二、具體題目分析：
Describe a talkative person you know.
You should say:
Who he or she is
How you got to know him or her
What he or she likes to talk about
And explain how do you like him or her
Actually this topic reminds me of a boy named Jason. I knew Jason from an international exchange program in Chicago University last year. It was my first time got to know him but soon we became good friends. He is a charming boy who is also pretty stout. But what makes him a real popular program in our class is his perfect personality, you know, quite outgoing and approachable. Actually, what I can learn from him is his inter-personal communicative skills. Or, in other words, being talkative. That’s our first time to participate in an English program with so many classmates with many countries. For the first week, I felt hard to get along with my teammates, as I was reluctant to speak to others. But it seemed like Jason was having a great time with his teammates. And I notice that, Jason was glad to talk and share his ideas with others, though he was not always fluent. I wouldn’t say he talked too much, I guess he just made good use all possible opportunities to practice and interact with others which was actually beneficial. At the end of that exchange program, I turned to another person and I guess I should be thankful to Jason because he was the person who really inspired me.

TASK 2
Some people think that children should take formal learning at school as young as possible. While others think children should not study at school until at least 7 years old. Discuss both views, and give your own opinion.
題目分析：
題目類型：教育類
提問方式：論述類
Controversy arises as for when children are supposed to embark upon their formal study. I hold the view that earlier exposure to study is an asset for children, even though some minor drawbacks may occur.
Some people advocate the early learning time because this practice could make full play of children’s potential and their intrinsic characters. In their earlier childhood, children tend to be more curious about the world around them and they are more willing to try brand-new things. Motivated by this inherent feature, children are more likely to show interest in school subjects and feel less frustrated and daunted when they encounter some problems and challenges. With due guidance and inspiration from teachers, children may be even cultivated with passion and perseverance, which can provide relentless incentive in the long run.
The opponents, however, deem it unnecessary for children to commence study before they are aged 7 years old. Children are too young to be put under the academic stress and peer competition, mainly because they are not mentally strong and not capable of releasing study-induced stress in a moderate way. The ever-increasing study load also increases the likelihood of less outdoor exercise and contact with nature, which make children less physically strong and even suffer from poor eyesight and some diseases.
Personally, I believe it is sensible for children to start their study earlier. Schools are places where not only knowledge is taught, but also the first spot where students can learn social rules and cultivate their interpersonal communication skills. Children are required to obey school rules, such as being punctual for the class and respecting their classmates and teachers. This can help them to behave in a socially acceptable way and take others into consideration when necessary. In schools, children will also participate in activities, which means they need to listen to their peers and express their own ideas, a practice which will nurture and facilitate their communication abilities.
