In this presentation, we will explore the factors that contribute to human happiness, drawinginsights from both ancient wisdom and contemporary research. Factors Contributing to Happiness.Positive Relationships: Connection with others is crucial for happiness.

全国高职高专实用英语口语大赛”选拔赛竞赛参考题Part II Presentation (3 minutes)Number of Hours Worked Per Week1Numbers of Day’s Annual HolidayJAPANSWEDENT he average Japanese worker spends 47 hours a week, or 2 100 hours per year, at the office or factory, while the average Swede clocks up only 37.Swedish workers have 28 days of holiday per year, but the Japanese have only 15. A typical Japanese worker takes a six-day week, however, a Swedish worker works less than 5 days a week. If you are a worker, life is much easier in Sweden than in Japan, for you can work 10 hours shorter each week and you may have a much longer annual holiday.2 Change in Number of Visitors by CountryIn 2009 there were a large number of visitors to China on group or independent tour. But there were changes in the numbers of vistors from different countries. Some increasedGroupbut some decreased. The greatest change happened in Bangladesh. The number of visitors from Bangladesh was down------there were 70% fewer group tour visitors and 48% independent travelers than the year before. Visitors from Argentina were up by 53% for group tours and 26% for independent travelers. The number of visitors from Sweden was up by 24% for group tours and 15% for independent travelers.3 Sales of Computer Company50100150200250123456789101112At the beginning of the year sales of the computers were as 80 000 pounds. Sales rosesteadily between February and April. However, they then fell slightly between April and July. Following a minor rise in August, sales declined noticeably from 160 000 pounds to 120 000 pounds. The downward trend continued, and in November sales reached their lowest point since January. Fortunately, thanks to a new marketing strategy and growing demands for holiday goods, sales increased dramatically at the end of the year and eventually reached 200 000 pounds. In all, it’s a year of both rise and fall and was finally ended up with great success in sales.4 Time Spent on Different Media by TeenagersSales (Pound)×1000Month24681012141618s u r f o n -l i n ew a t c h T Vl i s t e n t o r a d i ou s e t e l e p h o n er e a d b o o k s &m a g a z i n e sThe chart shows a survey result about the hours the teenagers spend per week on the different media such as Internet, TV, radio, telephone and books or magazines in their spare time. Clearly, the teenagers like surfing the net very much and they usually spend 16.7 hours per week on-line. Next to this, they would prefer to watching TV, 13.6 hours per week being spent for that. Interestingly, in a week, they only spend about 6 hours reading books or magazines. And the amount of time they spend in listening to radio or using telephone is just in between.5 Foreign Trade Growth of China (in billion of RMB)As the graph shows, Chinese exports almost remained steady in January last year. In February, they went up rapidly. In the next three months, they fluctuated between 20 billion and 25 billion. From May to October, exports saw a slight decrease, then a small increase in November. In December, there was a significant increase. But after that, Chinese exports fell dramatically.Compared with exports, Chinese imports saw a continuous rise from the beginning of last year to May. In the next six months, they showed a gradual fluctuation. At the start of November, they began to pick up and from November to December, imports increased abruptly to reach a peak of 17 billion. At the beginning of this year, a sudden decline in exports led to steep fall in imports.6 Market Share of MEX Company Productshours/weekThis pie graph shows the breakdown of the market share of MEX Company products in the world. As you can see, the is still our largest customer. It has the largest percentage of the market share of our products, at 40%. The second is Europe, at 30%. Next is Japan, which makes up 15% of our market share. And Australia accounts for 10%. Finally, the smallest part of our market share is taken up by Africa, with only 5%. Recently the world economy is not booming very fast, so we should improve our management system and try our best to produce better products and explore potential market in the future.7 Total profit & its expenditure(in thousand US dollars)Company name: SuperSonic Industries Group Corp.This Graph reveals that our total profit of 2009 is US$200,000, which is US$50,000 higher than that of 2008. To expand business, our investment in establishing new enterprises was raised from US$80,000 in 2008 to US$140,000 in 2009. And the new circulating fund also increased from US$70,000 in 2008 to US$150,000 in 2009.8 Describe the caricature and give your comment. 9Africa 5%USA 40%Japan 15%American Students 50% 35% 15%Chinese Students 90% 5% 5%Income Sources Between Chinese Students and American StudentsIncome sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students. In China, students get 90% of their money from their parents while in America, only 50% of students’ money is provided by parents. In addition, Chinese students earn on ly 5% of their money from part time jobs and 5% from fellowship or scholarship while income from these two resources for American students takes up 35% and 15% respectively of their total income.I think there are probably three reasons for their differences. First, because of the influence of different social and family values, Chinese students have formed the habit of asking for money from their parents while American students have developed more sense of being financially independent. Second, most Chinese parents devote too much care to their children and they would rather save up to afford their children’s education rather than encourage them to take part-time jobs. But in America, many parents pay more attention to developing the students’ ability of self-reliance, so they encourage their children to find part-time job to earn some money by themselves. Third, since America is more developed than China, it is relatively easy for students to find part time jobs. In China, such opportunities are rather rare.I believe with the development of China, more and more Chinese students will realize and pay more attention to the necessity of self dependence. In addition, more and more opportunities will be provided for them to take part-time jobs. So more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.10 The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The table indicates the number of miles by the average English person in 1985 and 2000, using various means of transport.The number of miles walked, cycled and traveled by local bus all decreased. Of these, the number of miles traveled by local bus decreased the most, from 429 miles in 1985 to 274 miles in 2000.The number of miles traveled by car, long distance bus, train and taxi all increased.The number of miles driven by car was 3,199 in 1985 and rose by 50% to 4,806 in 2000. The number of miles traveled by long distance bus more than doubled from 54 miles(1985)to 124 miles (2000). The number of miles driven by taxi trebled from 13 miles (1985) to 42 miles (2000). The use of other, unspecified, forms of transport also increased.Overall, the number of miles traveled by the average English person rose from 4,740 miles in 1985 to 6,475 miles in 2000, with the increase of cars accounting for almostall of that increase.11A. staying at homeB. travelingC. doing social investigationD. other waysFrom the two charts, we can see that in the past ten years the students who go traveling and do social investigations during vacations have increased greatly while those who stay at home have decreased a lot.There are several reasons for the changes. Firstly, with the development of economy, many people have become better off. Students can get financial support from their parents for traveling. Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the past ten years. Many new scenic spots have been built and exploited. In addition, the students today are expected and encouraged to participate in facing the real world. In this way they can obtain the necessary experiences required when they go job-hunting upon graduation.From the changes in the charts, we can predict that more and more college students will make their vacations interesting and worthwhile by going to the outside world instead of staying at home.1213 How Americans spend their money1415 The table below show social and economic indicators of fourcountries in 1994, according to United Nations statistics.Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.。

So more students will go out of the ivory tower to broaden their knowledge and to become the master of their own lives.10 The table below gives information about changes in modes of travel in England between 1985 and 2000.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.The table indicates the number of miles by the average English person in 1985 and 2000, using various means of transport.The number of miles walked, cycled and traveled by local bus all decreased. Of these, the number of miles traveled by local bus decreased the most, from 429 miles in 1985 to 274 miles in 2000.The number of miles traveled by car, long distance bus, train and taxi all increased.The number of miles driven by car was 3,199 in 1985 and rose by 50% to 4,806 in 2000.

The use of other, unspecified, forms of transport alsoincreased.Overall, the number of miles traveled by the average English person rose from 4,740miles in 1985 to 6,475 miles in 2000, with the increase of cars accounting for almostall of that increase.11A. staying at homeB. travelingC. doing social investigationD. other waysFrom the two charts, we can see that in the past ten years the students who go traveling and do social investigations during vacations have increased greatly while those who stay at home have decreased a lot.There are several reasons for the changes. Firstly, with the development of economy, many people have become better off. Students can get financial support from their parents for traveling.

I think… That reminds me of….. Talking of…., I know….. 【参考范例】When planning a presentation, speakers should first be clear about the composition of audience. The types of audience determine the techniques and languages they are going to use in the presentation. For example, if the speaker is faced with a group of migrant workers with poor educational background, he is supposed to use simple language with less graphs and technical words.Secondly, a good presentation depends on the support of equipment. Speakers must cooperate with the organizers to ensure that all needed equipment stands by and there should always be spare equipment in case anything goes wrong during the presentation. Meanwhile, the lighting and seating arrangement are to be fully prepared before the presentation.Moreover, to give a good presentation, the speaker is expected to have a thorough research on the topic. A good preparation will make the speaker confident of his performance, which in turnwill arouse the audience’s enthusiasm. Last but not least, a knowledge person is not necessarily a good presenter, so in order to improve the quality of his presentation; the speaker must learn presentation skills and practice them.Topic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Selecting an interpreter for a meeting with foreign clients● Experience ● Reliability【词汇&短语】需要，要求call for 正直；诚实integrity积累accumulate 忽视，未注意到overlook环境，条件，情况circumstance 核心core结果outcome 互动interaction准确的accurate 咨询，协商consultation【句型点击】●常用礼貌打断语Can I ask a question?Can I interrupt for a moment?Just to change the subject for a moment, do you….?●概括性论述In most cases…..Generally speaking…On the wholeBy and large【参考范例】When selecting an interpreter for a meeting with foreign clients; to begin with, we must consider the related work experience of the interpreter. Interpretation is a skilled job which calls for a great deal of practice. A good interpreter must have accumulated plenty of experience and known how to respond quickly under different circumstances.Reliability is another important factor when choosing an ideal interpreter because he is the bridge connecting the two sides. A good business outcome depends on his accurate and fluent interpretation. Meanwhile, his personal integrity of occupation shouldn’t be overlooked because he grasps some business secrets and has the chance to touch the core technology.In addition, the personality of an interpreter should also be taken into consideration when selecting one for a meeting with foreign clients. Good personality will smooth the communication and encourage the interaction of the both sides. To some extent, a good interpreter will affect the result of business consultation.Topic C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Introducing a new product range onto the market●Timing●Advance publicity【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】产品系列product range 结束，终结terminate确保，担保ensure 提前宣传advance publicity在很大程度上to a great extent促销活动promotional events不合时宜的ill-timed 方向，定位orientation【句型点击】●常用口头衔接语Well, the point I’m trying to make it is that…Well, what I am trying to say is that…And don’t forget…●常用开场白I’d like to begin by saying…I’d like to begin by raising the issue/question of….There are two points I’d like to make…【参考范例】When introducing a new product range onto the market, timing is the most important factor. A perfect timing can ensure the success of the product range to a great extent while an ill-timed launch will terminate the development of new products.Besides, advance publicity is very important in warming up the market and arousing people’s interest in the coming of new product range. Advanced publicity is usually conducted through advertisement campaign. Good advance publicity will make people wait anxiously for the new products. And when the products are finally on sale, they couldn’t wait to possess them. At the same time, the company should organize various promotional events to stimulated people’s enthusiasm still further.What’s more, to successfully introduce a new product range onto the market, the company should have a clear orientation of the potential customers, or in other words, the product range should have target customers. Nowadays, people like to show their personality over the things they use. So the fate of a new product range heavily depends on its followers or fans.第四辑Test 2Topic A: WHAT IS IMP ORTANT WHEN ……?Aiming to improve career prospects●Reading business articles●Learning a foreign language【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】职业规划career prospect 保证guarantee系统的organic 职业能力proficiency开阔视野broaden the horizon 语言能力command of language【句型点击】Take… into account.Give you a clue of….….is becoming increasingly popular.….helps you step forward.【参考范例】When aiming to improve career prospects, I would take four factors into account, namely a good reading habit, a good command of foreign language, a further education and an organic frame of the world. To start with, a good reading habit can enrich your knowledge. When you are reading business articles, the latest business events will give you a clue of what to do on your own position. Secondly, foreign language learning is becoming increasingly popular in companies because it guaranteeseffective communication with overseas business partners. Thirdly, further education helps you to step forward. With more training, your proficiency will be improved. Last but not least, an organic knowledge system also plays an important part in the career development. A broadened horizon would enhance your professional skills.Topic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Deciding how to transport goods●Destination●Speed目的地destination 运输中in transit立即发货prompt delivery 装货过程loading process快递流通fast turnover 最佳报价best over【句型点击】In order to…With regard to… 基于Other things being equal…同等条件下【参考范例】When you are deciding how to transport goods, the destination of the delivery is the prime element to be considered. For the sake of convenience, various means of transportation should be adopted with regard to different distance of the delivery. Furthermore, we can’t overlook speed. A more prompt delivery means a faster turnover. On the other hand, delivery and loading of the goods shouldn’t be neglected. If the goods are not taken c are of. There could be damages either in transit or during the loading and unloading process or by other reasons. If the percentage of the damaged portion is too high and the goods are in a bad condition, The Company can suffer from a huge loss. And now it comes to the last point price, other things being equal, as long as the transport company can handle the items properly, we would definitely choose the one that grants us the best offer.Topic C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Purchasing new machinery●Level of automation●Maintenance requirement【词汇&短语】生产线the production line 付款条件payment terms由电脑控制的computerized 严格检查strict inspection提高效率raise efficiency 全自动的fully automatic极具清楚crystal clear 假设出来的情况hypothetical case【句型点击】We should aware of…My interes t is towards….If we don’t take this seriously…..【参考范例】When purchasing new machinery for production line, the level of the automation should be considered first. Just imagine how much labor it will save if the whole process is computerized and fully automatic, that is exactly the reason why we buy new machineries to save labor and raise efficiency. Moreover, we should be aware of the maintenance requirement of the machineries we bought. It should be stated crystal clear in the payment terms whether it is the responsibility of the buyer or the seller to get the maintenance covered. Furthermore, quality should be viewed before the purchase. The machinery has to pass strict inspection to guarantee qualified productions of goods. Finally, if I were in charge of the purchase, my interest will be towards safety. The visual of some worker getting caught in the blade of the machinery is horrifying. If we don’t take this seriously, this image will not be a hypothetical case.第四辑Test 3Topic A: WHAT IS IMPORTAN T WHEN ……?Selecting a retail sales assistant●Previous experience●Appearance【词汇&短语】销售经理sales manager 促进销售sales promotion推销潜力sales potential 销售利润selling profit代理商Selling agent【句型点击】●表达现状We can’t ignore the fact that….No one can deny the fact….This phenomenon attracts people’s interest in…【参考范例】When selecting a retail sales assistant, several factors should be taken into consideration. Firstly, I think if the candidate has some previous experience, he or she may get a priority or privilege for the position, because as may other employers, I attach great importance to it for that matter.Secondly, I would pay attention to the personal appearance of the applicants. A good appearance can make the publicity of the company better and easier, and the clients and customers will have deep impression of a decent, neatly dressed sales assistant.Thirdly, some basic skills and qualities are necessary, such as communication skills and analysis skills. And also, to keep contact with customers is very important. It can help us to improve our achievements and make sure we have sustainable resources for the future development.Topic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Contacting clients by telephone●Calling at the right time●Listening carefully【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】客户支持clients support 打扰disturb可供利用的available 热情的enthusiastic令人反感的annoying 时间把握timing【句型点击】I am in the middle of…我正在忙着To put it in another way..….is the key point.One of the best ways to…. Is…..【参考范例】When contacting clients by telephone, we have to cover the whole range of business matter in a limited time, so we have to be very brief and efficient in every minute available. As a matter of a fact, we talk all day, but how to talk is obviously a somewhat neglected art.To be specific, firstly, you should make sure that you call your clients at the right time, because it is impropriate, impolite and very annoying to disturb your clients when they are in the middle of something. To put it in another way, the perfect timing is the key point. Secondly, when contacting clients by telephone you should listen carefully, because one of the best ways to show your respects to your clients is to become a good listener.Thirdly, you need to have a positive attitude and to let your clients feel that you are positive and enthusiastic. Also, you can keep a harmonious circumstance between you and the clients. Of course, there are other details that you should pay attention to, such as do not hang up first. We often say that the details determine you will succeed or fail. Note that the details can help a lot to solve the problems effectively.Topic C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT W HEN ……?Managing change●Clear objectives●Communication【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】企业目标business goal 蓝图blueprint核心竞争力core competence 与时俱进keep pace with time大的市场份额The lion’s share【参考范例】In this information age, the capacity to manage change is becoming increasingly important. Consequently, more and more managers begin to put this issue in the spotlight. In my perspective, when managing change, several factors should be taken into consideration. The first one is to set a clear objective, because it is the blueprint of a company’s future development. Without the guide of a clear objective, one will get lost in the business jungle.The second factor is communication skill. An effective communication can promote cooperation, and communication is usually considered as an inevitable way to effective management.The third one is technology and qualified personnel. They are the core competitiveness of the enterprises and they are the software and hardware that drive the enterprise to work in a full speed. Without them, it is hard to keep pace with the time. The last but not the least, creativity is also important. Even a single innovative idea may be capable of helping an enterprise to take the lion’s share of the market.第四辑Test 4Topic A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Considering setting up a staff canteen●Employee’s opinions●Cost to the company【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】至关重要的crucial 策略战术tactic能被利用的available 注意be aware of….交换意见compare notes 或者alternatively长期预定long-tern reservation 可行性feasibility以员工为中心的employee-oriented 建筑，建造construction【句型点击】As far as…..concernedWith respect to….关于….To be specific 具体来说Be supposed to….应该……Conserve no effort to…不遗余力地【参考范例】With respect to setting up staff canteens, I suggest that we should be aware of the following four factors. To start with, employees’ opinions are supposed to play a crucial role. Undoubtedly, we should conserve no effort to meet the needs of the employees. We can benefit a lot from this employee-oriented tactic. To be specific, we can compare notes with employees from different departments, or, alternatively, we can make them vote for a decision.Secondly, the cost of the company deserves to be taken into consideration. If there can be other more economic options, why bother to build an extra canteen? I mean, if the company can make a long term reservation with a restaurant probably, it saves time and money.Thirdly, the financial situation tends to interfere in the decision making. If building a canteen is a better choice compared with ordering foods from restaurants in the long run, we still have to consider the expenses in building the canteen--------an undergoing construction is a big deal for the company anyway. Lastly, the location of the canteen is also quite important. If you want to build a canteen, there should be space available for it.Top ic B: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Working as a teacher●Sharing expertise●Deciding responsibilities【词汇&短语】求助于resort to 零碎的piecemeal处理tackle with 前提premise倾向于apt to 灵活的策略flexible policy指派assign 唤起情绪invoke有机的，整体的organic 同时simultaneously【句型点击】The prime concern is… 首要考虑是..Given this pr emise…. 基于这样的前提Be expected to…被期待做某事，应该做某事【参考范例】When working as a teacher, the prime concern is sharing expertise. The need of the students should receive careful consideration. Through systematic training and teaching, the students should be able to resort to the professional skill of the teacher for reasonable solution of whatever problem they may come across in working experience.Secondly, the teacher is expected to decide the responsibility of his/her fellowman. In this case, it is better to tackle with the whole thing in an organic way rather than a piece meal basis. In other words, the person on the teaching position should be crystal clear of the strength and weakness of every student and assign them to the right positions based on this judgment. Given this premise, the whole team can work in an efficient way.Another crucial issue is how to monitor the students. Here we should adopt a flexible policy. It takes wisdom to let the students know that their behavior will be noticed b the supervisor and simultaneously to invoke the creative spirit out of them. In this way, we can improve the behavior pattern of the students and make full of their potentialities.Topic C: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN ……?Negotiating a contract with a customer●Customer needs●Available budget【思路点拨】【词汇&短语】可持续的sustainable 共同愿望common desire双赢win-win 建立贸易机会conclude business互惠互利mutual benefit 一致coincides with通力合作close cooperation 报价quotations最新商品价格目录表latest catalogues 履行合同observe the contract商业信誉commercial integrity 国际惯例international practices【句型点击】I have some comment on…..The products meet with great favor.How to precede with 怎样来进行How to put…. Into practice….【参考范例】If I am negotiating a contract with a customer, I will firstly take the customers’ needs into consideration. The reason is ve ry simple. It is the basis of the undergoing negotiation; we are sitting around the negotiation table because we need something from each other. It is our common desire to conclude the business.On the other hand, the success of the negotiation depends on the available budget. Without financial support, all the rounds of discussin g and bargaining won’t make any sense. That is why it is an international practice to consider about the budget first and reasonable design of the contract comes after that.Besides the above mentioned points, long-term cooperation is also an essential element. Although the well-being of our own party is the main concern of us, we should insure that the prices we offered are very favorable, or we may even make some readjustment in our offer if the customer insists. The drive behind these behaviors is that sustainable profit and win-win outcome will make sure the contract can be held good for a long term. That is why we ought to make it our permanent principle to honor the contract and maintain commercial integrity.。

Look for Compromise Instead of trying to ‘win’ the argument, look for solutions that meet everybody’s needs. Either through compromise, or a new solution that gives you both what you want most, this focus is much more effective than one person getting what they want at the other’s expense. Healthy communication involves finding a resolution that both sides can be happy with.

Don’t Give Up: While taking a break from the discussion is sometimes a good idea, always come back to it. If you both approach the situation with a constructive attitude, mutual respect, and a willingness to see the other’s point of view or at least find a solution, you can make progress toward the goal of a resolution to the conflict. Unless it’s time to give up on the relationship, don’t give up on communication.

Even though,often I have no idea what it is that I’m eating.E:Do you have tasted a special food in Wuhan?M:What is it?E:it is hot dry noodles,I often eat it and I like it very much.M:Oh,I have never tasted it .OK,I will have a try.E:I believe you will appreciate it much.So What attract you mostabout China?M:In my opinion,the Chinese have an incredible culture and incrediblehistory. I want you to think of the history of United States .Everything that has ever happened in the history of United States，George Washington,Slavery,The Civil rights movement,puta man on the moon,Barack Obama,everything.Now multiply that21.That’s how long Chinese history is . And out of such an incredible history,you truly get an incredible country.E:The Chinase civilization has a long history in the broad and profound,you will experience the endless charm of it.And how do you think Chinese people?M: The Chinese people for goodness and friendness is well known in the world,and what impressed me most is their continuous motivion. It is the next thing that I like about China,which is how they do business in the markets .Yes we do have markets in the United States ,but the markets in the US are nothing like the markets here.Bargaining is everything ,yeah ,you can bargain in the United States,but here ,bargaining is not just a part of capitalism.It is a sport and not only is it a sport ,it is a full-contact sport .Finally you spend 20 yuan purchase price for the 80’s stuff.We should really do more of that in the States because it’s great.I mean in the sense of bargaining ,China really is more capitalist than the United States.E: China and the United States differ in many aspects,so do you often feel unadapted?M:Oh ,too many!There is mang things the opposite of America .I say to myself:You just gotta get over it.But my heart was saying:Ahhh! I know ,I understand it is totally a cultural thing.E:Could you descript them in detail?M:I do not like how indirect the Chinese people are！In America，when we say same thing,that is what we mean.In China,however,when people say something,sometimes what they say is in fact the opposite of what they mean.so in China ,people are very very careful,not to say something that you might not like,for example,when Chinese government was worried that one of my friends and classmates has swine flu and wanted to take him to the hospital rather than telling him why they were taking him away in a ambulance.they just kept saying:“oh ,we just wan na take your tempurature.”Which leads me to my second thing I do not like China.Sometimes ,there is just absolutely no logic.Swine flu is a very potentially scary thing and for a country as tensely populated as China,there is some reason to be worried about it,but the Chinese gonverment there is no need to tell us that just because we are Americans and swine flu came from America that we can not leave our droms for entire first week we are in China.Now we did leaveour dorms frequently the first week we were here.We were just breaking the rules every time we did.E:What you just said is a common problem among Chinese people. They usually behave very subtle,which root in their the traditional idea of morality.They think refusing to others directly is impolite.When they have doubts in some things,they will become changeable.M:That’s it！The second thing I do not like China is atually the gerenal sense of uncertainty.Things will change suddenly ,thing will change randomly.You will have absolutelly no idea that things are about to change whey they change.An example for this would be internet connectivity,sometimes they say they let us get the internet,sometimes they say not,sometimes the site will be open sometimes it won’t.Sometimen theywill just rondomly unplug the router when you are checking your email.It is frustrating and you dot know what is gonna happen.E:So how do you get along with people around you,such as your classmates ?M: Everyhing is OK except that they desire to keep us pleased,they are aslo keeping us way too busy.We are doing lots and lots of cool stuff and Iam learning a lot.But I think 7museums in a week is……more than enough.I have not had time to just sit andobserve the culture.To be fair,I believe that things are slowing down now just a little bit.E:Thank you for accepting my interview,I hope you have a wonderful college life in China.Thanks again!Part3 ReportG:Then we come to the news from our school, ** University .Due to the death of Jack,we only invite Rose to our programme as a freelance reporter.Now let’s get touch with Rose.Y:Hello,Ladies and gentlemen,I am Rose.Just we have watched the international news, now turn your attention to the campues news .A young,vigorous school,Hubei University is meeting with its tenth birthday. In May, there are so many great celebration activites .Now, Student Unions,School Clubs and every institude are pareparing for kinds of activites. If you are interested in them ,coming here!You can join in the school celebrations’ volunteers.,it will be colourful and exciting.I believe you will never miss it!Go along the school road ,you can feel a strong festival atmosphere,everyone seems to be smiling.The girls are wearing colourful dresses ,what a beautiful scenery！Dormitorys ,mess halls，classroom buildings and library are being repaired,painting the walls,replaced the broken desks and bulbs.Of course,the school have arranged a lot of academiclectures,which involves literature economic,ect. Then ,you can choose what you are fond of to listen to.Every academic letcture has its own features and significance.For example, the school of Accounting is running a accountancy competion,inviting other universities to participate in.In May 18th,there is a wonderful party in the west playground,we are looking forward to having a sight sharing.Tenth anniversary celebration is so exciting for teachers and students ,but with the summer coming,six girls who live in Ju1-114 bring us“a War between Human and M osquitoes” every night.They live on the first floor and the ground is often damp ,so the amount of mosquitoes are much more than others in high floors. They feel very upset andI ask a girl (Z):“in theEvening ,mosquitoes are flying around us and make the sound‘weng,weng,weng’.At the monment, my arms and legs are bitten by mosquitoes. Wow!I think it is too itch to stand……”They immediately take out toilet water to spray,it makes the bedroom send out all sorts of toilet water flavor. They said ,before going to bed,they must wipe out the mosquitoes in the mosquito nelting .If they don’t do that ,they can not sleep restly.Now let me to teach you same tips to avoid mosquitoes.Exactly, our slobber(口水)can relieve itching,you may think it is dirty ,but it is a better way. There are many other ways to protect ourselves frombitting ,such as wearing long pants,keeping the bedroom tidy,dry and don’t put the garbage in the bedroom.That’s all!Thank you .I am the special journalist of Big Bang News ,Rose.Part4 Weather ForecastZ：All above is today’s content,the last part is the weather forecast.
