Task 1: Talk about the things students can do to deal with homesickness.

　　Sample

　　There are many things we can do to overcome homesickness. First, we should keep in touch with our families and friends. This is easy to do thanks to the internet. Long distance calls used to be pretty expensive. Today it's different. We can call, video chat or email our friends and families for free, right from our phone. Second, keeping ourselves busy also helps. There're clubs students can join on campus. Such as film clubs, book clubs, even study groups. Students can learn from a new social group, as well as making a few friends.

　　Task 2: Some people prefer to collect old things, others prefer to throw things away after they're done with them. Which do you prefer to do?

　　Sample

　　I usually throw things away after I'm done using them. First, I live in a very small apartment. I have very limited storage space, I can't keep everything because there's simply no room for them. Some of my friends like keeping things, they rent self-storage space to keep all their belongings. I don't think it's a smart move. Basically they're paying for things they don't want to throw away to become trash. My parents do it too. They put things in drawers and closets and keep them there for years without ever touching or using them again. I would just give them to someone else or throw them away
