1. There is a wide gap between the relationship of neighbours in urban areas
and that in rural areas. First, people in the latter
group are closer to one
another than those who live in the city. This is shown by the fact that this
group know one another’s name and even their relatives’. Another is that
there is a strong bond between people in the country that they even share
food with a neighbour who has nothing to eat, which I think seldom occurs
in the city since people are too busy to ask and care about others’ problems.
These are some of the indicators that there are differences in the
relationships of people living in the city and in the country.
2. Based on experience, I would say that people in
the city seem so indifferent
especially to strangers. It is hard for them to nod, smile, or even say hi
when you meet anywhere. They just silently walk past you, unlike in the
country where people are not scared to greet someone they do not know. In
fact, these people are always delighted to be introduced to a newcomer and
are willing to go the extra mile just to impress strangers. In the city, the
existence of a newcomer is hardly noticed because everybody seems to be
one. So to answer who makes the
newcomer feel accepted more, I would
say it is the people from the country.
An additional way to conclude is to summarize the main argument when the
answer appears too long. You can use devices that signal a conclusion such as
so,
in short,
to conclude, among others. Here are examples:
1. Compare the future popularity of Chinese and English as foreign languages
to study.
2. Compare the culture of China to that of the West.
Sample answers:
1. I suppose, the Chinese language will soon gain popularity as people around
the globe will be learning it. Then, the popularity
of the English language
will soon fade. Considering the ever-growing population of China, there is
no doubt that this will be widely spoken by people in different parts of the
world. There is a theory that China will become the world’s superpower, so
it could influence even the language to be used in business transactions and
other affairs. In other words, Chinese will become the international
language. So to meet the market demand
of employees who can speak
Chinese, people will soon be more inclined to learning Chinese. To sum up,
Chinese will be a popular foreign language in the distant future.
2. This is such a broad topic to explore because there are a lot of differences
between Chinese and Western cultures. To start, the culture of the West is
based on individualism, and this is noticeable in the way westerners value
individual rights; however, Chinese culture places more importance on
family and the nation over the individual. Another
is that people from the
West resolve conflict and strain in human relationships through laws. In
contrast, Chinese people use ethics and tolerance. In short, the two cultures
will never be similar.
Indicate an opinion at the end of each answer even if there is uncertainty at the
beginning. Here are examples:
1. Do you agree that English should be the main language of international
exchange?
2. What are the difficulties in creating a universal language?
Sample Answers
1. That is such a hard question to answer since no one can really assume what
is going to happen in the future. But it is very obvious that there is a
prevailing assumption that the English language
will be an international
language. We might use another language like Chinese, but there is a great
challenge in it, especially that everything is totally different from what
people are used to. At the moment, English is the medium of instruction
and the one used in business, so I think it is better to maintain the same
status.
2. I can’t really give a concrete answer
to satisfy your question, but let me
give it a try. Scientifically speaking, I believe that the first generation of
people had their language, but I don’t know if it was a universal one or if
they made it universal. There must have been a universal language in the
beginning, yet the problem is I haven’t read anything verifying that. If there
is, then I would love to know whether one succeeded. But I think it is so
hard to be successful creating a universal language. Until now I haven’t
heard of one language that is spoken globally. I think
this means that it will
be difficult to succeed in making one universal language.
