题目分析，包括考生可能对题目产生的错误理解。
PART 1
1. Which magazines and newspapers do you read? [Why?]
杂志的类别有很多，有大众休闲杂志，有学术杂志，还有一种叫做 sensational magazine 的类 别?(厚薄有点像报纸，版面也较大，主要就是用一些故事或内容创造一些轰动，常登一些名人花边新闻等，类似于狗仔队杂志吧)。不管读报纸还是杂志，基本上就是为了获取一些信息，有可能是休闲的目的，也有可能是教育的目的。
2. What kinds of articles are you most interested in? [why?]
类别有很多有新闻类、商业类、体育类、娱乐类等等。当然，考生这里可以列举自己喜欢的所有类别文章，表明自己兴趣广泛，也可以只讲自己最喜欢的类别。
3. Have you ever read a magazine or newspaper in a foreign language? [when/why?]
读外文报刊是一个不错的学习外语的方法，但是可能由于多种原因，例如地区偏远、物流不便、政府限制、新闻管控等等，而无法获得这样的资源。当然，如果读过外文报刊，可以讲讲读的感受，遇到的困难和学到的东西等等。
4. Do you think reading a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language is a good way to learn the language? [Why/Why not?]
通常来说大多数人都认为这是一个很好的巩固或学习语言的方法，因为阅读外文报刊可以学习单词，巩固语法，提高阅读。当然。考生也可以反其道而行之认为不好，尤其是对自己不好，原因可以讲报刊内容大多太新闻性、政治性，和自己学习语言为了生活使用相去太远，或者干脆讲自己根本就不喜欢阅读报刊哪怕是中文的，怎么可能从阅读外文报刊中学到任何东西呢?

PART 1
1. Which magazines and newspapers do you read? [Why?]
I really like to read New Scientist. It is a weekly international science magazine that covers recent developments in science and technology. It is always thrilling to read about what our future would be like and get to know how we can contribute or have contributed to make that happen. And as to newspapers, I’m a loyal subscriber to China Daily, which can keep me updated about the latest happenings in China and around the world.
I like reading all kinds of fashion magazines, especially Vogue. It is a fashion and lifestyle magazine. Look, like every other girl, I love buying clothes and I always want to look for the best when I go out. In order to do that, I must train myself to be keen on fashion and I believe reading Vogue is the best way to do so.
2. What kinds of articles are you most interested in? [why?]
I’m personally very much fond of articles on new discoveries of the universe. Look, I don’t believe that we’re the only intelligent species in the universe. I believe, like the Drake Equation described, there must be millions of earthlike planets inhabited by alien life forms which are only to be discovered by us.
I really like to read articles about the latest fashion events around the world, like the Paris Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and etc., because new fashion trends all
started there. Getting the latest updates on that is essential to becoming a beauty expert.
3. Have you ever read a magazine or newspaper in a foreign language? [when/why?]
Of course I have. Look, I love learning all kinds of languages, and reading magazines and newspapers is a very good way to brush up my reading and vocabulary power. And I always do my reading at night, because it’s quiet and therefore not easy to get distracted.
No, I haven’t, simply because it’s quite hard to get hold of any foreign magazine or newspaperhere except for China Daily, which is just full of government propaganda and articles of heavily biased opinions. But I really would like to read a real foreign published magazine and get to know what the rest of the world think about China.
4. Do you think reading a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language is a good way to learn the language? [Why/Why not?]
Definitely yes. Taking English for example, reading newspapers and magazines can help students learn a lot of useful words and expressions, plus it’s also a good training for reading. Not only can students learn knowledge from it, it also provides them with plenty of discussion materials, which in turn improves their writing and speaking as well.
Well, I doubt it. Look, I can’t quite say whether it works well for others, but it definitely is not suitable for me. I just find reading kind of boring, because I guess I’m more a visual kind of person rather than textual, by that I mean it’s much easier for me to accept visual information than textual information, which means I personally find watching videos is a much better way to learn a foreign language.
