Part 1
What’s your favorite color? Why?

喜欢，
I prefer, love, am crazy about, am big fan of, am into ,

鲜艳，明亮，bright, exaggerated,
暗色，　dark,

色彩给予我的感觉the color gives me the feeling of ，　放松relaxing，愉悦happy/delight，confidence自信心　好心情good mood，
Definitely/absolutely/obviously/exactly


Do you like the same colors now as you did when you were child?
对于颜色的偏好
When it comes to my preference on colors, it has been changing since I was child.
When I was a little boy/girl, I used to like bright colors, say, pink, red and yellow. I still remember when I was 6 years old, my favorite dress was green pants and yellow Jacket. I felt I was like a sunflower.
But now I can’t dress like that, because of the dressing code in working place. Now I have to wear dark colors and other simple ones. For example, black business suit and white shirt.
So, as time pass by, the colors of my dress keeps changing.

过去喜欢　　明亮的颜色　童真

现在喜欢　　深色　职业的的需要

What can you learn about a person from the colors they like?

个人的爱好可以部分反映一个人的性格
a person’s preference can reflect his/her personalities.
我认为
I believe, I suppose, I guess,

性格乐观的人 a optimistic person　偏爱 prefer　　明艳的颜色 bright/shining colors

性格害羞的人for some people who are shy　倾向于 tend to/prefer to　计划守conservative 不会过于夸张 not too exaggerative

对我来说for me, from my perspective 我喜欢深色I am obsessive with dark colors　因为简单 because of the simplicity of dark colors 容易打理 and dark colors are easy to handle.

Do colors have a special meaning in your culture?

在我看来as far as I am concerned，人们通过颜色的使用来表达people use varieties of colors to express 希望hope　盼望expectation　愿望wishes

比如说for instance　红色在中传统文化里是喜庆的颜色red represents auspicious/good luck in Chinese traditional culture　在各式的庆典里in all celebrations ，比如for instance 庆national days 和and wedding ceremonies婚典 red is the main color in these occasions.
白色和黑色在肃穆的场合solemn occasion使用

和其他文化一样just like other cultures 在我们的文化里　颜色都有特定的含义colors have particular meanings in our tradition.
Part 2
Describe someone you admire

Speaking of a admirable celebrity,

I want to talk about John Lennon who was a giant in pop music history and peace making movement.

He was of 1960s, a member of the legendary band “The Beatles”. I knew the name John Lennon because of the “The Beatles” music. I am a big fan of “The Beatles”. And I have the whole collection of the Beatles’ 13 albums. John had composed many famous songs in these Albums, and they will attract many new fans from the future generations.

I see John as my personal hero not only because of his achievement in music, but also he was a very influential figure in the peace making movement. I read some books and watched some documentary about what had John done to initiate people to protest against wars, famine, and inequality.

He owned great fortune and fame because of his personal achievement, and certainly he could just enjoy a very comfortable and worry-free life.

However, he made many many many bold moves that challenge the mainstream of his society. The famous broadcasting of his stay in hotel to call peace in the world became an iconic event in world modern history.

I learned from John that a person should step out of his/her own comfortable zone to do the good of others. He did not use his fame and influence to enjoy luxurious life, but to became a people’s hero to fight for justice.

That’s why I what to talk about John Lennon as my personal hero.
Part3
Discussion topic

Music and young people

What kind of music are popular with young people in your country?

音乐是生活的一部分music is part of life, especially for young people　对于年轻人来说
音乐是必须无处不在的music is like food, water and air, which is a necessary of life. 随身听portable music device *上 mobile phones are stuffed with all sorts of music,　满满地被塞上了各种各样的音乐
作为一个出生于８０年代的年轻人as a young man from/of 1980s　我们对于摇滚和流行乐情有钟 we are obsessive with Rock and Roll and pop music.
尤其是来自西方的音乐是如此的普遍　几乎是无处不在的
and the western music is in every corner, like ubiquitous in my country.



What influences a young person’s taste on music in your country?


年轻人对于音乐的爱好是非常广泛的
Young people have a broad range of interest on music

有时　年轻人可以同时喜欢好几种截然不同风格的音乐
In many cases, young man can love music with totally different styles at the same time.
It is hard to say who and what influence them, I take myself as an example.

我认为像我一样的年轻人，我们对于音乐的爱好受到同辈人的影响是深的
I think young people like me, have been greatly influenced by my peers.

朋友的推荐friends’ recommendations　社交网络上反馈 feedbacks/ ratings
这些都会影响我们购*什么专辑
all these factors could mainly influence our purchase/buying of music.

How has technology affected the kinds of music popular with young people?

从网上购*和 音乐是现在年轻人获得音乐的主要方式
purchasing and downloading music online is the main way to get music for young people.

搜索引擎是人们获取主要信息的主要方式search engine is the main way to access information currently　比如说, I give you an example, when someone heard his/her friends comments music they are listening　听到朋友们在社交网络上评论音乐　自己会在网络上听　然后在网上购* this person will try it online him/herself , see whether he or she likes it. And then make their decision just by clicking their mouse.

年轻人几乎在网上完成购*音乐的所有过程　这对于父辈来说是难以想象的
young people complete the whole process of seeking and buying, and it is hard for the farther/mother generation to imagine.

Music and society

Tell me about any traditional music in your country?

Well, that is very interesting question,
Em, it had never occurred in my mind, really,
Give me a second, let me think about it,
Okie, here it comes,


有一个非常普遍的说法是there was a very interesting saying, it goes like this,　音乐是没有界的music has no geographic boundaries,　在我的　人们是非常热爱音乐的in my country, people love music,
说道我们的音乐传统speaking of our music tradition　我觉得中音乐有着悠久的历史 I think we enjoy a long music history,
这从我们有各种各样的戏剧中可以看出来 it can be proven by the multi-varieties of operas and other country music.
比如京剧I take Beijing opera as an example, it enjoys world reputation　世界闻名　中的老老少少都喜欢everyone, the old, the young, all of us are crazy about this music form, people enjoy this music form in every media, say, On television, radio/in air, videos on the Internet to enjoy Chinese traditional music, say, Beijing opera. 在电视　广播　网络视频上　来欣赏中传统音乐　比如京剧






How important is it for a culture to have musical tradition?

正如我之前所提到的As I mentioned earlier,　音乐是没有界的music has no geographic boundaries　它是美的一种形式　it is a form of beauty
人们对于美都是有追求的
the pursuit of beauty is like part of our nature.
几乎所有人都喜欢音乐 almost everyone loves/adores music
因此音乐传统对每个文化都是很重要的
therefore, music tradition is an indispensable part of a culture.
因为　因为音乐　对很多人来说　是很重要的如同生活的一部分
because, music, to many Chinese people, is part of their life, entertainment, and way of bonding with others.



Why do you think countries have national anthems or songs?

哇wow, I didn't expect that　歌national anthem　听起来好政治化呀 well, it sounds like a very political thing 呵呵 hehe
和大多人一样like most people,　我喜欢我们的歌I like our national anthem/song　但是从来没有想过but it had never ever occurred to me before why we have to have one national anthem　为啥要有歌
有意思的是it is interesting that in many international sports event, such as Olympic game, when my country’s national songs be played, a great sense of proud surging in my heart 每当在际体育赛事中　有歌奏响的时候　自豪感和爱情怀涌起 and at that moment, I can sense what is patrioti* and sense of belonging.
可能和身份和归属感相关吧　我猜
I think the national anthem is about identity and sense of belonging, I guess.

Entertainment

Do you prefer relaxing at home or going out in the evening? Why?
无论是学生还是上班族都需要一个劳逸结合的生活no matter who you are, a student, or a worker, we need a balance between our life and work.
Speaking of which way I prefer to relax myself, it depends.
每个人由于due to the differences of personalities,　性格　various income levels 收入水平　and all sorts of lifestyles和生活习惯的不同　选择不同的放松方式people’s ways of relaxing themselves differ from one another.
比如say,　体育doing sports　舞蹈dancing　看电影seeing movies　去博going to museum物馆　doing photography摄影　going to travel etc旅行　等等
我喜欢很多活动I like zillion kinds of entertainment activities 有些是室内的some of them are indoor activities, the others are outdoor. 有些是户外的
我喜欢将它们组合起来I like to combine them together　比如说say, 周中in the weekdays我晚上就在里I like to stay at home in the evening,　看书reading my favorite novels　听音乐listening to my Beatles Albums　一个人躲在房间里面练瑜伽or hide in my room to practice my yoga.　这是个只有你知道的秘密．This is a secret just between two of us.
周末at the weekend　我喜欢I prefer to sing karaoke with my folks/gals 和朋友们一起唱卡拉ｏｋ，and play badminton打羽毛球，（×……————……×）　嘻嘻……hehe　练习我的肺活量to enlarge my lung capacity
所以so　户内户外活动indoor or outdoor　你都可以叫上我 you can call me on board.
