First of all, she is such a talented perso
6、n that not only she has great achievement in her working field, but also can she cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-educated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people. And the most beautiful thing about her is that she has a beautiful mind. Thrifty as
7、 she is in the daily life, she saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is. That is why I think my mother is the person I admire most.TeacherA good teacher should have the following personalities. Fir
8、st of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students, and she knows which students need extra care. Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp her ideas. What is more, she would
9、show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them. For most students, a good teacher is also a helper who can lift them to new heights.FriendsA good friend should have
10、the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and positive. First of all, a trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especially when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble. Secondly, he/she must be someone who can give me some suggestions w
11、hen I lose my heart. I clearly remember last time I had a bad experience on my job, I was so sad during those period of time and my friend XX just sat beside me and was such a good listener to support me and inspired me by saying that I deserved a second chance and never pushing myself too hard woul
12、d be a better choice. After the nice conversation, I happened to realize I overcame those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive. Though we always say “prepare for the worst and hope for the best”, we seldom do it when we face up with the
13、 worse situation. At this time, a positive friend has this power to make us believe that it is absolutely right to obey the rule. In the end, I would like to quote a famous saying by Aristotle to end up my response. “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”Leader1. Have a visionEffective lead
14、ers and their organizations have an agenda. A vision. A vision is a direction an attractive and attainable picture of the future. As a leader, if you dont know where you are going, you are irrelevant to your followers. With a vision you can inspire and lift individuals and groups to new heights an i
15、mportant function of any leader.2. Seize opportunityLook for experiences that are new and different. Develop relationships with people who are different from the people you ordinarily have relationships with, especially those that come from different backgrounds and age groups.3. Communication is ke
16、yBe accessible to everyone in the organization. Companies need to realize that the old model of the leaders sitting on top of the pyramid and the managers executing orders does not work in todays environment. The person at the top cannot be the only leader. There have to be various people within the
17、 company acting in this role. There are many companies stuck in a rut where the managers are waiting to be told what to do. That doesnt work.4. Be proactivePromote continuous exploration of yourself and other leaders within the organization. Be accountable for what you do. If there is an issue in th
18、e company, dont say you didnt know anything about it. Look at the organization and constantly ask what can be improved.ReadingWhen I have time, I read books. My favorite book is the Old Man and the Sea which is written by Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest American writers. The book told us a sto
19、ry about an old man called Diego who did fishing in Cuba. Though he came across lots of difficulties on the sea and came back without a single fish, he was optimistic and still held the hope. Diego is like a mirror which reflects what Hemingway wanted to tell all of us: never give up and the final s
20、uccess will come tight after the last try. Ive stuck on that wisdom all the time ever since I read this book fir that story makes me believe there is no stronger thing ever than a strong human belief.Listening to MusicMy favorite music is _ which is sung by _.

On Spring Festival Eve, we Chinese people usually do a thorough cleaning for their houses to clean up all the ill
25、-fortunes may have been in the family and make the way for the incoming good luck. In the evening, family members get together coming back from everywhere, make Jiaozi, dumplings boiled in the water, sit around the table, toast to each other, wish everybody good luck and health. After the feast, usu
26、ally in the midnight, children will gather around to play fireworks to light up the sky. Spring Festival means the whole world to Chinese people and we all consider it a chance for our family members reunion and gather best wishes for the coming year together.My most embarrassing thing(时间顺序串动作，以态度做结
27、尾)The most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me in school was when I was walking along the sidewalk back to school from getting some lunch. My eye caught a beautiful car and I lost sight of where I was going. Next thing I knew, BANG, I walked straight into a pole, hitting my whole head on
28、 it. I fell on the ground and my friends just laughed. Even though it was very embarrassing , it made our day cause we will never forget it. The days go by; I will still laugh as long as I remember it. But I dont care about it anymore, sometimes, the embarrassing thing just puts smile on other peopl
29、es faces.The most difficult momentThe most difficult moment that Ive ever had was when I prepared for the IBT. It became so hard for me since Id never had a chance to talk in English for quite a long time. I could barely pen my mouth; let alone, how to cover the whole test within the time limitation
30、. I was rather upset and almost lost heart. My friend Yun saw me one day and he inspired me by saying that if I couldnt overcome that task, how could I survive in the society and make my dream come true. All of a sudden, I realized how small this task would be in the whole process of making my dream
31、 come true. Day by day, the more I practiced, the more confidence I gained. The most difficult moment became not difficult anymore.My AmbitionI have always had a burning ambition to be a computer programmer. I want to help people solve various problems, get one-click-away best solutions, and make pr
32、ofits by applying my program. An increasing number of monotonous, recursive tasks fill up peoples daily work. Since computer programming can be a great help hand in these tasks, the role of a programmer in keeping our society running smoothly and efficiently is getting more and more important. Being
33、 a highly self-motivated person, I feel confident about my aptitude to make my dream come true. As the well-known saying goes, “where theres a will, theres a way.” I envisage a brilliant future on my computer programmer career.Chances for the Volunteer for 2010 Shanghai ExpoIf Id ever had a chance t
34、o do something that I wish for, I would like to be a volunteer for the Expo held in Shanghai in 2010. First of all, it is a great honor to be part of this opportunity coming once or never. I can put my English fully into use. Being an interpreter, I can not only provide our foreign people the conven
35、ience in life but also let them know more about China. I am not saying that I want to wipe out some cultural barriers with my little effort; I am saying that I want to spare no effort to contribute to this great banquet.Places of InterestIf I had a chance to visit a place Ive never been to, I would
36、like to go to Imperial Palace which is also called Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of China.In the heart of Beijing, it is the largest and most complete imperial palace and ancient building complex in China, and the world at large. Its construction began in 1406 and was completed 14 years lat
37、er, having a history so far of some 580 years. Twenty-four emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties lived and ruled China from there.The reasons why I love there so much are based on the following aspects. First of all, the ancient buildings record the history path to tell us the legends of our anc
38、estors, especially good for our young people to get familiar with our past. Furthermore, they are the symbols of Chinese traditional and rich culture. Last, they are standing there to make us understand our past; when we are facing the past, what we must do is to absorb the essence and discard the d
39、regs.Restaurant and CafIf I had to say what features of restaurant and caf I cared most, I would consider them form the following three angles.Above all, the food there must be very delicious and nutritious. I like something pretty from appearance and tasty from inside. It is better to taste it like
40、 my moms cuisine because it makes me feel I am the happiest in the world. Like hotpot. I feel good when I am having it.Second, the service there must be very considerate, which means, the waiters and waitresses there must be very nice and patient. If this is the first time I came to restaurant, they
41、 must recommend something delicious but cheap. And if I ask more than one question, he/she will not keep a cold face to me.Last, the atmosphere there must be very comfortable. Like the sofa there makes me feel at home and I can sit there for a whole day without tiredness. There better has some light
42、 music and quiet because I usually want to have a nice conversation with my friends.Those aspects Ive mentioned above are the standards I care when I choose to go to a restaurant.Favorite roomMy favorite room is my living room. Its rectangular with the door on the right side of the north wall. In th
43、e wall opposite the door is a picture window. Below the window is a sofa. A rectangular coffee table is in front of sofa. Facing the sofa are two armchairs. An abstract painting is on the west wall. This bright and uncluttered room is my best place to hide from outside world to make me relax, thing
44、freely, and live comfortable.InternetOne of the most important inventions in the past century, for me, is the internet and it has greatly changed our life from the following benefits it has brought to our life.First of all, we have emails, the innovative way of writing letters because of the interne
45、t. With emails, we dont have to go to the post office to buy some envelopes and stamps to send letters. All we have to do is just to click on the “send” button and in no minute, it may help us send 10 mails at one time. What is more, we can not only send the content email if we want to share them wi
46、th friends.Second, with internet, we have MSN to take place international phone-call, which means we save not only money but time. If you have a camera, you can see the faces of your friends, too.PoemAmong novel, magazine and poem, I like poem best. I love poem the first time I read a poem called “W
47、hen I was One-and-Twenty” by A.E. Housman; part of it is read like “The heart out of the bosom was never given in vain; Tis paid with signs aplenty and sold for endless rue. And I am two-and-twenty and oh, tis true, tis true.” I love it firstly because it tells a profound meaning within such a few w
48、ords, and teaches me a concise way of writing. Furthermore, every poem has its own rhythm inside of it. Learning about rhythm does so great to my future because by learning rhythm we can acquire an ability of solving the problems which means you can know how to balance a trouble. Last, poem is one form of arts, and I can learn how to appreciate arts by reading the poem.MusicalsAmong drama, comedy and musicals, I prefer musicals. The reasons why I like it best are based on the following aspects. First and foremost, I can learn ho
