10级第二学期第二次口语话题参考答案

1. The Media

1) Which do you like better, radio or television? Why?

To speak frankly, I like watching TV. First, there are a great variety of programs on TV. People can learn the latest news around the world --- that’s why people say “to stay at home and still you can get to know the world.” There are various entertainment programs, such as films, TV series, talk shows, variety shows, MTVs, etc.; such programs can entertain people, and help people to kill the leasure time so that people will not feel bored in such periods. On TV, there are also many educational and scientific programs, from which we can learn a lot.

In addition, there are programs on attractions and places of interests, by means of which, people can “stay at home and travel around the world.” Comparatively, radios do have some advantages: they are portable; you can listen to radio while walking or even working, but TV does outweigh radio in many ways. Of course, TV is not without problems: spending too much time in front of TV distracts you from your studies or work, and it is harmful to your eyes. So, I’d like to say, it’s really helpful and beneficial to watch TV, but don’t be addicted to it.

2) Do you often watch TV? What TV programs do you like watching?

Or: Do you often listen to the radio? What kind of radio programs do you listen to? What do you think of them?

Reference:

There are different types of media today. Radio and TV are the two common media for us. They connect us to the outside world. They tell us what is happening and shorten the distance between us and the outside world. I like listening to English news, Special English of VOA is my favorite. I keep on it for several months. It’s very helpful for my English learning. In addition, I often listen to some sports news and music on the radio. These radio programs make me funny and relaxed. Of course, compared with TV, radio is portable, I can carry it with me whereverI go . I like it very much.

3) Can you imagine a life without TV or radio? What role does radio or TV play in your life?

Reference:I can’t imagine a life without TV since I enjoy watching television so much. It really plays an important role in my life. Whenever I feel distressed, bored or unhappy,I will turn on the television to watch my favourite programs to help relax myself. However, to watch TV, you have to stay in the same room as a television, and you can’t watch it during driving or jogging, do you? Besides,TV watching takes up too much time; I no longer have enough time to develop other interests. Maybe these are the only disadvantages of television.

2. Love and Marriage

1) What factors do you think are important in making a boyfriend or girlfriend?Is romantic love the most important condition for marriage? Why?
