3.is it easy to become beautiful

我觉得变美并不简单，虽然现在有整容的技术，但是整容非常昂贵，大部分人不能负担那个费用，并且整容依然存在一定的危险性，另外，可以通过化妆来变美，但是我觉得化妆并不简单，我花了好多时间学习化妆但是还是化得不好

Well, i think it’s kind of difficult to become beautiful, now we have face-lifting but it is very expensive, most people can’t afford the cost, and also, it is a little bit dangerous to have a facelift, and woman can makeup, but i think makeup is not easy, i spend much time to learn makeup, but i still poor at it

Well , managers can surely make friends with their subordinates, i think any two people can be friends if they have similar personality, it is not about identity or gender or age, it is only about personality

12.do you think smart people tend to be selfish

我不这么觉得，聪明的人可能自私，不聪明的人也可能自私，一个人是否自私和他的性格以及成长环境有关系，一个人是否聪明和他的智商以及教育程度有关系,所以聪明和自私两者之间没有直接的关系

No , i don’t think so , generally , there is a huge generation gap between old people and young people, so their interests are totally different, for example, old people like some relaxed sports but young people prefer some exciting sports, and most old people like to watch Beijing opera, but young people prefer to watch movies.

并不简单，虽然中国有很多的公司和职位，但是实际上中国的求职者太多了，几乎每一个岗位都有很多的竞争者，比如，在我应聘我现在的职位的时候，有20个竞争者，最后我非常不容易才得到这份工作，一些其他的工作，可能竞争更加激烈

Honestly, it is quite difficult, there are many companies and positions in china, but actually there are more candidates, almost every position have many competitors, for example, before i admitted my job, i have about twenty competitors for this job, and finally i got this job quite difficultly, so the competition is very fierce

25.do you think it is beneficial to provide training for employees

我觉得很必要，因为员工工作之后，他们没有足够的时间和精力去学习新的东西，下班之后他们需要休息，也需要陪伴家人，所以如果公司能够提供一些培训，这对员工的发展很有好处

我觉得同一时间学习一个课程会比较好，因为你可以更加专注，可以把所有的时间和精力聚集在这一个课程上，效率会更高

2.差异对比

1.whats the difference between the history taught in primary school and the history taught in high school

在我看来，小学的历史比较简单，通常是一个历史故事，这样的话学生比较容易理解也比较容易记住，高中的历史是比较复杂的，一般包括了国家的历史也包括了外国的历史，并且会详细描述所有的历史进程

In my opinion, in primary school, history is kind of easy, generally there are only some stories, in this case, it is easier for primary students to understand and remember. But in high school, the history is much more difficult, not only include national history, and also foreign history, moreover, it will describe all the historical courses in detail

2.what are the differences between old facilities and new facilities

通常来说，新的设备用了一些新的技术，性能也会更好，老的设备可能会出现一些问题

Generally speaking, new facilities may use some new technologies and they are more stable and reliable and they will have a better performance, old facilities may cause some problems

3.what are the differences between facilities in the countryside and ones in the cities

城市里的设备可能会更频繁的更新，因为使用的人更多所以更加容易破旧，另外城市的技术发展很快，所以需要经常更新设备

4.what are the difference between living in the city and living in the countryside

我觉得各个方面都有很大的不同，比如城市交通更加便利，城市设施更加先进也更加完善，城市会有更多的就业机会，同时城市的污染也更加严重，另一方面，农村的环境会更好，生活压力不大

I think there are big difference in all the aspects, for example, the city’s transportation is more convenient and city’s facilities are more advanced, and there are more job opportunities in the city. Meanwhile, the pollution is stricter in the city. On the other hand, the environment in the rural areas will be better , and we have less pressure if we live in countryside.

5.can you compare the past and the present of the city

6.Can you compare the past and the present of children’s life

不得不说孩子的生活改变了很多，在我童年的时候，没有电脑也没有智能手机，我会和一些朋友一起去钓鱼，放风筝，我们几乎不在家里玩，但是现在大部分孩子都在家里玩游戏或者上网

I have to say that children’s life have been changed a lot, in my childhood, there is no computer or smart phone, i always go fishing or fly kites or something like that with little friends, we barely stay at home. But nowadays, most children just play computer games or surf the internet in the home.

7.what’s the difference between the things people did in their free time in the past and the things they do nowadays?

我觉得区别不是很大，人们依然把大部分的时间用在娱乐活动上，比如看电影，唱歌，旅游，但是现在中国人的消费水平变高了，所以我们现在一般会去服务比较好的地方，旅游也会考虑去国外

Well, i don’t think there is a big difference, people still spend most of the free time to have fun ,such as watching movie, singing karaoke, traveling, but nowadays, Chinese have a higher consumption level, so we usually choose somewhere can offer a better service, and now most of us can afford a oversea travel

3.原因

1.why do some people have no interest in history

我觉得这是可以理解的，首先，历史是比较复杂的，包含了非常多的历史事件和历史人物，第二，历史给人一种看不见的感觉，与自身的联系不是特别紧密，所以很多人不喜欢历史

I think it’s reasonable , firstly, history is quite complicated, it includes so many different historical events and historical figures. Secondly, history is invisible,  people won’t feel a strong relationship, so many people are not interested in history

2.why do some people like to collect things

收集其实是一件很有趣的事情，大多数人都有收集的爱好，有些人会收集邮票,火车票，机票，有些人收集鞋子，包包，手表，甚至有人收集跑车，飞机,每一次收集到一个东西都会给人很大的成就感和满足感

Actually collecting is a very interesting thing, almost everyone have a interest to collect some thing, somebody collect stamps, air tickets, railways tickets, somebody collect shoes, handbags, watches, and even some people will collect sports cars or airplanes, every time you get a stuff which you are collecting, it will give you a strong sense of achievement and satisfaction

3.why do people lie sometimes

我觉得世界上不存在没有撒过谎的人，每个人都撒谎过，其实大多数情况下你不是为了伤害别人，而是为了保护自己，大多数时候是为了保护自己的自尊心

I think in our world, there is no one who never lied, everybody has lied, actually in most cases, we lie but not in order to hurt others, we just want to protect ourselves , protect our pride

4.why are some children more intelligent than others

客观上来说，每个人的天赋都不同，这是取决于基因的，有些人天生就擅长运动，有的人天生擅长数学，但是后天的成长环境也会对孩子产生非常大的影响

Objectively, everyone has different talents, i think it depends on genes, some children are naturally good at sports,  and some children are good at math or language, and also, the growth environment will have a huge influence on the children

5.why do some people remain silent when they receive bad service

其实像很多人一样，我就是这样的人，我是一个耐心地，宽容地人，大多数情况下我会原谅他们，我不愿意花费很多的时间和精力去和别人争吵

Actually, like these people , i am this kind of person, i am kind of patient,and tolerant, in most cases, i will forgive the person who provide bad service, i am unwilling to spend much time and effort to argue with others.

6.why do some people grow their own food these days

4.问题解决类

1.how do you learn history

其实，学历史没有那么困难，学历史就像看一本小说一样，把历史看成一个个小故事，然后把故事的时间和故事中的角色记住就好了

Actually , learning history is not so difficult to me, it is just like reading a novel, you can just regard the history as one story and another story, and then just remember the time of the story and remember every single character in this story.

2.how can we protect old buildings

首先要在老建筑的旁边建立保护区域，不要让建筑遭到破坏，其次要尽可能地修复老建筑，但是这存在风险，因为在修缮地同时，可能造成破坏

This is a difficult problem, first of all, we should establish a protection area around the old building, and then we have to repair the old buildings, But actually there is a risk that when we try to repair them, it may cause some damages.

3.how do you deal with items you don’t use anymore

以前，我非常不舍得扔掉这些东西比如衣服，鞋子，包包，后来东西越来越多导致占用了我非常多地空间，所以我只能把一些东西扔掉，我发现其实扔掉东西会给人一种满足感，所以现在我经常地整理我地房间，把一些没用地东西扔掉

In the past, i am unwilling to throw my stuff away like some clothes , shoes and handbags, but more and more stuff are taking so much space from me, so i have to throw them away, and then i just find out that it will give me a sense of satisfaction, so today i often clear up my bedroom and i will throw away something useless without hesitate.

4.how should schools teach students to live healthily

我觉得学校应该多组织一些活动比如集体旅游以及比赛，现在中国的学校给学生巨大的学习压力，学生根本没有时间去做自己想做的事情

I think schools should organize more activities like travel or competition, nowadays, Chinese schools are putting huge pressure to students to study, so actually students do not have any time to do what they want to do.

5.how can people be motivated to learn new things

俗话说的好，兴趣是最好的老师，学习新的东西需要培养兴趣，如果没有兴趣，任何的奖励都不能成为一个好的动力，所以想要学习一个新的东西，要培养兴趣

There is a old saying that “interest is the best teacher”, so i think it is important to cultivate interests to learn new things, without interests, any reward will not become a good motivation
