SPEAKING SECTION

 

Task 1

Which of the following jobs do you think is the most challenging, doctor, policeman or
government official? Give specific reasons and details in your answer.

Sample response

I think being a policeman is the most challenging for the following reasons. First, being a
policeman means you will be dealing with difficult people all the time. A police officer is in close
contact with criminals on daily basis. That could be pretty stressful even dangerous. Second, 
being a policeman also means you can't have a regular schedule. My uncle used to be a
policeman. He was ready to report to duty all the time, and it didn’t matter if it was the weekend or
right in the night. When he got beeped, he had to be on his way to the station right away.

 

Task 2

Some people enjoy indoor activities that are not every intensive, others prefer to do outdoor
activities that are more challenging. Which do you prefer? Explain why.

Sample response

I prefer to do indoor sports for the following reasons. First of all, working out in the gym
means I can exercise regardless of the weather. For example, it doesn't matter how hard it snows
or rains. I can still have fun playing badminton with my friends. During summer days that are
crazy hot, we can exercise without getting sun burnt indoors. Second, indoor activities are less
intensive. That mean we don't get injured that easily comparing to doing outdoor sports like
skiing or snowboarding. Indoor sports like yoga are more soothing, or relaxing.

 

Task 3

【提议】The university is going to show student artists' artworks in dormitory

【学生议论】Woman agrees

理由1art students paint a lot every semester but there's only 1 or 2 exhibitions in the
art department building so they only get to show some artworks

理由2students can buy artworks to decorate the dorms, posters can be really boring.

Sample response

In the reading passage, we get to know that The university is going to show student artists' artworks in dormitory. The woman agrees with the acquirement because first, art students paint a lot every semester but there's only 1 or 2 exhibitions in the
art department building so they only get to show some artworks. Besides, it's a good opportunity for students to sell some artworks. Students can buy artworks to decorate the dorms, and posters can be really boring.

 

Task 4

【名词解释】availability error, a person experienced an event that made a strong impression,
the person tend to think it will happen again.

【教授举例】教授和妻子去旅游但遇上雨天所以不尽兴。当教授第二次决定故地重游时,妻子就一直认为那里会下雨。

Sample response

Availability error means a person experienced an event that made a strong impression,
the person tend to think it will happen again.

The professor and his wife went on a vacation to an island, everything was
beautiful when they just got there and they expected to have much fun, but the second day there
was a storm and it kept raining, so in the end they went back feeling disappointed. Later the
professor wanted to go there again on a vacation but his wife didn't want to because she kept thinking it was going to rain again even though the professor already checked that it hardly rained
on the island

 

Task 5

【学生困难】The woman left her art history notes on the train and she has to take the exam the
next Friday

方案一:借笔记

 评价:女生从没借过笔记,怕对考试有不好影响

方案二:晚上去上课

 评价:晚上答应去同学的音乐会,会冲突

Sample response

The girl has encountered a problem that she left her art history notes on the train and she has to take the exam the
next Friday. The first is to borrow the notes from her friend in the class. Another one is to take the class tonight. Personally, I recommend the second solution. Because first, she can know exactly the content of the class which will definitely be beneficial to her exam. And second, she has never borrowed others' notes before, and it’s unsure that how much it can help, 
and it might have a negative impact on the exam.
