　　To talk about a person who is good at cooking, I think there is no one else but my mom. She is the best cook I have ever seen. my family and I all like her cooking very much.
　　My mum is a popular and well-respected Chinese teacher in a middle school. She is in her 40’s now. she is neither too tall nor too short, just medium built, like a normal local woman, but with beautiful feature and fashionable clothes.
　　Though most of the time she is busy with her lessons and students, my mum still enjoys cooking for us in her spare time. Everyday after school, she buys vegetables and meats in the market near the school and brings them home and cooks them for us. Her cooking is always different, which gives us surprise, as well as nutrition. My father and I will help her in the kitchen sometimes, and the happiest time of my family is always dinner time. We can taste delicious food and share each other the interesting things of the day.
　　My mum’s favorite dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which is the best one I have ever tasted.
　　That is all I want to say about this.
　　eg.best friend
　　参考答案略，根据我给大家提示的几点来描述你的朋友，注意时态，可以讲以前的同学，一定都用过去时态。
　　物品类考题详解:
　　物品类：
　　1.想买的东西 and 礼物 当做同一个话题讲解
　　Talking about something I want to buy, there is nothing else but a book about vocabulary. You may think it is awkward, but it is true. I do hope that I can buy a book named ‘the origin of English words’.
　　I heard of the book from a TV program, which shares the interests of learning English. Because many students have difficulties in remembering the words, which is the basis of learning enlgish, as you know. Someone recommended a book named “the origin of English words”. It is published by beijing university press early in this May. The writer is a teacher in Beijing, who has studied in Sydney for many years, and has a long teaching experience. In his book, he writes some words in sequences. What’s different is that almost every word in the book has a story. For example, “academy”which is a difficult word to remember. But he tells the story of the word. It used to be a name a place, where Plato, a philosopher, once travelled and set up a study center there. From that time on , academy means a place of study in some special field.
　　I am simply interested in the story and the culture behind the words. I think the way the book suggested is really good for remembering vocabulary.
　　I searched many bookstores in Changsha ,but I haven’t found it so far, but I am still looking for it. I wish I can get it quickly.
　　(把此答案，用自己的话改成你爸爸给你从北京带来的一件礼物，就是一本书，这本书帮助你记忆单词了解文化，你很喜欢。)
　　2.艺术品（讲出艺术）---即自己做的一样东西：比如说毛衣或者围巾
　　To talk about an artwork, I couldn’t help thinking a handicraft, which was made by myself. Haha. Can I call it an artwork?
　　It is a scarf I made for my boyfriend.
　　When I was in university, my classmates were crazy about knitting things. They bought a lot of books and materials for knitting, and everyday after class, they would stay in the dormitory and knit happily. At very beginning, I was not keen to it, and thought it was boring and troublesome. But when I saw their works, I felt jealous and began to join their team.
　　The scarf I made was white, simple and a little bit ugly, but really useful. My boyfriend appreciated me very much.
　　Knitting is a kind of folk artwork in china, which is popular by women in southern china. In the past, like 20 years ago, almost every woman knows how to knit and they will do it in their spare time. A lot of daily things, such as gloves, scarves, and sweaters, even socks were made by women. People didn’t used to buy them at all.
　　However, it is getting less and less popular, because of the fast development of machines and the greater pressure on the shoulders of women. Nowadays, only a few women especially the elder ones will do it in their spare time, which is really pitiful.
　　3.一些有用的意见--- milly 告诉你的health care 方面的建议
　　Milly gave me some advice about health care.
　　She said that a person who wanted to be healthy must do 3 things.
　　The first is sleeping well. Sleeping is the most important factor of health. A person needs to sleep at least 8 hrs every day, and the best time for sleeping is between 10 pm and 7 am. staying up is the killer of fitness, while in the past, I liked to play computer games very much, sometimes I stayed up overnight and slept for 24 hrs the second day, which was a really bad habit.
　　Milly also suggested me to eat more vegetables and fruits, especially the fresh ones. But for me, I thought, vegetables were grasses, which was used to feed animals. Instead I only ate red meats,like pork, beef and mutton, now I am trying to change the habit and I am getting used to vegetables and fruits.
　　The last, she suggested me is doing exercises. At that time she was doing yoga, which she thought was an excellent exercise for ladies. I haven’t joined her so far, though I tried many times, but I will make up my mind to do it.
　　That is the suggestion from milly, who helped me a lot. I do appreciate it very much.
