1. Animals
?
Do you like
animals?
--
你喜欢所有动物,
还是只喜欢某些动物,
它们的共同特点是什么?你喜欢它们的具体表现是
什么?
?
Do people in your country like animals?
--
答案是肯定的,多数人还是喜爱
动物,对动物挺友好的,但也有少数人虐待动物的,着实可
恶!
?
What animals do
people like to keep as pets in your country? (Why)
--
从最常见的开始说起,
并说明为什么它们那么受欢迎。
然后可以说说你所知道的不常见的宠
p>
物,并举例说明。
?
Is there any
change right now compared with the past?
--
这个问题问的是过去人们养的宠
物和现在又什么区别。其实,过去又有多少人养宠物呢?
?
Do people of
different age keep different animals as pets?
--
对不起,这个真不知道,但是你
可以猜猜。
参考:
--Yes I do, but not
all
animals. I prefer
animals that are
smart, cute
and um,
hairy
多毛的
,
for
example dogs. I dislike
those
hairless
animals, like
snakes
and
lizards.
蜥蜴
They look so
scary
, you know. I get
goose bumps
毛骨悚然
whe
never
I see
them.
--Well,
generally
yes
. I think
most
people are fond of
animals. And this can be seen from the
fact that
so
many
people keep animals as
pets
.
But I have to ad
mit
承认
that some people
are
cruel
残忍的杀害
to animals. I often read news reports
about someone
maltreat
ing
虐待
or even
killing
stray
流浪
dogs and cats.
It
’
s really
abhor
rent
【
?
b'h
< br>?
r
?
t
】
可恶的
behavior.
--As I know,
the
most common
pets are
obviously
dogs
,
all
kinds of dogs, like
pugs
(哈巴狗)
,
Peke
(京巴)
,
poodles
(贵妇,贵宾)
, pit
bulls
(比特犬)
,
huskies
(哈士奇)
,
chows
(松
狮)
, Pome/r
anians(
松鼠狗,
博美犬
)
p>
,
Samoyeds
(萨摩耶)
,
bulldogs, Chihuahuas, and cocker
spaniels
(可卡犬)
. In
my neighborhoods,
9
out of
10
pets are dogs. And I
think the
main
reason why dogs are so
well-
liked
is because they
are
great fun
and
smart
, you know, you
can
teach them to do some simple
tricks
技巧
, and they make
great company
when you are
lonely, and for children, they are
wonderful
playmates
, and one
more thing, dogs are
loyal
to
their master. So
they
’
re
in
deed
确实
< br>mankind
’
s
best
friend.
--Mum, well, I
don
’
t know
much
about the
past
, but I suppose one big
change is that
more
people
keep
exotic
异国
pets
now
days
than
before,
like
German
shepherd
牧羊犬
and
Persian
cat
波斯猫
. I
don
’
t
think people in the
past
could buy
such
pets.
--I
’
m not sure,
but I guess so. For example, I often
see
elderly
people have pet
birds
, but
I’
ve
never
seen
any
young
people
keep
them.
And
it
seems
to
me
that
dogs
are
well-
liked
among
all
age-
groups, yeah.
2. Your hometown (Version 1)
?
What’s your hometown famous
for?
--
头疼,我们那里没什么
有名的呀,那就实话实说呗;如果有,具体说一说就行,比如你们那
1
?
?
?
?
?
p>
里的食物有名,然后准备一种食物就可以啦,但一定要能描述它。
What do you like most about your
hometown?
--
这个可以
说气候,环境,生活方式等(可以和北京进行比较,因为喜欢是相对的)
What do you think needs improving
(needs to be improved) in your hometown?
--
可以从交通和城市环境两方面来
说。
Do you know anything
about the history of your hometown?
Or: Do/did you learn about the history
of your hometown at school?
--
这个真不知道,因为咱们学校不教地方史,如果想知道地方史的话,得问老一辈的
人,或者
去图书馆查去。
参考:
--My hometown is famous for its
cuisine
烹饪
,
especially
noodles
. People in my hometown
are just
crazy
about noodles, and we
’
ve got
about
100
different kinds of
noodles. And you can
find restaurants
selling our noodles
all
over
the country. My
favorite
is
a kind of
hand
-made
noodles, which are very
fresh
and
chewy
耐嚼的
, and
also very
tasty
and
nutritious
, with
fried
pork
mince
炸猪排肉
,
a
special
sauce
酱油
and
shredded
切丝
vegetables
like
cucumber
黄瓜
, and <
/p>
carrot
胡萝卜
.
< br> I like to add
vinegar
醋
and
fried
chili
辣椒
powder
粉
末
in it, giving
it a very good
sour
酸的
and
spicy
辛辣的
taste,
really
appetizing
!
开胃的
--The thing I
love
most
about my hometown
is
definitely
the
landscape
风景
.
Unlike Beijing,
which is very
flat
平坦
, my
hometown is
hilly
丘陵
, with
lots of hills and mountains. They are
green
all
year round, very good places for
camping, picnicking and
hiking
.
Another
thing I
love
is
the
lifestyle
,
which
is
relaxed
and
not
so
stressful
,
compared
with
big
cities
like
Beijing and Shanghai.
--I think one thing
that
really
needs improving
is the
urban
environment
.
It
’
s
not
very
clean
and
tidy
.
Rubbish
can be seen
everywhere
in the
street
and on the
pavemen
人行道
t
.
Many
people are
litterbugs
乱认垃圾的人
.
I think the government should
punish
those people who
drop litter
乱丢废物
,
and put
more
litter
bins
垃圾箱
around the city.
--To
be
honest,
no
.
Local
history
is
not
taught
at
school
in
my
country. We
only
learn
the
national
history and a bit of
world
history at school. But
I think it
’
s
necessary
for local schools
to introduce local history into their
curriculum
课程
,
because I think it would be a
shame
羞愧
if you
didn
’
t
know
anything
about the
history of your home city.
3. Your major
?
What’s your
major? =What subject do/did you study at
uni
versity?
?
Is it popular
in your country? Or: How popular is it in your
country?
--
大家想想一
个专业火不火的最直接体现是什么。
?
Why did you
choose the subject/major?
-
-
不要老是我爸妈怎么着,还得说说你自己在选择这个专业时的想法。
< br>
?
Do you like
it? (Why?)
--
这个问
题问的是,在你学习这个专业的过程中,你是否很享受,还是觉得上了贼船了?
?
Do you think
i
t’s important to choose a major you
like?
--
当然,兴趣是最好的老师。
?
Do you think
it’s got a good future?
2
?
Or: Do you think it can help you find a
good job in the future?
?
Or: Do you think it will be easy to
find a job when you graduate?
< br>--
考察你对将来时态的运用。好找工作
+
为什么?不好找
+
为什么?
参考:
--My major is/was International
Business.
--Yes, it
is
. In my class
alone
, there are 40
students. And there are about
300
students studying
this major in my department. And as I
know, many
universities have this
major. I think the
main
reason why
so many
students
choose the major is because
it
’
s got a
good
future
. I
mean, as China
does business with
more and
more
foreign countries,
professionals
in the
field of
international
business
will be in
great
demand
.
--I
chose
the
major
because
I
like
it.
You
see,
my
ambition
is
to
be
a
successful
businessman/woman.
And also
my parents were very
supportive
of me.
--Yes, I
do
. And What I like
most
about my course is the
case study. It
’
s
so
interesting
to study
why
some companies are so
successful
and
why
others
fail
. And
also
from the case study,
I get to learn some basic
principles
of corporate
management, which I think will be
useful
to
me when I have my
own
business in the
future
.
--
Absolutely
,
like they say,
interest
is
the
best
teacher. If a
student
enjoys
what
he
’
s studying,
he
will have a
strong desire
to
learn
more
and the
motivation
to work
harder
. This is
vital
至关重要的
if
you
want
to
get
the
most
out
of
your 4
years
at
university.
(I
’
ve
seen
some
students wasting all 4 years on
computer games just because they
don
’
t like their major and
they cannot change it.)
4. Sport
?
What sport did
you like to do in your childhood?
--
还能想得起来不?(考察过去时)
?
Do you do any
sport?
?
Or: What
sport do you like?
--
这个问题,还可
能是接着第一个问题问你:
Do you still like the same
sport?
你要想想你为
什么喜欢这个运动?
?
In the future,
when you have children, what sport would you like
them to learn/do?
--
考察将来时。我又
没孩子,我咋知道?你可以想象嘛。其实关键不是要让孩子做某项运动,
只要他们爱运动
就好。
?
What do you think is the difference
between the sports boys and girld do?
--
考察同类比较的能力。一定要用上连接词
< br>whereas/while.
参考:
--Actually, I cannot
remember
clearly
what sport
I did in my
childhood
, I can
only
remember I
played pingpong a lot when I was in
primary school. There were a few
pingpong table
s in the
playground
. We liked to play
it during the
breaktime
or
after
school.
--Yes, I
do
. I love basketabll;
It’
s my
passion
, and
I’
m
crazy
about
NBA
games. When I was in
high school/university
, I
used to play it
whenever
I
could, but
now
I
don
’
t play it
much
. I just
3
get
lazy
after I leave school/university, and
now I spend
more
time on the
computer
. But I still
follow
NBA games.
--No, I
don
’
t
.
To be
honest
, I hardly
ever
do
any
sport
now
, because
I’
m very
busy
with my
English
study. And
it
’
s really
tiring
, with
so
many classes to take and
so
much homework to
do. So, when I have time, I prefer to
catch up on some
sleep
or
watch a good
film
to help me
wind
down
and
relax
.
--Well,
I’
m
not
sure,
but
I
don
’
t
think
I
will
require
them
to
learn
a
certain
sport.
It
’
s
up
to
themselves
what
sport to do, but I will
encourage
them to go
out
and get
more
exercise
. I
would
n
’
t
like them to
stay
home all
day watching
TV
or
playing
on the
computer
.
It
’
s
not
good
for their
growth
.
--It
seems
to
me
that
boys
prefer
to
do
sports
that
are
more
exciting,
energetic
and
competitive
like
basketball
and
football
,
whereas
girls
are
more
into
something
that
’
s
light
and
not
so
tiring
, such
as
yoga
,
jogging
and
swimming
.
5. Travel
?
Do
you like travelling?
--
当然,顺便
说一下
travelling
的好处。
?
What places do
you like travelling to?
--<
/p>
旅行目的地大致可以分为:风光秀丽的地方(山,河,湖,海)
,
历史古迹,城市等。
?
Do you prefer to travel alone or with
others?
--Travel with others
好说些,因为可以从消除旅途寂寞,彼此照顾,分享快乐等方面说说原
因。如果你真喜
欢一个人的话可以用用这个结构(
If I had the choice,
I’
d
rather
…
)
.
然后
说说理由,同时不要忘了承认一下
travel
alone
的弊端。
?
Did you leave
the city last holiday?
--
实话实说,也可以
tell a
white lie.
关键是要说清楚上个假期你都干嘛了。
(建议大家准备一
个旅行的故事,在后面谈假期的时候也可以说说)
。
?
Where do you want to go next time?
--
就把你一直想去但都没去得了的
地方说说就行。
--
Yes, I
do
, very
much
. Ttravelling is
the
best
way to get
away
from it all, you know.
--Well,
actually, I like
all
beautiful
and
exciting
places, but I have
to say
I’
ve got a
preference
for
gorgeous
natural
places. you see,
I’
m a
nature
lover
, so when I go travelling, I
usually
choose
places like
mountains, rivers,
lakes
and
forest
parks
. And when
I’
m
in
such a place,
amiring
the
wonderful
view
, listening to
pleasant sounds
from the
nature,
breathing
clean
and
fresh
air
, and taking
pictures
, I feel so good,
and it
’
s
really
one of the
biggest
joy
s in
life
.
--Yes, I
did
. The
last
holiday was the
May Day
holiday when we had
2
days
off,
so my parents
and
I,
we
drove
to
a
beautiful
lake
in
the
coutryside
with
my
parents
.
It
was
really
a
wonderful
place.
The
most exciting
thing I
did was
riding
the
motorboat
(with my
father). It
was just
fantastic.
Another
enjoyable
thing I did
was
lying
on a
rock
chair on the
bank
of
the lake,
with the warm sunshine
all over
me
, and the
breeze
, wow, it was just
heaven
.

6. Films
?
What kind of films did you like to
watch in your childhood?
--
考
察过去时。这和那个问你小时候喜欢什么运动是类似的问题。
?
What about now?
?
Or:
Do you (still) like the same kind of films now?
--
可能你仍然喜欢看小时候的电影
,
请你准备好解释为什么。
或者你就说我不怎么看了,
转而
说你现在喜欢看什么电影,并解释为什么喜欢这类电影。
?
Do you
prefer to watch films at home or in the cinema?
p>
--
考察同类比较能力,同时考察谈论利弊的能力。
?
Do you
prefer to go alone or with others?
--
实话是说了。
想想有没有想一个人看电影
的时候?还有你想找人一起去看电影的时候,
你最
先想到的是谁
呢?
?
Why do people watch films?
-
-
原因有很多了,但好像多数人看电影要么是为了消磨时间,要么就是为了放松。
?
Do the
reasons change from children to adults?
--
应该是有所不同的。
小孩看电影更多是因为好玩儿,
p>
而成人看电影的原因可能多一些,
比如,
想
和你心爱的人一起去看电影,浪漫一下,嘿嘿。
--Well, like other children, I loved to
wach
cartoons
when I was a
child, especially
Japanese
cartoons, like Astro Boy(
铁臂阿
童木
)
,
Crayon Shin-c
han(
蜡笔小新
)
,
sakura momoko(
樱桃小
丸子
)
,
Aladdin(
阿
拉丁)
,
Doraemon (
机器猫
)
,
Smart Ikkyu san
(
聪明的一休
)
,
Dragon Ball(
七
龙珠
)
,
Saint
Seiya
(
圣斗士
)
,
Robotech(
太空堡垒
)
,
Fist
of
the
North
Star
(
北斗神拳
)
,
City
Hunter(
城市猎人
)
,
Slam
Dunk(
灌篮高手
)
,
Detective <
/p>
Conan(
柯南
)
,
Naruto(
火影忍者
)
p>
,
One
Piece(
< br>海贼王
)
,
Hikaru No
Go(
棋魂
)
,
Captain Tsubasa(
足球小将
)
,
Legend of Galactic Heroes(
银
河英雄传
)
,
Eva(
新世纪福音战士
). They kept
me
company throughout
my
childhood,
giving
me
lots
of
fun
and
sweet
memories
.
--Yes, I
do
, but
I
rarely
watch them now,
because now
I’
ve
got
so
many more choices.
You
know, there are
thousands
of films I can watch on the
Internet. And now I watch basically
everything
, as long as
it
’
s good. And what I watch
most
these days is American
films
and
TV
drama
.
--
Definitely
,
going
to
the
cinema
.
If
I
had
the
choice
,
I
would
always
go
to
the
cinema,
because you know,
films are
made
to be
watched
in the
cinema
so
only
in the
cinema
can
you
get the
best audio&visual
effects. The
small
computer
screen
just
doesn
’
t
compare
with the
big film screen
.
--Well, I think I prefer
watching films at
home.
The
main
reason is that
it
’
s
more
convenient
.
You know, you
don
’
t
need to worry about the
transpor
t, the
weather
or the
ticket
. As well as
that
, you can
pause
the film
whenever
you want, to
answer
a
phone
call
or get something
to
drink
, but you
can
not
do
that
in the
cinema
.
--I prefer to go with my
friends
. Actually,
I’
ve
never
been to the cinema
alone
. For me,
it
’
s kind
of
weird
. It would make me feel
like
pathetic
about myself.
Hey, I can
not
even get
anyone
to
go to
the
cinema
with me. That
would be
so bad
. Anyway, I
think going to the
movies
is
definitely
a
social
thing. And going with
someone is
more fun
as
well
.
5
--I think
people watch films for a
variety
of reasons.
One
is to kill
tim
e when you feel
bored
, like
during a
long
flight
or a
long train
journey
.
Another
is to wind
down
and
relax
.
Catching
a
great
film
is
one
of
the
best
ways
to
escape
the
reality
for
a
while
,
you
know.
And
sometimes
, we watch films
for a
social
reason. Like
after having a meal with your friends,
one of them says
”
hey guys, do you wanna go watch the
latest hit film
, blabla, and then you
all
agree and go the cinema
together
.
--Well,
I’
m
not
sure,
but
I
guess
so
.
It
seems
to
me
that
children
watch
films
usually
just
because of
the
fun
, but for
adutls
,
the
reasons
could
be
various
.
Um, for
example
,
they
could watch a film because they get
tired
in the
middle
of work, and need to
do
something to
relax
, and a
couple
goes to the cinema
together maybe
just
because
they want to spend
some time together
romantically, yeah.
You
know, the cinema is a
great
place for
dating
.
7. Hometown
(Version 2)
?
Do you live in
a big city or a small one?
--
一般像直辖市或这首府城市是大城市,
还有一些中型城市,
剩
下的基本都是小城市了,
或小
县城了。
?
How long have
you been there?
--
考察你的时态。
?
Do you like
living there? Why?
--
请大家用上这个结构:
What
I love most about the city is definitely
the
…
?
Is it more
suitable for young people or older people to live
in?
--
这主要看生活方式,以及休闲设施,气候等方面。
?
What interesting places are there in
your city?
--
想想你们那里有什么景点没有;城
里?郊外?
--I live
in a big city, the capital city of Shanxi
province. It
’
s got a
population of about
8
million.
--I
live in a medium-sized city, named___________.
It
’
s got a population of
about__________.
--I live in Beijing,
one of the
biggest
cities in
China
and the
world
!
--I
’
ve been
living here/there since I was
born
, almost
20
years!
--Well, to tell you the
truth
, I
don
’
t
like living
here
.
Firs
t,
it
’
s
too
big
, so it takes
ages
to go from
one
place to
anothe
r, and if you
get
stuck
in a traffic
jam
,
it
’
s gonna take you
forever
. And
second
,
I
don’
t like the
weather
here, which is just
too dry,
and because it's
dry
, when
it
’
s
windy
, it gets very
dusty
,
really
awful
. And one
more
thing, there are
just
too many people
here,
30
million
!
Imagine
that!
Wherever
you
go,
there
are
big
crowds
,
and
buses
and
subway
trains
are
always
packed
,
horrible
!
--Yes, I love living here/there.
I
’
m
fond
of
everything
here, the
climate
, the
foods
, the
way
of
life
and the
people
. And
I’
ve got my
family
and
so
many friends
here. After I
graduate
from
university in Australia, I will come
back
to my hometown. I just
love
it here!
--I think
it
’
s more suitable for
young
people. You see,
Beijing is
an
exciting
city, with lots of
opportunities,
and
it
’
s a
sleepless
city, with a
colorful/dynamic
night
life. Young people
love
that.
6
--I think it
’
s
more suitable for the
elderly
people. You see, the
way of life here is quite
relaxed
,
and the climate is
mild
,
pleasant
most
of the year. And
most
important of
all
, there is
not
much
pollution
in my hometown, so
I think it
’
s a
great
place for elderly
people to live.
--Well, there are
very
few
interesting places
in
the city, you know, just
shops, restaurants
, and
offices
, but there are some
interesting holiday
resorts
in the
suburbs
and
countryside
. One
of them is a
pick-your-
own
farm. It
’
s
also
a popular site for
picnic
, a
wonderful
place to
spend
the
weekend
with
your
family
or
friends
.
Another
place
is
an
artificia
l
lake,
surrounded
by
hills.
You can go
fishing
,
motorboating
,
swimming
, and
bungee-jumping
there.
And the
view
there
is
just
awesome
!
I
’
ve
been
to the
two
places
a
few
times
, and
always
have a
great
time.
8. Numbers
?
Do numbers have
any special meaning in your culture?
--
当然了,比如,
6,8,9,
2,250,520
?
What numbers do people in your country
generally prefer?
--
这个因人而已了,
不过多数人似乎都喜欢
6
或
8
,因为在汉语中,
6
表示顺利,
8
表示发财。
所以,一个像
139
,
888
,
888
,
888
的电话号码是非常贵的。
?
What numbers do
you think you should remember?
--
我觉得有很多号码都应该记在脑子里,比如手机号码,身份证号码,银行账户密码,还有重
要人物的生日等。
?
What number do you like?
?
Or: What’s your
lucky number?
--
如
果有,说说原因,如果没有,说说你身边的人。
?
Which do you
think is easier to remember, numbers or names?
--
我觉得名字好记点,因为可以借助人的相貌来记,你觉得呢?
p>
?
Or:
Is it easy for you to remember numbers or names?
?
Do you use any
special ways to remember numbers?
--
记数字的方法有很多,
最常见的是找其中的规律,
如果没有规律,
就只有一遍一遍的死记了?
--Yes, they
do
. Um, for
example,
6
is
symbol
of
everything
going
well
, and
8
is a symbol of
wealth
. And some numbers
have
negative
meanings, like
2 and 250, they both suggest the
meaning of
“
stupid
or
foolish
.
”
Another
interesting number
is
520
. It means
“
I love
you
”
.
--Well, as I know,
6
and
8
are of course two
favorites
with the Chinese
people, so a phone
number like 139 +8
eights, costs a
fortune
. And
besides them, we also like the number
9
.
The Chinese word for 9 is
jiu
, which sounds
the
same
as
another
Chinese word
“
久
”
,
which
means
“
for
ever
, or
infinite
.
”
--I think it
’
s
important to keep in
mind
numbers like your
phone
number, I
D
card number and
the
password
of
your bank
account
, just in
case
, you know. And I think
it
’
s
also
important to
remember the
birthday
s of the people you
love
, because remembering
one
’
s birthday is one
the
best
ways to
show that you really
care
about them.
--No,
I
don
’
t
have
one.
But my father
has
2
lukcy
numbers,
5
and
8
,
because
in
Chinese, 5
represents
me
and
8 symbolizes
wealth
, so 5
and 8 together suggest something like
“
I will
make a
lot
of
money.
”
I think
it
’
s kind of
superstitious
, but it seems
that
most
people are like
7
this
.
--Well,
that
’
s
difficult
to say, but for
me
,
it
’
s easier to
remember
names
.
I
’
m
never
good with
numbers
. I think names are
easier to remember because
it
’
s much
harder
to remember a
number
like
than
a
name
like
Mary.
And
also,
you
can
always
associate
a
name with a
person
, which makes it
easier
to remember it. For
example, you can associate
a
girl
’
s
name
with her
long hair
or
earring
, like
Mary
is the
long-
hair girl
and
Jane
is the
earring
girl.
--Um, if
I have to remember a
long
number, I usually
first
try
to find if it follows a
pattern
. If it
does
, like 614567893, then
it
’
s
easy
to remember, but if it
doesn't
,
I’
ll write it
down
in my
notebook, and have a
look
at it from
time
to
time
, until I learn it by
heart
.
9. Clothes
?
What kind/style of clothes do you like?
--
一般情况下,多数人都喜欢穿的休闲放松些,当然,前提是
这衣服得适合自己了,这主要是
颜色的搭配问题了。
?
Where do you
like to buy clothes?
--
商场,服装
店,网络等,别忘了发表一下你的个人感受。用上:
What
I
like
most
about
e-shopping
is
…
或者,
I think the
best thing of small clothes shops
is
…
等结构
?
Have you bought
any clothes that you don’t like?
--
有的话,就说说时间,地点,为什么买的,后来又怎么发现不喜欢了的;
如果没有的话,说
说原因,或者说说你知道的一个经常买完东西就后悔的人。
?
Do you
think you will like other clothes when you are
getting old?
--
考察将来时态。实话实说吧。
参考:
--My
favorite
style
is
definitely
casual
,
because
I
love
to
be
laid-back
and
comfy
.
And
of
course,
the
most
important
thing
is
that
what
I
wear
must
make
me
look
good
,
like
the
matching
of
colors,
and whether the
colors
suit
me or
not
.
--I
prefer
to
go
to
small
clothes
stores.
I
like
them
mainly
because
they
are
cheaper
than
department stores and shopping malls.
You see, I
’
m a
student,
so this is
very
important for
me. And,
another
great
thing of small shops is that I
can bargain over the prices, like I can
knock an
80
-dolloar jacket
down
to
40
dollars.
--Definitely,
e-
shops.
You
know,
there
are
so
many
great
e-shops
on
the
Internet,
like_____________, and
it
’
s so
easy
to buy clothes there.
You just need to
browse
through
the
pictures
,
find
the thing you
like,
order
it, and
it
’
s
done
, so
quick
!
Another
reason I love
e-shopping is of course because of
their
low
prices. So,
e-shopping saves
time
,
money
and
hassle
. I just
love
it. But I
don
’
t
mind going to the shops when I
have
time
.
It
’
s actually more
fun
than e-shopping.
--No,
never.
I
’
m
always
prudent
when
I
buy
clothes
in
order
to
avoid
getting
anything
that
doe
sn
’
t
really
suit
me, but my
girlfriend
can buy something
on
impulse
and then
regret
it.
8
--No, never. I know some people can buy
something on
impulse
and
then
regret
it, but
I
never
do that.
I
’
m always
prudent
when I buy clothes.
And I always
drag
my friend
with me so she
can give me some
advice
.
--I
’
m
not
sure
, but I
guess
so, because when
I’
m
50
years old,
you
won’
t catch me dressed like
a
15
-year-old
boy/girl. And I think our
taste
and
choice
for clothes
does
change with
age
. For
example,
when
we
are
young,
we
like
to
dress
fashionably
and
attractively,
you
know
to
impress
others,
but
when
we
are
old
,
we
are
more
likely
to
choose
something
that
’
s
comfortable
to wear, rather
than
fashionable
or
attractive.
10. Flowers
?
Do you like flowers?
--
男孩子们,不要犹豫。花儿不漂亮吗,你不喜欢花香吗。就算你对花儿无所谓,但你不得不
趁人花儿确实让我们的生活更美好了,
right?
?
Do
flowers have special meaning in your country?
--
当然了,可是我对此了解的不多
。我只知道
……
?
In your
country, do people give others flowers as gift?
p>
--
这是当然,想想都有什么场合呢,部分同学张口就是
festivals
,但想想中国的传统节日那个
是我们要送花儿的呢?
?
In which festivals will people give
flowers to others?
--
传统节日不送花
儿,都送啥呢?但有些年轻人过西方节日的时候会送花儿,那些节日呢?
--Flowers? well, I think I
can
take
it or
leave
it. I mean, I can
do
without
flowers in my
life. But, I
have to say flowers are
indeed
beautiful
and their
perfume
is very
nice
.
--Yes, I
do
. I
just
love
flowers. You know
how girls are
crazy
about
roses
! And besides roses, I
also
adore
lilies. I buy some lilies once a
week
and put them in the
vase
of my
living
room. I
really
love
their
perfume
. I really hope
I can buy a house with a
garden
in the future, where
I
can grow
all
the flowers I like. It would be so
nice
.
--
Sure
, they
do,
but I
don
’
t know
much
about that.
All
I
know is that
lotuses
are a
symbol of
purity
and
peonies
symbolize,
um,
wealth
and
honor
,
and,
ah,
lilies
,
they
symbolize
a
happy
and
lasting
marriage, so they are a
must
for
wedding
s.
--Yes, of
course
they
do
. For example, when we
visit someone in
hospital
,
we
’
re
supposed
to
bring
a bunch of
flowers
. And
flowers are also a popular gift for
birthday
s, and
mother
’
s day.
--Well, as I
know,
no
. On traditional
festivals, we
don
’
t
usually send
flowers
as
gifts. For
example,
on
spring
festival,
we
may
buy
clothes
,
cigarettes
or
wine
as
gifts,
or
just
give
money
. And
on
moon
festival, the
most
popular gifts are moon
cakes
. So, it seems that we
prefer to choose something
practical
as gifts on
festivals.
11.
Time management
?
Do you think
you’re a good manager of time?
?
Or: Are you
good at organizing/managing your time?
--
一定要举例说明。
?
What do you
think you can do to improve that?
9
--
想
想影响你的效率的最根本的问题是什么?
?
If you have
more free time, what will you do?
--
严格来讲,这个问题不属于本话题,应该是考官随机问的。
--No,
I’
m not. I often find myself
rush
ing to finish something
at the
last
minute, and it
seems
that
there
’
s
never
enough time in the day
to get
everything
done
, so I think
I’
m quite a
bad
manager of
time
.
-- Well,
actually
I’
m
not
very good at
time
management, but
I’
ve
always
tried my
best
to be
organized, effiecient and
punctual
.
Like, I used to
keep
forgetting my
appointments
with
my friends, and then I thought I should
do
something about it, and I
began to keep a
memo
of
all
the things I need to in
a
week
.
After
that, I
never
forget my appointments
again.
--Well,
I think my
biggest
problem
is that I lack self-
control
and I easily get
distracted
by
other
things. I know I
have a lot of
work
to do,
but I just
keep delaying
doing it, until when
there’
s
not
much time
left
. I
don
’
t know how to
solve
my problem (of
procrastination). Maybe I should
get
some
professional
advice.
--Well, I once asked one of
my
teachers
about
how
to solve the problem, he
gave me some
advice
, like I
should learn to set
goals
,
make
plans
and
prioritize
the things to do.
It was very
sensible
advice,
but I
know
my
biggest
problem
is
not
the lack of time
management
skill
s,
but
rather
, the
lack of self-
control
.
--Well, to tell
you the truth, if I have
more
free time, I will get
more
sleep
and go
out
with my
friend to have
fun
. I just
don
’
t like to study.
--Well,
If
I
have
more
free
time,
I
will
use
it
to
learn
something,
like
dancing
or
a
musical
instrument
. Speaking
of
that
,
I’
ve
always
wanted to be able to play
the
piano
. So, if I have
time,
I’
d like to take a
piano
class.
12. Colors
?
What’s your favorite color? (Why do you
like it/them?)
--
大家记住,
你喜欢的颜色并不一定是你喜欢穿的颜色,
比如很多
人都喜欢绿色,
但有几个人
经常穿绿色的衣服呢?一个人喜欢一
种颜色往往是因为视觉或感觉。
?
Will you wear clothes of the colors you
like?
--
其实这个话题考的
是你喜欢穿什么颜色的衣服,
你说呢?一定要加上原因,
就是你
穿上这种
颜色的感觉,或者这种颜色本身的好处,比如好搭配颜色等。
< br>
?
Will you
paint your room in the colors you like?
--
有想法就直接说了,说说原因,
也可以告诉考官这方面你不在行,得咨询一下。
?
What colors
have special meaning in your country?
--
多了,比如红,黄,黑
--Well,
I
prefer
cool
colors,
like
green
,
blue
and
white
.
I
like
green
cos
it
’
s
the
color
of
the
nature
, and
it
’
s a symbol of
hope
, and an
eco
-friendly lifestyle, and
it
’
s really
pleasnt
to the
eye
. I
also
love
blue
, just like I love a
blue
sky
and the blue
ocean
. They are so
beautiful, you
10
know. And I love white
simply
cos
it
’
s
simple
and
pure
.
--I
don
’
t
have any
green
clothes, but
I
do
have a blue jacket and
some
white
shirts/bouses
and a white
scarf
. You know,
liking
a color is
one
thing, but
wearing
it is quite
another
. And
I
think for the colors you wear, the
most
important thing is the
matching
. You have to make
sure
that
all
the
colors
you
wear
go
together
,
otherwise
you
would
make
youself
look
odd/weird
, you know.
And
another
important thing
is whether the colors
suit
you, especailly
whether it suits your
complexion
.
That
’
s
very
important.
--Yes,
I
will
paint
my
room
white,
or
put
white
wallpape
r
on
the
walls,
because
white
is
a
neutral
color, and it goes
well
with
most
other colors, so it will be
easier
for me choose the
other
items in my room, you
know the
curtain
,
furniture
,
bedspread
, and
closet
. I need to
make
sure
that
all
the colors in my room
look
nice
together and I
feel
comfortable
in it.
--Well,
actually,
many
colors
have
special
symbolic
meanings
in
our
culture.
Red
,
for
example,
um,
in
Chinese
culture,
red
is
a
jubilent
color,
so
you
will
see
it
in
all
kinds
of
celebrations
and
ceremonies
,
like
Spring
Festival,
when
the
streets
are
decorated
with
red
lanterns
and
doors
with
red
couplets
,
and
windows
with
red
paper
cuts
.
(And
another
interesting
color
is
yellow.
It
’
s
interesting
because
it
has
both
positve
and
negative
symbolic
meanings.
In
ancient
China,
it
was
the
color
for
emperors
only
,
symbolizing
paramount
power,
but
now,
you
can
see
the
yellow
color
everywhere.
And
besides
that, yellow gets
another
meaning:
pornography. I mean, in Chinese we call a
porn
film
“
yellow
”
, In
English, you call it
blue
,
right?)
13. Museums
?
Are there a lot of museums in your
country/city?
?
Or: Are there any famous museums in
your country/city?
?
Or: What kinds
of museums are popular in your city/country?
--
这三个问题都是询问在你的家乡
或在中国的博物馆的情况。
注意不要说:
There
have
…
或者
in my hometown
have
…
,
而要说:
In my hometown, there
is/are
…
?
Did you ever
visit any museums in your childhood?
<
/p>
--
实话实说吧,如果你小时候去过,那就把几个要素交代清楚就
行。如果没去过,交代一下原
因:小城市,没博物馆,谢谢。
(
国外在
19
世纪就有博物馆了,中国建博物馆只是
20
世纪中
后期的事儿了)
?
When was the
last time you went to the museum?
--
也许就是小时候那次?哈哈
?
Do you often
visit museums?
--
对不起,不去,不感兴趣
,我对那些静止的,老得掉渣的东西不感冒,有时间我情愿去
……
再说了,我们那里也没什么有意思的博物馆。
?
What kind of
museums do you like?
--
如果你跟考官说你不喜欢博物馆的话,
你就不会被问到这个问题了。
p>
如果你喜欢去,
那你喜
欢哪类博物馆呢,是
电影还是艺术博物馆,还是别的,为什么呢)?
11
?
Do you think museums are important?
--
如果你不喜欢,也要承认博物馆的重要性:保存重要的历史文物,
供人们了解和学习。
?
Should museums charge visitors?
--
我觉得公立博物馆不应该收费,
但私立的就没办法了。
?
Do you think it’s good to sell things
to visitors in museums?
?
Or:
Many museums sell things to vistors. Do
you think it’s
right?
--
我没看出有什么不对的,只要不
强卖就行。
--Well,
you may find this
hard
to
believe
, but there is
no
museum in my hometown.
It
’
s a
young
industrial
city, with a
history of
only
about
40
years, so I
didn't
visit any museum when
I was
a
child
.
--Certainly.
in China, there are lots of
museums, but
I’
ve
never
been to
any
of them. It
’
s a
shame
, but
it
’
s
true
. I
’
m just
not
into it.
--In my hometown, there is
only
a very small museum
about the history of my hometown.
It
’
s a
very
old
building. I went there
once
when I was a
child
, on a trip organized
by the
school
, but
I
didn
’
t
like
it there. It
was
a
dead
place,
and
we
were
not
allowed to
talk
aloud
or
touch
anything there. It was
so
boring,
so I
never
went
back
there
again.
--I
’
ve
been
to
some
of
the
great
museums
in
China.
For
example,
the
history
museum
of
China
and the
Palace
museum in
Beijing
, as well as the
Musuem of
Terri-Cotta
warriors
in
Xi
’
an, Shanxi
province. I saw a lot of
precious
historical
relics
in those musuems, but
actually
I
didn't
really
enjoy
my
visit
there,
because it was not much
fun
. You know, it was just a
cursory
visit, and I
wasn
’
t
very much
into
those old
stuff.
--Well,
I’
m not a
musuem
-goer, but I
have
to say that museums are
important
, because we
need
places to
keep
and
display
those
precious historical
things,
where people can
go
and
learn
about
history
if
they
want
to.
And
I
think
visiting
a
good
museum
should
be
more
interesting
than reading a
history
book
.
--Um, I think if it's a
public
museum, they
< br>shouldn
’
t
charge the vistors the
admission
(fee),
because
it
’
s
publicly
funded, but if
it
’
s
private
one, I think we
should
pay
to visit it
because it
’
s
privately
funded.
--Well,
I
don
’
t
see
anything
wrong
with
that,
as
long
as
they
don
’
t
force
the
visitors
to
buy
anything.
And
actually,
when
we
visit
a
musuem,
we
often
want
to
buy
something
as
a
souvenir,
or
we
may
get
thirsty
and
want
to
get
something
to
drink
,
so
I
think
it
actually
makes things
easier
for the visitors.
However, I
don
’
t
think it
’
s a
good
idea to have a
shop
in
the
museum,
because
it
just
doesn
’
t
belong
there.
It
should
be
somewhere
outside
the
museum.
14. Housework
?
Do you often do
the housework?
--
实话实说,但不要忘了展
示你关于
housework
的词汇。
?
What housework
do you like to do?
--
这句话其实是接着“
Yes, I
do
”
.
这个答案往下问的。
12
?
Did you do any housework in your
childhood?
--
没什么目的,就是考你的过去式
,
did, didn't do, helped, used to, made me do sth,
washed,
cleaned
……
?
Do you think
children should help with the housework?
--
答案是显而易见的,那么,孩子究竟为什么应该帮助父母做家务呢,还有,孩子
这样做对们
有什么好处,而现实情况又是什么呢(就是中国家长对待孩子做家务的态度)
--
Honestly
,
no
.
I
just
don
’
t
need
to
do
it
because
my
mum
does
everything
at
home.
Sometimes, I want to
give her a
hand
, but she
says
no
. I know why she
doesn
’
t want me to
help her. She knows I will just a make
a
mess
of
everything
or I may
break
something, hehe.
--Well, I
didn
p>
’
t
. My mum just
didn't
let
me. She used to
just
keep
telling me to
study, study,
and
study,
or go and practice
the
piano
. On
one
hand, I was
happy
not
having
to do any
housework, but on the
other
hand, I
didn
’
t like to
study
either
, so I usually
ended up
reading
a
comic
book. I
locked
the door from
inside
, so when my mum came
to
check
, I had the time
to
hide
the book.
Hehe.
--Um,
now, speaking of
that
,
yes
, I think
so
, although I
don
’
t
like to do the housework. You
know,
if
a
child
often
helps
around
the
house
,
they
will
learn
some
useful
life
skills
,
and
become more
independent
. This is really
helpful
when they grow
up
and start to live
alone
.
And
also,
I
think
helping
with
the
housework
will
make
a
child
understand
what
their
parents do
for them, and become
grateful
to them. Yeah. So,
I think parents
really
should
encourage
their
children to
do
the
housework
, you know, to do
what they
can
do(
停顿
) to
help
around the
house
.
--
Yes, I
love
doing the housework, because I love to
see my house
clean
and
tidy
. And I will
feel
comfortable
in it. I just cannot
stand
it if my home is
dirty
and
messy
. Maybe for
some
people,
the
household
chores
are
a
kind
of
burden
,
but
for
me,
they
are
not
.
Doing
the
housework
is
a
kind
of
relaxation
for
me,
just
like
watching
a
film
or
playing
computer
games
.

Outdoor activities
?
Do people in
your country like to do outdoor activities?
--
这个,呃
…
,很难说了,一方面现在的人呆在家里的时间比以前多了,另一方面,人们又渴
p>
望出去活动。总的来讲,年轻人呆在室内的时间多些,而年纪大一些的人更喜欢出去遛弯儿。
?
Or:
Do people in China prefer to stay home or go
outdoors?
?
Do you like outdoor activities?
--
当然。我是个户外型的人;或者
我就是个宅男
/
女。请举例说明。
?
What outdoor
activities do you like to participate in?
--
列举一个你最喜欢的,然后再加
一个你比较喜欢的。
?
What is the advantage/benefit of
outdoor activities compared with indoor ones?
--
户外活动最大的好处就是身体能得到锻炼,能呼吸新鲜空气(在郊区
或农村)
,心情也舒畅
些。对少年儿童来讲,户外活动的好处会
更多。想想。
13
--
Yeah
, I think
so, because I often see people
walking
or doing
exercise
or
playing
with their
pets
in the
neighborhood
or in the
park
, but it seems that
most
of them are
older
people
and
children
. So, I guess,
young
people prefer to stay
at
home
and play on the
computer
or watch
T
V
instead of going
out
.
--
Me
?
Um,
yes
,
I
do
.
In
my
free
time,
I
like
to
go
shopping
with
my
girlfriends.
And
if
it
’
s
weekend
or
holiday
, I love to go
hiking
in the
mountains
or
picnicing
in the
countryside
because I like
to be in a
quiet
and
natural
place, and get
away
from the
busy,
noisy
and
stressful
city life.
It
’
s really
relaxing
and
refreshing
.
--Not
much
,
actually.
I
prefer
to
stay
home
,
watching
T
V
,
surfing
the
internet
,
or
reading
a
book
. I just
don
’
t like to go
out, because it
’
s so
dirty
and
noisy
outside, you know,
with the
air
pollution
, heavy
traffic
and big
crowds
everywhere, but I
wouldn
’
t
mind go travelling to
some
beautiful
natural
places when I have the
time
, like during a
holiday.
For example, this
May
Day holiday, I went for
a
picnic
with my friends in
the countryside. We had a
great
time
together.
--I think
compared with
indoor
activities, the
greatest/best
thing of
outdoor activities is that you
get more
exercise
, like when
you
’
re playing
basketball
outside
o
r
hiking
in the
mountains,
but if you stay
home
,
sitting
in
front of the TV or computer
screen
, you get no exercise at
all
,
so
I
think
doing
outdoor
activities
is
generally
better
for
physical
health
than
indoor
activities.
--Well,
I’
m not
sure
, because
different
people may have
different preferences
for
outdoor
activities.
For
example,
some
people may
prefer to
go
hiking
or
camping
,
whereas
others
may like to try some
adventure/risky
sports such
as white
water
rafting,
bungee
jumping or
sky
diving, or, some
older
people probably enjoy
fishing
or
gardening,
so
it
’
s really
hard
to
say what
outdoor activities are
most
popular.
16. Collection
?
Do you like to
collect anything?
--
如果你收藏什么东
西,就加上你收藏多久了,有多少藏品,有什么特别的藏品吗,为什么喜
欢收藏这个东西
。如果没有,实话实说,然后说说为什么。
(是不喜欢收藏,还是想收藏某个
东西,但是没钱呢?)
?
What about in
your childhood? Did you collecting anything?
--
思路同上。
?
What do Chinese
people usually collect? (Why?)
--
那就多了,
不过好像他们特喜欢收藏名人字画,
皇家
瓷器或者古代的家具什么的,
收藏邮票
14
的人也特别多,好像还有收藏钱币的。至于原因吗,我觉
得一个可能就是喜欢这东西,还有
就是这东西特值钱,很有收藏价值,也就是将来会升值
,然后转手一卖,能赚很多钱,所以
这也是一种很好的投资。
?
If you had a
lot of money, would you like to collect anything?
--
这倒没想过。我现在对收藏不感兴趣,不过也许等我将来有
钱了,我会收藏玉器,因为我听
说中国的玉石资源快枯竭了,所以将来玉器肯定很抢手。
--
No, I
don
’
t
,
but I have some friends who have
collections
. Like a friend
of mine is a
huge fan
of a
singer
from
Taiwan
, and he has a
big
collection of his
CDs
and
posters
. Another friend
collects
tickets
of
movies
her
boyfriend
and
she
go
see
together,
and
reciepts
of
all
the
places they go, like
restaurants
,
musuems
or
shopping malls
. I once asked
her
why
she did
that. She told me that she was
not
collecting the
ticket
s or
receipts
, she was collecting
their
memories
.
It
’
s really
sweet
,
isn
’
t it?
--Yes, I love collecting
women
’
s
hats
. And
I
’
ve got about
30
of them in my
closet
. I love
buying
hats and
wearing
them.
All
my friends know
that I love hats, so they sometimes buy a hat for
me as a
gift
for
my
birthday
or something.
--Yes, I
did
. I remember I used to
have a
big
colletion of
cartoon
pictures
and
figures
because
I
was
crazy
about
cartoons
when
I
was
a
child.
It
was
like
a
fashion
in
my
childhood.
I
rememer a
lot
of
my classmates
liked
to
collect things about
cartoon
.
--Well,
I’
m not
sure
, because
different
people may prefer
to collect
different
things.
Like I just
said
/mentioned
above
,
I
have
some
friends
who
have
collections
,
but
they
collect
very
different
things. And I
think the reasons why people collect things are
also
various
. It may be
simply
out of
love
for something, or because they
love a certain
artist
, so
they collect his or
her
works
. And of course some people
collect
certain
things as an
investment
, but they are
usually
rich
people.
--
Defintely
clothes.
I
would
buy
l
ots
of
famous
-brand
clothes,
and
I
would
have
a
very
big
walk
-in closet for them at
home. If I had
lots
of
outfits, I could wear something different
every
day.
It
’
s
really
my
dream
.
You
know,
every
time
I
go
shopping
and
see
those
gorgeous
clothes but I cannot
afford
to buy them, I feel
very
upset
, so I really wish
I could buy
any
clothes I
like in the future, no matter how
much
it costs.
