No, because my company is pretty close to me, it’s just a ten minutes’ walk So I don’t really need a bike to get there 7.What will become the most popular means of transportation in Australia?

Yes, there are various kinds of museums in Vietnam, such as the museums of modern art, museums of science and industry, and museums of nature Do you think museums are useful for visitors to your hometown? Sure, I believe museums are a great educational tool Both adults and kids can gain an understanding of history and culture there Do you often visit a museum? ut or in g/ Actually, I seldom visit museums coz there is only an art museum in my hometown and I am weak in understanding the deeply meaning of the work of art ar T Did you go to any museums when you were a child? //w w w fa ce bo ok co m /T he St Yes, when I was a child, my Dad took me to the nature museum in my hometown I was very interested in dinosaurs, and I enjoyed the dinosaur models as well as the fossils of dinosaurs And before we went home, my Dad also bought me some souvenir and books Do you think museums are important? Sure Museums are pretty important Adults and kids can get a chance to acquire new knowledge in different aspects Also, hands-on exhibits and models showing in the museums can surely bring science and arts alive for them ht s: Do you think it's suitable for museums to sell things to visitors? Well, I should say it would be a good idea for the museums to sell things related to the exhibitions to visitors Visitors can keep them as souvenirs or send them as gifts to friends For those non-profit museums, they would have a larger budget to improve their conditions and services if they can increase their income by selling things to visitors However, there are some museums selling some products at a high price to visitors I would think it’s not suitable because museums are mainly for the public interest When was the last time you visited a museum? Actually, I treat different kinds of museums as a place for hanging out with my friends, so last Sunday we went to the science museum together We joined the www.facebook.com/TheStarTutoringCompany Tel: +61 478 764 364 workshops to learn the practical science around us and also get to know more about the latest science and technology Part 2: Describe a reunion dinner you organized you should say: when and where this happened who was there at that time what you ate in this dinner and explain how you felt about this dinner ut or in g/ I put a great deal of efforts into organizing a high schoolmate reunion dinner two years ago I anticipated a lot, but it ended up not worth all my efforts at all he St ar T I used to believed that high school friendship is one of the greatest that can stand the test of time, that although we are scattered to all parts of the country to seek higher education but deep down, we are all bonded together tightly by where we came from and what we once went through side by side But I was terribly wrong //w w w fa ce bo ok co m /T Not until one day not far from the winter vacation when I entered the fourth year of my college life, did I feel the gradually dying bonding need some immediate redemption Thanks to the mighty social network, I succeed in getting in touch with all the old classmates, 38 ones, and 26 of them accepted my invitation about the reunion dinner A lot of preparations ensued and I was really looking forwards ht s: The dinner was set in a local restaurant, neat and economical As you know, we still lived on our parents by then, so everyone chipped in to pay the bill The dinner started well, as we sit by two big dinner tables in a VIP room chitchatting just like old friends who long lost touch with each other But when the “How are you going” formalities were exhausted, the warm and jubilant atmosphere began to be replaced by the 80% awkwardness of strangeness and 20% noise of eating, or maybe there was some bit of gossip whisper I tried wine and old great school antidotes to turn around the situation I tried jokes, good ones and bad ones, but all to no avail Someone focused on eating, some busy with screen scrolling their phones, and some just whispering to their neighbors The erstwhile affinity and warmness was gone because of the contact-losing gap years When the dinner was over and I call for a group photo, and some staved off the idea insisting on going home, I knew the planned following activities were waste of time and money, and I said to myself ”OK That’s it.” All the vibes and reminiscence I hoped to restore ended up just like the empty and messy room: laughable www.facebook.com/TheStarTutoringCompany Tel: +61 478 764 364 Part 3: Describe a course you want to learn Should schools teach both arts and science? Yes, I think so Some people may think that science and art are completely opposite of each other But I think these two subjects are linked They are two aspects of our need to explore and appreciate our universe Science is a complex toolbox for investigating our world It relies on objectivity and rigor Art allows us to explore how we perceive our world and what meaning it brings to our lives So no one should be neglected and school should teach both subjects What kinds of courses are useful for university students? //w w w fa ce bo ok co m /T he St ar T ut or in g/ For college and university students, financial management, in my opinion, should be taught It is revealed that people with basic knowledge of well-managed share portfolios have done better than individuals who blindly buy stocks and shares privately Just as Benjamin accumulated much of his wealth through real estate investment, graduates want to live not just a little bit above the breadline; they should have other sources of income apart from the job Apart from that, skills about interpersonal communication should also be imparted to the youngsters, so that they can better understand others and express their voice more effectively Why some students dislike studying at school? ht s: Several factors can account for the worrying phenomenon of students' weariness of study Rote learning might be the biggest culprit Teachers in a spoonfeeding classroom simply dictate information and answers and students are forced to recite what they have learned through various exercises and tests More importantly, peer pressure, the tool promoted by many immature teachers to encourage academic efforts, has made students distant or isolated from each other Those who suffer relatively low scores will be looked down upon while those who outperform in every examination will also be jealousy of What school activities are good for schoolchildren? It can be anything from organizing a big party to creating a new club The point is to go through the experience of doing something from start to fruition, to struggle and follow through, to acquire skills and confidence, and to get hooked on that feeling of knowing you did something really cool with your friends www.facebook.com/TheStarTutoringCompany Tel: +61 478 764 364 Part 1: Painting 1.Do

the art gallery, and I will always find inspiration from it and create my art work co m /T I like painting very much, as I am an animated film buff, I always draw my favorite cartoon figures in my leisure time ht s: //w w w fa ce bo ok In my opinion, the ability of painting depends mainly on talents For me, I am naturally good at painting When I was a child, I could draw without teachers’ guidance But for some other people, drawing is really a big headache, and they’ll find it really difficult to master this skill www.facebook.com/TheStarTutoringCompany Tel: +61 478 764 364 Describe an

Murano glass figurine of Pegasus when I traveled to Venice //w w w fa ce bo ok co m /T he St It is about twelve inches high, massive and gorgeously-wrought sculpted glass with real gold spun through the wings, mane, and tail I fell in love with it when I saw it at the glass factory It was said to be 50 years old and thus hideously expensive, but I rationalized that it would be my one souvenir from that first European trip So I put it on my credit card and had it shipped to China ht s: My precious artwork arrived a few weeks after I returned home I unwrapped it and placed it carefully on a bookshelf in my new apartment I stood and admired it, then went to open the blinds so the sun could hit it, miscalculated my reach and knocked Pegasus right onto my newly waxed hardwood floor Of course, it broke, but not completely That was the worst part Both wings broke off, and one front leg was shattered But my mother thought it might be salvageable She found a glass artist in Shanghai who did his best to repair it And he did a fair job But I could never see it the same way again When I looked at it, I only saw how lovely it had been before my clumsiness ruined it It hurt to have broken Pegasus in my living room So I packed it away I still have it Five years later I have never re-opened the box, but I can’t bring myself to throw it away www.facebook.com/TheStarTutoringCompany

and Rotterdam very much because we saw pictures and heard stories from friends about how beautiful and wonderful the place is So finally we applied for a visa, bought plane tickets, booked a hotel, packed our bags, and our trip began ht s: We spent a lot of time before our holiday, researching of all the interesting places to visit and all the sights to see So we went to Rijks museum, Van Gogh museum, Amstel Beer Museum, took a romantic sunset cruise in the water channels, drove to Volendam, a small prettiest fisherman village, visited a cheese farm We went to Rotterdam, which is the architecture city of Holland that stimulates innovation But the journey was a bit terrible, because the third day we arrived at Holland, my friend lost his wallet We need to be extremely calculating

keep fit, currently, which is swimming I used to swim a lot when I was younger, but I’ve recently taken it up again, and I go a couple of times a week now //w w w fa ce bo ok co m /T I go swimming in a gym that I joined, which has a nice swimming pool I tried going to my local public pool, but it was too busy, and you couldn’t swim up and down there So, I found a gym that has a pool, and it’s usually quite empty, and I can have a lane to myself and swim up and down ht s: As I said, I this hobby or activity alone I don’t go there with anyone; it’s a solitary sport really and I’m doing it for my health reasons Obviously, of course, there are other people in the pool when I’m there; sometimes you have to share a lane with another person or a couple of people But I’m in there, focused, on my own, concentrating on my swimming stroke and technique and trying to improve my endurance and stamina as well And the reason I think this is a healthy sport well, I think it’s widely accepted that swimming is healthy It’s a good all-over body workout; it’s great cardiovascular exercise; it’s a low-impact sport So you’re not expected to get any injuries as you might if you were running, where there’s impact on the joints with swimming you don’t have that So I think it’s really good for the body, but it’s also good for the mind When I get into the swimming pool, as soon as I hit the
