Reexamination
1.Would you like to say something about your university?
Sure. I would graduate from Qufu Normal University in June. It’s a normal university with a history of 58 years. Its old campus is located in the hometown of the great ancient educationist “Confucious” and the new one was set up in 2002 in Rizhao, a beatiful seaside city in Shandong province.
Professors and teachers there are tireless in teaching and the students have an insatiable desire to learn. Looking back on the years I have spent there, I am really thankful to her for enriching my knowledge and widening my view. What’s more, the scenery of spring there was very beautiful and the sakura and magnolia is in full blossom, welcome to my mother university and I am glad to be your guide. Thanks!
2. Why do you choose to study in our university?
Firstly, I like Nanjing very much. I’v been here twice as a tourist and I was deeply impressed by both the scenic spots and the friendly people here.
Secondly, I know that great Chinese modern educationists like Tao Xingzhi and Chen Heqin once gave lectures here. They made great contributions to our nation’s education and also set good examples for those who want to be a teacher in the future, such as me.
Most importantly, what attracts me most was the academic and scholarly atmosphere here. There are so many excellent professors and teachers who have strong research abilities that I would feel it a great honor to enjoy your teaching.
That’s why I choose to further my study here. Thank you!
Tao Xingzhi was a modern educationist.
In 1927, he founded the world-famous Morning Village (Xiaozhuang) Normal School, which was designed not only to train rural teachers in his philosophy, but also to become the center of all political, social and economic activities in an effort to renew the village itself. The experiment was a success, resulting in the improvement of production, living standards, education, economics and security.
He believed that school must be closely connected to society and that education is an active, constructive process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and be ing told. Instead of “school as society,” Tao looked at “society as school”; instead of “education as life,” he saw “life as education’’; and, instead of “learning by doing,” he proposed “unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting.”
In 1937, he founded the renowned Y ucai School.
Tao Xingzhi spent his whole life promoting mass education. His teaching slogan is that “educators can teach himself from teaching and obtain knowledge from his labor”.
Chen Heqin was a modern educationist and he is also the founder of children pedagogy in China. After graduating from Columbia University, he return to China and began to give lessons in Nanjing Normal University.
In 1923, he founded Nanjing Gulou kingdergaten and carried on his experiment on early childhood education.
His greatest contribution lies in the theory of “active education”, which consists of 3 main parts, they are the teleology（目的论）, curriculum theory（课程论）and teaching methodology（教学论）. He emphasizes that “one
should be a real man, be Chinese and be modern Chinese.””The nature and the society are both active textbooks”and “students should learn by doing”.
3. How are you benefited at your university?
I do benefit a lot at my mother university.
Firstly, I feel appreciated to have good teachers who not only devoted themselves to teaching us knowledge but also made friends with us. Secondly, I feel fortunate to have several close friends on campus with whom I share my happiness and sorrows. Thirdly, the campus activities were so interesting that I often involve myself in them, which gave me wide room to develop the abilities of cooperation, competition and creativity.
In a word, I do benefit a lot at my university.
4. Could you sum up your study habits in your university in a few points?
Thank you for your question. I think there are 3 points about my study habits.
Firstly, I live a regular life. At school days, I go to bed at 11pm and get up at 7am. This habit makes me energetic. Secondly, I study and work efficiently, do the most important things first and leave the rest if I have to. Thirdly, my heath is vital. I spend an hour jogging with friends every afternoon and this really makes me a healthy person.
5. Tell us something about your major in the university.
Thank you for your question. I major in English in my university and I took a great many courses,such as intensive reading, extensive reading, interpretation, teaching methodology and so on. Among all these courses, my favourite one is teaching methodology. Through this course, I began to learn how to be a qualified English teacher and fortunately I spent a month in my high school to do teaching practice. I indeed learned a lot from that experience, and I know clearly in order to be a professional English teacher I still have a long way to go. So I screwed up my courage and come here, I hope I can be lucky enough to be a graduate student here. Thank you!
6. Do you think a university education equals a successful future.
Thanks for your question. But I don’t really think so. Definitely, a university education is a basic requirement for us to compete in the society. But we should also realize that the knowledge we learn in university is mostly theoretical. Before we put it into practice, we will never know whether it will work or not. Therefore,it’s better to say that a university education is a precondition for a successful future. Thanks.
7. What is the most important skill you have acquired at college?
Thank you for your question. I think it’s the communication skill. We know that different people have different personalities, so how to get along with various kinds of people is really a great matter. Through the campus activities, I come into contact with different people, and I began to learn how to respect each other, how to reach agreements, how to make compromise and so on. I believe that no matter when you make contact with people, one should be kind, generous and always ready to offer help. That’s all, thank you so much.
8. Can you recall on exciting experience you have got at college?
Thank you for your question. I’d like to say something about my experience of being the director of the broadcasting station at college. When I was selected, I was really excited as my ability was recognized by my teachers and colleagues. Besides organizing large-scale campus activities, I propose to make adjustments in our program system. As a student in English major, I suggest having more creative English programs which would attract university students. For instance, the host can invite our American teacher and students aboard to have communicative talks through the radio and we can also advertise our programs through SNS, such as Xinlang
Weibo. I am glad to say our microblog has been marked with “V” and welcome all the teachers to search through the Internet and listen to the programs. All these successful attempts give me a sense of achievement and I really feel excited. Thank you.
9. What kind of personality do you think you have?
Thank you for your question. I’d like to say that I am a strong-minded girl. Once I set a goal, I will persist on it until I succeed. For example, when I was preparing for the postgraduate examination, I spare no effort to learn every subject well. Pedagogy itself is quite interesting, but the process of memorizing detailed concepts and theories can be a bit boring, but I keep telling myself that no pains no gains. And it’s quite clear the process of doing research on educational issues is much tougher than just memorizing the conclusions. So I believe I am a strong-minded girl. Thank you so much.
10. How are you getting along with your classmates or colleagues?
Thank you for your question. I get along with my friends well. Since we are far away from home, we care each other just like siblings. We share happiness and sorrows together and we offer all necessary help when someone is in trouble. But there are times when we can’t get along well. We may have disagreements even fierce argument, then I choose to stay alone for some time and have a deep talk with friends, then all clouds will drift away and our friendship is still in the sunshine. That’s all. Thank you.
11. What are your great strengths?
Thank you for your question. I feel my strongest merit is that I am a highly-organized girl. If I take a job, I will search for useful information, make detailed plans and try my best to do it efficiently; if I get into trouble, I would calm down soon and try to solve the problem with my friends’ help. I never escape from my responsibility and I am used to make summary after work. Besides, I am organized in life. My room s always clean and everything is in the right position. I feel comfortable to live in such a neat environment.
12. What are your great weakness?
Thank you for your question. I was born as a sensitive girl. I am sensitive to unknown conditions. So in order to avoid helplessness, I will get to know the condition in advance. For example, this time I came to Nanjing alone, for fear of getting lost, I checked all the possible public transportation lines from the railway station to the hotel and from the hotel to our university. Luckily, everything goes well. Being born sensitive makes me more careful than others, sometimes this can be bad, so I will go on improving myself.
13. Do you call yourself a happy person?
Thank you for your question. I think I am a happy person. I like to see the bright side of things. Failure and depression happen to me sometimes. But I know feeling bad is no help to solve problems, so I will adjust myself to the best state quickly.
14.How do you feel about your achievement so far?
Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, I am satisfied with my performance in the past four years’college life. As for academic study, I acquired much knowledge and I was granted the scholarship every semes ter. What’s more, I have acquired an aggressive learning attitude. I have a thirst for knowledge and I’m prepared to learn, I believe it will benefit for the rest of my life. Besides, through my work in the broadcasting station and the Student Union, I have accumulated precious experience of cooperation, coordination and communication. Last but
not least, I have gained some working experience from my part-time jobs. However, I know what I have learned is far from enough and I still have a very long way to go. This is also one reason why I want to further my education.
15. Could you tell us something about your hometown?
Sure. I am from Zibo, A transportation hub in the central part of Shandong province. It used to be a famous industrial city, Qilu Petrochemical Company, Xinhua Pharmaceutical Company and many other large companies are all located there.
It is also a famous historic city, it used to be the capital of Qi during the spring and autumn and the warring-states period. At that time, the most famous institution of higher education can be the Jixia Academy, and it was also located there. Many renowned scholars ,like Mengzi, Xunzi, Su qin, Zhang Yi and so on, had expressed their opinions there.
Zibo is also known as the cradle of cuju, which is regarded as the origin of modern football.
As for specialties, Zhoucun Sesame Seed Cake can rank the top. It is characterized as thin and crispy. It’s a very delicious snack suitable for both the young and the old. Besides, Boshan Suguo and tofu box are also delicious dishes. I am proud to say that I can cook suguo on my own. Welcome to Zibo, dear professors!
16. Where do you prefer to live in, Nanjing or your hometown?
Thank you for your question. I prefer to live and work in Nanjing. As it is a modern city with more opportunities for self-development. Life here can be exciting and colorful. But when I grow older, if my parents don’t want to move here, I would go back to Zibo. They give me painstaking care when I was a child, then when they grow old, I should also accompany them.
17. Can you introduce your family to us?
Thank you for your question. There are four members in my family, my father, my mother, my sister and I. My father is a worker, both my mother and my sister are teachers they have great influence on me. My sister get married in 2010 and gave birth a lovely baby the next year, I love playing with my niece and I found that the knowledge I learned in pedagogy class is quite useful when educating her. I love my niece, I love my family.
18. Which of your family members influence you most?
I think it’s my lovely niece. She is 2-year-old and very naive. She has a very regular life : go to bed at 10pm and get up at 8am every day, have milk before going to bed, drink yoghourt or fruit juice at 10am, go out and have fun with my mother every day, what a healthy lifestyle! Though we adults are very busy with either study or work, I think we should try our best to live a regular life and keep a healthy lifestyle.
19. How do you usually celebrate important family occasions?
We usually have dumplings for dinner. My mother used to live a pretty poor life and she says years ago people can only have dumplings on New Y ear’s Eve. Now life is much better, but her love for dumplings never changed. She not only like eating them, but also enjoy the process of making them. I helped her as a right-hand assistant. Every time she make dumplings, she would tell stories about the old age. I also enjoy the process.
20. What’s your favourite sport?
It’s jogging. I spend an hour jogging on the playground with two of my best friends every day. It’s a convention
which began in last December, when we were preparing the postgraduate examination. While jogging, I feel very relaxed. And after that , I can be full of energy and devote myself to study very quickly. I like this healthy sport and I will keep on it.
21. Are you interested in ball games?
Y es, I like playing badminton, not for matches, just for fun. I love watching badminton games on TV. For me, the players are not simply sportsmen. Instead,they are all artists, making each round of game a masterpiece for people to appreciate.
22.What kind of books do you enjoy reading?
I like three kinds of books in all. Firstly, I like books on education, such as “Good Parents Makes Good Children”written by Lu Qin, who is known as the agony aunt. This kind of books tells both teachers and parents how to treat your children properly; Secondly, I like autobiography. Recently, I read “Fiction and Fact” written by Rui Chenggang and “Being on sea, sail” written by Mengfei. Part of their words brings me positive energy. As a student in English major, I also like reading English novels. My favourite one is “Pride and Prejudice” written by Jane Austin.The story tells us that it’s wrong to get married just for fortune, money and social status, while it’s also foolish to discard all these factors. Reading makes me calm and sober in mind.
23. Who is your favourite singer?
It’s Celine Dion. “My heart will go on” is my favourite English song since I watched the movie“Titanic” in 1997. Her voice was so beautiful that I cannot help myself. In this year’s spring festival gala, Celine singed “jasmine”with famous folk song singer Song Zuying in both Chinese and English, I think their performance is terrific! They are so charming and elegant, I like their style.
24. What is your biggest problem in learning English?
Thank you for your question. I think the biggest problem lies in translation. Quite different from listening, speaking, reading and writing, translation needs more strategy and culture background. That’s what I am short of now. But I know that with excellent translation skills, one can be a better communicator. So besides memorizing vocabulary and doing oral practice, I keep reading books and watch English movies to get in touch with English culture. I hope I can improve myself gradually.
25. Why do you decide to major in English Methodology?
Thank you for your question. There are two main reasons. First of all, my mother and my sister are both language teachers, my mum teaches Chinese, and my sister teaches English, they cultivate my interest in language and I find I have a talent in learning English so when I choose my major, I choose English directly.
26. Could you depict your general plans for the postgraduate study?
Thank you for your question. I hope I could form a systematic view of my major through two years’ study here. Secondly, I hope to have more access to the up-to-date information in this field. What’s more, I am sure there will be more chances to put what I have learned from books into practice, thus smoothing the way for future work. In a word, I am looking forward to make a solid foundation for my future profession after two years’ study here. Thank you.
27. Do you think planning a career for a young person is vital?
Sure. In order to avoid unemployment after graduation, one should decide what he or she wants to do in the future as early as possible. We cannot always rely on our parents, we should think independently.
28. What would you be doing in five years from now?
I have a trilogy in five years from now. For the first two years, I will try my best to finish my postgraduate education and develop my abilities in an all-round way. In this way I think I can be competent enough to find a satisfying job in the third year. When I am familiar with my position, I think I get married with my Mr. Right, though I haven’t met him now.
29. Qufu
Qufu is the hometown of Confucius and it has three world-famous attractions, they’re the Confucius Temple, the Confucius Mansion and the Confucius Cemetery.
Well, in the Confucius temple, the Hall of Great Achievements is considered to be the most impressive building. I feel to lucky to have a close contact with it in 2010 when I worked as a n volunteer in the International Confucius Cultural Festival.
Besides these attractions, there are other scenic spots related to Confucius, such as the City of Six Arts. My graduation thesis happens to be related to the Six Arts City. More specifically, I searched the mistranslation in here. Before graduation, I hope I can contribute something to the small city to make it a more beautiful place.
30. Confucius
Confucius is one of the most famous Chinese people in the world. He is the founder of Confucianism and Confucius’ legacy lies in three aspects. I’d like to introduce them one by one.
Firstly, he compiled and preserved the literary works, The Six Classics, including Shi, Shu, Li, Yue, Yi and Chun Qiu.
Secondly, Confucius built up a system of philosophical thoughts with Ren as its basic virtue.
Last but not least, Confucius established private schools, creating a scientific educational system.
In a word, his thoughts have exerted a deep influence on China and its people and we should respect such a master.
Great contributions on education:
As for the students, Confucius proposed that teachers should provide education for all people without discrimination. I totally agree with this point.
As for the purpose of education, Confucius proposed that after acquiring enough knowledge, one should be an official and contribute to the country. Obviously, it’s totally correct from our perspective of view.
As for the contents, they’re the Six Classics. And they were used as textbooks for nearly a thousand years.
As for methodology, Confucius proposed several useful methods, such as teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, .enlightening students, uniting learning,thinking and acting.
Confucius spent his whole life on education and he indeed set a good example for us who want to be a teacher in the future.

I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering. I’m amazed that in China someone’s liver matched yours.

Do you think “we all have a responsibility to be safe”? There is no denying that safety plays an important part in our daily life. Recently our school has carried out a program aiming at increasing our safety awareness. I consider this as indeed a good practice, which will remind us that safety should always come first in our daily life, whether when we stay at school or outside it. For example, when we are doing sports, we should attach great importance to safety and avoid being hurt. Besides, we should follow the traffic rules when we are going to school or when we are on our way back home. I firmly believe that we should develop a good sense of safety and do everything safely. What measures have been taken to prevent driving infractions like drunk driving and speeding in China? Driving infractions cases have been increasing and have caused numerous deaths. A more severe punishment should be given to those who drive after they have drunk, especially to those who are drunk and have caused serious injuries or deaths while driving.In order to crack downdriving infractions, the government should introduce a more severe law. Besides, more measures should be taken to cultivate the drivers’ awareness of traffic laws and respect others’ lives as well as their own when they are driving on the road, which I think should be the key to decrease drunken driving cases. Can you tell us how to escape a fire, esp. when you are in a high-rise building? As we know, no one knows for sure when a fire will happen, so it is extremely necessary to make preparations before a fire starts. To beginwith, checking the fire escape in advance and make sure that you can find it when lights have failed.What’s more, taking care not to be overcome by smoke, which containing monoxide gas, can kill you quickly. At last, cover your mouth with a wet towel or a wet cloth, and avoid getting into the smoke. In short, if you make preparations before and take precautions during the fire, chances are that you will survive in case of a fire if it really breaks out some day. What are the things you have to defend yourself so that you can have a peaceful and wonderful life?

以下为爱麟霖/(Curlylin)倾情奉献，需要的朋友可以参考一下 7. Friendship (Listening and Speaking Course, Unit 3; Integrated Course, Unit 2) 1) Do you have many friends? What kind of people do you want to make friends with? Why? Yes. I’d like to make friends with loyal people. In my opinion,a friend is a person who can share his/hers happiness with you, who can lend you a shoulder when you cry,who can give you a hand when you are in trouble without asking for anything in return. In a word,a friend in need is a friend indeed, I think a loyal people can do the things which were mentioned above for his/hers true friend. So I prefer to make friends with loyal people, and I also believe I am a loyal people who you can make friends with. 2) How do you make friends? Please comment on “a friend you buy isn’t worth the price”. First,I’d like to talk to him to find out whether we have the same interest with each other. If the answer is YES,then we have the foundation to develop a friendship. The next days, all we need to do is to treat each other by heart and soul. 3) How valuable is friendship in a person’s life? How can we keep friendship alive? As for me, I regard friendship as a very important part in my life.Just imagine a life,there’s no one to be your friend. What life could be if you had no friend to talk to , no friend to comfore you and cheer you up when you were having a hard time,no friend to lend you a hand when you needed help …… Life without friends is unthinkable ... We have to do hard work to build up and sustain our friendship. First, let your friends know that you really care about them.It’s important to give some cues to your friends. Be sure your friend knows that she is cared about.Second,try to be with your friends when they are in trouble when they need you. Keeping friendship alive is not only to say some sweet words,but need some real action. 4) What does friendship mean to you? What kind of friends do you think are true friends? It's a fantastic experience in whole of my life. Friendship to me is what water to fish.I can't live without a real friend. 2问见（1） 5) How can we get along well with other people? To begin with, we need to be honest with others and always say what we mean. Lies will surely make people stay far away from us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best policy.

1.How can we keep friendship alive. Friendship is absolutely crucial for us. We have to do hard work to build up and sustain friendship. Here are some important ways to keep friendship alive .First of all,let your friends know that you care about them. If you can't be there at the given moment, say something like, "I wish I could be with you. May I call you tomorrow? "Be sure your friend knows she's cared about.Second, try to be with your friends when they are in trouble. Remember troubled people are most in need of their friends to stay around. The last but not the least, keeping friendship alive is to say to your friends "I miss you and I love you ". Remember? 2.Is it right for college students to have tattoos? Nowadays many college students like to highlight their personalities, to be their own. They have taken special ways to show their personalities. For example, some college students who are tattooed think tattooing is cool and shows great personality. But teachers and parents do not think tattooing is right for students. They believe to be a student you should dress like a student--no tattoos, of cause. Some people even believe that those who are tattooed are not good students. As far as I am concerned, although many people can not accept students’ tattooing, nothing is wrong with tattooing. College students are grown-ups. They can tell right from wrong. If they want to be tattooed, just remember to tell them to select clean places, preferably with parental consents. 3.What do cultural difference mean ? Can you give some examples? Cultural differences mean differences among people in ways of thinking, life, aesthetic concepts, social practices, diet and etc. Let’s talk about, for example, eating habits in different areas. In China, people prefer vegetables and fruits, for the Chinese believe that such things are rich in vc, which are good to health. However, western people are more likely to eat meat. Known as having a good tradition of hospitality , Chinese people always greet their guests with warm hand. Chinese meal table normally is filled with delicious food, yet the host is used to saying " I am sorry. I don’t think the food is good enough today" and other courtesies. Host or hostess sometimes use their chopsticks to take food to the guest’s bowl, which is considered as a way to show hospitality in China. However, in western countries, people emphasize respect to individuality. At dinner, people eat whatever they like or we say they eat at their own will. 4.Do you consider your 18th birthday is one of the most important days in your life? Give reasons. Yes, 18th birthday is considered the most important. Each birthday means a new year. I am most concerned about my 18th birthday as it is a sign of adulthood, indicating that I am no longer a child, but one who can try to do things independently and should be reliable for his or her own actions as an adult. Since my eighteenth birthday, I am entitled to go shopping alone, to travel alone and to live independently. I still remembered my 18th birthday. After my birthday celebration, I suddenly felt grown up, both physically and mentally. Birthday to me is an important turning point, enabling me to learn and think independently. So far as I am concerned about each birthday, I usually feel better.
Topics for Oral test 1. Which great leader do you admire most? What qualities did/does he/she have? bill gates 2. Which do you cherish more, your friendship with a good friend or your romantic relationship? obviously, friend is easy to make, but lover is kind of hard to seek for. Since relationship between friends might be not that close compared to romantic relationship, I will probably take it serious and cherish this sweet relationship. Also, I believe that my friends will support me and our relationship won’t be tense and freezing because of this. As the Chinese saying goes, once you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you may leave your friends out of your mind. I partly agree this, and when I fall in love, especially at the very beginning, I think I will cherish it more than friendship. 3. What factors would you consider first if you were to find a job (even a part-time job)? I will first consider whether this company and the offered position is high potential. I think high potential is a quality that is vital for the company’s future development and its personnel’s self improvement. Every one need a room to promote and realize one’s self-value. Another factor I concern is—its location. I’d like to work and live in big cities because big cities offer so many opportunities and a higher salary while small cities can’t. 4. Whom do you usually turn to when in trouble, vour parents or your friends? They know me better than anyone else and their vision is wide, their thoughts are mature.
