But when we were climbing mountain, I fell down. So I hurt my leg, I could hardly walk at all.One of my friends whose home is near brought me to his home. His mother is very kind, she helped me and my friend asked me :"How do you feel now? Do you need I send you to the hospital? "I was moved by him.3.From Bill Gates’ dropout of Harvard, can we tell that college education meansnothing to one’s success?Although it is true that Bill Gates has gotten great achievement and he dropped out from college. But it doesn't mean college education not work on his success. Instead, he had learned the knowledge of computer when he was in high school. He tried to build up a complex operating system when he was in college. So we find that it is the college education that provided Bill Gates the opportunity to have a dream and the opportunity of trying to realize it. So I think college education is important for us.4.From Bill Gates’ life, what conclusion can we draw as to the relationship betweencollege degree and success?First, the college education provides a relatively more focused education service on the field where you are aiming to, dreaming at or interested in, which is needed to have further achievements.And second, it offers a diverse but generally helpful atmosphere of learning and using knowledge, leading to a healthy upgrading of personal prospects.Finally, the college education tends to be more socialized in order to help students to get social abilities.So to sum up, we firmly believe that college degree is essential in becoming asuccessful person.5.What are the positive and (advantage and disadvantage ) of exercise?Exercise do us good in many respects .For example, taking exercise is good for our health.

However, as the saying goes, "a coin has two side", and exercise is without exception. We may hurt ourselves if we are not careful enough. What’s more, excessive exercise can lead to the loss of many trace elements, it is bad for our health.6.One of your classmates wants to drop out in order to set up his own business.Please persuade him to give up his mind./link?url=c5s-Y7sRRncKHWe1ZpNKF_xZ1sxeFlRLzlIXU9pefPUF3PIPdwp8ZzRDTBcNI62KAY ZJ2FbFeoqD6ECKdKQQbZ99NxTKeXRdddpaLuXSBva&pn=51。
新视野第三册英语口语答案
1.Do you have a good memory? Why do you say so?No, I don’t think I have a good memory. Because I think having a good memory means learning everything quickly . People who have a good memory can remember things clearly. When they have had a class , they can remember the important points what teacher have emphasized. What’s more , They are also good at reciting, they can recite books well and easily . So they have good performance in study. At last, people who have good memories means they can arrange everything perfectly, everything in their mind .But I don’t have these talents. I can’t learn things quickly, I can’t remember things clearly , either. When I am in junior middle school , I read my lessons many times until I can recite them completely. I usually forget things in my dormitory. To avoid forgetting important things, I have a note book and write everything on it.. after all ,my bad memory haven’t had any influence on my life. It makes me study hardly and have a colourful life.2.What measures would you like to take to improve your memory?To improve my memory, I will make a detailed plan and obey it.First, I will carry a notebook. I will write down the important things on it and refer to it to see if I have forget something important.Secondly, I will ask favors of my roommates. They will remind me of what I have forget to do.Thirdly, I will take exercise regularly to keep my brain active. What’s more ,taking exercise is also good for our health.Fourthly, when I am sleepy, I will go to the garden and breathe the fresh air, which is really good to relax our mind. As we all know , getting plenty of sleep is the best way to rest our brain.Lastly , Success belongs to the persevering . I will keep working hard to improve my memory.3.What do you think are the qualities of a good teacher and a good student?A good teacher have many fine qualities. First , They respect their student. When the students make mistakes, they will talk to them instead of swear at them. They will tell the students where have they gone wrong and how to make up the mistakes. What’s more, a good teacher will make friends with their students. They can communicate with each other freely. Topics are variedwithout limited.Well as a good student, he or she should work hard on their study. This is the basic standard of a good student. Secondly, they should respect their teachers and classmates. What’s more , they will be enthusiastic to help each other. Last but not the least, a good student should be innovative.4. Have you ever skipped a class? Why?Yes ,I have skipped a class. Because I have to take a driving test.5. What do you think are the important factors to make a successful marriage?A successful marriage is making up of many aspects. First, the couples should respect each other. How to respect each other? Having trust in each other is the most important thing. When the husband return home late some day, the wife shouldn’t have a distrust of the husband without an evidence. Second ,the couples should care for each other. When one of them is tired or ill, the other one should attend the sick one. Third, both of the couples have to learn to look the other’s parents as their own parents. Last but not the least, the couples should always talk to each other. By communicating to each other they can solve the problems at once.As far as I am concerned, if the couples really love each other, there is no difficulty solving any problems.6. What do you think are the reasons for a divorce?There are many couples divorce nowadays. Why do they divorce? I think there are three main reasons. First , the couples have different disposition. Any shortcomings of disposition can be forgiven when they first fall in love with each other. But things get worse when they get married and live together. They can’t put up with each other. Second , different people have different living styles. When two sweethearts become husband and wife, they will live together. That’s the begin of contradiction. The couple most likely go to divorce if one of them can’t bear the other’s living style. Third , some couples divorce because of financial problems. When the family become so poor that the couple can’t live together, they always choose to get divorced. Last but not theleast, I think the most probable reason for a divorce is the couples don’t love each other as deeply as they can solve any problems.7. What do you prefer: a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond in the case of job seeking?As far as I am concerned, I prefer a small fish in a big pound to a big fish in a small pound. A big fish in a small pound can be number.1. and they can do many things easily. But the restrictions will limit its growth. It can only remain the same and can’t become bigger.Well a small fish in a big pound is a different thing. The small fish have to work hard to become stronger to survive in the big pound. In the big pound , there are many great fishes or some other things. The small fish have many teachers to learn from. In this environment, the small fish can develop fast and become a great one. Even it can’t become a great fish, it will become better than the big fish in a small pound.I want to be a small fish in a big pound. Although it is dangerous , I also want to work hard to fight for my own life.8. What courses are useful for one’s job? How do you prepare in college for your future career?We stay in the university and have courses everyday. As we all know ,we study so many years to find a good job when we graduate. But do you know what courses are useful for our job.First, we spend many years on studying English. English is surely important for our jobs in the future. We can’t find a good job without an English certificate. What’s more , your English must be really good if you want to work in a foreign company. Second ,math is used in everywhere ,we should learn math good. Third, we need to learn more practical courses. Because most of the time we stay in the school and have little connect with the society. We should spend more time learning the society.As far as I am concerned, to find a good job in the fture, I have a long wayito go. On one hand ,I should work hard to won a better achievement which is the base to find a good job. On the other hand, I have to learn to innovate. Innovation is a big advantages in job market nowadays. I think I can find a good job in the future.9. If you wanted to start a business, which factors would you consider? Running a business successfully needs lots of preparation. You should consider many factors to solve the problems you likely meet. So what factors would you consider? Listen to me first.First ,you need a lot of bright people. People with special skills is the most important factor to start a business. These people have good ideas and good qualities. They can help you achieve you goals.Second ,you need to cling to your purpose. You can’t give up when you meet a difficulty. If you want to be successful at last . you should hold on till end. You should believe in the words: He who laughs at last laughs best. Third, you should study everyday. Know ledge is the power. Reading books and newspapers everyday. Talking with people of wide information. You can learn a lot from them. Plenty of knowledge may help you a lot in the future. Last but not the least, you should be a kind and stay on the right side of the law.10. Would you like to be a boss or a well-paid employee? Why?Would you like to be a boss or a well-paid employee? Different people have different ideas. The two jobs both have their advantages and disadvantages. However I want two be a boss. These are my reasons.First, as a boss I will work for myself. I can make decisions which is the most important thing. If I work for others. I have to obey the command. I can’t refuse to follow the order even the boss is making wrong decisions. Second, when I work for myself I will always approach things enthusiastically.I will set goals and work hard to reach them.Third, I can learn much more things as a boss. If I am a employee I have towork in the company for the boss. But as a boss I will meet different people and go to kinds of places. I will hold negotiations with many people. I think be skilled in negotiation in the future.Last, I like a challenging life. Apparently be a boss is more challenging thana employee.11.

Take my case, I play Ping-pong two hours every morning, I feel energetic for the whole day.6.Be aware of mental healthAbstract with the development and changes of the modern society, the future society put forward higher requirements for the quality of people, requiring every person to have the spirit of facing the reality, not being afraid of difficulties having the pioneering spirit, with the ability to co-operation, communication and the innovative spirit. This means that the cross-century generation not only should have good intelligence quality, but also have a healthy psychology.

For example , as the Sports Meeting is drawing near , athletes work harder in order to bring forth their best performance . Everyday ,the excellent athletes gathered and take special training ,but they never compla in, because they understand the real meaning of the proverb opportunities favor the prepared mind .10.A national symbol of ChinaIn China, I think Dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation, every Chinese is “the inheritor of dragon”, the dragon bec ame a kind of culture. At the bottom of Chinese heart, dragon occupies the incommutable position. It is said that adoration of the nature and the find wish that produce good. People constructed a power animal that had ability to rain and raise with the devil, which was the dragon.In the feudal age, the dragon symbolized the royal power, it was inviolable. Today, the dragon even becomes a kind of mascot, it belongs to the common people. In this new age, dragon is given the new life. It won’t only be the symbol of China but also the Chinese spirit and it will represent the Chinese nation as well.11.A lesson learned from a dying friend pr family memberwe should always make the most of everyday because you never know what could happen tomorrow. Because , I think ,this statement can be seen a lesson from the bad event without our expectation , such as our one of good friends or loved person passed away suddenly . Why I say the words , the reason is that this sentence make me remember one thing that occurred to my friends passed away in a car accident , she was only 20 years old . We are very close , we spent our childhood growing up together . Her death was a shock to all of us .And her death taught all of us that life was very fragile. It should not be taken for granted , therefore , we should always make the most of everyday because you never know what could happen tomorrow .12. What I want to do before dieNow, I am a college student ,if I receive the bad news that I will die ,I think ,the first I want to do is to accompany my parents and enjoy the time with my parents to express my love to them . The second is that ,because I am young ,the life for me is too short to do some thing meaningful ,and to do something I haven’t ever do to realize the v alue of my life .Besides , I want to tell people to be aware that the life is very fragile, and make them think about the value of their lives and encourage them to make full use of each day to pursue their dreams .13. How I want others to remember me after I dieI want to be remembered as a good person.

新视野book3口语练习
Unit One1.How do you understand " Love without limitations"?From this passage we can know there had never been any limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish. I think the title “love without limitations”is the way we treat others. Love the people around us no matter whether they are healthy, clever or kind-hearted.In our lives, we often see some people treat the disabled people badly.This is a very shameful action. We should have a kind heart no matter what we are doing. Jimmy’s love teaches the people around him love without limitations.2.People’s attitude toward the disabledThere are a lot of disabled people in our world. Some of them are disabled when they were born as Jimmy, and others were injured in some kind of disabling accident. Almost all of us feel sorry for them, but still some have the wrong attitude towards people with disabilities.While we should come to the conclusion that we have duty to take care of those disabled people, and we cannot look down upon them. They are the same as us, and even do better than us in some aspects. After all, we should try our best to help them, to show our love for them.As Jimmy’s sister, I will help Jimmy overcome the difficulty. Even though Jimmy is disabled, he also can learn many things. And he canalso help others. I will help him learn to live by himself. In the present life, he lives with his family members, but later I will help him stand up . I will try my best to help him, help him be confident. And Jimmy has a kind heart. He also makes us happy.3.The beggars in disguise in the street.Some people say:"The most hateful people are those beggars disguising as beggars for sympathy.”And I do not believe in beggars any more or believe that they actually have other means of living. They aren't poor at all. They are not worth of our sympathy and help. They are cheats. I would not give them any money, for it would encourage them to stay a bum and continue panning for money. Meanwhile, some effective measures must be taken to eliminate the beggars in disguise.It is high time to identify the frauds and teach them a proper lesson so that the really needy can continue to get help from society. In addition, the establishment of social welfare and social security system plays an urgent role in dealing with this kind of problem.Unit Two4.What do you know about the relation between iron and health?The iron is related with our health. When our body is lack of iron, we will feel weak, tired, and out of breath. Most of the people think if we doexercise, we will be healthy. But we always ignore the element. Most of the people don’t take care of the iron. To some people, they should have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. If iron levels are low, talk with a physician to see if the deficiency should be corrected by modifying your diet or by taking supplements. In general, it’s better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich food to diet, so in our daily life, we need to eat more food including iron such as meat , chicken, and fish . We also can eat some dates, beans, and some leafy green vegetables. Don’t wait until our bodies lack iron.5.What do you know about the relation between exercise andhealth ?Discuss whatcontributes to good health?There is a direct correlation between physical exercise and overall health.If you get regular exercise and don't totally "junk out" regarding your diet, you will, in general, be healthier than someone who doesn't exercise. There is no medical practitioner or physiologist alive who will disagree with this idea. Not a single one. It is not necessary to become an athlete to improve your health, your quality of life, and your longevity.Exercise can help us keep healthy . More and more people in the modern life don’t have much time to do exercise . So people don’t have ahealthy body . Most of us students always sit for a long time . We even need take exercise . But not all of the sports fit us very well . Some people like those Aerobic exercise（有氧运动）. Some people like running , surfing and swimming . Doing exercise is good for our health . Exercise can Increase our body function and reduce fatigue .When we feel tired , we can do some exercise .Eating a balanced diet. If you don't think that you are getting enough vitamins try vitamin supplements and of course exercise around half an hour 5 times a week is good and if you eat a banana before doing exercise it helps with your metabolism so you burn off more calories!Keeping a good state of mind is also important for good health. Happy every day.6.How do you understand "mind is body, and body is mind "?Exercise benefits both body and mind. Just as exercise strength the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it can also power up the brain.Some scientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attribute to getting old may really be a penalty of neglecting to stay physical active.Mind is tightly associated with body. If we have a healthy body, we will be active in our mind ,we also can have energy to do what we want to do in our mind. If we are healthy in our mind ,we will want to exercise our body, and we can be more healthy.Unit Three7.Give your comments on the Hyde School’s principle of running school.Hyde School is different from other schools.Hyde School thinks the quality of students is very important. Not intelligence or wealth. Conscience and hard work are valued. And success is measured by growth, not academic achievement. They think that if you teach students the merit of such values as true, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement actually follows. This is the principle of Hyde School . It is very new.And it also pay attention to develop the relationship between teachers and student. They deal with the academics together. Teachers and students are friends.8.What are the main differences between the Hyde School and traditionalschools? Which do you prefer? Give your reasons.Hyde School is very different from traditional school.First, the principle is different. Hyde School operates on the principle that if you teach students the merit of such values as true, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement actually follows. Traditional school’s principle is that the score is the first.Second, Hyde School’s students are required to take performing artsand sports, and provided a community service. Traditional classroom is single and boring.Third, in Hyde School, parents take part in the program. Traditional school is opposite.Forth, it pay attention to develop the relationship between teachers and student. They deal with the academics together. In traditional high school setting, it’s teacher to the material and then to the student.I prefer Hyde School. I think it is more interesting. We can learn moreknowledge. We can improve ourselves all-sided . And with the parents’ help , we can success more easily. In Hyde School, there are less press.9.Do you think it necessary to involve parents in the education program?Yes, I do.When we meet with difficulties in learning or lives, if parents are involved, they will encourage us, let us have the confidence to face the difficulty. Our parents are our example , with their encouragement, we will actively face learning difficulties, fighting over them at an early date.And parents will set a model for their children. Children tend to do their utmost when their parents making similar efforts. Parents involved in the child's education also can supervise their children to study, there are some students in the case of only oneself can't concentrate on learning, accompanied by the parents, children will be very good study. So I thinkit necessary to involve parents in the education program.Unit Four10.Introduce some symbols of American culturewhen we come to America , we will think of some symbols of American culture immediately .First, the statue of liberty which is created by a French artist a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance which is dedicated on the island in Upper New York Bay. Second , Barbie dolls the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls .Third American Gothic an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers.11.What do you know about the American people from the symbols?independentseeking for freedomment on young people's attitude towards foreign culture.Today we are in a globalized cultural world . people especially young people are more interested in foreign culture than our traditional culture. Young people put much attention to celebrating foreign festivals which they think are very fashionable. Naturally, there are a lot of cultures in the world and some of these cultures are beneficial while others are harmful. They sometimes choose culture blindly and are not conscious of being infected by these culture. Gradually, these culture will deepen into their thoughts and behavior. In my opinion ,young people should not only actively absorb foreign culture which is advanced into the development China but also protect our traditional Chinese culture.Unit Five13.Give your comments on Mrs. Clark after reading the passage?Mrs.Clark is an ordinary women who is fear for death, so she ask the author to accompany with her. She is also an unordinary woman. She don’t want her relatives to feel the sorrow of her death.14.She has a severe ill and she is only skin and bones. But before she died,she sent all her family members home because she didn't want them to see her die. It shows that she is a considerable and selfless old lady. She loves her family. She has a big family and she is a mother of seven, and a grandmother of eighteen. But She takes good care of all her families.And she was used to do charity in many aspects.For example, she was a leader of volunteer in her community and a piano player. She teaches piano or over thirty years. She not only has graceful hands but also has a graceful heart.15.Your attitude towards death.To be or not to be ,most of people fear death. And few of us can stay calm when dealing with death. After all ,death is a normal phenomenon that we can never avoid being faced with. Although we Chinese tend toassociate it to infelicity, it’s cann’t be denied that everyone will inevitably end his life in a grave, however prominent and intelligent he is in life . Being afraid of death is justified ,however ,it is commonly acknowledged that in the face of death ,nothing but the attitude toward it matters.In many culture it is taboo to raise the topic of death in everyday discourse, but this is not the case with the Chinese people .To them life and death are a common conversational topic. Their matter of fact approach is illustrated in the sayings: Human life is nothing but a stage over which the sun and the moon function as two spotlights; We live our lives in the same way as grass passes the seasons from spring to autumn; There is no distinction between the old and the young among those on their way to the tomb.These aphorisms exemplify the belief that man is born to die, and that life is merely a journey from womb to tomb, a natural process governed by an objective law that no one can escape or flout. No matter what endeavors one might make, everyone succumbs to mortality within a certain time span. Nothing can be done other than follow the natural process from birth to death, just as grass sprouts in spring like the essence of youth and withers in autumn like the onset of old age. Apart from accepting the truth that we human being are not immortal, we should extend our deep grief to who have passed away then moveon to the bright future instead of immersing ourselves in great mourning. Moreover we should do our best to make each day counts.Unit Six16.What do you know about advance signs or warnings of an earthquake? some behaviors of animals are good signs of earthquakes. Firstly, hens refuse to enter their cages at night. Secondly, snakes come out of the ground to death. Thirdly, even normally quiet dogs bark a lot. The fourth, large schools of fish swim near the surface of the water17.What will you do to get well prepared for an earthquake?Firstly, building structures that can withstand the power of earthquakes, use relatively light roofs and strong walls Secondly, people in areas where earthquakes are common need to prepare for the possibility of earthquakes, check and reinforce their homes regularly, place heavy objects in low positions, attach cupboards and cabinets to walls and fasten doors .thirdly, people can have supplies of water and food at home and at work, and it’s important to have something that can clean water and kill bacteria.18.How can you survive inside or outside when an earthquake happens?If you are inside, you should stay at bathroom. you had better take some water with you. On the other hand, wrapped in soft things to protect youfrom harm. Don’t use elevator, try to take the stains. Stop your car in the open and stay in if you are in outside. Remember that stay away from buildings and treesUnit Seven19.Do you think one’s personality is so important as to influence theirsuccess? Give your reasons.First, one person's personality is related with the way he deal with the things. everyone has his own way ,someone is very conscientious and someone are not. Second, one's personality can influence what they think, for example, Ma Yun, who is great creative, coming up with the idea that offering extremely discounts for their consumers in the single's day. Also, this can decide whether he can succeed or not. So, personality can influence many things. And other people also evaluate one man by his personality. A good personality is very important.Sometimes it can help you get the chance. And you will succeed. So one's personality is so important as to influence their success.20.How do you see one’s academic performance at scho ol in relation totheir future achievement?I think someone's academic performance at school can influence his futureachievement in some way. and it is very important ,But not the decidingfactor .first, from the economic point of view, a person's achievement and money directly related to a great extent, which is to how much wealth he has size to measure a person's accomplishments, such as jack ma. From the perspective of the history of ma, school learning and his today's achievement is not necessarily linked, and is the key to his understanding, tact and to grasp the opportunity. Second, from the Angle of culture, a person's ideological achievements have great relationship with its knowledge reserves, and the key to it is thought in the process of learning in school period. Third, a person's achievement is combined by various factor such as courage, experience and some opportunities and so on.21.Can you list some good personal traits?1.the ability to communicate effectively2. be creative ability3.multitasking ability4.far-sighted, never view or deal with things undermy nose 5.have a specific aim and life plan 6.always arrange time properly7.have enthusiasm 8.conquer difficulties bravely 9.Be always punctual.have a strong sense of time consciousness.10.be a good listener 11. friendly and kindhearted. 11. hardworking 12.cooperativeUnit Nine22.Do you think a premarital agreement is necessary? Why or why not?I think that prenuptial agreements are bad ideas which is one of thereason leading your marriage failure. Because the family is based on trust. They must love each other if one couple decided to make a family.So they are ready to face difficulties. Even if there are some contradiction, they can deal with it together. This is love. And if one couple sign a premarital agreement before marriage, that indicate they don’t trust each other.23.A topic for debate; nothing can kill romance faster than a prenup.I firmly believed that everyone wants to have a romantic marriage.Signing prenuptial agreeme nts means that you don’t believe your spouse, not to say romantic. Prenuptial agreements are bad for love, bad for relationships, and bad for marriage. So I think nothing can kill romantic faster than prenup.24.Discuss the possible roles that a premarital agreement may play.As saying goes:”Every coin has two sides.”Prenuptial agreements also have both benefits and harm. On the one hand, it can protect the considerable accumulation of wealth of one of the couples and save a couple from a terrible marriage. But on the other hand the prenuptial agreement may lead marriage to failu re.Additional discussion:25.Should drivers be banned from using cell phones?Numerous studies have determined that talking on a cell phone while driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Therefore, cell phones must be banned to drivers.Firstly, using a phone while driving is a potential trigger to accidents and will make a lot of lives lost. Drivers who talk on a cell phone tend to respond less quickly, and are much more likely to cause a crash.Secondly, cell phone use can influence traffic. A person using cell phone while driving may lose control of their speed. It's simply inconsiderate to risk the lives of others.Third, it's also a very bad example for younger generations. Teenagers may think that using a phone and driving at the same time seems cool, so they tend to act this way when they are of age to drive. This will become a vicious cycle and more people will get hurt.It's obvious that driving while using a cell phone may put other people's life at risk, it also puts yourself in a dangerous situation. Therefore, drivers should be definitely be banned from cell phones.26.Should people be banned from smoking in public places?From my point of view people should be banned from smoking in public places. Recently, the phenomenon of smoking is more and moreuniversal\common. It has been estimated that smokers have made up half of the population in China. And the smokers are becoming younger and younger, even including some middle school students.In modern society, more and more people have realized that smoking is harmful for people's health. However, some people still enjoy smoking. Why? Because some of them think it is a kind of fashion, some think it is of great fun, some think it is a way of relaxing themselves and other think that smoking can refresh themselves.In fact, smoking is a bad habit. It can cause a lot of diseases, such as lung disease, intellectual deterioration(智力衰退)even stroke(中风).What's more, smoking in public can also cause passive smoking, which affects the non-smokers. For examples, it is harmful for the non-smokers' eyes, noses and throat, even cause lung and heart diseases. Meanwhile smoking is a waste of money. Besides, careless smokers may cause dangerous fires.Smoking is harmful and it is not only bad for smokers themselves, but also bad for non-smokers.Therefore, I hope all the smokers can give up smoking for themselves and also for the people around them.。

How well do you knowthem?Yes, I know my neighbors very well. We have been friends for manyyears and often invite each other for family dinners.Actually, I don’t know my neighbors very well. It’s difficult for people living in apartments to know their next-door neighbors nowadays. We may nod at each other or say hi when meeting in the building but never have a long conversation. I even don’t know what they do or where they work.2 What do you think makes a good / bad neighbor?A good neighbor is someone you can trust, depend on and share your happiness and grief, just like one of your family members. / A bad and inconsiderate neighbor makes much noise late at night, throws rubbish anywhere in the doorway, and never cares about what others feelWhich of these websites do you use regularly?

As to the types of websites such as photo sharing websites and travel sites, I only visit them occasionally. The websites I never use include rating sites, dating sites, and corporate websites1 What do you think are the similarities and differencesbetween an online community and a real community?I think there are similarities as well as differences between an online community and a real community. On the one hand, an online community is just similar to a real community in sharing and discussing. On the other hand, there are also many clear differences. For Example, …2 What are the benefits of online communities?Online communities provide another chance for people to communicate with each other. They do things without going out, and this saves time, money, energy and natural resources. Furthermore, through online communities, people can sometimes do what they can’t do in real communities.For example, a guy who may be shy and quiet in the eyes of his friends and families may become open and talkative in online communitie3 What are the possible dangers or problems ifpeople spend a lot of time in online communities?If people spend a lot of time in online communities, they will be greatly affected physically, mentally and emotionally. They may become inactive, slow in memorizing things, as well as addicted to the Internet and confuse the online communities with the real ones, thus having difficulties in communicating with other people around them.1 Would you like to visit this please? Why or why not?•I like traveling a lot, and I prefer going to places like Anuta. Though underdeveloped and isolated, it has not been damaged by industrialization and civilization.•I don’t want to visit such underdeveloped and uncivilized places. People there may be rude and impolite. And the food may also be raw and not attractive. Moreover, there are no modern facilities2 What can the modern world learn from places likeAnuta?Anutan society emphasizes the value of collaboration. Places like Anuta show us how human beings should coexist with nature and protect their environment, traditions and customs. These are what the modern world can learn from places like Anuta.3 What will happen to the local community of Anuta if more and more tourists visit there?I think a lot of changes will occur if more and more tourists flock there. On the one hand, the tour industry would bring local people higher income and more opportunities foremployment. On the other hand, it will cause increasing damage to their environment and bring about changes in the values and lifestylesof local community欢迎您的下载，资料仅供参考！致力为企业和个人提供合同协议，策划案计划书，学习资料等等打造全网一站式需求。

Let’s TalkStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I’m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazi ne. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you‘re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that’s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I’m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I’d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there’s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It’s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Improving One’s MemoryExamples: Creating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keysAssociations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.SAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.U2 IV.

Thank you very much for your time.B: You’re welcomeV. Let’s TalkHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students” are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that th ey are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in their education.Problems ResultsEducators just want to give standardized tests. They only focus on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas.Kids lose interest in learning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.Some intelligent kids can’t enter good colleges.“Weak” students are separated from the rest of the school.Their grades go from bad to worse.Debate SAMPLEA: Many ads about English classes for children say, “Don’t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.” I quite agree. I hear young children often learn a foreign language faster then adults.B: It’s hard to say. Kids may learn the pronunciation better than adults, but adults usually learn vocabulary and grammar faster.A: You can learn vocabulary and grammar later on; but when you grow up, you can hardly change your pronunciation.B: But if they learn the wrong pronunciation from the beginning? If they don’t learn English when they are young in the right way, it’ll affect their English studiesA: Anyway, some good or “key” schools give English tests to kids before admitting them.B: English is important, bur other subjects like Chinese and math ate equally important. If kids spend too much time on English, they have little time left for other subjects.A: Some people say that learning a foreign language can help develop children’s mental abilities such as memory, attention span and concentration, which will e of help in learning other subjects.B: But too much time for studying and too little left for playing, children’s moral and physical development will be affected.A: Well, it’s difficult for me to convince you, and vice versa. Let’s agree to disagree.U3 IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Is youth wasted on the young?Amy: I’d like to talk to you, so stop what you’re doing for a minute.Bill: What is it, Amy?

Let’s TalkIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, that’s my story.Remarried is the last thing I’d consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife.As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John’s affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you won’t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.Changes in the Speaker’s Attitude to RemarriageReasons or Detailed DescriptionFor two years after my divorce, remarriage was the last word I’d consider.1. High rate of remarriage failure.2. Remarriage would affect my son.①He drew a picture of the three of us.②My parents married and divorced eight times and I hope my son would have no such pain.③My primary focus was my son, not a wife.I ignored my son’s suggestion that I consider dating.He grew up and became conscious of my loneliness and anxiety.I reconsidered m reservation about dating and began to date MariaThe second time he brought the issue up.I was concerned about my son’s respond to her.At first his affection for her was lukewarm: his hug was mechanical; but several months later he warmed up to her.I asked Maria to marry me and she accepted.Seeing time was ripe.Our family of two became a family of three.I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Debate SAMPLEA: On the whole I don’t support remarriage. Too many remarriages have turned out to be unsuccessful and end in divorce.B: If you say many remarriages have failed, that means other remarriages have survived, or even bloomed. We should not only look at the dark of the issue.A: But there’re too many factors contribute to the failure of a second marriage. For example, as you become older, you may find it increasingly difficult to adjust to a different pattern of life with a new mate. Once there’s a conflict neither is willing to give in.B: There’re conflicts everywhere, but you should not neglect that an adult has psychological and physical needs. Without a companion, one may feel lonely and anxious.A: In a new family the husband tends to compare his new wife’s weak point with his ex-wife’s strong point. And the wife does the same.B: I wish you’d seen the film The Sound of Music. The governess Maria blended so smoothly into the Captain’s family.A: It is not easy for children to accept the new mother or father. It is simply impossible for them to forget their birth-mother’s loving care and the happy moments in their childhood.B: But how happy are the Captain’s seven children with their adopted mother Maria! If the new mother shows genuine care for the kids, they will gradually warm to her. On the other hand, many children in a single-parent family are under psychological pressure and suffer from anxiety attack. So, the single life is not the right choice.U4 IV.

新视野book3口语练习(1)
Unit One1.How do you understand " Lovewithout limitations"?From this passage we can know there had never been any limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish. I think the title “love without limitations” is the way we treat others. Love the people around us no matter whether they are healthy, clever or kind-hearted.In our lives, we often see some people treat the disabled people badly. This is a very shameful action.We should have a kind heart no matter what we are doing. Jimmy’s love teaches the people around him love without limitations.2.People’s attitude toward the disabledThere are a lot of disabled people in our world. Some of them are disabled when they were born as Jimmy, and others were injured in some kind of disabling accident. Almost all of us feel sorry for them, but still some have the wrong attitude towards people with disabilities. While we should come to the conclusion that we have duty to take care of those disabled people, and we cannot look down upon them. They are the same as us, and even do better than us in some aspects. After all, we should try our best to help them, to show our love for them.As Jimmy’s sister, I will help Jimmy overcome the difficulty. Even though Jimmy is disabled, he also can learn many things. And he can also help others. I will help him learn to live by himself. In the present life, helives with his family members, but later I will help him stand up . I will try my best to help him, help him be confident. And Jimmy has a kind heart. He also makes us happy.3.The beggars in disguise in the street.Some people say:"The most hateful people are those beggars disguising as beggars for sympathy.”And I do not believe in beggars any more or believe that they actually have other means of living. They aren't poor at all. They are not worth of our sympathy and help. They are cheats. I would not give them any money, for it would encourage them to stay a bum and continue panning for money.Meanwhile, some effective measures must be taken to eliminate the beggars in disguise. It is high time to identify the frauds and teach thema proper lesson so that the reallyneedy can continue to get help from society. In addition, the establishment of social welfare and social security system plays an urgent role in dealing with this kind of problem.Unit Two4.What do you know about the relationbetween iron and health?The iron is related with our health.When our body is lack of iron, we will feel weak, tired, and out of breath.Most of the people think if we do exercise, we will be healthy. But we always ignore the element. Most of the people don’t take care of the iron.To some people, they should have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. If iron levels are low, talkwith a physician to see if thedeficiency should be corrected bymodifying your diet or by takingsupplements. In general, it’s better toundo the problem by adding moreiron-rich food to diet, so in our dailylife, we need to eat more foodincluding iron such as meat , chicken,and fish . We also can eat some dates,beans, and some leafy greenvegetables. Don’t wait until ourbodies lack iron.5.What do you know about the relationbetween exercise and health ?Discusswhatcontributes to good health?There is a direct correlation betweenphysical exercise and overall health.If you get regular exercise and don'ttotally "junk out" regarding your diet, you will, in general, be healthier thansomeone who doesn't exercise. Thereis no medical practitioner orphysiologist alive who will disagreewith this idea. Not a single one. It isnot necessary to become an athlete toimprove your health, your quality oflife, and your longevity.Exercise can help us keep healthy .More and more people in the modernlife don’t have much time to doexercise . So people don’t have ahealthy body . Most of us studentsalways sit for a long time . We evenneed take exercise . But not all of thesports fit us very well . Some peoplelike those Aerobic exercise（有氧运动）.Some people like running , surfingand swimming . Doing exercise isgood for our health . Exercise canIncrease our body function andreduce fatigue .When we feel tired ,we can do some exercise .Eating a balanced diet. If you don'tthink that you are getting enoughvitamins try vitamin supplements andof course exercise around half anhour 5 times a week is good and if youeat a banana before doing exercise ithelps with your metabolism so youburn off more calories!Keeping a good state of mind is alsoimportant for good health. Happyevery day.6.How do you understand "mind isbody, and body is mind "?Exercise benefits both body and mind.Just as exercise strength the heartand lungs, bones and muscles, it canalso power up the brain. Somescientists speculate the reduction inmental function often attribute togetting old may really be a penalty ofneglecting to stay physical active.Mind is tightly associated with body. If wehave a healthy body, we will be active inour mind ,we also can have energy to dowhat we want to do in our mind. If we arehealthy in our mind ,we will want toexercise our body, and we can be morehealthy.Unit Three7.Give your comments on the HydeSchool’s principle of running school.Hyde School is different from otherschools.Hyde School thinks the quality ofstudents is very important. Notintelligence or wealth. Conscience andhard work are valued. And success ismeasured by growth, not academicachievement. They think that if youteach students the merit of suchvalues as true, courage, integrity,leadership, curiosity and concern,then academic achievement actuallyfollows. This is the principle of Hyde School . It is very new.And it also pay attention to develop the relationship between teachers and student. They deal with the academics together. Teachers and students are friends.8.What are the main differencesbetween the Hyde School and traditional schools? Which do you prefer? Give your reasons.Hyde School is very different from traditional school.First, the principle is different. Hyde School operates on the principle that if you teach students the merit of such values as true, courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity and concern, then academic achievement actually follows. Traditional school’s principle is that the score is the first.Second, Hyde School’s students are required to take performing arts and sports, and provided a community service. Traditional classroom is single and boring.Third, in Hyde School, parents take part in the program. Traditional school is opposite.Forth, it pay attention to develop the relationship between teachers and student. They deal with the academics together. In traditional high school setting, it’s teacher to the material and then to the student.I prefer Hyde School. I think it ismore interesting. We can learn more knowledge. We can improve ourselves all-sided . And with the parents’ help , we can success more easily. In Hyde School, there are less press.9.Do you think it necessary to involveparents in the education program?Yes, I do.When we meet with difficulties in learning or lives, if parents are involved, they will encourage us, let us have the confidence to face the difficulty. Our parents are our example , with their encouragement, we will actively face learning difficulties, fighting over them at an early date. And parents will set a model for their children. Children tend to do their utmost when their parents making similar efforts.Parents involved in the child's education also can supervise their children to study, there are some students in the case of only oneself can't concentrate on learning, accompanied by the parents, children will be very good study. So I think it necessary to involve parents in the education program.Unit Four10.Introduce some symbols of Americanculturewhen we come to America , we will think of some symbols of American culture immediately .First, the statue of liberty which is created by a French artist a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance which is dedicated on the island in Upper New York Bay. Second , Barbie dolls the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls .Third American Gothic an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers. 11.What do you know about theAmerican people from the symbols?independentseeking for freedomment on young people'sattitude towards foreign culture.Today we are in a globalized cultural world . people especially young people are more interested in foreign culture than our traditional culture.Young people put much attention to celebrating foreign festivals which they think are very fashionable.Naturally, there are a lot of cultures in the world and some of these cultures are beneficial while others are harmful. They sometimes choose culture blindly and are not conscious of being infected by these culture. Gradually, these culture will deepen into their thoughts and behavior. In my opinion , young people should not only actively absorb foreign culture which is advanced into the development China but also protect our traditional Chinese culture.Unit Five13.Give your comments on Mrs. Clarkafter reading the passage?Mrs.Clark is an ordinary women who is fear for death, so she ask the author to accompany with her. She is also an unordinary woman. She don’t want her relatives to feel the sorrow of her death.14.She has a severe ill and she is onlyskin and bones. But before she died, she sent all her family members home because she didn't want them to see her die. It shows that she is a considerable and selfless old lady. She loves her family. She has a big family and she is a mother of seven, and a grandmother of eighteen. But Shetakes good care of all her families.And she was used to do charity in many aspects.For example, she was a leader of volunteer in her community and a piano player. She teaches piano or over thirty years. She not only has graceful hands but also has a graceful heart.15.16.Your attitude towards death.To be or not to be ,most of people fear death. And few of us can stay calm when dealing with death. After all ,death is a normal phenomenon that we can never avoid being faced with. Although we Chinese tend to associate it to infelicity, it’s cann’t be denied that everyone will inevitably end his life in a grave, however prominent and intelligent he is in life .Being afraid of death is justified ,however ,it is commonly acknowledged that in the face of death ,nothing but the attitude toward it matters.In many culture it is taboo to raise the topic of death in everyday discourse, but this is not the case with the Chinese people .To them life and death are a common conversational topic. Their matter of fact approach is illustrated in the sayings: Human life is nothing but a stage over which the sun and the moon function as two spotlights; We live our lives in the same way as grass passes the seasons from spring to autumn; There is no distinction between the old and the young among those on their way to the tomb.These aphorisms exemplify the belief that man is born to die, and that life is merely a journey from womb to tomb, a natural process governed byan objective law that no one can escape or flout. No matter what endeavors one might make, everyone succumbs to mortality within a certain time span. Nothing can be done other than follow the natural process from birth to death, just as grass sprouts in spring like the essence of youth and withers in autumn like the onset of old age.Apart from accepting the truth that we human being are not immortal, we should extend our deep grief to who have passed away then move on to the bright future instead of immersing ourselves in great mourning.Moreover we should do our best to make each day counts.Unit Six17.What do you know about advancesigns or warnings of an earthquake? some behaviors of animals are good signs of earthquakes. Firstly, hens refuse to enter their cages at night. Secondly, snakes come out of the ground to death. Thirdly, even normally quiet dogs bark a lot. The fourth, large schools of fish swim near the surface of the water18.What will you do to get well preparedfor an earthquake?Firstly, building structures that can withstand the power of earthquakes, use relatively light roofs and strong walls Secondly, people in areas where earthquakes are common need to prepare for the possibility of earthquakes, check and reinforce their homes regularly, place heavy objects in low positions, attach cupboards and cabinets to walls and fasten doors .thirdly, people can have supplies of water and food at home and at work, and it’s important to have something that can clean water and kill bacteria.19.How can you survive inside or outsidewhen an earthquake happens?If you are inside, you should stay atbathroom. you had better take somewater with you. On the other hand,wrapped in soft things to protect youfrom harm. Don’t use elevator, try totake the stains. Stop your car in the openand stay in if you are in outside.Remember that stay away frombuildings and treesUnit Seven20.Do you think one’s personality is soimportant as to influence theirsuccess? Give your reasons.First, one person's personality isrelated with the way he deal with thethings. everyone has his ownway ,someone is very conscientiousand someone are not. Second, one'spersonality can influence what theythink, for example, Ma Yun, who isgreat creative, coming up with theidea that offering extremely discountsfor their consumers in the single's day.Also, this can decide whether he cansucceed or not. So, personality caninfluence many things. And otherpeople also evaluate one man by hispersonality. A good personality is veryimportant. Sometimes it can help youget the chance. And you will succeed.So one's personality is so importantas to influence their success.21.How do you see one’s academicperformance at school in relation totheir future achievement?I think someone's academicperformance at school can influence hisfuture achievement in some way. and itis very important ,But not the decidingfactor .first, from the economic point ofview, a person's achievement andmoney directly related to a great extent,which is to how much wealth he hassize to measure a person'saccomplishments, such as jack ma.From the perspective of the history ofma, school learning and his today'sachievement is not necessarily linked,and is the key to his understanding, tactand to grasp the opportunity. Second,from the Angle of culture, a person'sideological achievements have greatrelationship with its knowledge reserves, and the key to it is thought in theprocess of learning in school period.Third, a person's achievement iscombined by various factor such ascourage, experience and someopportunities and so on.22.Can you list some good personaltraits?1.the ability to communicateeffectively 2. be creative ability3.multitasking ability4.far-sighted,never view or deal with things undermy nose 5.have a specific aim and lifeplan 6.always arrange time properly7.have enthusiasm 8.conquerdifficulties bravely 9.Be alwayspunctual. have a strong sense of timeconsciousness.10.be a good listener 11. friendly andkindhearted. 11. hardworking 12.cooperativeUnit Nine23.Do you think a premarital agreementis necessary? Why or why not?I think that prenuptial agreementsare bad ideas which is one of thereason leading your marriage failure.Because the family is based on trust.They must love each other if onecouple decided to make a family. Sothey are ready to face difficulties.Even if there are some contradiction,they can deal with it together. This islove. And if one couple sign apremarital agreement beforemarriage, that indicate they don’ttrust each other.24.A topic for debate; nothing can killromance faster than a prenup.I firmly believed that everyone wantsto have a romantic marriage. Signingprenuptial agreements means thatyou don’t believe your spouse, not tosay romantic. Prenuptial agreementsare bad for love, bad for relationships, and bad for marriage. So I thinknothing can kill romantic faster thanprenup.25.Discuss the possible roles that apremarital agreement may play.As saying goes:”Every coin has twosides.”Prenuptial agreements alsohave both benefits and harm. On theone hand, it can protect theconsiderable accumulation of wealthof one of the couples and save acouple from a terrible marriage. Buton the other hand the prenuptialagreement may lead marriage tofailu re.Additional discussion:26.Should drivers be banned from usingcell phones?Numerous studies have determinedthat talking on a cell phone whiledriving is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Therefore, cell phones must be banned to drivers.Firstly, using a phone while driving is a potential trigger to accidents and will make a lot of lives lost. Drivers who talk on a cell phone tend to respond less quickly, and are much more likely to cause a crash. Secondly, cell phone use can influence traffic. A person using cell phone while driving may lose control of their speed. It's simply inconsiderate to risk the lives of others.Third, it's also a very bad example for younger generations. Teenagers may think that using a phone and driving at the same time seems cool, so they tend to act this way when they are of age to drive. This will become a vicious cycle and more people will get hurt.It's obvious that driving while using a cell phone may put other people's life at risk, it also puts yourself in a dangerous situation. Therefore, drivers should be definitely be banned from cell phones.27.Should people be banned from smoking in public places?From my point of view people should be banned from smoking in public places. Recently, the phenomenon of smoking is more and more universal\common. It has been estimated that smokers have made up half of the population in China. And the smokers are becoming younger and younger, even including some middle school students.In modern society, more and more people have realized that smoking is harmful for people's health. However, some people still enjoy smoking. Why? Because some of them think it is a kind of fashion, some think it is of great fun, some think it is a way of relaxing themselves and other think that smoking can refresh themselves. In fact, smoking is a bad habit. It can cause a lot of diseases, such as lung disease, intellectual deterioration(智力衰退)even stroke(中风).What's more, smoking in public can also cause passive smoking, which affects the non-smokers. For examples, it is harmful for the non-smokers' eyes, noses and throat, even cause lung and heart diseases. Meanwhile smoking is a waste of money. Besides, careless smokers may cause dangerous fires. Smoking is harmful and it is not only bad for smokers themselves, but also bad for non-smokers.Therefore, I hope all the smokers can give up smoking for themselves and also for the people around them.。
