　　（2006 年 10 月 21 日）你认为领袖必需的素质是什么

　　（4）鼓励下级：encouraging to team-members Etc

　　Sample answer: （为了方便阅读，将每个小点分别列出）

　　Well, first of all, I think, a good leader should be encouraging enough.

　　For example, I had a boss, Jason, who used to say,”You are a capable young man, I know you can do it well” whenever I was not confident enough with my job. With his encouragement I was so successful in my job and became a team leader in 6 months.

　　Also, I believe a good leader should set good examples for all team-members. I remember my boss Jason used to workharder than any of us who were working with him in a team, even though he was the boss. We were so moved by what he did, and everybody followed his suit. So we were the most efficient team.

　　That's why I still remember Jason as my best boss till today.

　　（2007 年 01 月 26 日）描叙你的好朋友要有什么样的 characteristics?

　　（1）热心：always help me when needed

　　（2）有趣：在一起不觉得闷 tell jokes

　　（3）知识丰富：tell things that I don't know

　　Sample answer:

　　In my point of view, I like to stay with an honest friend. I see honesty as the most important part of a friend because no one likes to hang around with a liar.

　　Also, I like my friends to be helpful just like my friend Tony. You know, I am bit weak with my math. Tony often spends his spare time explaining to me those difficult math problems. As a result I am doing pretty well in my math exams.

　　What's more, I like to stay with interesting friends. Tony is a lot of fun. He knows so many jokes that you can laugh yourhead off when you crack jokes with him.

　　（2007 年 03 月 15 日）In your opinion, what is the most important quality of a good team member?

　　（1） 团结: COLLABORATIVE --- Working together precedes winning together

　　（2） 适应性：ADAPTABLE --- If you won't change for the team, the team may change you

　　（3） 有热情：ENTHUSIASTIC --- Your heart is the source of energy Etc

　　sample answer:

　　In my point of view, one of the important qualities a team-player should have is to be co-operative. You see, working in a team means we cannot be an ego-maniac who does not care about others and do whatever he likes to do. Instead, we should work side by side helping each other to finish the job well.

　　Also, another point I value is enthusiasm. You see nothing great can be achieved without enthusiasm. I have a colleague, Mike, who not only works hard but also inspires other team-members whenever we feel low. So it is always a niceexperience working with him. And whole team sees him as our treasure.

　　（2007 年 11 月 3 日）What do you think is ONE of the most important characteristics that a teacher should have?

　　思路：老师的品质，

　　参考朋友的品质 07.01.26

　　What charactereristics do you think a good teacher should have? (06．3．3；07．11．3考题)

　　Sample answer：

　　In my view，a good teacher should have different characteristics．

　　First，a good teacher should be faithful and dedicated to the job．If a teacher is faithful to the job，then s/he never cheats and will be impartial(偏向) and students will respect such a teacher．If a teacher is dedicated towards his/her work，then s/he will teach with his/her heart．

　　Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience．

　　Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly．A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way．

　　Most of all，a good teacher should update his/her knowledge because further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession．

　　What are important characteristics you look for in friends?(06．5．12；06．6．24；07．1．27考题)

　　Sample answer：

　　I think what makes a good friend is someone who is honest，supportive，and has a good sense of humor．I just look for someone who's honest to me no matter what．He should not tell stories behind my back；he should tell me my short-comings at my mouth，but never praises me in front of me．

　　It is a well known saying that “A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED．” Therefore，a friend should stand by you in the hour of any sort of need．I just think that a good friend won't leave me if I‘m in trouble．They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade，care for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great．

　　Also，I'd love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around．

　　Describe a person that influenced you most．(06．5．26；06．3．17；06．10．22考题；与06．5．26类似)

　　Sample answer：

　　The person that really influenced me most was Ms．Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature．

　　Her class was quite different from the other teachers．In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen．We had to get more involved in the class activities，like discussions，comments or debates sometimes．Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation．

　　On the other hand，she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly，she taught me how to live on my own．So that's why I was greatly influenced．Not only did she give me knowledge，but also she gave me courage and confidence as well．
