英语角-圆桌会议 RoundTable1105 - 三级医院或取消普通门诊

 Topic1-Tertiary Hospitals May Cancel General Outpatient ServiceTertiary hospitals or top hospitals in China will accept less general outpatients and may gradually phase out outpatient service. Will this move ease the difficulties in seeing a good doctor?

Topic2-Ability of Becoming HappyChinese people's ability of achieving happiness has been encapsulated in a recent report. Apparently¹, Chinese women are happier than men, and those in marriage are happier than those in love. Do you agree with its findings?

Topic3-Lack of Incentive² for Chinese Uni Students to Improve EnglishAccording to a report conducted by an English teaching agency, Chinese college students' English proficiency³ is weaker than that of middle school students and working professionals alike. Is it true? Do Chinese college students lack an incentive to improve their English skills?

Topic4-Bikini Models Get Buttocks Scanned in Promotional ActivityA group of bikini-clad models caused chaos⁴ on the streets of Jianwai SOHO in Beijing, by encouraging people to scan their buttocks with a smartphone. Is it appropriate to use such a sexually explicit⁵ method for marketing⁶?
