Many children play a game called "trick or treat". They knock on their neighbours' doors and shout "trick or treat". Their neighbours usually give them some candy as a "treat". If the children do not get any candy, they can play a trick on their neighbours. Some people also make lanterns out of big orange pumpkins. They cut out the eyes, the nose and the sharp teeth. They put candles in them so the light shines through the eyes, the nose and the teeth.2（17年25）My ideal school starts at 8 . and finishes at 3 . I love sports and computers, so we have PE and computer lessons every day. The classes are quite small. There are about 20 students in each class.There is a big dining hall. There we can eat and chat with our friends. There is a park on one side of our school and a shopping mall on the other. We have a big library. We also have a tennis court and a swimming pool.There are lots of clubs and after-school activities. Every month, we go on a school trip to a museum or a theatre.3（17年28）My name is Lucy. I am in Year 9 at Woodland School near London. It is a mixed school. Boys and girls have lessons together. My favourite subject is French. Learning foreign languages is fun.Our school has a Reading Week every year. During the week, we can borrow more books from the school library. We can also bring in books and magazines from home. I often read more books than my classmates. Near the end of the week, we discuss the books with our classmates in class. Time seems to go faster when we are reading interesting books.4（17第4篇）Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the world's most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds.Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for wildlife. Now the Chinese government has made laws to protect Zhalong.Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.5（new）Hi, my name is Joanna. I live with my family in a small town. My parents are very strict. They disagree on everything I do. For example, when I talk on the phone for more than five minutes, they always tell me to stop. I like talking on the phone because I am not allowed to go out with friends. It is my only chance to communicate with them. I talk on thephone in my spare time. The caller's number is shown on the phone, so my parents can always tell who is calling me. Why do they still not let me talk on the phone?6（17年18）I love reading. I spend over seven hours a week reading different types of books. On weekdays, I usually read for about half an hour before going to bed. I read a lot at the weekend. I am interested in history books, but I like novels best. The four great classical Chinese novels are my favourite.I get most of my books from Sunshine Library — it is just opposite my home. My friends give me lots of advice on books. We often meet together and discuss what to read.Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends. They also open up a whole new world to me.7（17年7）Today, we are going to make potato stamps. Potato stamps are very easy to make. First, you should get a large potato. Don't use a small one, as it'll be too difficult to hold. Next, wash it. You want to be sure to get it really clean. Now cut it in half with a knife. Be careful! I don't want anyone to get hurt. Next, you should draw a design on the end of the potato with a pen. Then carefully cut the design out with the tip of your knife. When you're done, pour some paint onto the plate. Now put the cut end of your potato into the paint. Finally, put the potato onto a piece of paper. Wasn't that fun?8（17年8）We are going to hold a talk on good table manners this afternoon.The purpose is to teach students rules for eating.There will be a lot of advice on table manners. Above all, when you are sitting at the table, you should not start eating until everyone is ready, and it is impolite to make too much noise while you are eating or drinking. You should not eat with your mouth open or talk with food in your mouth. Before you leave the table, wait for everyone to finish.These rules are important because we should make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.9（17年9）New York, London, Paris and many other cities are exciting placesto live. There are lots of interesting things to see and do.But there are serious problems in big cities too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive high-quality medical care. But sometimes these people can't find work or good places to live. Also it is hard to keep big cities safe and clean.So, before people move to a big city, they should think about these problems they might have to deal with there.10（17年1）Everybody thinks I have a real gift for painting. However, I once did not like art lessons because I could not draw very well. One day, I was playing with some paint as usual in Ms Lou's art lesson. I mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very interesting picture! "That's a very good picture, Sandy." Ms Luo encouraged me tokeep trying. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints.11（17年21）Dear Sandy,I have just listened to a programme on the radio. It was about a new CD-ROM pack called "Daily English". It is a new course from Australia. The pack includes a book and five CD-ROMs. It is very good for tourists and students. I'm sure we can learn a lot from it. We can learn about how to use the telephone and how to ask and answer questions. We can also learn to talk about the weather and the time. The course covers many topics, such as travel and hotels, food and drink, and shopping and money.I am going to order a pack online. Do you want me to order one for you too?Regards,Millie12（17年12）Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home.We can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room.Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled.Follow these small steps, and you can make a big difference to the Earth!13（17年13）Dear Sir,I would like to recommend Daniel for this year's Young Star Award.Daniel is a clever boy. He learns things quickly. He always thinks carefully when he works. He plans everything well.Daniel is really kind. Last week, a five-year-old boy lost his way and was crying in the street. Daniel saw him and took him to the police station. He stayed with the boy and played with him for two hours before the boy's parents came.All the members at the Helping Hands Club think that Daniel should get the award. We look forward to hearing from you soon.Yours,Sandy14（17年14）Hello, everyone!I've got some great news for you today. Our school basketball team is in the final round of the basketball competition! The match will be on Sunday, the 7th of November, at South Hill School. Now, listen carefully to the plan for the day.At 9 ., we'll meet at the school gate. We'll arrive at South Hill School at 10 . The match will start at 10:30 . After the match finishes, there will be the presentation of the cup and medals.

All the big pop stars will attend. Before the awards start, we will interview some of the most famous stars. Two thousand fans have voted online for their favourite songs, singers and music videos. The results will be announced during the programme and the host will ask questions for the viewers to answer. As you are watching the awards, write down your answers and send text messages to 1396. If you are lucky enough, you could win two free concert tickets.16（new）Many young people are now giving up their spare time to become volunteers. It is a very meaningful activity because volunteering helps and gives support to different groups in society.Young people can choose to volunteer in many different charities and projects. For example, I do voluntary work for two charities: the first one gives help and support to homeless people, and the second one takes care of the disabled people.Another choice is to take part in special projects or events to raise money for charity. Some people take part in charity walks, or they donate money to charities. You can even organize one of these events yourself.17（17年17）We need to do something for giant pandas. They are now in danger. For example, giant pandas do not have many babies during their lives, and it's easy for baby pandas to get sick and die when they are very young. Also, giant pandas mainly live on a special kind of bamboo, so the bamboo forests are very important to them. However, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, giant pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. There are now only about 1,600 pandas in the wild. We should take action to protect them right away.18（17年6）Dear Millie,Thank you very much for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice.You said you often stay up late to finish all your homework. Plan your day carefully. Make a list of all the homework you have. Then work out how much time you need to finish it all. This will give you an idea of how much spare time you have.You also said that you do not have enough time for your hobbies. What about choosing your hobby according to the time you have?I hope you think my advice is worth taking.Best wishes,Helen19（17年19）I have to choose a new colour for my bedroom. It's a very importantdecision, because colour can change a person's mood. I like orange, because it's a happy, warm colour. It can make people feel comfortable. My best friend Jack doesn't agree though. He thinks green is better. Jack says that green represents nature and that it can make you feel energetic. I remind Jack that green is also the colour of envy. My mother recommends blue. She thinks blue is a calm and peaceful colour, so it will make me less stressed and help me relax after school. Perhaps she is right.20（17年20）All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer tea with nothing in it.Tea is also popular in Japan. People have tea every day. But the way they drink it is different from that in China.In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea.21（17年11）Dinosaurs lived on the Earth a long time ago. We now know that the first dinosaurs appeared about 230 million years ago.There were hundreds of different kinds of dinosaurs, but they didn't live at the same time. Some dinosaurs were really small. One of the smallest dinosaurs was about one metre long and weighed about three kilograms. Others were really big. Some very large ones weighed over 100,000 kilograms and some were about 40 metres long.Some dinosaurs ate plants and others ate meat, but they didn't eat grass. All dinosaurs had four legs and lived on land.22（new）I went to Hainan with my parents in February. Hainan lies in the south of China.Haikou is the capital city of Hainan Province. There are many famous attractions in it. We went to the Holiday Beach, a fantastic place. It was a sunny day, so we took a walk along the beach. We also went to People's Park. We hired a bicycle and rode around the park. It was much fun! Then we went to Sanya. We went to see some underground caves. I took many photos of them.There is so much to see in Hainan. I want to visit it again in the future.23（17年23）My neighbours are kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have different skills and often help us with all kinds of problems.Usually there is a "helping hands" meeting at the weekend. People go there when they need help with their problems. Computer engineers are popular. They help people check their computers. You can also find someone to fix things like broken bicycles. Students can get help with their homework. There are some college students among the volunteers, and they are always ready to help.We are lucky to live in a neighbourhood like that. People here are like a big family.24（17年24）Kites have a long history in China. The Chinese began to make kites over 2,000 years ago. The first kite in history was made out of wood by Mozi. His student Lu Ban used bamboo to make kites. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Lun found a new way to make paper, and then people began to use paper to make kites. In the 13th century, an Italian man called Marco Polo visited China. He told people in the West all about kites. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, kite flying became a very popular outdoor activity. People liked to fly kites on sunny, windy days in spring.25（17年2）Winter is my favourite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin.The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen.During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful.My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights. We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny.Winter is great!26（17年26，少了have，played去掉了ed）Yao Ming was born in Shanghai in 1980. He got his first basketball when he was only four years old, but he did not become serious about basketball until he was 12. Yao joined the Houston Rockets in 2022 andbecame the best Chinese player to ever play in the NBA.When Yao Ming lived in the USA, he returned to China whenever he was needed. He took part in the Olympics in 2022 and in 2022 as one of the Chinese athletes. Since he ended his basketball career, Yao has done a lot of charity work, especially for poor Chinese teenagers.27（17年27）UNICEF was set up in 1946 to help children after the war in Europe. Now, UNICEF helps children all over the world. It works in 158 countries. It helps governments and families make the world a better place for children.UNICEF gets its money from donations. It raises money by selling Christmas cards and organizing other fund-raising activities. People can help UNICEF by doing voluntary work.UNICEF believes that all children should have clean water and food so that they can be healthy. It also believes that they should go to school instead of working to support their families.28（17年3）My farther has worked in a local factory for years. You will not find anything unusual about him until you learn more.My father has always been kind and helpful. He has donated blood many times since 1990. The blood he has donated is enough to save over 70 lives. He has also donated blood cells to people with blood cancer. To my surprise, he has decided to donate his body for medical research after his death.When I was a little girl, I could not understand why my fatheralways seemed to be kinder to others than to his own family. Now I realize that he has a heart full of love.29（17年29）Dear classmates,Have you ever had any problems? Are you wondering who you can ask for advice? If so, you can write to Mr Sigmund Friend.You may wonder who he is. He is a youth worker. Do you know what a youth worker does? Mr Friend says that youth workers help young people solve their problems. They are doing a great job. Some of my friends wrote to Mr Friend and asked how they could deal with their problems. Soon they got his replies. Now they know what they should do.Best wishes,Millie30（17年30）In the Chinese lunar calendar, there are 12 animal signs. Each of them represents a lunar year.It is said that the animals held an exciting race to decide their order. After the race began, the strong, hard-working Ox took the lead. Suddenly, the clever Rat jumped on the Ox's back and won the race! The Ox came second, the Tiger third, and so it went. The Pig took his time and came last.The cycle of animal years repeats every 12 years. Some people believe that people born in the same animal year may share similar characteristics. For example, they believe people born in the Year of theDragon are powerful and energetic.文档内容到此结束，欢迎大家下载、修改、丰富并分享给更多有需要的人。
英语口语朗读范文
英语口语朗读范文Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed teachers, and fellow students,Today, I am thrilled to stand before you to share my thoughts on a topic that is close to my heart: the art of spoken English. As we navigate through the globalized world, the importance of effective communication cannot be overstated. English, being a lingua franca, plays a pivotal role in bridging cultural and linguistic barriers.The beauty of spoken English lies in its fluidity and expressiveness. It is not just about pronouncing words correctly; it is about conveying emotions, ideas, and stories in a way that resonates with the listener. To master spoken English, one must practice the rhythm, intonation, and stress patterns that give the language its unique melody.When we speak, we should aim to be clear and concise. However, it is equally important to be engaging and dynamic. This means varying our pitch, using appropriate body language, and maintaining eye contact to establish a connection withour audience. A good speaker is not only heard but also felt.Moreover, the ability to listen actively is just ascrucial as speaking. It allows us to understand different accents, grasp the nuances of the conversation, and respond thoughtfully. This two-way communication fosters a deeperunderstanding and respect among people from diverse backgrounds.In conclusion, spoken English is a powerful tool that can open doors to new opportunities and enrich our lives. By honing our skills in this language, we can contribute to a more harmonious and inclusive global community. Let us embrace the challenge and enjoy the journey of becomingfluent speakers of English.Thank you.。

整理了简单的英语朗诵短⽂，欢迎阅读!【篇⼀】简单的英语朗诵短⽂ I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share a fridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher. One of my coworkers complained the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days, and she was stunned I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my taste buds, but the water really tasted fine. 最近我找了份新⼯作，是在⼀间⼩办公室⾥，我们四个⼈共⽤⼀个冰箱。
冰箱⾥有⼀个Brita牌滤⽔壶，有⼀个同事抱怨说⽔喝起来感觉很“脏”，她连续抱怨了⼏天，还很震惊我喝这样的⽔竟然没事。
我开始怀疑⾃⼰的味蕾出问题了，但我真觉着⽔喝着还不错。
Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup. She simply forgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it. She cleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem. 最后，她发现问题出在了她的杯⼦上，她只是忘了刷杯⼦，过⼀段时间就影响⾥⾯⽔的味道了。

This helps the driver make a quick escape.If there is a crash, racing cars can catch fire. Drivers have to wear fireproof underwear and caps. But these clothes protect them for only about 12 seconds. So they must get out of the car quickly if there is a fire.Drivers wear a crash helmet that is light and very tough. It will protect the driver even if a stone hits it at more than 480 kilometres per hour!15、Views on the newsSome people say Chihuahuas like being carried around in bags and dressed up like kids.

They are not harming anyone.Nadia-LopezChihuahuas are NOT like other dogsNoI think Chihuahuas are like other dogs. They have hair to keep them warm and legs to run. They like to explore places and sniff with their noses just like other dogs do. They lift their leg to go to the toilet. This must be hard for them if they are in a dress.Chihuahuas are dogs and in my opinion, that is how they should be treated.-Pedro Lorca16.race to the finishThe Days Before the RaceWhy the days before the race are importantThe days before the race are very important because this is when the drivers practise on the track. They test their cars to see if everything works well.The Day of the raceHow drivers get ready. The teams get their cars ready for the race early in the morning.

These help stop the cars from skidding.The drivers test their cars on the track. They practise the tight turns and bends.17.Different villagesVillage housesMost of the people here live in houses made with mud bricks and straw roofs.

Yes, No or maybe SoRobot TeachersRobots could soon be teaching kids instead of teachers. In my opinion, robots would be good teachers. They are very patient. They won't mind saying things over and over again. Robots would be fair to all kids. I think having robot teachers would be very helpful to kids learning. Robots could be programmed to know a lot more than a teacher can ever know.Winnie LeeRobot TeachersI don't think having robot teachers is a good idea at all. Robots aren't real. They can't care about or comfort anyone. Robots are boring. They can't read stories like a teacher can. They can't laugh with kids or tell jokes and they are not Interested in what kids are doing and how they are feeling.I think having robot teachers is the worst idea of all.Raj Chet19. Bully BugsBugs are very small, but they can be big bullies.Some sting and bite their prey. Some jump on their prey or fight with sharp claws or jaws. Sometimes bugs even get into big groups to fight.This jumping spider goes hunting like a cat. It has very big eyes. It can see a fly on a leaf a long way away.It creeps up to the fly. Then it jumps! It grabs the fly with its legs. Now it can eat it.These bugs all look like bullies. But are they bad?They all need to find food to live. They have learnt to work in a group. They have learnt to use their stings and bites and their claws and jaws to catch their prey.20. Uncle Al goes to soccerI like Uncle Al. He makes me laugh.

He's standing on his head.”The kids on the Cats' team couldn't stop laughing at Uncle Al. They were laughing so hard, they couldn't kick the ball.“Don't look at him,” I said to my team. “Just look at the ball.”After the game the coach said, "The Cats didn't keep their eyes on the ball.”Well, it is hard to keep your eyes on the ball if you haven't seen Uncle Al before! He's a very funny man, my Uncle Al.21. Views on the newsSky cars are the answer to traffic problemsYesThe traffic in cities is a big problem.

All those cars zooming around up there would be very noisy. Birds and butterflies would fly away because the air is their space. When people look up at the sky they would just see the cars!In my opinion, sky cars in the air space are not a sensible idea at all.De John Peck22、Word PicturesWhere am I?I am watching the storm. Clouds cover the sky like a big black blanket.The wind howls like a lone wolf, and tugs at the trees. Then the clouds burst and down comes the rain.There is a bright flash in the sky and lightning stretches out its long white fingers.I wait for the rumble, rumble, rumble of the thunder.Where am I?I am in the rain forest. It is hot and damp. I walk through the trees that stretch up and up making a green roof over my head.Their roots are like long, thin snakes twisted together.My boots sink into the thick piles of rotting leaves.A sliver of sunlight peeps through the trees making spots like freckles on the ground.。

The Love of BeautyThe love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained.Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it.All persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls for our study and admiration. The power to appreciate beauty not merely increases our sources of happiness---it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness. （305words）What I Have Lived forThree passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search of knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what-at last-I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway the flux. A little of this, but most of much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me. (318words)The Faculty of DelightAmong the mind’s powers is one that comes of itself to many children and artists. It need not be lost, to the end of his days, by anyone who has ever had it. This is the power of taking delight in a thing, or rather in anything, everything, not as a means to some other end, but just because it is what it is, as the lover dotes on whatever may be the traits of the beloved object. A child in the full health of his mind will put his hand flat on the summer turf, feel it, and give a little shiver or private gleeat the elastic firmness of the globe. He is not thinking how well it will do for some game or to feed mistress’s money. The child’s is sheer affection, the true ecstatic sense of the thing’s inherent characteristics. No matter what the things may be, no thrilling unique look and feel of its own, like a face; the iron astringently cool under its paint, the painted wood familiarly warmer, the clod crumbling enchantingly down in the hands, with its little dry smell of the sun and of hot nettles; each common thing a personality marked by delicious differences.The joy of an Adam new to the garden and just looking round is brought by the normal child to the things that he does as well as those that mankind can give him a mystical exaltation: to come home with his legs, as the French say, re-entering his body from the fatigue of helping the gardener to weed beds sends him to sleep in the glow of a beatitude that is an end in itself…The right education, if we could find it, would work up this creative faculty of delight into all its branching possibilities of knowledge, wisdom, and nobility. Of all three it is the beginning, condition, or raw material. (317 words)。
英语口语专项训练（朗读短文）
英语口语专项训练一、朗读短文（1）Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, Friends are God's way of taking care of us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it? First, you should choose a friend, What makes a good friend? It is not money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always go smoothly. Even the best of friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When you are alone, with your friend, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter. There are three steps to being friends again Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong; and explain why you acted as you did. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.（2）No air means death. Although we can't see it, there is air around us. Air is everywhere and it gives life to every living thing. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health. In the city, there are a great many people and there are too many cars on the road. The exhaust fumes the cars give out are full of poison. Every day we breathe them in and out. This makes us feel sick. Besides cars, there are many factories, too. From the chimneys of these factories we get smoke, usually in a black or grey color. This kind of smoke, when it is mixed with air, is dangerous to our health. So in order to keep ourselves healthy we have to go out to the countryside to breathe fresher air. Or we can go up hills to get fresher air.（3）All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They may drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer the tea with nothing else in it. Tea is also important in Japan. It is very popular there. People drink tea every day. But they have it in a way different from that in China. In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea. Making tea with tea bags is faster and easier than making it with leaves in teapots.（4）We have a radio station in our school. It is great because it is run by the students for the school. It started two years ago. And I have been a student member of the radio station for two years. Every morning we Jell the students about the weather and latest news, pits some special messages that the teachers want us to mention. During exam time we have a special program that tells students the things they should or shouldn't do in preparation. At the end of the school year, many students who are going to graduate use our station to send messages to their close friends and teachers. When parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers in the evening, we always play songs sung by the students, and we also report special events to the parents, such as outings and school plays.（5）New York, London, Paris and some other cities are exciting places to live. There are many interesting things to see and to do. You can go to different kinds of museums, plays and films. You can also buy things from all over the world. But there are serious problems in big cities, too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people in some places in big cities. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive good medical care. But sometimes these people can't find work or good places to live. Also it is hard to keep big cities safe and clean. Some people enjoy living in big cities, others do not. Before people move to a big city, they should think about the problems they might encounter there.。

外国语学校面试之朗读短文
外国语学校面试之朗读短文Good morning, everyone. My name is [姓名], and I’m here to read a short passage for you. The passage is called “The Power of Music.”Music has always had a profound effect on humans, and it’s no wonder why. From the rhythmic beat of a drum to the melodic hum of a violin, music has the power to uplift, inspire, and move us in ways that words alone cannot. It’s a language that knows no boundaries, that transcends cultural differences, and that brings people of all races, ages, and backgrounds together in harmony.Research has shown that listening to music has a number of positive effects on our overall well-being. For example, listening to music has been shown to lower our cortisol levels, which can help reduce stress and anxiety. It can also boost our immune system, improve our memory, and increase our cognitive abilities.But perhaps the most powerful aspect of music is its ability to evoke emotions. Whether it’s the soaring crescendos of a symphony or the plaintive strains of a solo vocalist, music can evoke feelings of joy, love, sadness, and even anger. It can help us express emotions that we may not be able to articulate otherwise, and it can provide us with a sense of comfort and solace during difficult times.In today’s fast-paced world, music can provide a much-needed respite from the stress and chaos of daily life. Whether we’re listening to our favorite playlists on our morning commute or attending a live concert with friends, music has the power totransport us to another realm and remind us of the beauty and wonder of life.Thank you for listening.。
二外英语一 口语考试 朗读材料
1.When I was young, I thought that reading was like a drug which I was allowed totake only a teaspoon at a time, but which, nevertheless, had the effect of carrying me away to an enchanted world. As time went by and I took that drug again and again, I became addicted to it. Books became an intrinsic part of my life. They became my friends, my guides, my lovers. My most faithful lovers. I didn‟t knowI would fall in love with books when I was young and started to read. I don‟t evenrecall when I started to read and how. I just remember that my mother didn‟t like me to read. In spite of this, every time I had an opportunity I would sneak somewhere with a book and read one page, two pages, three, if I were lucky enough, always feeling my heart beating fast, always hoping that my mother wouldn‟t find me. For her, books were nothing. For me, they were everything.2.According to the Small Business Administration, the number of family-ownedcompanies — many of which are run by mothers and daughters — is on the rise.In 1988, of the nearly 19 million companies in the United States, more than 13 million were sole proprietorships. Most of those were described as family-owned businesses with two or more related individuals who were working together.While there are no hard numbers of how many mother-daughter companies exist, experts agree that more mothers and daughters are going into business together.“About 90 percent of American businesses are family-owned or -controlled,” saysa family business consultant. “People still prefer, whenever possible, to work withpeople they know.”3.Walter Anderson joined the ranks of the HA Society the same year I did. I felt aspecial kinship to him as I heard his story — for reasons that will be obvious as I relate it here. Walter grew up in a four-room railroad flat on the wrong side of the tracks in New York, in an atmosphere made volatile and violent by an illiterate, abusive, alcoholic father. “I lived with fear every day, nearly every minute of my childhood,” Walter remembers.“Often my father would beat me for things I might do, not for things I had done. I felt safer on the street corner than in my own home.”Like me, my friend Walter credits his mother and reading as key influences in his life. His mom always tried to shield him from his father‟s abuse.“I never doubted my mother‟s love,” Walter says. “She encouraged me to read despite the fact that my father would beat me if he found me reading. Years later, after my father‟s death, I asked her why she would do so when she k new my father would beat me, and she said, …I believed that if you could learn to read, somehow you would find your way out. And you did.‟”4.They‟re known as “the boys”. They are Ben and Jerry, definitely America‟s mostfamous providers of ice cream and certainly two of America‟s most colorful entrepreneurs. They‟ve been friends since seventh grade and business partners since 1978, when they opened their first scoop shop, using techniques gathered from a $5 correspondence course on how to make ice cream. Their firm, Ben & Jerry‟s Homemade, sold more than $76 million worth of super premium ice cream in 1990 and employs around 300 people, give or take a few, depending on the season. Ben and Jerry have strong personalities and strong opinions. They believe that work should be fun, or else it isn‟t worth doing. They also believe in helping the unfortunate, protecting the environment, and treating people fairly.They want their company to be a happy, humanitarian place where everybody feels good about coming to work and producing the best product.5.The United States is often described as a “melting pot” that absorbs immigrantsfrom diverse lands and blends them into something we call Americans. They may be Latin, or Russian, or Italian when they arrive, but given enough time they, or at least their children, become just like the rest of us. That may have been true in the past, but it is less so today, according to a growing body of research. Modern technology ranging from jet aircraft to the Internet has made it possible for new immigrants to hang on to their past, and what we see is not necessarily what we get. They are called “transnationals”, a new buzzword that has embroiled many experts in controversy. The experts can‟t even seem to agree on its definition, much less whether it is a good thing.6.There is a warm and cheery feeling in the room for this, the first meeting of theyear for the new kindergarten parents. Sharing stories about the little angels brings laughter, and when Ms. Jeffers reflects what a great step it is to send the little ones off to school for the first time, there is a bittersweet tear here and there.After a while, Ms. Jeffers takes a deep breath and says: “And now I‟d like to talk about a policy here at our School that all of you heard about during your entrance interview but which is controversial for some —the school policy about television and media.” Suddenly the room is quiet and tense. It is as if an arctic wind had suddenly cut through the pleasant atmosphere that had moments ago filled the space. The sudden change in the room is apparent to Ms. Jeffers as well —though not unexpected. Nevertheless, she forges ahead with conviction, relating her own experience of the difference between children exposed to the media and those who are not. She also cites research findings critical of television watching and computer use by children and hands out articles and study results by respected authorities.7.After reading so many books that touch me deeply, each one in its special way, Iunderstand now that my mother had a point when she tried to keep me away from books in my childhood. She wanted me to stay in my little town, to marry a rich and tiresome man, to keep up with the traditions. But the books carried me away;they gave me wings to fly, to discover new places. They made me dare to live another kind of life. They made me wish for more, and when I couldn‟t have all I wished for, they were still there to comfort me, and to show me new options. Yes, my mother was right. Books are dangerous; books are subversive. Because of them I left a predictable future for an unforeseeable one. However, if I had to choose again, I would always choose the books instead of the lackluster life I could have had. After all, what joy would I find in my heart without my books, my most faithful lovers?8.Mothers and daughters should work together in some informal setting beforeforming a business partnership. And that‟s just what Kelly did before she joined her mother‟s 16-year-old antique store. “As a child, I always worked with my mother on projects,” says Kelly, the company‟s 36-year-old marketing and public relations manager. “We‟ve always had a good working relationship.”That old saying, “Mothers will always be mothers,” certainly applies here. Many daughters say that one of the major drawbacks to successfully running a mother-daughter company can be the inability of the mother to respect the daughter‟s professional skills. Some mothers still treat their daughters as “Mommy‟s little girl”— despite the fact that they‟re adult business owners. That thinking can cripple a mother-daughter operation. “Did I have reservations about working with my mother? Sure I did,”“Mom still likes to exert a certain amount of control over me.That‟s the biggest issue. My most difficult challenge is weaning myself from my mother. Her challenge is to look at her children more as trained professionals.”9.While working as a reporter, Walter enrolled in a local community college andgraduated two years later —first in his class of six hundred students. Mercy College awarded him a full scholarship to continue his education. He graduated from there, once again class valedictorian. After serving as editor and general manager of two daily newspapers, he moved to Parade magazine. He served as managing editor there before being promoted to editor of the largest-circulation Sunday magazine in the world at the age of thirty-five. In the course of his journalistic success, Walter met and interviewed a lot of famous people from whom he le arned some valuable lessons. “I thought for the longest time that I was the only human being who worried that others would find out that I was inferior, that I was vulnerable, that I deserved to be rejected. I now know that all sane human beings worry that others will find out that they are not quite good enough, that they can be hurt, that maybe they don‟t belong.”10.Whether you work for a free-spirited company like Ben & Jerry‟s or a moreconventional organization, you will discover that when all is said and done, what‟s done is more important than what‟s said. Action is the ultimate form of communication. It speaks with an unmistakable voice. The diaper changing tables in both the men‟s and women‟s rooms at Ben & Jerry‟s say more about the company‟s commitment to family values than any statement in a policy manual possibly could. At the same time, when Ben tears his remaining hair and laments that the company is growing too fast, the employees give each other knowing looks and hustle to meet production targets. They‟ve noticed that for a man who hates growth, Ben sure sells a lot of ice cream. Perhaps a certain amount of inconsistency between words and actions is unavoidable. Life is full of ambiguities, and most of us have mixed feelings about things from time to time.We don‟t say what we really mean; in fact, we don‟t always know what we really mean. Under the circumstances, no wonder we sometimes have trouble figuring out all the surface and underlying messages that we send and receive.。

英语高考口语模拟朗读范文Title: The Joy of Exploring NatureNature is a vast and wondrous world filled with countless marvels waiting to be discovered. From the towering mountains that pierce the clouds to the vast oceans that cover most of our planet, nature offers a never-ending source of inspiration and adventure.One of my most memorable experiences exploring nature was during a hiking trip to the mountains. The early morning sun cast a golden glow over the rolling hills, painting the landscape in hues of orange and pink. As we ascended higher, the air became crisp and fresh, filling our lungs with a sense of rejuvenation. The sound of birds chirping and the rustling of leaves underfoot created a symphony of nature that was both calming and exhilarating.At the summit, we were rewarded with a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. The rolling hills stretched out like a green carpet, dotted with patches of flowers and trees. In the distance, we could see the glinting waters of a lake, reflecting the sky like a mirror. It was a moment of pure bliss, when all the worries and stresses of daily life seemed to melt away.Nature is not just a source of beauty and serenity, but also a vital part of our survival. It provides us with food, shelter, and the oxygen we breathe. Yet, despite its importance, nature is under increasing threat from human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve this precious resource for future generations. Exploring nature can also be a great way to learn and grow. By observing the intricate web of life that exists in nature, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. We can learn about the interconnectedness of all things, and the delicate balance that must be maintained for life to thrive.In conclusion, exploring nature is a wonderful way to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, to appreciate the beauty and wonder of our world, and to gain valuable insights into the workings of nature. Let us cherish and protect this precious resource, so that future generations can continue to experience the joy of exploring nature.。

1. I Have as Much Soul as You“I tell you I must go!” I retorted, roused to something like passion. “Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? —a machine without feelings? I can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! —I have as much soul as you, —and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; —it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both has passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal,—as we are!”2. American DreamTo Americans, industriousness, thrift and ambition are positive values. We encourage our children to be competitive, to get ahead, to make money, to acquire possession. In games and in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the trophy, the contract. We go in for laboursaving devices, gadgets, speed and shortcuts. We think every young couple should set up a home of their own. And we pity the couple who must share their home with their parent, let alone with other relatives. Actually, of course, not all Americans hold all these values. And those who do may hold other and at times contradictory values that affect their ways of behaving. In the main, however, the collective expectation of our society is that these are desirable goals, and the individual, whatever his personal inclination, is under considerable pressure to conform.3. Three Days to SeeMost of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,”she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such reposes, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.1。
