Question: Did you ever watch TV programs from other countries?

　　Topic: Magazine

　　Question: Do you think reading foreign magazines and newspapers can help you learn a new language?

　　Model Response: Yes, I do. Learning a foreign language requires both patience and a lot of resources. And magazines and newspapers in that foreign language are an extremely valuable resource for learners. Personally speaking, I have learned a lot of great idioms, interesting phrases and insightful perspectives from Time Magazine.

　　Topic: Weather

　　Question: Do you often pay attention to weather forests?

　　Model Response: Well, yes and no, I suppose. If you are talking about weather forests on TV after the regular news report, I don’t give a damn about it. But I often check the local weather conditions in the next few days on the Internet, especially during the winter, to see if there is a sudden change in temperature.
