Nowadays, WeChat's functions of Shake-Shake and Drift Bottle allow users to randomly connect to other users close by. However, it is reported that most users aren't aware of the potential risks brought about by WeChat's positioning function when they use it to socialize with strangers. What do you think of WeChat? Should we give up using it for its potential risks? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and then give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES WeChat's positioning function may bring potential risks to young people when they socialize with strangers. No one can deny the fact that it is very dangerous to let strangers know clearly our location since we do not know who they are and what they might do. In addition, the image and name of WeChat's ID can be changed randomly. Criminals can change their images and names into yours and then it is quite possible for your friends to be cheated. What's more, the wallet function of WeChat may bring about potential financial risks. Criminals may make use of these functions and steal the money in your WeChat wallet. NO It is unnecessary to say no to WeChat just because of the so-called "risks". If we have to abandon WeChat because of its positioning function, then in that case , a large number of applications with similar functions have to be abandoned as well, which sounds unreasonable and unrealistic. In addition, the "risks" depend on how we make use of WeChat. As an adult, we have the ability to judge in which case it is safe to utilize the positioning function.

{{B}}PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION{{/B}}
Some believe that in the age of identikit computer games, mass entertainment and conformity on the supermarket shelves, truly inspired thinking has gone out of the window. But, there are others who hold the view that there is still plenty of scope for innovation, lateral thought and creative solutions. Despite the standardisation of modern life, there is an unabated appetite for great ideas, visionary thinking and inspired debate. In the first of a series of monthly debates on contemporary issues, we ask two original thinkers to discuss the nature of creativity. Here is the first one. Yes. Absolutely. Since I started working as an inventor 10 or 12 years ago, I've seen a big change in attitudes to creativity and invention. Back then, there was hardly any support for inventors, apart from the national organisation the Institute of Patentees and Inventors. Today, there are lots of little inventors' clubs popping up all over the place, my last count was 19 nationally and growing. These non-profit clubs, run by inventors for inventors, are an indication that people are once again interested in invention. I've been a project leader, a croupier, an IT consultant and I've written a motor manual. I spent my teens under a 1950s two-tone Riley RME car, learning to put it together. Back in the Sixties, kids like me were always out doing things, making go-karts, riding bicycles or exploring. We learned to overcome challenges and solve problems. We weren't just sitting at a PlayStation, like many kids do today. But I think, and hope, things are shifting back. There's a lot more interest in design and creativity and such talents are getting a much higher profile in the media. It's evident with TV programmes such as Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge or BBC 2's The Apprentice and Dragon's Den, where people are given a task to solve or face the challenge of selling their idea to a panel. And, thankfully, the image of the mad scientist with electrified hair working in the garden shed is long gone—although, there are still a few exceptions! That's not to say there aren't problems. With the decline in manufacturing we are losing the ability to know how to make things. There's a real skills gap developing. In my opinion, the government does little or nothing to help innovation at the lone-inventor or small or medium enterprise level. I would love to see more money spent on teaching our school kids how to be inventive. But, despite everything, if you have a good idea and real determination, you can still do very well. My own specialist area is packaging closures—almost every product needs it. I got the idea for Squeezeopen after looking at an old tin of boot polish when my mother complained she couldn't get the lid off. If you can do something cheaper, better, and you are 100 per-cent committed, there is a chance it will be a success. I see a fantastic amount of innovation and opportunities out there. People don't realise how much is going on. New materials are coming out all the lime and the space programme and scientific research are producing a variety of spin-offs. Innovation doesn't have to be high-tech: creativity and inventing is about finding the right solution to a problem, whatever it is. There's a lot of talent out there and, thankfully, some of the more progressive companies are suddenly realising they don't want to miss out—it's an exciting time.
