A:I don’t agree with you. Everyone makes mistakes. If a driver is charged with a misdemean，he will get angry.Then it will increase the possibility of being involved in an accident and the effect of a traffic ticket does not last long.

B: Limited road capacity and people’s weak awareness of traffic laws contribute largely to the problem. To solve the traffic problem, many people have put forward many solutions ? Do you think what we should do to make traffic better?

A:One is to lay down more roads, which will make the highways less crowded and accelerate the flowof traffic. Another is to open up more bus routes, which will enable more people to take buses rather than ride bikes or drive cars, thus decreasing the number of cars and bikes racing on the streets. B:I don’t agree with you. Both of your suggestions have disadvantages. The former may occupy too much land, which may be otherwise put to better uses. The latter, on the other hand, will bring inconvenience to those who are living far away from the bus routes.

A:What’s you opinion ?

B:The best solution, in my opinion, seems to be the combination of the two：build more roads in places where land is less useful, and at the same time increase the number of public bus routes.Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.

B:Oh,it is really very dangerous. Why is driving while talking on a cellphone so dangerous? American researchers have shown that language interferes with visual tasks and speaking is more taxing on the brain than listening

A:It's really an attention problem.Talking or preparing to speak was more distracting than listening.It's easy to be distracted and let your attention wander when one drives while talking on the cellphone.

B:Yes,those talking on the cellphone while driving are more sluggish .In addition , talking on the cellphone can reduce reaction time and reduce picking up speed after braking.

A: I think that driving talking on the phone is also different from talking to someone in the car.One must concentrate one's attention on listening to what the other says,so it increase the chance of being involved in an accident.

B:In a word ,it is extremely dangerous for those drive while talking on the cellphone. To ensure your and other's safety, please observe traffic rules and don’t talk on the cellphone while driving.

A:I believe that there are two major reasons why campus suicide is more common nowadays.For one thing,competition is becoming more and more fierce，so they are faced with great pressure from peers，parents’expectation，job market，and so on. For another，they fail to adjust to the environment，so they are full of feelings of depression and hopeless.

A:We should work to minimize the number of suicide because life is a precious gift and life is too precious to lose.Now what friends，families or teachers should do to intervene？

think so？

英语口语考试个人话题

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.

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

英语口语考试话题常用展开方式

英语口语考试话题常用展开方式 （一）枚举法 枚举法也叫列举法，用这种方法扩展话题，首先提出论点，然后列举一系列论据或原因对主题进行论证或阐述。请看下面一段语段： There are two reasons why I have decided to attend our university. First of all, there is the question of money, our university’s tuition fee is reasonable, and I don’t even have to pay it all at once. This is very important, since my father is not a rich man. With the deferred payment plan, my father will be able to pay my tuition without too much difficulty. The second reason is the fine education I will receive in management, my chosen field. For some well-known experienced managers are hired as visiting professors in our university. Moreover, our university requires all students to gain practical experiences by working in a company. 说话人在论述选择上该大学的原因时，首先提出论点：“我选择上该大学出自两个理由”，接着列举了学费和教育两个方面，来对该论点进行论证。两个论据通过连接短语first of all和the second reason贯通在一起。在论证第二方面的原因时，又从两方面进行阐述，即：该大学管理系聘请了最好的有经验的管理专家担任访问教授并为学生求学期间提供实习机会。Moreover是连接词，将这两层意思连接起来。 表示枚举的常见过渡性连接词语有：first, second, third; in the first place, in the second place; first of all, first and foremost; to begin with, to start with; for one thing, for another; also, besides, furthermore, moreover, in addition, what is more; above all; next; beyond that; initially; eventually, finally, last but not least等。用枚举法来扩展话题，可以帮助考生迅速理清思路，同时使论述的内容层次分明，脉络清楚。 （二）描述法 描述法是话题扩展的一种常用手段，语段描述一般都是描述人、地方或物品的某个特点，并且语段的主题句往往表达说话人的总体印象。请看下面一段人物描写： The most fascinating person I know is Xiaoming, a friend of mine. Xiaoming has many unusual characteristics you would not guess from his physical appearance. He is probably the shortest and thinnest man that I know. Nevertheless, he is the best athlete in our school. Moreover, he is also a wonderful storyteller.

大学英语口语考试试题-10个口语话题(期末)汇编

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.
