Candidate 1: I think the essential conditions of success should be a definite goal(明確的目標), hard work, persistence and a good chance. First, we'd better make our goals definite, otherwise we would feel like being at a loss(不知所措). Second, we must work hard for the goals because it's well known that success needs 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration(靈感). Third, when we're on the way to the goals, we need persist in them. Persistence, which I believe would be the most difficult, is also an important elements of success. Finally, we should wait for a good chance appearing and catch it tightly. Then success could give us a close embrace(擁抱).
越是邏輯清晰、有條理的回答越容易給考官留下好的印象。成功四要素——目標、勤奮、毅力、機遇。

Candidate 2: Everyone wants to succeed. But what are the essential conditions of success? Firstly, you must have genius. Genius shows that one may have gift in certain field. For example, if a person doesn't have the gift in painting, he can hardly succeed in painting. Secondly, it's curiosity. People must have it so that they can find some strange things and create new thingd. The third one is confidence. Having confidence, you'll believe in yourself so that you have the passion to develop. The last one is determination. When you explore success, you may meet with failure. Don't give up and you will finally succeed.
結構和Candidate 1基本一樣。只是我們看到不同的成功要素——天才、好奇心、信心和決心。

9. Do you think there should be an age-limit on job?
工作年齡有上限和下限之分，即最低工作年齡和通常說的正常退休年齡，取決于考生善于闡述哪一方面。

Candidate 1: As far as I am concerned, there should be an age-limit on job. On one hand, there are some bad phenomena in our society. A lot of pupils are forced to work in some factories, which is not legal(合法的). Also, it makes a bad impact(影響) on children's health development. On the other hand, elderly people wouldn't have enough energy to do their job perfectly, so they should retire and be taken care of by the society. Above all, I think there should be an age-limit on job.
“立論——分析——總結”這一典型結構使應答者顯得層次分明。On the one hand和On the other hand分別闡述了兩類工作年限；Above all再次呼應開頭的立論，一氣呵成。

Candidate 2: I support that there should be an age-limit on jobs. Because I believe that different people have different abilities, especially people of different ages. For example, can a 13-year-old boy really do some work which should be done by a 30-year-old man such as moving stones or constructing(建造)buildings? Of course not.
Candidate 2巧妙地給出了一個反問式的例子，從而變被動為主動，使回答更為鮮活生動。

Candidate 3: I disagree with the idea that there should be an age-limit on jobs. Age-limit keeps from doing interesting things, and deprives people of(剝奪) their human rights(人權). In my opinion, age is not priority(優先考慮的事情). When you apply for a job, the recruiter(招聘人員) pays close attention to your ability and talent, and age can only be a reference(參考) element. If you like the job and your really need it, you can try and prove yourself, no matter how old you are.
年齡并不重要，證明和展示自己才是最重要的。Candidate 3首先旗幟鮮明地否認了命題的觀點，繼而引出自己的觀點。
