Task 1

　　1. Your friend is about to open a new restaurant, what suggestions would you give this friend, it could be about the location and food. Give specific reasons and details in your response.

　　I would give this friend the following statement about opening a new restaurant. First, it should be located at an area that has plenty of foot traffic. Foot traffic is important to many types of businesses, particularly restaurants, as higher foot traffic can lead to higher sales. In or near a major shopping district is ideal. When it comes to food, I would say the more unique the menu is, the better. Restaurant businesses are highly competitive. An interesting menu can help the restaurant to stand out from the crowd. There's this one restaurant near my house that has Kung Pao Chicken, it's always full no matter when I go.

　　2. Do you agree or disagree with the statement that sixteen-year-olds are old enough to drive a car. Give specific reasons and details in your response.

　　I think that sixteen-year-olds are way too young to drive. Most 16 year olds are too susceptible to peer pressure and doing things they know are not right just to "fit in". These things can include drinking and driving, driving 100MPH+ because your "buddies" dare you to, and driving erratically on the road because you feel invincible and just want to be a little crazy. Turning 18 is when kids take their first steps toward adulthood such as separating from the nest they have known for 18 years, focusing on higher education, experiencing increased diversity, financial responsibilities, as well as becoming less susceptible to peer pressure.

　　Task 2

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: 16-year-olds are not mature to drive.

　　Task 3

　　Reading:

　　Proposal: Physical course should become a compulsory course

　　Reason 1: There are very few students in the gym which indicates very few people do sports

　　Reason 2: It can help students to find their interest in new sports

　　Listening

　　The man disagrees with the proposal,

　　Reason 1: Just because there are very few students in the gym doesn't mean people don't exercise, there are a lot of people playing tennis, taking a walk or biking outdoor

　　Reason 2: It won't be fun any more after it becomes mandatory, students will just pick the sports they're already good at

　　Task 4

　　Term: Peak-end theory

　　Definition: People tend to remember only the peak and the end of an event

　　Lecture:

　　The professor was on a trip and it was raining for the first couple of days, he had to stay inside and it wasn't very fun. But later the weather got better and they sailed on the sea, they saw some whales and it was an exciting experience. At the end of the trip, there was a party where he met a lot of people who shared the same interest with him and he felt good. Later on when he was asked how the trip was, he said it was good because his impression of the trip is mainly about the whales and the people he met at the party.

　　Task 6

　　The professor talks about two adaptions of animals. One of them is structural adaption, for example hull-sharks have spikes on their tails to protect them from bigger sharks. Another one is behavioral adaption, for instance, there's a kind of animal who can play dead under attack by predators like foxes, they would lower their heart rate and stay still with their eyes shut.
