The Desgining of HaibaoThe mascot of 2010 Shanghai World Expo Haibao is very important for interpreting the the me of this world expostion and expressing the culture of the hosting country—China, just like ot her mascots for huge worldwide events such as Olympics and World Cup. The emblems and i mages of past World Expos have turned into the unique intangible legacy. The World Expo ma scots have not only become the representatives of Expo images, but also embody the culture a nd spirit of hosting countries and cities.Mascot, as the symbol featuring the hosting country, will embody the history, development, culture, concept and social background of the country and will play an important role in the co mmunication in political, economical and cultural fields.2. The main characters of Haibao.Created from the Chinese character "ren," which means people, the mascot embodies the c haracter of Chinese culture and echoes with the designing concept of the emblem of World Ex po Shanghai. Using the Chinese character as the mascot of an international event is an innova tion.4. The manifestationHair: the hair of the mascot is like the wave of the sea, which represents its open charact er and stated the character of its birth place—the coastal city of Shanghai.Face: its cartoon expression_r_r shows its confidence and friendly character.Eye: big, round eyes show his anticipation of the city.Blue: the color shows its latitude and imagination, which represents the rising and potential China.Body: its round body represents a well-off life, which is also lovely and cute.Fist: he thumbs up to show the appreciation and warm welcome to the friends from all ove r the world.Big feet: he stands steadily on the big feet and embraces the world with big arms, which s hows that China has the ability and faith to host a successful Expo.The Chinese character 人has two strokes supporting each other. This structure shows the concept that a good life should be created by all the people. The world should be supported b y "people," and people should have harmonious relationships with nature and society, so that th e life in cities would be better.The mascot will surely become the lucky symbol and cultural remark of Shanghai Expo.5. The birth of the name of Haibao.The name of the mascot of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is Hai Bao, which means th e treasure of the sea. The name of Hai Bao is easy to remember, echoes with the color of its body and is a typical lucky name in Chinese tradition.Hai Bai is the good well ambassador of Shanghai Expo. He is embracing friends from all o ver the world with his arms and confident smile.Mascot selectionHuman beings, as the creators of good life, are the core to push the city development. Th at’s why the designing of the mascot chose th e Chinese character of people to be the main im age. The blue color mascot represents the elements including earth, dream, sea, future, technol ogy and manifests the theme of World Expo "Better City, Better Life."The image of the mascot is simple, easy to remember and to communicate. Though it is a single mascot, with the different motions and costumes, it could also have various appearance s.The mascot "Haibao," which means the treasure of the seas, is another Expo symbol creat ed from Chinese character following the Expo emblem in the shape of "世" (world).Water is the source of life. The main character of the mascot is water. The blue color stat ed Chinese brand-new gesture to embrace the world. Hai Bao is the wish to colorful life and the warm invitation to friends from all over the world to Shanghai.6. The selection of mascotThe final winner is selected out of 26,655 entries from the four-month worldwide public soli citation for the mascot idea. Instead of asking designated teams to create the mascots, like mo st of the other World Expos and Olympics, the organizers launched a public solicitation to hear what common people think.The staff of the mascot selection office traveled to more than 50 cities in China and across the world. It also did a door-to-door promotion to over 80,000 people, asking them to submit i deas for the Expo mascot.Among the 26,655 entries to the Expo, the youngest person to submit an entry was only t hree years old, and the oldest was 83.About seven percent of the entries are designed by children less than 10 years old.

We got to London on a mid-summer’s evening but the sky was stil l quite light. My father told me that London is much nearer to the North Pole than Beijing so d ay is much longer than night in summer, while night is much longer than day during the winter.London is a really big city with lots of cars and heavy traffic. My first impression of London w as old and crumbling unlike Beijing, where there are lots of new and modern buildings.Did you like the school life there?My father put me in a primary school which is called Our Lady Roman Catholic Primary sc hool. The first several months were quite hard to me. I could not understand what they were ta lking about and what I knew were simple words like toilet, water, good morning and bye-bye. T he teachers and classmates were very kind to me and step by step I made progress with my English. I made lots of friends there. This photo was taken when I was in Year One. Look, her e’s my best frie nd Laurie Rankin. She once invited me to her birthday party. These two are Al exandra Craze, (Alex for short) and Ivana Nicolaou. This is our teacher Miss Clarke. And look, that’s me! Back then as you see from this picture my hair was very short, I looked r eally like a boy. When I was in reception I was in the nativity play. I was to be one of the three wise m en giving out gifts when‘Jesus’was born. The school organized lots of Activities like visiting Lon don Zoo, Tate Modern Museum and going to the church. This photo was taken by my mother i n the school sports day. I won three races.What did you do in the weekends?Nearly every weekend my parents took me out to parks. There are lots of parks in London and my favorite is the Greenwich Park. Greenwich Park is well-known for its Observatory and Greenwich Meantime. There is also a playground and a deer park within it. In the deer park th ere are lots of deer and squirrels. The squirrels like to eat peanuts. Once I put a peanut in myhat and placed it on my lap. The squirrel bounded forwards and ate the peanut in the hat! I nearly touche d the squirrel’s soft fur.What was my hobby in London?Reading was and still is my hobby. I really liked to go to local libraries near our home. Th e first time my father helped me ask for a library card so you can borrow twelve books at one go. I started with picture books with more pictures than words, and later I could read books w ith more words than pictures, some with no pictures at all. I also started to borrow audio books so I could listen to them at home. Sometimes my parents took me to the bookstores so that I could read newly published books. I usually sit on the floor while reading. I could always find some books of my liking. My favorite author is J. K. Rowing. She wrote the book Harry Potter series. I have read all the English version of the seven books now. Roald Dah l’s books are go od too: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator are the m ost entertaining. I also like Enid Blyton, David Henry Wilson, C.S.Lewis and Lemony Snicket. I l ike reading because it can make me more imaginative and give me more knowledge.How do you spend you holidays?In the school holidays I traveled with my parents to different places in or out of Britain. W e’ve been to the capital of France-Paris and climbed the Eiffel Tower; we visited France’s Disn eyland too. Then we traveled to the capital of Italy-Rome and ate pizza on the street. Venice i s a beautiful Water City in Italy. It is a marvelous place to have a holiday, but in the summer t he mosquitoes were very bothering. I got stung twenty times in three days.Once, me, my mother and my father went to Edinburg for the EasterHolidays. We stayed in an old house which had once been the home of the famous author of Treasure Island-Robert Louis Stevenson. The book is about a boy called Jim Hawkins going on an adventure with pirates.Cambridge is a good place for education and boating. My father steered the boat when we went boating in Cam River. He had the oar and was standing on the deck all on his own. Me and my mother were afraid that my father would fall into the water! He didn’t fall in the water; he didn’t even scrap the sides of the boat when we were under the bridge.How do you like the food there?When I was in Britain I really liked western food. At our school we could choose between eating school dinners and bringing packed lunches. English children like to pack sandwiches, cri sps, biscuits, fruit and vegetables and sometimes a handful of sweets in their packed lunches b ut school dinners are different. We have fish and chips twice a week with carrots and peas. So metimes we eat garlic bread and shepherd pie, and sometimes we ate mashed potato. There were sauces to make the food taste better: gravy, ketchup, mayonnaise, etc and delicious pudd ings. There are puddings that I disliked too, for example custard and rice pudding. The rice pu ddings were not anything compared to my mother’s porridge. Although I ate a lot of English foo d I still liked Chinese food. When the Spring Festival came, my father’s colleagues would come to our flat and made Chinese dumplings together. They were delicious.How did you feel about going back to China?I stayed in London for two years. We came back to China when I was six years old. I wa s very sad to leave my friends and my school in London and as a result I had a fever. I was so ill that I had to be carried to the hospital in an ambulance. The doctor said I was attacked by‘some kind of virus that we don’t know. She didn’t give me any medicine apart from some li quid to make me feel better. She also told me to drink a lot of water and have a rest. Several days later my parents took me to the hospital again to have a check. The doctor said I had b een very brave and had defeated the virus and I would be healthy soon. Ten days later, I was healthy enough to go back to China.London has given me a lot of good memories. I hope one day in the future I could go ba ck there, to study English and to meet my old friends.1. Tell the differences between Chinese primary school and British primary schoola.

Who I went to America withMy Mom was a visiting scholar of MIT, so I went to America with my mom in 2007 and studied for one whole year. It was an unforgettable experience for me.2. The first glimpse of the city of BostonFirst, let me talk about my first glimpse of the city of Boston.I flew to America in August of 2007. When I first landed on the world’s famous city—Boston, I thought it was very beautiful: blue sky, white clouds, grass and trees. The streets also seemed very quiet with few people and no car horns. When we crossed the street, all the drivers would stop to let us cross. I felt very secure and happy. I loved America at my first sight.3. The one-month visit around AmericaNext, I’d like to talk about my one-month visit around America.The school life in America began in September. So I had one whole month to travel. My mom and I visited a lot of places in America. We went to Disneyland in Alanto. We played in Magic Kingdom, Escort and Disney-MGM Studio. We played in Sea world. All of them were exciting and interesting. I love them very much. We went to Washington and New York. We visited all kinds of museums and learned a lot. We traveled from the great Niagara Fall in the east to Yellow Stone Park in the west. With my boyish mind, I felt excited and curious about what was in front of me. Everything was different from that of China. If I had to uate it, I thought the two words—big and novel.4. Difficulties in American school lifeThe first day I went to Bulter Elementary school, I met my greatest difficulty. I couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t understand what the teachers and students said. When I was in China, I was a boy without any care. I had good friends; good teachers and I could make friends with everyone easily. But everything changed when I was in Bulter School. I had no friends. I felt very lonely and depressed in this new city. Fortunately I made a new friend Michael. He was a Chinese. And he had a sister Lingling. We often played together after school. Michael helped me a lot to adapt to the new school. When I couldn’t understand what other students said, he translated it into Chinese. And he taught me how to play “four square battles”. Then I could play with other students. Once I made new friends, I felt comfortable and had confidence. I am a boy without any care again. (What subjects did you like most?)5. Comparison of Family Education in China and AmericaMy mom always told that family education was very important to the children. I was arranged withassorted extracurricular classes where they are taught to learn piano, drawing, singing, etc., partly because parents wish children to develop in an all-round way and have a head-start in studies than other children. She tries to do nearly everything for me in my childhood, like helping me with dressing, having meals, bathing, etc... And because of the heated competition of the current society, they also hope that their children will have the high level of the education.She Chinese parents do always however, on the contrary, and much to my surprise, American parents are liable to inject the idea of independence to their children since their childhood, mainly because of which American children might have learned that they should be self-dependent andself-reliant at a very early age, and strive to handle things themselves.6. What I liked the most about AmericaI love America’s public libraries and museums most. I could borrow many books and DVD what I like. I could request books and DVD through the internet. On weekend my mom and I went to all kinds of museums, such as Boston Science Museum, Harvard Natural History Museum, MIT Museum. I learned a lot through reading books and visiting museums. (Which libraries and museums in Beijing have you been to?)7. What I learned from the experienceI think the year experience in America is always unforgettable. First of all, it provided me a new insight that I have to face difficulties squarely. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. Before going to America, I thought I was a little boy so that I have the right to depend on adults—mum, dad and so on. But what if adults are not near you? So I think we should be brave and strong-minded.And then it is also important for us to ask for help. I mean when I have something difficult to deal with, I will ask to friends or teachers or Mum or Dad for advices.Everything is a small cake and I could cope with it. That is an unforgettable experience to give me.American parents are liable to inject the idea of independence to their children since their childhood, mainly because of which American children might have learned that they should beself-dependent and self-reliant at a very early age, and strive to handle things themselves.三一口语七级好话题The Battle of Chibi1. Why do I like the Battle of Chibi?1) The Battle of Chibi is one of the most famous battles in C hinese history. In this battle, the numerically(数量上) inferior（劣势的）troop defeated the numerically superior one. Although Caocao boasted of commanding 800 thousand elite soldiers, he still couldn’t resist the 50 thous and allied force of Liubei and Sunquan.2) The allied force was not frightened by the numerically superior enemy and was not puzz led by superficial phenomenon. However, through calm analysis, it figured out the real situation and overcomed all the difficulties. In this way, it gained itself the foundation of winning this battle.3) The power of uniting is overwhelming. Facing such a strong army, the two warlords, Liu bei and Sunquan, converted the whole situation by allying together. By doing this, they created the favorable condition for themselves to win this battle.4) The allied force made good use of its advantage of being good at naval battle and une xp ectedly adopted the method of using fire to attack Cao’s army. Cao’s army was defeated bec ause it was very poor in the skills of fighting naval battle and at the same time it underestimat ed the strength of the allied force.In my study, I also should try my best to overcome all the difficultis. Now I am in the prime of my life time. All I need to do is set up a stable foundation for my future study and work.2. What’s the historical background of the Battle of Chibi?By the early 3rd century, the Han Dynasty, which had ruled China for four centuries was crumbling. Emperor Xian had been a political figurehead since 189. He had no control over the actions of the various warlords because they controlled their respective territories. One of the most powerful rulers in northern China was the warlord Cao Cao. By the year 207, he had unif ied northern China. And then his army started a sounthern campaign in the hope of uniting the whole country. The Jing province in the area of Yangtze River was key to the success of this strategy. So Cao Cao himself commanded 800 thousand soldiers and conquered Jing province in no time. At the sound of the victory of Cao Cao, Liu Bei’s troop started to retreat towards south. Later, Cao’s force took up Xin Ye and run after Liu’s troop. At last, two forces met and Liu’s troop was defeated at Chang Banpo. Liu retreated to Xia Kou. But Cao’s force continued to chase him and marched to the east of Yangtze River.3. Can you compare the strength of Caocao’s force and the allied forc e?At that time, Caocao boasted of commanding 800 thousand soldiers. Besides, after winning several battles, Cao’s force conquered Jing province and the whole navy of Jing province surr endered to Caocao. Thus, his force was said to be enlarged to about 1 million.In the contrary, after Cao conquered Jing province, Liu only had a command of thousands of soliders and he didn’t had a base. Superficially, the strength of millitary forces of Cao and Liu are in great contrast. However, with deep analysis, Zhou Yu estimated Cao Cao's actual tro op strength to be closer to 220,000. Furthermore, this total included 70,000 surrendered troops. So the loyalty and morale of a large number of Cao Cao's force was uncertain. Zhou Yu also observed that Cao Cao's generals and soldiers mostly consisted of cavalry and infantry, and f ew had any experience in naval battle. Cao tried to convert them into navy with only a few da ys of drills before the battle. Besides Cao Cao's troop suffered from sea-sickness and unfamilia r environment. Just as Zhuge Liang observed: "Even a powerful arrow at the end of its flight c annot penetrate a silk cloth". On the other hand, although Liu only had a command of thousan ds of soldiers, he had the support from Sunquan whose troop were very good at naval battle. This is the comparison of the strength of two forces.4. Can you tell me something about the alliance of Liubei and Sunquan?Seeing the great power of Cao’s force, Liu realized that it was impossible for him to defeat Cao just by himsel f. Meanwhile, he figured out that although Cao’s force was powerful, most o f them consisted of cavalry and infantry who were not good at naval warfare. As a result, he d ecided to ally with Sunquan.At the same time, Sunquan also realized that if Liu was eliminated by Cao, the next to be destroyed would be himself. So he figured out that the best way to defeat Cao was to ally with Liu.5. How did Huaggai help to defeat Cao’s force by using tricks?Zhugeliang and Zhouyu all agreed to use fire to attack Ca o’s headquarter. The problem wa s that who could do this job and how could he succeed. So Zhouyu wanted Huanggai to prete nd to surrender to Caocao. But it was very difficult to win Caocao’s trust because he was very suspicious. Fortunately, they already kne w that Caizhong and Caihe who were Cao’s generals just pretended to surrender to them. So Zhouyu wanted to seriously punish Huanggai in public and made use of Caizhong and Caihe to pass the news to Caocao to make him believe that Huang gai really wanted to surrender to him. Huanggai was willing to suffer from serious punis hment because he wanted to pay Sunquan back （pay sb back 报答某人）. The next day, Zho uyu summoned millitary conference to discuss how to prepare to defeat Caocao. Huanggai put forward a lot of disagreement. Zhou yu pretended to be furious and ordered other soldiers to m ake him beheaded. All the generals and soldiers asked mercy for him. And Zhouyu changed th e punishment into beating him 50 times with a very thick stick. This trick not only deceived all the officers and soldiers on this side, but also deceived Caocao. At last, Huanggai pretended to surrender to Caocao and burned all the warships of his force when they were not alert at all. This was a key action for the success of Sin-Liu allied force.6. Can you talk about the reason why Caocao was defeated in this battle?I think there are three reasons for the defeat of Cao’s force. First, Cao Cao's generals and soldiers mostly consisted of cavalry and infantry, and few had any experience in naval warfare. So they couldn’t display their best side in Chibi. Furthermore, most of Cao’s navy were surren dered soldiers, so the loyalty was uncertain and the morale was low. Second, the Battle of Chi bi took place in summer. Cao’s force camped along the river for a long time. Plagues （瘟疫）b roke out in a large scale. The strength of Cao Cao's troop was seriously decreased. Third, Cao was deceived by the trick of Huanggai and zhouyu which resulted in the destroy of his headq uarter by a big fire.7. Can you talk about the reason why the allied force of Liubei and Sunquan won this batt le?I think there are three reasons for the success of Sun-Liu allied force. First, the allied force was not frightened by the numerically superior enemy and was not puzzled by superficial phen omenon. However, through calm analysis, it figured out that Cao’s force was just apparently fier ce but actually soldiers were very tired after long expedition and they were not familiar with en vironment and very poor in naval warfare. In contrast, Sun-Liu allied force were very good at n aval warfare which paved the foundation for their success. Second, the alliance of Sun and Liu was the key to success. Although they also had contradition between themselves, if they didn’t ally together, they would be destroyed separately sooner or later（迟早）. But the alliance chan ged the whole situation and created the favorable condition for themselves to defeat Cao. Third, they made good use of their advantages of being good at naval warfare to attack t he enemy’s disadvantages and they were good at attacking enemy unexpectely with fire when the enemywere not alert at all. All the above reasons led to the final defeat of Cao’s force and the succe ss of Sun -Liu allied force.三一口语七级的新增语法项目如下：第二条件句，即：与现在事实相反的条件句If I were…, I would…第二条件句是虚拟语气的一种，当你使用这个句子的时候，表示你在假设一个现在不可能发生的情况，比如，if I were 6 years old now, I would still go to my present school.你不可能回到6岁，所以这种情况你必须要用第二条件句来表达，如果你用if I am 6 years old now, I will still go to my present school. 就是错的啦，相应的语法方面你就得不到分数了。

七级部分资料
三一口语七级--补充答案Customs1.Is it important to know something about the customs of foreign countries?Yes, surely it is very important to have some knowledge about the customs of foreign countries. With the development of economy, we have more chances to communicate with foreigners. Since they speak a different language and have a different culture, there is always misunderstanding in our communication. To know better about their culture and avoid the misunderstanding, we have to learn some customs of their countries.2.Is it still a custom in China that women do most of the housework?It has been a custom in China that women do most of the housework for a long time. In the past, women played the traditional role of doing housework and taking care of children at home, because they didn't work to share the financial burden. But the concept has changed a lot with more women taking up jobs outside of their homes. So nowadays both men and women are responsible forhousehold duties.3.How are customs related to the study of the English language?Customs are closely related to the study of the language. We learn a foreign language in order to communicate with foreigners, but to get efficient communication, only proficient language skills are not enough. Behind language, there are various values, beliefs, rules and so on. All these different ideas are called customs. If we don't know about them, some embarrassment or even disasters may happen. So to avoid misunderstanding during communication, we have to learn far more knowledge about foreign customs besides language itself.4.We have a tradition to respect the old. What has government done to preserve the tradition?It's a Chinese custom for the young to respect the elderly. Our government has done many things to preserve this custom. For example, in many cities, the old people over 60 can enjoy free public traffic service. Many old people's homes are built. There are also many other preferential policies for the old people.5.Some customs are dying, forgotten gradually. Why are they disappearing?With the development of society, foreign customs become more and more popular among young people. Influence by the different cultures, Chinese customs are losing its appeal to people. Some traditional Chinese customs are disappearing. For example, nowadays, fewer people would celebrate the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day (Qi Xi Festival), while young people seem to favor the western Valentine's Day in February. Many people worry about the decline of Chinese traditions and customs, and we should appeal to people for keeping our long-history customs.6.Could you tell me something about the customs in China?That's an interesting question.7.How do Chinese people usually celebrate birthdays? We celebrate it by normally having a dinner party. The child receives gifts from his/her parents, family, and friends. When a child is one hundred days old, it marks a special occasion in his/her life. The mother will place a selection of objects on a table before him/her. S/he willbe asked to pick one. The choice that the child makes will be an indication of what the child will become one day.8.Describe a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. Before the wedding day, the families would put coins and peanuts in the wedding bed. The coins are symbolic of a prosperous life together, and the nuts to ensure a mixture of boys and girls as children. On the day of the wedding, the groom and his best men will go to the house of the bride. They will ask permission from the bridesmaids to enter, who will insist on many answers and money. They will eat eggs and noodles and drink sweet rice water together. The party will then begin, and the presenter will declare them man and wife.9.How have wedding ceremonies changed in recent years?There have been some changes. For example, the gifts have become more expensive. For example, the bride's family would give appliances like a TV or washing machine to the couple. Another example would be that in the past, peanuts were placed in the wedding bed to ensure a mixture of boys and girls as children. With theone-child policy in force, this tradition will probably disappear. In addition, the ceremonies have become much more informal. For example, the wedding party would be held at a restaurant as opposed to a house.

Batteries, glass or plastic bottle, plastic bags, cans, paper such as magazines, and newspapers and anything with recycle symbols on it.13. Give me some examples of renewable energy sources .What is the main problem with renewable energy sources?Solar energy, water power and wind power. The main problem is that they are not stable.14. Do you think recycling is an important community service?(11.) 15. If you were a mayor of Beijing, what kind of method would you take to reduce the private cars to prevent the air pollution?16. The water is getting less and less and it is polluted today, what kind of method would you take to solve it?17. What have you done to recycle in your daily life?18. What are some pollution in your family?19. Live in low carbon life?As global warming becomes a mounting challenge, low-carbon development is considered to be the best way forward in the long term. Firstly, we should know thatlow-carbon life is not only a kind of lifestyle but also life attitude. Secondly, we should develop good habits in our daily life. For example,we can save water by fixing dripping taps. We can save water by not brushing our teeth, not washing the dishes and vegetables under a running tap. We can save water by using used water to water plants or wash WC. We should save electricity. We should turn off the lights when we leave a room. We should turn off the PC (personal computer) and TV when they are not in use. We also can save paper by using both sides of the paper, recycling books, using handkerchiefs instead of paper napkins. Besides, we also should try to reduce the emission. When going to school or work, try walking or cycling instead of driving. Plant more trees and so on. I believe, if everyone lived a low carbon life, our earth would become a much better homeland.20. Do you think the air/pollution in Beijing is becoming better or worse than before?City Life and Country Life1. The village and the city.I think a village life is better because it more peaceful and relaxing. In a city one is always running around withthe clock-life seems more hectic. Maybe there is more to do in a city life than in a village life when it comes to entertainment. But being in a village where life can be more relaxing is nicer. If you like a fast life with a lot of exposure to libraries, swimming pools, movie theatre, ATMs etc. then city is cool.2.What are the differences between the jobs in the villages and the city?I think jobs in the city and village are very different. The first difference is that in the villages many people are farmers. Their work is mainly physical labor and this is very hard work. They have to work outside all days. Their work is also very seasonal. Most of their work doesn’t involves many skills and they don’t make much money. They live on what they grow. In the city, there are all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people to do. People work all the year round. Some jobs are thought to be low and poorly paid while some jobs pay well and requires skills and education.3.What are the different kinds of transport used in the villages and cities?The means of transportation in the cities and villages arequite different from each other. In the cities, it’s usually very convenient to travel by bus, by car, by subway or by taxi. The roads and services are always good. In the villages, the farmers ride their bikes or walk around because wherever they go, it’s not far. They take buses to go to far places. Sometimes they have to wait for hours for the next bus.4. What are the different types of housing in the villages and cities? Housing in the cities and villages are very different too. In cities most people live in apartment buildings while villagers live in the houses they make for themselves. The Buildings in cities are usually well equipped with the modern facilities while houses in the countryside are big, with fewer good things like city people have. The residential areas in the cities are always crowed with people while in the countryside, the houses are dotted here and there in the village.5. What are the different things people do in their spare time?In the city there are many things people can do in their spare time. Young people can go shopping go the cinema and they can go out and try different styles of food inrestaurants. In their spare time people should also go to the gym to keep fit and healthy. In the countryside people have far fewer choices. In their spare time they can stay outdoors to enjoy nature more, go fishing, running or climbing, or just sit there chatting.6. Do you think the quality of life is better in the city or in the villages?Yes, I think so. The quality of life in the city is much better because apartments are very comfortable and well equipped. In the winter we have central heating to keep us warm. Also there are very good schools and hospitals in cities. Compared with the countryside, most people in the city are very well off. The quality of life in the countryside is worse due to the lack of good schools, hospitals, shops, transportation, entertainment and many other things our daily life requires.7.Have you ever been to the countryside?If yes, what was it like in the countryside?Yes, I’ve been to the countryside several times. We used to spend our short holidays there in summer. It was in the northern mountain area, about 2 hours ride from Beijing. We in the family hotel run by the farmers. It wasvery beautiful and natural in the country. The air was fresh and so were the vegetables. We went to the farm to water and harvest crops. We went picnic and camping and fishing. We always enjoy ourselves when we went to the countryside. Now I’m too busy to spend holidays in the country. Next summer, I might go with my parents.。
三一口语七级 城市与乡村生活
城市与乡村生活City Life Compared with Rural LifeIt is really hard to say which is better than the other, city life or rural life. Both have its merit and shortcoming.Living in the city has a great many advantages. First, you can enjoy various kinds of foods, both foreign and domestic. Second, there are more cultural activities in the city--you can go to the concert, the theatre, the movies or the disco club after a day's hard work.But city life has many problems, too. The overcrowded population, traffic jam, industrial pollution, and the lack of understanding between people may result in disease and unhappiness. Living in the country, however, you can watch the magnificent sunrise and sunset and listen to the bird singing in the tree. If you want, you can certainly have a huge garden when a small green space seems a luxury in the city! In the city, you may feel at a loss as to which you are working for. You probably doubt you cannot be working for yourself since you are so unhappy and nervous. But in the countryside you will have no such worries. You plant seeds in the earth, and you watch them grow into flowers and finally into fruits or food. Once again, you enjoy the pleasure of work. But rural life may not be that perfect. Things are going so slowly that sometimes you may feel that you are absolutely left behind in some remote corners of the world. You may again miss the parties, friends and movies in the city.I Basic Knowledge1.TransportationA.CityMajor means of transportation1)Taxi or bus 2) Express train 3) Airplane 4) Private car 5) Subway or tube 6) Light rail 7) CoachConvenient and extended1)We can go to another city or place in short time2)There are direct buses or trains to another city, and it’s convenient fortransitionB.CountrysideMinor means of transportation1)Walk 2) Bicycle 3) Motorcycle 4) Tractor 5) Farm-oriented vehicles Inconvenient1)Not many direct bus or train to the other city or place2)People must transfer to another bus or train before their finaldestinations, which will waste some time3)There are less public means of transportationcationA.CityThere are many schools1)Students have chances to choose the schools2)They can devote themselves to study in schools3)There are many universities and it’s easier for students in cities to goto universities to receive the finest educationPeople are rich enough to go to school1)People have more chances to make money in cities2)There is only one child in most of the families3)The children can receive finest education in central city4)The children still can go abroad to receive advanced educationMore teachers in City1)Teaching is a respected career2)Teaching is stable career3)The condition for teachers in the city is goodThe teaching facilities are perfect1)The teaching building and other facilities in school are in goodconditions2)The teaching and studying environment are attractive and conductive3)There are libraries, computer laboratory and experimental labs toChemistry Physics and Biology and so onSchool activities1)There are many performances or shows in school2)There are many sport activities in school3)There are many games or matches in school4)Multilingual communication opportunities with foreignersB.CountrysideThere are not many schools1)Students only can go to the schools in towns which are far away fromtheir homes2)There is no university in the countryside or the rural areas3)It’s a little harder for the students from the rural areas or thecountryside to pass the exam for the universityPeople are not rich enough to send their children to school1)The only work for people in the countryside or rural areas is to do thefarming work or some other fish or shellfish farming work2)Some of people from the countryside go into the city to make a living3)There is more than one child in their families which is the heavy burdenfor the parents4)The children must do farming work for their familiesThe teachers are limited1)The working condition is bad2)The salaries or other bonus are less than that in cities3)The living condition is also worse than that in the cityThe teaching facilities are not advanced1)Teaching building is simple and poor2)No library, computer lab and the other facilities in the school3)Studying and teaching environment are not conductive3.PollutionA.CityWater pollution1)Polluted water from factories 2) Water-shortage 3) People have lesswater for daily useAir pollution1)Exhausted gas from the cars 2) Smoke from the factoriesWhite pollutionPlastic bags litter around than before which cannot be recycledNoise pollution1)Noise from the factories 2) Noise from the transport 3) Noise fromthe crowdB.Countryside1)Pollution is not as serious as that in city2)I can breathe the fresh air in the countryside3)Evergreen trees and blossom flowers4)Close to nature and natural scenes4.LifestyleWorking time and environment1)Eight-hours working period a day for most of the office workers2)Five-day working day a week for most of the office workers3)There are annual leave for most of the office workers4)There are national holiday and festival for most of the other officeworkers5)The company must pay the office workers for their overtime work Activities after work1)Go shopping 2) Do sports 3) Study 4) Read 5) See movies 6) Go to Karaoke 7) Work overtime 8) Attend some training courses 9) Have dinners or chat with friends in the elegant environmentB.

There are a large number populations in urban city and it’s crowded everywhere, while fewer people in countryside.Secondly, transportation. It is convenient and extended in urban city and there are many means of transportation, such as express train, public bus or metro, private cars, while it is inconvenient in countryside and major means of transportation is farm-oriented vehicles and tractors.Thirdly, education. Most people in urban city are wealthy enough to support their child to school and receive the finest education by using the advanced teaching facilities, while less families are capable to send their child to school and teachers are not qualified enough to teach students in the countryside.Fourthly, pollution. Nowadays, pollution is becoming the most serious environmental problem both in China and in the world. For instance, water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution which cause a lot of other social problems in people’s daily life, while in the countryside, pollution is not as serious as that in the urban city and people can breathe fresh air and enjoy the evergreen trees and blossom around you.2.How are big cities today different from those of twenty years ago? Today, cities in China are growing quickly. Many people from rural communities are coming to live in the city, thinking they will find successful jobs. Instead, they are faced with unemployment and often end up with living on the streets. Traffic has become an increasingly difficult problem. The economy is growing faster than the infrastructure able to support. Two decades ago, cities were growing at a manageable rate.(change in size/traffic situation/people’s ways of life/landmarks/infrastructure)3.How can we improve life in towns?We need to work on providing decent paying jobs for many who have none. Health care is in great need of upgrading. Sanitarian in the streets will improve as we improve plumbing systems and the quality of drinking water.(alternatives: traffic jam / overpopulation / crime rate / unemployment / the homeless /inequality of education opportunities / medical care / pollution / housing problem )4.What do you think you could contribute to Beijing?As an ordinary resident, I will spare no efforts to be a person beneficial to Beijing. I am doing so, as matter of fact. Civilization is the symbol of a city’s development. So I should tre asure the environment, take part in as many community and welfare activities as I can and follow traffic regulations.5.What are the differences between big cities and small towns in China?There are lots of skyscrapers here and there in big cities. Life there is more convenient, and people can enjoy various forms of entertainment. Education is excellent in big cities because there are sufficient number of prominent teachers and state-of-the-art teaching facilities, which are beneficial to the future career of children. However, just as the sayinggoes, “Every coin has tow sides”, big cities have their own disadvantages. For instance, big cities are crowded and noisy, living space is limited, and air is polluted. Nevertheless, small towns have their own advantages. For example, work is less challenging, life is quieter, and interpersonal relation is easier to deal with. So they are ideal place for old people to live in. 6. In your opinion, how can the problem of heavy traffic be solved?Nowadays, heavy traffic has become the source of greatest complaint in many big cities. And it has seriously affected people’s daily life and economic development.Talking about how to solve the problem, I think there are two ways. On one hand, more streets and roads should be constructed, for it can reduce traffic density and hence speed up the flow of buses and cars. One the other hand, the number of private cars should be limited while more bus routes should be opened up because buses can carry more passengers. 7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the countryside?First of all, I’ll mention its advantages. In the countryside, the air is clean, the food is fresh, and houses are usually spacious. People are close to the nature. Most of all, countrymen are simple and kind. However, disadvantages of living in the countryside are evident: Rural life is dull and monotonous, transportation is inconvenient, and markets aren’t so accessible. And the biggest disadvantage lies in education. Children in the countryside can’t have access to high-quality education, which results intheir narrow horizons.8. Why do you prefer to live in the countryside?With the development and prosperity of cities, many people swarm into the cities for so-called convenience and working opportunities. In the cities, they bought apartments or houses for themselves, and they are very proud of their personal property in which they spend every minute of their leisure. However, having been a city dweller for years, I prefer to live in the countryside.My choice of living in the countryside is based on the following. First, living in the countryside is good to my health. Many city dwellers choose to spend their holidays in the countryside because of the purity of the air and tranquility of the environment denied to cities. I, by living in the country, can fully enjoy the environment and don’t need to spend a penny to make everyday a holiday. Secondly, I may make more friends by living in the country. Country people don’t have to face so much competit ion and pressure of work as the city people do, therefore, they are friendlier to each other, more ready to receive and offer help.Since living in the countryside has so many advantages, why do we still try to be city residents?9. Can you tell me why Americans like living in the country and Chinese like living in the urban area?。
Internet-G7(三一口语七级范文)
Internet1、How did I know about InternetI know about Internet from the chatting tool QQ. My mom is the first person who told me about QQ. She has played it since 2000. When my mother showed her QQ to me, at first I felt it so bored and useless. Gradually, I saw my mother use it to communicate with her friends and send emails to her co-workers, even I saw her playing some computer games on QQ to relax myself and at that very moment, I changed my mind. Then I found Internet quite interesting.2、When I first used internetI used internet since I set up QQ. At first, I installed the program of QQ, but I did not know how to use it, then I began to search it on internet, and later I found I could use internet to do even more, I began to feel quite interested in it and spend a lot of time on internet. Since then, I had my connection with this magic tool to know what is going on worldwide which has enlarged my mind and broadened my horizon very much.3、What people usually do while surfing on the InternetWell, people do lots of things by using internet. The young people order their food on internet or order something, such as fashionable things, books, and clothes and so on. If they go out for travel, they can searchmap on it. With Internet, people can find information for their work and study. I usually play on-line games with my friends. And always I use internet to listen to English programs and watch on-line movies which has brought me lots of fun. On weekends, I usually install homework in mailbox which our teacher leaves in it. After I finish my homework, I send it through Internet to my teacher. I almost feel that I can’t live without it any more.4、Whether my parents think it good for me to play computer games oninternetI often play computer games on internet, which often makes me feel cool and great. And sometimes we even could make some new friends in other countries. But my parents don’t thin k that is good to surf on net always, because they think maybe I will like it so much that it will affect my studies and it’s even bad for my eyes and so on. But they always tell me that I should not spend much time on it. If I want to search some information, they do not blame me for that. Because it is the most important part of modern life.5、What I often do and how I enjoy internetI like internet, so when I have time, I often play games with my friends on-line. News is reported by all kinds of ways everyday, I can come to understand china and the other countries and see what’s going onaround the planet. The most important thing is that cartoons which I love most are traded on internet, so I think it is very welcomed for any young boy like me. I learned a lot through reading books and news on internet. 6. What advantages and disadvantages are about internet?On one hand, Internet is convenient and rapid for everyone，so people use it on study or work. Most people are too busy to study full time at school. On line education just comes to their aids. It is indeed a helpful complement to the education. It can provide different learns with more flexible and versatile ways to learn. With online education we can study and absorb the latest knowledge.And on the other hand, more and more people begin to learn computer operation. But it is just too expensive; Especially, many people of countryside can not have it. And its display is bad for user, so we can not use it for a long time. We should write something with hands and go out to the library to read books.7、What my suggests are for internetNowadays, it is not enough for someone. More and more people think it too slow and due to the limited resources we could resort to internet, many people still think it can not completely cover all the information we want for studies. And it is not safe for those who work with it and still for the users sometimes because of many internet fraudsand we should improve the speed of internet and use it rationally, in my opinion.。

★⽆忧考为⼤家整理的《伦敦三⼀⼝语七级话题》，供⼤家参考。
更多阅读请查看本站频道！ 1. The first glimpse of the city of Boston First, let me talk about my first glismpse of the city of Boston. I flew to America in August of 2007. When I first landed on the world’s famous city-Boston, I thought it was very beautiful: blue sky, white clouds, grass and trees. The streets also seemed very quiet with few people and no car horns. When we crossed the street, all the drivers would stop to let us cross. I felt very secure and happy. I loved America at my first sight. 2. Who I went to America with My Mom was a visiting scholar of MIT, so I went to America with my mom in 2007 and studied for one whole year. It was an unforgettable experience for me. 3. The one-month visit around America Next, I’d like to talk about my one-month visit around America. The school life in America began in September. So I had one whole month to travel. My mom and I visited a lot of places in America. We went to Disneyland in Alanto. We played in Magic Kingdom, Escort and Disney-MGM Studio. We played in Sea world. All of them were exciting and interesting. I love them very much. We went to Washington and New York. We visited all kinds of museums and learned a lot. We traveled from the great Niagara Fall in the east to Yellow Stone Park in the west. With my boyish mind, I felt excited and curious about what was in front of me. Everything was different from that of China. If I had to uate it, I thought the two words—big and novel. 4. Difficulties in American school life The first day I went to Bulter Elementary school, I met my greatest difficulty. I couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t understand what the teachers and students said. When I was in China, I was a boy without any care. I had good friends; good teachers and I could make friends with everyone easily. But everything changed when I was in Bulter School. I had no friends. I felt very lonely and depressed in this new city. Fortunately I made a new friend Michael. He was a Chinese. And he had a sister Lingling. We often played together after school. Michael helped me a lot to adapt to the new school. When I couldn’t understand what other students said, he translated it into Chinese. And he taught me how to play “four square battles”. Then I could play with other students. Once I made new friends, I felt comfortable and had confidence. I am a boy without any care again. (What subjects did you like most?) 5. Comparison of Family Education in China and America My mom always told that family education was very important to the children. I was arranged with assorted extracurricular classes where they are taught to learn piano, drawing, singing, etc., partly because parents wish children to develop in an all-round way and have a head-start in studies than other children. She tries to do nearly everything for me in my childhood, like helping me with dressing, having meals, bathing, etc... And because of the heated competition of the current society, they also hope that their children will have the high level of the education. She Chinese parents do always however, on the contrary, and much to my surprise, American parents are liable to inject the idea of independence to their children since their childhood, mainly because of which American children might have learned that they should be self-dependent and self-reliant at a very early age, and strive to handle things themselves. 6. What I liked the most about America I love America’s public libraries and museums most. I could borrow many books and DVD what I like. I could request books and DVD through the internet. On weekend my mom and I went to all kinds of museums, such as Boston Science Museum, Harvard Natural History Museum, MIT Museum. I learned a lot through reading books and visiting museums. (Which libraries and museums in Beijing have you been to?) 7. What I learned from the experience I think the year experience in America is always unforgettable. First of all, it provided me a new insight that I have to face difficulties squarely. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. Before going to America, I thought I was a little boy so that I have the right to depend on adults—mum, dad and so on. But what if adults are not near you? So I think we should be brave and strong-minded. And then it is also important for us to ask for help. I mean when I have something difficult to deal with, I will ask to friends or teachers or Mum or Dad for advices. Everything is a small cake and I could cope with it. That is an unforgettable experience to give me. American parents are liable to inject the idea of independence to their children since their childhood, mainly because of which American children might have learned that they should be self-dependent and self-reliant at a very early age, and strive to handle things themselves.。
三一口语七级风俗习惯NationalCustoms
三⼀⼝语七级风俗习惯NationalCustomsNational Customs1. When in Rome, do as the Romans do (⼊乡随俗)In different countries and different cultures, people have different customs and practices. So it’s important and necessary to know their customs when you travel abroad or get along with foreign friends. You should remember the saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Or it’ll be very easy to offend people or seem rude silly. My uncle is presently studying English in New York. He has not been there long, and he is quite amazed at the great differences between American and Chinese cultures. For one thing, Americans and Chinese are different in arranging a visit. Chinese prefer to call on their friends unexpectedly. Americans on the other hand, prefer making an appointment in advance. An unexpected visitor is regarded as impolite.2. The differences between Chinese and Western CustomsI’d like to talk about five differences between Chinese and Western Customs.Firstly in China, when meeting people, Chinese like to ask the questionsconcerning name, age, nationality, salary and state of marriage etc., while the western countries conversation doesn’t involve the private questions such as age, salary and state of marriage, etc.Secondly, the family name is followed by the given name. While the western countries, the family name comes after the given name.Thirdly, among the numbers, 4 is regarded as a symbol of bad luck, as itspronunciation is similar to that of “ death”. On the contrary, 6 and 8 are regarded as the lucky numbers. While the Western countries, among the numbers, 13 is deserted by most people for example, there is no ROOM 13 in the hotels,no important events are on the 13th.Fourthly , the Spring Festival is the most important festival, and people send best wishes only to the family, friends and colleagues, with no greetings among strangers.While the Westerncountries Christmas is the most important festival , when people meet in the Christmas season or on the New Year Day, they exchange best wishes toone another.Last but not the least, when receiving presents, people usually thank first, and open the presents after the guests leave . While the presents are not usually very expensive but with great convention. It is polite to open the gift in front of the guest and to send appreciation and thanks.3. The Lantern FestivalDuring the Spring Festival, people visit each other, with a great deal of exchanging of gifts. Then the festive atmosphere of New Year begins to wind down 15 days later as the Lantern Festival sets in. This Festival, believed to have Daoist origins,is for people to just have fun N carrying lanterns into the street, watching lions or dragon dancing , playing Chinese riddles and games, and lighting firecrackers.A typical food is tangyuan , a kind of dumplings made of sweet rice rolled into balls and stuffed with sweet fillings. The Lantern Festival marks the end of the New Year season and afterwards life returns to its daily routine.4. Whether our traditional festivals would be replaced by other culturesEvery culture has its own history and developing background. One culture can never replace another. So our Chinese customs and traditional culture would never be replaced by western culture. In recent years, with the development of the society, we let in some western cultures. At the same time some foreigners begin celebrating Chinese traditional festivals like the Spring Festival. In fact, Spring Festival is losing its traditional flavor, while young people seem to enjoy celebrating weste rn holidays, when they can have more fun on their own. It’simportant to maintain China’s cultural tradition, but with influx of western cultures, our traditional culture is diminishing. Some people holds that without traditional culture, it's meaningless no matter how strong China becomes.5. Chinese national holidaysThe national holidays are an important part of national customs and traditions. Each nation has its own traditional method of celebrating festivals. China has many important traditional festivals, the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival and so on. Different festival has different customs. The government's decision to make three more traditional festivals national holidays gives Chinese people time off from work to celebrate these traditional festivals properly, with traditional activities. The shorter holidays also mean many Chinese are staying closer to home, it has also spurred interest in Chinese culture. The move has helped the festivals to revive their traditions.6. Should we observe Chinese traditional customs?Yes, we should definitely observe our Chinese traditional customs. With the development of society, foreign customs become more and more popular among young people. Many people worry about the decline of Chinese traditions and customs. Some even appealed to the government for help to honor our national traditions by including more traditional festivals into the official holiday system. Some think we should because as Chinese, we live in China, the traditional customs can date back to thousands of years ago .They are the symbol of China. Even though we accept foreign customs, but we still should observe our own customs. In this age, we can't always insist on traditional customs. And we should combine traditional customs with foreign customs. In this way, we can catch up with the world.7. What's special about each traditional festivalOn the Lantern Festival, various traditional customs and activities are held, including eating yuanxiao, watching lanterns and fireworks, guessing lantern riddles, performing folk dances and so on, It's called yuanxiao festival because every household eats yuanxiao on this day. The MId-Autumn Festival is the second most important and traditional festival in China. It’s also called the mooncake festival because mooncake is the food people can’t miss that day. Family members gather together for a reunion dinner. After dinner, they go out to enjoy the bright and round full moon which stands for harmony and reunion. Those who can’t return h ome watch the moon and feel deep longings for their loved ones.。

(If necessary, you can have 2 examiners in one group of 3 people.) Give them 1 minute to decide who is who. They are now going to talk about themselves. Tell the students that the ‘examiner’ has 5 minutes to interview the ‘candidate’, using their own prompts. After 5 minutes, tell the ‘examiners’ and ‘candidates’ to change roles: the ‘examiner’ becomes the ‘candidate’ and the ‘candidate’ becomes the ‘examiner’. Stop the activity after another 5 minutes and ask the class for feedback/any questions. 5. Optional: reflection (15 minutes) In groups, students select and write down the 10 most useful questions/phrases of the lesson.
