5. Do you think practical skills such as communication skills and critical thinking are important for students' development in a long run? Why?
這個問題其實拓展了practical skills的外延，也繼續(xù)考查考生對這個概念的理解。考生可以從不同的角度來回答交際技巧與理性思維的重要性，同時也可以使用多種修辭方法來增強自己的順服力。
Candidate 1: I hold a firm stand that practical skills are crucial and indispensable for students' development in the long run. Without effective communication, people cannot share useful information with each other and making friends proves to be difficult. This certainly cannot help the students to develop into a well-balanced individual.
Moreover, critical thinking enables the students to identify truth from fallacy(謬誤), which is significant in their future life. In a word, everyone should improve practical skills as much as one can.
Candidate 2: Yes, I think so. When we go to work in the society, we won't work alone. It will be efficient for us to work as a team. So the communication skills is indispensable(不可或缺的). And proper communication will mark the team more united. Critial thinking is necessary for us to be independent. It is impossible and impractical to follow the thoughts of others all the time and we ought to express our own mind in a proper way.
6. Why some elderly people get back to school for education?
現(xiàn)如今越來越多的從業(yè)者在工作一般時間后又重返校園，繼續(xù)深造。象牙塔里的生活雖然單調(diào)，但卻純潔無暇、充滿樂趣。或許也正是因為這個原因，許多已經(jīng)參加工作的人又重返校園，重溫那段恬靜而安靜的時光。回答好這個問題要求應答者有很好的總結能力。
Candidate 1: Recently, we can see a lot of elderly people in schools or college studying with us. They study hard, listen to the teacher very carefully and the expressions on their faces looks even happier than us. Yes, they are enjoying the school life and taking a rest there. Now our educational system has undertaken(承擔) some revolutions to offer those people the chance to return to school. All in all, schools or college are no longer the places only for the young. They are heaven for all people who are thirsty for(渴望) education.
Candidate 2: Nowadays we find many people who have already had a job return to school for further education. That's interesting. But why? First, the development of economy and society poses(施加) pressure and challenges to people. If you want to catch up with the advancing society and get a good job, you must gain more knowledge and broaden your mind. Second, knowledge is constantly changing and updating. Comparing with young people who have just graduated and mastered the lastest knowledge, elderly people long to get back to school to study the updating knowledge and ideas so that they may win in the job competition.
Candidate 3: It's universally acknowledged(眾所周知) that the world is changing fast before we get ready for it. What we learn now is probably going to be useless when we graduate form the college someday. In other words, what we are doing now is all in vain to some extent, to say nothing of(更別提) those who have left school for years. Knowledge is power. In order to follow up with(追趕上) the rapid progress of modern world, we young people should equip ourselves with updated knowledge. So it is with elderly people. That's why many of them go back to school for further study.
相對于Candidate 1的回答，Candidate 2的回答顯然更現(xiàn)實了一些。列舉出兩點從業(yè)者重返校園的原因，觀點明晰，語言流暢。
7. What's your understanding of the concept "life education"?
終身學習的理念可謂是學習的最高境界。答案可以涵蓋答題人的學習心得和對生活的感情。
Candidate 1: According to my understanding, life education means learning throughout the whole life on one's own initiative(自出的). If a person is senstive enough, he or she will find that life's philosophy exists everywhere.Never stop absorbing nutrition from the seemingly common life. For adults, they'd better open their mind to receive updated knowledge, to keep pace with the era to get a further understanding of the world. Without studying, they cannot compete with the energetic and talented young generation.
Candidate 2: Life education is an inevitable trend(必然的趨勢) nowadays. With the development of society, it requires us to be knowledgeable and command more skills. That is to say, if we don't keep learning, we will be less competitive and may be laid off someday. The importance of life education for adults lies in some aspects; at first, it makes a person more skillful and keeps the pace of society. Then they may have more chance of promotions because of their dillgence. Last but not least, they can set good examples for the next generation.
