Part 1: Did you enjoy traveling by car when you were a kid?

Yes, I did. When I was a kid, my mother drove a lot, and about once a month we drove to my grandparents' home. The trip usually took around two hours on the road. I normally just sat in the car and listened to music with my family. It was not a very exciting trip, but it gave me a comfortable memory because I could spend time with my mother and look at the scenery outside the window.

Do you like going to parks as a kid?

Yes, I liked going to parks when I was younger because parks are places where people in the city can get closer to nature.

Do you think there should be more parks in your hometown?

In my hometown, I do not think we need many more parks because the city is not very big and there are already quite a few parks.

What kind of things do people usually do in parks?

People usually go there to walk, do some exercise, or relax with their families.

What do you do at parks?

Personally, I sometimes go to parks for cycling, because it is more comfortable than cycling on crowded roads.

When was the last time you were in a crowded place?

The last time I was in a crowded place was about two days ago, when I was at Beijing airport.

How did it make you feel?

It made me feel uncomfortable because there was too much noise around me. I had to wear headphones to block out the noise. I prefer quiet places, so I do not really enjoy crowded places, especially when I need to wait for a long time.

Where did you go for a walk lately?

Recently, I took a walk along the river in my hometown. A few weeks ago, one of my classmates came to my city, and because he was not from there, I took him for a walk along the river. It was a simple walk, but it was a good way to show him the local scenery. I like walking near water because the environment is quieter and more relaxing than the city center.

Part 2: Describe a bicycle trip you took

I'd like to talk about a bike trip to my grandparents' home. I ride there about every two weeks, and the whole trip takes around five hours. It is about 120 kilometers to go there and come back home. At the beginning of this year, the weather was still very cold, but the flowers in the fields were starting to bloom. I could see a lot of beautiful scenery along the road, and I also liked taking photos on my route. To be honest, I felt exhausted after finishing the trip, but I also enjoyed the strong sense of achievement it gave me. That is why this bike trip is meaningful to me.

Part 3: How urban and rural transportation systems are different

I think transportation in rural areas and urban areas is quite different. In rural areas, the distance between places is usually longer, and there may not be as many stops or choices. People may take buses between towns, but the system is not always very convenient. In cities, people have many more choices, such as buses, subways, taxis, shared bikes, and scooters. However, city transportation can also be stressful because people often get stuck in traffic for a long time. In rural areas, the commute may be slower, but it can be more enjoyable because you can see more scenery.

Part 3: Does air pollution mostly come from vehicles?

I do not think most air pollution comes from ordinary cars. Cars do create pollution, but I think the biggest source of pollution is power plants, especially coal power plants. In China, we still rely heavily on coal power in many places. Coal power comes from burning coal, and power plants produce a lot of carbon dioxide and other waste. Also, airplanes and large-scale transportation can produce a huge amount of carbon dioxide. So, regular people driving cars are only one part of the problem, not the whole problem.

Part 3: The future of electric cars

I do not think electric cars will completely replace traditional cars. Electric cars are useful, and they may become more common in the future, but I am still a fan of traditional cars with engines. I like racing, especially Formula One, and I think there is something special about an engine with many moving parts. An engine feels more complex and alive to me. Electric cars run on batteries, and batteries can wear out over time. So I believe traditional cars will still have a place in the future.

Part 2: Describe a person who likes the natural world

I want to describe one of my father's friends. He is in his forties, and he is really passionate about outdoor activities. A few years ago, he even rented an entire mountain so that he could spend a lot of time outdoors. He used to hunt wild boars, and he kept a group of dogs to help him chase them. He also liked fishing near the reservoir and looking for things in the mountains, such as beehives. There is even a scar on his face from an accident when he was chasing a boar. Nowadays, he has stopped killing wild animals because people understand the importance of protecting the natural environment. I think he is an interesting person because he has had many unusual outdoor experiences.

Part 3: Should parents teach children to protect the environment?

Yes, I think parents should teach children to protect the environment. Parents are very influential in children's lives, and the way children live is strongly affected by what their parents teach them. Schools can teach some knowledge about nature from books, but parents can do something more practical. They can take their children to the mountains or to the wild on a regular basis and show them why nature is beautiful. If children actually see nature, they may care about it more.

Part 3: What can people do to protect nature?

For individuals like me, one thing we can do is reduce the amount of garbage we produce. For example, we should reduce the use of plastic products, because many plastic products do not decompose and can stay in nature for hundreds of years. We can also buy fewer unnecessary things. If something is still useful but we do not need it anymore, we can donate it to someone else instead of throwing it away. In this way, the product can be used for a longer time and create less waste.

Part 3: Is it easy for city children to get close to nature?

No, I do not think it is easy for city children to get close to nature. On weekdays, most students have to go to school and take classes. On weekends, many of them still need to go to extra study places outside school, so they have very little time to manage by themselves. Even if some children are interested in nature, they may not have enough chances to go there. It is hard to care about something if you have never really seen it. Watching nature in a documentary is completely different from being there in person.

Part 2: Describe a time when you worked in a group

I want to talk about a time when I worked with another football team at school. My own class did not have enough players, so we were not involved in the game. Another team was short of players, and they asked me to join them on very short notice. It was actually the final match in our school, and I played as a striker. We had never played together before, so it was not easy for us to cooperate. During the game, some players on the other team were quite rude, and my teammates became very angry. I told them not to be so angry because football should be enjoyable. In the end, we lost by one score because the referee did not give a foul when a player touched the ball with his hand in the box. Even though we lost, I still think it was a valuable experience.

Part 3: Is winning the whole point of sport?

I think winning and losing are important, but they are not the whole point of sport. Of course, every team wants to win, and a competition needs a result. However, the more important thing is that players train hard, improve themselves, and enjoy the process of training and playing. In my football experience, we lost the match because of a controversial decision, but I still learned how to cooperate with new teammates and how to control my emotions. That experience was still valuable.

Part 3: What makes a good leader?

I think a good leader must have good judgment. A leader should be able to read people and assign different jobs according to their personalities and professional backgrounds. For example, some people are good at research because they can focus for a long time without being disturbed, while others are better at communicating with customers or teammates. If a leader puts people in the wrong position, it can harm the whole group. So, a good leader must be good at spotting talent and using talent in the right place. Also, a leader should work hard himself, because if he only gives orders and does nothing, other people will not respect him.

Part 3: Should students learn to work in groups?

Yes, I think students should learn to work in groups at school. Working as a group can improve children's ability to communicate with each other. It also helps them learn how to build relationships with different people. In the future, most people will need to cooperate with others at work, so group work is a useful skill. If students only work alone all the time, they may be good at finishing their own tasks, but they may not know how to discuss ideas or solve conflicts with others.

Part 3: Why do some people prefer working alone?

Some people prefer working alone because they can focus better without being distracted by other people. This is especially true for jobs that require deep thinking, such as studying, writing, or doing research. When people work in a group, they may need to spend a lot of time communicating, explaining, and reaching agreement. That can be useful, but it can also slow them down. If a person already knows exactly what to do, working alone may give them a quieter environment and make them more efficient.
