        Describe a type of music that is popular in your country.

  You should say:

  what type of music it is

  where people listen to (or, can hear) it

  on what occasions people hear this music

  what types of people usually like this type of music

  and explain why it is popular.


  Actually I am not a big fan of music. I hope that I can properly define the correct type of music that is popular in China. Generally speaking, rock music is going over big in my country。Although it originate in western countries, with the development of globalization, the rock music was introduced to China. It has been really welcomed among the young people.Usually during parties, such as campus party, friend reunion, young people tend to indulge themselves with the rock music. Two main reasons are contributed to the popularity of the rock music in my country.The first point is that the rock music has amazing beats, awesome  melody, deep lyrics ['lirik] and meaning. It concerns about love,family, friendship, and it can be moving optimistic as well as cheerful.It can hit a true emotional level. Rock music is more than just compositions , it is a way of living, it is a lifelong inspiration. It helps young people release stresses from work or study.

  It connects people in an emotional way. It reflects the way people approach life.The second point is the rock music is catering to the character of the young people. You know, young people are quite energetic and ebullient, while the rock music is usually associated with fast tempo, strong beat and some aggressive expression. Under the rock music, the young people can better express themselves and obtain resonance 。

  Describe something you bought but you didn‘t use often.

  Describe something you bought (or borrowed) but have not used very much.

  You should say:

  what it is

  when you bought it

  where you got it from

  and explain why you have not used it very much.

  Speaking of the thing I bought but seldom used, it would be a shirt I bought on Boxing Day last year.

  I went to Myer and intended to buy a good shirt for job interview. After browsing [brauz], I was fascinated about a brand name shirt.

  The salesman convinced me that the shirt was really suitable for me and made me look handsome and smart. He even mentioned that it would a pity if I didn‘t buy it at that time because it was on sales. I lost my own judgment due to his flattery and persuasion

  Also, the fitting room was so busy on Boxing Day that I didn‘t bother to try it on. Finally, I bought it without any hesitation.

  Unfortunately, when I went back home, I found that shirt was not as suitable as it looked in the shopping centre. It was a bit tight in my shoulder. Also, it was dry cleaned only, which gave me an extra trouble. What‘s worse, I couldn’t get exchange or refund because I lost the invoice. Since then, whenever I want to buy a piece of clothes, I never trust what the sale people say unless I try it on and actually feel

  comfortable.

  ☆ Describe something in your home that was broken or that didn‘t work.

  Describe something in your home that was broken or that didn‘t work.

  Let me talk about my laptop. It's a ThinkPad SL300. I bought it two years ago.

  It went out of order after I downloaded a file from an email attachment. I opened the file but ended up with a virus in my

  laptop. The virus was so powerful that the operating system crashed right away and it destroyed the hard drive as well. The screen went black while the laptop was still running. So I turned off the laptop, only to find out it wouldn‘t even boot up anymore.

  I began to worry that I wouldn‘t be able to get my valuable data back from the hard drive coz I didn’t really have any backup plan. And by that time, my laptop was not covered by warranty anymore so I took the laptop to the local computer store immediately. The folks  there fixed the problem and the hard-drive data got saved as well.

  And since then, I‘ve always been extra careful any time I pull stuff from the Internet…

  Describe a game you played when you were a child ( but not a sport)。

  The game I used to play when I was a kid is “the Hawk catching the young chicks”。

  This is a traditional Chinese chasing game, to be played outdoors. It is a good game to play for more than 4 children with a mixed age-group. In the game, two kids are chosen to be the Hawk and the Hen, respectively [ris‘pektivli]. All the others are Chicks and line up behind the Hen, holding onto the clothes of the child in front of them. The Hawk and the Hen face each other. The Hawk tries to catch the Chicks, while the Hen protects them by stretching [stret?] his or her arms and moving from side to side. Any Chicks that are caught will be moved over to stand behind the Hawk, and the line of Chicks closes up.

  I still remember that the game was really enjoyable and we all had fun at that moment. This game also served as a chance for me to make friends with other children and enrich my daily life. No matter what I used to play, I should say that the childhood is one of the happiest times in my life.
