51. Some local students feel that overseas students are treated better. What do you think?

　　a. I don't think it's completely true. Overseas students have much greater challenges to face, so relative to what they have to go through, they are treated the same as the local students. Perhaps there are slightly more lenient entrance requirements, but international students are paying quite a lot of tuition in order to study at the university.

　　b. In my opinion, the school authority should give preference to overseas students. Overseas students come here all the way from their home country and everything is strange: the environment, culture, customs, and food are different and they have no relatives or friends here and most of them feel pretty homesick and lonely. Emotions of this kind may affect their study. So getting some preferential treatment can help them alleviate these problems and get used to college life as soon as possible.

　　52. How do you think road accidents can be prevented?

　　Through education. If we can teach people the rules of the road, there will be fewer accidents. I don't mean just teaching the drivers, but also teaching pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, etc. Much of the problem behind road accidents lies in peoples lack of understanding of how the system works. Of course not all road accidents can be prevented, but there will certainly be a great reduction in accidents just through a bit of education.

　　53. How do you think China's membership in WTO will benefit China?

　　Well, it's a big topic to talk about. But I'm sure it will benefit China and other WTO members as well if China becomes a member of WTO. The common Chinese customers will benefit most from it because prices of imported products will be reduced and the quality and after sales services of national products will be improved.

　　54. What do you think of the unemployment problem in China?

　　I think the unemployment problem is getting more and more serious now. China is a country with a large population and there has always been more labour than required. It was not a big problem in the past under the planned economy system, but now enterprises could not afford the burden of a surplus labour force and many workers in state owned enterprises are being laid off. Something must be done about it before more serious problems arise.

　　55. What do you think is the main reasons for the gap between rich and poor?

　　Well, if you ask me, I don't think you can expect everyone to become rich at the same time. Under the market economy system it's only natural for the most capable people to make a fortune first. Life is a competition after all.

　　56. What's the housing situation/condition like in your city?

　　Well, the housing condition in my city has been improved a lot in recent years. But there are still many people who live in narrow, shabby houses. Besides, instead of getting free houses from the government as part of their benefits, people have to buy houses from real estate companies, and many of them can not afford the high cost of an apartment.

　　57. How do you think global warming can be prevented?

　　Well, there is no easy solution. As far as I know, global warming is caused by green-house effect which results from too much carbon dioxide in the air. I think the government should take measures to limit the number of private cars and make efforts to develop the public transportation system. Besides, We should try to replace fossil fuels with new, cleaner energy resources.

　　58. What's your view on the increasing porce rate in China?

　　Well, it's not an easy question to answer. The world today is changing rapidly, so are people's minds, I think there are three reasons for the high porce rate. First, people's idea of happiness is changing. Many young people don't want to stick to a stable but unhappy relationship at the cost of their life-long happiness. Second, women's social position is much higher today, especially in big cities. Many of them don't want to sacrifice their own career to support their husbands. Finally, there are sometimes economic reasons. The cost of supporting a family is higher and higher and so are people's expectations of their quality of life. A family can not be happy without a solid financial foundation.

　　59. What kind of possessions indicate status in your country?

　　In my country, cars and housings are always in association with status. Most people would use these two criteria as a measurement to see whether a person is achieving something in his/her career.

　　60. How has technology changed?

　　Technology has taken a big leap since the open door policy. More and more people are realizing the importance of technology in increasing productivity and efficiency. People are trained to use technology in work places. People are realizing that without technology, it will be difficult to compete in the global economy.
