Describe someone you would like to study or work with You should say:

Who this person is

How long you have known this person

And explain why you would like to work/ study with this person

I’d like to talk about Agnes who is myroommate. Agnes comes from Wuxi which is a big city located in Jiangsu province, the southern China.

Well I have known her since the first day Ibecame a university student as I share the dorm with her.

Last semester, we took the marketing course together. Our teacher askedus to do a case study on a Chinese company in groups. In this case, I cooperated with Agnes which was really a good experience. Wechose Huawei as the subject.At that time I was responsible for figuringout the reason why it iswelcomed by customers and Agnes was responsible for discovering the way it cooperates with the government and local authorities. Then we comeup with several suggestions together. At last we achieved 95 out of 100 and I am quite proud of thescore.

Now let me tell you why I would like to studyand work with her. Agnes is a smart andconsiderate girl. Actuallybefore I started to do the teamwork last semester I thought it would be tough.However she made a specific andreasonable plan so we managed to conduct the project smoothly. It was because of the plan that we could dothings in right sequence and complete the project ahead of time. In addition,Agnes has a sense of responsibility. You know when doing teamwork there is arisk that your partner is not willing to do anything and then you have nochoice but to do all of the work by yourself. Luckily, Agnes worked hard andshe even gave me several suggestions on my part. I hope we can do a teamworkagain in the future.

Part3:

1.     What do you think of a gooduniversity?

First of all, a good university should be aplace where students can acquire professional knowledge and improve themselves.This requires teachers of the university to be highly qualified. In addition,various information and references should be available in the library. Inaddition, a good university should also create an environment where studentsare free to share ideas with other students and professors and conduct experimentsor projects on subjects that they are interested in. Well I think whether auniversity is good or not can be judged by whether students of it like it.

2.     Should children choose their owndeskmate?

No, I don’t think so. If children have theright to choose their deskmates, they would definitely sit with their bestfriends. In this case, they may keep talking with deskmates and get distractedwhile having classes, which is obviously not good for acquiring knowledge.Therefore, I believe it is more proper to let teachers choose deskmates foreach student.

3.     What’s the difference between choosing your owndeskmate and arranging by your teacher?

If children have the right to choose theirdeskmates, they would definitely sit with their best friends. While ifdeskmates are chosen by teachers, I guess height of each student is the firstthing that will be taken into consideration so that everyone can have a goodsight. In addition, teachers will not let children who are naughty sit close.

4.     What are the qualities of a goodfriend?

I think a good friend should be a person who ishonest and who can always keep secrets. Good friends know each other well, sothere is not supposed to be any cheating or lying. In addition, a good friendis someone with whom you can share anything including happiness, worries andeven secrets. Therefore it is important that the trusted friend will neverbetray you or tell others about your secrets.

5.     Doyouprefertohaveoneortwoclosefriendsorawidecircleoffriends?

Well as for me, I prefer to just have one ortwo close friends. This is because I do not belong to those people who areoutgoing and usually engage in lots of social activities. I think the mostimportant thing is to have several friends who really understand you and sharecommon interest with you. Also, I guess even for people who have a wide circleof friends, the number of friends with whom they can share anything is stillless than 5. Therefore, I feel delighted with the fact that I have 2 friendswho really know me and care about me though the number is quite small.

6.     Inmodernsociety,whichdoyouthinkismoreimportant,oldfriendsornewfriends?

I think they are of equal importance. Oldfriends are people who have known you for a long period of time. In this case,they can always understand you. You feel free and relaxed when stay with themas you know the habits and character of each other. On the other hand, newfriends are people you meet when you get to a strange and new place. Forexample, when you enter university and when you change your job. Therefore, itis new friends who help you to adapt to the new environment. So, personally, Ithink both of them are important.

7.     Do children and adults make friends in the sameway?

No, they don’t. The world of children is muchpurer than that of adults. Children can be good friends simply by playing gamestogether or sharing toys and snacks. I think children regard people with whomthey can be happy as friends. However, for adults, friends are people who arealways on their side. Friends would comfort you and help you when you are introuble and be happy when you are happy. Therefore, adults make friends byshowing sincerity to each other.

8.     Doyouthinkit'seasiertomakefriendstodaythanitusedtobe?

Yes I do. Thanks to modern science andtechnology, lots of online communication applications have been invented. Inthis case, we are able to talk with people all over the world and get in touchwith others at anytime and anywhere. On the contrary, it was difficult forpeople who lived in the past to contact others. At that time, the only way wasto write letters which was slow and risky——letters may get lost duringdelivery. I believe communication is essential for making friends and sincenowadays we have more ways and chances to talk with others, it is definitelyeasier to make friends.

9.     Why do some people choose to make friends on theinternet?

Well I think for everyone, friends are peoplewho really understand you and care about you. For lots of people who fail tofind such people in the real world, they tend to make friends on the internet.This is because you can meet lots of people from all over the world withtotally different characters online. However, making friends online is alsorisky as lots of people pretend to like you and be your friend but finallycheat you of money.
