Model Answer:
I found there was a bat nest in my balcony recently, and one night I happened to 
see they flew across the patio under our apartment and hover in the sky. I was 
shocked, because it was dark outside but they knew exactly where to go without 
mistakes. Moreover, they went out only at night. 
I thought bats are interesting not because they can fly in the dark since I know they 
are nocturnal animals. I always think the ability which aids bats fly and 
prey

capture
is their unusual eye-sight, like another
 nocturnal animal
, owls. But the 
truth is because of their 
echolocation
. Bat echolocation is a perceptual system 
where 
ultrasonic sounds
are emitted specifically to produce echoes. By 
comparing the outgoing pulse with the returning echoes the brain and auditory 
nervous system can produce detailed images of the bat's surroundings. This 
allows bats to detect, localize and even classify their prey in complete darkness. 
 
Describe a meal you had your friends or family (in someone's home or in

who organized this meal 
where you had it 
what you talked about during the meal 
what you ate and drank

Model Answer
The meal I really enjoyed with my friends was the one when we graduated from 
high school three years ago. 
We had it in July, when we just graduated. One of my best friends Monica 
organized it. She reserved our favourite restaurant which was just two blocks away 
from our school. It served traditional Chinese food and we all enjoyed it so much.

We often had birthday parties together there, so it was the perfect place for us to, 
you know, say goodbye to our high school and start a new life. 
The food there, like I just said, was very popular. We had a lot of amazing dishes, 
including MapoTofu, vegetable soup and fried rice. The yummiest one was Kung 
Pao Chicken, we ordered the super spicy one, and it was crazy hot. 
During the dinner, we talked about our future, you know, the university we were 
going to, the new life we would have in a couple of months. We even came to an 
agreement that every July, we would come back to the restaurant and had a dinner 
together. We all made it so far. I mean, we’ve already had two dinners together.
