1.朋友帮忙你搬新公寓怎样感谢

　　Task 1:

　　Your friend just helped you move, talk about the things you would do to thank this friend.

Sample response

　　I would do the following for a friend who just helped me move. First, I would buy him a big dinner for the labor. Moving can be such a pain in the neck. I will take him to his favorite restaurant and let him order anything he wants with a pitcher of ice cold beer. And of course I will take the bill, he won’t have to pay a cent. Also, I’ll make sure not to turn him down when he needs my help, and I will certainly be there to return the favor when he moves in the future.

　　2.喜欢early class schedule 还是late class schedule

　　Task 2

　　Some students prefer to have an early class schedule with classes in the morning, others prefer to have a late class schedule so they can go to classes in the afternoon. Which one do you prefer? Explain why.

　　Sample response

　　I prefer to have an early class schedule for the following reasons. First of all, I don’t mind getting up early in the morning because I’m a morning person. I really like it when I can start my day early ‘cuz by the time I finish all my classes, It’d only be around noon, I would still have plenty of time to do my things before dinner. This means I can hang out with friends in the evening without getting behind schoolworks. On the other hand, having a late schedule means I’ll probably sleep in. It’ll be sun down already by the time I finish classes. I won’t have much time to do anything else after I finish my assignments.
