8.He says that unless a family has been wealthy for many generations, people suspect that their money was acquired dishonestly.

These are open-ended discussion questions with no “correct” or “incorrect” answers — anything grammatical that shows understanding of the target vocabulary is excellent. Please make sure the students understand that this exercise is an opportunity for them to practice their English as they feel is appropriate and useful for them. Their answers can be whole paragraphs, or just single sentences; and/or they can produce several different short answers to each question — it's up to them. The only requirement is that they use at least one of the vocabulary items in each sentence they write (and that the sentences make some kind of sense!).

对一个外国人来说,身在美国可能是一次奇特的经历.在国外7年以后—4年在法国,3年在波兰,我和妻子于一月份到达美国.从杂乱的初步印象中,我们编了一套从A到Z的解释,来说明为什么对那些从欧洲到这里的人来说,美国会是这样陌生的一个国家.我应该一开始就说明我是一个英国人,但在佛罗里达出生的我的妻子莉萨却是个如苹果馅饼般地道的美国人.不过,在我们列出的清单中,A并不代表苹果馅饼.它代表的是：雄心（Ambition）.在旧大陆中,人们受的教育是要掩饰它.在这儿,宣称你在追求老板的职位或者想在30岁以前赚上100万美元,并没有什么不合适.

Some Differences between Families in China and America
There are some very striking differences between families in China and America.One difference is that Chinese children always take care of their old parents. If they don't take care of them, friends and colleagues will gossip about them. Chinese society condemns this kind of behavior, and sometimes newspapers even write about children who neglect their old parents. But in the United States, adult children often put their parents in nursing homes, and this is seen as an acceptable (if not entirely desirable) thing to do.Another difference is that Chinese parents sacrifice everything for their children, and they are very stern with them. Parents put a lot of pressure on their children to study hard. They think that studying will make the children successful. In fact, many teenagers study long hours a day and are not allowed to date. But in the United States, parents think their own lives are as important as their children's lives. They have more freedom, and they give their children more freedom too. Parents let their children stay alone or relax after school, and they think it's natural for their teenagers to date. (189 words)
