 I’m crazy about playing games, especially phone games. It is so convenient for me to download different types of games. I do this in break time at school, before sleeping and when using toilet. Maybe I should reduce the time that I spend on games because the radiation from phone screen is strong when watching it for long.

Do you play video games on computer or some games on phone?

What games do you like?

For this question, I would like to introduce you, very excitingly, a game named ‘King’s Glory’. It is the most popular video game among Chinese teenagers. When playing this game, we normally attend one team and fight against the other team. It is so heart-stirring to use some special effect and technique to kill enemies. It is an activity that would arouse our adrenalin. I love it.

Do you think it is good for young people to play games?

Playing games is a perfect activity that benefits us in many aspects. The most obvious one is that our stress or pressure from studying or working can be largely relieved. Also, by playing games with other people, we have improved our relationship or made new friends who have the same hobby. Possibly, we can even become smarter by thinking about some skills in playing games. So I maintain that young people should spend more time in this activity.

Do you like your neighbors?

Do you know some methods that would help improve neighbor relationship?

The first thing that we can try is to organize some activities such as sports, Chinese square dance, games, etc. Of course, it is quite convenient to invite neighbors home for having dinners, playing indoor games like mahjong. The most effective way may be helping each other, especially when we are in emergency. I believe, the time that we spend with neighbors being longer, we would gradually become family-like people.

How could business improve community?

Business can be a positive influence for a community. The very obvious benefit is that people who live in the community have a chance to buy some products that they need. Also, we can even work in the shops around community. Some people may do small business and sell things to neighbors. In this case, business creates job opportunities for people in such a big residence area.

10, Do you think it is difficult to learn musical instrument?

What musical instruments have you ever learned?

  I don’t know what others think. According to my experience of learning musical instruments. I have found that some of them are easy to operate while the other ones are difficult. For example, I used to learn how to play vertical plastic flute and I did it very well. However, as to keyboard musical instruments such as the electronic organ or the piano, it is quite a hard job for me to perform some music because there are too many keys and I can’t switch between the keys as the music notes say.

 

Do you think children need music courses at school?

What influence do music courses have on children?

 

  Music courses are quite necessary for children to learn and in fact, there are always such courses in primary schools in our country. We always believe that music is something that gives children enjoyment in mind and gets them to relieve stress from hard studying. Also, having the ability of appreciating music and improving imagination are beneficial for children. Maybe they would become smarter because of this.

 Do you like robots to work at your home?

  Robots technology is developing very fast in the world recently and I have kept focused on this in the past years. News often says that some scientists have invented certain types of robots and the robots assist people in doing more and more things. People’s labor can be largely saved so that we have more time to do other things we think valuable and enjoyable. The jobs that robots do not only cover our daily life like housework but also include some industrial production in factories. So our time is saved and working efficiency is improved. I believe, in the future, sooner or later, robots would become people’s assistants in more fields and areas. I expect this day to come.

Do you want to take a car in which robot is the driver?

Do you think the car without a driver would be popular in the future?

  If there was such a car in which robot was my driver, I would try using it simply because robots would operate something as people’s order after setting certain programs in advance. They would not do some dangerous things, such as changing lines, running over red lights, speeding, etc. Also, with this driver, we wouldn’t be tired of driving. If we wanted to drive, we could give an order of stopping. So robot is just like our assistant. However, I’m still worrying about one problem. What if the robot driver was out of control, that would be really dangerous. Also, I would not always take this type of car mainly because, sometimes, I would like to enjoy the fun of driving, especially when owning a cool, fashionable car with advanced technology.  

  Now, there is already Artificial Intelligence technology in car and we don’t need driver anymore. Although there is no robot driver, the car still goes automatically and has the similar function as the car with robot driver.

When staying outdoors, I feel more freedom and have a chance to enjoy beautiful scenery, especially natural view. Park is the place where I usually do some enjoyable activities, such as walking, jogging, feeding pigeons, etc.

  For now, I only want to learn how to go fishing.

It looks simple but hard to learn. I heard that we have to know how to place the bait and cast the thread. A very difficult thing is when to raise the fishing pole. So fishing is a skill that we need to try to obtain and I want to find a veteran to teach me.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of online shopping?

  Positive---1, time-saving, we don’t need to go through different physical stores.

          2, money-saving, we have a chance to compare plenty of product of different prices and select the one with reasonable price.

 Yes--1, taste more types of special food.

      2, learn different cultures, especially celebrating activities.

      3, buy some discounted products.

   In the past, mother---didn’t work---had time to look after...

   Now, ladies also need to work---children’s grandparents do this---sometimes, they hire babysitters.

 

Why do some parents move to another city to work and leave their children at home? How do they look after their children?

   For higher salary and they normally work very hard and have no time to take care of their children. For example, they often need to work over time. Also, they don’t want their children to live in the shabby apartments or houses that they rent.

   So they leave their children at home and ask the children’s grandparents to look after the kids.
