1.Do you think most elderly people are happy today?

第一道题各位可以套用高科技可以方便老人网上购物和网上学习来讨论。

I think most senior citizens are happy today because of the high technology. They can do online shopping. As some of them cannot go to the shops in person. The goods are supposed to come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All people need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the buttons. The commodities they order will be delivered to them promptly. .

Second, they can learn online courses which help many more senior citizens who want to learn more but the schools might not be within reach.

2.How we can take better care about elderly people?

可以说多陪伴，多沟通，并努力发展AI技术。

First,it is wise to take some time to talk to each other and let us know what is important to them.

Second, develop the robot technology to help people take better care of them. In the near future, AI can act humanly through the Turing test approach; can speak humanly through the cognitive modeling approach; can think rationally through setting the “law of thought”

1.The impact of social media in interpersonal communication.

第一道题各位可以套用社交媒体的作用。 

First, social media allow people to telecommute (to perform everyday tasks such as banking or business transactions without meeting others face to face.);

Second, social media enable people to exchange ideas (to promote friendly contacts between different peoples and facilitate the cultural and economic interchange.).

2.Is social media the best way to communicate?

可以说从空间和时间上很方便。

I agree that social media have changed our life drastically. I will take the Wechat as an example. Before the invention of wechat, people cannot find each other freely and cheaply. Back in the old days, people have to communicate about the meetings and events ahead of time through phone call, but now they can do the video call. Also, Wechat enables friends know your recent well-being through what you posted on it, no matter where you are, people are now able to find you on your Wechat. Delays are less common and people are reaching you non-stop.

Sample answers

1.Should smart phones be banned in class?

第一道题各位可以套用社交媒体的作用。 

I think smart phones should be banned in class. Smart phones distract students from teachers’ lectures, which will affect their final grades. Also, students just use the phones to chat with friends or do online shopping or play video games, none of the things mentioned above have something to do with study.

2.The impact of smart phones used on college students.

The good impact is that students can exchange ideas through smart phones, which promote friendly contacts between different peoples and facilitate the cultural and economic interchange.

The bad impact is that smart phones occupy too much study time. An analysis showed that as phone use increased, GPA decreased and anxiety increased. The overall conclusion was that high frequency users will have a lower GPA, greater anxiety, and less life satisfaction than those who are lower frequency users. Naturally, these results involve college students.

People like to eat fast food, especially those living in big cities, their life pace is fast so they have to do that. Secondly, people like to order food from apps like Meituan or Elema, those apps can save money and people needn’t go outside to wait for a long queue to get their food.

3.Do you like fast food.

I like fast food because fast food saves my time and energy. Now I am living in Beijing, so it is impossible for me to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables and spend several hours to clean and cook them. By the way, fast food is cheap and delicious, so why not?

陈述讨论：怎么看待城市养宠物

Nowadays, with the improvement of people’s living standard, some people in the city form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets.

I feel that keeping a pet as a company is important for the psychological well-being of a person. Keeping a pet could help a youngster to learn to respect and care for other living creatures. This helps the child to develop mental well-being. Some pets are so important for people that they are recognized as part of the family.

I prefer to keep a pet to make my life more colorful.

People keep pets for different reasons. For most families, pets are lovely, sensitive creatures with whom they are able to communicate. They keep them just for fun and pleasure. As for some adults, playing with their pets is their favorite form of relaxation after day's hard work. As for children, it seems there are no better friends or companions they can find than a funny-looking dog or a clever cat, for they take a fancy to animals by nature. Though their contact with animals, children learn how to take care of those dependent on them. Which helps them develop a sense of responsibility and cultivate their patience as well.

Whatever the reasons for keeping pets are, a fact deserving our notice is that the growing number of pets can cause serious hygiene problems. Pets, if ignored or kept in poor conditions, can breed and spread diseases. The barking of dogs and the mewing of cats can also be an annoyance to the neighbors.

回答问题：不同的人喜欢不同的宠物，你怎么看

Different people have different choices on keeping pets.

Some people may prefer dogs because dogs are mankind's best friend.

For dogs are loyal and reliable. It is not difficult to find out such instances in our society to prove that. No matter how bad their mankind friends are, dogs are still stick around, without escaping, or complaining. However, for a few people, keeping different pets is an ostentatious display of their wealth. By owing an expensive bird, they intend to show off to others how wealthy they are.

No matter what kind of pets you have, please be kind to them.
