Dr. Diaz: In recent years, the shift towards electric vehicles(EVs) has become a crucial aspect of environmental policy. However, the adoption rate of EVs varies significantly across different regions. Considering the benefits of EVs. such as reduced emissions and lower operating costs, what strategies should governments implement to encourage the use of electric vehicles?

 

Claire: I believe tax incentives are a powerful tool for governments to encourage EV adoption High upfront costs often deter potential buyers from choosing electric vehicles. If the government offered substantial tax credits or rebates for EV purchases, it would make these vehicles more financially accessible. This approach has been successful in various countries significantly boosting EV sales.
 

Andrew: In my opinion, the development of extensive and reliable charging infrastructure is key. One of the biggest concerns for potential EV buyers is the fear of running out of batten without access to a charging station. If the government invested in creating a dense network of fast-charging stations, it would alleviate these concerns, making the idea of owning an EV more practical and appealing.

 

思路参考：

 

1.Increasing funding for EV infrastructure: The government should invest in the development and maintenance of charging stations across the country. This would make owning an electric vehicle more convenient.

 

2.Providing subsidies for EV manufacturers: This could help decrease the production cost and hence, the selling price of electric vehicles, making them more affordable for consumers.

 

3.Launching public awareness campaigns: The government should educate the public about the benefits of electric vehicles and how they can contribute to environmental protection.

 

4.Encouraging research and development: The government should invest in or provide incentives for research into electric vehicle technology and battery technology.

 

范文

 

The government should educate the public about the benefits of electric vehicles to promote them. One of the primary reasons for the slow adoption of electric vehicles is some misconceptions. Many are still unaware of the environmental consequences of using traditional gasoline-fueled cars, such as increased air pollution and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. They also hold erroneous beliefs that electric vehicles are less powerful or less reliable than their gas-powered counterparts. To tackle these issues, the government should emphasize that EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, thus playing a crucial role in reducing pollution and mitigating climate change. Also, the public should be informed about the advancements in EV technology that make them just as reliable and powerful as traditional cars. Such publicity will not only change public perception but also stimulate interest and demand for EVs. For instance, the government can sponsor expos where manufacturers display their latest EV models. Here, potential buyers can learn about how EVs work, their technical advancements, and environmental benefits, which subsequently encourages more people to embrace this technology.

Dr. Diaz: It is common that the government would provide financial support to citizens in need. Which of the following people do you think need government financial support most?People over 70 years old, young families with children or people who lost their jobs? What is your preference on this? Why?

 

May: I think people who is over seventy years old should get the financial support. Compared with the young, they have a lower labor force and less access to wealth. Even with pensions, many old people still suffer a sharp drop in income. In addition, the elderly have to spend more on medical care, so they need government's support the most.

 

Lorry: I think unemployed people need government assistance the most because they need financial support to get back on their feet. In the process of unemployment, people's standard of living will fall seriously. In addition, people may face emotional problems such as a loss of self-confidence. So the government's financial aid helps people get up as quickly as possible.

Dr. Gupta: Some companies regulate that employees should not send or receive emails related to work on vacations or holidays. Some people believe that this policy would enhance employees' satisfaction. Others think the opposite. Do you think that it would be effective in enhancing employees' satisfaction? Why?

 

David: The purpose of vacations is to relax and take one's mind off work. Such a break enhances work performance because the person is refreshed and able to look at the tasks with a new perspective. If the person deals with work-related emails during the vacation, the person would not get this needed refresh mind. Thinking about and doing a totally unrelated activity is essential to clear the exhausted mind. Such tasks as creative problem solving or proofreading one's own documents are virtually impossible without a break that gives a new perspective. Therefore, it is a good policy to avoid work-related emails during vacations.

 

Smith: I agree with David. Dealing with work emails usually takes a long time. If you spend a lot of time on email during the holidays, you may feel like you're not really rested. It's more like working in a different place.

 

预测题4（巩固练习）

 

Dr. Gupta: Studies show approximately four in five people say they experience stress at work or study. Half say stress negatively results in headaches, fatigues and problems sleeping. Clearly, stress is a problem. What is your way to deal with stress and why?

 

Neil: I feel stressful whenever I have to turn in a report but it is nearly blank in my mind. Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that one can have some control over. Therefore, taking action plays a pivotal role in dealing with stress. I find that as soon as I can identify it and make the first line, or figure out the first draft, it dramatically reduces the stress I feel.

 

Chance: I understand Neil's saying. In today's society, it seems that everyone is under a lot of pressure, and the specific pressure comes from various aspects. You may have noticed that there are many gyms around us. On one hand, everyone has higher requirements for keeping fit, and on the other hand, it is also a testament to the high pressure on people. The purpose of many friends I know who go to gym is to reduce stress. Running more on the treadmill and grabbing more fitness equipment will cause the brain to release dopamine, which promote the development of our happy emotions, and help us release inner pressure. I'm one of those people, and going to the gym helps me become less anxious.

Dr. Diaz: Electronic equipment has changed the way people work, study, and entertain, and it is put on the market at a certain update period. Some people are willing to buy new electronic products, like computers, iPads, mobile phones, etc, as soon as they are released to the market. Meanwhile, other group of people who take a wait-and-see attitude before purchasing. Which attitude would you choose to buy electronic equipment? Why?

 

Debbie: I am willing to buy new electronic equipment in the first place. I am a loyal Apple fan. Every year when the Apple mobile phone is updated, I will discount the old model and buy a new one. In the eyes of my friends, I am a representative of trends, because I am always at the forefront of new products and experiences. I am also willing to tell my experience to the people around me and give them more references for their opinions, which is also beneficial to my current college major's study.

 

Andy: Debbie represents the tendencies of a group of customers. But I don't buy new electronics in the first place because of the budget. Although there will be internal testing and external market research before the launch of new products, it is inevitable that there will be potential problems that have not been exposed. I hope to buy products with the highest cost-effectiveness and improve the comfort of life, instead of buying new products with potential troubles, just to show off.
