4. Describe a time a child made you laugh
1) What can make child laugh?
Sample answer:
There are plenty of ways that can make child laugh. First, we can buy some candies, cookies or cakes for him, and as we all know, child likes to eat something sweet, and he will feel happy and enjoyable because he gets what he wants. Second, play games with him is also a good choice to make him laugh. For example, if you and him play league of legend together as a team, maybe you made an easy mistake and got yourself killed, I am sure he will laugh out loud because he didn’t know you can be that dumb. Third, generation gap or cultural lag is definitely another way to make him laugh. For example, there are some modern online words which are quite popular among young people, and if he asked you but you’ve never heard of it, that moment will be very hilarious, and he will feel funny too.
2) What do you think is the best age for people to have children?
Sample answer:
Personally speaking, the best age for people to have children is when they are at about thirty years old. Because if they are too young, they may not have enough amount of money or decent living quality to raise the kid, which will be bad for the kid’s normal life. For example, the kid may not have well education or nutritious food, and I think it’s not responsible for parents to do that, if parents are very poor or young, they should first work harder to earn money, and then raise kids, because kid needs a lot of money. On the other hand, if adults are too old, like when they are thirty-five or so, women's fertility would drop drastically. At that time, they may not able to have baby. So, I think the best time of having children is when they are about thirty, by that time, they should have a house or a car, and of course a stable job which can sustain the life quality and stand the cost of raising the baby.
3) Do you think people should be trained before they become parents?
Sample answer:
Not necessarily. Because raising kids is part of the human nature, and we were born with it, we know what to do and how to do it. Plus, our earlier generation didn’t have had trained to raise the kid because of the lack of resources, yet our parents all grew up safely and soundly. Moreover, having a training session will cost a lot of money, parents should save some money and use it to raise their kids in the future, such as education, living cost, car, house and etc. If there are some questions, they can find plenty of resources online, such as TV shows, online applications and so on. If some parents are not good at using online technology, or they think online stuff is unreliable, they can also ask for other friends’ or their parents help, because they have many experiences Therefore, they don't need to be trained by others.
4) Do you think childhood is the most important in one’s development?
Sample answer:
I totally agree with this statement. Because people need to establish a series of good habits during their childhood, and it includes study habits, life habits, and even the ways to communicate with others. All of these habits will be with him or her for the rest of their life, which is crucial for a person's future development. More importantly, childhood is the best time for children to think about what they will do in the future. If a kid is really good at playing badminton, or singing, he should grab the chance when there is still time and pursue his dream at the very beginning. When he grows up, he will know how important to do what he likes. And he should feel lucky to stick to that dream. Even though he will feel helpless or confused during the process, parents should always encourage him to pursue his dream.

1) What kinds of professions are related to giving information to others?
Sample answer:

Plus, teachers also have to answer students’ some practical questions from their own experience to help them ace the test, gain more credits, become top students to gain money to cover tuition fee and living cost. Additionally, tour guides typically recommend citizens to visit tourist attractions, like some historical sites, local specialty and other stuff to get rid of stress.
2) What’s the difference between giving information by phone and by email?
Sample answer:
As for me, giving information by phone is time-saving and effort-saving, you know, I don’t need to operate my laptop, access to Wi-Fi, type the key words then send an email, instead, I can just pull it out and hang it up to receive information. Despite the fact that our technologies are advanced, there is no guarantee that small glitches or malfunctions won’t occur like sudden disconnection from the internet, that would interrupt me a lot. However, giving information by phone is much easier to remember many details, and I can also take notes, highlight the important section of email, which can leave lasting impression on me.

As for me, once I was assigned to do a group presentation on tropical plants, like, to memorize the names and key characters of plants, one of my partners typical told some boring jokes and idle our time away, so I felt bored. Plus, when hanging out with friends but we have different places to visit, walking together would be really boring.
