7、n interested in computers ever since I was a kid. Well, as I said, Ive always liked using computers, for schoolwork and for fun. Its also an expanding industry and I think Ill be able to get a good job and develop a worthwhile career in this field. I enjoy programming. Its so much fun at least for m
8、e! I think Im a creative person and I enjoy seeing a programme come to life on screen. I think that the most difficult thing for me is learning about the more technical side of computing how computers and their components actually work. Most of my classmates find it fairly easy, but not me. Like I s
9、aid, its an expanding industry and Im sure that an increasing number of computer experts will be needed in the future, doing everything from making sure that data systems work properly, through programming robots, to creating computer games. Television I watch very little TV perhaps between 4 and 5
10、hours a week. I spend much more time on computers. For example, I hardly ever watch TV news I get almost all my news from the Internet. I watch films on TV rather than on the Internet the picture quality is generally much better. I like horror films most of all, but I also like comedies. Some Americ
11、an comedies are very good. They often feature situations that happen in real life. My girlfriend likes them too, so we sometimes watch them together. I like them because you dont need to think to much they are very relaxing. Yes, I suppose it is. Most people seem to watch a couple of hours of TV eac
12、h day. However, there are many people who dont watch TV or watch it very little. They think that TV is a waste of time. Watching TV is certainly more popular nowadays than it was even 10 years ago. There are more channels and the programmes are much more varied and lively than they were. Not much. W
13、e talk much more about computer games and sports. My girlfriend talks about TV programmes sometimes, but as I havent seen or even heard of the programmes she talks about, I cant really have a conversation with her about them. The media Many people do, but I think that more people get the news from T
14、V and newspapers. They prefer TV because it offers pictures as well as spoken commentary and they like newspapers because they can take them anywhere and they offer more in-depth stories. People often listen to the radio at home maybe while doing housework or gardeningand taxi drivers almost always
15、listen to the radio whilst driving. They like to listen out for traffic reports. They mainly report on whats happening in politics, the .business world and sport. There are usually some stories about the weather, disasters and crime. I think that a lot of the stories are sensationalised, so I dont p
16、ay much attention to them. In newspapers, there are cartoons, competitions, reviews of products and advertisements. There are far too many advertisements, in my opinion. Theres rarely a page without at least one. The reviews of products are often not very informative. They seem to contain more opini
17、ons than facts. If I think about mobile phones, for example, most of the information is about the colours and shape of the phone than about the technical specifications that can tell you which model is really better. I do like the competitions, but I have never won anything. I pay attention to the n
18、ational news most. International news doesnt mean anything to me and it just seems to be about wars and politicians visiting other politicians boring! The local news is also boring, in my opinion. 2 【正确答案】 The city that I visited most recently was Sydney. Its on the coast of South-East Australia and
19、 is one of the biggest cities in that country. Its most famous for its opera house, which I went to on a tour. Nearby, there is a big bridge I cant remember the name. Its shaped like an arch. I went there last month to visit a friend. There are many theatres, galleries and other cultural things to d
20、o there, but I spent most of my time just walking around. In the evenings, I went out to a few of the bars with my friend. They were a little expensive, but I enjoyed the atmosphere and we met some interesting people. There are still some old buildings from the colonial era and I took some photograp
21、hs of them whenever I saw them on my walks. What makes the city special? Id say that the people. Most people are friendly and cheerful. They seem very, optimistic. They are also very out-going and so Sydney is quite lively in the evenings at least in the city centre. Im looking forward to going ther
22、e again someday. 3 【正确答案】 There are very large differences. Cities have more facilities, particularly health, education and entertainment. This means that most peopleespecially younger people find city life more fun and varied. Cities are very crowded, highly polluted and often suffer from traffic j
23、ams. The countryside has fewer people, cleaner air and much less traffic. I say that the countryside has cleaner air, but its not clean! Just better than in the cities. A lot of small industries have moved to rural areas. This is good in one way because it provides employment, but its bad for the en
24、vironment there. The air pollution isnt too bad, but the water pollution is sometimes horrific. A lot of people disagree with me, but I dont really see much of a difference. Most people, regardless of whether they live in rural or urban areas, seem to be quite materialistic. This tends to make them
25、a little selfish. A lot of people are introverted and not friendly to people they dont know. I dont mean that they are unfriendly just not friendly either. I think that peoples personalities have less to do with where they are from and more to do with other things. I would prefer to live in the coun
26、tryside, but I hope that the medical facilities are better there by the time I retire. The main thing about living in the countryside, as far as Im concerned, is that it is more peaceful and you can see natural scenery without having to travel for an hour by bus or by car. Of course, the cost of liv
27、ing is generally lower in the countryside too. I think there will be a lot of pressure on politicians to reduce pollution and solve traffic problems. We can already see this. I think that city life will become healthierthough not as healthy as in most rural areas. I think that there will be more ent
28、ertainment for people an even wider variety of things to do than there are now. Many people think that the problem of overcrowding will be reduced or solved, but I doubt it. I think that there will be many more tall buildings. So, I think that city life will generally get better, but that there will still be some problems.
