Topics for the oral exam (2014.12)
1.What do you remember about learning gender roles when you were
a child?
Now I say something about learning gender roles when I was a child. As a girl, when I was a little girl I always liked to play with my mother’s things, especially her jewelry and makeup.However, I often break them, so my mom would not allow me to play her things. Since I was three years old my parents are very busy for their work，hardly have any spare time to take care of me. So I often play with my elder brother, He was five years older than me,he take care of me particularly good, gradually, I liked to play with my brother’s things, for example, his toy cars、toy gun and Transformers. And in my opinion he is a particularly powerful people, so many things I would liked to learn from him.So that , even at school, I remember talking with other girls about toy cars, toy gun, and other aspects of the boy's toy. So, Until now, my character is also like a boy.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/8714222257.html,pare and contrast the traditional Chinese gender-role patterns
and the modern Chinese gender-role patterns.
Now I say something about compare the traditional Chinese gender-role patterns with the modern Chinese gender-role patterns. Traditionally, gender roles in China were affected by Confucianism, with men being the string leaders of the family, and women having less power. Usually the man go out to work to make money, and the woman stay at home do the housework and take care of the members of the family.
But this pattern has changed over time, the modern Chinese gender-role patterns are very different with the traditional Chinese gender-role patterns. Now women are equal to men, even in some families the status of the women is higher than the men. And now some women have high positions in business、science and other fields. In some families also appeared such phenomenon, the woman go out to work to make money, and the man stay at home do the housework and take care of the members of the family. On the other hand, it may still be difficult for women to opportunities in school or at work.
3.Do you think all immigrants should try to assimilate? Why or why
not?
Now I say something about the question of whether all immigrants should try to assimilate. Yes, I think all immigrants should try to assimilate.
The first reason, because they will gain more from living abroad if they learn at least some of local language and customs. They will make more friends and have more opportunities.
And the second reason, every country has its own custom and culture, the immigrants should We have to recognize and respect the custom and cultural differences,so as to prevent any possible misunderstanding. For example, I see a piece of news from the Internet, this news is description about ,in Canada, they like Chinese money, but not necessarily welcome china immigration way of life, especially the latter are considered ‘disturbed’ National Aboriginal life.
So I think all immigrants should try to assimilate, at the same time, they can keep themselves.
4.Would you rather go to a national park or an interesting city? State
your reasons.
I think for a national park and an interesting city, I would rather go to a national park.
One of the most important reason is that I love the nature. And the goal of national parks is to preserve natural areas in their wild state of people like me to enjoy. Here you can feel the body and mind are particularly https://www.doczj.com/doc/8714222257.html,ually we are studying or working in the city, and often feel great pressure for us, so relaxing for us is necessary.
And another reason is that in the national park will have a lot of rare plant and animal. Here you can see something that you can not fond in other zoo or park. So here not only can broaden our horizons, but also the best place for us to study.
So I think if we have a vacation go to a national park is a very good choice for us. You will not be disappointed.
5.Do you think the advantages of World Heritage Status outweigh the
disadvantages? Why or why not? (For this topic, an example can be given to explain.)
Yes, I think the advantages of World Heritage Status outweigh the disadvantages.
I think the most important reason is that if the place become the World Heritage, the important places are being preserved as a result of their status. And the relevant departments will give more attention on this place, and there will have more laws to protect it.This will ensure that more of the good things be long preserved.
One of other reason is that these places attract a lot of tourists , Can give local people to provide more opportunities to make money and they also benefit economically.
And for example, Mount Wuyi is The World Heritage, and is The World Cultural and Natural double Heritage.Mount Wuyi is located in the Wuyishan city in Fujian Province.Mount Wuyi Is the earth the same latitude area to protect the best and the most abundant species ecological system, has 2527 kinds of plant species, nearly 5000 kinds of wild animals.
So I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
6.What are some advantages and disadvantages of having your own
business?
Now I say something about advantages and disadvantages of having your own business.
To my opinion I think one of the advantage of owning your own business is that the profit the business makes belongs to the owner. And another advantage is that a person can control his working hours and the flexibility to make changes when necessary. And do not need to worry about being blamed from the leadership.
However, everything has two sides, there will be some of disadvantages of having your own business. The first is that he must be having responsibility for everything, whether the business is doing well or badly, so they will face greater pressure. And starting a business requires a lot of money.
7.Share one or more of your minor stories with us.
I say something minor stories in my life.
When I was twelve years old, I had a serious illness and the doctor told my parents, ’your daughter can not go to school everyday and she should be hospitalized for observation’. So my parents decided to let me have remained off school for a whole year. And the next year, I want to another school to continue my study.
Maybe for other it is very common, but it has a great influence on my life.
In this school, have a math teacher, I think she is one of my best teacher. She love every student, even if the student don’t good at study. When I came to this school, I was not good at study. But, under her encouragement my grade gradually improve.
And also in this school, I know my best friends. Beginning of high school, we don’t study in the same class. But now, our relationship is still very good.
So I think the minor story have a great change for me.
8.Share your experience with some home remedies with us.
Now I say something about home remedies. And I think some home remedies are very effective. Then I give some examples about home remedy.
The first is that ,if you caught in the heavy rain, and In order to avoid catching a cold, you can take a big cup of hot ginger.
The second is that, If you have been bitten by a mosquito or other insect, feel special to itch, you can constantly rubbing with salt in itchy place.
And another home remedy is that, if you have catch a cough, you can eat some stewed Pear with loquat leaf and Rock Candy.
In my opinion, these methods are very useful in many cases.
9.Talk about and share the possible ways of protecting some
endangered animals.
Now I say something about the possible ways of protecting some endangered animals.
First, I think study hard is a very important way of protecting endangered animal. Because we need science and technology to help us to do lots of things. For example, we need better weapons to fight with poachers.
The second, I think the poachers should be punished in law. If we do it like this, the hunters will become fewer and fewer. We also need to protect the environment so that animals can have a good living environment. The more we cut these down, the endangered animals can survive.
And we must let the public know that protecting the animals is necessary to achieve the continuity of social development and protect ourselves.

How did you get here? Did it take long? * I came here by bus. It took me about an hour. Where is your hometown? (Are you from Beijing? Which part of Beijing are you from? Tell me something about your hometown. How do you like your hometown?) * Well, Beijing is my hometown. Beijing is the capital of China. It is both an ancient city and a modern city. It is also an international city. It is developing very fast. I like Beijing very much. There are many foreign companies in Beijing. So in the near future, if I want to have a job in these companies, I have to be good at English. How long have you lived in Beijing?

1.Is it possible for a woman to be a successful mother and have a successful professional career? Should society encourage or discourage women from combining the two? Yes， I think a woman can be a successful mother and have a successful professional career but it is a little difficult. Because women usually are the caregivers for husbands, children and, often, for ageing parents. And even in full-time employment, they are expected to continue to play this role. But I don’t think the two are conflicted. Society should encourage women from combining the two, because man and woman are equal. It is not just mothers’ obligation to care for the children. On the other hand, how difficult to find a job for a divorced woman in such a high-divorce society? Both men and women should learn to balance their work and family. 2. Should University students focus on their specialized areas or fundamental courses? I think university students should focus on their fundamental courses. Specialized areas are based on fundamental courses. For example, how can you build a tall building without a solid foundation? The same is true of learning. Usually the knowledge we learned in university are disjointed from development of society. So when we are applying for jobs after graduation, we may find the professional knowledge we have is out of date. It will be difficult to learn new things without a solid foundation. Despite all the apparent changes, what remains essentially the same are the fundamental courses. I believe fundamental courses are the roots of great innovation. 3.Should students choose their majors to meet their personal needs and interests or the need of society? I think students should choose majors to meet the need of society. Here are some reasons. First, from a personal perspective, the ultimate aim of going to college is to find a job and make money. So what we need to think about is how to meet the requirements of society and enterprises. Only in this way can we find a job easily so that we can realize our value. If we only consider personal needs and interests when choose majors, we are likely to fail to find a job after graduation.

Create a conversation with your partner(s) and exchange your personal views on campus love. Topic 2: Communication Problems Directions: Misunderstandings are very common in our daily lives.

Are there any examples in your daily life that support your point of view? Create a conversation with your partner(s) and exchange your opinions on misunderstandings between men and women. Topic 3: Winning and Success Directions: Have a discussion with your partner(s) about winners in your eyes. Do you have your personal hero? What accounts for his/her success?
英语口语考试话题范例
What do you think is the most serious challenge of living in a big city? With the development of economy, the speed of urbanization of our country is faster and faster. The area of cities is larger and larger. More and more people crowd into cities, resulting in larger and larger population of citcities. The abundance of consumer goods in big city indeed bring us much convenience. However, there are also many challenges and pressures living in a big city. Such as crowded transport, dirty air, noisy street and so on. Among these challenges, I believe, the most serious one is the tense pace of life. To get enough consumer goods and live a happy life, We have to work every day to make money. We get up early in the morning and go to work in a hurry even no time to have breakfast. After a day,s busy work, we go home at night and go to sleep. We spend half of our time to work even forget to stop to enjoy our life. Sometimes I think that we are so stupid to devote ourselves to work and forget the purpose we work for. But most of time, we have to do so. So that is the reason for my view. Say something about the impact of horror films on young children. When it comes to horror films, opinions vary from person to person. It is the same to young children. I believe horror films have both positive and negative impact on young children, the point depend on the attitudes of children on horror films. Horror films indeed excite us greatly compared with other films. For children like horror films, watching horror films is an interesting adventure. Kids who always watch horror films would have more curiosity on the world and life. This results that children watching horror films have the spirit of exploration and innovation. However, for those timid and do not like horror films, watching horror films may make them have nightmares. What is worse, it may lead to psychological illness and make them more timid, resulting them afraid of trying unfamiliar things. So it is concluded that if children like horror films, they are admitted to watch them, if they do not like, do not force them to watch. What factors influence you most in your choice of a job? With the increasing of population of our country and the diversification of economy, it is becoming more and more difficult for our young to find a satisfactory job. Too many factors affect us to

In my opinion, acquiring academic achievements is indispensable part in my life, because I enrich my knowledge, learn to do research. But seeking work experience is more important for me. I think I should put my knowledge into my work. 4.What do you think of blind date? （你是怎样理解一见钟情的） They don’t know each other, but they have the sam e goal—in order to get married. That is funny and uncredible . Maybe it is a chance to make a friend or become a stranger. 5.What’s your opinion about human cloning? (对于无性繁殖你有什么看法！？) I am against the human cloning, because we are suppose to be unique and different in each way. It isn't natural and i also do not like the fact about test tube babies. 6.Could you explain the saying: In wine there is truth? （你能解释格言: 酒后吐真言） In wine there is truth. （酒后吐真言。）Wine in, truth out. （三杯下肚，真话出口。）Out of the mouths of babies and drunks comes the truth. 7.Could you tell something about the possible causes for generation gap? （你能讲一将可能引起代 沟的原因吗？） One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. The speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between generations. 8.Tell us something about DINK family and nuclear family? （能向我们介绍一下关于丁克家庭和小家 庭吗?） DINK family means double income no kids family.

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. Second, we have to be humble enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly win other's respect, not to mention "friendship" . Finally, we must not be selfish. We should learn how to show concern for others. As long as we abide[?'ba?d] by what is mentioned above, we will find it easy to get along well with others.
Topics for Oral test 1. 2. Which great leader do you admire most? What qualities did/does he/she have? bill gates 3. 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 ou r 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. 4. 5. 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 an d live in big cities because big cities offer so many opportunities and a higher salary while small cities can’t.
一、Want to be famous? why or why not Nowadays, it is a competitive world, every one of us is trying to get something through our every efforts. One big thing among them, is fame. However, is fame that important for everyone? I don't think so. As far as I am concerned, there are several reasons may accounting for my opinions. Firstly, the thing that really matters for a man is the process of your trying , but not the result you end up with. So from this aspect, being famous is not very necessary for us .Secondly, we are decided by nobody else but you yourself. The things that others said about you are only the "marks" they put on you, you should decide who you are by your own heart and soul. So , being famous is not a right attitude towards life. Last but not least, being famous will be bothered now and then by some people who only want to earn things from you. Nobody want to lose the feeling of "free"! Indeed, fame can earn something for us, but we may lose more. I will always follow my own aim and live in the world of my own! 二、The power of a good name(好名声) The power of a good name does play an important part in our daily life .Good Fame can Bring More Opportunities to a man who has a good fame, he will meet more opportunities.If he is notorious, of course he will lose a bunch of opportunites.In our social life, we will meet a lot of incidents, some of them are others giving you the surprises, some are depressed events that make you sorrow. For example, if some group wants holding a party, if you had a good reputation, lots of people want to invite you to, if you were notorious, no one wants you to go,

大学英语听说IV级口语考试题目（十三周考试用） 1.Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. If you were to travel, would you want to be with a companion or alone? Some might say they would want to travel alone. However, I have an opposite opinion. I think it is better to travel with a companion for the following reasons, they can give us information about the place, we won’t feel boring if we travel together, and we can have opportunities to meet more people through a companion. People travel around some places to get information about the specific areas. To get the information about the place, we need a guide. If we hire a guide, we should pay money and we will somewhat not be free to go anywhere. Despite that, if we travel with friends, they could tell us about it as a guide. We can save money and get some information about the place that we visit. In addition, we could be free to go anywhere we want. As t o the second point, if we travel with friends, we wouldn’t fell tedious while traveling. We can talk to each other and get chances to know each other more. On the other hand, traveling alone could make us feel down because it is quite boring to hang around by themselves. Thus, I would prefer traveling with a companion to alone. Besides, the second point, if we travel with a companion, we can get more opportunities to meet other people through my friends. For example, when I was 10 years old, I went to china. I have met a lot of people through my friend there and I’m still keeping in touch with them. If I didn’t go to china with my friend, I could have not met them in my life. This is the final reason why I think it is better to travel with friends rather alone. To conclude, some people might say it is better to travel alone because it might interrupt us if we travel with a companion. Nevertheless, I think it would be better to travel with a companion for the previous reasons, they can tell us some information about the place, we can enjoy more because it’s not boring, and we could get opportunities to meet many people through friends. 2.Some people like to do only what they already do well. Other people prefer to try new things and take risks. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. Many people like to do things that they already do well, many others like to take risks to do things new. Both sides are supported by good reasons. For my part, I think it depends on what kind of things that people in the face of. I prefer to do things that I already do well when I should do things to benefit the others. On the other hand, I would like to take risks to try something new in order to improve myself, that means I will be the person who benefit from what I do. People are all live in the society and have relationships with each other. So what one do can influence the others directly or indirectly. In this case, people should do their best to benefit and convenient for the others. If one does not have enough experience and skills to do things well, the people around them maybe complain or they will ruin their plan. Is it very nice to share their own risks to the others to get more experience for themselves? Absolutely not. The society or the small
