Items 1-8 are fromCollege English Integrated Course 2(大学英语综合教程第二册)1. What are the differences between Chinese and American learning ways? Which one do you prefer, why?Chinese learning way is show children exactly what to do or how to do, and teaching by holding children’s hand. American learning way is making children learn to think by himself, to solve problems on his own and even to discover new problems, for which creative solutions are wanted. It’s value originality and independence more than the Chinese do.In my perspective, I prefer tradition Chinese learning way. There are two reasons for it. First, children can come back for more and happier. He can know the solution immediately and learn effetely. Second, I was taught by this tradition Chinese way, and I think my learning ability is well now.2. How do you comment on Karl Green's way of life? Give your reasons.Karl Green lives in a modest apartment, wears suitable cloth and has a dependable 1999 car. Though he is not rich, his life is colorful. First, he has a very healthy living condition, he exercises every day and feels vigorous and spirited. His “can do” attitude makes him healthy. Second, he has a very colorful mantle world. He writes poetry and shares it with friends. And he has many friends in the same hobbies. Third, he is devoting himself to charity. He rings the bell for the people who need help. He helps a lot of people and feels connect. He is psychological satisfaction.3. What do you think causes the generation gap, and how to solve this problem? Several reasons can account for this common phenomenon. Firstly, the gap between p arents and teenagers is a little big. That’s to say, parents are mutual and old-fashioned while teenagers are quite active,passive and in style. Therefore, it’s normal that parent s and teenagers are both very hard to find the common language. Second, the most important reason is that parents and teenagers are usually not trying to under stand each other. Just like Heidi’s father get with on his children.Thirdly, the children want to be more independent, but the parents still want to take children under their wings. I think we should build a bridge between parents and children. The can have a family meeting and exchange each side’s opinion, communicating and to have an agreement.Parents can also observe their children’s behavior in order to understand their children’s personality and reduce the quarrels between them.In conclusion, to have a close relationship between parents and children, it is rather important for eachside to respect and understand another.4. What do you do on the Internet nowadays? Do you think Internet has changed your life for the better? Why or why not? There is a big influence of technique on our daily life. I use internet to do some shopping, and chat with friends through QQ. It's convenient to search the information online.I take the view that the Internet has changed our life for the better. The Internet is freely available, universal communication. It is access to all the knowledge and learning of the entire world. It is an instant, free service which provides you with news, media, and knowledge, no matter where you go or what you do. The Internet affects everyone in the same way - it gives them more tools for faster communication, gives them more knowledge for smarter decisions, and gives them more people for a greater social network. These are all good things. Of course internet has some disadvantages, as it is a tool for quickly spreading misinformation, fear, and lies.In conclusion, we should take the advantage of the benefit of the Internet while av oiding negative effects.5. What roles do dreaming and hard work play in one’s success? Give some examples to explain. Dreaming is our hope ,it can lead us to know what to do, and then one must work hard to aim at what himself need, so that one can be a successful person. Land work is of great importance for a man to do everything.Do you know Nick? A man who was born without neither arms nor legs due to a rare disorder, he is disabled, unable to hug people, he ld someone’s hand, dance, walk, r an, or even touch. But he had a dream, he wants to do everything as a healthy man can, he tried very hard to achieve his dream, he learned to write using the two toes on his left foot, learned how to type on a computer, throw tennis balls, swim, and pretty much everything he needs for mobility. Finally, he succeeds.6. Can women be as successful as men in the society? Why or why not?In my perspective, women can be as successful as men in society. Today, there are a lot of women in top management positions, and there are many opportuniti es for women who are interested in have a career. Now many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering. Many scientists in many fields are also female. It may safely draw conclusion that women can do the same things as man can.If women have the same rights as men, they can also become a social backbone j ust like a man do.7. What do you think has made English “the first truly global language”?The UK was the first industrialized nation, and discovered that one of the advantages to this was that they could colonize the rest of the developing world far faster than other European countries could. The British Empire covered a quarter of the globe at its largest, including North America, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, much of West and Southern Africa, South Asia, and parts of South-East Asia. The UK set up English-speaking systems of government, industry, and exploitation in these areas, which established English as the language of global power in the industrial era. The USA's cultural, economic, political, and military domination of the 20th and 21st centuries has ensured that English remains the mostimportant and influential global language. As the official language of business, science, diplomacy, communications, and IT (not to mention the main language of the most popular websites), this is unlikely to change any time soon.8. What should we do to protect our environment?Government should pass laws to prevent the environment from being further polluted, and laws controlling pollution must be strictly enforced. People should work hard to find ways to keep the earth clean: they treat waste gases, protect water sources and purify waste water. controlling the increase of population is also one of the most efficient ways. And above all, attention should be paid to the education of the people so that everyone will show his concern about environmental protectionItems 9-16 are fromNew Horizon College English--Speaking, Listening and Viewing (Book II)(新视野大学英语视听说)9. Please tell me some kinds of music. Do you like any of them? Why or why not?I know classical musical, pop music, folk music, jazz music and blues music.I like classical music, is supposed to be good for people’s brain. Research suggest that it makes people’s brain more active. Students who listen to classical music while studying perform better. I also fond of pop music. pop music is lively, and suits me at my age. What I mean to say is that youngsters like to listen to music that fits in with the way we feel. And, it usually has a good rhythm. pop music is simple to understand, and make me relax. I don’t like jazz music because its noisy. Folk music and blues music is not my style.10. What types of movie do you like? Why? Briefly introduce one of your favorite movies.I like comedy. Because it makes me laugh happily and I will forget about the annoyance. Watching comedy is a good way to relax, it helps me to keep the good mood.My favorite film is "Kung Fu Panda".The story was great and the background was beautiful, it really felt like an ancient Chinese city. And the meaning behind the story may be even better! The story is about Po, an overweight panda who is the son of a noodle maker, who dreams of Po following in his footsteps. But Po longs to be a ninja fighter. Po is a Sweet but clumsy, bear who hears the news the ancient and long awaited dragon warrior will be named, so he runs (as much as he can) to hear who will be named at the celebration. This is the first movie in a while I'd like to see again.11. Do you believe in love at the first sight? Why or why not?I believe love in love at the first sight.It’s very romantic.People say those who love at first sight are bound to meet each other and that t hey know the other one is to be one of the most important people in their life the first ti me they see each other. Some people say that love at first is not reliable. They think it is careless and abrupt to make the decision without enough consideration. But we should admit that if the personalities of the two persons match each other’s well, they will not reg ret making their decision at first sight. They will keep close relationship and strengthen t heir love as time goes on.12. Can you tell me an ad you like best? Why do like it?It is a Coca Cola commercial which aims at all the cola fans. It shows a guy using a machine, and inside the machine, you see the bottle of coke going all around in an animated world which is about Olympic sports. Finally, the guy says: if you have had a coke in the last 80 years, you have had a hand in making anyone’s Olympic dream come true. Actually, I love all Coca Cola advertisements .For one thing, it is fun. it makes me laugh, For another, it is unique and original. I never saw such a commercial before, so it grab mein right away and gets my attention.13. Should animals be kept in a zoo? Why or why not?I think animal shouldn’t be kept in a zoo .it is immoral for people to catch animals in the wild and then trap them in the cages. Animals will lose their freedom and instinct if they depend on human care. And animals can be healthier in the wild than in the zoos. Please image, if you are kept in a cage, will you be happy? You even couldn’t move in a cage. I think we should let the animals live in the wild and build a nature reserve for them to live.14. Choose one of the following quotations on fashion and talk about it.A. Fashion goes round in circles. --- Siobhan FaheyB. Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom. --- Golda MeirC. Fashion is made to become unfashionable.I like the first sentence ”fashion goes round in circles ”. It means that an old fashion may become popular again after a period of time.They’re ve ry few fashions in music; movies, clothes, etc. are completely new. You can always find similar fashions in the past. In my mother’s time, the Wide leg pant is very popular. And in this year, wide leg pant is return to our view. Just as this sentence goes, fashion goes round in circles.15. How do you think about the proverb “Money is the root of all evils”?It is a common view that money is the root of all evil. The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.Rich people often think money call get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings. So I think the proverb that money is the root of all evil sounds reasonable.16. Give some suggestions about how to prevent crimes.First of all, people should know the law. Know what is crime, what is illegal, do not fall into a wrong path. Secondly, people should abide by the law, not because of personal interests and breaking the law. Then, we should remind people from doing bad things, to see someone do something against the law to stop in time, and to take appropriate means. And government can put on strict laws, law enforcement agency should take proper measures and strict management .May be criminals should be given longer terms in prison.。

大学英语口语考试试题-10个口语话题

(1) 视听说 2 Unit1How does music affect our life?Music greatly affects our personal moods. Music can calm and revitalize us in a variety of ways. It elevates our moods above our personal fears and doubts and even reduces stress and pain levels. Music always exists in our life. Mothers usually sing smoothing songs to make their children get to sleep. At a sports meeting, fast and vigorous songs are played in order to lift athletes up. What’s more, quite a few students prefer to listen to a walkman while they are doing their homework. In a word, putting additional music in our life can be a powerfully enriching tool. (2) 视听说2 Unit2 T oday’s MoviesSeveral things are missing in today's movies: (1) Although there were some good romantic comedies in the 90's, there are very few today that really rival the screwball shows of the 30's and 40's.(2)Now that technical abilities have increased so dramatically with the development of computer graphics, too often special effects take the place of character development and the creation of a desirable and believable alternate world.(3) The element of fantasy is also missing(4)it leads us to star power.(3) 视听说 2 Unit3 Please talk about wedding ceremonies in China and in the U.S. In china, many Chinese believe that marriage is a major event in life, and they choose to spend a lot of money to celebrate it. Usually, the couple invites a large number of guests, who are seated at ten or more dining tables. The bride and the groom toast each other and the guests cheer. The parents of the couple may give speeches to express thanks to each other for bringing up such a nice young man or girl. Also, they wish the couple will love each other for life. The groom and the bride may also thank their parents. Weddings in the u.s vary as much as the people do, but church wedding is popular. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar, the bride and the groom exchange vows, then they exchange rings.(4)Ads in my eyes Every coin has two sides. Ads have positive effects as well as negative effects. On the one hand, through ads, we can know a new product and get information about products to make a choice. On the other hand, the large amounts of money spent on ads, of course, will be passed on consumers. What's more, producers often exaggerate their products. Misleading a lot of people to buy products. It also causes negative social effects. For example, The posters ruin the environment; ads usually encourage unnecessary buying; ads usually portray young and beautiful people, thus older, plain-looking people may feeling as if they do not belong to contemporary world, and so on. (5) 视听说 2 Unit5 What animals are usually kept as pets? Why? Dogs and cats usually kept as pets. Because dogs loyal to their owners and intelligent. They can carry out human instructions and perform fairly complicated functions. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master. Cats are also popular to be kept as pets, because cats have soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, making people like them. What’s more, cats can bring a lot of pleasure to people by funny behaviors.(6) 视听说2 Unit6 Do you think fashion shows are necessary in today’s society? Why or why not?No, I don’t think so. Obviously fashion shows have been around for a long time in a various parts of the world. This fact shows that they are an indispensable part of the modern culture. However, I’d like to point out that the pursuit of fashion should not take up the greater part of our lives. After all, work and study are far more important than fashion shows.(7) 视听说 2 Unit7 What is your opinion of money? In my opinion, money can both benefit people and do harm to them. On the one hand, we can' deny that money is useful. We need money to buy t food, buy a house or pay our education cost. Money can make us live more comfortably. For example, with more money, we can help others and take part in more social activities and receive a good education, thus increasing our knowledge and developing our skills. On the other hand, some people try to get money by dishonest means, for example, they often cheat and gemble, even rob and kill people. Sooner or later, they will be punished by the law. Money can bring them nothing but misery.(8) 视听说 2 Unit8 Why do people commit crimes? What causes are especially important? Why? Many factors contribute to crime, such as poverty, the gap betweenthe rich and the poor, lack of education, emotional outbreaks and loose law enforcement. If one suddenly gets angry, he may be control over himself and injure or even kill people. Uneducated people may not know what punishments there are and go ahead boldly and foolishly. But lack of education is often linked with a lack of money. Poor people mayfeel miserable, and ill-feelings breed crime. Clearly, the widening gap between the rich and the poor plays a significant role in crime levels. Some people may commit crimes because of emotional outbreaks. Such people need a strong government and strict low enforcement to help them think twice before they leap. T o conclude, the gap between the rich and the poor and loose law enforcement may be especially important cause of crime.。

2015级二下口试话题Topic 1: A Logical Fallacy I Have Committed1) Define the concept of logic fallacy;2) Talk about a logical fallacy you have committed;3) Why is it a fallacy ? and what caused it?Topic 2: The Pursuit of Beauty1) What is beauty in your eyes?2) Your understanding of physical beauty and inner beauty;3) Which to pursue: physical beauty or inner beauty? and how to achieve it? Topic 3: The Entrepreneur I Admire Most1) Basic information about this entrepreneur;2) Why and what makes you admire him or her ?3) What can you learn from him or her?Topic 4: Culture Differences1) What do culture differences mean? Can you give some examples?2)What problems may be caused by our failure to recognize cultural differences?3) How will you prepare yourself to become “culturally competent”?Topic 5: Gender Equality1) Your understanding of gender stereotype2) The phenomenon of gender inequality in China.3) What should be done to achieve or improve gender equality?Topic 6: Should Men and Women Be Equal?1) Some people think men are superior to women in ability.2) But others believe that women have the ability to challenge men in many ways.3) Your opinion.1.A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves",in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is. Some fallacies are committed intentionally to manipulate or persuade by deception, while others are committed unintentionally due to carelessness or ignorance.Fallacies are defects that weaken arguments; Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that invalidate the argument. McMullin (2000), a clinical psychologist, explains that: "Logical fallacies are unsubstantiated assertions that are often delivered with a conviction that makes them sound as though they are proven facts".There are some types of logical fallacies:Hasty generalization,Missing the point,false cause,and Slippery slope.Let me introduce some cases.First,hasty generalization.Making assumptions about a whole group or range of cases based on a sample that is inadequate (usually because it is atypical or just too small). Stereotypes about people ("frat boys are drunkards," "grad students are nerdy," “women don’t enjoy sport”etc.) are a common example of the principle underlying hasty generalization. Second ,Missing the point.A andB are debating about the law.A: Does the law allow me to do that?B: The law should allow you to do that because this and that.B missed the point. The question was not if the law should allow, but if it does or not.Third,false cause.Which means as "after this, therefore because of this." Assuming that because B comes after A, A caused B. Of course, sometimes one event really does cause another one that comes later.But sometimes two events that seem related in time aren't really related as cause and event. That is, correlation isn't the same thing as causation.All in all,it is lacking of logical thinking that cause logical fallacy.Avoiding fallacies will strengthen our ability to produce strong arguments. It is important to note that.That all,thank you.2.From my perspective,beauty is not only as a characteristic of a person's appearance,but also a characteristic of an animal, idea, object, person or place that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, culture, social psychology and sociology,often involves an interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being.Besides, physical beauty is the degree to which a person's physical features are considered aesthetically pleasing or beautiful.It means one person has healthy body.While inner beauty is opposite of physical beauty.It is not appearance but soul of people’s spirit world,which includes psychological factors such as personality, intelligence, grace, politeness, charisma, integrity, congruence and elegance, etc.Focusing on what you enjoy about your personality, your life, and your individual circumstances rather than external factors, including your appearance, can help you radiate positively and commendable personality qualities to others.There are steps you can take to focus on creating an inner beauty.First of all,think positively about your personality rather than your external appearance.Second,inner beauty reflected by one people’s inner spirit world.Do more reading,expand you horizon,which will be good way to enrich you spirit.Third,expand your self-knowledge and awareness. Self-discovery can give you the tools to make the necessary changes to your life that lead to cultivating inner beauty. Seek new experiences, ask advice from others, and set achievable goals for your life and career. Challenge yourself with new experiences and ideas. Take a class, try a new sport, or try a new hobby. Expanding your thought process can spark creativity and push your boundaries for the better.As for physical beauty,maintain health on the outside. Part of creating and maintaining inner beauty involves ensuring that you maintain a regular health routine.Exercise is also key to improving your mood. It alleviates long-term depression and provides short-term emotional benefits.As an added benefit, regular exercise revitalizes skin, reverses aging, and reduces cellulite, all of which can lead to increased confidence and feelings of well-being.That’s all thank you.4.From my perspective,culture difference means:different language,different thinking logical,different life style and different sense of worth.For example,Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive.Besides,basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something in China it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated.Some problems may be caused by our failure to recognize cultural differences.For example,because of the lack of awareness of culture differences, some words and deeds can hurt the other feelings, such as religion, customs, and so on;Additionally,it maybe cause communication problems,which often derive from basic differences in values between cultures.What’s more, cultural differences may give rise to misunderstandings and conflicts of the types. It is often the case that cultural differences are used as the pretext for starting a war, discrimination against certain nationalities and cultural groups, etc. In such a case, there is a combination of misunderstanding between cultures and a clear political, ideological or economic motive to the conflict. The results of cultural differences can be many and various in normal life, ranging from misunderstandings which can be laughed away, to threats to the very existence of a person.So we should prepare ourselves to become “culturally competent”.Firstly,we can read more books about culture difference to get more knowledge.Secondly,as thesaying goes,When in Rome, do as the Romans do.It is necessary for us to respect different culture.Finally,the most thing is to do actions rather than just saying.。

There are some types of logical fallacies: Hasty generalization, Missing the point, false cause, and Slippery slope. Let me introduce some cases. Actually, logical fallacies are very common in our everyday life. I myself commit logical fallacies very often, too. For example, when I first met my roommate in college, I felt very surprised when he told me she didn’t know the history of tea. I asked, “Fujian as the production of tea, has a long history of tea production. Everyone ought to know its’history as well as the various techniques of serving tea. You are from Nanping, why d on’t you like tea?” Here I committed the logical fallacy “Dicto~(@^_^@)~ Simpliciter”. I falsely asserted that all people in Fujian should like tea,and there should be no exception to this premise.谬论是利用无效的或其他错误的推理,或“错误的行动”,在建设一个论点。

大学生英语口语考试一些话题及答案

大学生英语口语考试一些话题及答案

Topics for mini-talk (one minute)1.Can you describe some possible advantages of having a poor memory?A poor memory may have some advantages.For example, you can forget the unhappy things easily.easily turn your previous enemies into friendsforget the unhappy expieriences easily.recover from hurt quickly……With the passage of time, the sad memories will fade. Those with a short memory tend to recover faster than those with a tenacious memory. For the same reason, forgetful people may be more ready to forget their daily worries and forgive others for their offenses. With a less retentive mind, they may enjoy life more.2.Do you think it is necessary for most of Chinese children to do a lot of difficult math problems for Olympic Math Competition?Some parents believe that by doing a lot of difficult math problems, their children will have a solid foundation in math. Some parents even believe that trying to solve hard math problems will promote the growth of their children’s brains and help develop their lo gical reasoning ability and concentration, which will facilitate learning in other areas.On the other hand, many people believe that it is unnecessary and unnatural for children to study difficult math problems. Some people even believe strict math train ing harms children’s moral and physical development. Fierce competition may dampen the spirit of teamwork, which is so important in the contemporary world.3.What study habits seem to be common among successful students?Many top students seem to have these good study habits: They tend to have a strong sense of time and organize their time well. They may draw up their study plan well in advance. While studying, they check whether they are working ahead of schedule or lagging behind it. They usually work in a systematic way. Before class, they preview the text to get some idea about what the teacher is going to say and which part of the text is difficult. In class, they listen attentively, take notes of the main points of the lecture, and ask questions when they don't understand. After class, they review what they have learned. By going through the text and the notes, they can remember important information.4.Should we be punctual for class, work, or appointments? Why?In the past, Chinese did not attach much importance to punctuality. In an agricultural country punctuality was not very important. But nowadays, owing to the quickened pace of life and the influence of Western concepts of time, the Chinese seem to be paying more attention to punctuality. If somebody is twenty minutes late for an appointment, you may be annoyed because it is a waste of your time. To avoid being late, we should make adequate preparations. In case an emergency prevents us from arriving at the destination on time, we can call ahead to inform the person concerned of the delay. But for entertainment activities like a party, we may be a bit late, for that causes no inconvenience to others.5.If you wanted to start a business, which factors would you consider first? Why?If I wanted to launch a business, I would consider all of these factors, for they all play an indispensable role. First of all, I would consider my ability. Since I majored in biology, I would be cautious in starting a company to sell something I am not familiar with such as building materials or DVDs. With my educational background, I may find it easier to run a company selling bio-tech products. The next thing I would have to take into account, is the money available. Suppose the establishment of a company required a capital of a million dollars, I would try to see whether I could get a loan. If not, I would give up the idea and try to set up a smaller service company that required less capital. Last but not least, I would survey the market to see if the products I planned to deal with could be sold. If they were unmarketable, I had better give up the idea of founding a company in this area. If they sold well, then I would go ahead.6.Name at least 5 recreational activities, and give specific comments on one of them.With the development of the economy and society, the number of recreational activities grows. People can play all kinds of sports, sing karaoke, go dancing, go to the movies, play video games or online games, or surf the Internet.Some people think these recreational activities are great and necessary, because they can help people release their strain and stress. Some of the activities, such as playing sports, can help people relax physically, while some of them, such as surfing the Internet, can help people relax mentally. However, some people think recreational activities might be harmful if people are addicted. Spending too much time on them will seriously influence people’s normal life.As a college student, I hold a belief that recreational activities do more good than harm. As long as we arrange time by reason, and take part in recreational activities properly, we can make them a helpful tool for our development.7.Can you think of some practical measures to protect forests?I think the most important thing to do is to create a law to forbid the cutting of trees in certainareas. Even when timber is needed for construction, logging should be well planned. In addition to the law, we also need law enforcement personnel who will fine those who fell trees illegally.It is not enough to protect the existing forests. We must also plant trees to make new forests. We should also grow various types of trees to ensure bio-diversity. To make the afforestation program successful, the government should award those units and individuals that have made outstanding contributions.law to forbid the cutting of treesLaw enforcement personnelPlanting more treesAwarding those with outstanding contribution8.What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate?Since the world is complex and mysterious, it is not easy to arrive at a definite conclusion. Some scholars, including a British psychologist, suggest that there exists a correlation between one'sattitude to life and one's fate. But more research is needed before we can be sure of such a correlation. Moreover, the cause-and-effect relationship has not been clearly identified, and we are uncertain which causes which. In real life we can find counter examples: Some optimistic people are not very lucky, while some pessimistic people are quite lucky. Perhaps we should try to find out which case is more frequent: optimistic people with good luck or optimistic people with bad luck. Judging from my personal observations, the former is more common. I can even supply the reason: Optimistic people have more self-confidence, which facilitates their success in life. A survey involving many people is required to discover what most people think about this issue.9.What are the problems jobless workers may have? How can they overcome their difficulties?10.W hat kinds of employees are likely to be fired?If employees do not observe company or department rules, they are likely to be fired. Any boss will be angry if employees are late for work or use the company phone to talk with friends.

Even if one works hard, the boss may not be satisfied if one doesn’t work with high efficiency. After all, company profits come fro m employee achievements.

Most businesses were small, and so was the paperwork that went with them.Beginning in the mid-1990s, the advent of the personal computer, and breakthroughs in voice and data communication, created opportunities for office workers to decentralize.Decentralization also benefits employers, in lower overhead, and in many cases, greater productivity.At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, the term " Small Office and Home Office " and its variants —along with the acronym "SOHO"— have been used to a great extent by companies who market products targeting the great numbers of small businesses which have a tiny or medium sized office.Technology has also created a demand for larger businesses to employ individuals who work from home.

Personally, I am usually vigilant against any advertisements and so I have never been taken in. However, some people are credulous and are easily taken in. Therefore, in myopinion, effective measures must be taken to ban false advertisements and protect consumers' interests. First, all the advertisements made by movie stars must be strictly censored by the authorities concerned before they are published. Besides, severe punishment must be inflicted on those who publish illegal advertisements. In conclusion, false advertisements must be eliminated in our society18.D o you think a good interior decoration of classrooms will help students to focus their attention?Why?19.W hat extracurricular activities can help a student land a job after graduation?Sure, life in school is pretty interesting.

大学英语口语问答大学口语测试问题及答案

大学英语口语问答大学口语测试问题及答案<i>大学口语测试问题及答案,大学英语口语问答技巧</i>1、What do you think you should do while you're young?I think there are quite a few things for us to do while we are young. We should acquire knowledge to better understand the world. We should learn useful skills to prepare ourselves for our future employment. We should engage in meaningful activities and provide help and service for our country. We should also enjoy the good things in life, that is, friendship, love, sports, music, art, travel, etc.2、What qualities do you value most in a young person?There are a lot of qualities that are unique to a young person. What I value most in a young person is, first of all, the quality of being energetic. A young person is like the rising sun in the morning. He is always eager to do what he is interested in. For example, young people like to go dancing and sing songs. The second quality I admire in a young person is the strong will to learn new things, to take in new ideas and to take risks in doing what is important to him or her. Last but not the least, I like the quality of being honest in a young person. Comparatively speaking, young people are more honest than most middle-aged people. They seldom hide their true feelings toward others and they dare to love and dare to hate.3、How would you describe your relationship with your parents?I have a very good relationship with my parents. We are a close family and love each other very much. I like to tell my parents about what I do at school and they are always interested in what I say. And they also share their experience and ideas with me. Since I came to college, there have been some changes in our relationship. When Iwas in middle school, it was usually my parents who did most of the talking when we spent time together. They would have endless advice to me. Now it seems to be the other way around. They tend to do more listening than talking. However the way is, we love and cherish each other all along.4、Do you and your parents believe in different values? Are your parents living models for you?I have very similar values to my parents'. After all, I have acquired most of my values from them. We all believe in being honest, working hard for one's goal, and taking one's responsibilities seriously. In these respects, my parents are my role models. On certain minor issues, however, we do have different values. For example, unlike my father who's a big fan of Beijing Opera, my mother and I couldn't care less about this traditional art.5、What is coincidence? Give an example to illustrate it.A coincidence is the noteworthy alignment of two or more events or circumstances without obvious causal connection. In other words, it is merely a term that a human being thought up in order to be able to explain the thing that nothing else is capable of explaining. Coincidences make great stories. As the old Chinese saying rightly points out, “No coincidences, no stories.“ For example, I ran into a friend of mine in the railway station when I was on a trip in Shanghai. What's more, I thought I should have phoned him before the trip and asked him to meet me at the railway station.6、What can coincidences do? Are they mostly beneficial or harmful?Coincidences may mean different things to different people. Because many coincidences are so interesting, they make good stories. Writers, reporters and story-tellers could make use of such events tomake their stories more entertaining. In this sense, coincidences are useful or beneficial. But to superstitious (迷信的) people, coincidences may be regarded as something supernatural (超自然的) and serve to strengthen their blind faith. They might lead these people to do stupid things to seek good luck or avoid bad luck. That, I guess, would be meaningless or harmful.7、What are some qualities that courageous people have?I think courageous people share a lot in common. First of all, one of the qualities that set them apart from the ordinary people is their willingness to take risks or to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others. Second, most people who are courageous have the will power to overcome fear in the face of danger or in doing what they believe is right. Last but not the least, courageous people are stable in their behavior and do not pretend to be。
