    Writing practice: unpaid community service [ Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree? ] Some people may argue that the students should be encouraged to take part in community service programmes without payments as part of the curriculums in secondary school. Personally, I disagree with it that people should be forced to do any voluntary work. The most important reason is that accessing to high education is often determined by performance in university entrance examinations. As a result of the performance, the students have fully assigned many fundamental subjects, ranging from math to science to physics, while preparing their study in high school. There is no doubt that voluntary work is a compulsory course of the school curriculum could occupy their study time. Besides the study time, students are also encouraged to enjoy their free time by attending leisure activities, hanging out with their friends and doing some exercises. A further reason is that unpaid community service is distinct from volunteering which means people who offers to contributed without being forced to do it or paid for it, just because they are willing to do it. Community service projects requires local governments to address the needs in their local living place, not school. At that point, the student is welcomed to participant in voluntary service as a local resident, gain the community service-learning skill and receive an opportunity to change the community. In conclusion, unpaid community service provides a bridge for students and society, but it should not technically consider as part of compulsory curriculums for teenagers in school.

    Writing practice: bar chart [The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billions) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three categories, from 1995-2002.] The bar chart illustrates the change of how billions of minutes of phone calls by three call types: Local calls (fixed line), national and internal calls (fixed line) and all Mobile calls in British between 1995 and 2002. It is clear from the chart that land lines were predominated in call types in UK over a period of 7 years in Unite kingdom and the amount of fixed domestic and foreign lines and mobile calls were significant increased. The figure of minutes of local fixed lines outnumbered the national and international fixed lines by two to one (nearly 72 billion minutes vs. 37 billion minutes) in 1995 and reached the highest point (90 billion minutes) in 1999 before falling gradually. The national and international calls rose steadily from 1995 to 2002 (in 62 billion minutes). However, the mobile calls were particularly little in three types of phone calls which only 4 billion minutes in total in 1995 and rising sharply from 1999 and peaked at around 45 billion minutes in 2002. Overall, the chart shows the mobile phone calls and the national and international calls tended to do better than the local calls in 21st century in UK.

    Writing practice about public health and sport facilities [Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both there views and give your own opinions.] Rising the amounts of sports amenities may make national physical wellbeing, some opponents may think that the influence could be minimal and other ways of actions are needed. While there are benefits to increasing the fundamental sports facilities in local community, I would argue that it is better to raise public awareness of health. The option to increase the amount of sport amenities is practical for several reasons. The sports facilities in community are strongly encouraged local residents to use by local governments, and it is completely free. People are able to take exercise with their families or neighbors when they are convenient. In terms of public health, the more sports facilities the person used, the more traditional diseases (such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure) could be addressed. So, the purpose of sport amenities is to create and maintain a healthy environment for individuals. However, the sports equipment could be stopped using or never used if the individual dislike public facilities or no knowledge of physical activities. On the other hand, I believe that local government should play a significant role in all areas, to manage public health planning for raising awareness of public actively. For instance, the local government should provide healthy lifestyle services by accessing to services and programs, by developing the facilities and infrastructure for sports, by organizing campaigns and events to enhance neighborhood amenity, protect the natural environment and consider impact on global ecosystems. If the local governments want to raise awareness of public awareness effectively, the role of those actions in protecting and promoting physical and mental health need to be recognized and incorporated into their local health plans. For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that more likely the action to be successful in public health if the government take an active role to promote.

    养狗必须做到责任。

    今天我的朋友来找我，向我抱怨最近让他特别烦的一件事情，事情是这样，他是组租房子的（他的房子是租的），这是一套四间的住宅（两房一厅的， how many bedrooms + how many living/dining rooms, for instance, 三房两厅= three bedrooms + one living room + one dining room ），就是一个房间一个人，有一个客厅，一个厨房，他住在那里已经两年多住，不久以前他的隔壁邻居（室友=housemate）买了一条狗，本来房东不允许养宠物，她怕会有狗味儿，拉屎味儿什么的，可是后来在他们的劝说下勉强答应了(答应了什么？)。


    养狗这是多么负责的一件事情，首先应该做的事就是教狗在对的地方大小便，可是他们没有教它，结果这狗随地拉屎拉尿，把整个房子弄得很脏，再加上臭味，我的朋友因此跟他们吵了几架，然后他们不让狗从房间出来，可是这个办法一点也不决绝解决问题，因为狗常常叫，让人烦死了。进去他们的房间到处又是狗屎又是便便的（狗屎就是便便，便便就是狗屎，选一个就好。或者你可以换成“他们的房间到处又是便便又是尿尿的），太不可思议了，可能有人会说这是他们的房间，谁也不应该管，可是问题不是那么简单，因为他们在房间穿的鞋子(You can just say " 室内拖鞋“ )，然后走出房间外面穿着这个鞋子在房间外面到处走来走去 ，都这是他们的共同地区，结果弄脏整个房子。


    房子他们轮着收拾的，即使今天刚好好收拾了，第二天就感觉当昨天没收拾过似的，而且太不卫生，毕竟他们不是自己组租的房子， 应该考虑别人的感受。我的朋友打算找房东帮忙解决这个问题，我也觉得他们应该把这条狗搬送到他们的家乡才好。

    IELTS speaking test - an unusual meal 1) Describe an unusual meal you had. ( a 2 mins presentation) Sharon, she is a bright, intelligent and confident girl. We just had a dinner at a Japanese restaurant at her hometown in Malaysia in the date of this New Year. She told us that she was eventually diagnosed as suffering from terminal lung cancer, and required hospital treatment. We was informed that her treatment effect was very positive, the medicine worked in her body. She also attended a cancer support group at her local hospital, everything sounded great. Unfortunately, she was admitted to the ICU for further treatment because her cancer has spread to her brain in early May, Despite attempted at resuscitation, she died a week later in hospital. I was unable to visit her at the last moment of her life. As I look back, the dinner seemed light-years away, and we never expected the dinner could be our last unusual dinner. 2) Do you think having dinner at home is a good idea? Yes. I do think so. In short, you can enjoy the home cooking health benefit all the time. Cooking your own meal can increase knowledge of food, it also can save money. 3) Do young people like to spend time with their families or friends? Most of young people prefer to spend their time with their friends, especially if they live in a big city. But for me, as a young person, prefer to spend time with my family during my holiday, because it is one of the best ways to create memorable experiences, this is especially true if you have to live alone in other city. 4) What do you think are the benefit of having dinner together? The dinner table can act as a unifier, a place of community. Sharing a meal is an excuse to catch up and talk our status. for instance, my family dinner builds our relationships, we can talk whatever we want to discuss with our family members, our chat can be about football, local news, television series. 5) Do you think people are less willing to cook meals by themselves these days, compared to past? After-school activities, late workdays, long commutes -- it's no wonder few families are willing to cook meals at home today. One of the simplest and most effective ways for parents to prepare a meal is by eating outside or getting a take-out food. Compare to past, you also have many choices for food if you would like to eat outside.

(2 mins) Singapore is one of my favorite cities I would like to work in coming future because of numerous work opportunities. As far as I known, many international companies set up their Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore, such as Facebook, google, Johnson and Johnson and so on. Those companies employed a goodly number of expert professionals in the field. You will get a great chance to work with them and deepen your knowledge of your work. Experience of any career in Asia Pacific headquarter is a big plus. Besides that, city development of Singapore is a mirror of modern city planning, especially the combination of Nature and Science and Technology. Singapore calls itself the Garden City, this city aims to be the world's greenest city. 'Supertrees' is one of Singapore's symbol and it efforts to promote green space. Moreover, Singapore is quite close to my hometown, it is only 3 hours away by air. That is why I think Singapore is a small country and city but still attractive for me to live there. Do you like to live alone or share a room with others? I prefer to live alone, because I would like to spend my time on reading and meditating on weekends. So I need my own space and little private time. What are the advantage and the disadvantage of living alone? Living alone can be challenging, but it can be more comforting than living with others as per the convenience. There are serval types of advantages in living alone, for instance, you can enjoy the silence. you can decide your own decoration on your space. Most of the people can enjoy being alone, but not all of the time, especially if you need some extra helps immediately. What are the advantage of working abroad? Working overseas has many advantages, including: Experiencing different cultures, enhancing your CV, learning a new language, building confidence, developing independence and personality, gaining new qualifications and improving professional skills What are the disadvantages of living in a foreign country? Moving aboard can be very unsetting, many things will be very different than your home country and you have to learn how things get down in your new country. What is more, you will be away from friends and family, although it is easier to keep in touch with friends and family. Above answers are prepared for my IELTS's spoken test. Thanks for your time to help me correct my grammar :)
