People Cards

1
Describe your best friend.
You should say:
Where and when you met him/her
What you do together
Something about his/her appearance and personality
Explain why you think you are such good friends

I met my best friend while I was at university. He was in the same class. At first, he scolded me for leaning back on my chair but, after a while, we began to become good friends. I used to meet him regularly at an Internet café. He went there regularly. We would spend hours there together. He would always lend a hand to me because I didn’t know much about computers at that time.

He’s a humble guy, never shows off his knowledge, even though he can. He’s sincere and doesn’t mind mildly scolding you or even himself in all the same sentence. . ； He is usually very sociable, but sometimes he can also be a bit shy. He is good at soccer and volleyball and used to be on the school team. He’s quite muscular and his hair is frizzy. He has very droopy eyes, like a puppy and a very wide mouth.

I think the main reason we are such good friends is because we have a lot in common and we both have the same kind of humour. We also always support each other whenever we need help. ； I think we are such good friends because we don’t feel we ever have to pretend around each other, and we are really helpful to one another. I will miss this guy a lot if I go overseas but since he is always at the internet café, I can email him, and he’s probably right there to receive it!

Describe a teacher that had a powerful effect on you.
You should say:
What subject the teacher taught you
When you had his/her class
Describe the teacher’s appearance and personality
And explain what effect the teacher had on you.

First let me tell you about my teacher Zhang Fei and she still works at the Dalian Middle School number 23. She taught me English in school. I had her class about 6 years ago and she taught me for a full year.

First let me tell you how she looks. She looks very normal except that she’s very beautiful inside. She’s tall and thin but the thing you can notice about her wonderful, dark eyes with very bushy eyebrows under her spectacles. I can still picture her. You know she does not seem friendly at first, because she is very stern when she speaks and she will not tolerate nonsense, but she is very kind in her own special way. ； . She is also very demanding and clear when she speaks and her concern is not so much your grades but your effort.

The effect she had was very powerful. Essentially she taught me that you could be very disciplined and stern and hard working but still be very kind. Before I thought all teachers who were strict were just mean. After her, I learned that hard work is about not compromising on quality.

Describe yourself
You should say
What you currently do
What you like and dont like doing
What your good points (i.e. strengths) and bad points (weaknesses)
And explain what’s the best way to become your friend.

Well, to start with, I think I will tell you what I do. I am a lawyer here in Shanghai and Ive been working as an attorney for about 3 years. My work is interesting, but it involves very complicated issues and often there are various strategies that are necessary for success.

I enjoy meeting people and forming new relationships with people. I enjoy hearing people’s stories and I like trying my best to help them. I also enjoy getting out with my friends and enjoying the entertainment places. I am a big fan of jazz and there are a few places that I go to enjoy it. I can also play the saxophone and even play in a bad at a bar form time to time, but I dont have time to do it regularly.

What I dont like doing? Hmm..let me think, well I suppose I just dont like having to go through a lot of very tedious details at work and quite frankly I dont like clients who lie to me about their situation. There are some things about the job, which I dont like and Im not proud about everything that I do, but overall I really like it.

I think my good points are that Im quite good at communicating. I mean, you have to be as a lawyer. I do know a lot about the law, especially commercial law that is my specialty. I have a good memory for legal issues and law and I can use them quite well to argue a point. My bad points are that I am the worst person for finding directions. I get lost everywhere when Im traveling. If you ask my wife she’ll tell you that theres nobody as bad as I for getting lost in places.

As for how you can be my friend. I think the key thing is that you just need to have a good sense of humour and you just need to be honest in your actions. Actually I am quire willing to be anyone’s friends but I hate people who make a big show of it. I dont need any special favours or gifts to be my friends. If people just act themselves...well, that’s good enough for me.

Describe a friend or relative who is very different from you.
You should say:
Where the friend lives
How you met him/her
How he is different from you ； ；
And explain how you can still be good friends even though you are so different

 ；Right, well,… I had tough time thinking about who was most unlike me but I guess it would have to be my cousin, Zhou Jiao Ping. Jiao Ping is a person who’s so clever when it comes to business that I have chosen him, because when it comes to business I always seem to make the wrong decisions. ； Jaio Ping is a real estate agent who puts almost every extra rmb into investments like property and stocks. He never seems to lose money.

His job alone pays him a reasonable income but he makes a lot on all the private investments he makes, and perhaps you could call him a millionaire. I, on the other hand, dont dare to invest my money because I’m too afraid of losing it, and I prefer spending my money on things to make me and others feel good

Jiao Ping is a driven man and I like his energy and persistence. He’s not a boastful guy, in fact he’s quite modest, but he’s a complete workaholic and even if you sit him down for over a minute he will think of things he could be doing. He’s a thin fellow, has no time for food it seems, and he has this permanent smile on his face. He has quite a sharp wit and never seems to be serious when you talk with him, but in fact he’s always thinking of this and that.

Jiao Ping is very generous and lends money to so many people, without even expecting them to pay it back. But he spends hardly a penny on himself. He has no wife, and although he has about 4 homes, he lives in a very small place. You might say he is a miser, but actually he just doesnt care that much for luxuries since he doesnt get any pleasure from them.

He’s different from me in many ways. First, I enjoy spending money to make myself happy. I also have to have a balance of work and pleasure. I dont mind working hard during my work, but I can’t stand always thinking about work and I need some time to just relax. I also dont feel so guilty about wasting a bit of time every now and then.

Describe a friend, relative or other person who has a good sense of humour
You should say:
How you know this person
What this person’s job or major is
The kinds of things he/she says that are funny
And explain how this person affects you (i.e. what impact this person has on you)

Ok, I’ve been asked to describe a person with a good sense of humour and the person I’ve chosen is my classmate Zhang Hui. Zhang Hui is a boy from Henan. He comes from Kaifeng. He majors in Economics and well, I guess you can say that Economics is not the most interesting subject, especially when the teachers start drawing graphics on the bla
