Sample Answer 1：

The contest I would like to take part in will be a sport championship in our university. It's a game called League of Legend which is popular around the world. Basically, the competition takes place every year at our university, starting from March and the whole racing season is around three months. To take part in the championship, we need build a team of five members by ourselves, playing different positions in the game, namely Top Laner, Jungler, Mid Laner, Bot Laner, and Support.

Usually, group matches will be held in the small hall in our library and the final round will be in the stadium of our university. What is more exciting is that the contest will be on live so every game fan from our university can watch it. The one I really want to participate in will be the 2023 contest as I can have almost a whole year to find the right team members, to get trained and practice together.

Moving onto why I want to participate in it... first of all, it is because I' m really passionate about this game and taking part in this championship can be a good chance to show my talents in gaming. Also, what attracts me is the prize. For teams who can enter the finals, a $1000 prize will be awarded, and it can help me to pay part of my tuition fees. The last reason is that I believe the whole experience will be fun. I mean, it's a game that does not only count on a player's individual abilities but also requires the cooperation and creativity of a team. So I really look forward to working with my team mates, learning from each other.

Sample Answer 2：

I have taken participate in many different kinds of contests as I'm pretty good at painting and playing piano since I was a kid. However, there is this English speech contest I have been planning to take part in. The contest involves different formats, including a prepared speech presentation, followed by spontaneous speech on site, as well as a round of film dubbing. So I would say it's pretty challenging.

Basically, it's a nationwide contest, taking place in every city of China. Winners from different cities will go to Beijing for the finals. Usually, first rounds start every September in every university and the contest season can be quite long because of the high volume of competitor. The final round is normally in Januarys of coming years, right before Spring Festival.

Speaking of why I would like to take part in this specific contest...well, first of all, it's because I want to challenge myself. As an introverted person, I usually experience cold feet and stage fright when giving a speech. By preparing for this contest, I wish I could get braver more confident to talk in front of a crowd. Also, this could be a perfect opportunity to improve my English a bit. I mean, what I can enhance will be my pronunciation, coherence as well as using the proper words in different contexts, all of which are important in language proficiency. I believe, this kind of experience will also create some chances to make some friends, expanding my social network.

Part 3:

Question:What are the contests commonly seen on TV programs?

解题思路:

这个题目需要考生列举一些常见的比赛类节目，当然可以包括的例子很多比如体育竞技类，只是问答类，唱歌舞蹈类，达人秀等，只要有比赛成分的都可以说。但是要注意在回答这一类列举型的题目时，不要只是罗列节目的名字等，可以进行一下解释，或者说一下这些节目是否受欢迎，为什么受欢迎，有什么特点等。

Sample Answer:

Well, the most common one is some game shows, like Running Man, a TV show goes viral in China. It's a very entertaining and popular show and many celebrities take part in it. Also, in some local channels, some contestants compete for prizes and cash, including cars and vacations, in games that test their sport and movement ability. In addition, we can see an increasing number of reality competitions on TV now, especially some talent shows.

Those shows gain tons of audience as we can vote and support competitors whom we really admire.

Question:Why are competition shows popular?

解题思路:

这是一道原因分析题，我们需要列举一些观众们为什么喜欢看竞技·或者比赛累的节目。首先，就是现在几乎所有的这种节目，不管是选爱豆还是比赛都会有观众投票环节，这样会让观众更有参与感，一直支持他们喜欢的选手，从而会一直关注节目。其次，比赛都是有悬念的，也就是说，我们直到最后一刻才知道结果，所以这些节目会更吸引人们看直播。

Sample Answer:

First of all, the success of competition shows comes down to the audience participation. Some rely on viewers to choose who they want to become winners. Actively supporting contestants is required and the participatory nature makes the show must-see TV. What's more, there is always some suspension in those competition, meaning that we will never know who the game will until last minute. The urge of discovering the final result can engage us to go back to those shows.

Question:What kinds of industries need competition? Why?

解题思路:

这是一个观点列举题，那我们给出观点后，并解释其合理性，举出例子即可。就本题来说，其实任何行业都需要一定的竞争才能健康发展，比如和我们日常息息相关的产业，例如住房·建筑商之间如果有竞争的话，可能会提供更优质的服务和建筑质量等:反之，垄断能会带来溢价，行业内科技落后等问题·我们展开时可以将重要性，和可能存在的问题都列举出来，来更好的支持自己的观点。

Sample Answer:

Well, I would say industries related to our daily lives, especially when it involves products and service that might determine our life qualities. For example, there should be some competition among builders as accommodation and housing price are related to every single citizen's life. Without competition, one company might dominate the whole industry, which can induce problems like price premium, or lag in technology.

Question:Do you think it is necessary to encourage people to compete with others in companies?

解题思路:

我们在回答yes/no的问题时，观点的灵活度可以很高，也就是说我们可以单边论述，也可以说分不同情况讨论。再有一种就是让步，比如这个答案中，可以承认竞争的有效性，比如一些销售行业中，一定的竞争可以让员工更好的完成销售目标·但是指出其不合理处，比如长期竞争不如团队合作。长期竞争压力有可能会让离职率变高，因为大家压力太大·而团队精神则更有利于让员工感到公司的支持。

Sample Answer:

Well, I can only partially agree to this point. I admit that some competition can encourage people to get more motivated, sparing no efforts to hit the targets, such as sales assistants, brokers, or some financial advisers. However, I think teamwork can be more important in a company in a long term. Just imagine, if every employee is working under huge stress of competition, the turnover rate can be really high and companies may lose money for ongoing recruitment and new employee training. In contrast, teamwork will encourage us to share and help our peers, making employees feel more supported.
