Recycle is somehow similar to reuse, because they both had to do with using materials over and over again, the only difference is that you send recyclable materials to the recycling center so it can be remade into new materials. Did you know that your newspaper that you read everyday is made from recycled paper?
Jack: Cool!

B: Hmm, it seems kind of difficult for us graduates without working experience to find a job
A: YEAH, many companies don't like spending time developing green hands.
B: I don't think it is the only reason, you see, there are so many college graduates from all the provinces every year, the competition is really fierce
A：There are for sure job offers ,but many of us don't want to do the jobs with low salary but heavy work.
B: you got reason, I have expressed to the HR（ human resource ）of many companies that I don't care too much about salary and work load, I don't understand why i failed in the interview
A: My opinion is that maybe, you’ve been too nervous and not confident enough during the interview .Or maybe we have to improve our professional skill
B: Certainly, a man versatile is generally appreciated
11.成功
A: I’m a reporter from XX Daily, as you know, the job market is getting tougher and tougher now, but you have got a good position in Microsoft China when facing a lost of competitors with several years working experience. How do you think an interview’s importance?
B: Sure. As a well-known fact, the \"job for life\" is gone - the world is changing so fast, which results in the job market getting increasingly competitive. Most people will need to change jobs at least every few years or so. So you can't get hired without shining at the interview. And as well, your earnings will be dictated by how well you perform!

A: Right, I can’t agree with you more. But you know, a lot of job-seeker who can’t make it finally even they think they’ve performed well in an interview, do you think what the root cause is?
B: Interview success does not just about know the questions. It's also about what is behind the question. For example, what do you think they are getting at when they say: \"Tell me about a typical week?\" Are they just interested in what you do, or is there something else behind the question? Surely they want to know something about you characters. You should convince them that you’re a responsible person instead of your carelessness.
A: Terrific, that’s exactly true. Thank you very much for your kindness to share your valuable experience in job-seeking. But for the sake of our interview time, I’d have to give it to and end now.

A: But this course is so difficult that I really don’t understand it at all.
B: We could study together. Maybe some of my organized study habits can help you.
A: Better yet, maybe you could write a term paper for me.
B: Forget it! That would be cheating.
A: All right, all right. I have yet to write it myself. Maybe I can downlaod some articles from the Internet and piece them together.
B: You can borrow ideas from those articles, but if you quote without giving the sources, you’re plagiarizing.
A: Also, the test next week will be a headache. If you don’t help me, I’ll have to prepare a cheat-sheet and hide it in my hand during the test.
B: Oh, no! If you’re caught, the professor will definitely give you an F.

14.Topic 3 Job Hunting
A: B, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?

B: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?
A: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.
B: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.
A: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.
B: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.
A: Great, I’ll try my luck there.
B: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.
A: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by e-mail.

B：Any time, A.
15.Topic 4: Education
A: Children nowadays are really having a hard time.
B: How do you come to that?
A: Well, because they are being forced to learned English in the very early age!
B: I can't see any thing wrong with that?
A: But they have to learn our language too...at the same time!
B: Time has changed, English is now the most important international language in the world.....
A: Yes, I have no objection to that, but..
B: That is only for their own good. It would give them a good foundation with their English learning....
A:But apart from have to learn English very early, they have to learn our own language too! That's double pressure!
B: It's necessary, in order to have a good future, they need to learn English early.
A: I think learning our own language first is far more important.
B: You can't be more wrong, learning other language is better start at younger age. When the brain is still empty with plenty of space to store new information!
A: I do not agree. I think we are pushing our children too hard. We are giving
them too much work and too much pressure at such a young age.
B: You are wrong about that too. Learning English is just another subject in their school work. Most children only find learning English fun.
A: That's your opinion, you are not children anymore, how do you know?
B: You are not children either and how do you know they don't like it?
A: That's common sense. How do you feel if you have been given double amount of homework, and have very little time to play when you were very young?
B: I do not think learning English would take too much or any extra time for the children. They spend the same amount of time in school as before.
A: What about after school? They have to revise two sets of languages compare with only one before, right?
B: As I have put earlier, that's just another subject for them. The amount of homework would be still reasonable and bearable for all the children.
A: Oh, I don't think we will ever come to any conclusion of compromise. Let's stop our argument right here.
B: Yes, before it harms our friendship. If we can't convince each other then betterjust leave the matter alone. So, still friends?
A: Yes, we are still friends, let's forget about what have been argued about!
B: Right.
16.Topic 5 Envirovmental Problems

B: Today……I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem because it will make our earth become warmer and warmer; and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.
A: How do you learn about environmental problems?
B: Umm… through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff like that.
A: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school?
B: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on. And also to prevent more problems from occurring.
A: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be?
B: A new law for the environment? Umm…. I ’d probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it’s just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.
A: That’s a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?
B: I’m so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.

B: Oh, calm down. Wish you a good time sincerely.
A: Thank you. The same with you .

B: Wow, It sounds really interesting. But a little far from here. I just plan to travel in Beijing.
A: But you know, it’s quite easy to have a traffic jam in Beijing. Especially in this season, there will be lots of people from all over the world traveling here.
B: Yes, you are right. There are so many cars, buses and people here every day. So I have been taking it into consideration. I’m hesitating. And how are you getting Xi’an, by train or by airplane?
A: I prefer to go there by train. It’s cheaper than airplane, and I like to see the land scene from the window of train. It may cost 12 hours, but if you can go with me, the trip will be full of fun.
B: I think so. I also like traveling by train. It’s not very safe by plane. And we have enough time to travel, there is no need for hurrying. I would like to go with you.
A: That’s wonderful. Let’s meet this Saturday to discuss the trip plan. Is it OK?
B: OK. I am available then. See you, Belly.
A: OK. See you later.
19.Education and Environment
A: Hello, Belly. Yesterday I took apart in a report meeting concerning environment pollution. Is the environment a big issue in your country? In my country, it is.
B: It is in mine, too. The biggest problem of all is water pollution. The climate is dry, so water conservation is very important.
A: What measures do you take to protect water?
B: In my country, water supplies are limited. We can only use a certain amount of water every day. It means we cannot use some modern household items, such as washing machines. They need too much water to wash clothes.
A: I see. But in my country the biggest environment problem is air pollution. We try many ways to solve this problem, but it didn’t work. Now the government educate people to realize the importance of protecting environment.
B: That’s a good idea. This can solve the problem from the root.
A: Yeah, you know, we have already attempted many ways. For example, we have been reducing emission of air pollutants in recent years, but cars are still a major reason for it.
B: This is a global problem, I don’t believe that any single country can do anything about it.
A: I think you’re right. Every country must take more concrete measures.
B: Just as you say, the first thing we should do to protect environment is that let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education.
A: Yeah, education is the fundamental of our country. It enables us to understand our duties as a citizen and encourages us to follow them.
B: Yes, we have a lot of measures to protect environment, but if citizens don’t follow it, it doesn’t work.
A: So the first thing we should do is improving population quality.
B: Good. If everyone realized the importance of protecting environment, I believe we are not far from the success.
A: And the air will be fresh, the water will be clean. Everything will be OK.
B: Wow, what a beautiful world!
20.Health Jobs Sports
A：Hi, Belly. What are you going to do?
B：Oh, Maria. I am going to play badminton in the playground.
A：But you look tired. Are you OK?
B：Don’t mention it. Recently, I find it difficult to interview an appropriate job for me. I feel that I miss the right direction. And I don’t know what I can do now.
A: As far as I know it’s a big problem for college students to seek a job from 2008. There are so many jobhunters, but positions are limited.
B: It’s really like this. And all of us are puzzled about jobs. It’s a big trouble. I’m very depressed.
A：By the way, did you listen to the report concerned mental health by Professor Jiang yesterday?
B：Not yet. What did he say?
A：Well, the report is astonished. More and more people are faced with depression these years, especially among college students. As you know, depression is also called mental disease.
B：I have heard that. In my opinion, depression may be triggered by severe stress. In fact, we earn a master’s degree, but we can’t realize our value as we imagine.
A：It’s real. We can’t afford a house in a big city. We are faced with great life pressure. Also, we are reluctant to communicate with other people. So, it turns out that we are easy to feel depressed. That is really horrible.
B：Yeah, so I just do some sports to relax myself.
A：You are right. It is necessary for us to do some sports to distract our attention, such as: play basketball or badminton. Doing sports not only relaxes our mental stress, but also benefits our physical health.
B：Yes, thank you. I am a little relaxed now. And I am going to the playground.
A：OK. Wish you, Belly. Bye
B：Goodbye.

A：Yes. I really witness him on the stage. I couldn’t imagine that before. Now I am very very excited . I also heard my favorite song “ Listen to Mother’s Words” .
B：Yes, he is a well-known figure in the entertainment circle. But I enjoy foreign songs more than Chinese songs. I like the rhythm of Western songs. Such as Jazz, Hip-Hop, Rock and so on.
A：That is the difference between Chinese culture and Western culture.
Because of different life backgrounds and customs, Chinese singers and foreign singers will create various styles. Of course, these songs represent their unique culture characteristic.
B：Yes, it’s true. I like Justin Bieber. Although he is very young, he has been under the spotlight. He is the example of overnight success.
A：I sometimes listen to his songs in my spare time. I can feel that he is full of vigor and also he is self-confident.
B：Yeah, as we all know, in America, all people are allowed to bars or clubs including teenagers. So they contact different adult cultures at their early age. These experiences have a deep effect on their life development.
A: Well, in my opinion, foreign singers are really more passionate.
B: Of course. And I expect to see a concert of foreign singers. I believe that will be more interesting.
A: It sounds wonderful. Maybe I can go with you at that time.
B: OK. That’s great.
