20、ces.1.Chinese food is healthier for you than foreign food.1.I agree that Chinese food is healthier for you than foreign food.Chinese food usually includes plenty of whole grains,vegetables and a good source od calcium,which are considered healthy and nutrious.Besides this,Chinese people pay special
21、attention to the ways of cooking food.The colour,the smell and the taste are allTaken into consideration as they might affect ones appeite.However,most foreign meals contain more fat and are baked or fried,ehich may cause them to lose flavour.chinese food is now eaten by a third of the worlds popula
22、tion every day and is widely considered easy to cook,economical and tasty.I dont agree that Chinese food ishealthier for you than foreign food.The traditional Chinese way of cooking vegetables may cause vitamins to be lost.Besides this,Chinese people use too much oil and salt in cookiing,which might
23、 cause many health problems.However,foreigh food,known for its varied flavours and spices,is rapidly becoming a trend worldwide.2.Staying a teenager forever would be great.2.I agree that staying a teenager forever would be great.Everybody would like to be young forever.This is a golden period in lif
24、e.Teenagers are youthful and healthy.Life is easy for them because they dont have as many worries as adults do.Life is also full of hope for them because they have the future ahead of them and the opportunity to try anything they like.I dont think staying a teenager forever would be a great thing.Te

27、rom talking to my friends.Friends are a huge part of our lives.Nobody can live without friends.My friends go through the same ecperiences as I do and because of this they can give me advice when I have a problem.They always help me when Im in need.We can talk about anything.We can share our happines
28、s and our sorrow.I take your point,but I dont think making good friends is moreimportant than spending time with my family.I prefer to spend more time with my family rather than hang out with my friends.My parents know more about me than anyone else.They are always the ones whom I turn to when I am
29、in trouble.I often spend time with them,talking about worries and my hopes for the future.They like to share their experiences with me too.Family members are definitely more immportant to me than friends.4.If I want to be happy in the future,I must have a good job.4.Someone told me that having a goo
30、d job doesnt necessarily make you happy.That might be true,but in many opinion,a good job is necessary if I want to be happy in the future.There are a number of different resons why think this.First,a good job can offer us a good salary.Money is not everything but we cannot afford many things we nee
31、d without it.Second,a high-paying job is always a big challenge.I enjoy being challenged.Furthermore,a good salary may offer us more opportunities to help others and to relax.I dont agree that I must have a good job if I want to be happy in the future.Before we discuss this,we need to talk about wha
32、t true happiness is.True happiness is to feel with your heart,and it is also to feel and experience various things during our lives.We have more important things to value in life than a good salary.5.Good marks indicate how clever you are.Some people believe that good marks indicate how clever you a
33、re,but I see things differently.School is not everything.Success and happiness cannot be measured by good measured by good marks.Students should not be so stressed out by their studies.This can often have a bad effect on their studies.This can often have a bad effect on their health.Even if we dont
34、get good marks in our studies,we can be successful in many other things in life.Good marks indicate how clever you are.Thats how I feel.Doing well in exams is the only way to succeed in a hightly competitive world.Some people dont thnk school is very important,but I disagree.Good marks show how well
35、 you have studied and how capable you are.This is what universities and employers care about.6.Learning a foreign language is important.I think that learning a foreign language is important.Language is an important tool for people to communicate with each other,as well as a way to pass on their cult
36、ure and knowledge.Nowadays,the number of people travelling to other countries is increasing.Mastering a foreign language is becoming a must for them to live in a foreign country or understand other nationalities better.I dont think that learning a foreign language is important.Take myself for exampl
37、e.I spent some in Britain on an exchange programme.I spent a lot of time learning English before I went abroad.It has been almost two years since I came back and I have forgetten a lot of English because I hardly use it now.spending too much time on a foreign language is a waste of time.1.Friendship
38、 is an important part of my life.Discuss the following statements on friendship and decide whether you agree or disagree with them.Step 2:discussing friendship with others2.A good friend must be honest,kind and have a sense of humor.3.One or two good friends are better than 100 acquaintances.4.Good
39、marks indicate how smart you are.1.I think friendship is an important part of my life.Nothing is more valuable than a good friend.I truly believe this.Friendship is not only important,but essential.In our daily life,we may face many difficulties and experience many ups and downs.Friends are those we
40、 can turn to for help.We all need friends.Without friendship,our lives would not be very meaningful.2.From my point of view,a good friend must be honest,kind and have a sense of humour.A good friend must also be trustworthy and loyal.These two characteristics go hand in hand.When we know someone is
41、trustworthy and loyal to us,we are on the road to a true friendship.When we know someone is trustworthy and loyal to us,we will take the risk that friendship requires.How can I expect to share my secrets or relax with a friend who is not loyal to me?3.I agree that it is better to have one or two goo
42、d friends than 100 acquaintances.You can share your emotions and feelings with your good friends.Whenever you are in trouble,no matter where you are,they will reach out and help you.However,acquaintances might not be those who you can turn to for help.Even if you had 100 acquaintances,you would not
43、be close to any of them.You would not exchange ideas or opinions with them.You would not tell them your secrets or ask them for advice.Thats the biggest difference between good friends and acquaintances.Skills building 3:checking your work1)15 Apirl2)my brother could get him3)Im not sure if to tell
