5. Do you think practical skills such as communication skills and critical thinking are important for students' development in a long run? Why?
这个问题其实拓展了practical skills的外延，也继续考查考生对这个概念的理解。考生可以从不同的角度来回答交际技巧与理性思维的重要性，同时也可以使用多种修辞方法来增强自己的顺服力。
Candidate 1: I hold a firm stand that practical skills are crucial and indispensable for students' development in the long run. Without effective communication, people cannot share useful information with each other and making friends proves to be difficult. This certainly cannot help the students to develop into a well-balanced individual.
Moreover, critical thinking enables the students to identify truth from fallacy(谬误), which is significant in their future life. In a word, everyone should improve practical skills as much as one can.
Candidate 2: Yes, I think so. When we go to work in the society, we won't work alone. It will be efficient for us to work as a team. So the communication skills is indispensable(不可或缺的). And proper communication will mark the team more united. Critial thinking is necessary for us to be independent. It is impossible and impractical to follow the thoughts of others all the time and we ought to express our own mind in a proper way.
6. Why some elderly people get back to school for education?
现如今越来越多的从业者在工作一般时间后又重返校园，继续深造。象牙塔里的生活虽然单调，但却纯洁无暇、充满乐趣。或许也正是因为这个原因，许多已经参加工作的人又重返校园，重温那段恬静而安静的时光。回答好这个问题要求应答者有很好的总结能力。
Candidate 1: Recently, we can see a lot of elderly people in schools or college studying with us. They study hard, listen to the teacher very carefully and the expressions on their faces looks even happier than us. Yes, they are enjoying the school life and taking a rest there. Now our educational system has undertaken(承担) some revolutions to offer those people the chance to return to school. All in all, schools or college are no longer the places only for the young. They are heaven for all people who are thirsty for(渴望) education.
Candidate 2: Nowadays we find many people who have already had a job return to school for further education. That's interesting. But why? First, the development of economy and society poses(施加) pressure and challenges to people. If you want to catch up with the advancing society and get a good job, you must gain more knowledge and broaden your mind. Second, knowledge is constantly changing and updating. Comparing with young people who have just graduated and mastered the lastest knowledge, elderly people long to get back to school to study the updating knowledge and ideas so that they may win in the job competition.
Candidate 3: It's universally acknowledged(众所周知) that the world is changing fast before we get ready for it. What we learn now is probably going to be useless when we graduate form the college someday. In other words, what we are doing now is all in vain to some extent, to say nothing of(更别提) those who have left school for years. Knowledge is power. In order to follow up with(追赶上) the rapid progress of modern world, we young people should equip ourselves with updated knowledge. So it is with elderly people. That's why many of them go back to school for further study.
相对于Candidate 1的回答，Candidate 2的回答显然更现实了一些。列举出两点从业者重返校园的原因，观点明晰，语言流畅。
7. What's your understanding of the concept "life education"?
终身学习的理念可谓是学习的最高境界。答案可以涵盖答题人的学习心得和对生活的感情。
Candidate 1: According to my understanding, life education means learning throughout the whole life on one's own initiative(自出的). If a person is senstive enough, he or she will find that life's philosophy exists everywhere.Never stop absorbing nutrition from the seemingly common life. For adults, they'd better open their mind to receive updated knowledge, to keep pace with the era to get a further understanding of the world. Without studying, they cannot compete with the energetic and talented young generation.
Candidate 2: Life education is an inevitable trend(必然的趋势) nowadays. With the development of society, it requires us to be knowledgeable and command more skills. That is to say, if we don't keep learning, we will be less competitive and may be laid off someday. The importance of life education for adults lies in some aspects; at first, it makes a person more skillful and keeps the pace of society. Then they may have more chance of promotions because of their dillgence. Last but not least, they can set good examples for the next generation.
