Describe your favorite song
I’d like to talk about the most touching song I’ve ever heard, the name of which is “Oh Sweet Lorraine”.
The first time I listened to it was in an English class in senior high school. Our teacher introduced it to us. From then on, it has stayed in my playlist and no matter how many times I have listened to it, I always feel touched.
This song is so impressive not only because of its beautiful melody, but also because of the romantic and moving story behind the lyric.The song was written by a 96-year-old man called Fred and it is written to memorize his wife, Lorraine,who had passed away, ending their nearly 75-year romance.
I once watched a video interview of Fred. In this video.he illustrated how this song was written. "After she passed away, I was just sitting in the front room one evening by myself, and it just came right to me almost. I just kept humming it and singing it. It just fit her,"
As the lyric said,“The memories always linger on”. From their story,I recognize that true love is timeless and can defeat everything including death.

Do you agree that schools are not necessary because students can get information from the Internet?
It is true that students can easily get access to a variety of online resources nowadays. However,I do not agree with the claim that nternet can be substitute for schools for several reasons.
Firstly, schools play an important role in urging students,especially lower-grade students. Advanced technology has made it possible to learn all kinds of courses on the internet. Like tradtional classes in the school, many online courses require students to finish assignments and take the final exam. As for those procrastinators who flee the restrictions of schools, finishing studying tasks on time seems quite stuggling. After all, A student can be motivated by hard-working classmates and urged by teacher in school, even if he lacks self-discipline.Some people may claim that students can be urged by their parents at home. It is unpractical for busy parents to stay along with their children all the time and monitor whether they are studying or not.
Secondly, The large amount of online information will confuse students who do not have the ability to tell which information is valuable.In contrast, well-experiened teachers in school know what materials to choose and will always offer structured courses to students.
Last but not least, schools not only teach academic knowledge but also teach many other useful skills like how to cooperate with others, how to get along with peers and most impornt, how to be an upright person. These skills cannot be learnt on the internet for they can only be gained by practice.
To sum up,internet can be a possible way to access knowledge, but it can never take the place of schools.

A quiet place/A place that you like to visit with your friends
Everytime me and my friends want to do our assignments, prepare for our presentation or just have a chitchat to relax ourselves, the "Kitten Coffee" coffee shop near my campus is always the best choice. We found it totally occationally, for the entrance of the coffee shop isn't obvious at all.I mean, if we hadn't be attracted by its name, we would have missed it forever. It is not a normal coffee shop, as you can see from its name, the coffee shop owner have many kittens there. I suppose it's a perfect idea because as coffee shop is always a quiet place, you can't find an quieter animal which is more suitable than cats. Those adorable kittens walk around without making any noise, and sometimes their fluffy tails will touch your legs slightly. Besides, The coffee shop is considerate enough to seperate customers who want to talk with customers who want to learn or read so that everyone can concentrate on their own stuff withtout being bothered. Everything in the coffee shop makes people feel peaceful and comfortable and that's the reason why we are so into it.

Describe a toy you had in the childhood
Like girls all around the world, I had lots of stuffed toys when I was a child. Among them, my favourite is a lovely beige teddy bear. I still remembered that I was eight years old then and was a grade two primary school student. The lovely teddy bear was given by my mother as an award for the great score I achieved in my final exam. I swear it was the softest and most lovely toys I'd ever had. Its fluffy body, glittering and round eyes, cute ears all made it unique and adorable. I called it Coco because it smelled just like chocolate which made me feel so sweet and comfortable. The size of coco was perfect to hug, so I would cuddle it when I slept every night. For me, Coco was not noly a toy, but also a good friend who accompanied me to grow up. I often shared my annoyances and secrets with her and she was always a great listener.

Describe a useful skill you learned in a math class from your primary/high school
I suppose the most useful skill I've ever learned in a math class must be solving problems by equations. I learned it in grade four in primary school.I still remebered that my math teacher then was a strict but responsible woman. One day, she put a question about a traditional Chinese math problem called"Chickens and rabbits math problem"and introduced equations to us. At that time, I thought equations were one of the most amazing things in the world. Those math problems which seemed quite hard before can be solved within minute by using equations. Without any exaggerations, the equations concept changed my perspectives on math problems and even the world.Equations transform complex and abstract math problems into concise and normalized models. What's more, it is easy to understand and learn for everyone.To me, equations have become an necessary part of my life. That's not only because my major is computer science and I need to solve many math problems. In fact, in the real life, everytime I need to know some unknown values, I will turn to equations for help.

Describe a situation when you had to be polite
I still remember that several weeks before ,I went to the supermarket .I waited for a long time in the checkout queue but the customer before me still didn't finish her paying .When I was wondering how many things she had bought on earth ,I noticed that she was struggling to open her wallet and get money out .Her hands was slightly trembling and seemed quite faint . I guessed she might have issues with her joints .Apparently ,she needed help .But helping her directly seemed a little bit impolite.After all ,Some people were embarrassed by getting things they don't ask for . I should find a polite and considerate way to express my willing to help without the
tongue that implied she couldn't help herself .So I just smiled and asked :"Do you need help ?"She seemed quite grateful and handed her wallet to me .
Most of us are willing to give our hands to those handicapped people .But they need and deserve our respect as well ,so asking them politely before helping them is the best way .

A Shocking Netflix TV Show :The Push
Several days ago ,I read an article about The Push from wechat and decided to have a look .The show reflects how people can be manipulated through social pressure to commit murder within an hour .There are four participants ,all of whom are enmeshed in a web of lies .About seventy actors play out the meticulously planned and rehearsed scenario to manipulate the participants who have no idea of being filmed .The director want to test whether social compliance is strong enough to make someone push a living ,breathing human to the death .The result is horrible .Ultimately ,three of four participants choose to commit murder .
