Describe  one argument that you had with others. What are the conflict and the  consequence?
解题思路：一般很快能想到工作，生活，学习中遇到的冲突。当然不要描述得特别负面是吧，什么停车时候跟别人撞上了然后大打出手之类的，毕竟对方考官也是人来审阅而不是alphago嘛。
Answer: At work, once we were faced with a very tight deadline. I was co-leading the project with another colleague. He wanted to rush and meet the deadline. But I wanted to solidly finish every detail so we wouldn't generate a bunch of skeletons in the closet which might blow up in our faces in the future.  He argued that meeting the deadline was the most pressing issue and we would be in trouble immediately if we didn't finish on time. Ｉthought it was very short sighted. In the end, we compromised by completing all the major issues solidly and delivering the project on time as a whole, while asking for some extra time to wrap up the minor details, so both the client and my colleague were happy with the result.

Describe something that you are doing now but did not expect to do ten years ago.
解题思路：现在有很有很多事情十年前可能都想不到，我就简单举例说说工作上的事吧，因为十年前我读的专业和我现在的工作没什么联系。个人觉得什么科技发展带来的进步之类的也可以说，比如说移动支付，智能手机之类的。
Ten years ago I was 18 and I was just admitted to department of economics of university. I was hoping that I can be an economist after my graduation. But today, I am working in the real estate development industry, focusing on acquisition and financing, far from an economist. I seek good deals and development site every day, underwrite deals which I think are profitable and go out and visit the actual site to evaluate the potential of future development. I meet and talk with many different people and I visit different places. People say you have to see many sites to become a true acquisition expert and I believe I am on the right track.

Three  kinds of activities will be offered on a special day organized by the  International Student office. Which one do you prefer?
1.International food fair;
2. International music festival;
3. International film festival.
解题思路：这个题目人人都有话说，挑个自己能说得出彩并且比较自然的说。我挑吃的吧。
Answer: I would prefer the international food fair. I can't cook but I love to eat. Tasting different cuisines is my way of getting to learn about another culture. Everyone knows what a fish is. Yet there are literally a million ways to cook that fish. Not so long ago, I drank the most delicious fish soup ever. I didn't think it was possible that something as common as fish soup could delight me.  And when it was brought to the table, it seemed like a plain bowl of soup. But it turned out to be have no fishy odor at all and was just wonderful. Then I can go on and on about Mexican fajitas, Japanese sushi, Thai Pad Thai, and Chinese Hot Pot. Experiences like these bring great enjoyment to me so I would definitely prefer to attend an international food fair.

Friends may disagree with each other, and still remain friendship. Do you agree with  or disagree with this idea, why?
解题思路：这题有点难度，我个人觉得同意比较好说，好像也更符合常理。主要从几个方面入手吧：是什么促成了友谊；理解万岁；友谊高于对事物的看法。
Of course I agree with this idea. People become friends for many reasons, and I believe one reason is that they can talk and exchange different ideas and thoughts. I can't imagine two people have same idea on everything. It’s just not possible. Furthermore, one very important thing about friendship is understanding. Personally I believe understanding means seeking common while reserving differences and that’s what happens every day in the real world. Finally, I would say friendship is above agreement or disagreement, it's more personal and emotional, and I believe it has nothing to do with ideas on specific issue.

Working  in a smaller company or organization with only a few people or working in a  large company with many employees, which one do you prefer and why?
解题思路：见仁见智咯。小公司灵活，大公司规范。
Answer: Having worked in both small and large companies, I would say that I prefer to work in a large company. There are three reasons for my preference. Large companies often have more mature management systems and for people in the early stage of their career, it's important to learn the right way to do something. Granted, smaller companies are more flexible, but that may also mean more chaotic. Secondly, because of the more mature environment, it's more predictable the skills and knowledge that you will gain, whereas learning in a small company is more haphazard and random. Thirdly, work experience in a large company is more valued by future employers than work experience in smaller companies. So overall, I prefer to work in a large company.

Do you agree or disagree the following statement: the increasing entertainment technology makes fewer people read books.
解题思路：事实就是越来越多的人玩手机，玩各种游戏而读书的人越来越少。。。所以我同意。。然后举一些例子来证明这个论点就行。。
Based on what happens in China nowadays, I totally agree with this statement. Young people entertain themselves by playing video games, computer games, mobile games and even board games. It’s not just about entertainment, maybe more about social. Reading books can’t achieve same result as playing games. Also, games are becoming fancier and fancier, more and more advanced technologies are used in developing games, such as AR and VR. These new technologies make people feel playing games in the real world and attract more and more gamers. Finally, I would say the increasing entertainment technology help people relax better then reading books.

Preference:  Do you prefer to read paper books or electronic books.
解题思路：二选一。
Answer: I prefer to read electronic books. First of all, electronic books are easier to carry. I can carry all my books in my kindle and it weighs less than just one book. So this is extremely convenient. Secondly, it's easier to search in electronic books. If I remember a few key words, I can easily find the relevant paragraph, which is harder to do in a paper book. Then, electronic books can be instantly bought and downloaded and this saves time from waiting for the book to arrive. Finally, this saves trees and if we all read electronic books, we can save millions of trees and lots of ink too.

Some people believe that class discussions should be part of the grade.  Others believe that only written assignments and exams should be part of the grade. Which one do you agree and why?
解题思路：这个问题见仁见智，我这种不擅长考试的必然选择课堂讨论进入成绩。
Personally I believe that class discussions should definitely be part of the grade. First, the grade should reflect the students’ skills in a comprehensive way, class discussions happen randomly and may happen on every class, teacher could find out if the student is following the content of the class. Not only that, by integrating class discussions into grade, the teacher could facilitate the class discussions and get more students involved in the teaching content. Finally I believe we all know that written assignments and exams sometimes can be copied thus making the grade lack fidelity. So overall I would say class discussions should be part of the grade.」

Do  you prefer to rent a house that is very close to your school but will cost  more or a house that is far from your school but costs less?
解题思路：这个问题随便挑，不涉及三观。
I would personally choose to rent a house close to school. In the city I live in, it usually takes a lot of time to get to other places, so if I lived far from school, I would have to spend a lot of time on the commute. It's common to spend an hour or so on the road one-way, so assuming I can save two hours roundtrip if I lived near school. I tend to value my time highly and two hours can be spent exercising, reading, studying and so on. Even spending two hours leisure time taking a nap is better than spending it on the road.   2 hours a day is 730 hours a year or around 500 hours a school year and 4 years of university is 2000 hours. 2000 hours well spent can be greatly beneficial and I would definitely not waste it commuting. Of course, it would cost a bit more, but I would consider it money well spent.
