SPEAKING SECTION

 

Task 1

Which skill do you want to learn and admire most, sports, language or arts?

Sample response

I prefer to learn a foreign language. According to the U.S. Census Bureau figures from 2000 show that the number of bilingual or multilingual people in this country has doubled for nearly 50 million over the past twenty years. It's a fad or trend that shows no signs of slowing. Besides, as the world shrinks and countries become increasingly interdependent, cultural and language experts predict that within the next twenty years it will be necessary for everyone to speak a second, or even a third language. This is an area where the U.S. lacks behind in other parts of the world. Western Europeans for example, are often fluent in two or more languages. All in all, learning a foreign language can help me to find a decent job with a high salary.

 

Task 2

Will you Invite many people to celebrate a birthday or festival or not?

Sample response

So far as I am concerned, I prefer to celebrate a birthday or festival with many friends. First of all, it seems that all of us are not strong enough to overcome every problem, so we should celebrate a birthday or festival with others. In modern society, the knowledge is much more than 100 years ago. Nobody can master everything in the world, but a group of people can master everything they need. One person cannot do everything. Second, there is a lot of old proverbs and one is that many hands make light work. According to this proverb, we need to work in groups to prepare a festival. In order to succeed in doing something, we also need to be helped by someone else. However, in many cases, people who usually celebrate a festival alone often get depressed and aren’t as happy as the ones celebrate with others.

 

Task 3

【提议】:图书馆应该在期末考试期间24hr开放,图书馆是唯一期末考试不延长开放的,费用问题可以解决。

【学生议论】:男生不同意

理由一:不能鼓励学生熬夜。

理由二:很多学生需要图书馆,所以不能收费。

Sample response

The letter suggests that school library should 24 hours open at the end of the semester. The library is the only campus facility that without extended hour at the end of the semester. Although the suggestion may cause extra money, all the students on campus could share it. However, the male student doesn’t agree with the letter. There are two chief reasons. First, the suggestion that library should 24 hours open may encourage students to stay up late. Besides, many students need to take advantage of the library, therefore, the campus shouldn’t charge the fee of using library.

 

Task 4

【名词解释】:False-cause error:一个人在考虑自己做错事是由于什么原因的时候,往往忽略掉第一件事,而认为原因是由于第二件。

【教授举例】:他有一辆破车,然后有一天开车出去发现车开始有怪声音,然后他开始回忆为什么会这样,他想到两天前把车借给一个朋友了,虽然那朋友开车很小心,但是他觉得是他朋友给弄坏的,事实上,他的车已经开够里程了,本来就是坏的。

Sample response

False-cause error: people always ignore the first factor which causes him to miss the ball. As a result they always consider the second factor is the culprit. The professor gives an example. He has a car and one day he found the car had funny noise when he was driving. Then he wondered why this would happen. Something occurred to him that the day before yesterday, he lent the car to a friend. Although his friend was very careful about the car, the professor considered that it was his friend that broke his car. in fact the car  has enough mileage.

 

Task 5

【学生困难】:女生需要画一张肖像画作业,室友是模特,但室友在半途突然需要离开。

【解决方案】:

方案一:和教授说延长一个礼拜

评价:但是下礼拜她要考生物,没时间。

方案二:找其他学生

评价:但是其他学生下周是父母探亲日,大家都去见爸妈。

Sample response

The female student needs to draw a portraiture as an assignment. Her roommate play the role of a model, however, her roommate had to leave halfway. She has two solutions. First, she can negotiate with her professor to postpone. However, she has an examination to take next week and although her roommate is available, she has no time to draw the picture. Also she can find other students to be the model, but next week students will spend time with their parents because of their visit. I think she should choose the first solution. Although she has to take examination next week, she can work hard to overcome the obstacle. She can finish the assignment and prepare the exam.
