Task 1: If you are about to make a donation to a community, which one would you prefer? City library, animal rescue center or environmental organization.
　　此题是三选一题型。回答时可从个人角度或社会角度出发来回答问题。
　　例如选择library，可以说图书馆提升社区人文环境：比如give people more books to read->make people wiser或provide a better reading environment->attract more people to library->enrich the spiritual life of residents。另外也可以说个人的喜好：我喜欢读书->希望有更多的书读/希望有更好的阅读环境->希望可以捐钱给图书馆。
　　选择animal rescue center亦可：社会角度：有很多流浪动物(homeless animals)，既影响了市容市貌(make people feel bad)也有安全隐患(散播传染病spread disease)。个人角度：我非常喜欢小动物，很难忍受看到他们在街头露宿的惨状(sometimes when I see those homeless animals I feel very sad for them)，希望能够在收容所有更多投入，能够拯救更多的动物。
　　选择环境组织：个人角度和社会角度的出发点类似，主要是提醒人们产生保护环境的意识(to remind people of environmental protection)以保证社会的可持续发展(sustainable development)，为后代创造更好的生存条件(better living conditions for our off-springs)，也是保护自己的健康。
　　下面给出答案示例，以最常见的Library为例：
　　Q: If you are about to make a donation to a community, which one would you prefer: The city library, animal rescue center or environmental organization?
　　A: I would like to donate my money to the city library. I think this will allow the library to purchase more books and create a better reading environment. First of all, the city library is an important place for people to look for certain books or information that they want, therefore trying to make the city library more comprehensive and all-inclusive will make it more convenient for those who come for help. Besides, the library is also a place for a lot of people to do their work, simply because of its quiet and peaceful environment. If more money is donated to further construct the utilities and better the service provided, for example if the library had a coffee house where people can grab something when they feel a little tired, it'll make people a lot more productive with their work.
　　Task 2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: students should do part-time jobs before they enter college.
　　此题是机经题，题号2012.1.8ML/2010.3.20NA。题目问学生在上大学之前是否应该做兼职。正反两面的叙述皆可。正面叙述相对较为容易。
　　同意此观点可以陈述的理由包括：做兼职能让学生提早接触工作，感受工作环境;让学生感受挣钱是一件不容易的事情;鼓励学生自给自足，早日脱离父母独立生活等等。这个话题可以归到part-time job的大类里。
　　具体陈述可采用论述法，如：学生在上大学之前大部分时间都在读书，进大学之前做一些兼职能够拓展他们的视野(broaden their horizon或enrich their life experience)，让学生对于工作有一个初步的认识(establish an initial understanding of)。此外能让他们理解挣钱的不易，这样在花钱的时候就不会特别挥霍(waste their money on things they don't actually need或spend money carelessly)。还可以让学生有意识去管理自己的钱(manage their own account)，产生独立的经济意识而不是始终依赖父母(rely on their parents)，这样就能早日独立生活(live independently)。另还有一点较为依赖个人经历但也可以作为论证理由的，即人生的第一桶金给人带来的喜悦和成就感(the sense of joy and accomplishment)。
　　下面给出参考答案：
　　Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: students should do part-time jobs before they enter college.
　　A: I agree with the idea that students should do part-time jobs before they enter college. For a start, most students have been studying in school for a long time before they enter college. Doing some part-time jobs will allow them to experience something different and something that they can never learn from school. For example, they can learn about how hard it is to earn money, so that they won't spend money carelessly in the future. Secondly, it always feels good to earn money by yourself. When they earn money for the first time through their own effort, it will give them a huge sense of accomplishments, and this will possibly encourage them to live independently at an earlier age. Such experience should enrich the life experience of students and make their pre-college life more meaningful.
