Describe a traditional Chinese festival
 
Just like you have Christmas in western countries， we Chinese hold spring festival to celebrate our Chinese new year. It takes place on the first day of our lunar calendar， and the most exciting night is the Eve. On the Eve， there usually is a family re， and all families will be sitting around the same table in our grandpas'， feasting， toasting and chit-chatting. We will all be watching TV waiting for the coming of the New Year. At 12 sharp， we Chinese "guonian". "guo" in English means to drive away， and "nian" is the name of a horrible creature in our Chinese fairy tale that visits our land once a year destroying our homes devouring our crops. That's the main reason why we Chinese will let out fire works and crackers. Later on after that， we visit our friends and fellow workers， to send our best regards for the coming New Year. The old will seal money into red pockets making "lucky money" and hand out the kids to make their growing up one year older.
Describe a life change you would like to make to your job of study  
 
    No doubt about it， everyone of us may experience some changes in his or her life. It seems to me that the most unforgettable change happened 4 years ago. At that time， I just completed my senior high school and was admitted into a university far from my hometown. To be frank， my parents did not want me to study in other cities， coz I was the only child in my family. They worried whether I could live independently. They kept on persuading me to choose one close to my home. But I though I was cohered and just need some challenges. I told them that I was fully confident with myself. After many talks and even arguments， I really convinced them by my strong mind and selected a university far from my hometown.
