Sample Answer ( 6 分段参考)
I want to talk about a conversation I had with my friend Jay. Now, Jay is one of my best friends. We got to know each other in high school and we still keep in touch with each other to this day.
Jay is a smart guy and he can always come up with brilliant yet confusing ideas. Some of these ideas are from the readings he does and some just come out of nowhere. So, this happened back in high school. One day, when I was having my lunch break, Jay came to me and proposed a theory that he had just crafted, and it goes like this: if dinosaur toys are made from plastic, and plastic is made from fossil fuels, then is it possible that we might be using real dinosaur bodies to make dinosaur toys? I was stunned by the weirdness of this idea, and we ended up searching for information online about petroleum and archaeology.
I absolutely enjoyed the conversation we had because it is such a curious statement. It sounds so philosophical but it seems to make perfect sense. We didn't come close to a conclusion in the end, but our thought process itself was satisfying and that's something I look up to my friend Jay: when he's in a conversation, I can think in a more creative way.
Sample Answer (7 分段参考):
This topic reminds me of a time when I discussed the influence of social media on mental health with my friend Jay, who is doing psychology in a university. In fact, this was also the topic for his final term paper. Unlike me, who is a heavy user of social media, Jay is one of those rare people who say no to it in an unshakable manner. Just imagine, he never posts anything on his WeChat Moments and he even deleted his account of Weibo, the Chinese counterpart of Twitter.
So, we had the conversation when we met up in a coffee shop last winter vacation. He kicked off by asking me how much time I spent on using social media on a daily basis and how I actually felt after browsing so much information online. Actually, I had never reflected on my user behavior on social media, not to mention its impact on myself. But I did sometimes feel isolated when I see my friends posting about events that I haven’t been invited to or get pressured to get comments and likes on my posts. So, I told him so in a frank way. He then uttered something insightful, which I would never forget. He told me that it is the excessive exposure towards social media that exacerbates our depression, especially for teenagers and young adults. So, his suggestion was to minimize the screen time and shift our attention to our inner needs.
It was mind-blowing as I finally puzzled out the origin of my negative feelings. Plus, I also got an approach to grapple with it. I really appreciated the talk with Jay. If it hadn’t been his sharp views on this issue, I wouldn’t have been aware of the toxic side of social media.
