17. Please talk about any one of the following topics in one minute: festival, season, school, hobby, music, pet, Internet, car, character…
Festival
①Lantern Festival
Well, here I want to say something about the Lantern Festival.
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called Yuan-month and in the ancient times people called Night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China. It also marks the last day of Spring Festival.
According to Chinese tradition, on the night of this day, people usually make thousands of lanterns hung out together for others to appreciate. When the night comes, countless colorful lanterns are hanging in the open air, and all of them, because they are made by different people, have different shapes and colors. You can never imagine that a lantern can be made into so many different shapes. Some of them look like water melons, some like buildings, and some made into beautiful scenery. Right now, some people even make very large lanterns, which are more than two meters high. After the darkness comes, all the people come to the square from different directions to see the lanterns, and enjoy the bright full moon hanging high above in the sky. All the lanterns send people into a joyful atmosphere.
②Spring festival
In China, Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals. It is also getting more and more popular in some foreign countries. When Spring Festival comes, it means that a new year comes, and people grow a year older. During the festival, it is very crowded throughout the country.
On the eve of Spring Festival, parents get food, clothes and Spring Festival's goods prepared. The people who work outside come back, and the whole family gets together to have meals and say goodbye to the last year, and welcome the New Year. After the meal, they wait until midnight comes. They set off fireworks then.
On the first morning of the Spring Festival, everyone wears their new clothes and then go to other's homes to celebrate the New Year. Each family sets off fireworks when their guests come, and they take out sweets and peanuts to share. On the following days, they go around to their relatives and friends. The Spring Festival has several meanings. It means people working outside can come back to relax themselves, a new year begins. When spring comes, farmers begin to plant crops and people make a plan for the New Year.
All the people throughout the world pay much attention to it. Our country of course holds some national celebrations to celebrate it. This most traditional festival in China will go on being celebrated in the future.
③Dragon Boat Festival
There are many festivals in China, and each has special customs. However, among these festivals, I prefer the Dragon Boat Festival, because it usually reminds me of a famous person in Chinese history.
The origin of this festival can be traced back the Warring States Period. During that period, there was a patriotic poet named Qu Yuan, who was removed from office by those treacherous officials, and he was sent to exile by the Duke of Chu. During his exile, Qu Yuan still concerned about his country, and wrote lots of poems about his feeling towards his country. When he heard his country was occupied by the armies of another country, he jumped into the river to show his royalty. The local people wrapped glutinous rice in mugwort leaves and threw them into the river to lure the shrimps, fish and crabs away from the remains of the deceased poet. With the passing of time, the practice of throwing rice into the river as a sacrifice to Qu Yuan gradually evolved into a custom. From then on, to remember this famous poet and patriot, every year on Lunar May 5th, people eat Zongzi to show their respect and longings for the great patriotic poet.
It is the only day that people will hold a competition of dragon boats every year. In fact, people do not care about the result of the race. They enjoy the emotion the race brings to them. At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival is also "a cleaning festival". People clean their courtyard on this day, putting up some leaves of mugwort or cattail on either side of the door, spray realgar water, and drinking realgar liquor. People clean away the rotten, kill bacteria to prevent diseases.
Pet
①Recently, three owls appeared suddenly on our campus. They made me think of my pet from childhood. When I was little, we had an owl at home. It was small, gray, and had two big eyes. We liked it very much. Every time I went home, it greeted me by making "goo-goo" sounds. We always played with it and talked to it. It would blink its eyes just like it understood what we were saying. It was like my best friend. But when the weather became colder, we forgot to keep it warm, and it died. It made us sad for a long time, and it also taught me how important it is to take care of animals.[!--empirenews.page--]
②One day, my mother bought two little rabbits for me. I am very happy. From then on, the two little rabbits became my good friends. They have two little ears, red eyes, with white and fat body. They are marvelous. Everyday, they play with each other happily. One day, I couldn't find them. I asked my mother: "Where are they?" She told me that she didn't know. At last, I found them in the grass. They were very dirty. i was very angry, but when I looked at their lovely faces, I was happy again. I love them and they love me. They are my good friends for ever.
③I like pets very much. I have a dog. It's my favorite animal and white. It looks like a snow ball. It has two big eyes and ears. But its nose and mouth are very small. It's very naughty. It often stares my food when I have a meal. When I'm it follows me all the time. When I do my homework, it often sits beside quietly, but sometimes runs around me and shouts: bowwow, bowwow.
Season
①Spring: In one year there are four seasons as you know: spring, summer, autumn and winter. I like spring most, for the season that it is the time when the weather is mild and pleasant. All trees turn green and the flowers bloom. The whole world regains it vitality after the cold winter. So it is the best time to enjoy the beauty of nature. In spring I love to take some photos I like in the downtown and countryside, because the scenery at that time is pretty beautiful.
②Summer: In four seasons I have always been interested in summer, because I could swim in the natural waters and go for many interesting activities. I like ice cream best, and during that time I can enjoy ice cream everyday. As I mentioned before, I also could do a lot of sports, and I would like to have a long summer holiday.
③Autumn: As everyone knows there are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. If I choose one, I will choose autumn. Autumn is also the season of harvest. When I see the yellow leaves in the streets and breathe the fresh air. I feel very comfortable. The weather becomes quite cool after the high temperature of summer and it always has mild rains. When the autumn comes, the colors change with the sunlight, and the color varies slightly, which is the most wonderful picture you can ever enjoy in a year. Every time I look at the woods from the top of the hill, I begin to admire the creation of autumn. I want to tell you that the autumn makes me feel pretty that I can do everything I like with a high spirit.
④Winter: I would choose winter as my favorite season because I could enjoy many delicious foods, such as hot pot. I like snow very much. When it snows, I usually fight with my friends with snow balls, and that is my best time to enjoy, besides, I n China, winter is also the season we have Spring Festival. And it is the time that I have conclude the whole year's work and go back home to prepare for Spring Festival with my family members.

①Let me introduce my own school. I study in a middle school, where there are three grades and thirty-two classes. It is not big but very beautiful. In the center of the school there is a new teaching building, which is very clean and beautiful. The lab building and the library are to the east of the new building. There all kinds of book in the library. You can enjoy them as many as you like. A playground lies on the south of the new building and it's very big. On the playground, you can have sports such as football, basketball. You'd better play basketball as there are four basketball grounds in our school. You can enjoy yourself very much. There are also many trees in our school. Grass is everywhere. In front of the new building there are two gardens in which, there are flowers of all colours. We are studying hard in our school; our life is happy and interesting. I love our school very much.

Judging by her system, it is not hard for us to know, every student who studies in the school should live at school. Really so, I live at school all the day.
Our school is a modern senior middle school .In each classroom there is a computer which controls a projector. It is the paperless teaching that the teacher attends class. Students dive into it completely.

Hobby
①Hobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobby, life won't be as colorful as it should be. I have a variety of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments, reading, and doing sport activities. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood, I will also do my hobbies requires devotion. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over again in order to person good music. After a period if you still enjoy it, gradually it will become a hobby of yours. But remember: a hobby is like gold under the ground. Nobody will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.
②Everyone live in the world can't live without music. And my hobby is listening to music. I love Jay and Super Girl HeJie best. Jay's talent and HeJie's beautiful voice impress me a lot. When I rest after long-time study, listening to music can make me feel relaxed, and it also makes me energetic for next. It's good for everybody to have his own hobby.
③I am a student. I like play ball-games, such as basketball, football, baseball and so on. I think this hobby may help me with my body and keep healthy. Not only ball-games but also reading and play .I like reading books .I think they will help with my subjects .and will let me to know many things . I think my hobby is full of and keep me happy.
④I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, and watching TV. But reading is my favorite hobby. I like reading for three reasons. First, books introduce me to a new world, which is colorful and without time and space limit. Through reading, I can trace back to ancient Egypt, the cradle of human civilization. It can bring me to the United Sates, a charming land I have been longing to visit. Second, reading can better myself by showing me a new horizon. In the past years, most of my knowledge has been obtained from books. Third, reading can bridge the gap between my dream and my goal. In order to succeed in my career in the future, must keep reading, thinking and practicing. Reading has been part of my life.
Music
①I am a person who is very interested in music. Many people like music, so do I. When I was young, I sing a song as soon as go to bed. Now, my favorite music is pop music. My best pop singer is Jay Chou. His songs always sound wonderful. When he was unknown, he worked hard to create good songs. I admire him for his hard work. My parents like music, too. But their favourite singers are old and unfashionable. We all think music is the best way to rest and relax. We all love music.
②I am a fan of music. I like rock music because it has very good rhythm. I always turn my speakers to the maximum to feel the beat of the music, and the beat makes me extremely excited. I remember a phrase like his, "To let the beat control your body" and that is what I want. I like dancing and following the heavy beat together with my friend. Every time I get into music, I always forget everything I society, only the rhythms of the music and myself.
③Rich or poor, young or old, people always like listening to the music even though the songs that they like are different. I am a person who is very interested in music, I listening to music by my MP4 player, and I like English songs very much, because they can help me to practice my spoken English and because they sound good. And my favorite English songs are from an American group backstreet boys. It's called as long as you love me. As you know English songs lyrics are so easy that people can understand, then people always think they are pieces of cake and so do I, but in fact that are lucky like the as long as you love me I can understand it good for my spoken English do you think so ? I am sure that many songs are about loving and this song is about it too. I like Brain best because his voice is very good. As long as you love me become a real song of loving. There fore I like it very much. So I am sure that you have known my favorite song. I hope you will like it. Will you? [!--empirenews.page--]
④What I like is classical music. I have nearly every famous classical works that was ever produced in China, and some of them are played by different musical instruments. I could sit in my room for hours and listen to the classical music. I always calm down at this moment because you need a peaceful heart to understand the words of the composers. The music always sounds like a conversation between the composer and me, and I can say that it has greatly purified my heart. Sometimes I will attend several concerts and listen to the music with other enthusiasts.
Cars
①Nowadays, we can often hear the discussion whether buying cars should be encouraged. Some people suggest that we should buy cars. But others claim that driving cars is not a wise idea. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of the latter opinion.
To begin with, there are few parking lots, so the streets are made narrower by the cars parked along the roads. For example, my father could not find any places to park when we went to the supermarket.
Moreover, many drivers do not obey regulations, because people do not pay enough attention to the rule of traffic. For instance, I often see people cross the road when the traffic lights are still red.
Last but not least, the growth of new roads' construction is usually slower than the increasing number of cars. For example, the length of the road has gone up by 20% in 2002. However, the number of cars increased by 50% in the meantime.
From what has been discussed above, we could draw a conclusion that encouraging buying cars is not fit for today.
②Nowadays more and more families own private cars. Private cars, as the product of modem civilization, have been playing a vital role in people's daily activities.
Firstly, private cars are a convenient means of transportation. You can go wherever you like.
Secondly, there is no doubt that private cars will have a great impact on the economic growth. The rapid car industry growth will contribute much to keeping the country's economy growing at a higher rate in the near future.
But every coin has two sides. The development of the private cars will bring about a series of problems. For example, the polluted air given off by cars will do great harm to our health, too many private cars will lead to traffic jams and a great deal of energy will be wasted and so on.
So I think we should take advantages of private cars and make them serve us better. Meantime we hope that satisfactory solutions to these negative problems will be found soon.
③Cars Drive in Ordinary Chinese Homes
Some industry insiders claim, "China which used to be a state on two wheels will some day be a state on four wheels." With the level of life raised, more families will prefer to buy cars. Cars provide speed, comfort and convenience in getting around. As the product of modern civilization, cars are likely to play a vital part in daily activities of Chinese.
Obviously, cars, like anything else, have more than one face to families in China. Let's have a closer look at the present situation. We may find that though some people can afford them, crowded streets, limited parking lots(停车场) and costly maintenance(保养)are headaches to private car drivers.
Although private car drivers have some troubles, driving a car indicates the trend of modern living. With low tax, sufficient highway development and parking lots, cars are bound to be household vehicles with high performance. Then private cars will enjoy more popularity
④Cars and Bicycles
Cars and bicycles are similar in that they are both privately owned means of transport.
However, there are a lot of differences between them. Buying a car costs a lot more than a bicycle. In addition, it is far more expensive to run. For example, a car has to be insured, and must be served regularly; further more, spare parts for a car cost a lot of money. A car uses petrol which is expensive, where as a bicycle uses only human energy.
On the other hand, as far as comfort is concerned, a car is better than a bicycle. In a car you are protected from the weather, and have comfortable seats and plenty of room to carry people and luggage.
A car is not only more comfortable than a bicycle, it is faster as well.
With respect to convenience, it is difficult to say which one is better. A bicycle is certainly easier to park!
So it is difficult to make a choice. In my opinion, if you can afford it, you'd better buy both a car and a bicycle. It will be very convenient.
Internet
①The Internet was first established in 1960s. At that time, the computer was both large and expensive and the networks were unable to work well. If one of the computers broke down, the whole networks would be unable to work. At first, the Internet was just used by the government. By 1970s, it had been used in universities, banks and hospitals. At the beginning of 1990s, computers became both cheaper and easier to operate. Now it is very convenient to log on the Internet. It is said that each day tens of millions of people log on the Internet. Sending e-mails is becoming more and more popular. The Internet has become the most important part of people's life.[!--empirenews.page--]
②The following aspects could best illustrate the advantages of Internet. Net surfers (网上冲浪者) in different countries can share interesting knowledge and the latest information.
Besides, Internet has provided a major opportunity to buy and sell merchandise (商品). What is more, people may get medical help or even vote on Internet. Its advantages seem countless.
Behind all this glowing talk, however, are some problems. Internet makes people passive by stopping them making their own entertainment.
So much so that when there is a breakdown or jam, people may find that World Wide Web turns into World Wide Wait.
What is worse, some children have access to the scenes of violence and sex. Apart from these, it can be affected by viruses(病毒) and hackers (黑客).
We should handle its problems, and meanwhile we should exploit its potential as well. With proper management of Internet people ought to experience more fruits of the information revolution. All the wisdom of the ages, all the information that has enlightened mankind for centuries, should be available to us with the healthy development of Internet.
③Internet is very useful for us. The Internet is a great facility for collecting information. The Internet makes it easy to build social connections. We can have a lot of friends all over the world and reach much knowledge by Internet. Millions of people communicate today through E-mail. But the disadvantages of Internet also have a lot. The network information may be falsehood, so mach as leading to a wrong decision-making. May online socialization weaken our ability to deal with relationships in the real world? The weak-willed persons maybe indulge network-game and amusement in Internet thereby disrepair own career.
④The loveliness of Internet is infinitude and colorful, but strengthen to manage it. We make good use of it only while we have an appropriate approach to Internet. The Internet plays a very important role in our day life. Everyday thousands people surf the net. With the help of the net you can get many useful information, you can make friends with different people who are known or unknown, you can ask the help or question the answer. Every coin has two sides; there is so much rubbish on the net, which are some medium messages about crime or sex. Moreover the cost is large, which also make people waste time on it. It's abilities should used by people. We should correctly take the advantage of the net, make our life more beautiful.

She is always very gentle. She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have two brothers and two sisters. So she gets five children in all. She gives us every comfort we need. We all love her very much. My mother has too much to do in bring us up. As our family is not rich enough, my mother always hits to do a lot of work. She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day. She works very hard, yet without complaining.
My mother is also a thrifty and industrious woman. She saves every penny that she can to keep everything in order. As she has been busy ever since she was young, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes silver white, and some of her teeth become movable. But she works as hard as ever.
My mother often says to us, "work while you work, and play while you play. If you did not work, you will become lazy and of no use to the society." What a good piece of advice it is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our minds.
③Last Friday I fell off my bike. One of my legs was badly hurt and I had to stay in bed.
That evening, when I was alone, feeling sad, Mrs. Li, my English teacher, came to see me. I was too excited to say a word. "I am very sorry to hear the bad news," she began taking a seat by my side. "You mustn't worry about your lessons. I can help you." "Thank you, teacher. But you are so busy. What's more, you are in poor health yourself." "Never mind." With the words, she took out the textbook and began to explain the text. With her help, I didn't fall behind in study. What a good teacher she is![!--empirenews.page--]
④I have a good friend. She is a pretty girl. She is a middle school student. She has big eyes, a small mouth, a small nose and a round face. She is tall and thin. She likes watching TV and playing the basketball. On the weekend, she always plays basketball with her friends in the afternoon and watches TV in the evening. She is a good student. She is good at English. She likes speaking in English. She always reports news in English in her school. She says we are good friends. We often send e-mails to each other everyday. I like her very much.
18. Roleplay
<The Lion King>
Mufasa: Look, Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom.
Simba: Wow!
Mufasa: A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here and rises with you as the new king.
Simba: And this will all be mine?
Mufasa: Everything!
Simba: Everything the light touches! What about the shadowy place?
Mufasa: That's beyond our borders; you must never go there, Simba.
Simba: But I thought a king can do whatever he wants.
Mufasa: Oh there's more to being king than getting your way all the time.
Simba: There more?
Mufasa: Simba, everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures from the crawling ants to the leaping antelope.
Simba: But dad, do we eat antelope?
Mufasa: Yes, Simba. But let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelope eats the grass, and so we are all connected in the great circle of life...
<Harry Potter>
D: Harry, do you know why professor Quirrell couldn't bear to have you touch him? It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you. And that kind of act leaves a mark.
(Harry touches his scar)
H: No, this kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your very skin.
D: What is it?
H: Love, Harry, live.
<Forest Gump>
Gump: What's the matter, Mama?
Mum: I'm dying, Forrest. Come on in, sit down over here.
Gump: Why are you dying, Mama?
Mum: It's my time. It's just my time. Oh, now...don't you be afraid, sweet heart. Death is just a part of life. Something we're all destined to do. I didn't know it, but I was destined to be your mama. I did the best I could.
Gump: You did good.
Mum: Well...I happen to believe you make your own destiny. You have to do the best with what God gave you.
Gump: What's my destiny, Mama?
Mum: You're going to have to figure that out for yourself. Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're going to get.
<Garfield>
Garfield: Ahh, so much time and so little I need to do.
Jon: Mouse!
Garfield: No, thanks, I'm full.
Jon: Get him, Garfield!
Garfield: Get him, Jon. It's always got to be smashing and crashing. Nobody poisons anymore. There's my ball!
Jon: What good is a cat if he can't chase a mouse?
Garfield: I don't do the "chase" thing.
Jon: I know you don't hear me, but can't you just listen?
Garfield: Louis, what are you doing in the house, in Jon's home?
Louis: Sorry, Garfield, and I couldn't help it.
Garfield: Look, when he sees you here, he expects more from me, don't you get that?
Louis: Yes, he's got that mint cookie. I'm trying to maintain, you understand?
Garfield: Sure, as long as you understand I have to eat you.
Louis: Ohh...
Jon: Oh, good boy! See I know you can do it if you put your mind to it! You are the best kind of cat I could have.
Garfield: Have you tasted yourself lately?
Louis: Hey, it wasn't exactly the first-class laundry there for me!
Garfield: Get yourself washed, Louis. Take a powder for a couple of days, get a haircut and grow beard.
Louis: Cool! I owe you one, Garfield.
