1. Describe an important thing that you learn from your parents in your childhood. Explain why this thing is important to you. Include reasons and details in your response. Cooking is the important thing that I learn from my parents in my childhood. My parents are all chefs, so they began teaching me to cook when I was 10. I top all my s in cooking. I think it’s important because of the following two reasons. For one, I want to further my education in America. I am not that into western food. But I can cook Chinese food for myself in America; I could get through the hard days of studying in a foreign country. For another, despite of cooking for myself, I could cook for my new friends in America. In this way, I am quite sure I will be popular in American University. I know that Americans love authentic Chinese food. Thanks to my parents, I could easily throw a Chinese food party for my friends. ...

   The important thing that I learned from my parents in my childhood is to be a humorous guy. First, my parents told me that everybody liked to make friends with humorous guys. So I become a funny guy. I could always make others laugh and I could use humor to comfort my friends. For example, last Friday my best friend Jenny broke up with his boyfriend and she was very sad. I went by and comforted her, saying "no big deal. I am still here." she burst out laughing and I knew she was OK. She said afterwards that I am always a reliable friend to her.(rolled with laughter) Second, humor could release my pressure. For example, I failed in the last Toefl iBT, but I didn't give in. After making jokes about myself for a while, I pulled myself together. The most important thing I have learned from my parents is to be optimistic about everything. When I was 6, my parents' company was bankrupt. They suffered a huge loss on business and therefore we had a hard time in daily life. We even sold our houses and cars to pay the debts. However, they never gave up and they chose to face everything with optimism. They told me that right now they had nothing to lose and they just started all over. Their business gradually picked up because they learned the lesson from the bankruptcy. From my parents' experience, I learn that whatever difficulty you are facing, just smile and get down to work to crack it.

2.  Some people prefer to have a busy schedule with a lot of activity. Others prefer to have a lighter schedule with a lot of free time. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples in your explanation. If I really have a choice, I would definitely choose to have a lighter schedule. First, I would have more time to do things that I really want to do. For example, I could spend more time with my family. I could cook for my mom, or go fishing together with my father and I could watch movies with my girlfriend. Speaking of my girl, the reason that I broke up with my ex is that I worked too hard to take care of her. Second, a busy schedule is really bad for my health. Right now I suffer great pressure because I have a lot of work to do. I have to stay up late to finish the work. I worry about my health. A lighter schedule will keep me away from the pressure and health problem.
