英语口语考试试题及参考答案

1.How can we keep friendship alive.

Friendship is absolutely crucial for us. We have to do hard work to build up and sustain

friendship. Here are some important ways to keep friendship alive .First of all, let your

friends know that you care about them. If you can't be there at the given moment, say

something like, "I wish I could be with you. May I call you tomorrow? " Be sure your friend

knows she's cared about. Second, try to be with your friends when they are in trouble.

Remember troubled people are most in need of their friends to stay around. The last but

not the least, keeping friendship alive is to say to your friends "I miss you and I love you ".

Remember?

2.Is it right for college students to have tattoos?

Nowadays many college students like to highlight their personalities, to be their own. They

have taken special ways to show their personalities. For example, some college students who are

tattooed think tattooing is cool and shows great personality.

But teachers and parents do not think tattooing is right for students. They believe to be a

student you should dress like a student--no tattoos, of cause. Some people even believe that

those who are tattooed are not good students.

As far as I am concerned, although many people can not accept students’ tattooing, nothing is

wrong with tattooing. College students are grown-ups. They can tell right from wrong. If they want

to be tattooed, just remember to tell them to select clean places, preferably with parental

consents.

3.What do cultural difference mean ? Can you give some examples?

Cultural differences mean differences among people in ways of thinking, life, aesthetic

concepts, social practices, diet and etc.

Let’s talk about, for example, eating habits in different areas. In China, people prefer

vegetables and fruits, for the Chinese believe that such things are rich in vc, which are good to

health. However, western people are more likely to eat meat.

Known as having a good tradition of hospitality , Chinese people always greet their guests

with warm hand. Chinese meal table normally is filled with delicious food, yet the host is used to

saying " I am sorry. I don’t think the food is good enough today" and other courtesies. Host or

hostess sometimes use their chopsticks to take food to the guest’s bowl, which is considered

as a way to show hospitality in China. However, in western countries, people emphasize respect

to individuality. At dinner, people eat whatever they like or we say they eat at their own will.

4.Do you consider your 18th birthday is one of the most important days in your life? Give reasons.

Yes, 18th birthday is considered the most important. Each birthday means a new year. I am

most concerned about my 18th birthday as it is a sign of adulthood, indicating that I am no longer

a child, but one who can try to do things independently and should be reliable for his or her own

actions as an adult. Since my eighteenth birthday, I am entitled to go shopping alone, to travel

alone and to live independently. I still remembered my 18th birthday. After my birthday

celebration, I suddenly felt grown up, both physically and mentally. Birthday to me is an important

turning point, enabling me to learn and think independently. So far as I am concerned about each

birthday, I usually feel better.

5. Is money the most important thing in your life ? If not, what is it?

No, money is not the most important thing in my life. I think the most important thing in life is

love. First, everything is born of love. When a child is born, his parents give him or her lots of love

in creating a healthy environment for him or her. Secondly, what society needs is also love, if

there is no love among members in society, it will become listless apathy. Third, though money

can buy something, it can not give or buy love. Love yourself and you get respect from others.

Give your love and you create a harmonious surroundings for the society. Finally, everyone

knows that friendship is built on love instead of money. Money can’t support ever-lasting

friendship.

6. In what places has smoking already been banned in China? Are you in favor of this policy or

not?

Nowadays in China, smoking is banned in many public places, such as cinemas, threators ,

supermarkets, hospitals, meeting rooms and so on.

As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in favor of this policy. First of all, smoking is bad for

health. And in public places it often leads to second-hand smoking, which is bad for the smoker

as well as people around. Second, if you are talking with a person while you are smoking, what
