Topics for Oral test1. Which great leader do you admire most? What qualities did/does he/she have?bill gates2.3. Which do you cherish more, your friendship with a good friend or your romanticrelationship? 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.4.5. What factors would you consider first if you were to find a job (even a part-timejob)? 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 andits 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.6. Whom do you usually turn to when in trouble, vour parents or your friends? Theyknow me better than anyone else and their vision is wide, their thoughts are mature.They can give me better suggestion. Parents are people who love us most and will never be unwilling or too busy to listen to me and give me a hand. However, friends may be busy with study or can’t figure out my situation clearly. What’s more, always asking them for help perhaps will make them become inpatient.7.8. Nature or Nurture: which plays a more important role in a person’s success,biological factors or environmental factors? I do think the environmental factors are vital for one’s success. There are so many things we have to learn on this earth. You probably have some nature talent but if the environment doesn’t provide you the platform to show and make the most use of it, it means nothing. Environment can havea very strong impact on a person through out the life. Live with A level students, we willbe influenced to learn better. 1 percent talent and 99 percent hard working. We can be easily affected9.10. How do you get along with your roommates? What do you do when conflicts withyour roommates come in the way? (interpersonal relationships) bring them homemade food. Having meals and going shopping together clean the dorm regularly.I’ll firstly let myself calm down and figure out whether it’s my fault or her fault, if it’s my fault, I will break the freezing atmosphere and say sorry. If it’s her fault, I will11.12. What are your hobbies? What do you think of some students who spend far toomore time on their hobbies than on their schoolwork?13.14. A lot of young people like fast food, esp. things like hamburgers andFrench fries. What is you attitude to the phenomenon? I really don’t agree to take fast food so frequently, because there are way too much oil, meat and fewer vegetables in it. I’m worried about its nutrition. It’s an unbalance way of eating. I love McDonald’s and KFC as well but I understand that they are fairly unhealthy. Sometimes I do go to eat there if I have a very strong feeling of having it. But in most time, I will persuade myself just stop here, stop at thinking of it.16. Would you like to further your education abroad, if it were possible? Give yourreasons. ( studying at home or abroad) I really want to study abroad in the future, in fact, I’m preparing for TOFEL no w. the first reason is that the education in western country have a pretty high quality and the facility and resources in university is abundant.Second reason is that I would like to take this chance to have a close look at western country and culture, and broaden my horizon. Another reason is that I can learn to be independent and do all stuffs by myself.17. Describe your life at college with your partners. What aspects about college lifedo you like the best? More free to study by myself, more spare time I can arrange in order to focus on my robot team. I love making robots and attend all kinds of competitions. In this way, I can concentrate on learning robot making. Another aspect I like is that I can decide which course I would like to take. I even enrolled in some courses related to robot.。

1.“Habit is a second nature. Habit is ten times nature.” Do youagree ? Why?It has been rightly said that habit is a second nature. That is what we do often today will soon become a part of our natural self tomorrow. For habit, whether good or bad, is the basis of character and a man is regarded by society according to his habits and disposition.We should never disregard the importance of habit. Some are in the habit of forgetting to do things or of mislaying things. Some have a habit for being always late. Some always give up a job after the first attempt. Some are habitual late-risers; others are always slow; habit causes loss to oneself and irritates others.I still remember a case which is unforgettable to me. It was duringthe summer vacation. After my shopping from the supermarket, I couldn't find my key when I arrived at home and began to do my homework. Being anxious and worried, I began to research each corner of my room for the key. And I even looked for it in everyoneplace of my house where I had passed. However, all that I did came to be vain and I wasted my whole morning in this meaningless thing otherwise I should have finished my homework.Finally, being depressed and frustrated, I told it to my parents and had the preparation of being criticized for my carelessness. It isnot out of my expectation that my parents blamed me, nevertheless my mother gave the key to me which I thought it was lost. She told me that I had forgotten to take it away after inserting it into the lock hole, and instructed me to be more careful in my daily life. Definitely this case indeed gives me alesson that I ought to be careful, and it also makes me recall a typical case which reflect the importance of habit. I think we must make automatic and habitual ,as early as possible,as many useful actions as we can .Because more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody of automatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper and important work.2.Some people think “I speak both languages”equals “I’m agood translator”，Do you agree with them?I don’t agree with the ideal.The translator is a bridge betweenthe two languages.The translator's task is to create conditions under which the source language author and the target language reader can interact with one another. It is known to all thata good translator’s talentlies in being good with languages. They must have abilities to handle both languages very skillfully,which is the basic requirement for a translator.But it was not enough to become a good translator. Translation is a complicatedandchallenging work. Firstly, as a translator, you are expected to be an expert in translating each individual text.You have to be able to read as well as a critic and write as well as a writer.Secondly, a good translator should be familiar with the culture, customs, and social settings of the source and target language speakers. He should also be familiar with different registers, styles of speaking, and social stratification of both languages.In addition,a good translator should be patient. It is a work taking much time. You cannot act like a child.Today you are happy, and you translate several paragraphs; tomorrow you are unhappy, and you cannot put your heart into it. A translator must be sure that heis in good condition and not be influenced by emotion. In my opinion, translation is a silent work. So a good translator shouldn’t be afraid of loneliness andremaining nameless.Oppositely, he should love this situation and shoulder the responsibility readily.3.Is the work of translation easy or difficult？What is yourproblem while doing translation?I think translation is extremely difficult for me.I know my proficiency level in English is very low, so i will not try a work of translation, unless it is in the Englishexamination.First of all, thebiggest problem is that my vocabulary is very limited; therefore I often don’t understand what the author’s idea exactly,not to mentionfinding the right and appropriate words to express the author’s meaning. Secondly, lack of discourse management strategies;I feel that the original meaning of the text has been changed after my translation.Finally, I don't understand the social background of the original work.I easily put my personal ideas and the imagination into them.Although there are some difficulties in my learning English, but I will continue to work hard and continue to solve my own problems.4. The brainwashing song Little Apple is so popular that it can be heard here and there recently. Some readily dance to the music while others turn up their nose at it. What do you think of the song?Called "brainwashing pop song" by many, Little Apple has become popular overnight in China like Gangnam Style or Tante in the recent past. Like any other brainwashing song, it is simple and easy on rhythm with straightforward but meaningless lyrics and fast paced. I really love this song. First of all, I think one of the main functions of music is to bring happiness to people and this song really makes people relaxed and takes their minds off troubles. It can be quickly learned and easy to follow even devoted to the practical work. It canbe called a sense of the work song. Secondly, I think the lyrics of this song are very enthusiastic, expressing bold love to the lover. If this song was vulgar, that many other songs may have been group of vulgar. Finally, this song has no error values on publicity, also does not mislead the mass. I think that it’s necessary to have elegan t and meaningful music, and they will be the classics of the times and cast a long shadow. While, we also need some simple and crude folk songs which can satisfy the common and natural needs of everyone. Diversification and Inclusiveness is always good for our society.5. What are the major problems in China’s high education system? How do you think we should address them?Now, Chinese higher education systems, which were established since the reform in 1977, have been carried out, and have been developed for more than 20 years. When we review and meditate upon this system, we can find out some negative phenomenon. I have much of my opinions on Chinese higher education and have strong feeling in expressing my opinion.The following questions remain in the current Chinese higher education: As we know, a good education should train students to think for themselves, but the value outlook of traditional education pays much attention to the examination system.A student can or can’t gain credits and graduate is due to weather he or she can pass the allkinds of tests designed by school or other institutions.Thus not only can’t motivate studen ts to learn widely and develop their interests and passion for their major but also deprive the students’ freedom.Another problem in higher education is that there is less relationship between the theories and practices.What we have been learning now in a lot of time is the knowledge of the theories, which maybe underlie the students of the basic knowledge, but at the same time, it also makes students lose a lot of opportunities to discover and implement patterns by themselves in practice, and in the end leads them to be unfamiliar to realistic development of social environment.The third problem is therprevalent administrativization and bureaucratization in many universities.There are some officials who often do not have an academic background, yet they make decisions on issues ranging from setting majors, curriculum planning and performance evaluation to the distribution of funds. And it is well-known that many academics pay more attention to cultivating ties with influential officials to secure their career development than to serious scholarship, as the prevalent bureaucratisation has fuelled the desire for official ranks even among academics. Students are also affectedby these trends .They lose the qualities which as equally important to a person as the person's academic achievement and friendsourcingare her sense of self-worthiness, self-respect, herability to think critically and independently, her ethic standard, and her commitment to her civic responsibilities as a citizen of her country. These are aspects of life that a mere degree in higher education cannot offer to its recipient.The ideal modern university is one with academic freedom, institutional autonomy, and governance by professors and students. There needs to be a reasonable relationship between the education providers, educators and those being educated. Based on these standards, there is really no true modern university in our country at the moment.So higher education shouldfind some equilibrium pots among universities, government and society on the one hand, and on the other, set up equilibrium between economic interest and moral civilization. Only if higher education in China sets up the equilibrium and keeps it well, society would find the graduate students it needs and the graduate students could find their appropriate position in society, and real masters would arise in the future.6. What do you think college students should learn from their college experience?Time spent at a university is a most worthwhile period in a young person's life.This is a time when a student begins to form his or her ideas about life in general.During the four years,he not onlydevelops his academic intellectual abilities, but also develops social skills as well as knowledge and wisdom necessary for choosing a future career.I think that the most important we should learn in college isIndependent thinking. We need to establish the value system of our own, instead of being good boy or girl in the eyes of parents. The foremost objective in college life is not acquiring knowledge and academic skills, but to find your true passion, theidealitywhich you can pursuit during lifetime, and plan for the implementation of each step.In process of search, pursuit and realization, you will naturally understand what knowledge and ability you need, and you will naturally exercise these capabilities. I have ever met many college students who don’t know their own interests and what they really what to do,just following the crowd in different ways.When they faced with graduation, they attributethe confusion, vacantness, and helpless feeling tothe inevitable pain of youth. Eventually, the cost of all this forsocietyisthe simplification of social value orientation and money worship.Because the driving force of social progress don't know what theyreally want. For that reason, I believe that thinking independently and realizing what is the way to be your future life is foremost affairs that the college student should learn from college experience.7. What role does mass media play in our life？How much will itaffect people’s decision?The mass media plays extensi ve role in an individual’s daily life. There is no doubt that the mass media can influence the way that people’s behavior. Advertising is one of the most fundamental and typical way, where consumers are brought into buying what they are shown to be good or popular, with their decisions based on what they saw on television, newspapers or internet. Advertisers can promote, exploit the demands or even produce the needs of people. For example, since 2010online retailers have transformed theSingles' Day, also known as "Double 11" into an epic online shopping extravaganza akin to America's Cyber Monday.On that day you may don’t have much shopping demand, but under the overwhelmingadvertising campaigns, you might unknowingly buy a lot of things online not in the budget and spend lots of money beyond expected.Meanwhile it should be recognized that the mass media canpropagateinformation,changing people’s minds and guide st year,mass media reported many times that mainland touristswere discriminatedand suffered from unfair treatment in Hong Kong.As a result,the number of Chinese travelling abroad during Last Spring Festival went up 10 percent, but the number visiting Hong Kong fell for the first time over the past 20 years because of anti-mainland sentiment. In summary, the media role of informationprovider should be acknowledged and it can greatly affect people’s decisions and action.8. Do you like travelling? Can you share with us the most interesting or unforgettable experience during your travel?I love traveling. Last summer vacation, I went to Hainan. Going to Hainan for one week was a very enjoyable and excited experience for me. I have experienced a lot of things for the first time.In haikou, the sky is also brighter and clearer than that I had ever seen and the climate is totally different from that in Changsha.It was warm there and we could see coconut trees everywhere. I visited the tomb of Hairui, an officer in Qing dynasty who was famous for rectitude andincorruptness. I think he should be the role model of everyofficials. I also went to Boao where is famous for its forum. It was my first time to admirethe sea and the beach in the sunshine. I could clearly see the ocean wavesbreaking on the shore. The ship would lie there mirrored in a perfectly unmoving glossy sea.Tourists sunbathe and frolic in the ocean. Sunshine, beach and seawater, what a joyous and restful holiday!I can’t forget this trip, not only does it give me a lot of joy, relaxation and good memory, but also it give me a chance and time to think about myself and what I want out of life.9. Nowadays, people, especially the youth, like to follow andimitate celebrities.Do you have some tips for them?Nowadays,star-worship is popular among people,especially the youth.However, blindly worshipping and imitatingcelebrities is a kind of irrationalbehavior.To tell the truth，I am a fan of AKB48 but I am not crazy. According to my experience, there are some tips for these youth: Firstly,We can’t be a blindly fanboy or fangirl.Following an idol is not regarding him as a God .He is not your motivation of catfight, either.It is his life you see that you will never live forever.And that person will be very seriously go ahead carrying your dream. Only such a person can be an idol.What you worship should be truly character rather than appearance. Secondly,don't lavish too much time and money on these things. Star-worship should not become your whole life. I think that the cost should not be more than 10% of your expense. Thirdly,abandon the narrow perspective. Your classmate and friend may worship different idols;we can’t force others to accept our own preferences.For example,I like mayuyu-a member of AKB48 but one of my roommatelikes Huachenyu very much who is a littlesilly in my opinion.But we never say onebad wordabout our idols each other. Last but not least,be good at absorbing the positive experience from the idol and don't lose yourself because you can only be yourself.10. Are you fond of travelling? For what purpose do you usually travel?I love travelling. Travel is a good way to refresh and broaden my horizon. During the travel, I can turn off mobile phone and keep away from the Internet; forget my work, study and just enjoy the leisure time. From the moment when I start journey, all the trifles should be locked at my house. Travel is a window for me to know a different world. I have opportunity to meet various people and experience different cultures. It is inevitable that through these experiences i will learn a lot about myself. The ideal that whoi am as a person and what i want out of life might very well be changed.We all get a limited amount of time on this Earth, and no one knows when it will come to an end.As Mark Twain said“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”I really don’t want to stay in the same town or city formywhole life, without meeting new people, tasting new foods and seeing and experiencing life as others do.11. On Saturday evening,fireworks are set off on the Orange Isle from May to October every year. It has become a must for tourists to Changsha to watch the fireworks. On the other hand, environmentalists are lobbyingto put an end to this practice. What’s your opinion on this issue?As far as I'm concerned, it’s unrealistic to put an end to thispractice although it has produced a lot of air pollutantsand causedserious traffic congestion with the cost ofa huge amount of money. Fireworkshas been one of the famous travel brandfor Changsha and caused great economic effect and long-lasting social effect.It is reported thatevery Orange Island fireworksattracted an average of 150 thousand people to watch in 2013. At present tourist receipts has grown by35%, and the 97% of tour groups arrangedfor Orange Island fireworks. It has already become a part of cultural construction and an important step towards internationalization of Changsha. In other time, I think that fireworks were set off 30times this year was too much. It may bore the local audiences like me. I think we can conduct SuperFireworks Show in summer every year concluding several activities such as firework;music concert;Outdoor Play and Food Festivalat the same time just like a grand ceremonyinstead of increasing times to set off the fireworks.Meanwhile we couldcelebrate the festivals in summer likeDouble Seventh Festival or Children’s day.Above is only my individual viewpoint.12. What does “happiness” mean to you? What is the best thing happened on you during the last ten years?Happiness is very difficult to define, because it means so many different things to different people.While some people link happinessto wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships. Yet others think that spiritual paths,are the only way to true happiness.In my opinion, happiness is doing what I love with someone I like.My happiest timeduring the last ten years is in the fourthyear of my college. I do not have any courses to learn and I spent most of time with my best friend---Chen Yuanyuan. It was the last free time for us and we didn’t do anything special like travelling together. I realized one year later we had to say a temporary goodbye so I really appreciated the leisure time we live together. We shared each other's gossip and feelings and talk about our life, ideals. We even exchanged our views on social issues and imaginedthe future.Almost every day we eat dinner together and took a walk. Even if it is only face to face with the phone or computer, I also feel very happy. Now she is a civil servant in local government, and we still sent messages everyday.13. What differences do you think your college education has made in your life? Say something about them.Time spent in collegewas a most worthwhile period in my life.Thatwas a time when I began to form my ideas about life and found my real passion. College education was not as a product that used to increase my income in that all-important first job ormaximize the return on investment, but as a platform from which I willgenerate some of the most important features in my life. It’s an intermediary,a capacity builder that led to many more things than at any one moment you could possibly know would be useful.During the four years, I had the opportunity and free time to readextensive books and listen to the lectures of top experts in their fields. I took part in a lot of practical activities to understand the world and other different people better. This stimulation and experiences encouragedme to thinkindependently, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which allowed for additional growth and development and providedme with an edge and opportunity to acquire the graduate education.。
