英语口语考试话题及材料
The Importance of Self-confidence Confidence, in a broad sense, comprises self-trust, self-esteem and courage .This d efinition is not sufficient. But it is able to describe the real meaning of it. As we known, self-confidence is accompanied by will, and as a twin, offers hope. Those who do not have a strong will often think themselves unable to carry out any dif ficult tasks, In fact, when our heart is void of self-confidence, every hope is gone,. For instance, according to experts, every year in the entrance examinations of all kinds, fu lly-prepared candidates lose nearly 5％to 10％of the full scores, and consequently me et their fail simply because they underestimate their own abilities, and overestimate the difficulties. As a result, their fear to meet new challenge leads to failure in the examin ation. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work harder than before. Set your own goal and trace on it, make a small progress one day, a month later it will be a big difference. People fail not because the task is difficult, but for they give up themselves in the half way. Self-confidence can be improved by building faith in yourself .we all know that what ever you do, you will encounter hardships. The success will come to you if you are co urageous enough to strive for it. What is success? When we are talking about success, mostly the first image comes into our mind is the man with high social status, and a lot of property. Most people believe that is succ ess and all that they do is only for this purpose. What is real success? Different people have different opinions on this question. Is i t fortune success? Is it fame success? Is it high social status success? My answer is not. To be clear about what is success must be the first step to achieving success. To be a football player，scoring on the field is success. To be a soldier, killing the enemy is success. for us, during the exam, getting a high score is success. So far, the best definition I have concluded that Success is achieving something int ended. In other words success is accomplish what you planned to do. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work harder than before. Set your own goal and trace on it, make a small progress one day, a month later it will be a big difference. People fail not because the task is difficult, but for they give up themselves in the half way. There is a saying goes like "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what kee
托福口语Task1四类话题整合及思路整理
托福口语Task1四类话题整合及思路整理 托福口语当中，task 1，2作为independent tasks，是很多考生比较头疼的问题。虽然它相较于后面的integrated tasks来说形式简单，给你一句话的题目直接说出你的思路即可，但是它所涉及到的知识面是非常广泛的，甚至会涉及到我们之前完全没有思考过的领域，甚至是不熟悉的领域。这就要求着我们在复习的时候对于不同话题的思路整理，包括相似话题的整合、以及陌生话题的思路扩展。 Task 1无非就是让我们描述一个与我们生活息息相关的一些事物，我们较为常见的一些话题可以简单来说归纳为四个字母——“OPPE”，及O(object), P(person), P(place), E(event)。 一、object类话题 根据以往常出的题目总结来看，object往往可以分为tangible object(有形物体)以及intangible object(无形无体)。 Tangible object，顾名思义我们能够看得见摸得着的实物，除了一些比较常规的special gift，meaning object之外，还包括出题者最爱考的一些关于book类的话题，即让我们描述最喜欢看的、或是读过的最有意义的一本书。另外，较为常见的一些题目还包括描述a song, a film, a painting, a photograph等题目。在这样的题目当中，很多同学因为不知道要说什么或是不熟悉这样的事物导致完全说不出或是表述不流利，结结巴巴说不到重点。在遇到此类题目，一个比较简单的思路就是不要纠结于一些大家都要知道的名著，我们完全可以从自己比较熟悉的一些话题展开，如自己画的第一幅全家福。另外，尽量避免每个人都在讲的一些话题，比如大部分人都在说《Harry Potter》，那我们如果换成《How to win friends》会不会好很多呢?一定不要给自己挖坑，怎么便于表述怎么来。 至于intangible object，较为常考的有让我们去描述positive invention，favorite subject，important characteristic等话题。在这里还是一样，就我们容易表述的说，每个想法列出两个关键词，再去展开就可以了，在这里表述以简单易懂为主，千万不要说一些高深曲折的大道理。掌握了这些素材之后，object类题目就没问题了。所以建议在考试之前，先把所有可能会考到的题目先过一遍，想到要说什么就已经成功了一半了。 二、person类话题 Person类话题在task 1的考试中形式不多，总结起来无非两类人，一种是我们比较熟悉的在我们身边的人，例如family member, best friend, favorite teacher, an old person you respect 等，由于这些都是我们较为熟悉的，所以比较容易想到，在表述的时候也较为简单。相对来说会有一定难度的就是第二类人——famous person名人了。在task 1，它有可能让你去描述一位你钦佩、喜欢或是想见面的名人，甚至给你规定一定领域。这是如果碰到一些不关注这一领域的就不太好说了。比如一些女生平时对体育不感兴趣，但考试的时候让你去描述一个你最喜欢的足球选手，那可能一下子就懵圈了。但是遇到这样的题目也不用怕，在我们备考时完全可以提前准备好相关素材，在考试的时候也不是任何领域都会考我们，常见的也就actor/actress, singer, spotsman, business man, leader这几类，所以就算我们不喜欢不感兴趣，只要我每个领域都想出来一个人就完全没有问题啦。 在这里给到两个我们凡事涉及到人都非常通用的一些素材思路，一是表述ta在专业领域上的卓越表现。比如ta是歌手，我们说ta歌唱得好，是演员我们说ta演技精湛，是商人我们说ta把公司
高考英语核心突破(作文题型)

This image indicates a
common phenomenon in a funny way that students today are forced to take too many lessons after school. As far as I am concerned, taking one or two lessons after school is acceptable and will improve our ability. But overtaking extra lessons really does no good to students. First of all, after studying hard on weekdays, most students are quite exhausted and need a break at weekends. However, many of them are robbed of the chance to relax themselves. Long-term working may cause them to have difficulty concentrating on their studies and may even affect their daily life. On the other hand, are those students interested in the after-school lessons or just forced by their parents? If they are not willing to learn, they won’t try their best to obtain the knowledge and skills. It’s a waste of time, and money. Last but not least, some tutorial centers are not as qualified as expected. They just care about making money but pay little attention to teaching. I’m afraid that students who enroll in the courses won’t learn what they want to learn. To sum up, taking lessons after school is a way to help students study better, but it shouldn’t be a burden. What really works is not those lessons but your own efforts. (235 words) Exercise Two应用类 某高中校方在全校征求学生建议。李佳给校长写了封信，建议学校培养学生学习能力，以提高他们在这个信息爆炸的世界上的竞争力。同时建议学校组建学生俱乐部，学生得以展露才华，培养兴趣，获得更多的生存能力。 参考范文 Dear Headmaster, I am most pleased to learn that our school is seeking students' suggestions on how to make our school life better. I am writing this letter to share with you my suggestions. First of all. our school should lay more emphasis on cultivating students' learning methods. As the saying goes, teachers should not only pass on knowledge to students but also teach them how to study. In a world of information explosion, if students can he equipped with independent learning skills, no doubt they can have an advantage in this increasingly competitive world. In addition, students' after school life can never be overlooked. Our school should set up more clubs where students can display their talents and acquire some survival skills such as how to get along with others and how to be a team player. Allowing for more leisure time means that students can devote more time pursuing their interests and hobbies, which may well turn out to be a welcome supplement to their beautiful life later. Thank you for spending your precious time reading my letter and I hope my suggestions can be of some help. Best wishes, Li Jia Exercise There 议论类 现在高中学生申请出国的现象非常普遍。人们对此看法不一。请谈谈你对此事的看法。 参考范文： Nowadays, it is very common for high school students t apply to foreign universities for admission. The phenomenon has aroused heated discussion among students and opinions on it vary from individual to individual. Some people are in favour of the practice, saying it helps it broaden their horizons, while others are strongly opposed to it. They argue that it is purely a waste of money. As for me, there are both merits and demerits lying in the debatable problem. On one hand, the expense of learning abroad is beyond what an average family can afford. Many parents will

Possible versions I’d like to say something about my best friend Lily, who is optimistic and crazy about flowers. There was a potted plant in our school. Every morning, after getting to school, Lily would walk to the plant and enjoy its loveliness. When asked why, she answered that because the plant needed her praise. With the daily praises and tender loving care, the plant bloomed at last. So did Lily’s face. The flowers brought Lily satisfaction because of the wonders of their beauty, and she delivered the happiness to all of us. With a kind and rosy heart, Lily makes everyone around her comfortable.

正能量作文素材
正能量作文素材 正能量作文素材 1、在那段泪水冲刷的日子里，本应放弃，却坚强地挺过来了。因为总有那么一些人，那些爱我的人，那些对我好的人，让我坚信，即使全世界都放弃了我，只要他们还在默默支持我，我就不该轻言放弃，只要还有爱的存在，我就应该勇敢地走下去。阳光总在风雨后，阴云上总会有晴空。珍惜人生中的每一段岁月，无论它是充满悲苦，还是充满欢欣，那都是你成长的印证。曾经的伤痛，曾经的欣喜在追忆中幻化成永恒的旋律，穿透时空，超越爱与恨的界限，诠释着人生经历中最真实的感悟，最真诚的心声。 2、生命的真谛在于不屑的奋斗与追求，生命的价值在于一次次失败中的从新站立与起程，并非每一颗星星都会辉煌，并不是每一次付出都会有收获，并不是每一回奋斗都会成功，面对生活中的每一块顽石，我们都要尽力去清除；生活永远是美好的，即使你拥有不了太阳，你还可以拥有月亮；即使你不能摘得月亮，你还有星星为你闪光。生活不需要我们悲观失望，生活只要求我们乐观坚强。积极、乐观、坚强、向上、拼搏、奋斗。中国将因我们而强壮，世界将因我们而精彩。 3、鲜花和掌声从来不会赐予守株待兔者，而只馈赠给那些风雨无阻的前行者；空谈和阔论从来不会让你的梦想成真，到头来只会留
下“白了少年头，空悲切”的慨叹；只有风雨无阻的前行才是到达成功彼岸的唯一路途。只呐喊而不冲锋的不是好士兵，只瞄准而不射击的不是好猎手，躺在摇篮里的婴儿永远不会站立而行，把自己关在黑暗的屋子里永远不会看到外面的世界的光明和精彩！只有风雨无阻的前行才不会浪费我们宝贵的光阴，让生命之树结满丰硕的果实；只有风雨无阻的前行，才会向我们理想的目标靠近。从而有机会和成功握手；只有风雨无阻的前行，我们才会创造崭新的自我，让执着的追求书写无愧的人生！ 4、朋友，也许你航行了终生也没有到达彼岸；也许你攀登了一世，也没有到达颠峰；也许所有的耕耘都没有收获；也许所有的汗水都白白地挥洒……但是，敢为天下先的，未必不是勇士；敢于面对失败的，未必不是英雄。人生其实就是一个过程，不必太在乎奋斗的结果，奋斗了就应问心无愧；生命其实就是一次播种，播种了不一定都有结果；但不播种却永远不会结果。所有的退却都是逃避的借口，所有的徘徊都是懦弱的外现。其实真正的启程，才是坚强的证明和诠释。“不怕慢，就怕站”。只要你迈步，路就会在脚下延伸；只要你上路，就会发现诱人的风景；只要你启程，就会体会到跋涉的快乐。 5、不要因为我们曾经跌倒，就再也不愿站起来而忘记赶路，到头来只会使自己一无所有；不要因为前方一路风雨，就犹豫、徘徊、畏缩不前，到头来只会使充满希望的生命之花凋谢枯萎；不要因为往昔的辉煌而忘乎所以，沉湎其中而不能自拔，到头来只会使如火的激
