man’s laptop and then lets someone else take the blame. Besides, his ignorance of what’s going on around him also appears to be funny to me. For instance, in one scene, while Mr. Bean is driving, he falls asleep at the wheel.

I keep several Mr. Bean series in my computer, and when I feel upset or low, or want to have a study break, I usually open the files and watch a few episodes. His zany behaviors never fail to make me laugh.

(备注：素材中选取的人物是Mr. Beans，大家在练习的时候，针对不同的题目，可以把人物换成不同的对象，比如my father，my friend等等)
