Sample Answer 1 ：

Well this special experience actually took place several years ago，it was a very nice sunny day, but it could be the most horrible nightmare to me.

By that I mean it was in that day, I accidentally put some hot water onto my MacBook. Hot water, can you believe it? Immediately my computer just went black. And no matter what I did, plugging it on or off, it just didn't respond.

Since it was actually a weekday, I couldn't just bail on my class and tried to fix it! So as a rookie, I had no choice but searching for tips on Zhihu, the Chinese version of quora, I typed in the key words[computer, hot water],guess what thousands of results just popped out！Some of which were actually oddly ridiculous like burying the laptop with rice, or kneeling down and praying for it. Not to mention the "Congratulations on the new laptop" part! I mean seriously?

Loads of my homework was in the computer! It would be absolutely the doom if I couldn't get things right as soon as possible.

Then I kept browsing，none of them was of great use or making any sense at all！I just couldn't help frowning and wondering why I had wasted almost one hour on reading this nonsense!

10 minutes later, I just made up my mind to ask for a leave in order to get things right in the genius bar！And it worked!

So here comes the lesson I learned: leave it to the professionals! Relying on the Internet, you would get yourself punked somehow!

Sample Answer 2 ：

Well, this exceptional experience actually happened 2 years ago in 2020, as you know back then the whole world was through this terrible breakout of coffee 19 this highly contagious and infectious disease.

As a result of the quarantine policy, it had been almost several months since we enjoyed the street food last time such as stinky tofu or barbecue or something like that. I would almost go nuts! Don't get me wrong，I would give unwavering support to the policy, but I miss the essence of street market！So I decided to search for the recipe on，Jianbingguozi, the Chinese version of pancake but with different sauce and better taste！

Thank God, the TikTok was so amazing! It took me no more than two seconds to find all the steps with details! And my favorite parts would be that you could even take advantage of potato chips to add the crispy texture!

What a genius idea!

Bit by bit, I followed every step on TikTok. When I served this dish on my dining table. At that moment, the living room was suddenly the culinary paradise of all time!

All in all, I really love this experience, to be honest, I even taped it and made a vlog. Although somehow, we could be strained or separated by disease, it is the internet, food, and love bind us together!

This is pretty hands-on, right? In addition. The tech-savy guys have even developed the interactive tools and programs with AI, what you have to do is just to say the pin word, and the AI assistant would quickly wake up and do the researching job for you, which is super user-friendly for the drivers or those whose hands are full.

Question:What information can people get from television?

解题思路:

这是一道事实类的题目，询问人们可以从电视上获取什么样的信息，我们可以从电视新闻的特点出发，例如通常电视上发布的信息都相对更加准确和经过求证，例如每日必看的天气预报和官方的信息发布等，除此之外我们也可以从信息的覆盖面方面来进行论证，例如电视通常进行24小时的滚动播放这样对于某些用户来说就能够提供更加广泛的信息。

Sample Answer:

Well, let me think, usually the information on television is professionally written and officially proved such as weather broadcast or launching rockets, etc. In most cases, on a national level, relatively more formal and reliable.

Besides, television provides 24-hour coverage and latest update of important events such as earthquake, tsunami or Isis attack, often including interviews with experts in real time. This requires professional involvement and expertise knowledge.

Question: Do you think libraries are still important in the digital age?

解题思路:

这是一道观点类的题目询问，图书馆在当今这个数字时代是否依然重要，考生首先要明确自己的态度是重要还是不重要，第二需要关注，对于重要性的描述，这里推荐考生从重要的立场作答，例如对于某个群体，的重要性以及能够带来的好习惯，好氛围等方面的论述。

Sample Answer:

Well, I would take the view that it still works significantly in this IT-oriented world. Let's take children under 15 as an example, they are at the stage of formulating good reading habits calmly and their eyesight are experiencing the developing process, so obviously sticking to a screen, reading an E-book bears the risk of getting nearsightedness or getting them easily distracted.

Also sitting in the library would give you the sense of dedication to study silently without any distraction that digital devices apparently have such as pop-out commercials or banners，from this perspective, Libraries still enjoys it necessity at present.

Question:Does the development of the internet have any impact on some disadvantaged people?

解题思路:

这是一道观点类的题目，询问网络的发展是否对弱势群体有所影响，考生可以从正面影响或负面影响以及正反都有的方面来进行作答，从正面来讲可能会带来很多便利，帮助他们学习和获取新的知识及技能，从坏的方面来讲某些网络搜索引擎或工具的设计并不那么人性化，对于弱势群体，并不那么友好，值得提醒的是，如果优缺点都要提及，需要关注两者之间转折的衔接方式。

Sample Answer:

Sure. Why not? Admittedly, the mode of operation system clearly couldn't cater for everyone's needs especially the one with poor hearing or eyesight. However, it does help grab attention of the public to the ones in need. The empty-nested old people, the left-behind children, even the parents whose children were unfortunately kidnapped or trafficked, the Internet and mass media makes it possible to expose their suffering and raise awareness, to some extent it would be helpful to them. It also noticeable and undeniable that disadvantaged group can investigate the world and society through the social media or online courses, therefore getting more chance to realize their own ambitions.
