Cycling is a great way to get around, especially for short trips.

bike-friendly, with excellent road conditions and bike lanes
Cycling could be dangerous in some parts of the city, where the traffic is heavy and often messy.
So, cyclists have to watch out and stay alert all the time.
In China, bikes are mainly used as a means of transport. Not many people ride the bike as a sport.
Sometimes, riding a bike is considered to be a symbol of having no money.
I think the government should encourage people to bike more instead of driving anywhere, for the sake of their health and also the environment.

TV guide
the most important form of home entertainment
I just watch TV once in a while now. I spend more time on the computer and Internet.
From Monday to Friday, I watch very little TV, but on the weekend or during holidays, I’m a bit of a couch potato.
Well, actually, I’ve got no particular preference for TV shows. I just flick through the channels and watch anything that attracts me.
What I like most is entertainment shows, cos they’re really entertaining. You know, after a hard day at work/school, a good laugh is exactly what I need to relax.
One of my favorites is an entertainment show called Happy Camp, which is one of the best-liked shows among young people. Most of my friends are loyal viewer of the show.
One big attraction of the show is the hosts and hostesses. They’re young, smart, cool, stylish, and amusing.
Every time, they invite a celebrity in the showbiz to share their success stories with the audience and also give a live performance.
There’s applause and laughter all through the show. I just love the atmosphere.
Some TV shows are educational and entertaining, no doubt about it, but on the other hand, watching too much TV makes one lazy both physically and mentally, cos TV is passive pleasure.
Watching TV is fun, but on the other hand, it can be totally time-consuming.
12. Advertisements l advertise
advertising
advertiser
place/put an advert/ad
commercials
non-profitable advertisements
commercial break
prime time
advertising revenues
do adverts for big companies
pay big stars to endorse their products
commercials tend to exaggerate and mislead the consumers
Commercials are important cos this is a commercial society.
Commercials serve as a bridge connecting consumers and manufacturers.
But on the other hand, they could be really annoying cos they always show up at the time you least want them to.
deceptive advertisements
Some adverts are just an insult to my intelligence.
be conned into buying fake products
I don’t trust what they say in adverts.
I just believe my own eyes and judgment.
And I trust name brands.
Name brands cannot afford to sell fake products.
TV adverts are just like mini-films, so they are more attractive and impressive.
Some advertisements are classic and great works of art.
I love advertisements that don’t exaggerate but really give you a strong visual impact and pleasure, and have very catchy advertising words.
13. Free-time activities l indoor/outdoor activities
I’m an indoors man/woman
go singing Karaoke

14. Weekends
have a good sleep
hang out with my friends, singing or playing cards
My favorite weekend activity is shopping.
Sometimes, I just want some time alone, so I stay home, reading books or catching a few flicks.
go for a drive in the countryside
The most popular weekend activities in China are shopping, playing mahjong, singing Karaoke and playing on the computer.
I think weekends now are more interesting, cos there’s so much I can do, watching TV, shopping, doing sport, singing, you name it, whereas in my childhood, the only thing I did was just watching cartoons.
I think weekends in my childhood are more interesting, cos I was totally care-free, and I didn’t have much homework to do, so I could spend most of my time playing with other children. We liked to play some simply games like hide and seek, but they gave us enormous pleasure, now, we had more things to do on the weekend, but they don’t seem to have so much fun. And, as a student, I’m under the constant pressure from exams. I’m not really happy.
15. Music
Music is magic.
Music is my passion.
hit songs
download the latest tunes
R&B/rap/rock/pop/blues/heavy mental/symphony/classical
rhythm/beat
Lyrics
song-writer/singer/musician/instrumentalist
an accomplished/excellent pianist
Composer
Tune
The music is great to dance to.
choir/band
go to a concert
signature song
the charts
album record
I’m a terrible singer. I always sing out of tune.
I love singing. It’s my favorite relaxation and stress killer.
I’ve got an ipod, which I take with me wherever I go, so I can have the company of music all the time.
Music is really important for me. I really cannot imagine my life without music.
Without music, my life would be so dull.
For me, music is just like a loyal friend, who is always there when you need him/her. He gives me comfort when I’m sad, gives me passion when I’m high, and gives me company when I’m lonely.
Actually, I’ve got no particular preference for music. I just listen to anything that’s pleasant to my ear. And in fact, what I listen to really depends on my mood. Say, when I’m in a bad mood, I usually choose something that’s slow and soothing, whereas when I’m in a good mood, I prefer something fast and strong and passionate.
musical instrument/instrument
the guitar/bass/clarinet/violin/cello/piano/flute/drum(s)/sax.
traditional Chinese musical instrument, like Guzheng, which is a string instrument, something like zither. It’s got about 20 strings, I don’t know exactly how many, and you play it with both your hands, the left hand plucking the strings and the right hand touching the strings to control the pitch. It’s got a unique sound, very beautiful.
I used to learn the piano for a while when I was in primary school, and then I had to stop it because of the heavy study pressure.
They say playing instruments makes kids more intelligent, imaginative and creative.
Playing a musical instrument is a marvelous hobby that can continue for a lifetime, and also it’s highly desirable skill.
If you’re really good at playing an instrument, you can make a living out of it if you like.
And it’s a really useful social skill, like you can show it on a party to entertain your friends, and you will be star of the party.
And if you can play an instrument, you have a unique way of expressing your feelings. Like, you can play music to express your love to someone without actually say “I love you”. It’s special and romantic. And it always works wonders.
Learning to play a musical instrument takes time and energy, and lot of money as well.
I’m not very musical, so learning an instrument is really a tough job for me.
16. Reading and writing
sci-fi/kung fu fictions
fantasy novels, like Harry Porter
some on-line fantasy stuff
biographies/autobiographies of celebrities or successful CEOs or entrepreneurs, or politicians.
story books/picture books/fairy tales/fables/ancient poems
best-sellers
Books that teach you how to become more attractive, how to become successful and make big money, how to manage your money and invest your money, and books about celebrities, they’re always the best sellers.
I’m into historical stuff. I’m really curious about what happened in the past. It always fascinates me.
I don’t read much in my free time.
I just do some light stuff, like newspapers and magazines.
And I also read some interesting news and blogs on the Internet almost every day.
I’m in the habit of keeping a diary.
I’m never a good writer.
We had composition lessons at school, but they were just for exams.
I think good writers should first be an avid reader. If you don’t read extensively, it’s impossible for you to write something good.
17. Fruits and vegetables
Veggie
cabbage, spinach, cauliflower, green beans, leek, water spinach, lotus root, eggplant, broccoli, cucumber, mushroom, green pepper fruits and fresh fruit juice
I’m a meat eater. I just couldn’t live without meat. And I’m not a big fan of veggies and fruits.
I know it’s not a healthy habit, but I just cannot resist meat.
I love fruits that are sweet, juicy and meaty, like water melon, and oranges.
Vegetables and fruits are low-calorie but highly nutritious, so they’re well-liked by people, especially girls who want to lose weight.
In China, we eat lots of veggies, cos they’re healthy/wholesome and they’re cheap to buy. This is quite different from some western countries where vegetables are more expensive than meat.
And also veggies are ingredients for lots of dishes.
Fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
And lots of them are helpful in preventing and curing diseases.
And it’s very convenient to get fresh vegetables and fruits. There’s a green grocer’s just outside my neighborhood, and there is an agricultural market, which is just 5 minutes’walk away. And we can also get vegetables from the supermarket.
18. Travel
travel agency/tour guide/tour leader/lecturer
(take) package tour
independent travel/travel independently
self-drive travel/travel in your own car
backpackers
tour around a place
see the sights
do sightseeing

This place is packed with travelers
tourists/travelers/holiday-makers
holiday resort
The best way to explore the place is on foot.
show sb around a place
enjoy the local delicacies
shopping paradise/buy name brand stuff at lower prices
take photos of the gorgeous view/scenery
Photos are great mementos and also I can show them to my friends so they can share my happiness.
get some souvenirs, like local specialties and some artifacts.
Package tours are safer and less trouble but they are less fun, cos you just follow the tour guide and you don’t have much freedom.
Independent travel could be dangerous and more trouble but they’re more exciting and enjoyable, cos you are free to make your own decisions, and do what you really like to do.
In China, the best-liked travel destinations are either places of great natural beauty or historical importance. And more and more people choose to travel overseas.
Travel enriches our life cos we go to new places, see and do new things and get new experiences.
Also, when you’re fed up with your day-to-day life, travel gives you the chance to get away from it all and totally relax.
19. Holidays
spend one’s holiday/vacation
holiday-makers
have 7 days off
public holidays: National Day holiday/May holiday
traditional festivals
annual vacation
What I do actually depends on the length of the holiday.
Of course, I want to go travelling during holidays but the problem is everywhere is packed with tourists, and I really hate that.
And also, transport is a big problem cos train tickers and air tickets are hard to get, cos the demand is too big.
During holidays, what I do most is get together with my friends and have a good time, shopping, singing Karaoke, having a big dinner together and chatting.
And of course, I love to sleep during holidays, you know, to sleep as long as I want, without anybody disturbing me. It’s awesome.
What I hate to do most is of course having to work during holidays. You know, everybody else is having a good time with their family or friends and you’re working, which really makes me sad.
I have lots of holidays, all the public holidays, like National Day and May Day, plus two long vacations, the 2-month summer vacation and one-month winter vacation, but the problem is that I have to spend most of my holidays on the school stuff or taking extra lessons. That is the last thing I want to do. I really hate it.
Holidays are important, cos they give us the chance to slow down and relax, and be with our family and close friends, and do something I really want to do but don’t have the time to do, so I think holidays are really important.
20. Computer l computer-literate/computer-illiterate
Computer-literacy is a must for modern people.
Everybody is supposed to be able to use the computer, you know, word, excel, ppt, and stuff.
laptop—adapter—cable—USB stick/USB port

click/double-click

computernik/mouse potato
play on the computer
My job/work involves using the computer a lot.
I type lots of stuff on the computer.
I also use it for entertainment, like listening to music, watching films and playing games.
I’ve been using the computer since I was very young, probably 7 years old.
I learned it myself. It’s really a piece of cake for me.
take apart the computer and reassemble it
If something is wrong with my computer, I can get help from the Internet, you know, there are lots of websites providing professional help about how to fix all kinds of computer problems.
If it’s just a small problem, I can fix it myself, but it’s something serious, I will get my cousin to fix it. He’s a computer specialist.
I can use the computer quite well, but when it comes to fixing computer problems, I’m totally hopeless.
Too much game playing is of course a bad thing. It ruins/damages your eyesight, harms your health, and affects your work/life.
However, if you can control yourself and don’t overdo it, playing games could be really fun. Some computer games are educational and entertaining. Some are just entertaining, maybe, in a bit violent or erotic way, but they’re great fun, no doubt about that. That’s why so many people are crazy about playing computer games.
All in all, playing computer games is no different from other forms of entertainment. If we don’t do it too much, it would do us more good than harm.
