20.Hope for the Best and Prepare for the WorstHope is the most inspiring spirit in the world. Hope is just like a bright light shining all through the life.So hope for the best before you start your work. Hope provides us with full confidence, which is the key to success. Believe “I can”, and you will be highly motivated to achieve higher goals. It’s no wonder that what is impossible can sometimes be turned possible.However, hope alone means nothing when you make no efforts. As life cannot be foreseen, nobody can be sure to achieve all his goals. We have to make full preparations to greet the coming challenge. Sometimes, hard as we try, we still cannot make it. In this case, we should adjust ourselves and get ready to recover from the failure. Having prepared for the worst, we’ll never feel regretful.Combine hope and preparation, and you’ll find that success is close to you. The saying “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst”is really a philosophy of life.As human beings, we should be optimistic so as to lead a better life. So whenever we are in face of anything, we should see it in the bright light. As we do so, we will find ourselves filled with confidence when encountering a difficulty, with energy when meeting a challenge, and with enthusiasm when competing with a rival. Why can we act like that? Because we have hope, and we hope that the result will always be the best one. But does it mean that we are optimi stic blindly? The answer is absolutely “no”. Only when w e have done enough preparations for the worst situation we will be in can we have the hope. As Chinese old saying goes, “Ever ything goes well if prepared, otherwise goes wrong.” When we have done what we should have done in advance, what else should we wor ry about?In a word, to hope for the best and to prepare for the worst is what an optimistic and wise person should do.Oral English test Practice19.What can we do to enrich our recreational activities on campusGenerally speaking,learning is the first mission on campus.However,we also have much part-time during which we can enrich our life.1、You can do some outside reading which can be whatever you like.Entertainment magzines、biography of famous people、literary articles like <<gone with the wind>>、work of art、scientific writings and so on.It doesn`t matter whether it is relate to what you learn in formal classes.Just want to have fun.When I was in junior middle school,I liked reading some books about exploration.The one called <<exploration on the alps>> impressed me most.When I was in senior high school,I`d like to read the latest astronamics magazine every week.Now I suggest <<Selected English Article For Recitation>> is a good choice.There are different kinds of articles in it,which will teach you a lot about life!When you do some reading,”your own imagination works along with the author`s or even goes beyong his.Your experience,compared with his , brings you to the same or different conclusions,and your ideas develop as you understand hi s.””In the long run , you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself , too.”2、See some films! You can understand more about life and learn native languages and the foreign culture and custom.Now I`m crazy about <<Prison Break>>. Yet I know many people had saw it long before, but I haven`t finished now. There are plenty of wonderful words and moving scenes! If you want to learn some oral crude words , <<Erin Brockovich>> can give you the answer!(Yet I just kidding now!)You may find it that what I have mentioned above is concerned with study. There are also many activities having nothing to do with so-called narraw sense study.1、You can take part in some association according to your hobby or strong suit, which will have you making acquaintance with different kinds of people.2、To be a volunteer sounds great.You can gain happiness through helping others.3、It will be a usefull experience to do some part-time jobs to get closer to the society in advance after graduation.4、It`s known to all that doing some sports will be of great benefit to our health.Playing basketball.football.snooker or running,It all depends on what what you like. Besides ,we can go out to have dinner together or go to the KTV to sing up. We can go outing in spring to take photos or paint and have a snowball fight in winter.There are so many activities we can do to enrich our daily life on campus , so we ought to have been happy.18.Which do you think is more important for university students, practical skills or theoretical knowledge?Firstly, .Theoretical knowledge is beneficial to the society. Theory study is providing powerful tools for us to deal with the world around us as well as the body within ourselves.Secondly, theoretical findings pave ways for more advanced scientific as well as social studies. Take mathematics for example. Many people are under the impressions that advanced mathematical study in university is so theoretical that it does not have any practical value. However, the truth is that, ours is an age in which all areas of science are permeated more and more by methods and approaches derived from theoretical knowledge in mathematics. Even marketing, once believed to be just an art of persuading people to buy, is now becoming a scientific subject based on statistical studies of market data, which requires profound mathematical knowledgeThirdly, Practical skills are based on theoretical knowledge. / Practical trainings and theoretical studies are interrelated. Some professions require that people have solid understanding in theoretical knowledge before going into practice in those professions.For example, to be a qualified doctor, someone will have to first learn theoretical knowledge at a medical school for a few years, then at the final years at the school, he or she will be given chance to practice in a hospital to gain practical experience. Only with a combined knowledge both in theory and in practical skills can a person truly become a successful doctor. The same goes with a number of other professions such as lawyers, psychiatrists etc.We have specialized schools such as polytechnic schools and vocational schools etc. which can provide practical trainings, for example schools specialized in teaching cooking skills. Therefore university students should focus more on theoretical knowledge.Oral English test Practice16.Actions speak louder than wordsThe sentiment behind the saying actions speak louder than words is expressed in many cultures. There are certainly references to sayings like it in antiquity, but it may have been first expressed in English in the 1700s. The first reference in English very similar to it is in the book Will and Doom, written by Gersham Bulkeley in 1692, who speaks of actions as “more significant than words.”The basic idea of Bulkeley’s, which was not new in expression, is that actions speak louder than words as a greater determina nt of behavior and character. People can say anything, but when what they say and do are contrary, it’s easier to judge by what is done instead of by what is said. The phrase “saying one thing and doing another,” is related to this idea.Another way of looking at this old saying, “actions speak louder than words,” is as a guide for how to live life. Actions should meet verbal obligations or sentiments, and they should not contradict them. If a person constantly talks about the plight of the poor but never thinks of donating to a charity or in any way mitigating that plight, their words have a hollowness or empty quality.Similarly, when people ascribe to certain belief sets, like various religions, that emphasize humility, but then do not act in a humble way, their actions are more telling than their professions of faith. The ca r with the bumper sticker “What would Jesus Do?” that cuts a person off and drives recklessly is sending a dual and contradic tory message. St. Francis noted this in particular when he suggested that people preach the gospel but “use words if necessary.” Hi s idea is that preaching could be active instead of verbal, and that words were secondary to action, and could be expressed in the common phrase, “practice what you preach.”There is actually legitimate and ongoing scrutiny about whether actions speak louder than words all of the time and in all places. Words are important, and people do listen to them. They don’t always wait to judge whether words are backed up with action, though this might be the wiser course.14.Imagination is more important than knowledgeImagination and knowledge are the main factors that drive our minds to keep moving forward, from great artworks in ancient times to the incredibly advanced ideas of modern literature. But what comes first? People have been discussing this question for probably more than a hundred years. In my point of view, only imagination is able to make a difference in artworks and urge inspirations in literature. Imagination plays a more important role than knowledge in creative work because it leads to new ideas and greater knowledge.Leonardo Da Vinci created the most familiar face “Mona Lisa” throughout human history, which attracts people all around the w orld to witness its mystery. We always emphasize the precision or discipline of visual art, but Da Vinci is actually more successful for his galloping imagination than his knowledge. Although lots of painters were as skillful as Da Vinci, his wild imagination and incredible ideas led him to some projects that no one could ever complete and this made him an inventor. When archaeologists were later analyzing some of his sketches, they saw an incredible prototype of an airplane. Sensing the difficulties involved in accomplishing the great dream of flying, this was definitely shocking. In his amazing airplane, we can see how he imagined man as bat to calculate the balance of the flier. Most surprisingly, if it was invented successfully, we might have been able to fly around the world five hundred years earlier! In addition to his airplane, he was also the first man to invent the helicopter and the machine gun. Knowledge is very limited in painting art, while using imagination inspires totally different perspectives. When I think of those great artists, I think of imaginative writers like Isaac Asimov as well.When I first started reading Isaac Asimov’s books, I was shocked indeed. I found them at once to be amazing that his mind was not only so imaginative but also so ahead of his time. In his short novel “The Last Question,” he posits a machine called a “Multivac,” which is able to store data and is believed to be able to answer all questions asked by humans within a few minutes. He also assumes that robots are possible and creates the “three laws of robotics.” Furthermor e, some of these ideas became cemented in modern science, and maybe one day we’ll be able to see more scenes from his fiction come true. Asimov is exemplified not only as a writer who is known for how knowledgeable he is but also as a highly unusual thinker of literature who is known for his ideas.Da Vinci and Asimov are just two examples of people who used imagination to make our world have more meaning. For many artists and writers still working today, imagination is a tool that enables them to think outside the box and create extraordinary work, which also leads to greater knowledge. Knowledge is at any given time limited, and in order to expand it, we need the help of the imagination.Oral English test Practice13.If you keep trying, everything is possibleNothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.We often hear people say, “Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.11.diligence is near successSome people think that success comes from diligence while others agree that success has no link with diligence.From my point of view, diligence can help people succeed and vice versa. There are some reasons as follows.Firstly, most people are biologically endowment with almost the same I.Q. , but some of them get success owing to some important reasons among which it is diligence. For instance, a chinese famous mathematician Chen Jinrun's great achivements is his hard working on math. Secondly, diligence may lead to success while laziness must result in failure. Success means that we fulfill a goal which is challenging、meaningful. If we can not try our best and be industrious to realize the goal, how can we get success? Lastly, If people succeed, they must pay for their efforts and time. Naturally, they will not be satisfied and want to get hold of higher objectives so as to promote themselves in order to achieve their higher ranks or get more profits, etc. .Therefore, they will become more diligent to realize more success. In a word, I hold the view that diligence can help people succeed and vice versa.Oral English test Practice10.Attitude decide everythingI always complain that the other people are luckier than me, but I never try to find out the reasons. Although I know the reasons most of the time, I always avoid to facing them. Indeed, the essential reason is I am too lazy and unable to keep my plans. It is not hard for me to make a study plan, but it is not easy for me to put it into practice. It is no wonder success always belongs to the others. Opportunity is always leaving for the people who have got well ready, and who is not me.I don’t know why I write down these words here, maybe just because I feel guilty now. Every time when I open my eyes on my b ed, the first thing appear in my mind is “can I sleep another several minutes.” Instead of “I should get up now, it is too late.” How can such a person to be successful.I still remember that I used the sentence “where there is a will, there is a way” to be my motto in senior school, especially in the fourth year. At that time, I only had one dream—become a student of South China Normal University. Although my dream didn’t come true finally, which period is the most unfor gettable one in my life so far. Anyway, it is also my great honor to be one member of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. Being a student of GDUFS, which is a big opportunity for me but I haven’t tried to hold it. More than two years have passed, but it seems that I haven’t got anything.How failed I am! Baby, wake up, time is limited, life also not long, don’t wast e your time any longer.Positive attitude is like a pair of eyeglasses correting your spiritual vision,making you only see the goodness of life.Believe that attitude is everything,if you want to possess the thing you want,just choose the positive side!9.Victory wont come to us unless we go to itOral English test Practice 8.University rules and regulationOral English test Practice 7.Learning EnglishOral English test Practice 3.Your life in the university。

Explain which is more important to you Love or money?Love Is More Important Than MoneyWhen asked money and love which one is more important, different people have different ideas. As for me, love is more important. My reasons are as follows.First, money can not buy true love. A girl who said that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle . From this point we can see that, no matter how rich people are, they cannot buy true love.Second, love is above wealth. "Naked" wedding is a hot topic these days. More and more young people begin to marry each other without a big property. In these cases, we can know that love is more important than money.All in all, love is far more important than money. Provided that we lose wealth, we may regain it by working hard. But if we lose love, it will be impossible to make up for it.3. What are the best qualities of your best friend?My best friend is Tom.

As we all know, it is these short term goals that make our long-term goal possible. Second, we should be both perseverant and hardworking. Whatever we do, there are always two possibilities: success and failure. We should never lose heart when we come across difficulties or when we face with failure. Instead, we should learn from our experience, build up our confidence and work even harder and smarter towards our purpose. Third, we should follow the examples of those who are successful and learn from them. Finally, we should try to get along well with our classmates and colleagues.
