1 The recent development of fintech cellular applications enabling mobile
payment has been widely embraced for use in our daily lives. Analysts in the finance and
banking sectors of the economy have predicted that this has signaled the
end of the traditional wallet, which represents the physical transfer of money.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion and could it mean the end of
physical money?
2 Financial technology or fintech as it is commonly known, describes
new technology innovations and applications in the finance sector, and is said to be a
major disrupter of traditional financial models of delivering financial services.
It is therefore an are of massive focus in the entrepreneurship and business start-‐up
space. List a few major applications of fintech in our daily lives and how there are able to
influence the way we live.
3 With the development of financial technology, people’s life has change a lot. Mobile
payment is a typical application of financial technology, such as Alipay, Weixin and so on.
People who go out don’t need carry cash. They can go shopping and take a bus just by
scanning a two-dimensional code. The emergence of mobile payment has provided great
convenience for people.
4 Financial technology or fintech, is the application of digital technology
to financial transactions occurring in most sectors of the economy. It is
a phenomenon growing extremely rapidly within the global financial system
and has focused attention of a wide range of potential customers. What
do you foresee as being the main trends in the future of fintech and
its major challenges?
5 The application and widespread use of artificial intelligence is
developing rapidly. Some people have postulated that its development will
ultimately result in its surpassing of human intelligence which is already happening in
many fields, and lead to a revolution in human affairs. These people believe therefore
that we should control or regulate its development. Are you to a certain
extent in agreement with this viewpoint or not? Explain you own position
in this regard
6 Artificial intelligence surpasses that of human intelligence in many domains. It has
been programmed to master a variety of games, such as chess and
poker, winning against its champion human counterparts. It has long ago
supplanted humans in activities involving calculations, and is dominating
manufacturing processes more and more in the form of robots. Do you have any concerns
that the further development of artificial intelligence will result in its replacing human
intelligence and driving human out of many of their7 Artificial intelligence is the development of computer systems to
perform tasks, usually or previously requiring human intelligence. Some
concerns have been raised as to where this development is
leading us when considering the noticeable effects on employment in
certain categories of work. What are currently its main applications as it affects our
daily lives and how is it influencing the way we live now and in the near future?

9 In recent years, the public has become increasingly concerned over the issue of food
safety. Scandals such as finding the presence of melamine, an organic base chemical
used in plastics, in milk powder, and Sudan Red, a carcinogenic colorant
used to dye solvents and petrol, in sauces for KFC products, has naturally
caused widespread public fear. Food products, traders in food products as well as
the Chinese government have variously been blamed for the occurrence of this crisis.
In your opinion, who should be accountable for this situation.
10 In China, a number of large scale food safety scandals arising from food
contamination or deliberate addition of carcinogenic dyes or other dangerous non-food
additives have made the public fearful of locally produced foodstuffs. This has resulted in
a growing distrust of domestic food products. It has also increased public preference for
foods imported from overseas food producers who are regarded as models of food safety,
to the detriment of local agriculture and the local food industry. To what extent do you
agree or disagree with this opinion?

12 The process of nuclear power generation releases relatively low amounts of the
compounds found in greenhouse gases in comparison of power generated from other
energy resources, particularly coal and oil. It also has a larger power
generating capacity relative to the materials consumed. Nuclear
power is therefore an ideal source of power. To what extent do you agree or disagree with
this opinion?
13 As a result of the regulatory measures imposed on ageing nuclear plants by
governments, owing to the risk to the population in the event of a
nuclear accident, they are often required to retire them earlier than their
designed lifespan. However, as nuclear plants provide carbon-‐free
energy, the premature ' shutdowns often result in adverse effects on climate change, as
they are replaced by coal or oil energy sources. You are required to propose solutions to
this dilemma.

16 Global warming is a problem that is increasingly haunting human beings. Some people
are suggests that instead of trying to prevent it, we should just find a way of living with it. Is
this a feasible option and to what extent do you agree with this proposal?
17 Global warming poses an ever-increasing threat to our planet as governments fail to
take the steps necessary to sufficiently address the situation. In order to contain this threat,
we need to limit greenhouse gas emissions and deliberately slow the economic growth
rate in the word. Explain why you agree or disagree with these suggestions.
