Critical thinking
1. A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in a
number of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.
2.Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and therefore more
choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.
3.I admire those who dropped out of university and yet have made fame for themselves by
achieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did。therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.
4.Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. And there
are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be “ignorant”. The result would be that ignorant people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try “ignorance”, the cost would be even higher
5.To sample widely and challenge my self, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and do
what I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. I wil attend unconventional lectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.

1.I felt somewhat sad when the time came for me to leave my parents for college because I had to
leave them for the first time in my life. I missed all the comforts they provide for me at home.
But in the meanwhile, I felt excited about my new experience of living on campus. For me, living on my own was an indication of independence and responsibilities. I was looking forward to this new and exciting leg of my life journey.
2.My parents expect me to try my best in all aspects. They said to me when I left home for college,
“Doing your best does not just mean you have to get straight A’s. it means you should work as hard as you can, develop and flourish socially, and enjoy life fully.”T hey have very high expectations of me because they believe in me. They know that I have the motivation and ability to achieve the goals I have set.
3..I like to be friends with people who have similar hobbies to mine. If we have similar hobbies, we
will have a lot to talk about with each other. I also like to make friends with outgoing people because I am very shy.
. I only make friends with people who are honest, polite and sincere. I don’t care whether we share similar hobbies or interests or not. As long as he/she is a nice person, I’ll be happy to be friends with him/her.
4.Actually, I think almost all courses can stimulate our intellectual capacity. To some people,
courses that require them to solve problems, such as math, physics, and enginerring, can enhance their intellectual capacity. But to other people their intellectual capacity can be developed more by courses like music, philosophy, or literature, because they have to use their brainpower to think and seek answers since there are no right or wrong answers to many questions in these fields.
Personally,
I think learning something new will definitely stimulate my intellectual capacity, so I’m going
to take some courses both in arts and science.
5.When I was a kid, my parents had to word away from home, so I had to stay with my relatives for
four years without my parents being around. As a result, I have learned to be very adaptable.
Now, I an study and live in different environments. Being able to adapt is thus one of my dots.

1.If I were the daughter, I would be very much touched when I read the article. I would call my
mom to say sorry for acting rebelliously and would tell her how much I love her. Probably I would return home as soon as I can.
2.I don’t think it is wise to refuse parents’advice or even do the opposite without a good
reason. Your parents care about you more than anybody else and always want to share their experience with you. If you follow their advice, you can at least learn from their experience and avoid making some silly mistakes if you don’t take their advice, you may still get experience-but in a hard way. Besides, your parents may directly point out our weaknesses that your peers wouldn’t. so, listening to your parents’advice can make you smarter and help you grow
mature.
3.Good communication will, in my view, help build a good relationship the following are my ways
to strengthen communication with my parents:
. visit them whenever possible。
. invite them to see what I am doing at college。
. teach them to use new communication tools, such as WeChat and Skype, so that they can communicate with me wherever I am。
. try to look at things from their perspectives。and
. share with them my feelings, problems or ambitions.
4.Although there is no standard pattern for a good parent-child relationship , some common
factors can contribute to a more successful relationship:
. respect each other。
. support and encourage each other。
. understand each other。
. have fun together。and
. be friends.
5.Yes, many parents are expecting to much of their children. First, most families have only one
child and parents want to make a perfect child out of them. Second, competition is intense in school and at work today. So parents want their children to learn as much as possible so as to gain advantages over others in competition. It’s not uncommon that some parents force their children to achieve what is even hard for adults. But they ignore the fact that winning is not the only important thing and that children should have their own enjoyment and preferences.
6.No, I don’t think parents today are expecting too much of their children. Competition is
becoming increasingly intense in school and at the workplace. So it is natural for parents to help their children to make full use of their talent and become as competitive as possible. They know better about how far their children can go. Besides, more and more parents, including my parents, think it is more important for their children to be healthy and happy. Of course, while they expect that their children study hard and achieve success, they should at the same time see to it that their children are not overworking themselves.

Parents may get disappointed when you fail to meet their expectations. They may strongly object to your lifestyle and complain that you are wasting time on unimportant things. To solve this problem, you may try to make them understand that you are a responsible person. First tell them that you have inherited many of their merits. Then remind them that you have your own thoughts and life goals as an individual. You can also explain how your lifestyle will help you in a positive way. You may not be able to change your parents’ opinion overnight, but if you keep trying, it well eventually work.
