中范文示例:Describe a positive change in your life
1.Is your country changing rapidly? 你的国家变化迅速吗?
Oh yeah, it is. My country is getting better and better year after year making rapid progress in a number of areas. First of all, more and more people in India are getting education and proper medical help as new schools and hospitals are being built and opened all around the country including rural areas. As a result, educational attainment level and health indicators like Infant Mortality and Average Life Expectancy have significantly improved over the last decade. What is more, facilities in the country are getting better and better, for example, roads are being built and fixed, a lot of modern buildings, shopping-centers and amusement parks are being constructed. Cities and towns look more and more attractive. One more thing I want to mention is the fact that a lot of modern and forward-looking businesses are being created providing more people with employment and, as a result, improving standard of living in the country.
2.Do you think change is good? 你认为改变是一件好事吗?
No doubt it is. It is a major driver of growth and development as it forces people outside their comfort zone, gets them out of their rut and teaches them to be flexible. Change always brings adventure into life, always challenges people and, as a result, makes them stronger. It also presents new opportunities and brings excitement to life. It breaks up routine and forces people to move. What is more, it keeps the mind active and this way triggers progress. Unfortunately, in many situations change puts a strain on people and makes them feel insecure or helpless, but still, in the long run, it brings better results. So I am sure people should embrace changes with open arms if they want to improve their lives.
3.What are some of the major changes that occur to people throughout their lives? 人们的生活中发生了哪些重要的改变?
Oh, I guess the major changes in our lives start from finishing school, entering a university and then graduating from it. At this point we become adults and start building our professional lives. Later on we face such professional changes as getting a job, having a new boss, getting promoted or losing a job. All these changes may trigger confusion, tension and fear making us feel nervous and sometimes even helpless. As far as major personal changes are concerned, are getting married, having a child children, getting divorced and losing a family member. I can also add such situations as moving to another country, having new neighbours and losing a lot of money. All of them are important as they usually put a severe strain on people forcing them outside their comfort zone.
4. In what ways have changes in technology changed people's lives? 科技在哪些方面改变了人们的生活?
Well, I would say in all possible ways. Changes in technology have made everything much easier. They have helped businesses go global and made banking and shopping faster and more efficient. People have become digitally, connected to the entire world. These days people can send an email to another country and get a reply within several minutes, moreover, they don't pay postage for that. Traditional chats have been replaced with virtual ones, letting people from all over the world communicate with each other whenever they have a wish and a spare moment. What is more, life has become much more technologically advanced opening plenty of opportunities such as travelling to other cities and countries, reading and watching films, studying and even working online.
