a high school has decided that all students must take a class in which they learn a practical skill. school administrators are trying to decide whether to hold a class in cooking, managing personal finances or auto repair. which do you think the school should require students to take? why?

这道题目是一个三选一的题目，这类题目最简单的思考方式，就是从a,b,c三个选项中，选出其中一项，然后说出这一项的好处，然后说出另外两种的缺陷，就可以了。此题，笔者建议选择managing personal finances，具体思路如下

理由一：获得理财能力，可以帮助学生形成理性的消费观，避免攀比心理，从而合理分配自己的零用钱。众所周知，形成合理消费的习惯对于学生现在和未来的生活都起到非常重要的作用。(to begin with, acquiring the ability of managing money can help students form a rational view of spending and avoid competing mind between each other, thus making them allocating money properly. as we know, the formation of distributing one’s financial resources has a great influence on students’ current and future life. )

理由二：学习做饭会存在安全隐患，因为学生缺乏安全意识，很容易引起火灾。而且，会浪费时间，因为学生完全可以去餐厅吃饭，而不需要自己做饭。(secondly, there are a few advantages of learning cooking. for one thing, potential safety hazards may accompany the process of cooking, because students usually lack the awareness of safety, which may result in the outbreak of fire. for another, cooking by students themselves may waste much precious time which can be saved by eating in canteen.)

理由三：学习修车对学生来说实用性不强，因为学生出行的方式主要是自行车或做公交车。(thirdly, learning auto repair is not useful for students because most of them usually go to school by riding bike or taking public transportation.)

结尾段：综上所述，我认为学校应该开始的课程是理财课。(judging from what has been discussed above, it is reasonable to draw the conclusion that schools should require their students to take the course of managing finance. )

people should be open to new ideas and change his or her mind to be successful

此题目的意思是为了能够取得成功，人们应该通过接受新的想法来改变自己的看法。此题目想理由大家可能只会想到，不断更新自己的想法才能紧跟时代潮流，从而取得成功。所以此题目，波波老师推荐大家使用拆分举例的方式：将题目中的“people”拆分成：老师和产品设计师。(from my perspective, accepting new ideas and updating their mind constantly are important to become successful for everyone, especially for teachers and product designers.)具体思路如下：

论点一：first of all, being open to new ideas and modifying their mind are of great importance for teachers to achieve success. (现在知识体系随着社会的进步在不断更新，另外老师在教学中面对的学生也在不断变化，所以老师要顺利开展教学活动，必然需要不断的接受新的观点，改进自己的教学理念。)

论点二：in addition, the above same logic also applies to product designers. (众所周知，要想让产品大卖，生产者需要迎合消费者的需求。作为产品设计者，只有通过听取新的意见，才能不断改进自己的产品，从而获得市场份额最终盈利。)

working at home by using telelphone or computer is better than working in office.

此题目涉及到工作方式优劣对比的.问题，大家选择某一种工作方式后一定要进行段内对比。波波老师建议大家选择在家里工作，因为一方面可以节省时间和金钱，另一方面可以提高工作效率。具体思路如下：

理由一：to begin with, telecommuting can save a great deal of time and money than working in office.(去办公室工作，每天上下班会遭遇高峰期(rush hour), 由于堵车每天花在路上的时间可能是3-4个小时，然而在家里工作就省去这些麻烦。另外，员工每天的交通费日积月累对员工来说会是一笔较大的开销，增加生活负担，同时，对于公司老板来说，每天需要为办公场所支付电费水费等费用，相反，员工在家工作的话对于员工和老板来说将是双赢的局面。)

理由二：in addition, working at home is more effective than working in the office because people will be less unlikely to be disturbed while working alone. (在办公室里，人多口杂，非常嘈杂，所以员工的注意力极易被分散，工作效率将会大幅下降。比较而言，在家里相对安静，员工可以更加集中注意力，高效工作。)

some people believe that they can solve important problems by themselves or with the help of family so there is no need for them to seek help from government.

此题目意思是个人可以通过个人努力和家人帮助来解决重大问题，所以不需要政府的帮助。此题不管是同意还是反对，想两个理由都较为困难，所以我们可以选择进行对important problems 进行拆分,波波老师建议大家选择不同意，即认为个人需要政府的帮助来解决很多重大问题，比如环境问题和教育问题。

first of all, environmental problems must be solved with the help of the government in many cases. (现在环境问题愈来愈严重，雾霾(haze)以及各种污染问题层出不穷，然而个人的力量总是弱小的，只有通过政府的努力才能解决这些问题。比如雾霾主要是由汽车尾气和工业废气造成的，个人只能改变自己的出行方式，但是这对解决环境问题的作用是微乎其微的，只有政府制定法律法规或关闭工厂这些方式才能从根本上解决空气问题)

in addition, the contribution of the government in solving the problems about educational system cannot be overlooked.(众所周知，很多国家存在教育资源不足或分布不均匀的情况，个人无法通过个人的努力来改变国家整体的教育质量，只有通过政府制定相关政策才能使这一问题得到解决。比如，我国偏远地区的孩子无法上学的问题)

should children spend most time playing and studying? or should they be required to help the family with household chores, like cooking and cleaning?

此题目意思是“孩子应该去玩耍和学习还是应该做家务”。此题目思路较多，波波老师建议大家选择做家务，理由如下：

理由一： helping the family with household chores can help childern gain essential life skills and thus foster their ability of fending for themselves.(孩子早晚都要走上社会独立生活，现在做一些家务，比如做饭和洗衣，孩子可以更好地照顾自己。相反，如果只注重学习和玩耍孩子很可能成为高分低能的孩子，加来无法独立生活。)

理由二：children’s sense of responsibility can be raised during the process of doing houseworks.(家务是家庭共同的义务，在做家务中孩子可以体会到父母的辛劳，从而对家庭负责，同时也可以减轻父母的负担。)

one quality that a successful leader must have is to maken help decisions quickly. when a leader takes too much time to make decisions, he will be seen as ineffective to the people he leads.

此题目含义：领导者应该深思熟虑还是应该当机立断。波波老师建议大家选择后者，因为当机立断既可以让团队抓住机会，又可以在团队成员中树立权威，赢得他们的信任。

理由一： making up one’s mind without hesitation can help leaders to catch more chances to succeed. (不管是在哪种行业，机会总是稍纵即逝的。只有能够快速做出决策的人才能抓住这些机会，并带领团队走向成功)

理由二：leaders who can rapidly make decisions can build up autorities in front of team members and thus create strong cohesiveness in the team. (对突发情况快速反应并做出决策是一种能力的体现，也会让团队成员更加信服。相反，如果决策者犹豫不决，会让团队对其失去信任。)
