Part 2:

Describe a change you would like to make to your life in the future

You should say:

What change you would like to make

When you would like to make this change

What it looks like

And explain why you would like to make this change

(提示： 此卡片题要注意是A change, 而不是很多种变化，当然了一种变化可以引起其他多种变化，但是大家在描述的时候要集中讲一种变化。这类话题在这几次的考试中都考到了“ describe a positive change in your life” 和”Describe a recent change of yours “ 记着无论怎么样的变化，这都是同一个话题，只需要注意时态不同就OK啦，特别要注意“would like to do sth” 表示想做，蛋还没做的事情)。

Sample：Throughout the 17 years since I was born, I have been wearing short hair for the most time. Now I have decided to keep long hair. It sounds easy. People might say that you don’t need to do anything just to see your hair grow. Well, actually, it is quite difficult for me.  As I am quite athletic and keen on basketball, wearing long hair will bring a lot of inconvenience to me. Also, wearing long hair means that I have to spend more time washing, drying and combing my hair every morning. However, although it is quite hard to make the decision, I still have to carry it out.

One reason is that it is really embarrassing to be treated as a boy by stranger s , and this has happened to me for several times, but it is not the main reason. The main reason for me to make the decision is to save money. As I am a high school student now and will go abroad to further my study, my parents have spent a lot of money on my tuition and they will spent more money in the future. For the reason, I decided to make a change in the future and started to keep long hair. Therefore, I don’t need to go the barbershop and I will save some money.

Part 3:

1. What are some of the typical changes that people experience in their lives?

( 此题是提供信息题，每个人在生活中都会经历很多变化，主要是学习，工作或者家庭等方面的变化)

Sample: Going to school, getting a job, starting a family and having children are typical changes that people experience in their lives. Going to school means learning knowledge and becoming educated. After graduation, people begin to step in our society(踏入社会) and have to do their duties. Then people get married and have children, consequently, people have more responsibilities for their families.

2. In general, which groups of people like changes?

(提示：此题是提供观点题，一般来说年轻人相对喜欢能够接受新东西，老年人不太喜欢。 因为年轻人能很快学会新东西，适应新环境。大胆，适应能力强的人喜欢改变，墨守陈规的人不喜欢改变)

Sample：Those who are audacious(大胆的) and adaptable（适应能力强的） like changes in their life, but those who always stick to conventions(墨守陈规的) maybe  reluctant to accept changes . Generally speaking, young people are fond of changes, because they are more creative and dare to face changes. However, some elder people like my grandparents are willing to keep rules rather than make any changes.

3. In the past 20 or 30 years, have there been any changes in family life in China ?

(提示：此题是提供观点题和对比题。 过去几十年，中国家庭发生了很大的变化，例如：家庭结构和男女主人家庭地位的变化)
