英语口语对话10个Topic

1. Holidays

A: Hey, Bill, the winter holiday is coming. Are you excited?

B: Y eah. I have been away from home for half a year. I miss my families. How about you? A: I am also eager to go back home. You hometown is in the south of China, right? Can you tell me about how to celebrate Spring Festival in your region?

B: People will do Spring Festival shopping, and buy lots of food, new clothes, and so on. Kids like playing fireworks. But It’s a little dangerous. In the New Year’s Eve, families get together to have a big dinner.

A: It sounds great. In the north, people would have dumplings. It’s delicious, but a little difficult to make. Do you have dumplings?

B: No, it’s not a tradition in the south. As you say, it’s complicated to make. But we will eat rice dumpling.

A: Oh, maybe southern people have the right choice. In Spring Festival, we place doublets on our door and make New Year cake. We also have family reunion dinner. And people would watch the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV. To be honest, I don’t really like it. It’s getting more and more tedious. B: Yeah, I agree with that. But people seem to have no choices but watch the Gala. It has become a tradition to stay home late watching TV, and, in the next morning, people get up early to visit neighbors.

A: Yeah, in my hometown, we sleep for only 4 or 5 hours. I hate it, for it’s cold and dark outside. I just wonder why we cannot get up as usual.

B: Oh, it’s the tradition, which we should respect. By the way, when will you come back to school?

A: Maybe before the Lantern Festival. What a pity! How about you?

B: The same with you. We can celebrate the Lantern Festival in Beijing. Maybe we can have more fun. How about going to visit some interesting places together when we come back? A: Good idea. It’s a deal.

B: Deal!!!

2. Travel

A: Hey, Bill, long time no see. Where have you been these days?

B: I have been to Hangzhou for five days.

A: Oh, I heard that there are many places of interest in Hangzhou. So how was your trip?

B: It’s great. Exactly I visited the West Lake. It's really beautiful. The lake is very large and the water is clean.

A: Yeah, West Lake is really a great place that I want to visit. Have you been to Leifeng Towel? B: Yeah, of course. Everyone knows the love story of BaiSuzhen and Xu Xian. It would be a pity if I have’t visited the Leifeng Towel.

A: That’s right. I must have a visit there if I had a chance. By the way, do you like travel?

B: Y es, I love travel . Not just for fun, it's also educational. It gives me chances to know different places and cultures. In addition, it teaches me how to communicate with strangers and deal with urgencies.

A: I can't agree more. I also like travel very much. After I coming to Beijing, I went to many famous places like Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Tian'anmen Square on weekends. But there are always crowds of people and it's really tough to get on buses or subway. By the way, where do you want to visit most in the world?

B: I want to go to Maldives most. You know, Maldives is an island nation with beautiful scenery. The long white beach, colorful coral and clean water deeply .those all attract me. I have been dreaming to go there for a long time.

A: Wow, it sounds really attractive. I want to see Pyramids in Egypt.

B: Oh, that’s also a wonderful place. Maybe we can go there together someday.

A: Yeah, I think it will come soon. Have a nice day. See you.

B: See you.

3. Transport

A: Hey, Bill, what’s wrong with you? You were absent from Science and Art class this evening. And Mr. Sun may be angry with you.

B: Really? Oh, I happened to meet a traffic jam from my workplace.

A: Ye, the transport in BJ are so terrible, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. By the way, when were you back to school?

B: About eight ‘clock. You know, originally, it just takes me less than one hour from my workplace to school if everything goes well, but today, I have been standing on the bus for almost about two hours.

A: I’m sorry to hear that. Last week, I went to Chaoyang District for an interview. The bus was always at a standstill, and all I could do was waiting patiently. I was so bored at that time.

B: It’s true; maybe the only landscape I can see is bicycle weaving their way slowly between bus and car.

A: However, some people riding bicycles don’t abide by the traffic r ules. It has a so bad impact on the transport.

B: You are right. If everyone obeys the rules, maybe the whole condition will be improved greatly.

A: I think, it’s more convenient for us to ride a bicycle than take a bus in Beijing. And I really want to own a bicycle.

B: Agree with you, and I’m just thinking about buying a bicycle

A: Well, can we buy the bicycles together?

B: Why not? What about this weekend? I will call you, OK?

A: OK. See you this weekend.

A: Hey, Bill, long time no see. How is it going?

B: Everything is fine. How about you?

A: I am fine, too! Do you like the weather in Beijing?

B: No, I don’t like it. The weather here is dry and little rain along the all year.

A: Yes, I agree. The sky is always full of dust and not very clear all day. Do you know what the reason is?

B: I think the trees around the Beijing city become less and less. When the big wind comes, it brings a lot of dust. So the color of the sky becomes yellow.

B:and The output waste is increasing year by year. The more we get, the more we throw away. A: Yeah. People will not be aware of the seriousness until they face a really bad situation. You know, in the last two month, people in Beijing had suffered a lot with the foggy weather.

A: We had better stay indoors. But we cannot escape from the bad situation of our environment. We must do something to improve it.

B: So do you know some measures to solve these problems?

A: I think our government should make more laws to prevent cutting trees, polluting water and atmosphere.

B: Maybe we can enhance everyone’s awarness of protecting the environment. When everyone know the importance, our environment will be become more and more better .

A: That’s right. Wish we’ll have a better environment in the future.

B: Y eah, that won’t be long.

5. Education

A: Hey, Bill, do you know one of my classmates went to America last week?

B: Oh, really. What does he do in America?

B: Because I think there are many good universities in America. These universities have enough

scientific research funds, many famous scientists, and a lot of advanced equipments.

B: Yes, you are very right. But I think there are many problems in our education. And in the field which I’m interested in, some schools in America lead the World. So I will do my best to earn a chance to study abroad?

A: Well, I hope you would get a chance and accept education in America someday.

B: Oh, I hope so, thank you. So what about you? Do you want to acquire a Ph. D?

A: I don’t think I’m equal to do some research. So I will look for a job after I graduate.

A: Of course. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will be certain.

A: Noting, I visited my foreign teacher just now, but it seemed that he didn't want to talk with me. I don't think my English is such bad.

B: I see. You do speak excellent English, but communication is more than pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. It means a lot more.

A: I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.（我不懂你的意思）

B: Ok. Let me put it another way. Did your teacher look displeased?

A: Yes, he did. Did I annoy him?

B: I guess so. But I don’t think it has anything to do with your English. It must be your way of doing things or saying things. In other words, you didn’t pay attention to the cultural rules. A: That’s exactly what he said to me.

B: Ok, tell me briefly about your visit to him and let me see what happened.

A: All right. I went to see Mr. Travis just now. He was eating. I knocked on the door. No one answered. I pushed the door open, and I found him eating. Why didn’t he open the door right away? B: I see. Did you make an appointment before you visit?

A: No, I thought I knew him quite well, I chatted with him often, you know.

before you go to a foreign’s home.
