跟其他抽象话题一样，考生在回答该类话题时， patience 的重复使用率高，而同类词如enduring, tolerant 等则储备严重不足。同时，部分考生没有结合实例回答问题或者因为对“耐心”的理解有偏差，导致所举事例偏离主题，如：
—How can people be patient?
—Well, if you want to cultivate patience, you really have to try hard. For example, you should be very positive in your life.
Q: Is it important to be patient? [Why/Why not?]
A: It is essential to be patient, especially in our nation, due to the large population in most areas. For instance, it is fundamental to be tolerant when waiting for food in a restaurant during peak hours or lining up in a long queue to buy a train ticket. Patience makes our society more pleasant, specifically since impatient people tend to get easily angry at others.
耐心是很重要的，尤其是在我们国家，因为大多数地区人口众多。例如，在高峰时间在餐馆等待食物或排队买火车票时，忍耐是最基本的。耐心让我们的社会更令人愉快，尤其是因为没有耐心的人容易对别人生气。

Q: Is it easy to be patient? [Why/Why not?]

However, it is a great exercise for us to improve our endurance.
