英语口语训练.

1. Useful book important thing gift something you often do in your spare time how
you relax:
The Lord of the Rings
(Opening)
First of all, I have learned tons of vocabularies and sentence structures of English
from it, especially in my preparation of GRE. (I really use it as a helpful tool to
review those complicated words.)
Another reason is that when I’m in depression and want to give up, I just turn to
the story and gain some courage. Yeah, the hero in the story protected his hometown
and reached the final destination with great efforts.
In addition, I have cultivated the habit of reading a chapter of the Lord of the
Rings before I go to bed, and it helps me to have a sweet night and be in a good mood.


2. Important decision choose a job your goal in the future:
To be a professor in a university.
(Opening)
Firstly because, I think this kind of occupation like professor seems to have more
freedom. So I will be likely to have more time to do what I am really interested in.
Furthermore, I am very willing to teach other people and share my knowledge
and experience with my students. (I like the feeling of being respected by my students
and also share the enjoyment of learning with them. (If necessary))
(Overall, in order to achieve this goal, I should work hard from now on and that is
also the reason why I am preparing hard on TOEFL examination, because I want to
take further education abroad.)


3. Important celebration or moment challenging experience :
A hard-won basketball match in high school.
(Opening)
Our team was thought to be the underdog because we were not only much shorter but
also less experienced than our opponents. However, we didn’t chicken out(胆小鬼),
we didn’t give up. Instead, we kept fighting hard with great determination. We played
some excellent teamwork and finally won the game by one point.
This game is really meaningful to me because I’ve learned two important things from
it. First, you’ve got to have courage and confidence, the only thing we have to fear is
fear itself; second, teamwork and cooperation is often the key to success. United, we
stand.


4. Festival celebration:

Mid-autumn Festival
On the August 15th according to the lunar calendar, farmers celebrate the end of
the summer harvesting season on that day. And everyone can have a rest on this day,
and watch the bright moon.
Also, traditionally, it symbolizes the reunions of the families. Almost all the
Chinese go back home and have dinner with their families. After that, all the members
of the family eat the moon cakes and admire the bright mid-autumn moon together.
The moon at that night is the fullest and brightest of the year.

Centennial ceremony of our university
It was incredible. I saw a lot of school leaders, successful alumni, and special
guests including some famous scientists.
Furthermore, the school gave us a 3-day vacation. So we don’t have to attend
classes and were able to have time to relax ourselves and relieve pressure from work
and study.
In addition, many celebrities invited us to a splendid performance just on campus,
in which there were all kinds of singing, dancing, comedy you name it. We were all so
excited about it.
This centennial celebration is just fantastic and unforgettable.


5. Celebrity you admire most most want to meet most want to talk with the good
characteristics of a leader:
Martin Luther King Jr.
The celebrity I admire most is Martin Luther King Jr.
He is a hero in the battle against the racial discrimination in the 1950s, who
contributed a lot to the promotion of democracy in the United States. Though he died
at an early age, his soul goes marching on.
I learned two most important things from him. Firstly, I can feel the spirit of
perseverance. Nothing is impossible if we have faith and courage in our mind and
keep struggling for it. Secondly, I learned that the sense of justice is so important for a
man to be great.
(Want to talk)
1. Ask him what makes him so perseverant in his belief regardless of the
miseries he has experienced?
2. Tell him that racial discrimination has been eliminated. I think he will be
very pleased to hear about this.


6. Place you love to visit you and your friends often visit your favorite room
favorite company:

My bedroom
One thing that I am most satisfied with is the big French Windows in the room.
When it is sunny outside, the bright sunshine just pierces the windows and sheds on
my bed desk, which make me feel warm and comfortable.
Another thing appealing me is the colorful flowers decorating the room most of
which are my favorite ones, the carnations. It is a flower which represents love and
good wishes to our family and friends. To people who is so concerned with their
families like me, it just speaks out their inner desires.


7. Happy event in childhood visit to a place somewhere you want to visit:
A visit to Spain with my brother
First of all, Spain is a country which has its own tremendous history, and all of
them are reflected in its prehistoric cave arts. The paintings never stop fascinating me
since my junior high school.
Also, my sister has studied in Madrid, the capital of Spain for three years, and we
haven’t met each other for a real long time. She invited us to Spain to enjoy the
sunshine, visit the wildlife parks and the great architecture which is very different
from that of China.
(In addition, that is the only trip I have with my brother, now he becomes a doctor
and gets married, who is too busy to afford another trip with me.)


8. Good characteristics of a teacher parent friend neighbor:
Patient, responsible, speak and behave appropriately (for teacher and
parents)
In my point of view, good parents teachers should possess the following
characteristics:
First of all, parents should be responsible and care about the children’s students’
well being. They must do all they can to raise teach the kids students and turn them
into useful people to the society.
Also, good parents are always patient and calm when children are making
mistakes. They make the kids know right from wrong by treating them with kid
gloves.
In addition, since the parents are the role model for the children, a great parent
teacher needs to speak and behave appropriately, in order to set a good example.

work and study.

Option 2 (with friends): What’s more, since the park is always quiet, it just
provides us an ideal place to meet. We talk about our life experiences and share
happiness and sorrow, just like a big family.

Museum
Unlike ordinary museum, it shows us the history of this university instead of
exhibiting paintings or ancient coins. This would definitely improve our
understanding of its culture and much other meaningful stuff.
For example, the exhibition impressed me most is an manuscript, which was
written by the first president of our university, nearly 100 years ago, about how to
improve staff’s quality.
What’s more, the museum has made our university a more famous one by
attracting people who is visiting our city from all around the world.
