I wake up every morning at about six o'clock or six thirty. I do that automatically. The first thing I do is to turn on the radio to listen to the news and see what's happened. And then I look to see what time it is. Then I get up and make coffee, and once I have my coffee I go back upstairs and I turn on my computer and I start writing in my journal while I am drinking my coffee. And after I do that I pay my bills and take care of what other whatever household things I have to do, like I might sweep the floor or just clean up a little bit. Then I take a shower and get dressed. Then after I do that I go back downstairs and I cook something to bring for lunch. And sometimes I just bring leftovers from the night before. But sometimes Ill make rice and vegetables. And then I get in my car and drive about ten minutes or so to work. I work at a small publishing company outside of Princeton.

The first thing I do when I get to work is to check my e-mail. And I read my letters and then I answer them. And then I start doing like I look at my daily schedule and see what needs to be done. First if anything's an emergency. And then after a couple hours I go to lunch. I either eat lunch or I go and run errands on my lunch break like I might go to the health food store and pick up stuff that I need. And then after that I come back and work for another couple of hours. And then I leave work about five thirty, drive back home, get home, watch the Simpson and Seinfeld. And after that, sometimes I meet a friend for a drink or something, beer, coffee or whatever, or walk around. But after that I usually just read for a while and then I go back upstairs and go to bed.

I would rather break up with someone because I like to be in control of things, so if someone breaks up with me, I wouldn't be in control of things, so that would change the status quote, and yeah, I would like break up with that person instead of that person breaking up with me.

Lia, Indonesia

I would rather have someone to break up with me because I know that if they break up with me, I can handle it quite good I guess, but if I break up with them, I just don't want to hurt their feelings.

I think I would prefer to break up with someone because if somebody breaks up with you, you just feel horrible. You feel like you're worth nothing, and you're completely alone in the world, so I would prefer to take the initiative by myself and Christophe, not feel so bad about it.

Katia, Mexico

I would rather have somebody else to break up with me, but then of course, the situation, if it's different, and I have to do that step, then I'm willing to do that.

I would rather have someone break up with me than break up with someone else because after you break up, people are always asking you, why? what happened? And if you can blame it on someone else, rather than making it look like you Tom, U.K. were the bad guy, it's so much easier. Ooh, that's a tough question. I think either way. If you break up with someone or they break up with you, it's not a pleasant experience, so I can't answer that. I'd rather not break up with anyone at all. Jess, U.K.

Listening

Do people have right to smoke in public? My father used to smoke. He got very ill. The doctor told him that he had to quit smoking. My father tried for a long time to quit. It was very difficult for him. Smoking is an addiction. After many months, my father finally gave up smoking, but he still craved a cigarette once in a while. He says that quitting smoking is the hardest thing that he has ever done. When my father did smoke, he smoked everywhere. He smoked in restaurants, stores and many public buildings. Now, you are not allowed to smoke in a lot of public places. When my father smoked, the rules were not so strict. People could smoke just about anywhere. It really wasn't fair to the people who didn't smoke. Their clothes always smelled like smoke, and they breathed in second-hand smoke. Some people think that second-hand smoke is actually worse for you than if you smoke yourself. People would smoke in their houses, and very young children would inhale the smoke that was in the air. Some people still smoke in their houses, and their children breathe in the smoke. Some restaurants have areas for smokers and nonsmokers, but usually the smoke drifts from one area to the other. There are some businesses that have banned smoking altogether.

Personally, I think that smoking in public places should be completely banned. I don't think that I should have to breathe in another person's smoke if I choose not to smoke myself. It wouldn't be fair for a nonsmoker to get lung cancer because they had to be in a place where smokers were allowed to light up. I know that smoking is a powerful addiction and that it is very difficult to quit, but smokers should restrict their smoking to places where there is nobody else around. Lung cancer is an awful disease. Nobody should have to suffer with lung cancer. People should be educated about the dangers of smoking. Smoking should be banned in public places, but eventually I would like to believe that fewer people will smoke. It would be nice to live in a smoke free environment.

Let me tell you a little bit about my schedule while I studied in college. I would usually get up pretty late, probably about eight o'clock. The first thing I would do is quickly pray, then I would go to the bathroom, wash my face and try to finish waking up. After that I would go to the kitchen and eat breakfast. Id usually eat something small, like a bagel, maybe a little sandwich or toast, sometimes cereal. After that I would go back to the bedroom and get dressed. I usually wore jeans and a T-shirt and tennis shoes. After that, I would go back to the bathroom, brush my teeth, comb my hair. Sometimes I would put on make-up, but usually not. Then I would put all my books in my backpack and head out of the door and go to class. I usually had class from about nine until twelve. Then after that I would eat lunch. Usually I would come back to my room and eat or sometimes I would go to the cafeteria. After that I usually had a lab. I studied chemistry. So I would go to the chemistry lab for three hours every afternoon.

When my chemistry lab finished at about four thirty, then I went to the gym to exercise. I exercised for about two hours. After that I would go back to my room, take a shower, get cleaned up and head to the cafeteria to eat dinner. After dinner, I would return to my room, study for a couple of hours, probably from three to whatever, depending on how much work I had. Then I would brush my teeth, get into my pajamas and get ready for bed again.

Describe a village you know well I was born and have grown up in the country in a small village beside a beautiful river. My village is surrounded in a hedge of green bamboos. Most of the houses in the village are built of brick and have red tiled roofs. In the middle of the village there is an old pagoda with high trees around it. On the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, the villagers often go to the pagoda to give offerings to The God of Agriculture. On the right of the village flows quietly a clear and blue river. When I was young, I used to swim in the river with my friends. How can I forget the wonderful time on this river fishing or rowing a boat with my boyhood friends! On the left of the village lies the village green where village meetings are often held by village officials. On this ground covered with soft grass we used to fly kites on windy autumnal evenings. The majority of villages live on agriculture. They get rich thanks to their fertile rice-fields and their diligence. Harvest time is certainly the busiest and the merriest time of the year. During the harvest, the villagers often get up very early in the morning. They cheerfully go to their ricefields to harvest the bumper crop the fruit of many months of hard work. My villagers are very friendly and helpful. They are willing to offer mutual help in any case and always get on with one another harmoniously. My village is rather small indeed but I like it very much because I was born and have grown up there and spent my happiest childhood among the simple and hard-working villagers who always feel attached to their native land. Describe a visit you have made to a factory Describe a visit you have made to a factory and show what benefits you have derived from the visit. Last week, under our form-teachers guidance we visited the Bicycle Factory. On our arrival at the factory, we were warmly greeted by the director who gave us some

information about the factory. It is a long, low building with different workshops. There are 500 workers in the factory. Many of them live in the factory grounds but many others live in the nearby towns or villages and go to work by bus everyday. When we entered the first workshop, the workers, in their overalls, were cutting steel tubes with hacksaws. It was very noisy here but the workers had got used to the noise. The newly-cut steel tubes were brought to the next workshop where they were joined together into frames by soldering irons. Flashes of red and blue light sent out from soldering irons dazzled our eyes. The workers were absorbed in their work. Drops of sweat were rolling on their cheeks and their overalls were soaked with sweat. We went to the next workshop. The newly joined frames were brought there to be polished before they were painted. The final process of production was to assemble accessories together before the bicycles were put on the market. The visit of the Bicycle Factory gave us a precious lesson: the existence of a society depends largely on the working class. The workers themselves create properly and material comforts for society with the sweat of their brow. And on impulse, we thought: If our government hadnt imported such a large number of motorbikes and if all people had used bicycles as their means of transport, the environment wouldnt have been so seriously polluted.

Describe the house you are living in. Why do you love it?
The house we are living in is situated in the suburb of HCM city, within thirty minutes drive off the central city. We have lived there for more than twenty years. This is a fairly large house surrounded with a luxuriant garden.

My house consists of four bed-rooms, a living-room, a bathroom with a shower, a dinning-room, a kitchen and a toilet. It is air-conditioned and well-furnished. The living-room is decorated beautifully. Paintings by famous artists are hung on the walls. At night, the color neon lights increase the beauty and coziness of the room. There, on Sundays and holidays my father usually spends his time playing chess or drinking tea with his friends. My mother and my two sisters are diligent and hard-working women. They often keep the house clean and tidy.

On suffocating days of summer, we usually take meals in the garden. It is fairly cool and quiet here. We enjoy our meals amid the melodious twitters of birds. On stormy and rainy nights all

whole family members gather in the living-room, watching television or telling each other about their daily activities.

I love my house very much because it is the place where I was born and have grown up in the education of my father and in the tender loving care of my mother. I have spent my whole childhood in the love and affection of my dear ones with so many sweet memories.

Fruits I like to eat

I like to eat fruits. They are sweet, juicy and rich in vitamin C. I believe in the saying, An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Therefore, I always have a slice of fruit after every meal. I love to eat honey-dew melon. As the name suggests, the fruit tastes honey sweet. It comes in two types; the green melon and the orange melon. Both taste just as good but usually only the former is used or making dessert. I cant help but long for a bowl of icy cold honey-dew sago on a hot day. I also like eating papaya. My mother says it helps digestion because it is a natural mild laxative. I love to drink papaya milk too. It is easy to prepare and it tastes so good when it is chilled. Each time my uncle visits us, he will bring us lots of papayas and other fruits form his orchard. Mango is also one of my favorite fruits. It has a very sweet smell. Mangoes can be made into very tasty mango puddings or cakes. However, too much mango can cause constipation. These fruits that I like can be bought from fruit stalls in wet-markets or at the supermarkets. Luckily, they do not cost as much as fruits like durians or strawberries.

Water is important to all living things

Water is important to all living things. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your opinion

Without water no living thing on the earth could survive. We need water to quench our thirst, water our lands to grow crops or to keep the animals and fowls in our homes alive. Even the plants and insects in all parts of the world need water to live.

We also need water to produce electricity and to carry out goods or trade. Electricity is very important for our comforts today. Almost everything that we use in our homes today depends on the use of electricity. In the same way, water also helps to transport many or the goods that we need for our homes. Ships, rafts and boats carry many things from distant lands and help to exchange goods between one country and another. Transport by water is easier and cheaper than by air or land.

But water has also caused sorrow and hardship in all parts of the world. Floods and heavy rains have destroyed crops, lives and property through the centuries and caused much sorrow everywhere.

Yet, water is so important that all living things, including the tiniest creatures, will continue to struggle to get it whenever or wherever they can.
