2001Task1: Retelling a storyI once knew an old man whose bad memory made him famous. John Smith was so forgetful that he sometimes forget what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes – even his meals!Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, “If John didn’t have his head tied on. He would forget that too!”Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very, very absent-minded.One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret.However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find outwhere he was going.The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.“Oh, my dear, I forgot the name the town.”“What? You forgot the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time. “What is the matter now?”“As you told me, I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town, but I forgot where I left our children!”Task2: Talking on a given topic Directions: Describe a teacher of yours whom you find unusual.Task3: Role-playingDirections: Many high school graduates in China are going overseas for their college education. A friend of yours isgraduating this year and would like to ask for your advice on whether it is a good idea for a high school graduate to go abroad to study.Student A: You think this friend should go by all means, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember you should start the conversation.Student B: You think this friend should finish college in China before thinking about going abroad, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember your partner will start the conversation.2002:Task1: Retelling a storyWhenever Mr. Smith goes to Westgate, he stays at the Grand Hotel. In spite of its name, it is really not very “grand,” but it is cheap, clean, and comfortable.Since he knows the manger well, he never has to go to the trouble of reserving a room.The fact is that he always gets the same room. It is situated at the far end of the building and overlooks a beautiful bay.On his last visit, Mr. Smith was told that he could have his usual room, but the manager added apologeticallythat it might be a little noisy. So great was the demand for rooms, the manager said, that the hotel had decided to build a new wing. Mr. Smith said he did not mind. It amused him to think that the dear old Grand Hotel was making an effort to live up to its name.During the first day Mr. Smith hardly noticed the noise at all. The room was a little dusty, but that was natural. The following afternoon, he borrowed a book from the hotel library and went upstairs to read. No sooner had he sat down than he heard someone hammering loudly at the wall. At first he paid no attention, but after a while he began to feel very uncomfortable. His clothes were slowly being covered with fine white powder.Soon there was so much dust in the room that he began to cough. The hammering was now louder than ever and bits of plaster were coming away from the walls. It looked as though the whole building was going to fall.Mr. Smith went immediately to complain to the manager. They both returned to the room, but everything was very quiet. As they stood there looking at each other, Mr. Smith felt rather embarrassed for having dragged the manager all the way up the stairs for nothing. All of a sudden, the hammering began again and a largebrick landed on the floor. Looking up, they saw a sharp metal tool had forced its way through the wall, making a very large hole right above the bed!Task2: Talking on a given topic Direction: Describe an embarrassing situation in which you got very angry.Task3: Role-playingDirections: The geology department of a major university is planning to admit 30 male and 5 female students. However, the results of the college entrance examination show that by average, of all the applicants, females have scored higher than most males. Should the department stick to its original plan?Student A: You think the department should still stick to the original plan, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember you should start the conversation. Student B: You don’t think the department should stick to the original plan, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember your partner will start the conversation.2003:Task1: Retelling a storyJust as Jane was joyfully expecting her first child, her active, energetic mother began losing her battle with a brain disease.For ten years, the fiercely independent and courageous mother had fought, but none of the surgeries or treatments had been successful. At only fifty-five, she became totally disabled- unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own.As the mother grew closer and closer to death, the baby grew closer and closer to life. Jane was afraid that her mother and her baby would never know each other. Her fear seemed well-founded. A few weeks before her due date, her mother lapsed into a deep coma. The doctors did not hold any hope. It was useless to put in a feeding tube, they said, for Mother would never awaken. So Jane brought Mother to her own bed in her own house. As often as she could, she sat beside her mother, talking about the baby moving inside her.On February 3, 1989, at about the same time Jane began to feel birth pains, Mother opened her eyes. Jane called home.“Mom, listen. My baby is coming! You’re going tohave a new grandchild. Do you understand!”“Yes,” Mother answered.What a wonderful word! The first clear word she’d spoken in months.By the time Jane brought her son home, her mother was sitting in her chair, dressed and ready to welcome the baby. For two weeks, Mother clucked, smiled and held the new-born baby. Then she quietly became unconscious and, after visits from all her children, was finally free of the pain.For Jane, memories of her son’s birth will always be bittersweet, but it was at this time that she learned an important truth about living. While both joy and sorrow pass quickly, and often come together at the same time, love has the power to overcome both. And love can last forever.2005Task1: Retelling a storyA little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.One night there was a fire in the house and thegrandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the first floor of the house was soon engulfed in flames.Neighbors called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Othersspoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them.Finally, the town’s richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy.”Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.“Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the meeting chairman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain. When he got to the front of the room, he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms. His hands and arms were terribly scarred.The child cried out. “This is the man who rescued me!”With a leap, she threw her arms around the man’s neck. She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments. Then she looked up and smiled at him.

When shefinished college at home in Britain, Pat chose to visit Latin America first, so she managed to get a job as an English teacher in a secondary school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even though they did not know much English.A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind: if you dream in a foreign language, it means that you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and she hoped that someday she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English.One day, Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early and had slept badly. Pat was quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English.“In English!”Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She was also secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish, but she decided to encourage her student and asked him to tell her about his dream.“All the people in my dream spoke English,” Tim said. “And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.”“But that’s wonderful,”said Pat. “What did all the people say to you?” she asked.“I’m sorry. Miss Jones, That’s why I slept so badly all through the night. I didn’t understand a word they said. It was a nightmare!” Tim answered.Task2: Talking on a given topic Directions: Describe one of the most unpleasant dreams you’ve ever had.Task3: Role-playingStudent A: Nowadays higher education is getting more and more expensive.

To quite a number of families it has become a big financial burden. You try to discuss this problem withstudent A. Your opinion is that it is unfair to put this big burden on parents since college students are already adults. Students themselves should find ways to pay their own tuition.2006Task1: Retelling a storyA philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty glass jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about two inches in diameter.He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,rolled into the open spaces between the rocks. The students laughed.He asked his students again if the jar was full. They agreed: yes, it was.The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.Of course, the sand filled up all the remaining space.“Now.”said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this is your life.”The rocks are the important things –your family, your partner, your health, your children–anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed. The pebbles are the other things in life that matter, but on a smaller scale. The pebbles represent things like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff.If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, or material things, you will never have room for the things that are truly most important. Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. Talk with your parents. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. “Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand. They will take care of themselves.”Task2: Talking on a given topic Directions: Describe a lesson you have learned which has enriched your life experience.Task3: Role-playingStudent A: You and your friend are discussing what you are going to do together during this coming summer vacation.

She loved her job and believed very strongly in practical work asa means of teaching science effectively.Once she decidedto show her pupils’parents how well their children were learning. To demonstrate the effectiveness of her methods she invited all the parents to come to the school to see the results of one of the children’s experiments. She scheduled this event for a Saturday evening, so all of the parents would be sure to come.The children were studying how plants grow. To see this process for themselves the students had planted four pots of beans. They had put poor soil in one pot to see what effect this would have on the growth of the beans. The other three pots of beans had good soil, but one pot had been placed in a dark room for several days and another pot was not watered for the same length of time. In this way the children were learning the effects of soil, water and sunlight on the growth of plants.At the end of the lesson on Friday afternoon, Anne put labels on the four pots. One label said, “The beans in this pot were planted in poor soil.” Another one said, “This pot has been kept in the dark for four days.”The third label read, “These beans have had no water for four days.” And the last one went like this: “These beans have had good soil,plenty of light and regular water.” Then she went home.She returned to school on Saturday evening,half an hour before the parents were due to come. She was surprised to find a note beside the pots. It said: “We read your notes to the school cleaning staff and decided to help them with your plants, so we watered all the plants, changed the earth in one with poor soil, and left the light on above the one that had been left in the dark for four days. We hope that the plants will now grow better.” Signed “The Boy Scouts”.Task2: Talking on a given topic Directions: Talk about an experience you have had in which you tried to help someone but actually caused trouble.

He had been driving for over five hours, heading for a small town far away from home. The weather was clear but it was dark and Mr. Fairfax could not find a motel to spend the night. Completely exhausted, he decided to stop by the roadside for a few hours’ sleep at the wheel of his car. He fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes. But soon he was awakened by a man tapping on the car window. “I say, you don’t happen to know the time, do you?” the stranger asked.Mr. Fairfax wound down the window and thrust his head out. “It’s around one o’clock,”he answered. Then he wound up his window and soon fell back into a deep slumber.Half an hour later, another guy came up and knocked on his window who also inquired about the time. Once again, Mr. Fairfax gathered his thoughts and told him that it was just after one-thirty.When the same thing happened yet again, Mr. Fairfax became increasingly irritated. Sleep-deprived, he began to raise his voice at the passer-by: “It’s two o’clock, God damn it! And why can’t you get yourself a watch like the rest of us?”This time when he was winding up the window, Mr. Fairfax figured out how to make sure no one else disturbed him.He found some paper and a pencil and wrote a note that he placed on the windscreen of his car. It said: “I don’t know what time it is!”Amused by his good idea, he happily drifted off back to sleep again.Not long afterwards, the note was spotted by a policeman on his night patrol. Intent on fulfilling his duty to assist motorists, he tapped on Mr. Fairfax’s car window. “Well, sir,”the policeman said. “Now it is five past three!”Task2: Talking on a given topicDescribe a situation in which you tried every means to avoid trouble, but in vain.Task3: Role-playingStudent A: Today in China, lots of famous people, such as athletes, are admitted to famous universities without taking the college entrance exam.

The TEM-4 speaking exam is a big deal for university students like me who are studying to become English teachers. I was so nervous!I woke up super early this morning and could hardly eat any breakfast because my tummy was doing flips. My mom made me some nice warm milk and toast though, which helped a little bit. Then I got dressed in my nicest school uniform and brushed my teeth like five times to make sure my breath was fresh. You have to look and smell your best for an important test like this!When it was time to go, my dad drove me to the exam center. It was a huge building with lots of classrooms and offices. There were already tons of students there, all looking just as nervous as me. We had to line up according to our registration numbers and wait to be called in one by one.Finally, it was my turn. I went into the exam room where there were two teachers sitting at a table. One was the examiner who would ask me questions, and the other was just watching to score me. I said "Good morning" with my biggest smile and sat篇2My Favorite AnimalHi everyone! Today, I want to share with you all about my favorite animal. Can you guess what it is? Yes, you got it right! It's the mighty and adorable panda!Pandas are the cutest animals ever. They have black and white fur, which makes them look like little teddy bears. I think they are the most huggable creatures in the whole wide world! Whenever I see a picture of a panda, my heart melts with joy.One of the reasons why I love pandas so much is because they are so gentle and peaceful. They spend most of their time eating bamboo and taking naps. Who wouldn't want a life like that? I wish I could join them and munch on bamboo all day long. It sounds like a dream come true!Did you know that pandas are also very rare? They are native to China and there are only about 1,800 left in the wild. That'swhy it's so important to protect them and their natural habitat. I learned about this in school, and it made me realize how special and precious pandas are.Another thing that fascinates me about pandas is their playful nature. They love to roll around and climb trees. I once saw a video of a panda cub playing with its mom, and it was the most adorable thing ever! I wish I could have a pet panda and play with it all day long. But I know that pandas are wild animals and they belong in the wild where they can be free.In conclusion, pandas are my favorite animals because they are cute, gentle, rare, and playful. I hope that one day I can visit China and see pandas in person. It would be a dream come true! Until then, I will keep learning more about these amazing creatures and spreading awareness about the importance of protecting them.Thank you for listening to my little speech. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed talking about my favorite animal. Let's all do our part to protect pandas and make sure they have a safe and happy home. Together, we can make a difference!That's it! I hope you find this article helpful for your English proficiency test. Good luck, and I'm sure you'll do great!篇3My English Talking Test AdventureHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I just had the craziest experience and I can't wait to tell you all about it! You see, I had to take this big important English test called the CET-4 Oral Test. It's a huge deal for grown-ups who want to go to university or get good jobs. But get this - they actually let kids like me take it too!I was sooo nervous leading up to the test day. My English teacher Mrs. Roberts had been prepping our class for weeks. We practiced asking and answering questions, giving opinions, and even did some role-plays. She said it would be just like a natural conversation, but I was still really anxious.Finally the day arrived! My mom dropped me off at the testing center bright and early. There were tons of college kids there looking very serious and stressed out. I just tried to stay calm and focus on what Mrs. Roberts taught us.The test had two main parts - first they asked me some questions, and then I had to give a little presentation on a topic. For the questions, this nice lady asked me stuff like "What's your favorite subject in school?" and "What do you like to do for funon the weekends?" Easy peasy! I just answered like I would normally.Then came the presentation part. I had to choose from a few topics and talk about it for 2-3 minutes all by myself. I picked "My Favorite Pet" since I love my dog Buddy so much. I pretty much just rambled on about how cute and funny he is, the silly tricks I've taught him, and that one time he ate my homework! I tried to use some longer sentences and bigger vocabulary words that Mrs. Roberts went over with us.When I was done talking, the lady asked me a couple follow-up questions about what I said. Those were a cinch since it was all about my own dog! I don't know if I completely aced the whole thing, but I think I did a pretty good job overall.While I was waiting for my mom to pick me up, I saw some of the college kids coming out looking confused and worried. I felt kind of bad for them since they clearly found it way harder than I did. I guess taking tests when you're just a kid is easier since we don't get all stressed and overthink things!Anyways, that's the whole story of my wild adventure with the CET-4 Oral Test. Who knew they'd let a 10-year-old take a big fancy English exam? I'm just glad I got to gush about my dog and show off what I've learned in Mrs. Roberts's class. Hopefully Idid okay and made her proud! If you ever have to take a speaking test like that, just relax and imagine you're chatting with a friend. Easy as pie!篇4The English Test Was Really Hard!Hi! My name is Tommy and I'm 8 years old. I just took a really big English test called the English Level 4 oral exam. It was super duper hard! I had to talk a whole bunch in English for like forever. My mouth got so tired from all the talking!The first part was answering questions about myself. That wasn't too bad because I could just say my name, age, where I live, stuff like that. But then it got way harder!They showed me some pictures and I had to describe them. One picture was of a kitchen and I had to name all the things I could see like the stove, fridge, counter, and cabinets. Another was outside with trees, a lake, and ducks swimming. I tried my best to say everything in full sentences like "I see five ducks swimming in the lake."After that, they asked me to talk about my daily routine. I said I wake up at 7am, brush my teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast,then go to school. At school I have math, reading, PE, art, and other classes. I told them about my favorite subjects and what we do. Then I explained how I come home, do homework, play outside, eat dinner, take a bath, and go to bed. Phew, that was a lot to remember!The next section was the hardest. I had to pretend to be different people and act out little scenes. First I was a server at a restaurant and had to take a customer's order. I said "Welcome to Tommy's Diner, what would you like today?" And then I wrote down their fake order.Then I was a doctor and a kid came in saying their arm hurt. I had to ask questions like "Does this hurt when I do this?" and tell them what was wrong. I said they just had a little sprain and needed to ice it.After that I became a police officer talking to someone who got robbed. I asked "Can you describe what the robber looked like?" And told them we would investigate and try to catch the bad guy. Man, being all those different people was really tough!Finally, the very last part was talking about my opinions on different topics. They asked me things like what's my favorite animal, food, sport, TV show, etc. I said my favorite animal is dogs because they're cute, friendly, and like to play fetch. Myfavorite food is pizza because it's cheesy and delicious. Soccer is the best sport since it's fun to run around and kick the ball.They also asked about more serious things like littering or bullying. I said littering is bad for the environment and makes places look really messy and yucky. Bullying is just mean and can really hurt people's feelings. We should always be nice to each other instead.I got asked a zillion other questions too like what I want to be when I grow up (a doctor to help people!), my favorite holiday (Christmas because of the presents!), and what superpowers I wish I had (definitely flying so I could soar through the sky!).By the time it was all over, I was exhausted! Talking nonstop in English for so long is no joke. My brain felt like mush at the end. But I tried my absolute hardest and think I did a pretty good job, despite how insanely difficult it was.I really hope I passed the English Level 4 oral exam. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed! If I did well, maybe I'll get to go on a fun trip or get a special treat. Wish me luck!Welp, that's about all I can tell you about the big bad test. It was one of the most challenging things I've ever done, but Isurvived! Thanks for listening to me blab on and on about it. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a longgggg nap!篇5My School DayHi there! My name is Alex and I'm 8 years old. I go to Oakwood Elementary School. Today I'm gonna tell you all about a normal day at my school. Get ready because it's a long story!The day starts super early for me. My mom's alarm clock goes off at 6:30am and she comes into my room to wake me up.I never want to get out of my warm, cozy bed but she makes me. We have breakfast together - usually cereal or oatmeal with fruit. Then I get dressed for school while mom packs my lunchbox.At 7:45am, we head out the door and walk the six blocks to my school. I like looking at all the houses and yards along the way. Sometimes I see squirrels or birds playing outside. When we get to school, mom gives me a hug and a kiss and I go line up with my class by the front doors.The bell rings at 8:10am and we all go inside to our classroom. My teacher is Mrs. Parker and she's really nice. She makes us hang up our backpacks and coats on the hooks andthen we sit on the carpet for the morning meeting. We go over the schedule for the day and what special classes we have like art, music, or gym. Then we do the Pledge of Allegiance and a kid gets picked to lead the morning greeting before we sing a song together.After that, we move to our desks and work on our morning work - usually reading comprehension or math worksheets. I like the reading better than the math problems. Once we've finished our work, we take a bathroom break and Mrs. Parker goes over what we did with the whole class.Next up is my favorite part of the day - literacy time! Mrs. Parker reads us a new book and we talk about what's happening in the story. Then we might do an activity or craft related to the book. Last week, we made paper bag puppets of the characters after reading a fairy tale book. I love listening to Mrs. Parker read out loud. She does all the funny voices for the characters.After literacy time, we put away the books and pull out our snacks for a quick snack break at 10:15am. I usually have an apple or banana with some crackers or pretzels. While we're eating, Mrs. Parker lets us quietly talk with our friends. I sit next to my best friend Emma and we always share parts of our snacks.Once snack time is over, we move into math. This is my least favorite subject because I think the problems are really hard sometimes. But Mrs. Parker is good at explaining it in a way that makes sense. We first go over the homework from the night before on the smart board. Then she teaches us a new lesson and we practice problems together before working on them alone or with a partner.Math goes until 11:30am, which is when we clean up and get ready for lunch and recess. My favorite lunch is the chicken nuggets with a side of tater tots! They also have good slices of pizza. We have 20 minutes to eat in the noisy lunchroom before going out for recess.Recess is the absolute BEST part of the day! I get to run around and play games with my friends on the playground for a whole 40 minutes. We play tag, jump rope, tetherball - you name it! Sometimes I just swing on the swings and try to go super duper high. Other times, we playlittle make-believe games likeHouse or Superheroes. My friend Michael and I dig in the rocks looking for cool ones to add to our collections too.When the recess bell rings at 12:30pm, we have to go line up again to head back inside. Ugh, I never want recess to be over! We go back to our classroom for silent reading time. Mrs. Parkerputs on calm music and we can read any book we want quietly at our desks for 30 minutes. I'm working on this long Magic Tree House book right now.After reading time, we switch to science or social studies depending on the day. Science is way more interesting to me. We just started a unit on electricity and circuits which is really cool. We even get to do experiments! In social studies, we're learning about maps and geography which can be kind of boring in my opinion.At 2pm, we have our second snack break and bathroom break of the day. I'm always starving by this point! When we come back, we have free choice time for an hour. We can pick from centers like building blocks, play-doh, drawing, board games, or the classroom library. Free choice is awesome but it goes by too fast.The very last thing we do each day is have a closing circle all together on the carpet. We go over anything important for the next day, sing a goodbye song, and then finally get dismissed. I walk home with my mom and we always stop at the park on the way so I can run around for a little bit to get my wiggles out after sitting so much during the day.Once I'm back home, I have a small snack and then start my homework. It's usually just a math worksheet and some reading. On nights I don't have soccer practice, I also get to watch a show or play outside before dinner. We eat together as a family and then I take my bath and get ready for bed around 8pm.Phew, that was one seriously long story about my typical school day! Does your day sound anything like mine? School keeps me busy from sunshine to sunshine. Even though there's lots of work, there's also plenty of time for fun, friends, and doing things I love. I feel pretty lucky to go to such an awesome school with a nice teacher and classmates. What did you think of my big story? Let me know if you have any other questions!篇6My School DayHi there! My name is Lucy and I'm 8 years old. I'm in 3rd grade at Oakwood Elementary School. Today I'm going to tell you all about my typical day at school. Get ready, because it's a long one!The alarm clock rings at 6:30am to wake me up. I don't like getting up that early, but I have to be at school by 8am. My mom comes into my room to make sure I'm awake. "Rise and shine,sleepyhead!" she says in a silly voice. I groan and pull the covers over my head. "Five more minutes?" I plead. But mom is having none of it. She opens the blinds to let the morning sunlight in. "Up and at 'em, missy! You don't want to be late."Grudgingly, I drag myself out of my cozy bed. I put on my school uniform - a blue polo shirt, khaki shorts, and white sneakers. After getting dressed, I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and comb my hair. I make sure to brush really well, because I don't want any cavities!Next it's downstairs for breakfast. My favorite is pancakes, but we usually just have cereal or toast during the week since it's faster. This morning it's Frosted Flakes. My little brother Dylan is already at the table, making a mess as usual. "Hands out of the milk!" mom scolds him. I gobble down my breakfast, trying to wake up.At 7:15, mom rounds us up to go. "Backpacks, lunchboxes, let's go!" she hollers. I run back upstairs to grab my Paw Patrol backpack and lunchbox. Dylan has Spiderman ones. We all pile into the car and mom drives us to school. In the car, I like looking out the window at all the houses and trees going by.We arrive at school right around 7:45. Mom drops me and Dylan off at the front entrance. "Have a great day, kiddos! Loveyou!" she calls out the window as we head inside. "Love you too!" we shout back.The first bell rings at 7:55, which means we have 5 minutes to get to our classrooms. I hang my backpack on the hook outside Mrs. Henderson's 3rd grade room and take my seat at my desk. I always sit in the second row near the window so I can see the whiteboard and look outside sometimes. My best friend Ava sits right next to me.The final bell rings at 8am and school officially begins! Mrs. Henderson calls the class to order. "Good morning, boys and girls! Who's ready to learn today?" she asks in a sing-song voice. We all groan loudly - learning is not our favorite thing first thing in the morning.The first subject of the day is math. I kind of like math, but only when I understand what we're doing. Today we're working on multiplication and division, which is pretty tricky. Mrs. Henderson puts some problems up on the board and we have to try solving them in our workbooks. Whenever I get stuck, I raise my little hand so she can come over and help me.After math, we switch to language arts around 9:30. This is my favorite subject! Today we're reading a story about a girl who finds a magical seashell at the beach. Mrs. Henderson has awhole beach scene set up at the front of the class, with a big blue blanket as the "ocean." As she reads the story aloud, she acts it out by walking around on the blanket. I love it when we do scenes like that to make the books come alive!Once story time is over, we break into groups to discuss the themes and plot of the book. What did we think the magical shell's powers were? What would we wish for if we found it? My group decides we would wish for ice cream sandwiches to rain from the sky. Hey, a kid can dream!At 10:15 we get to go outside for recess. Finally, time to play and get our wiggles out! The playground has all the classics - swings, monkey bars, see-saws, and plenty of open space to run around. Most of the time I just chase my friends around for tag or hide-and-seek. We only get 25 minutes, which goes by way too fast in my opinion.After recess, we head back inside for science class until 11:30. Science is pretty neat - who doesn't love learning about dinosaurs, planets, and bubbles? The lesson today is on the life cycle of butterflies. We even get to watch a video of a caterpillar forming its cocoon and emerging as a butterfly. So cool! For the activity, we color in pictures showing the different stages. Mine turns out pretty messy, but hey, at least I tried.Once science is done, it's time for my very favorite part of the day - lunch! I rush to be first in the lunch line. I can't wait to see what's in my lunchbox...please be pizza dippers, please be pizza dippers! Score - mom packed a thermos full of warm pizza。

英语专业四级口语考试真题2022年
英语专业四级口语考试真题2022年The pursuit of language proficiency, particularly in English, has become a global phenomenon, and the English major's oral examination is a testament to this pursuit. The examination not only assesses the linguistic abilities of the candidates but also their critical thinking, cultural awareness, and ability to articulate ideas coherently. In 2022, the English Major Level 4 (TEM-4) oral examination presented a unique set of challenges and opportunities for students to demonstrate their proficiency.The examination's format typically includes a presentation and a question-and-answer session, which allows examiners to evaluate a student's fluency, accuracy, and communicative effectiveness. The topics often revolve around current events, social issues, and scenarios that require problem-solving skills. For instance, one of the questions might involve discussing the impact of social media on interpersonal communication. Students are expected to present a balanced view, considering both the advantages and disadvantages, and to support their arguments with relevant examples.Another common task in the oral exam is role-playing. Students may be asked to assume a character in a given situation and interact with the examiner or another student. This tests their ability to adapt language to different contexts, use appropriate register and tone, and engage in spontaneous dialogue. For example, a scenario might involve resolving a conflict between roommates, requiring the student to demonstrate negotiation skills and empathy.Cultural topics also feature prominently in the examination. Students might be asked to compare cultural practices, discuss the significance of cultural heritage, or explain how cultural understanding can bridge gaps between communities. These questions assess a student's cultural intelligence and their ability to communicate across cultural boundaries.The 2022 oral exam also placed emphasis on the integration of technology in communication. Students had to discuss the role of technology in education, the workplace, and personal life. They needed to critically analyze the benefits andchallenges posed by technological advancements and their implications for future communication patterns.In preparing for the oral examination, students must focus on developing a wide range of vocabulary, mastering grammatical structures, and practicing pronunciation. However, beyond these linguistic elements, they must also cultivate the ability to think on their feet, engage in critical analysis, and express their thoughts with clarity and coherence.The oral examination is not merely a test of language; it is an assessment of a student's ability to function effectively in an English-speaking environment. It challenges them to apply their language skills in practical, real-world situations, and in doing so, prepares them for the global stage. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the ability to communicate effectively in English is not just an academic requirement; it is a vital skill for personal and professional success.In conclusion, the English Major Level 4 oral examination is a comprehensive test that goes beyond mere language proficiency. It evaluates a student's communicative competence, cultural understanding, and critical thinking abilities. As such, it serves as an important milestone for English majors, marking their readiness to engage with the world as informed, articulate, and culturally aware individuals. The 2022 examination, with its focus on current issues and practical scenarios, provided a platform for students to showcase their language skills and their preparedness to navigate the complexities of global communication. 。

Task I: Listen to the recorded passage twice and then retell it.Whenever Mr. Smith goes to Westgate, he stays at the Grand Hotel. In spite of its name, it is really not very "grand," but it is cheap, clean, and comfortable. Since he knows the manager well, he never has to go to the trouble of reserving a room. The fact is that he always gets the same room. It is situated at the far end of the building and overlooks a beautiful bay.On his last visit, Mr. Smith was told that he could have his usual room, but the manager added apologetically that it might be a little noisy. So great was the demand for rooms, the manager said, that the hotel had decided to build a new wing. Mr. Smith said he did not mind. It amused him to think that the dear old Grand Hotel was making an effort to live up to its name.During the first day Mr. Smith hardly noticed the noise at all. The room was a little dusty, but that was natural. The following afternoon, he borrowed a book from the hotel library and went upstairs to read. No sooner had he sat down than he heard someone hammering loudly at the wall. At first he paid no attention, but after a while he began to feel very uncomfortable. His clothes were slowly being covered with fine white powder. Soon there was so much dust in the room that he began to cough. The hammering was now louder than ever and bits of plaster were coming away from the walls. It looked as though the whole building was going to fall. Mr. Smith went immediately to complain to the manager. They both returned to the room, but everything was very quiet. As they stood there looking at each other, Mr. Smith felt rather embarrassed for having dragged the manager all the way up the stairs for nothing. All of a sudden, the hammering began again and a large brick landed on the floor. Looking up, they saw a sharp metal tool had forced its way through the wall, making a very large hole right above the bed! (355 words)Task II: Talk based on a given topic.Describe an embarrassing situation in which you got very angry.Task III: Carry out a conversation with your partner based on a given situation.The geology department of a major university is planning to admit 30 male and 5 female students.

Should the department stick to its original plan?Student A: You think the department should still stick to the original plan, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember you should start the conversation.Student B: You DON'T think the department should stick to the original plan, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember your partner will start the conversation.全国高校英语专业四级口试考题Task 1 Retell a storyYou will listen to the story twice, and after that you should retell the story immediately within three minutes。
（录音原文）A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty glass jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about 2 inches in diameter. He then asked the students if it was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly, the pebbles of course rolled into the open spaces between the rocks. The students laughed. He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed: ‘Yes, it was.’ The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course the sand filled up all the remaining space. ‘Now,’ said the professor, ‘I want you to recognize that this is your life.The rocks are the important things, your family, your partner, your health, your children, anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you will be destroyed. The pebbles are the other things in life that matter but on a smaller scale. The pebbles represent things like your job, your house, your car.The sand is everything else, the small staff.

For ten years, the fiercely independent and courageous mother had fought, but none of the surgeries or treatments had been successful. At only fifty-five, she became totally disabled-unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own.As the mother grew closer and closer to death, the baby grew closer and closer to life. Jane was afraid that her mother and her baby would never know each other. Her fear seemed well-founded. A few weeks before her due date, her mother lapsed into a deep coma. The doctors did not hold any hope. It was useless to put in a feeding tube, they said, for Mother would never awaken. So Jane brought Mother to her own bed in her own house. As often as she could, she sat beside her mother, talking about the baby moving inside her.On February 3, 1989, at about the same time Jane began to feel birth pains, Mother opened her eyes. Jane called home."Mom, listen. My baby is coming! You're going to have a new grandchild. Do you understand?""Yes," Mother answered.What a wonderful word! The first clear word she'd spoken in months.By the time Jane brought her son home, her mother was sitting in her chair, dressed and ready to welcome the baby. For two weeks, Mother clucked, smiled and held the new-born baby. Then she quietly became unconscious and, after visits from all her children, was finally free of the pain.For Jane, memories of her son's birth will always be bittersweet, but it was at this time that she learned an important truth about living. While both joy and sorrow pass quickly, and often come together at the same time, love has the power to overcome both. And love can last forever.

When she finished college at home in Britain Pat chose to visit Latin America first, so she managed to get a job as an English teacher in a secondary school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even though they did not know much English.A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind: if you dream in a foreign language, it means that you have really mastered it. Patrepeated this sentence to her students and she hoped that someday she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English.One day Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early and had slept badly. Pat was quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English."In English!" Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She was also secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish, but she decided to encourage her student and asked him to tell her about his dream."All the people in my dream spoke English," Tim said. "And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.""But that's wonderful," said Pat. "What did all the people say to you?" she asked."I'm sorry, Miss Jones. That's why I slept so badly all through the night. I didn't understand a word they said. It was a nightmare!" Tim answered.
