18. What are some important qualities of a good supervisor (boss)? Use specific details and examples to explain why these qualities are important.

　　Although we work in the different companies, the standards of evaluating a good supervisor are same. A good supervisor must be a good leader who manages the running of the whole company and brings profit to company. In the following discussion, I would like to illustrate my points what are the important qualities of a good supervisor.

　　First and also the most outstanding qualities of a good supervisor has integrity and justice. A good supervisor must be righteous what means he or she treating every subordinate fairly. A good supervisor shall not look down upon subordinates because of their races, clothes, working abilities or characters. A good supervisor shall give every employee equal chances so that he or she shall not set up a standard of evaluating subordinates just according to whether he or she likes this person or not. Every subordinate has chance to develop and be promoted in the company as long as he or she gains achievement in work. Don’t you think it is because we have a good and fair supervisor?

　　Another chief and head important quality of a good supervisor is that he or she is good at organizing the company and arranging every subordinate to an appropriate position. A good supervisor shall acquaint with every employee’s speciality so that he or she can make full use of every employee’s talent. Such as who is good at marketing, a good supervisor shall arrange him or her to sales department. Who is good at researching, a good supervisor shall arrange him or she to project department. In this working environment, everyone works happy and active, so the working efficiency must be increased. Don’t you think we need a supervisor like this?

　　Last but not the least is that a good supervisor must care about every subordinate. He or she shall help subordinates when they meet difficulties not only in work but also at home. One of my co-workers was ever in hospital because of serious sickness. My supervisor not only went to see him but also donated money to him for operating.

　　Of course, a good supervisor shall have other qualities, such as he or she has good knowledge and skills in the field, he or she is familiar with the information of market, he or she accepts subordinate’s suggestion modestly and so on. But I think the qualities I provided above are more important than others. Don’t you have the same viewpoint with me?

　　179. What are some of the qualities of a good parent? Use specific details and examples to explain your answer.

　　Every one has parents. What are the good qualities of a good parent? Different people hold different views. Some people think good parents shall give their children enough pocket money to buy what they want, some people think good parents shall be strict to their children. What qualities of a good parent do I think? In the following discussion, I would like to provide my opinion.

　　First and most important quality of good parents is they shall be children’s friends, treat children like their sister or brother, not like their mother or father. Nowadays, we often talk about a gap between two generations. What is a generation gap? I think it is a misunderstanding between parents and children. As good parents, they shall read and watch some entertainment news and fashion news not only political news or sports news so that they will have same topics to talk with their children. Such as who is the “American Idol” this year? Which skirts and shoes are fashionable this year? Which movie is the best one this year? If parents could do these, I thought they are good parents to children.

　　Another head and chief important quality of good parents is that they shall teach children what is right and what is wrong. There is an ancient proverb in China: A good child must have a good parent. I agree this opinion very much because parents are children’s first teachers. Their behaviors and actions influence children directly and they are models for children to follow. Good parents shall teach children to behave politely in public and also they do it themselves. For example, my parents taught me to say “thank you” if someone helped you, to say “sorry” if you disturbed someone, to say “hello” if you met someone. These instructions make me to be a polite person since I were a child. Do you support my opinion?

　　Last but not the least is that good parents shall trust their children. They shall give enough private space to their children. They don’t read children’s diaries or letters, they don’t search children’s drawers, they respect children’s decisions. Don’t you think that children will be happy because they have parents like these?

　　To sum up, good parents shall have other qualities, such as they help children to solve problems or make decisions, they play with children when they are free. But I think nothing is more important than what I provided above. Do you have the same view with me?

　　139. What do you consider to be the most important room in a house? Why is this room more important to you than any other room? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

　　What is the most important room in a house? Different people hold different view. Some people think bedroom is important because we spend most of time of our life in it. Some people think kitchen is important because we cook, drink and eat here. If I were faced the same question, I would prefer to the living room. In the following discussion, I would like to reason and provide evidence to support my opinion.

　　The most important reason that I cannot neglect is that living room in fact is people’s entertainment room. Nowadays, life is stressful and competition is fierce. Everyone need relax after work. What is their best choice? Nothing is better than back home sitting on the sofa to watch TV and movies or listen the music in the living room. Entertainments are nice medicines that can relieve the stress of our life. Also living room is a good room for reading. I like reading newspaper and novels in my living room that gives me much enjoyment. Don’t you love the life like this?

　　Another chief and head important reason that I have chosen to put here is that living room is a room where we chat, eat and play with our family. Nowadays, more and more children don’t like to talk with their parents, but I don’t think so. I believe that relationship is more important than others in our life. In my family, I like talking with my parents in the living room when I am free. We talk about anything we interested, such as current news, future plans, our friends’ events and so on. I find that not only I get much information from my parents but also I get close with them. Living room is a good place to enhance my relationship with my family. If you can understand this, you can understand my view better.

　　Last but not the least reason is that living room is a place where we communicate with our friends. When your friends visit you, you and your friends always sit in the living room and talk about some interesting topics. Don’t you think living room is an important room in your house?

　　Admittedly, other rooms are also very important, we cannot live if we are short of any room. Nevertheless, advantages of living room are more than other rooms. So I would like to choose living room. Do you have the same opinion with me?
