A:%20Have%20you%20been%20to%20our%20campus%20
B:%20In%20my%20opinion,%20it%20is%20positive%20to%20attend%20social%20activities%20in%20university%20life.%20University%20students%20can%20benefit%20a%20lot%20from%20them,%20which%20would%20be%20very%20helpful%20for%20their%20future%20careers.
A:%20I%20don’t%20know%20about%20that.%20Could%20you%20elaborate%20on%20that?
B:%20Definitely.%20Through%20attending%20these%20social%20activities,%20students%20can%20meet%20a%20lot%20of%20friends%20to%20enlarge%20their%20social%20circles,%20and%20they%20can%20improve%20their%20abilities%20on%20dealing%20with%20the%20interpersonal%20relationships.
A:%20There%20is%20something%20in%20what%20you%20say.%20But%20I%20think%20it%20would%20waste%20a%20lot%20of%20time%20if%20students%20attend%20these%20social%20activities,%20which%20would%20distract%20students’%20attention%20from%20their%20studies.
B:%20I’m%20not%20in%20agreement%20with%20what%20you%20said.%20Mastering%20all%20the%20knowledge%20in%20the%20textbooks%20is%20not%20the%20only%20prerequisite%20for%20getting%20a%20good%20job.%20I%20know%20some%20graduates%20who%20are%20excellent%20in%20their%20studies,%20but%20know%20nothing%20about%20interpersonal%20communication,%20which%20has%20been%20an%20obstacle%20in%20their%20following%20work%20and%20lives.
A:%20However,%20in%20some%20students’%20eyes,%20these%20social%20activities%20are%20far%20more%20attractive%20than%20the%20classes.%20They%20take%20part%20in%20them%20not%20to%20gain%20skills%20in%20human%20interaction.%20And%20finally%20they%20would%20neglect%20their%20studies%20and%20be%20misled%20and%20go%20astray.
B:%20That’s%20possible.%20But%20in%20my%20eyes,%20a%20successful%20university%20education%20is%20to%20cultivate%20talents%20not%20only%20mastering%20all%20the%20knowledge%20and%20skills%20from%20the%20textbooks%20but%20also%20having%20abilities%20to%20handle%20interpersonal%20relationships.%20It’s%20true%20that%20some%20of%20the%20students%20are%20not%20mature%20enough%20to%20distinguish%20the%20true%20from%20the%20false.%20But%20parents%20and%20teachers%20should%20provide%20advice%20and%20suggestions,%20so%20they%20can%20have%20healthy%20and%20all-round%20development.
A:%20I%20still%20can’t%20agree%20with%20you.%20Social%20activities%20would%20take%20students’%20minds%20off%20their%20studies,%20which%20would%20have%20a%20negative%20effect%20on%20their%20studies.
B:%20From%20the%20beginning%20to%20the%20ending,%20I%20believe%20to%20learn%20how%20to%20deal%20with%20human%20interaction%20is%20a%20part%20of%20university%20education%20and%20students%20can%20get%20these%20skills%20by%20taking%20part%20in%20various%20social%20activities.%20Therefore,%20social%20activities%20have%20positive%20effects%20on%20university%20studies.

What’s your opinion about eating and drinking on subway?
As far as I am concerned, eating and drinking on subway trains are indeed not proper behavior, but it is also not reasonable to deprive citizens of that right. Eating and drinking on subway trains should be discouraged. Announcements and posters could be used to encourage people to create a better environment. With regard to the pregnant, the elderly, the sick and the weak, the government can allocate them special room to eat and drink.
10. What should we do to insure food safety?
To guarantee food safety, we need something more than the strengthening of relevant regulations. Firstly, we need to carry out a comprehensive study of food standards both in China and abroad. Secondly, we should make a breakthrough in supervision technology. Thirdly, we should guarantee 
the safety of raw materials, the food processing and the transportation. Only in this way can Chinese food become safer and safer.
11. What do you think of losing weight by eating less?
In my opinion, dieting is not beneficial in the long run. People tend to lose weight initially but then they regain their normal weight after some time. To lose weight, you should take correct measures. In addition, losing weight is not only losing weight but also creating a new healthy lifestyle. And you can form good habits and reduce risks of diseases. At the same time, you gain confidence when you slim down.
12. Can you tell me how Chinese food is different from that of other countries?
As far as the cooking techniques are concerned, Chinese people tend to stir-fry the vegetables while people from other countries like to have their 
vegetables or meat either steamed or boiled. Another difference is that they use cheese a lot while many Chinese people find it too greasy. The very obvious difference is that Chinese people like to have their beef well-done while people from other countries may like it rare or medium.
13. What’s your favorite snack in your hometown?
For me, the hot pot is the first choice. Watching the rolling soup in the pot, inhaling the spicy scent in the air, do not behave yourself, just take off your shirt and gobble up the yummy food. You may ask why people would take off their shirt while enjoying the hot pot, the answer is simple—the spicy hot pot makes them sweat. After a whole day of hard work, several friends gather in the hall of the hot pot restaurant. We chat and laugh while drinking the cold beer and stuffing the mouth with the delicious food.
14. Are you a good cook?
Although I like cooking with my friends together, I don’t have the confidence to say I’m a good cook. Sometimes I don’t do what I’m supposed to do. That’s why I like cooking with people. I like cooking with people on weekends, so that we can share ideas and get to know what we do not know before. So I don’t think I’m a good cook by myself.
