1. How important is English to you?

      English is extremely important to me, because next year I plan to go to the U.S. I'll

need English in order to communicate with the people over there, you know, to make friends

at university. If my English is limited, I won't be able to understand my teachers either, so

my results at school won't be satisfactory.

 

2. How important is age as a factor in earning?

      I think it depends on what you are learning. For example, if you want to learn how

to play an instrument, I don't think age is that important. But I believe motivation is

fundamental. On the other hand, if you are learning a foreign language, I think it's essential

to start as early as possible, because kids have a better memory, and the younger you start,

the better your pronunciation will be.

 

3. How important are credit cards nowadays?

      Well, in China, credit cards are not that important when you go grocery shopping

because many small shops don't accept them, but they are definitely very useful when you

purchase something expensive. For example, if you buy a computer, or a pricey piece of

furniture, you can just swipe your Visa card, instead of carrying a huge amount of cash on

you. It's much safer. In addition, they are very convenient because you can buy something

even if you don't have the money on your card. You can get credit from a bank, which you

can pay back later: it's very practical. Credit cards are also necessary/indispensable if you

want to buy something online.

 

4. How important are friends to you?

      Friends play a significant part in my life. I try to see my friends as often as possible.

We frequently get together to chat and have a good time. My friends are a fundamental part

of my life and I really depend on them, especially when I have good news, or whenever I

don't feel so cheerful. I think it's essential to have friends you can trust and rely on.

 

5. How important is sport in children’s social and physical development?

      I think that sport is an essential part of children’s daily routines, because sports can

make kids stronger and healthier. They need to run and jump to make their muscles work. In

addition, there is no doubt that playing sports is a great way for them to socialize. They can

make friends through sports. On top of this, they can learn the notions of "team-work" and

“team-spirit”, which are fundamental in today’s world.

 

6. How important are clothes as an expression of personality?

       Well, I think that clothes can definitely reflect a person's tastes since everyone usually

picks his or her own clothes. Someone who likes to wear dark clothes all the time might want

to keep a low profile: he might be a little shy. On the other hand, it's extremely important to

remember that it would be a mistake to judge someone's personality according to his or her

clothes only. A man wearing a suit might look serious and cold, but he may well be a party-

animal as soon as he leaves work! Frequently, clothes represent someone's profession more

than their personality. As you say in English, “You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.”

 

7. How important is it to have free time on the weekend for students and

   working people?

      It's fundamental to allow yourself some rest every so often, because if you work

too much, you will get tired, and you might not be as efficient as you could be. You might

even get irritated and angry because of all the stress you can't get rid of. Workaholics

and studentaholics might even get sick in the long term; I mean both physically and

psychologically sick. It's essential to take breaks on a regular basis in order to recharge your

batteries and be able to work more efficiently later on.

 

8. How important is tourism for a country?

    Tourism can be extremely important for a country’s economy, because the tourist industry often creates many jobs and can bring a lot of money to a region. When foreigners visit China, they spend their money in restaurants, hotels, organized tours and transportation. It’s extremely beneficial to the local economy. In addition, tourism is definitely an essential

way for local cultures to spread outside their borders. If a Frenchman comes to China, he

will learn about Chinese traditions and history. When he goes home, he will share his pictures and insight on China with his friends and family, who will find out more about our country. Tourism is very important in many ways．

 

9. How important is it to laugh together in a relationship?

     Well, it’s essential to laugh with friends and relatives. Laughing means that we are in

a healthy relationship. When my friend or my father says something funny, I am going to

pat them on the shoulder, or slap their leg to tell them it’s a good story. Laughing can bring

people closer together. If you have a boyfriend, and you never laugh together, you definitely

have a problem…

 

10. How important is it to save money for the future?

    I think it’s fundamental to save money for the future because you never know what

could happen. In case of emergency, if our parents get sick or if we get into an accident, we

will need money to cover the damage. In addition, if you want to enjoy life, if you want to go

on holidays, or buy a new car, or even get married, it’s essential to have money set aside.

 

11．How important is music for a country?

     Well, music is a significant aspect of a culture．Every country produces its own

distinctive music, so we could say that music represents one’s identity. For example, a

national anthem can create feelings of nationalism. In addition, music can definitely bring

people closer together, in happiness or in sorrow. Music is essential for the people of each

country.

 

12. How important is it to have a room of your own (for yourself)？

 I think it’s extremely important for people to have their own personal space．

Especially in China, since our country is so populated and crowded, I think it’s essential for

people to find a quiet place of their own where they can relax and do their private things．

A teenager might want to be able to talk to his friends on the phone without his mother

overhearing the whole conversation. A student needs space to study efficiently; same for a

businessperson who could be more productive in his or her own office.
