Talk about three points that make you peculiar and different from the other applicants.2. A college student is going to graduate soon, and before he leaves campus, he is eager to take some pictures around campus. The teaching building, the dining hall, the basketball court all bring back sweet memories, but when he walks to the library, he suddenly feels different. He remembers that he hardly borrowed any books during his four-year college life, and he hardly read any books apart from a few textbooks. Are you like or unlike the college graduate described above? Is library still a good place for college students to update their knowledge in this e-age? What kind of role does reading play in your life?3. Do you know junk food? Then, you must know junk sleep.

Please get as much information as possible to support your idea.5. Today, the majority of the best-sellers are about success and successful people. How do you define success? Describe the successful life you aspire to fulfill and your plans on how to fulfill it.6. The murky sky in big cities has caused great concern. Debate on the question “Is it good to live in a b ig modern city?” If fleeing big cities or China is not a good way out, what can we do to make the sky clear again? Please keep in touch with the latest environmental protection measures such as eco-friendly burial, biodegradable substance ect..Example:1. Good morning Sir, I am glad to be here for this interview. First, let me introduce myself.Now I am 19 years old. I will get my bachelor degree with a major in communication engineering in 2 years. In recent days my roommate and I haven signed up for studying a minor subject in Wuhan University.During the time I stayed in school,I’ve learned a lot Professionalskills from the teachers who I must thank sincerely.I’m an optimistic,energetic,outgoing,active,humorous boy with so many hobbies,such as listening to music and reading some science book.In my free time, I often participate a lot of activities, such as table tennis, basketball or go out for a walk.In addition,I’m fond of playing chess. To conclude,I’m sure I won’t let you down.I hope that you can give me a chance to get my job.And I’ll give you much glory in return.That’s all.Thank you.2.I am unlike the college graduate described above. On the contrary, I will always go to the library to borrow some new-coming books to read in my spare time. I think library is still a good place for college students to update their knowledge even in this e-age. Reasons are various. For one thing, a good library contains many books that can’t be found in e-books ,so it provides the students with abundant resources. For another, the library creates a more suitable environment for students to read where they can calm down to read better, while e-books always make students to read quickly so that the quality of reading are getting worse. Besides, spending more time in library can help students to develop a good habit of reading. So, reading in the library is still a good choice for college students including me.For me, reading always plays an important role in my life. I read books for both knowledge and entertainment.And through reading.Not only have I enriched my knowledge,but also I formed my own attitudes and values which will influence me lifelong.3.Junk sleep which means low-quality sleep usually caused by disruptions from nearby electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, and TVs.In recent years,many eledtronic device come into our lives.Many people besides me ususlly play these device very late which cause us very lazy in the second day.Besides these,staying up too late harm our body such as reducing the immunity and being depression.So it is very important for us to avoid junk sleep.In my opinion,first,we can form a good habit such as doing some sports.Playing sports not only keep healthy,but also help us sleep.Second we can read some interesting book or listening some Soothing music before sleeping.I think these two method would help you a lot.4.I don’t think this policy will cause a baby boom.For the following reason. Though the policy allow couples to have two children,many people having being researched showed that they don’t want to have their second child.In the people who want to have second child,many parents wantto have a baby girl and a baby boy.If they all give birth to the second child,the demographic structure in China will surely change.So I think this policy will balance the male-to-female ratio.5.Today, the majority of the best-sellers are about success and successful people.Different people have their different ideas about success.Some of them want to be a millionaire,some of them maybe want to become a famous man over th world.As for myself,I also have my own idea about success.My success is not money or reputation.I only wish the people around me to have a healthy body and a happy life especially my parents.They paid a lot on me and I know that very much.Maybe it is simple,but I think it will be my best success in my life.6.Although the sky of big cities is murky, there are still many people choose to live in big cities. On the one hand, big cities always provide more opportunities for people to live a better life because the level of economy, education, technology is always higher than the small town. On the other hand, living in big cities is also much more convenient, especially the transportation. So in summary, it is not a wise way to flee big cities. Then, what can we do to make the murky sky clean again? As far as I am concerned, we can do these following things toclean our sky:First, we should use more green energy such as natural gas as fuels instead of using oil which tends to produce much more harmful gases.Second, we should use more public transportation such as subways or buses to reduce the use of our private cars. Certainly, it will be even better if you go out on foot without vehicles. Third, we should protect the trees and plant more trees to improve the air conditions.Fourth, we should avoid throwing trashes optionally or pouring wasted liquids.Above all, we should strengthen our awareness to protect the environment and the government should take some effective measures to punish people who do harm to our environment.I believe if we do all the things above, a cleaner sky will not be far in the future.。

Do you think the death penalty can prevent or reduce crimes? Why or why not?10. What measures should we take to prevent drunk driving?1 Yes, one does not earn success unless someone else gives he/she the opportunity so one's personality is very important in terms of influencing their success because a person that respects other people will be respected in return.5most people prefert dogs to cats,Dogs are more loyal to their owners than cats are,Also,dogs are more intelligent than Cats,They can carry out human instructions and perform farily complicated functions.Moreover,with its strength and agility,the dog is caplable of protecting the house and its master.However,I would’t go as far as to claim that cats are worthless,Thanks to their soft fur,meek tempers and cute face they often ladies’favorites.6 I don't think we should. Because they are different from us. As students orteacher on campus, we are not as rich as those movie stars. What's more, our roles in society are different from starts. Stars are trying their best to draw people's attention, so most of them may dress strangely enough. However, we live in universites and we should behave ourselves to be normal in terms of dressing style or hair styles. Put it simple, we should dress comfortably and cleanly. That's enough. Most clothes advertised by movies stars are expensive and fashionable. I don't think they are suitable for you and me.I dont't agree that young people shoud buy th clothes advertised by movie stars. In my opinion ,it's a waste of money. We buy clothes just because we need them to wear.So we care that if it is suitable. If we like moive starsparticlarly, we can buy their photoes, maybe it will be cheaper. So wo must remember that we buy clothes, not stars.I am agree with you,Mr Zhao.You say"As students or teacher on campus, we are not as rich as those movie stars."Yes,we do not have enough money,we have to ask our parents for money.What we should do is to save money.Parents is providing us for everthing.We should not to buy the clothes advertised by Movie Stars,they are expensive,and they are not necessary.Ordinary clothes can satisfy our needs. 060620It's common that more and more people like to make up themselves by imitating movie stars,expecially their clouthes.They always buy clouthes advertised by movie stars.Such a spirited argument springs up about whether young people should buy clouthes advertised by movie stars .I have a different view .In most ways,quite a lot of young people are short of money.They could hardly live a life as rich as the movie stars do.Meanwhile,what fits the movie stars are not bound to fit the young people,as the movie star always have good figures.It's the effect of movie stars that makes the clouthes more attractive.Then it could cause waste.In conclusion,there is not point of buying clouthes which advertised by movie stars.Only the clouthes fit you are the good clouthes!On the whole, I do not think it is a good idea to imitate a movie star's clothes. Students should focus on their studies. In the case of students from disadvantaged families, they have no reason to add to the financial burden on their parents. A fashionable dress costs too much for their parents. If a student has done his work well and has plenty of money, then I have no objection to his wearing a film star's fashionable clothes. Wearing such clothes, some people may feel content and then concentrate on more useful pursuits.7Yes, some people do treat differently according to what we’re wearing.1. attitude,2. voice3. the way they looking at youbut different people have different opinions.Luckily, most people judge you by your ability, intelligence, personality rather than your appearance. I agree with these and I don’t often pay much attention to others’ clothes.In fact, Clothes can’t represent you.it doesn't matter what you say. Just say what you are thinking.For me,i think people have different reactions when you wear differently. It's because of several reasons. First, the clothes you wear mean your own wearing style.Secondly, people need to wear clothes which should be suitable to the situations. For example, if you do business with a company, it's better for you wear formally.When you do these kinds of questions, you need to give the main idea first, then you need to say sth. to support your idea.8 If I have a large sum of money and it's enough, I will certainly do the three things below.First, I will give some to the national charities, such as Chi-na Charity and Red Cross Charity. As you know, there are tens of thousands of' refugees in the Yangtze flooding area and they are suffering from the bad living condition for most of them are homeless. Though some of them have gone back to their own houses, which luckily weren't damaged, there are still lots of problems they have to face. From above, I think that the refugees need money badly either to rebuild their houses or for their destroyed fields. However, many problems can be solved if the charities have enough money to offer them.Furthermore, I will give a lot to the "Hope Project" in order to help the children, especially in the countryside, who can't go to school only because of the lackof money. Doubtless, if the children can't go to school, how can our country get rid of pover-ty? How can the rural residents' living standard be raised? Every time I see the well-put sentence, "There is no greater privilege than the raising of the next generation," I can't help wondering, "How to ?" But one thing is for sure, the heavy task can't be re-alized without enough money.Thirdly, I will give the rest of the money to develop our na-tional industry. Industry is the base of country's progress and prosperity. We have to knowthat there is a long distance between China and developed countries. That means, if we want to shorten it, we must have a lot of money to improve the production facilities and technology so that we can create a better environment for our industries to develop.Save most of it for a car, college, a great apartment off campus, my wedding, a house for when I get out of college and get married, an amazing house in Nigeria for my parents to stay in when they visit there cause that's where we're from but we are in America now. I would also let my parents use some of the money to buy a new house as long as my room is the biggest room in the house since I won the money in the first place and I would get a professional interior designer to design and decorate every room in the house. But for now since I'm only 13 I'd make sure that I didn't use over $50,000 for myself a year until I'm 18 and then I can start using more. I'd also save money for my retirement, my parents retirement, my death, my parents death, oh and I'd save for my own design company, DivaK (Diva Kemi) designs.I'd also donate to charities of course and maybe even start my own.I've got everything planned.I'd buy myself a heart when the one I have fails(I have Heart Failure).I'm 30 with 3 kids so I would buy myself a house and go on a first time vacation to Disney!!So they could experience it.I would definitely move out of NY.I'd open a store in my mothersname(rest in peace).I'd buy a nice car that seats like 6 and not4.I'd invest some of it,maybe buy a building or house and rent outapartments.My kids college educations would be paid forsomeday.They are 13,10 and 3.I'd hire a health attendant or maid so i wouldn't have to cook or clean with this stupid heart that doesn't pump right.I'd be so happy to live comfortably and not worry about what will happen to them when im gone.They would be set at least financially.Most important is that i would create morememories and go places,travel.For me time is of the essence.1.Pay off debts, & buy a nice house & piece of land somewhere.2. Buy a cryonics full-body suspension for when I kick thebucket.3. Invest the rest in various trust funds to fund certainprojects of interest to me. These would include certainpro-freedom groups, life-extension & cryonics research, andprivate space travel.4. Enjoy life with my wife.9 Yes, the death penalty should be used as a tool of punishment for those deserving of it. Over the years, there have been countless and unusually cruel crimes committed by man. These crimes range from an "innocent" rape to the torture and mutilation of the victim. Such men like Richard Trenton Chase. He was a serial killer, that was known as the Vampire of Sacramento because he not only killed, but drank the blood and ate the flesh of his victims, sometimes before even killing them. This is not a fantasy world, where only grown and mean men are targeted, but even more commonly, children and women are main targets of these evils. It is only understandable that even the inmates of Richard Trenton Chase wanted him to kill himself. Can you image a man who shot, raped and bathed in the blood of a three month pregnant women still breathing the same air as you? Would you, your wife and kids feel safe knowing that this man is still alive and well?Do not think for one moment that this case is rare, and that no other man would do suck horrific things. A man named Jeffrey Dahmer, a man that could lie to your face, manipulate and dismember your body all within the same expression. Would anybody want such a danger to be kept alive? Or does anyone really think such a man can be changed? He is a cold, calculated and dangerous killer.The death penalty is a part of the justice system.

And also explain how you usually manage your money.Today we’ll talk about t he consuming habits. As a boy I went to market seldom. I would go to the supermarket to buy some necessities, like shampoo, once a month. As the online shopping become more and more convenient, I always buy things on the internet. They have reasonable prices, besides I do not have to go outside especially in summer. But online shopping also has some disadvantages.So XXX what about you? Can you share your consuming habits with us?I suppose you as a girl have different opinions with boys?So do you guys worry about running out of money? When we go to the market or purchase online we may want to buy many things. But your money is limited. Then you should manage your money. How do you think about that problem, XXX?As I know many people prefer to choose a brand they trust or famous. As an example I like to buy clothes in MB or VANCL. What about you?Topic 2 The education system in chinaPlease introduce the educational system in China briefly. Do you think academic excellence will necessarily lead to success in the real life? If not, what else do you need?Today we will talk about our education system. In china, children are asked to have 9-year compulsory education when they reach the age for school. It’s about7-year-old, maybe younger or older. After the end of compulsory education, there will be an opportunity to participate in the entrance examination for high school. Depending on your grades you will be chosen to go to the high school or the vocational school. Some of children from poor families may give up studying to find a job directly. Children who entered high schools are more likely to have a chance to go to colleges for higher education. Generally College needs 3 years studying, while the undergraduate needs 4 or 5 years. After the undergraduate education, most people choose to find a good job.But there are also some people going to attend graduate school, like us. In China, graduate students need to study in school for 3 years. After graduation, you canselect a PHD, or you can go to work. At this time you can find a well-paid job because your degree. As we know, whether you can get further education depends on your academic performance.When we are working or applying for a job, does academic achievement play an important role in that?Topic 3 HappinessWhat does happiness mean to you? Please explain your understanding of it, and the road to happiness.Today we will talk about the happiness in our life. Some philosophers said that, happiness is to give up your hopes. But some people said that happiness is to have dreams and fight for the dreams even if you may ultimately fail.A friend of mine, who used to read a lot of psychology stuff, once said to me: "Happiness is a myth. We think that we'll be happy when we achieve or process the thing we lack, and when we do, we find that there other things we lack, and so it continues...” Sometimes we mislead ourselves in situations in which we think this is happiness. Then we awake suddenly on the shocking truth that we were living in an illusion. In that case can we say that we are really happy? Can we call that fake happiness? Why do we sometimes lie to ourselves in order not to face the truth?What do you think?I think happiness is to accept yourself and life the way it is. I´m just learning to do that, always trying to think positively and enjoy little things like children’s laugh or pretty day. I start to feel that happiness is so easy to attain. It is not a matter of feeling happy and savoring every joyful moment, but being content with what life have offered. This still does not mean that you have to give up your dreams. You can dream about your future, but still should be happy for what you already have. But the problem for most of people is that we strive for more and demand for more, despite life giving us every opportunity to be happy.Ok! Thank you for your opinion today! That’s really inspiring!Topic 4 BeautyWhat’s your understanding of beauty? What do you think of plastic surgery? Would you like to have one? What are the benefits and possible risks of plastic surgery?Today we will talk about beauty! Everyone admires beauty. Everyone has his own standard for beauty. What’s your understanding of beauty?Many heroes don't have beautiful surface. However, their beautiful images often come to our minds. Their beauty comes from their contributions to the society.Don't be eager to judge whether a person is beautiful or not without a thorough understanding of him. So in my opinion, a beautiful person is not the one with nice appearance, but with a broad and kind heart. Good looking is pleasant while spiritual beauty is more important. As an old saying goes, “Virtue is fairer than beauty. “ If you have a kind heart, you own real beauty.But many people don’t think so, especially some girls. They tend to think that they own beauty if they have a good looking. They are not satisfied with their appearance. They spend much money on taking kinds of surgeries. Can beauty really beman-made? What do you think about?As a girl can you give us some other views?If so, everybody can get beauty. As a result, there is no beauty at all. As the old people said, the appearance is given by our parents and unique in the world. Everyone should value it. I would rather value the nature as the standard of beauty. Just accept ourselves, accept everything parents give to you, and create the beautiful life belonged to you.Topic 5 reading literatureDo you like reading literature? Who is your favorite? Why do you like him/her? May you please introduce one of his/her works to us?Today we will talk about reading literature. So do you like reading? Reading is one of my favorite things to do in spear time. I like reading because it is a good way to relax myself and get lots of different useful knowledge at the same time. My favorite writer is Helen Keller. By reading her books I can not only learn about her stories but also learn noble spirits from her. The one which gave me a very deep impression of her works is Three Days to See. The book tells a story about what she is going to do if she has three days to see the world that is full of positive and optimistic attitude for life as she is blind.Topic 6 English as a global languageDo you think English is a global language? Why or why not? And please state why you should study English and how to learn it well.Today we’ll talk about English as a global language. I know all of us speak English as the second language. So, do you think English is a global language? And can you explain why?I do agree that English is the global language. In my opinion, English is more than “a”global language, also “the” global language. That’s because it’s influence. English is not spoken as the first language by most people all over the world. But in many place, English is used as the main language, such as the computer programming language. English is the dominant language of business and transnational organizations. As you say, more and more government chooses English as their official language. More students in our country started learning English since the primary education now. And most of you have learned English for almost 10 years. For me, I’ve learned English for more than 13 years, since 4th grade class in primary school. For such a long time English-learning, I think everyone have his own way to get a high score in the test. Can you guys share your secret of English-learning?Yes as the old saying goes: practice makes perfect. In English learning practice is very important, including listening speaking writing reading etc. for me, I like watch some American serial play in my free time. That’ll practice your listening, and make you know more about American culture.We spend a lot of time on English learning, that’s the point that I mentioned before about its influence. But what I want to say at last is that we shouldn’t give up our mother tongue.Topic 7 watching TVDo you like watching TV? What programs do you like most? Please describe your favorite TV program and then talk about the advantages and disadvantages of watching TV.Today, we are going to talk about an important part of the media-Television. Most of us would agree that watching TV is part of most people’s lives. So do you like watching TV?For me, I like watch American serial show on the internet. So I don’t like watch TV very much. But I always accompany with my parents watching news in summer vacation. And I will discuss it with my parents. At that time, we all feel very happy. So I think Watching TV can relax our mood in hard work and study pressure. And it will increase our knowledge, for example when we look at science and technology program. But a long period of time to watch is bad for our eyes and harmful to our health.What’s your opinion about the advantages and disadvantages of watching TV?Topic 8 Surf the internetDo you often surf the internet? What do you usually do on the internet? May you please talk about the conveniences and also some negative effects the internet brings to your life?Today we will talk about the internet. We know that the Internet plays an important part in our daily life. On the Internet, we can get as much information as we can. We can send e-mails to our friends and talk to them as well. Besides, on the Internet we can read books, enjoy music and watch serial shows and so on.What do you usually do on the internet?So I think read the news, chatting and online shopping may be three main activities for people using internet. Taking shopping online for example, shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most importance is perhaps its convenience. People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. They can do shopping without leaving their homes. However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. For example the consumers can't see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer.XXX what do you think about the internet?Yes, so whether the advantages and disadvantages, we must distribute our time reasonable, Balance in learning, life and entertainment. We must certainly grasp the discretion.Topic 9 allergyWhat do you know about allergy? And then please talk about some infectious illness and how to stay healthy.Allergy is such a complicated kind of condition. It’s never easy to handle.

Most people with allergies have weak immune system.In the past decade HIV get more and more attention of people on the earth. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. The virus infects and gradually destroys immune system cells, reducing the body's protection against infection and cancers. A person infected with HIV is infected for life - there's no cure. HIV can only bepassed on if infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids or breast milk gets inside another person's body.To stay healthy, a person needs to have a healthy lifestyle. This means following a proper and balanced diet. It is also important that a person figures out the underlying symptoms of the allergyTopic 10 Natural disasterPlease talk about a natural disaster, its destructive effects, what we can do to prepare for it from both the personal and governmental level, and how to protect ourselves in the disaster.Today we are going to talk about is the earthquake. April 20th is an extraordinary day in 2013, it is in this day that shocking earthquake happened again in Sichuan province, China. Thousands of people were injured even died. First of all, I want to ask your understanding of the earthquake.As we all know, if the earthquake’s magnit ude is higher, the destructive is much bigger. Earthquakes often caused serious casualties. It also can lead to fires, floods, toxic gas leakage, diffusion of radioactive substances and bacteria.Although we did not experience an earthquake, the word earthquake is not strange to each of us, we can't stop earthquakes, but we must know some preventive measures. We should focus on ways which can reduce the impact, how we can prepare to significantly reduce death, injuries, and damage when they occur.As far as I’m concerned, preparing is vital. We should have the consciousness of crisis，in danger, we should stay keep cool, Don not panic, don't lose reason, Don’t panic, especially because panic is the greatest danger. We should grasp some shockproof methods. Can you say something about it?。

But on the contrary , men dislike shopping even hate it , they would like to enjoy the fruit only , so do i , they feel painful to accompany girl friend shopping , most men are accustomed to get to the point when shopping , once they have a fancy to some items , they will buy it without hesitate.3、educational system in ChinaIn China, each of the students has a regular class and each class has its own fixed classroom. Neither the class nor the classroom changes frequently. Actually, classes and classrooms seldom change in primary as well as in middle schools. What is worse, there are also a lack of courses which are available for students to choose. The schools often offer the students courses which would be one of the subjects to test in a diversity of examinations. So, students may feel very boring of the courses and finally lose their interests of learning.In china’s classes, we have a serious learning atmosphere. Lots of rules are settled for students to obey the teacher’s words. Students are arranged in their own fixed seats and should not change without the teachers’ permission. Then if they want to expr ess their own opinions, they must hand up, standing up, at last say what they want. On the other hand, one question should have one correct answer, every possibilities is wrong if it is not mentioned in the key. Nevertheless, with the developing of the society, a lot of fashion, modern facilities are available for teachers to use, however, because of the influence made by traditional education, they, in fact, seldom.Education is the most important thing for one country and it is also the most effective way to make a country develop. China’s education system has its own characters and advantages, but there are still some issues and disadvantages.4、going abroadThe other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked the immediate objection of my family：Why？Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at relatively low cost？My answer is：in addition to knowledge，I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home，the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years，for example，my English will be as perfect as native speakers.Second，living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective of the world. On a university campus，foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and sees my own country in a new light.Third，overseas experience，frustrating and painful as it may be，is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty——difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet，it is a rewarding experience for one＇s future life and development of personality.5、high scores, low abilityA 、The student must have a clear aimThe student must make sure why they learn English. In general, we will use English as a tool to communicate with others or to show our opinion. In this way we must pay attention to our oral English. If you want to be an interpreter, then you must put the theory of interpret into your ability. Only when the student have a clear aim, that they will know what is the real point in their study and do not only focus on the marks.How to solve this problem is also must start from those two aspects.Ⅱ、How to solve the problem1、The change of teaching mode(A)To emphasis on teaching effect, enlarge students’ opportunities of communication and to increase students’ interest in language learning. In teaching practice, the principle of “students as main body, teachers as leading role” and strict implementation of “precise explanation and more practicing” should be stressed. It is essential to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere and a strong learning environment so as to improve students’ self-confidence, enhance their learning and speaking abilities.In the process of cultivating students ability of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating, it is important to provide students with a wider range of material and a more diverse activities as well as communication opportunities; It is also extremely important to invite professors and foreign teachers to perform "face-to-face" communication with the students, to hold English party, to setup English group, to encourage and guide students to organize English club, to perform English speech contest as well as English composition competitions.(B)To foster students self-study ability. The duty of the college English teachers is to give students comprehensive knowledge, and to tell them how to obtain knowledge. The former is to give students “fish”, the latter is tell students how to “fishing”. It is more important to tell students how to “fishing” than to give them fish. In the process of teaching, “fishing” means to regard student as main role, motivate their English learning ability, and cultivate their good learning method. This will be much more important than simply to give them “fish”.3、Change the examination mode(A) The examination must focus on using the languageTeaching and Learning their relations, for both teachers and students, we have to be clear that Testing is not a way to difficult the students, is not a way to give some high or low scores to students either, it is a way to review what they have learnt, to train their abilities of putting what they have learnt into effect, to help them learn more. Between Testing and Teaching, the latter is superior.The examination must focus on using the language and it must related to current things. In this way, students can learn something, at the same time use what they have learn.4、The change of the studentsA、The students must face the factsThe students must face the facts that what they are learning most part are all about thetheory .The examination is focus on the theory .However, they can not change the facts .What theycan do is to change themselves. They must know that the purpose of learning language is use it asa tool ,not just know the theory .6、the most important quality of human beingsI don't know what is the most important quality of human beings. But i know some are very important.Which quality i respect most is honesty. I am trying to be honest, i am trying to have an honest living. I know that it is very hard to be honest, but i hate those who are not honest, and i respect those who are honest.Honesty is very precious today in china. You know, people need to doubt the safety of foods when they are taking foods, because there are pesticide pollutions, and the rapeseed oil may be not real, it might be made of chemical materials. And many problems are there. They cheat you. They are not honest. Don't believe them because they only believe money. They don't believe that who break pay, evil will be compensated with evil.7、watching TV一，TV改变生活（change life，important）Television has changed people's life much since it was invented. Now it has become one important part of modern life.二，TV的好处（relax,interesting,information,knowledge)People enjoy themselves after hard work by watching TV. They can see some plays, some stories, some sports matches without going out of home, and without spending much money in buying tickets. TV programmes make people's life more interesting.People learn much from TV, students can study by watching some educational programmes. People can see news, weather reports, programmes about science and computers. People all over the world can learn from each other and get knowledge when they are watching TV.三,TV的坏处(crime,time,eyes)But not all the programmes are good enough. Today, there are too much programmes about love and crime. Some people become bad because they learn from the bad people in those programmes. And watching TV usually takes too much time. It's not good for people's work and study. It's not good for their eyes, either.四，TV好坏取决于自己(depend on ourselves)People all over the world are watching TV. Is watching TV a good thing or a bad one? I think it depends on people themselves. If one can choose good programmes and he doesn't spend too much time on TV, it can be a good thing for him.8、fashionNow many people like to talk about "fashion". The word is becoming more and more popular in people's life. But who can tell me exactly what fashion is? Nobody can. Different people have different ideas about fashion. For example, some people like wearing the same dresses as the film star's, because they think the dresses are fashionable. Some girls think it is fashionable to wear boy's clothes, because they are different from other girls', some people like to wear sunglasses in winter. They do n’t use it to protect their eyes, but they think it is really cool. They also think it is kind of fashion. So it is difficult for us to agree with other people about fashion.The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current and popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal公共的art. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and materialism. A number of cities are recognised as global fashion centres and are recognised for their fashion weeks, where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences. These cities are New York City, Milan, Paris, and London. Other cities, mainly Los Angeles, Tokyo, São Paulo, Sydney, and Dubai also hold fashion weeks and are better recognised every year.9、travelingIt is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries.The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a trip to the nearby mountains or beaches to have a real relaxation. For another example, someone do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands, now, spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfied experience. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book.10、sportsMy favorite Sports is basketball. It looks very cool in TV, so I was crazy about those basketball stars ever since I was little.Basketball requires speed, height and skills. I run, jump, switch, and try to hit! All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. I feel that I’m like wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so great!Basketball needs quick reaction and decision. When chance comes, it may disappear in the next second. I should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.Further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, It needs team work. No one can play himself. A team should work together. So I learn to cooperate with others in this game. I should understand what my teammate doing and what he needs me to do for him. On the other side, I should learn to show my teammate what I need. At the same time, I need to keep an eye on the whole game, knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. It involved more cooperation and strategy.I played basketball more for about 5 years now. I make many good friends throught this sports. It is proud to win honor for my team and my school. Also I enjoy all games with my friends. Basketball will be my best friends in the future and my best memory about school life .11、one child policyThe population of China is 1.3 billion now. The large population has made many bad results, for example, the environment is becoming worse and worse. So to reduce the population is urgent. In China almost every family has only one child, in this way-China’s One Child Policy, the government has controlled the growth of the population.In a family mother, father and the child, the child is usually brought up patiently. The parents let him have good education and want him to be a useful person to the society when he grows up. As the child has no brothers or sisters, he must be trained to get on well with other people, such as his classmates, teachers, other family members etc. He has to get used to communicating with others. Usually, I think it is hard to us -“One Child”, yet I never give up.Most of the developed countries have a small population each. I am sure the Child Policy will bring many advantages to China.12、entertainmentToday, The Studies show that an increasing number of people throughout the world are spending one fourth of their incomes on entertainment. This suggests a unexpected change in personal views on pastime and leisure expenditures. And, entertainment has become a trend that satisfies our special needs.Generally, entertainment include two different categories: physical and intellectual. Physical entertainment refers to many activities, those can help us keep healthy. for example basketball football games, though regarded as a kind of sports, usually teaches us how to effectively cooperate with people. We encourage physical entertainments since health bring a better life for us. While, on the other hand, intellectual activities have appeared to be more and more appreciated by certain education experts, This kind of activities seem to be quite educative and instructive, it can cultivate our own potentials for success or an understanding of life and human existence.Well, both kinds entertainments would be playing important roles in our life. Physical entertainments build up sound health for us, while the later, build up a sound mental status for us. And, physical health could be attained through other forms of exercises while intellectual growth seems to be more important because intellectuality is the source all kinds of creations.13、computer gamesComputer games,know as video games,give great pleasure and satisfaction to mang people,especially youngsters.Apart from it,they can train youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moveover,they can stimulate their imagination and interest in electronics and in computer science.Computer games,on the other hand,also have disadvantages.Some young people,students,in particular,are too much indulged in them.As a result ,their eyes,even health were seriouslyaffected.This in turn influenced their school achievements.In my opinion, Computer games are a king of wonderful enterainment,if you play them in a clever way,if they interfere too much with your study,it is better for you to give them up at once.If you have enough self-control over them,you can certainly obtain pleasure and benefit from them.14、equality between man and womanShould men and women be equal? This is a much talked question nowadays.Some hold that men are superior to women in many ways. For one thing, many jobs which can easily be done by men, can hardly be done by women. And for another, most of the world famous people are found to be meals. Moreover, the whole human society seems to have all along be dominated by men only. Hence, men should enjoy more rights than women.Other people, however, maintain that both men and women are born equal. And women are certainly as intelligent as men if they are given equal opportunities of education. It is a well-known fact that many women have being working side by side with men in many fields in China. Besides, there are many women, Madame Curie and Margreat Thatcher, to name only a few, in history who work as scientists and politicians. So men and women should be equal in every respect.Personally, I firmly believe that women should be given the same rights as men, because they are equally important in all human activities. Our human society would definitely have stopped to exist the sex. Is there any reason that men and women should be treated differently?15、part-time jobsMany college students take part-time jobs in their spare time. Whether it is good or bad is still subject to constant debates.Some people believe that taking a part-time job certainly brings about several advantages. To begin with,students can learn how to get along with people and know the society better by taking a part-time job. Furthermore, to take a part-time job provides the students with a valuable opportunity to put what he has learned from books into practice. Finally, students can make some money, which helps to unload their families' financial burden.However, problems may also arise. Firstly, some students spend too much time doing part-time jobs while neglecting their studies. Secondly, when taking part-time jobs, the students may be distracted from their studies by the colorful lives in the society. Thirdly, some students may be cheated or hurt by their employers, because they don't know how to protect themselves.As for me, I share the view that college students need to step out of the campus and take some part-time jobs if their schedule permits. After all, it opens them a window to know about the society, which is essential to their maturity.16、going on dietMany students, especially girls, often like to lose weight by eating less or taking different kinds of medicine. Dieting has become an obsession for some people. They may be so concerned with their health and outward appearance that they diet in order to stay slim. Indeed, these young women won't hesitate to do whatever they can to lose unwanted weight.For overweight people, dieting is of great benefit because being overweight is harmful to one's health and is the cause of many dangerous diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Dieting can contribute to the cure of many chronic diseases by including or excluding certain foods.In my opinion, dieting is not beneficial in the long run. People tend to lose weight initially but then they recoup their normal weight after sometime. To lose weight, you should take correct measures. In addition, losing weight is not only losing weight but also creating a new healthy lifestyle. And you can form good habits and reducing risks of diseases. At the same time, you gain confidence when you slim down.At last, you should know it takes time to lose weight. So please be patient. Don’t listen to persuasive but incorrect advice. Focus on the progress and quality and trust yourself!17、internet loveI think the cyber love is very good for us, yes, I quite agree with that. First of all, if you are very tired for love in real world, you can try the cyber love. Yes, as we know, the love in real world that we need always consider lots of things, and the love is very complex. So, let people feel so tired. But for the cyber love, we always feel easy to find the feeling or something like that which what we want. So most people prefer to choosing the cyber love when they are tired in the real world.我觉的网恋不错，我很赞同。

高考辽宁英语口语考试流程和内容全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Scary English Speaking Test for High SchoolHi there! My name is Xiao Ming, and I'm a student in primary school. My older cousin, Xiao Li, is about to take the big English speaking test for the Gaokao, which is the university entrance exam in China. She's been studying really hard, and she's told me all about this scary test. Let me share what I've learned!The English Oral Test is a part of the Gaokao exam in Liaoning Province. It's a test where students have to speak English out loud and show how well they can communicate in that language. Xiao Li says it's really important because English is becoming more and more important in the world, and universities want to make sure students can use English properly.The Test ProcessThe test happens in a special room with a computer and a microphone. Xiao Li told me that the first thing she has to do is read out some English passages or sentences. The computer willrecord her voice, and the examiners will listen to it later to check her pronunciation and intonation. That means they'll be checking if she says the words correctly and if her voice goes up and down in the right places.Then, there's a section where she has to answer some questions about herself or give her opinion on a topic. The computer will ask her questions, and she has to speak her answers into the microphone. Xiao Li says this part is to test her ability to speak English fluently and express her ideas clearly.The next part is called "retelling a story." The computer will show Xiao Li a series of pictures that tell a story, and she has to describe what's happening in the pictures using her own words in English. This tests her ability to use English grammar and vocabulary correctly while telling a coherent story.Finally, there's a role-play section. The computer will give Xiao Li a situation, like ordering food at a restaurant or asking for directions, and she has to have a conversation with the computer as if it were a real person. This tests her ability to use English in practical, everyday situations.The ContentXiao Li has been practicing all kinds of English topics to prepare for the test. She's studied things like:Introductions and personal informationFamily and daily routinesSchool life and subjectsHobbies and interestsFood and diningShopping and clothingTravel and transportationHealth and fitnessEnvironment and conservationTechnology and social mediaShe's also been practicing her English grammar, like using the right verb tenses, forming questions correctly, and using appropriate vocabulary for different situations.It All Sounds So Hard!Wow, just thinking about all of that makes my head spin! I can't imagine having to speak English like that, especially with acomputer recording me. Xiao Li says it's really nerve-wracking, but she's been practicing a lot, and she's feeling more confident.She told me that the key is to practice speaking English as much as possible, even if it feels silly talking to yourself. She also recommends watching English movies and TV shows to get used to hearing the language spoken naturally. And of course, she's been working hard on her grammar and vocabulary too.I really admire Xiao Li for taking on such a big challenge. Even though the English Oral Test sounds scary, I know she's going to do her best. After all, she's been preparing for this for a long time, and she's determined to get into a good university.I'll be cheering her on from the sidelines! Maybe one day, when I'm older, I'll have to take a test like this too. But for now, I'm just going to focus on learning my English and having fun with it.Good luck, Xiao Li, and to all the other students taking the Gaokao English Oral Test! You've got this!篇2The Liaoning English Oral Exam: A Big Test for Big Dreams!Hi there, friends! Are you ready for a fun adventure?

My name is Xiaoming and I'm in 6th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the super important English speaking test that high school seniors have to take if they want to get into a good university here in Liaoning Province. It's called the Liaoning English Oral Exam and it's part of the huge College Entrance Exam that everyone has to take. I'm kind of nervousabout having to do it myself in a few years, but my older cousin Xiaoyu just took it, so she told me all the details!First up, the basics - the test happens once a year, usually in June right after all the written test subjects are done. Unlike the writing and listening and reading and other test sections, the speaking part is done one-on-one. That means you go into a room all by yourself with one examiner, instead of being in a big room with hundreds of other students. Scary!The examiner is a teacher that you've never met before from somewhere else in the province. Xiaoyu said her examiner seemed really nice though, and smiled at her a lot which helped her feel less anxious. Apparently they are all specially trained on how to make students feel comfortable.So what actually happens during the test? Well, first the examiner makes some small talk with you for a couple minutes. Just casual stuff to help you loosen up, like asking about your hobbies or what movies you like. Nothing too hard.Then the real test begins! The examiner will show you a picture and ask you to describe what you see. The pictures are usually pretty straightforward scenes, like a family having a picnic or people working in an office. You have to talk for 1-2minutes spotting all the different things and characters and actions happening.After that, the examiner reads you a short passage of just a few sentences. It could be about anything - a funny story, some random facts, a bit of news. Then they ask you a couple comprehension questions to see if you understood the main points of what they read.The third section is where it gets really tough in my opinion. You have to choose between two subject prompts, like "environmental protection" or "the importance of exercise." Whichever one you pick, you have to give a speech about it for 2-3 minutes! That's a long time to talk nonstop in English if you ask me. Xiaoyu said she rambled a bit at some points when she couldn't think of what to say next. But the examiner didn't seem to mind too much as long as she kept trying her best.Lastly, the examiner asks you some more open-ended questions related to the subject you spoke about. These aim to see if you can think critically and have a deeper discussion in English, not just recite memorized facts. For environmental protection, they might ask you how schools could teach students to be more eco-friendly. Or for exercise, what you think are the biggest obstacles stopping people from working out regularly.And that's it - the whole test takes around 15 minutes from start to finish! The examiner records everything you say and it gets sent off to be graded by a panel of experts. Your score makes up a chunk of your overall English exam score on the College Entrance Exam.From what Xiaoyu described, the test seems equal parts terrifying and fascinating. Having to speak spontaneously in another language for an extended period of time is no joke. But it also seems like a great way to actually test your real-life English ability, compared to just writing answers on a paper.Those are the main things to expect for the Liaoning English Oral Exam. It sounds intense but I have a few years to mentally prepare myself. Who knows, maybe by the time I have to take it, talking nonstop for 3 minutes about exercise will feel like a breeze! A boy can dream, right? Let me know if you have any other questions!篇5The Big Speaking Test! A Kid's Guide to the Liaoning Gaokao English Oral ExamHey kids!

The graders know this is really hard and aren't expecting perfection. Just try your best to keep plowing ahead and communicating your points as clearly as you can.If you do get completely stuck, you're allowed to take a short pause of a few seconds to gather your thoughts before continuing. Just don't go taking super long awkward pauses where you stop speaking altogether.The graders also won't penalize you too much for smallgrammaror pronunciation errors, as long as you're still able to get your overall meaning across. Phew!Tips for the Big Test DayOn the day of your oral English test, be sure to get a good night's sleep and eat a nutritious breakfast to keep your body and brain energized.
