英语口语考试个人话题

1.Is it possible for a woman to be a successful mother and have asuccessful professional career? Should society encourage or discourage women from combining the two?Yes， I think a woman can be a successful mother and have a successful professional career but it is a little difficult. Because women usually are the caregivers for husbands, children and, often, for ageing parents. And even in full-time employment, they are expected to continue to play this role. But I don’t think the two are conflicted. Society should encourage women from combining the two, because man and woman are equal. It is not just mothers’ obligation to care for the children. On the other hand, how difficult to find a job for a divorced woman in such a high-divorce society? Both men and women should learn to balance their work and family.2. Should University students focus on their specialized areas or fundamental courses?I think university students should focus on their fundamental courses. Specialized areas are based on fundamental courses. For example, how can you build a tall building without a solid foundation? The same is true of learning.Usually the knowledge we learned in university are disjointed from development of society. So when we are applying for jobs after graduation, we may find the professional knowledge we have is out of date. It will be difficult to learn new things without a solid foundation. Despite all the apparent changes, what remains essentially the same are the fundamental courses. I believe fundamental courses are the roots of great innovation.3.Should students choose their majors to meet their personal needs andinterests or the need of society?I think students should choose majors to meet the need of society. Here are some reasons.First, from a personal perspective, the ultimate aim of going to college is to find a job and make money. So what we need to think about is how to meet the requirements of society and enterprises. Only in this way can we find a job easily so that we can realize our value. If we only consider personal needs and interests when choose majors, we are likely to fail to find a job after graduation.Second, from a social perspective, the purpose of our studying in college is to serve society with what we learn. So it would be useless if we ignore social demands when choose majors.In a word, I think the majors we choose should depend on the needs of society.4. Indoor and outdoor activities, which one do you prefer?I prefer outdoor activities. First of all, I can not only keep fit but also be close to nature and breathe fresh air. Evidence has shown that connecting with nature can boost moods and bring even greater advantages. In addition, I like challenging sports such as skiing and orienteering which I can’t do indoors. If I choose stay indoors, I feel like I would be bound by the activities I could do. Besides, I think there are more choices and freedom to do outdoor activities. For example, if I want to picnic at beach, I can go off on my bike, play on the beach and enjoy the beauty of sunset.I believe I can have more fun to do outdoor activities.At the same time, there are also disadvantages of outdoor activities. It is full of all kinds of dangerous and uncertain factors.

If I can make others happy, I will be very happy, and people will remember me. At the same time, the distance between people get closer in the process of joking with each other. On the other hand, if someone maliciously playing tricks on me, it will make me angry. I absolutely can't tolerate others to insult me. Entertainment activities must be based on mutual respect. No one can beyond the bottom line.In a word, I don't mind being played a trick on during entertainment to please everyone, as long as it is appropriate.5.
