一、高考英语口试由下列五大题组成：
（1）朗读 10%
（2）快速应答 10%
（3）情景提问 20%
（4）谈话 30%
（5）看图说话 30%
二、各大题如何准备
1．朗读
Part 1 Reading aloud (10%)
这部分称为Passage reading。你将从荧屏上看到你所要读的文章。你可以有一分钟时间准备，然后，只用30秒钟朗读该短文。你也许会认为30秒钟读完这篇文章是不可能的，因此你就会加快速度，抢时间，将文章读完。其实，这是错误的判断。你应该按正常的速度朗读，按规定的朗读要求读短文。
本大题的考查要求：朗读短文测试学生的语音基础、意群停顿、语气转换、自然流畅的连读、失爆等朗读技巧。
现将短文朗读考查要求分析如下：
（1）语音的基础问题。根据我本人的学习体会与教学中的观察，中国学生如果对英语国际音标中下列四个元音的发音掌握得较好，则其他元音音素的掌握也不会有大问题。这四个元音是/i:,i,e, /。少数学生由于在初学时没有掌握其发音的要领，以致他们到了高考口试中有些读音与标准的要求相差甚远。有人甚至将/i:,i/分别误读为汉语的“衣”，“一”。在发/e/时口型过大。如say的过去式said，这里字母组合ai应读/e/。不少学生错读成/?/，这样said读成了/s?d/，成了sad（形容词“悲伤的”）。又如say的读音应是/sei/，而says的读音是/sez/，这里字母组合ay的读音应是/e/。此外，the的读音也是一个问题。大家都清楚字母组合th的读音是/θ/或/ /。发这两个音素最重要的“技巧”就是将舌尖放在上下牙齿之间（并轻触上下齿），然后，送气，这种发音方法在汉语的发音中是没有的。但由于平时朗读时马虎了事，养成了这种错误习惯。
（2）意群和停顿。句子可以按照意思和结构分为若干段，每一段称为一个意群，英语中称为sense group.每一个意群有其特殊的意义。在朗读每一篇短文前，你应找准意群。这样你可以在说话和朗读时，意群和意群之间可梢作一定的停顿，也可以在此处换气，使意思表达更为清楚。如果你停错地方，你的“听众”就听不懂。这也就是你经常听到老师评论说“读破句”，英语称为broken English。你还须注意在同一意群中各个单词之间应一口气念完而不可停顿。同时，意群和意群之间
根据需要而停顿，也不是非停顿不可。
朗读样题：
A four-year-old girl / is lying / in the arms of a doctor. //She has just become motherless.// Her pink clothes are bloodied / and her eyes stare at something / only she can see. //She has suffered from a bombing / near her home / in southern Iraq.
（3）语调。主要有升调与降调两种。升调一般用于句首状语和一般疑问句，在一个完整句子中各并列成分在最后一个并列成分前者应用升调。如：I have three English books↗,two Chinese dictionaries↗and five pens↘.
降调用在陈述句句尾和特殊疑问句中，尤其应注意的是一般疑问句的回答。如：Do you have a map in your hand↗?该疑问句的肯定回答：Yes↘,I do↘.这里的Yes,必须是降调，I do也必须是降调。
（4）连读与失爆。连读较容易掌握。在一个意群中，将前一个单词最后的辅音与后一个单词开头的元音连在一起读。如：half an hour, ran out of the room, not at all。
而失爆是朗读中较难掌握的一种技巧。当相邻两个爆破音在一起时，往往给前面一个爆破音留一个位置，但不爆破，稍停随即发后面的爆破音，这种现象称为失去爆破。如：hot bath，（加下划线的字母不发音）the next day，/a good deal of, I don't believe.等。
试读样题Part One请注意用正常速度朗读，并练习上面提到的一些朗读技巧及基本功。
2．快速应答
Part 2 : Quick Responses. (10%)
主要测试考生对功能性语言的掌握。考生将从耳机里听到5个句子，要求考生对这5个句子进行快速应答。每个句子的答题时间为5秒。
首先学生应搞清这题不是回答问题，而是对你所听到的句子作恰当的反应。这部分的难点是没有情景提示，考生必须在听到句子后的瞬间判断这句子应在什么情景下使用，其前后呼应的句子应该是什么。然后，再确定一个正确的应答句。
如你听到的句子为：“How are you going to station?”你会想到这是两人相遇时，一人要去火车站，另一人想知道对方去火车站的方式。你的应答句应是：“I am going to station by bus/by taxi/on foot…”
在听到考题时，应搞清这个句子的类型：是一般疑问句，还是特殊疑问句；是陈述句，还是祈使句。对特殊疑问句应抓住：第一个词——疑问词，这决定了你的应答句的内容。第二个词——助动词，它决定了你的应答句的时态或语态。当然，其他的词也起了不同的作用，但相比之下，这两个词所提供的信息尤为重要。如上述例句：“How are you going to station?”第一个词how告诉了你应答句的内容有关“方式”——去车站的方式。第二个词“are you going to”告诉了你的应答句应用be going to作动词谓语。
再如：“
Don't forget to post the letter for me!”这是一句祈使句。情景是：别人请你做事，但又担心你会忘记。你的应答句要告诉对方“我不会忘记的”。由于汉语思维的干忧，不少学生会讲成：“Yes, I won't.”大家都知道，这是错句。既然你不会忘记做某事，那就应该是否定形式。这样你的应答句就必须是：“No,I won't.”

Ask 2 questions about each situation given below, at least one special question.既然题目中给你情景，必须从所给的情景中搞清几个要素：这个情景的主角是谁，谈话的对象是谁，该情景发生的时间、地点及内容等信息。在英语中也就是when, where, what's happening, whom are you talking to…？
考生从屏幕上看到和耳机里听到的情景：
例1．Your friend invites you to his birthday party, which is to be held in a restaurant.
分析Your friend is having a birthday party.
You are invited to the party, but you don't know the exact date or time. Besides, you need to know where the restaurant is.

4．谈话
Part 4: oral composition (30%)
考生将在屏幕上看到，同时从耳机里听到谈
话的题目。话题通常与第三部分的短文内容有关，但无须记忆短文内容，要求考生对所给的话题准备60秒，谈话时间60秒，谈话所用句子至少6句。
根据05年口试情况，考生在屏幕上看到题目的同时还会看到与其配套的录像，这是为了给考生提供更多的信息。考生可以根据情况采用与否。
在这一部分，你将根据所给的题目作一分钟准备，并且用一分钟时间谈这个题目。这部分考核的内容实际上就是一篇口头小作文——oral composition。既然它被称为Composition，就必须按段落写作的要求来准备。（1）从structure来考虑，文章必须要有beginning, body and conclusion。在beginning里要开门见山地提出该短文的topic sentence.在topic sentence中必须含有关键词。有了关键词后，则在body部分可以根据关键词写出support details。这是全部短文的重点，而且篇幅在全文中比例最大。如果全文只有10个句子，那么，这部分应有7~8句。最后一部分是conclusion，在结尾部分中你应再次重申你的观点，但不能将主题句作简单的重复。
第二个要讲明的是：短文必须有内容。如题目为An unforgettable after Class Activity的短文，那就应该描述一个具体的活动。使评卷老师听到你讲的短文后，感觉到你参加的活动确实吸引人，令人难忘。不能靠堆积许多形容词，而没有一个具体的情节来证实你讲的活动让人难忘，这个topic学生写得最多的内容是下乡、学军、学农等。
例文：It was a very hot night. We tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't, because there was no air conditioning in our bedroom. Besides, we hated to hear the noise of the flying mosquitoes around us. Some of us had to give up sleeping. They went out to sit in the yard, chatting. Some others had a good idea. They slept in turns while others did the fan to keep them cool and the mosquitoes away. What a fantastic idea it was! Though we didn't have enough sleep, anyway we did have some sleep.
如果在你的短文叙述中有这样有情节、有内容的材料，你的得分就不会低。
高考口试话题参考范文
1.The Problem of Pollution
Pollution has become a serious problem facing everyone in the world .Many chimneys of factories often send poisonous smoke directly into the air and motorcars giving off heavy smoke can be seen everywhere in the streets. The smoke really does harm to people .But luckily, more and more people have made laws to stop the pollution. With the effort of everybody, I’m sure that the air of the city will become purer and purer, and our life will become better and better.
2. Books --our Best Friends
We can get much information from all kinds of books. For example, you can learn how to do some cooking from the books on cooking. Of course, we can cook delicious food with the help
of books. If we want to go traveling, but we have no time, then we can buy a book on travel first. In a word, books can help us to search and study all the things we want to learn. A good book gives us many useful things just as a friend does. We should remember the proverb, “Books, like friend, should be few and well chosen.” During the time we are growing up, books are always our best friends. I like reading books.
3. My Favorite Sport
In my spare time, I always play table tennis. That is my favorite sport. When I was young, I used to be in poor health. I still remember my father took me to the stadium to learn how to play table tennis for the first time. Since then, I have been fond of it. Now I often play with my classmates after class. I like playing table tennis because it takes a little room and it is also exciting like football, basketball and so on. By playing table tennis with my classmates, we build up our health and become stronger so that we can study well. Though I am still not very good at it, I like it.
4. The Reason Why We Learn English
English is an international language and it has many speakers. English plays a very important part in our life. To take the Internet for an example, most of the information appears in English, so if you don’t know English, how can you find the information you need? Also, in our daily life, many newspapers and magazines are written in English, and books included. If we don’t know English, we will be at a loss for any information, and we will lose our best friends----books. Also, international meetings and businesses need English as a communication. From the above, we can see English is really very important and that’s why we need to learn it well.
5. How to Learn English Well?
Now China has entered WTO, so English is more important to us students than before. Since English isn’t my native language, I have much trouble in learning it. Spoken English and listening comprehension are always difficult to me. So I should practice my English every day. First, I will try my best to find every chance to communicate with people who speak English, and read more as often as I can. Second, I should learn English by means of television or radio. And third, I will read more books and magazines written in English. I believe if I follow the outlines above, I can learn my English well.
6. The advantages and Disadvantages of the Internet
Net surfers in different countries can share interesting knowledge and the latest information. Besides, Internet has provided a major opportunity to buy and sell goods. What is more, people get medical help or even vote on the Internet. Its advantages seem countless. However, there are some problems too. The Internet makes people passive and people may find that World Wide Web turns into World Wide Wait. What is worse, some children have access to the scenes of violence and sex. Apart from these, it can be affected by viruses and hackers. Wi
th proper management of the Internet people ought to experience more fruits of information revolution.
7. Living in the City or in the Country?
Compared with living in the city, I prefer to live in the country. Several reasons can support my opinion. First, with the development of industry, the city has been seriously polluted. Air pollution and water pollution make our daily life more and more uncomfortable, and it will do harm to our health. Secondly, living in the country provides a better sight. The green tree, grasses and large fields make the country much more beautiful and the air much fresher. So I like living in the country instead of living in the city.
8. The Importance of Helping Each Other
In my opinion, people should help each other as often as possible. Whenever someone is in trouble, we should try our best to help him. Of course, when you are in danger, other people will help you. Helping each other is the fine quality of our Chinese. If you like to help others, you can not only make more friends but also do more good to your country. Nowadays, people everywhere raise money for the Hope Project, because many people need help. As a Chinese, we should try our best to help the poor and the disabled. I like helping others, which makes my life more meaningful.
9. Doing Something for the 2010 Expo
As all know, the 2010 Expo will be held in Shanghai. It will have a significant effect on the future of China. As a result, we should do something for the Expo. First, we should study hard, especially learning English well. In 2010, a great number of people all over the world will come to China. If we learn English well, we can understand and communicate with the foreigners more easily and it helps us to be closer to them. Second, we should pay attention to our environment to keep our country beautiful. So it can leave a deep impression on the foreigners. I’m sure that the Expo to be held in Beijing will be successful.
10. Eating in Restaurant or at Home
More and more people today choose to eat in restaurants rather than at home. First eating in restaurants, we have a wide selection of food. Some dishes are too complicated to prepare at home. Second, in restaurants, we can relieve ourselves from hard work. To prepare a good meal at home is by no means an easy job. It involves buying good food from the market, washing, cooking and washing dishes etc. However, when we eat in restaurants, all the trouble is gone. Finally, when we dine in restaurants, we dine like a king or queen, while at home, we have to do everything on our own.
11. My family
I have a happy family. There are three persons in my family --- Mum, Dad and I. we are not tish, however, we love each other. Like other families, we sometimes argue for something. But it does not matter, and we live a happy life. My parents have their own business, and I have to study in school. Though we are all busy, we often chat, play and work together in our sp
are time. Everything is going well in my family. Dad always says: good work is supported by a happy family. I think so. I love my family and the life will be always appreciated.
12. My favorite Color
My favourite colour is blue. Though people always think bleu indicates melancholy, I still love it very much. The color of the sky is blue. I wish that I could fly in the blue sky like birds. I like the sky, so blue becomes my favourite color. It looks gentle and doesn’t make us excited. Looking at it, we can feel comfortable and be in a good mood. Besides, the color of the sea is the same as the sky. It is blue, when I look at the blue color I imagine I’m walking on the beach. So blue becomes my favorite color.
13．Something about computer
Today, computer is popular among the young people. There are several factors leading to the phenomenon. First, a computer is fast and never makes a mistake while people are too slow and full of mistakes sometimes. Thus, computers can make our work more efficient. Second, a computer can do a lot of everyday work instead of people. So it is widely used in factories, hospitals, banks and almost everywhere. Finally, a computer give us a lot of convenience, pleasure and knowledge, it comes as no surprise that computer is popular among people.
14. Do You Like Traveling?
I like traveling, especially traveling around the world. There are two main reasons for my choice. For one thing, by traveling, we can enjoy ourselves by visiting a lot of places of interest. Such as the Great wall in china, the Fu Ji Mountain in Japan, the golden beaches in Singapore, the Eiffel Tower is France and so on. In doing so, we are exposed to different histories, cultures, customs and civilizations. And this can widen our scope of knowledge. For another, traveling can relieve the stress of our busy life and bring pleasure to us. So whenever you feel unhappy, try to have3 a travel. Since traveling can give us so many benefits, it comes as no surprise that I like traveling.
15. What Will You Do When Seeing a Thief?
I think we should deal with such a situation in different ways. If I an alone when I see the thief stealing and the thief takes something dangerous with him, the best way is to dial 110. Because keeping myself safe is also important. If I am staying with my friends when I see the thief stealing, maybe we will choose to shout at the thief at once. Uniting many people’s efforts to catch the thief, I think, is the best way to deal with the situation. And I think we should never be frightened but we should be very clever and brave at such times.
16. What Will You Do When Meeting with Floods?
Our world is changing every minute, and we can not predict what will happen to us. If we meet with floods unfortunately, what shall I do? First, I think I should be very calm in order to be away from the danger. Second, I must try my best to help the old, the young, and even the disabled. Last but not the least
, we should also prepare some food and clothes that are necessary in our daily life. A flood may be terrible and dangerous, but on the other hand, a flood can make you become brave and conquer any difficulty.
17. The Hope Project
When we are sitting in the classroom, do you know how many other children can’t go to school? They are forced to leave school for lack of money. So we should help them in order to let them go back to school. But as a student, what can we do for the Hope Project? It’s easy to answer the question. Now, we have more and more pocket money. We can save some for the Hope project. And also, we can donate our pencils, pens and books to the children who can’t go to school. We can make friends with them and encourage them not to lose heart. If everyone gives his love to the Hope Project, our society will become more beautiful.
18. Something About Examinations
We have many exams in our study life. Perhaps many people will say they don’t like them. But in my opinion, I like exams for the following reasons. First, having an exam will test your level of your study. I think this is the best way to have a clear picture of what I have learned. Second, having an exam will add to my confidence. If I get food marks in an exam, I will become happy to make more efforts in my further study. If I fail, I will find out the reason to improve my study. So I like to be examined, that is to say, I like3 examinations.
19. Something About Advertisements
We can find advertisements everywhere nowadays. When you are watching an interesting TV poly, your attention may be interrupted by the advertisements. When you read newspapers, you may find nearly half of the pages covered with advertisements. I like advertisements like many young people. First, advertisements can enable people to make decisions quickly, which will save a lot of time. Second, advertisements can also make people know more products of the same kind, and then we will have more chances to buy the best goods. In short, I think advertisements have more advantages than disadvantages.
20. The Importance of Enjoying Good Health
As the proverb says ‘health is above wealth, and health is happiness.’ It’s very important to enjoy good health. Anyone who doesn’t have good health can’t live happily. How to enjoy good health? In my opinion, there are at least four ways to do so. First, eat properly, be sure to have rice, vegetables, meat, fruit, egg and milk every day. Second, have a good rest. Enjoying a good sleep is also very important. Third, have sports and exercise every day, because life lies in sports. Last but not least, keep yourself relaxed. If you can follow all the directions outlined above, you are sure to enjoy good health.
21. Money and Happiness
Some people think that if they have money, they will be happy. I am afraid not. For example, anyone who is not healthy will not be happy, though he has a lot of money. Some rich men have few true
friends, why? Perhaps they think that they are different from ordinary people, and maybe people like their money. When they get much money, they become very strange, their friends turn away from them. At last, those rich men become lonely. Are they happy? The answer is clear. They are not happy. In a word, money can not buy happiness, which is an unchangeable truth.
22. One Child Policy in the Chinese Family
As we all know, china has a very large population. But our natural resources are very limited and many people are still very poor, especially in the remote areas. In such a big country, food can not be well supplied to everybody. That’s the reason why our government requires every Chinese family should have one child. In the old society, people had a big family and their children could not be given a good education. However, in the modern society, every family can afford their children a very good education. Only by doing so can the quality of our Chinese be raised. I am strongly in favor of the policy: It’s better to have a child in every family.
23. Teenage Smoking
There has been an alarming increase in teenage smoking in the past 20 years. This fact has become a question that we must pay attention to. The factors for this case are complex. First, I think curiosity is the main reason. Many youngsters want to experience the pleasure of smoking when they see others doing that, and they also want to have a try, the second factor is also psychological. As the youngsters haven’t realized the harm of taking up this habit, they only think that smoking shows maturity. They want to be regarded as the grown-ups through smoking. For all these reasons, it comes as no surprise that teenage smoking has become a serious social problem.
24.The Value of Time
A proverb says:“ Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time. It goes without saying that the time we can use is unusually limited. Hence, even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve society and our nation in the future. In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow.
25. Water and Life
Life depends on water. So water is one of the most important things in our life. However, according to a recent survey we find water dirtier and dirtier, and even polluted by the near by factories. I can hardly imagine what the world would be if we continued to use the polluted water. On the one hand, some kinds of animals are dying out. Fish suffer from the dirty and poisonous water more directly, so we are more likely to find it difficult to see fish swimming in the river then ever before.
26.Children Under Pressu
re
In recent years, children’s schoolbags on their back are getting heavier and heavier. Their burden still can’t be relieved in spite of social protests. There are several reasons for my viewpoint. For one thing, most parents want their children to be the top students. Therefore, children are forced to crush their time to study more. For another, children themselves under the pressure want to score high. They also want to get a golden opportunity to enter key schools and they think good marks can provide them with success. Obviously, we can see that the problem about the enormous pressure on children won’t be lightened in a short time.
27. How to Solve the Traffic Problem
When we go out in rush hours, we are always caught in a traffic jam. Many people complain about the heavy traffic which has seriously influenced people’s life. It has become one of the biggest problems in the big cities like Shanghai. Some suggest the government should construct more roads. In this way, the traffic density can be obviously reduced and the buses and cars can go faster. Others suggest that the number of bicycles and cars should be limited, but it is very inconvenient to people. In short, the government should develop proper traffic means and bring more benefit to people in the near future.
28. How to Solve the Energy Crisis
According to a recent survey, energy crisis has become one of the biggest problems in the world. If we don’t take any measures, sooner or later we will be threatened by the energy crisis. In many countries, people who have realized the problem have suggested the governments should narrow the great drain on the country’s resources when it isn’t necessary enough to save the limited resources. In addition, the inhabitants and factories should limit their serious consumption of energy. The best and effective way, I think, is to develop new energy such as solar energy, unclear energy and other unknown energy.
29． About friends
A man without a friend is only half a man. In another word, everyone living in the world needs friends. It’s clear that our society is a competitive one, and the great competition between each other often leads to frequent failures, which sometimes even make you feel despaired. However, if you have a true friend, he will relieve you, cast your sadness aside and encourage you to try again bravely. Therefore, choosing a true friend is quite important to us. But a false friend will stay with you when he thinks he can benefit from you and leave you the moment you need him most. In short, friends are to us what sunshine is to life.
30. Competition and Cooperation
How should we understand the relationship between competition and cooperation? For example, there are 11 people in a foot ball team and everyone has its individual skills. They make full use of their own skills to play it, but they can’t play it well and even lose the game. Why does it happen? The main reason is that they
don’t cooperate with the other players and work together to win a game. As a matter of fact, this example tells us many things. Competition gets along with cooperation and they can’t be isolated. Cooperation without competition gets along with cooperation and they can’t be isolated. Cooperation without competition will never obtain one’s goals and satisfy one’s needs.
31．TV and Newspaper
With the development of science and technology, TV plays an important part in our life. While it is believed that it is convenient for people to get information, I believe that newspapers are the best sources of information. It is true that TV offers us sounds and pictures. The advantages of newspapers are reflected in many aspects. For one thing, news in papers is reported in detail and we can be well-informed about what is happening of the day. For another, reading newspaper can enhance our ability to read and write. Last, we can choose what we like. In short, the newspaper is an effective means of communication.
32. My favourite Job
My favourite job is to be a doctor. A variety of reasons have led me to choose this occupation. To begin with, there is no doubt that doctors are the emblems of greatness, which means rescuing the dying and the wounded. Second, those who save others from danger will also feel happy. NO more occupation, even high-paid position can equal the opportunity. Last but not the least, the doctors left me a great impress when I was only a child. Since then, they have a high position in my mind. For all these reasons, I want to be a doctor and contributed my love and help to others as often as I can.
33. Private Cars
Attitudes towards the development of a private car differ widely. As is often pointed out, there are many advantages in possessing a car. It gives us much convenience and comfort. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and he can go wherever he likes, which certainly offers people great opportunity to enjoy his leisure hours. Others argue that as more and more cars run in the street, much poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the air and do harm to our health. Anyhow, one thing is certain: private cars have changed our life.
34. Should Firecrackers Be Banned?
Generally speaking, setting off firecrackers is a traditional way for Chinese people to celebrate the festivals. I think firecrackers should be banned. There are two reasons for my choice. On the one hand, setting off firecrackers makes a tremendous noise and causes serous air pollution. Sometimes setting off firecrackers is also a big threat to man’s life and property. Many instances are reported that there are many fire accidents caused by firecrackers every year. From the point, it comes as no surprise that we should ban setting off the firecrackers without any hesitation.
35. Unemployment problems
Unemployment has become a serious problem in society. Perhaps you’ll question why those peo
ple have lost their jobs. As is known to us all, in the last these years, more and more talents have folded into cities. The places occupied by low-educated workers will certainly be replaced. Most obviously, many national companies which are composed of hundreds of employees are mow being driven out of business by those private and competitive companies once these companies are broken down, most of the employees may lose their job. I think it more advisable for the laid-off workers to find a new job. They can try looking for suitable job like shop assistants, security guards and so on. In short, the unemployment is not an end but a new beginning.
36. The Relationship between Teachers and Students
As the proverb says, “A great teacher produces a brilliant student.” This is unchangeable truth. In my opinion, a good relationship between teachers and students is becoming more and more important. There are several reasons for my opinion. To begin with, a good relationship between teachers and students can help us achieve the desired effect and it is an ideal pattern to all of us. Another reason is that if teachers and students cooperate well, it does good to both of them. Personal experience shows that in process of teaching an learning, a good relationship between a teacher and a student is important indeed.
37. Reading Classics
I think we should read some rewarding books such as classics. My argument for this view goes as follows. First, classics picture the wonder and beauty of nature. Another reason is that reading classics develops our sensitivity to beauty and best evokes the feeling of love, peace and understanding. Last, classics can strengthen our character and broaden our range of knowledge. For my part, I consider classics to be among the best of friends. They are the same today as they always were, and they will never change. They do not turn their back on us in times of difficulty.
38. The Relationship between Parents and Children
I think that children should be independent of their parents. It is now universally accepted in society that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop mentally and physically. But only a few of parents today have realized the importance of developing their children’s independence. In our daily lives, parents perform a large number of services for children so that their children have no way to struggle for independence. There is no doubt that if one doesn’t have the ability to be independent; he will have to face many difficulties in his future career.
39. The Problem of Fast Food
In present- day China, we can find two types of fast food: western and Chinese. Fast food, both Chinese and western has several advantages. In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast. The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers. This saves people’s precious time, and consequently goes well with the
tempo of life in modern society. Secondly, fast food restaurants are comfortable. Clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people’s appetite to eat more. As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages such as lack of nutrition. Nevertheless, these are minor points compared with its advantages.
40. Generation Gap
Generation gap exists in our life. First, the young are now affected more by western civilization, but their parents had to make a living when they were young. The young tend to earn more money to spend, which is contrary to their parents’ thought. Second, the young grow up independent of their parents. They think more for themselves and do not willingly accept the ideas of their elders, they have their own philosophy of life without listening to others. Last but not the least, the young people always think their parents and even the elder stick to old ideas and old ways of life, in short, the generation gap exists in our life, but is not frightening, we should find ways to narrow the gap or bridge it.
