1. Someone holds the belief that man can conquer nature, while others argue that forces of nature are irresistible(不可抵抗的). Give a debate where you should list instances for both cases.
A：Tingting, someone holds the belief that man can conquer nature, what is your opinion?
B: en… In my opinion, nature can give us many things and human being can change the world by our intelligence and wisdom. Human researched the secret of the nature and learned many knowledge. For example, they could build a house to prevent the cold and bad weather, and they invented spacecrafts in order to explore more secrets.
A: Oh, yes. So you mean you agree that man can conquer nature.
B: Yes, what about you?
A: In fact, I stand on a different ground. I think forces of nature are irresistible.
B: Why?
A: Because nature is a kind of the invisible power. Although people can change the world, they can’t resist forces of nature. As you know, people suffer the harm of earthquake all over the world. People can predict disasters sometimes but they don’t have the power to stop them.
B:Yes, you are right. Everything have two sides. We human must protect nature.
A: I couldn’t agree more.
2. Today cars are causing serious problems, such as air pollution, shortage of parking space, traffic jam. To deal with these problems, what is your version of cars in the future?
A: As you see, there are more and more variety of cars on the road.
B: Yes, and with the development of science and technology ,cars are becoming smarter and smarter.
A: As to smart cars, what do you expect future smart cars can do?
B: In my view, the key to tomorrow’s smart cars will be sensors.
A: You got it. You see, many accidents come from drunk drivers. I hope the smart cars can sense if a driver is drunk via electronic sensors that can pick up alcohol vapor in the air, and refuse to start up the engine.
B: Good idea, and it will be better if the car could alert the police and provide its precise location if it is stolen. What’s more ,it’s frustrating that cars are always getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. So I think smart cars could warn drivers of traffic jams.
A: Oh yes, it has come true in some developed countries, as far as I’m concerned, a smart car should be an environment-friendly one, saving fuel, reducing traffic jams, decreasing air pollution, and serving as an alternative to highway expansion.
B: I can’t agree anymore, environment is the most important.
A: Umm, I believe smart cars in the future can make our lives more convenient and comfortable.

looking at its cover”? Cite examples where your first impression is wrong.
Wtt : Hello, tangtang. Have you ever heard the saying,” You can’t judge a book by looking at its cover”?
Tw: Yes. I learn it from my test book.
Wtt: How do you understand this saying? Can you cite an example where your first impression is wrong?
Tw: Let me see…My English teacher in senior high school seems to be a serious person and when we were in his first class, we felt nervous and listened to him carefully. Days later, I met him in his office seeing him talking something and then they two all laughed.
Wtt: Yeah, some people do not look kind but in fact they are really kind people. I have a friend whom I first met in my English class and my first impression on him was not good. I thought he is a bad-tempered person somehow, but after we worked together once, I changed my idea. He is really a nice person and he is good-tempered and enthusiastic. Actually, he has a good relationship with almost everyone.
Tw: Yeah, maybe we shouldn’t judge someone by appearance.
Wtt: Yes, only after we get on with him/her for some time can we learn a person well.
Tw: Yes,I couldn’t agree you more.
