一、DAY 14 题目解析：
PART 1
Numbers
1. Are you good at remembering numbers?
事实性问题，有扩展地回答即可。
I'm definitely not good at remembering numbers. The thing is, I’ve never been sensitive to numbers and I've got a poor memory. I find remembering numbers really difficult and boring.
2. Do you often use numbers at work or study?
根据自己的情况回答即可。
No, I don't. I am a college student and I major in law. What I learn is hardly related to numbers so I do not deal with numbers in my study.
3. What is you favorite number?
可以直接告诉考官你喜欢的数字并加上原因；也可以直接告诉考官你并没有特别喜欢的数字，因为对你而言它们只是用来计算的工具而已，没有特殊含义。
My favorite number is definitely eight. In my culture, this number represents fortune, and who doesn’t like money, right?
4. Do numbers have special meanings in your country?
数字在中国的文化里肯定是有特殊意义的。给出肯定回答后再举一两个例子即可。
Yes, they do. Actually, Chinese people are pretty superstitious. In our traditions, many numbers have special meanings. For instance, the number 6 is considered auspicious because it symbolizes good luck.
Cakes
1. Do you like sweet food?
喜好题。
喜欢：口感好；吃甜食心情好等。
不喜欢：甜的东西太腻；会长胖等。
Yes, I do. I especially love chocolate. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I would have some chocolate. It always picks me up right away.
2. Have you made any desserts or cakes?
事实性问题，有扩展地回答即可。
Actually, I once tried to make cakes. My cousin taught me how to do that, but it was an epic failure. I was too careless and the cakes tasted really weird.
3. What desserts do people in your country like?
这道题可以分情况讨论，比如年轻人喜欢西方点心，老年人喜欢传统点心。也可以说中国太大了各地喜欢的点心各不相同，或者因为你不是点心爱好者，所以你并不知道大部分人喜欢什么样的点心；还可以说我们中国人可能压根儿就不喜欢吃点心。
Actually, people in my country do not like desserts. In traditional Chinese meals, desserts are usually not a part. The dishes we like are usually pretty salty.
4. Do people usually have desserts after dinner?
问法不同，答题思路其实和上题差不多。比如分情况讨论（西方和东方）
As far as I know, people in the West usually have desserts after dinner while people in Asia hardly have this habit. So I guess, it varies from region to region.
PART2
Describe a person who taught you something
You should say
Who this person is
What he or she taught you
How this person taught you
And explain how felt about him/her
这道题很贴近生活，我们从小到大肯定遇到过很多教你的人。如果不知道从何下手，可以从校园（学科知识、一些技能比如驾驶和钢琴等）、工作（上司或同事）以及家人朋友等。这些人都可以作为开展话题很好的素材。
My mom taught me cooking when I was about 14 years old, and I'm still grateful that she did. It turns out that cooking is really important in my life. When my mom first talked to me about learning to cook, I was actually reluctant to do it because I didn't think it would be very necessary. I just thought that it's really convenient to order in nowadays. But my mom told me that learning to cook is actually incredibly important because food cooked in restaurants may not always be very clean and healthy.
My mom was actually a very good teacher. She taught me cooking step by step. Firstly she took me to the supermarket and taught me about grocery shopping. Then when we got back home, she taught me how to prepare ingredients and how to properly use different kinds of condiments. Over a period of about four months, she taught me about 20 dishes. She had always been very patient. She explained how it worked every step of the way, and when I failed and got frustrated, she always gave me pep talks to encourage me to try again. Now I can cook pretty well and I have actually fallen in love with cooking. Because of my skills, I can cook myself various healthy and tasty dishes, I can cook for my family and friends which, by the way, is pretty fulfilling.
What’s more, being able to cook by myself also means that I do not have to eat out or order out regularly, which saves me quite a few bucks. So I am very grateful that my mom taught me how to cook.
Describe a time you helped someone
You should say
Who you helped
How you helped him or her
Why you helped him or her
And explain how this person benefited from your help
因为这道题大家太容易说得雷同了，所以建议大家说一些不容易撞的独特内容。比如你在支付宝上用“蚂蚁庄园”攒“鸡蛋”，用这种独特的方式帮助了需要帮助的人（类似的还有水滴筹等）；再比如你建议你身边的单身狗朋友换了个发型，结果让他顺利脱单。
At the end of last semester, all the students in my class started working on the paper. The deadline was approaching and everybody was really stressed.
Well, I had quite a lot of inspirations, so I didn't have much trouble writing things. Mostly importantly, I started off the work pretty soon, so I was able to finish the job with the sufficient time I’d got.
But it was a different story for my roommate. She got stuck. She just had no idea what to write in her paper. She felt like she couldn't produce anything. She went to the library every day and sat there for hours, looking through a ton of books. And yet she still could not write anything. She was so upset that she told me what was bothering her. I then offered to help her.
I first recommended we have an in-depth discussion about the theme of the paper. During our discussions, I raised a lot of questions, I challenged her arguments and my words actually inspired her. Our conversations got her thinking and eventually she got enough ideas for writing her paper.
Once she officially started writing, she was in need of many reference books, but she was running out of time. Considering how time-consuming it would be, I helped her get those books from the library.
Eventually with my help, she finished the paper before the deadline. She thanked me profusely for my help and even treated me to a nice dinner!
