大学体验英语第二册口语解答

U1 TOPIC 1 Famous Universities

Section One Each of the students will be asked one question on the topic “Universities”.

1．What kind of universities are good universities in your eyes?

First of all, it should have a strong studying atmosphere. I hope students there can talk about their own opinions freely. Secondly, the teachers are high standard. Then, teaching equipment should be good, which will contribute to our study.

2．Do you think universities should try their best to provide their students with more scholarships? Why or why not?

I don’t think more scholarships are necessary. Merit-based scholarships, which are mainly awarded by universities, aim to encourage the students to learn more. It’s a motivation, or a reputation. Students who have financial problems could apply for need-based scholarships. So it’s not necessary for universities to provide more scholarships.

3．Which is more important in your college life, study or working experience? Why? In my opinion, we students should put study in the first place. Only by learning enough knowledge and skills now can we get a good job in the future. Our main task is to lay a solid foundation for the future. While we can get working experience anytime we want. So, it’s out of question that study is more important in college life. 4．If you had the opportunity to further your study in famous universities either at home or abroad, which would you choose？Why?

To be honest, I’d like to go abroad. First, I want to broaden my horizon. I have been dreaming about something quite different. Second, the academic atmosphere is freer abroad. Finally, I hope to meet more friends from all over the world. So, if possible, I’d like to go out to experience the study life there.

5．What is the aim for your college life？Explain.

Above all, it’s beyond question that I want to acquire the knowledge and skills I expected. We can surely gain some working and even social experience. But they should not be our main aim. We should respect our university, the last place from where we get system education. So, my aim for college life is to learn as much as I can. 6．Do you think having a part-time job might affect your academic performance?

Why or why not?

Personally I think it will. It’s certain that taking a part-time job will occupy some study time. Study is not just doing homework. It requires many practices. Having a part-time job may affect our further study and our academic performance.

Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:

What can make a university famous? Please give as many examples as possible. Famous universities such as Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, etc, take only those students who have achieved very good grades.It is also another reason that in reputed institutions the teachers are also high standard ,so it is difficult for the ordinary students to follow their instructions.
