A. Why do you send presents
I think it’s good to receive presents which will make one feel happy. And I like the feeling to make others happy. Sometimes I send presents to someone not because he is important to me and I want to make him happy but because he can help me in some way. It’s also a polite manner to send presents when you visit someone.
B. Do you like luxuries Why/Why not
Yes, I do. I think almost every girl likes luxuries such as Channel perfume, Dior handbags, LV, etc. They are excellent in design, in style, and in manufacture. But their prices are much higher for ordinary people to have one. I think that may be one of the reasons why people like luxuries. People always like those things that they can’t get easily.
C. Can you afford an expensive handbag
No, I can’t. Although I like luxuries, I don’t want to buy one. Because they are really beyond my consuming ability. I get about C, 000 yuan a month. And I have to rent a room and pay nearly A,000 yuan to the landlady.
D. Do you think smoking is a problem
Yes, I do. Some people aren’t aware of the consequences of smoking. They smoke because they have addicted to it or they think it’s cool to smoke. They care little about their health while smoking. Although smoking is banned in public places, many people ignore the "No Smoking" notice as well as other people’s complaint.
E. Are you interested in participating in the Student Union
Yes, I am. It’s good for one student to work in the Student Union. We can have more chances to improve our organizing and communicating skills. We can also have more opportunities to learn a lot of things we cannot learn from books. I think this is very important in modern society.
