Topic 1-Audi commercial lambasted for comparing women to used cars
China's social media bristled 1 this week at an Audi commercial that likened women to used cars. The commercial, featuring a middle-aged 2 woman grabbing her daughter-in-law-to-be by the nose and chin to inspect whether she has had cosmetic 3 surgery, was criticized for being sexist.
Is sexism so rampant 4 that commercial makers 5 are nonchalant about it? What makes a good, memorable 6 commercial?

Topic2-Handwritten university acceptance letters show respect for traditional culture
For 11 years in a row, retired 7 professors from Shaanxi Normal University have been sticking to the tradition of writing admission letters by hand for every incoming freshman 8.
