英语口语考试(共二十题)整理版

1.What do you think is the most serious challenge of living in a big city? The most serious challenge of living in a big city, in my opinion, is crowding. Big cities are very crowded, no matter on the pavements(人行道) or in the buses. What is more, the traffic is always heavy. It’s a nightmare(噩梦) to drive in and around Beijing or something like this. Moreover, city’s car parks are always very full. Sometimes it may take hours to get from a given place to another. So I think if you decide to settle down in big cities, make a preparation for facing the big challenge. That’s all thank you.2.Say something about the impact of horror films on young children. In my opinion, children who watch horror films may be more likely to develop anxiety(焦虑), sleep disorders,self-endangering and aggressive behaviors. Children may be too young to actually understand horror movies，What is more, at that age, they can't tell the difference between real and pretend(假象). he could be getting nightmares and it may become part of his memories in future when he grows up. So I think children shouldn't watch horror shows until they are old enough.That’s all thank you.3.What factors influence you most in your choice of a job?I think there are several factors that affect our choice of a job.First,the job should contribute to our further development and personal enrichment,and must offer us a wider space of development.Second,we should concern that if we are suitable for a big city or a small one.Many people prefer to work in large cities,for there are more opportunities for their personal development. Whereas some people would rather work in small cities than big ones,because of the pressures that big cities bring about. Third,I believe that the compensation is also one of the important factors that affects our choice of a job.Many people would rather choose a job which has a higher revenue than a lower one,and so on.There are many factors which can influence our choice of a job.But in my opinion ,the job which suits for our talents and makes up for our weaknesses may be the most important thing in my choice.That’s all thank you.4.How would you prepare for a job interview?Firstly,I think a good resume is necessarily needed.In my resume,I will list some important information related to the specific job I applied,such as my working experience, my experience in students’union,my education and so on.Secondly,I need choose a proper suit suit for the interview,it may not be the most expensive but must be the best fitted.Thirdly, I will prepare some questions which are common in an interview,such as “the shortcomings,good qualities about yourself”.If all the things above have been done,I will check the right route and buses to the company, collect all my confidence and set out.5.Do you think it is desirable(令人满意的) to have a job in the same city where your parents live?Give your reasons, please.I think so.On the one hand,if we stick to one job that is in the same city where your parents live,we can pay more time with my family ,and understand the needs of my family,What’s more when something unexpected happened or something which our parent need our help ,we can get to their home in time.On the other hand,I think the place which my parents are my safest place to hide.No matter what the problem we need, go to the home which our parents live and talk something which are interesting ,then our heart will relieved.So working in the same city where your parents live,not only can you take more time in your job ,but also you can take care of them better.6.Do you think private cars should be encouraged?In my opinion,Private cars like a double-edged sword.On the one hand, Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. And with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go.So having a car means a more convenient life.On the other hand, There are also some disadvantages about owning a car.for example, people pay more time on the road because of the more and more crowed roads ,the constantly rising prices of gasoline and repairs aggravate the burden of life,and with the development of the Automotive Industry,our environment has experience more serious destruction.I think we should hold on to the advantage which the development of Automotive Industry brings,at the same time we also have to improve traffic conditions and take more environmental protection measures.If we can do like this I think our home will become more and more harmony and beautiful.7.Why do you think some Western countries encourage people to ride bicycles?In my opinion, the reason is that riding bicycles can bring numbers of advantages.First, they are cheaper, easier to handle and more convenient than any other transports. Second , compared with cars, bicycles produce no harmful gases at all. They are 100% pollution free and will never pollute our living conditions. That is the main reason why so many western countries encourage riding bicycles. Last but not the least, riding bicycle does good to the peoples' health.In the end I think our country should also promote bicycle travel to release the crowded road and reduce the exhaust gas ,and make our country become more harmony and beautiful. That’s all. Thank you.8.Do you think it’s possible to remove all commercials(广告) from TV? Your reasons for your choice.In this modern society, TV is an important and usual media. Many people use TV to transmit news.the role of TV commercials is more and more important. I believe that it is impossible to remove all commercials from TV. Because it’s roles is irreplaceable. Firstly, Compared to newspapers and other mediums, TV commercials can bring lots of money ,and it constitutes a large pat of tax(构成大量税收), so if we remove all the commercials , the income of our government will decrease largely. Secondly, TV commercials can open our eyes and let us know more new products and give consumers more choice. The last but not the least, some interesting commercials can bring people beautiful visual enjoyment and spiritual shock, also we can learn a lot of knowledge from it!

Not only do the hobbies can increase our knowledge but also they can make us feel happy everyday. Having a good hobby is of excellent meaning to all of us. On the other hand, if your hobby is bad such as gambling or surfing and your economy is not well-off, I think it is not worthwhile. It is a waste of time meanwhile the huge expenditure will make your life in trouble.That’s all thank you.10.Do you think having a hobby will affect your studies? Give your reasons?I don’t think so . Having a good hobby not only expands your horizon but also improves your specific knowledge structure, and it will provide you with a better chance to find a good job in the future.As is known to all, our society is in a great need of the special workers and experts. Some sports such as playing football, climbing mountains and so on can practice your ability to work efficiently with your fellows.So I think the hobby is the supplement of your studies,and it will bring you some unexpected surprise in the future.That’s all thank you.11.Do you think the moral standards of a person will affect his or her future career? Please comment.Absolutely agree. First，I believe that we Chinese family pay more attention to improving minor's moral standards(未成年人道德标准), because ethical individuals (有道德的人)are more likely to succeed in the long term. Second, many of good corporations place great importance on moral standards. The higher the moral standards are, the more potential will be stimulated. Furthermore, people with high moral standards can get along with others well. In a word,I agree with this view .that’s all.12. Comment on the impact of one-child policy of Chinese government on the growth of children.China is the most populous(人口稠密) country in the world. Now the one child policy is acting effectively on changing the condition which has lasted for centuries. Economically speaking, the one child policy is saving a lot of human resources for the overall economic development. However, each coin has two sides. One child policy is no exception. To start with, it will bring about some potential disadvantages to the child. With one child, all the family members will give their love and concern to the child only.To sum up, as far as I am concerned, the advantages of one child policy far outweigh its disadvantages if we adopt it properly. That's to say, if parents take proper measures to show their love to the only child as well as educate him or her, we will benefit a lot from it!13.What kind of qualifications do you think a person should possess to be a successful manager?To be a successful manager is not an easy thing. If he want to achieve success, he should possess some kinds of good qualifications. Firstly, the manager should have the ability of dealing with all problems and every-day affairs in his company. Secondly, the manager should have strategic perspectives of the related field（相关领域的战略前景）.Thirdly, strong psychological diathesis(素质) is important for a manager’s success. He should not be elated by success nor disturbed by failure.Many other good qualities, such as positive 、brave、diligent、enthusiastic and so on ,are all necessary for a manager to reach his goal and eventually attain success. That is all. Thanks for your patient listening!14. Do you think people’s ability in language is important? Why or why not?Yes, I think so.Firstly, language is a necessity in daily life communication. People from different places exchange ideas with each other using language. With the help of language, enemies will become friends, strangers will become acquaintances, and friends will become relatives. Secondly, you need language to do better in your work. Excellent language helps you to be qualified to your position. Thirdly, language plays a key role in people’s study process, particularly for the students at school. We students use language to communicate with classmates、teachers and social people in order to broaden our eyesight. Reading related professional books requires us to have a well-founded language background. So I absolutely agree this view.That is all! Thanks for your listening!15.Do you think the immigration trend to USA is as popular as it was before? Please comment. （再改）Immigration to the United States has been on the rise since the late 1960s. But according to the survey of Census Bureau, in 2007, the immigration to the US was only 500 thousand people, which was much less than 1800 thousand in 2006, and the number was down further in 2008. it is the downturn of the American economy and the publish of immigration law that brought about the decline of immigration to the US. the wave of immigration is ebbing(退潮) now. There are lots of reasons, and economic depression is an very important element. People go to America for better opportunity to work and to earn more.

Give your reasons for your answer.I think, today we are living in a TV culture. There are many reasons for this statement.

Secondly, To a large degree, we are affected by TV culture. Now, there are many movies and television shows reflect our culture. A show or movie must address some current social problem and trend in order to truly reflect our life.In fact, we are affected by this situation.18.Why do you think so many people prefer to immigrate to the United States of America?They think that they can have a better life in the America.
