  Describe a big company you are interested in.
  You should say:
  What is the company called
  How did you know this company
  What kind of business this company does
  What kinds of interesting activities does the company have.
  這一題讓你說到您感興趣的big company，包括之前題庫中出現過的small successful company，其實都可以用到相似的素材。最簡單的思路就是你把你所從事的領域或是專業里面比較有名的公司說出來即可，不建議同學一直說蘋果、微軟、阿里巴巴等公司，原因嘛，還是一樣，太多人說已經被說爛了。所以在這里，沒有必要一定要說考官聽過的知道的公司，我們可以直接說出公司的名字，加上which is的定語從句去修飾到底這個公司是做什么的就可以啦。他讓我們說big company我們就說這是一家跨國企業multinational corporation，他讓我們說一家小而成功的公司那就更簡單了，哪怕我隨便編一個公司名字，我在定語從句中補充一下這個公司雖然規模比較小，但是比較成功取得了很大的進步不就可以了。要記住，考官不會真的去Google你說的那家公司是否真實存在，是否達到成功的標準，他主要看的還是你語言組織與表述的能力。
  那這一題的難點之一還在于其最后一個問題，問道What kinds of interesting activities does the company have?公司哪些活動比較有趣。很多人就想不出來了，這樣怎么說呢?大部分人想到的還是很俗套的什么組織旅游啦，開年會啦。這些當然可以，但是在這里給大家推薦一個本人親身經歷過比較特別又很好說的一個activity。之前工作的外企會有一個傳統叫做“Happy Hour”，也就是每周五下午下班前一個小時。在這一個小時內，所有員工放下一切工作，聚到一起休息放松。公司會免費準備提供一些零食飲料，吃的喝的，并且大家還可以表演節目，相互聊聊天，一次來放松并且增進感情。這樣的活動由于是內部活動，所以基本上所有的公司你都可以給他說有一個這樣的活動，只要你表述的流利清晰，考官一定不會質疑你的!所以針對這一部分，給同學大概做了一小段的sample answer，大家可以參考一下：

  But what impress me the most is the interesting activity in this company. For instance, there is a tradition called "Happy hour". Every Friday afternoon, between 3-4 o'clock, all the stuff need to have a rest and gather together to have fun. And the company always provides us some tasty food or delicious drinks free for us. Sometimes, there are some funny shows for us to entertain ourselves. In this happy hour, we can have a relaxation. You know, in the daily work, we are under the huge pressure. So during this one hour, we can fully release our burden, like, just chatting with others, playing some games and enjoying ourselves. Therefore, I believe that this activity is definitely interesting and meaningful. We can not only relax ourselves in order to increase our working efficiency, but also boost the friendship between all of our colleagues.
