口试复习资料口试复习资料口试是许多考试中的一项重要环节，它要求考生在有限的时间内展示自己的口语表达能力。
为了在口试中取得好成绩，考生需要进行充分的准备和复习。
本文将提供一些口试复习资料，帮助考生更好地应对口试挑战。
一、词汇与短语词汇和短语是口试中的基础。
考生需要掌握一定的词汇量，并能够熟练运用各种短语表达自己的意思。
复习时，可以通过词汇书和短语手册来扩充自己的词汇量，并逐个进行记忆和练习。
同时，可以通过阅读英语文章和听力材料来巩固所学的词汇和短语。
二、口语表达技巧在口试中，除了词汇和短语的运用，考生还需要具备一定的口语表达技巧。
首先，要注意语音语调的准确性，尤其是对于一些常见的发音错误，如音标的读法、元音和辅音的发音等。
其次，要学会运用适当的语法结构和句型，以及恰当地使用连词和过渡词，使自己的表达更加流畅和连贯。
最后，要注意语速和语调的控制，避免讲话过快或过慢，以及单调的语调。
三、话题准备在口试中，考官通常会给出一些话题，要求考生就该话题进行表达。
因此，考生需要提前准备一些常见的话题，并思考如何用英语进行表达。
可以选择一些热门话题，如环境保护、教育、科技等，也可以选择一些个人经历或感兴趣的话题。
在准备过程中，可以列出一些关键词和句子，帮助自己更好地组织语言和思路。
四、模拟练习模拟练习是口试复习中的重要环节。
考生可以找到一些口试模拟题，或者请朋友或老师扮演考官进行模拟口试。
在模拟口试中，考生要注意时间的掌握和答题的准确性。

五、自信与放松在参加口试之前，考生要保持自信和放松的心态。
自信可以帮助考生更好地展示自己的实力，而放松可以减少紧张和焦虑的情绪。
可以通过一些放松的方法，如深呼吸、冥想或听音乐来帮助自己放松。

(20 points)Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university in the world. And so there’re many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example. Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes place at seven o’clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table, which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here.

口语话题：1．Leisure activities( You can talk about :The things you do for fun in your leisure time as college students;The most popular leisures activities for young people and your parentsYour favorite pastimeHow do people spend their leisure time)After stepping into the 21th century, our citizens' life became busier and busier. Under the stressful work and the pressure of the life, most people feel unhappy and tired. So I think we need to have more entertainments in our daily life.I like doing sports in my leisure time. Generally, I would like to play basketball with my friends. Between playing the games, not only our playing skills will be better but also strengthen our friendships. Although after playing a basketball match that I would felt tired, I didn't feel nervous anymore. Furthermore, I like singing too. When I singing in the open air, I felt my heart was losing its weight. And then, I was very happy at that time. What's more, I usually read a book or some essays. When I learnt some new knowledge from the books or the essays, I had a satisfy feeling.Nowadays, the new world is a competitive world. No matter how smart you are, you need a strong body. So when you feel there is something wrong with yourself, no matter physical or psychology. Please put down your work, go outside and do anything what you like.I am sure when you finish your leisure activities, you will feel better.2 Language communicationEntering the 21st century, man is now in an age of information and knowledge. In such an age, interpersonal communication plays an increasingly important role and all people have to communicate with others.Why is interpersonal communication so important? First, it helps people understand each other better. Second, it helps people get more information and knowledge. Third, without interpersonal communication, our life would become a desert of emotion and friendship. Last but not the least, communication between people makes our life lively, interesting and lovely.In a word, humans, as social animals, have to communicate with each other, the importance of which can never be overemphasized.Why is interpersonal communication so important? Interpersonal communication is just like a bridge of understanding between people. For example, it helps students to learn more effectively if one can communicate more with his teachers and classmates. In a family, communication makes the family members understand each other better and get closer. In the workplace, communication between the employer and the employed creates a friendly and helpful working environment.3.Differences between men and womenThere are differences in best practice for teaching girls compared with teaching boys. That doesn't mean that all girls learn one way and all boys learn another way. It DOES mean that there are significant differences in the ways girls and boys learn, differences which are more substantial than age differences in many ways. In other words, a 7-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy differ, on average, on parameters such as "How long can you sit still, be quiet, and pay attention?" Those differences between a same-age girl and same-age boy are larger than differences between, say, a 7-year-old girl and a9-year-old girl. Most American schools segregate kids on the basis of age differences: they put 7-year-olds in one classroom and9-year-olds in another classroom. And yet, the research clearly demonstrates that the sex differences in learning (between a7-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy) are larger than the age differences (e.g. between a 7-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl). Interestingly, the differences appear to be greatest among the YOUNGEST children. If you visit an all-girls kindergarten and then an all-boys kindergarten, you will be struck by how differently the children learn. If you visit an all-girls 12th-grade classroom and an all-boys12th-grade classroom, the differences are much more subtle.Sex differences in learning may derive in part from basic physiological differences, such as differences in the ability to hear, and also from differences in higher-level cortical functions.Let's begin with the innate difference in the ability to hear. Suppose you test the hearing of a seven-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy, in a soundproof booth with high-quality equipment. Scientists who do this work have found that the girl can hear sounds which are softer than the faintest sounds which the typical boy can hear. Girls have a sense of hearing which is subtly better than boys (depending on the frequency tested). This difference is present as early as children can be reliably tested. For example, Erik Berninger of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, demonstrated in 2007, in a study of more than 30,000 newborn babies, that girl babies have an ability to hear which is slightly but significantly better than boys -- and those were newborn babies. Differences in the ability to hear get bigger as kids get older.For a list of scholarly references demonstrating gender differences in hearing, please click on this link.That basic difference in the ability to hear has significant implications for best practices for teaching girls vs. teaching boys. If you have a classroom with a female teacher who is speaking in a tone of voice which seems normal to the teacher, it's possible that some of the boys at the back of the classroom may not be paying close attention, in part because they may not be hearing her as well as the girls.The next level of difference has to do with gender-specific personality traits which affect how children learn. First, a word aboutgender-specific personality traits. In the 1960's and 1970's and even into the 1980's, it was fashionable to assume that gender differences in personality were "socially constructed." Back then, many psychologists thought that if we raised children differently -- if we raised Johnny to play with dolls and Sally to play with trucks -- then many of these gender differences would vanish. However,cross-cultural studies over the past 30 years have provided little support for this hypothesis. On the contrary, a report from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that gender differences in personality were remarkably robust across all cultures studied, including China, sub-Saharan Africa, Malaysia, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Peru, the United States, and Europe (including specific studies in Croatia,the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Yugoslavia and western Russia). "Contrary to predictions from the social role model, gender differences were most pronounced in European and American cultures in which traditional sex roles are minimized," the authors concluded.Source: Paul Costa, Antonio Terracciano, & Robert McCrae, "Gender differences in personality traits across cultures: robust and surprising findings," Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, volume 81, number 2, pp. 322-331, 2001.Educational psychologists have consistently found that girls tend to have higher standards in the classroom, and evaluate their own performance more critically. Girls also outperform boys in school (as measured by students' grades), in all subjects and in all age groups. Sources: Alan Feingold, "Gender differences in personality: ameta-analysis," Psychological Bulletin, volume 116, pages 429-456, 1994. See also the important paper by Diane Ruble and her associates, "The role of gender-related processes in the development of sex differences in self-evaluation and depression, Journal of Affective Disorders, volume 29, pages 97-128, 1993. For documentation of the fact that girls now outperform boys (as measured by report card grades) in all subjects and age groups, see the chapter by Dwyer and Johnson entitled "Grades, accomplishments, and correlates" in the book Gender and Fair Assessment edited by Willingham & Cole, published by Laurence Erlbaum (Mahwah, NJ), 1997, pp. 127-156.Because girls do better in school (as measured by report card grades), one might imagine that girls would be more self-confident about their academic abilities and have higher academic self-esteem. But that's not the case. Paradoxically, girls are more likely to be excessively critical in evaluating their own academic performance. Conversely, boys tend to have unrealistically high estimates of their own academic abilities and accomplishments.Source: Eva Pomerantz, Ellen Altermatt, & Jill Saxon, "Making the grade but feeling distressed: gender differences in academic performance and internal distress," Journal of Educational Psychology, volume 94, number 2, pages 396-404, 2002.We arrive at one of the most robust paradoxes teachers face: the girl who gets straight A's but thinks she's stupid and feels discouraged;the boy who's barely getting B's but thinks he's brilliant. Consequently, the most basic difference in teaching style for girls vs. boys is that you want to encourage the girls, build them up, while you give the boys a reality check: make them realize they're not as brilliant as they think they are, and challenge them to do better.Educational psychologists have found fundamental differences in the factors motivating girls vs. factors motivating boys. Researchers have consistently found that "girls are more concerned than boys are with pleasing adults, such as parents and teachers" (Pomerantz, Altermatt, & Saxon, 2002, p. 397). Most boys, on the other hand, will be less motivated to study unless the material itself interests them. Source: E. T. Higgins, "Development of self-regulatory andself-evaluative processes: costs, benefits, and trade-offs." In M. R. Gunnar & L. A. Sroufe (editors), Self processes and development, Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1991, pp. 125-165. See also the more recent paper by Eva Pomerantz and Jill Saxon, "Conceptions of ability as stable and self-evaluative processes: a longitudinal examination," Child Development, volume 72, pages152-173, 2001.Girls and boys experience academic difficulties very differently. Here are the findings of Eva Pomerantz, Ellen Alterman, and Jill Saxon (2002, p. 402):"Girls generalize the meaning of their failures because they interpret them as indicating that they have disappointed adults, and thus they are of little worth. Boys, in contrast, appear to see their failures as relevant only to the specific subject area in which they have failed; this may be due to their relative lack of concern with pleasing adults. In addition, because girls view evaluative feedback as diagnostic of their abilities, failure may lead them to incorporate this information into their more general view of themselves. Boys, in contrast, may be relatively protected from such generalization because they see such feedback as limited in its diagnosticity."Girls tend to look on the teacher as an ally. Given a little encouragement, they will welcome the teacher's help. A girl-friendly classroom is a safe, comfortable, welcoming place. Forget hard plastic chairs: put in a sofa and some comfortable bean bags. Let the girls address their teacher by her (or his) first name.Context enhances learning for most girls, but often just bores the boys. The choir director of the National Cathedral School for Girls and the St. Alban's School for Boys told us that when he's teaching the high school girls a new song, he'll start by sharing a story about why the composer wrote this piece, who it was written for, or maybe how the choir director himself felt 20 years ago when he goofed the solo part. "Giving the girls some context, telling them a story about the piece, gets them interested. The boys are just the opposite," he said. "If you start talking like that with the boys, they'll start looking at their watches, the y'll start getting restless. Then one of them will say, ‘Can we please just get on with it already? Can we please just learn the song already?'"cational differences between East and West（you can talk about your attitude towards test and the development of creativity）In a society such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they highly value individualism. Their education, as a part of the society, also values this greatly. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to memorize a lot of information. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to form their own ideas and opinions. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not simply to get the correct answer.In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there shows society's value in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat rules and information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.In many ways these differences come from different educational psychology. In western countries teachers are taught to nurture students. They make it easier for the students to learn for themselves. In the Orient, however, teachers often feel that their task is to pass knowledge to students or the students can't learn anything5.
