第一套

Some people think that parents should control how their children save and spend their money; Others think that children should be free to spend their money as they wish. Which view do you agree with？

本题建议选择让他们自由花钱，思路可以这样说：

1. When parents try to control how their kids spend their money, kids will think their parents don't trust their judgement and they don't have the freedom to make decisions for themselves. This will cause conflicts and even resentment, which may harm the parent-child relationship. 
2. Letting kids manage their own money gives them the opportunities to learn how to spend their money responsibily and reasonably. This money management ability is crucial when they one day start to earn money on their own. 
第二套
Some people prefer to work at a small company or organization with only a few coworkers. Others prefer to work at a large company or organization where there are thousands of employees. Which would you prefer? Explain why.

本题可以选择大公司，思路可以这样说：
1. Working in a big company means my job would be more stable. Big companies are less likely to have financial problems, so I don’t have to worry about not getting paid on time or losing the job because the company becomes bankrupt.
2. The experience of working in a big company will make my resume look good, because it means I’m more competitive and I have stronger abilities. So if I want to get a new job, I’m more likely to find better employment and a good pay. 
第三套

本题如果选择买物品，思路可以这样说：

1. 很多电子设备可以让我们的生活更加便捷，比如最新的笔记本电脑可以让我工作效率更高，智能的扫地机器人和洗碗机可以让减少我做家务的时间等等。

2. 漂亮的衣服，包包，装饰品可以让我开心，保持好的心情，让我更加自信。

3. 买一些高档的物品比如名牌衣服，手表可以作为社会地位的象征，这样可以让我获得别人的尊重和认可。

本题如果选择花钱增加经验，思路可以这样说：

1.  买来的物品带给我的快乐是很短暂的。比如刚买一件漂亮的衣服可能会很开心，但是过了一个月我就不喜欢这件衣服了。但是和朋友美好的旅行回忆则任何时候都能给我带来快乐。

2. 把钱花在旅行或者演唱会上可以拓宽我的视野，让我见识到新的文化，消除我的刻板印象和错误观念，让我变得更加开明包容。

3. 度假和参加演唱会之类的活动可以让我结识到一些有相同兴趣爱好的朋友。
