1.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Thrift Still A Good Virtue? You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:
1)随着人们生活水平的提高,一些人认为节俭和朴素的生活方式已经过时了;2)但是很多人反对这种说法;
3)你的看法是什么,为什么?
Is Thrift Still A Good Virtue? With the improvement of the living standards, many people are no longer interested in the simple life style and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty.What they pursue is the latest fashion.In their eyes, thrift is already out of style.However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue.They say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited and some of them even are on the decline.Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.As to me, I prefer the latter opinion.I believe “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency.In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving.Besides, there are still millions of Chinese living under poverty line.We can never afford reckless waste.Therefore, it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.2.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Certificate Craze on Campus.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.1)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热” 2)产生这一现象的原因 3)你的看法
Certificate Craze on Campus
In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing;quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon.First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market.How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe.Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability.In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability.Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time.To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Water Shortage.You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 1)水资源短缺已成为严重问题 2)造成水资源短缺的原因 3)提出解决方案

The advent of the Internet ushered in a new era of interpersonal communications and business operations.Undoubtedly, the Net are revolutionizing the daily lives of the people who have an access to it.The primary reason behind the Internet boom roots in its multifunction.It provides a vehicle for netizens to shop, search, publish blogs and browse WebPages.A range of problems lurking behind the frenzy of Internet impressively stand out.A vast majority of Internet users' mail boxes are saturated with junk mails, an issue which sparks strong criticism and generates the loss of corporate productivity.It's not alone.Porn websites lure a growing number of young people's visits.False news via the e-mail, BBS and chat room increasingly poses a threat to the social prosperity and stability.To crack down them, we should push for a more effectively tough law.We should join our forces to launch a nation-wide campaign, including imposing stiff penalties on spammers, shutting down or blocking the lewd sites and introducing a real-name registration system to curb fraudulent messages.We can fully believe that our combined efforts will reap rewards.A clean cyberspace will paint our lives more colorfully.An economically booming and technologically advanced global web will play a vital role in the national economic and cultural advancement.5.Directions: For this pari, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Renew Knowledge.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1)更新知识的重要性 2)你怎么更新知识

第二篇:研究生英语期末口语考试话题(范文)
Topics for Oral Test 1.你知道转基因食物吗?你认为这对健康有害吗?What do you know
GM food? Do you think it is harmful to health?
D: Hey ,everybody,a few days ago,I read a paper that China have done several researchs on genetically modified foods and have eaten them.As far as I am concerned,The United States is also favor of genetically modified foods , but Europe is against them firmly.what do you think of it?
L: Well, I think it's a great idea to have genetically modified foods.D: Really?Why?
L: Well, genetically modified plants may need fewer pesticides than normal plants.For example, there is a type of corn that is bad for insects——when the insects eat the corn plant, they die.However, the corn doesn’t hurt people.This type of corn is beneficial because famers use fewer pesticides to grow the corn, and so there is less pollution in the environment.Also the corn is less expensive because the farmers don’t have to spend a lot of money on pesticides.So, by using fewer pesticides the corn is cheaper and the environment is cleaner.H: Yes, and there are two another benefits of genetically modified food.One is that they may grow better than normal plants.The other one is that many genetically modified plants stay fresh longer after they are harvested.What’s more, because of its high yield, it increases the possibility of solving the global hunger issues.But do you think the GM foods are all safe?
Y: Well, there is no answer.No effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved.So far, there is little evidence that GM foods are harmful to health.However,there are some countries holding the opposite views.D: I firmly agree with that.Everything has two sides, Some European countries such as Austria, their consumer groups oppose the sale of importing genetically modified food, they believe that genetically modified foods affect human health.In Europe, the government's attitude is, genetically modified food are insecurity.Some social groups and organizations called for scientists to confirm the safety of genetically modified foods.Y: yeah, what you said are reasonable.In my opinions, I prefer to eat the natural and common food rather than the GM food.The GM food is mixed some additive genes into a new one by the transgenic technology so that the GM food has unknown effects to human beings if they eat it, such as: people will be allergic to the GM food because it have added some parts of gene which can make people allergic.H: Objectively speaking, we can't simply label GM foods with good or bad labels.So , What we should do is to learn to view things with dialectical thought.That is to say, we should use the objective critical and inclusive vision to treat GM foods.With the development of technology, I firmly believe that someday the scientist will tell us whether genetically modified food is angle or a devil.2.有时候,当你从不同的角度观察同一件事物的时候,也许会变得不同。你也这样认为么?Sometimes, the same thing may seem to be different when it is observed from different perspectives? Do you think so? Share your experiences with your partners.What’s your view about this question?
A:Sometimes, the same thing may seem to be different when it is observed from different perspectives.Do you think so?
B:Yes,I totally agree with this statement.Have you ever heard a classical story which reflecting two different attitudes toward the same thing? When looking at a glass with some water in it, people may respond differently.Some may focus on the negative aspect and describe the glass as half empty;others may emphasize the positive aspect of it and regard it as half full.In other words, people may hold completely different ideas about the same thing.C:I also agree with this view.The two different answers to this question represent two different attitudes towards life--optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.Chinese old saying indicates, “A blessing in disguise(塞翁失马焉知非福)”,it means :For a time, though it was lost, it would be good for it.D:Yeah,the words remind me of an inspirational story.The great inventor Edison Thomas have studied more than 8000 not suitable materials of filament, people asked him: “you have failed the 8000 times, what is the use for you to continue this research?” Thomas Edison said that I have not failed.On the contrary, I found more than 8000 not suitable material.A:I also appreciate Edison's optimistic attitude towards life.From another perspective, the thing is different.In life, many people are easy to feel frustrated by meeting a bit of setback.As far as I am concerned, we need to change our perspectives and learn to keep positive and optimistic like Edison when facing difficulties so that we can have more power to pursue our dreams.D:Yeah.Edison's story has been encouraging me to be optimistic.Before reading this story, I always be depressed when there were a lot of mistakes in the homework.But, now I will fell very lucky in this case, because these problems can be found in time before exam.C:Oh , great!So, learn to change a point of view, life is full of hope and happiness.As we all known, life doesn’t always run smoothly, but you have got to think positive.And there is no denying that most optimists have a high happiness index,which can hardly be experienced by pessimists.B:Ok.Speaking of which, I have a word to share with you.Turn around, is another starting point, change an angle, you will find a different scenery!(转身,是另一个起点,换一个角度,你会发现不一样的风景!)
3.请针对我们应该如何面对流行病给出几条建议:
Please give some advice about what we should do when faced with an epidemic.A:As[武汉天气不稳定,最近很多人感冒了,是吧?] we all known, the weather in Wuhan is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, so , recently ,many people catch a cold, is it?
B: Yeah, of course.Just like me.I've just recovered from a bad cold, I felt dizzy, and cough day and night。
C:I know that you had a bad time, there is no doubt that the flu is a common epidemic in our daily life.However, there are many other epidemics which is hard to be cured.Can you show me an example?[我知道你渡过了一段难过的时间,毫无疑问流感是我们日常生活中的一种常见流行病。很容易治疗,吃药即可。但是还有很多流行病难以治疗,你们能列举几个例子吗?]
D:One example just appears in my mind, that is SARS.I still remember it broke out in 2002, at that time, I was just in primary school.It was like a strong tornado [tɔ:ˈneɪdəʊ] that swept the whole country and many people were killed by it.A: Yes, I still remember that our life was disturbed and we had to stay at home during those days.We tried our best to fight against the SARS and help each other.Fortunately, we took control of it by the end.B:Ye]ah, another example occurs to me, AIDS.It is a vital [ˈvaɪtl] epidemic, and it caused by a virus(ˈvaɪrəs)called HIV.What’s more, it was first reported in 1980 in the US, the most common manifestation(症状)of AIDS include fever, vomiting ['vɒmɪtɪŋ], headache and so on.The HIV is transmitted by 3 main routes, they are sexual, maternal [məˈtɜ:nl] and blood-borne.C:Yeah,in addition, I know that AIDS will not infect through public facilities, and will not spread through shaking hands and hugging.In a word, numerous epidemics break out, and they have caused the most disastrous impacts on us.D:Yeah,you are right.As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.Now that there are so many epidemics in our daily life, what should we do when faced with an epidemic, can you give us some advice?
A:Oh,I know something about that.For example, people could prevent catching a cold if they dress warmly and have a good rest when the winter comes.But many people get sick so that they have to spend much time and money in seeing a doctor.B: What’s more, I think we need to clean our dormitory every day.What’s more, we should keep our laboratory [ləˈbɔrətəri] clean and tidy and open the windows every morning.C:Yes,I totally agree with you.In order to protect ourselves from the epidemics, it’s important for us to eat more vegetables, fruit instead of junk food and do more exercises.We will deserve for a better life.4.在你看来,精英教育培养出来的是什么样的人?今天的社会需要什么样的人? In your opinion, what kind of people should an elite education produce? What kind of people are really needed in today’s society?
A: Hi, good morning!B/C/D: Good morning!A: Do you know what day is it 5 days later? B: Your birthday? A: No
C: Your boyfriend’s birthday? A: No D: I know, it is college entrance examination, am I right? A:Yes, you are right!It is college entrance examination, which we all have experienced about 5 years ago.In another words, we have received 5 years of higher education.Should higher education be elite education or mass education?
B: Wait, wait… what is elite education? I have ever heard about these vocabularies, but don’t know the real meaning of it.C: Let me tell you!An elite education is that the enrollment rate of the right age is below the 15%.It means only a few people can have the chance to be educated.In other words, the elite education is a kind of “individualized” education which emphasizes the development of individual talents.D: Mass education is opened to everyone regardless of your qualifications.In other words, mass education tends to be “universal and extensive”, which emphasizes the utility of education to the whole society.B: oh, I see.Elite education is offered for only a few people, so the education we have taken in the past 5 years is the elite education, am I right? A: Yeah, maybe you are right to some degree.It depends on how you understand the goal of elite education.In your opinion, what kind of people should an elite education produce?
D: In my opinion, elite education is not aristocratic education(贵族教育)though it offers to a few students.Elite education should produce the elites and leaders of this society.And these elites could help with the development of this society.C: However, elite education may also produce people overestimate themselves and not able to communicate with people who do not take elite education, although they may be proficient in several foreign languages.B: Yeah, you are right.Do you think these elites cultivated by elite education are the people our society really need?
A: On one hand, as we all know, Roman is not built in one day, so does our society.The development and prosperity of our society cannot be separated from the social elite, as well as the ordinary people.On the other hand, actually, China is a developing country with large population and scarce resources.We do not have enough conditions to provide elite education.D: Yeah, as a result, for the current stage, the purpose of Chinese higher education is mainly produce practical and professional talents.At the same time, general education also has certain requirements, in order to meet the requirements of the “specialized personnel” in the outline.C: Yes, you are right.I hope our country will combine the advantages of elite education and mass education according to our present situation.In that way, we may harvest all kinds of talents our society needs.5.你是否有经常或偶尔的接近自然来远离城市噪音?你希望生活在城市还是在乡村,你更喜欢什么样的生活?为什么?Do you regularly or occasionally get close to nature to escape the city noise?

Y:What a wonderful day!It’s a good time to go out for a walk.How is your grandfather after surgery ,紫薇?
H: Well, he is slowly recovering after moving to the countryside to live.Y: That sounds comforting.How about living in the countryside ?
H: It’s a good choice!The countryside is so peaceful and beautiful!I just come back from countryside with my parents.I spent my childhood in country when I was a baby.That’s a great memory.D: I partly agree with you, because the countryside is not as convenient as the city.For example, the city offers more opportunities and entertainment.L: I prefer country life to city life.Just like what I have seen on TV, there are too many stunning scenes which can not be seen in cities.For example , in Summer nights, thousands of stars are glimmering in the dark , this beautiful scenery attracted me so much.When I have lived in city for a long time, which makes me find some social ills of city life.D: I know what you mean.But I’m hardly agree with that.The city developed more quickly than the country.Flourishing businesses and advanced equipment are changed every day, which is so exciting.H: I agree with 刘高辉.Because the country life gives us opportunity to close to nature.One can see trees, grass and listen to the birds whenever.It’s a good to health.What’s more ,there is less noise , pollution,pressure and crime.It provides us more fresh air and quite.D: Yes, I see.But country life may not be that perfect.People usually lack culture activities.They are relatively ill informed.Things go fairly slowly there.And people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune.L: The disadvantages of country did existed.I plan to live in the country,after i retired.Maybe it is a better choice.H: Oh, it just what I think!And Country people have chance to experience the lifestyle of city when they come to cities.D: what is your ideal life like? My ideal life is that i have a right to choose life.so I need to pay more efforts to learn now.How about you ,杨榕瑕?
Y: In my opinion ,the answer is not certain.Whatever life we lead,we can never feel perfectly satisfied, for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist.People wish that they could enjoy the pleasure of both lives.And you,刘高辉?
L: I get ready to work hard when I’m young.For example, I eager to experience more fresh things to broaden the field of vision and social experience before 40 years old.Y: Sounds good!Good luck!
6.什么是快乐?你认为我们应该怎样获得快乐?What is happiness? In what ways can we achieve happiness? A:Hi, good morning!Did you eat breakfast this morning?

B: I’m agree with you, happy people feel satisfied with themselves, and they’re happy with what they have.They may be a little overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they are satisfied with what they have.This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from something outside.A: You mean, happy people feel satisfied with themselves, unhappy people are often not satisfied with what they have? Then, I have a question “Do you think ‘阿Q’ , the chapter in Lu Xun’s work--story of Ah Q be a happy person? He is satisfied with what he has, but I think he is poor more than happy.B: 阿Q is a special character in a special background.He lives in his own world and use “spirit victory(精神胜利法)” to get the feeling of satisfied.He doesn’t get the real happiness because he achieves satisfactions from fantasies(幻想), instead of his own effort.D:I see.The real happiness comes from contentment, and real contentment comes from your own effort.In another words, if you have tried your best but still don't get what you want, then you may stop and enjoy what you already have.In this way, you can easily achieve happiness.B: Bingo.This is what I mean.C: I agree with you, too.But I also find that happy people have one in common.That is, they are all optimistic—they look at the positive side of life, not the negative.A:Yeah, when happy people have problems, they assume that things will approve.They don’t worry and think that all bad things can happen, it’s quite normal.So they can take it easy.However, unhappy people are the opposite.When they have a problem, they think about how bad everything is and assume that it’ll get worse.So they make themselves even more unhappy.D: I totally agree with you, and I think another thing can bring us happiness—helping others.It is proved effective every time since I have tried.Of course, I help other people because I can and I want help them, as well as they are really in need, not for the aims of getting happiness.But from this process, I really achieve a kind of amazing and wonderful feeling—it may be called “happiness”.C: You are great.Maybe I should learn from you.Just as the old saying says “Present rose to others with remaining fragrance at hand.” When you are helping others in need, you are helping yourself, so that you can achieve happiness.B: I really hope people with kind-heart and optimistic will achieve happiness forever.7.你相信你是美丽的(英俊)吗?你有没有想过整容?整容手术的优点和缺点是什么?Do you believe you are beautiful(handsome)? Have you ever thought about cosmetic surgery [kɔzˈmetik ˈsə:dʒəri]整容手术? What are pros and cons of cosmetic surgery?
H:梦鸽, what do you think of plastic surgery? like lip implants, breast implants?
D:Yeah , absolutely.I would like now, but four years ago, maybe I don’t agree.H: Interesting!I think the biggest advantage of cosmetic surgery is its ability to turn an ordinary face to a very lovely one.It can make up for your regret of your body, your face or any other part of your body.Y:Well, I agree with that.You may become confident in your daily life, which will make you energetic when you work, so you may make more achievement in your career.Just like the recent phenomenon: more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries.They argued that this kind of surgery can improve one’s opportunity to secure a good job.D:Do you agree with me?
Y:Yeah, especially when women get older, they will have plastic surgery due to effect of media and society.Maybe they would like to have plastic surgery here or there.L: I partly agree with you.But I don’t have to give up any parts if I were a women.Because many factors influence of the standard of beauty.The believe beauty is more important than external beauty when people get older.Y:AHA.Don’t you want to place it in a more appropriate location , Imagining you get older?
L: I just like enjoy the natural.And there are still a huge danger.Many tragic(悲剧)incidents have been reported recent years that one get hurt or blind or even dead when she adopts a cosmetic surgery.A person only has one chance of life.Nothing is important than life in the world.D: But I think many men may like it, people prefer to pursuit good things, after all.L: Maybe ,of course they do.Nowadays cosmetic surgery is also for men.What about you 胡紫薇 ,do you believe you are beautiful? What will you do if you get a chance to do a cosmetic surgery one day?
H: HAHAHA.....,I like my body.Just like the saying goes :beauty is only skin-deep(外在美不过是表面现象).So I will not to do a cosmetic surgery now.And in my opinion, we should consider the advantages and disadvantages of cosmetic surgery.Now we can also find that there are too many famous people who are not memorized by their appearance, but their personality and special habits.8.你认为“事实胜于雄辩”这句话是什么?请用例子来说明它。What do you think of the saying “Actions speak louder than words.”? Please use examples to illustrate it.1、百说不如一做。理想总是丰满的,不能空有理想,要付出实际行动。一种被付诸实践了的行动要比一百种想法都要可靠。举例:、与我们相近的例子是我们总是在幻想自己能干这个干那个,可是真正到了要付诸实践的时候就很轻易被打倒,不作为。
A: Good morning, everyone.B/C/D: Good morning!
A:Last night I have read a saying “Actions speak louder than words”, but I don’t know what does it really mean, does it means nonverbal communication is more important than spoken language or something else? Can you help me? I feel so confused.B: Oh, don’t worry.It is very normal, not be confused.Because one word may have different meanings under different context, let alone a saying.May be your understanding is right to some degree.C: Yes, maybe you are right, isn’t it? But in my opinion, “Actions speak louder than words” means what you do is more important than what you say.And if you say you are going to do something, then you need to do it.[引入第一种观点:实际行动比你说的话要重要的多。“百说不如一做。”]
D: Yeah, I agree very strongly with you!“Actions” means you should do something instead of staying here and do nothing.But in our daily life, too many people, even include me, “words speak louder than actions”.Moreover, plans of action were not always properly implemented.[提出现实却是相反的,很多人都是“说的比做得多”。计划也总是不能完全被实施。]
B:Me too!I had planned to read 3 papers this week and complete a course paper.However, I didn’t do as I had planned, and now I feel a lot of pressure(>_<).Moreover, most people I know who waited to travel the world never did.(无奈)[举例论证观点一]
A: I've had many similar experiences like you, but I think we should do more than only speak.In other words, talks little but does more.[观点一总结:少说话,多做事!]Is there any other understanding of this saying?
C:Of course!Another meaning of this saying is that no matter how you are skilled in debate, you can hardly defeat the fact.In this situation, actions refer to the civisms or other debates against you.[观点二:事实胜于雄辩!]In fact, words are the shallowest portion of all the argument.[事实上,在一切雄辩中,语言往往是最浅薄的部分。] Have you ever heard the story of Yu Gong who removed the mountains?
D: Yes, I know.It describes an old man with very strong perseverance, who finally moved away the mountain in front of the door through he and his family’s continuous efforts.It tells us that unless you give up, you will be succeed sooner or later.[愚公移山的例子] B: You are right.But on the other hand, it also verifies that “facts speak louder than words.” Even though many people have disapproved with him, even questioned him.But he, Foolish Old Man, doesn’t defeat by his opponents, who are skilled in debate.Facts proved that he is right and he is not the foolish man.He is the man who has great wisdom.A: I see.Thank you very much.I don’t feel confused now.And I think I have learnt the real meaning of this saying “actions speak louder than words”.Thank you!(The End[提问者对几个帮助他的回答者表示感谢!])

10.什么是“善意的谎言”?你有没有说过善意的谎言?你认为讲一个善意的谎言是合乎道德的吗?是,为什么;不是,又为什么?
What is “a white lie”善意的谎言? Have you ever told a white lie? Do you think telling a white lie is ethical? Why or why not?
A:Do you know what is “a white lie”?
B:Yes.On certain occasions, out of necessity, we simply cannot tell the truth but have to lie with good rather than bad intentions.This kind of lie is called a white lie.Here, I can give you an example.I told my friend Sally a white lie when she asked me how I liked her new party dress.I didn't like the color or the design but when I saw how happy she was with it, I told her it looked great.To “lie with good intentions” is very common and almost all of us have done it.Have you ever told a white lie?
A:Yes.In some cases the truth is going to hurt or trouble someone but white lies can give others comfort and encouragement.For example, I told my parents a white lie when I was sick, Even though I was still not feeling well, I smiled and told them I was much better.Just because I didn’t want them to be worried.D:Oh, how sensible you are!Lies have been recognized as a synonym for cheating and hypocrisy and lies are often held in contempt.However, sometimes we need lies in real life, because a white lie can give one comfort and encouragement.If a seriously ill patient can refresh himself to fight against the illness after hearing your white lie, don’t you think your lie is meaningful?
C:It seems that in some cases white lies are very meaningful.But from the perspective of ethics, I still don't support it.Do you think telling a white lie is ethical?
B:Yes, of course.In fact, its existence does not harm the interests of the victims and its motive is kind.To be honest is to make our society more harmonious, to a better development of the society.In this way, white lies accord with the purpose Of honesty.What do you think of it?
C:Oh, I see.But I can’t agree with you.I insist that white lies are lies after all.It’s dishonest to tell even white lies.In my opinion, everyone has the right to know the truth, you have no right to make choices instead of others.Indeed, in some cases, white lies can give you a cure, but who can guarantee that when you know the truth, you will not regret not knowing it earlier.So how about you?
D:Graham(本杰明·格雷厄姆)said that” in human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths”.I think he means that in most time telling a white lie is better than tell the truth.So I don’t agree with your presentation.A: Well.Sometimes we need white lies to keep peace.And sometimes we also tell white lies to protect someone.If a girl tries her best to lose weight, but she is still very fat, it’s better for you to say you are very lovely or you really get thinner rather than tell her the truth, “you have put on weight again.” So I hold on to my position.

第四篇:大学英语二口语考试考试话题
1.Dreams and Ambition(梦想与抱负)Everyone has a lot of dreams.Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight.Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame.I have a lot of dreams,too.When I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogen in future.However, I knew very well that I could not succeed without painstaking efforts.So I studied hard in the middle school and college in order to attain my goal.After graduating from college, I found a job as a teacher.Although I was very busy with teaching, I never gave up my goal.I read a lot of books to get more knowledge.I made experiments to practise and apply what I had learnt from the books.Sometimes, I was so deeply indulged in my research that I forgot my meals and time.Now I have made great progress.Several of my research papers have been published.The methods proposed in my papers have been proven to be valuable for the solution of some problems.I am very happy.The ladder of becoming a scientist is still far ahead, but I have climbed the first rung anyway.每个人都有很多的梦想。有些人想要有钱,梦想成为百万富翁过夜。别人想要出名,梦想着突然跳跃到很高的声誉。我有很多梦想,也是。当我还是个小女孩的时候,我梦想成为一名科学家像华Luogen,在未来的。然而,我知道得很清楚,我不可能取得成功的艰苦的努力。所以我努力学习在中学和大学为了达到了我的目标。大学毕业后,我找到了一份当老师的工作。虽然我非常忙碌和在教学过程中,我从来没有放弃我的目标。我读了很多书,获得更多的知识。我做了实验来练习和运用我所学过的书。有时,我是那么深深沉迷在我的研究,我忘了我的饭和时间。现在我有了很大的进步。我的几位研究论文发表。在我的论文中提出的方法都已经被证明是有价值的解决一些问题。我很高兴。梯子要成为一名科学家仍遥遥领先,但我已经爬上了第一响吧。
2.Personality Every one has a different personality.I have an optimistic personality and I always do everything happily.But not every one finds this easy.When I meet people like this, I usually advise them to see the school councilor.There are reasons why everyone's personality is so different.If your parents love you and care about you, then your personality will be healthy and happy.If your parents don't, then your personality could sad and withdrawn.A person's personality determines his or her future.So if you come across someone who is often worried, you can try and help them or tell them to seek help from a councilor.每个人的性格都不一样。我的性格是一个乐观的,我总是开心的做所有的事情。但并不是每个人都觉得这样做很容易。当我遇到那样的人时,我通常建议他们去咨询学校顾问。每个人的性格是如此的不同是有原因的。如果你的父母爱你,、关心你、那么你的性格将是健康和快乐的。如果你的父母不爱你、关心你,然后你的性格会是阴郁的和孤僻的。一个人的性格决定了他或她的未来。所以如果你遇到那些经常担心的人,你可以试着帮助或者告诉他们去从顾问中寻求帮助。
3.Festivals(节日)
My favourite festival is the Spring Festival.Why? Because I have lots of fun at the Spring Festival.The Spring Festival is a popular holiday in our country.It is in January or February.Our family get together.We have a big dinner at my grandparents’ home.I always eat a lot of delicious food.My cousin and me both get red packets from our grandparents.My parents usually go shopping with me.We buy some nice clothes for ourselves.We often watch TV at home and sometimes read books or surf the Internet.Sometimes, we greet other people on the phone.I’m always happy at the Spring Festival.Which is your favourite festival?
4.Learning English(学习英语)At the beginning of my English study.It's indeed a tough way for me to go.I was busy in practicing my Listening、Speaking、Reading、and Writing at the same time, but as time goes by.I finally summarized a seriries of method of learning a foreign language ,I do also made progess in this hard process.As we all know, learning a language is a sequential process, we have to take it step by step.In order to put ourseves in a good English environment ,we'd better practice throughout a whole day.Now, I'd love to talk about my experience of studying English.In the morning, firstly, we have to preview the passage that we are to learn in the class, for me, I often do some reading exercises, I read articles aloud, because it can improve my my English Oral and develop my good sense of language, I can remember words and sentences in this process.5.Public Transportation(公共交通)
Good transportation is very important to the success of both individuals and a city.Without efficient means of transportation, people will waste a great deal of time going to and from work.This will make them tired and less productive in their jobs.People may rely on either private or public transportation to get them to and from work.If a choice has to be made between spending money on improving the roads for private vehicles or improving public transportation, I would choose the latter for the following reasons.First of all, better public transportation systems, including buses, trains and subways, will encourage more people to use them rather than drive their own cars.This will reduce the total amount of traffic on the roads and make travel quicker for everyone.Second, using public transportation saves energy.A bus which carries 60 people is a far more efficient use of fuel than 60 individual cars driving the same route.And last but not least, greater use of public transportation causes less pollution and will keep the environment cleaner.There are many reasons to support spending money on public transportation.Good transportation systems make a city cleaner, more efficient and more convenient.This improves everyone’s quality of life and can make the city more prosperous.Therefore, I support spending money on public transportation systems rather than improving roads.好的交通工具对于个人和整个城市的成功都非常重要。如果没有有效率的交通工具,人们上下班会浪费很多时间。这会使人们疲倦,因而降低工作效率。人们上下班可以依赖私人或公共交通工具。如果要在花钱为私人车辆改善道路和花钱改善公共交通工具之间做选择,我会选择后者,原因如下。首先,较好的公共交通系统,包括公共汽车、火车和地下铁,会鼓励更多人去乘坐而不会自己开车,如此便能减少道路上整体的交能流量,让人们往来的速度更快。
其次,使用公共交通工具可节省能源。一辆公车搭载60个人比60辆私人汽车行驶相同的路线更能充分、有效率地使用燃料。最后一项要点是,多使用公共交通工具可以减少污染,使环境更干净。有许多理由都支持该把经费用在公共交通工具上。好的交通系统能使城市更干净、更有效率,而且更便利。这样可以改善每个人的生活质量,并让整个都市更加繁荣。因此,我支持将钱用在公共交通系统上,而非改善道路。
6.TV Programs(电视节目)
My favorite TV program is CNN's Anderson Cooper 360.It is mainly a news program.However it's different from the ordinary news broadcasting.This program emphasizes on the news events and influences and people's opinions rather than plain news broadcasting.That's what I like about this program.The anchor of this program, Anderson Cooper, is an award-winning and very energetic journalist.As a journalist, he's not just an ordinary TV show anchor, but he tells the stories from a journalist's view.The program, because of Anderson Cooper's special talents and views as a journalist, is much more interesting than watching other news programs.7.Movies(电影)
Do you know the movie Titanic.That is one of my favorite movies.It's a love story about Jack and Rose.They met on a ship called Titanic ,and then they fell into love immediately.On the night of April 15, 1912 , the Titanic had an accident on the way to America.Jack and Rose fell into the sea with many other people.They were very frightened because they were afraid of losing each other.In the end ,Rose was saved,but Jack died.Rose was very sad.8.Cities(城市)
With industries and business developing quickly, the number of trees in many big cities has dramatically reduces.Efforts are being made to prevent people from cutting more trees.But a lot of trees are being destroyed by people who have never thought of the importance of green plants.Making cities greener has many advantages.First, it can make our air cleaner.Some researchers have proved that trees can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through absorption.Second, it can make our cities more beautiful.With trees and flowers everywhere, living conditions can be improved.Finally, it can produce timber—-an effective way to solve the problems of limited supply of natural resources.Making our cities greener requires nationwide efforts.People in every field should not only know about the importance of keeping the quality of urban environment, but also take common action to plant more trees and flowers so as to improve our living conditions.9.Famous Persons in China(中国名人)
Lu Xun is my favourite writer.He is one of the most famous writers in China.He wrote a lot of literary works.He was thin and not tall.He always wore a long old coat in that time.At first, he wanted to be a doctor and save people’s lives.So he learned medicine, but later he found the Chinese were in sensitive when they faced the oppression of their enemies.So he began to write articles to wake the people up.Lu Xun wrote some famous novels, he attacked the social mores in that time, and in his works, many persons were known very well, such as “Ah Q”“Kong Yi ji”.I like Lu Xun because I also want to be a great writer like him.I like reading and writing, and I often write some articles in my free time.Though I don’t have good literary talent or a large vocabulary, I spend lots of time reading and writing to improve my writing skills.Lu Xun is my hero, I will learn more from him.I believe I can be a great writer like him in the future.10.Examinations(考试)
I don't remember how many examinations I've taken since I began my schooling.Truth to tell, I don't like examinations at all.I dare say that, in fact, no student likes examinations.We often hear people say “Examinations are teachers' magic weapon”, so most of us may think it is our teachers who give us students so many examinations.But I don't think so.Almost all of them have once been students before they became teachers.We don't like examinations, and neither do our teachers, which may be reasonably concluded.What's more,the more examinations we take, the more time will be taken from our teachers and the more troubles our teachers have to take.It is the system in our country, I think, that gives us students so many examinations.If there were no entrance examinations, and all the students could go up to the higher grades without competition, there would not be so many examinations in primary and middle schools.So it is important and necessary to reform the entrance system.Only in this way can examinations be greatly reduced, and then all the students will be happier.11.Media(媒体)
Mass media are very important tools of communication,through which information is passed to even the farthest end of the world.They enable us to communicate with each other by helping us to overcome the barriers of time and apace.Mass media function in various ways.Below are listed the most commonly seen.First, mass media keep us well informed of the happenings of the world which would otherwise remain unknown.Second, mass media persuade us mostly through advertisements.As we can see, newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colourful, persuasive advertisements which tempt us to buy their products.Third, mass media give us entertainment.Television and radio broadcasting provide us with a big variety of programmes every day.Films, books, magazines, etc.give us daily amusement.In a word, mass media will be all the more important in the future and their fufietions will enormously expand.Limited by apace, only a few examples are mentioned here.12.Birthday(生日)

I don't remember how many examinations I've taken since I began my schooling.Truth to tell, I don't like examinations at all.I dare say that, in fact, no student likes examinations.We often hear people say “Examinations are teachers' magic weapon”, so most of us may think it is our teachers who give us students so many examinations.But I don't think so.Almost all of them have once been students before they became teachers.We don't like examinations, and neither do our teachers, which may be reasonably concluded.What's more,the more examinations we take, the more time will be taken from our teachers and the more troubles our teachers have to take.It is the system in our country, I think, that gives us students so many examinations.If there were no entrance examinations, and all the students could go up to the higher grades without competition, there would not be so many examinations in primary and middle schools.So it is important and necessary to reform the entrance system.Only in this way can examinations be greatly reduced, and then all the students will be happier.12.Media(媒体)
The Function of Mass Media
Mass media are very important tools of communication,through which information is passed to even the farthest end of the world.They enable us to communicate with each other by helping us to overcome the barriers of time and apace.Mass media function in various ways.Below are listed the most commonly seen.First, mass media keep us well informed of the happenings of the world which would otherwise remain unknown.Second, mass media persuade us mostly through advertisements.As we can see, newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colourful, persuasive advertisements which tempt us to buy their products.Third, mass media give us entertainment.Television and radio broadcasting provide us with a big variety of programmes every day.Films, books, magazines, etc.give us daily amusement.In a word, mass media will be all the more important in the future and their fufietions will enormously expand.Limited by apace, only a few examples are mentioned here.13.Birthday(生日)14.Cell Phones(手机)
With the rapid development of mobile communications industry, many children are bringing cellular phones to school.This has its advantages as well as its disadvantages.Parents used to have difficulty finding out the whereabouts of their children after school.When children bring phones with them, parents may keep their children under control, thus reducing chances of mischief.In this sense, the effect is positive.But phones at school have roused much controversy.Many children use phones for purposes other than what their parents expect.The worst case is cheating on exams with the help of phones.Some of such tricks are difficult to be detected.Another nuisance is the sudden telephone ring in the middle of a class.The unfortunate child gets stared at by the teacher as well as his classmates.And when many have phones, the haves may look down upon the havenots, and they keep pressing parents for more expensive phones.This is certainly not good for their character development.The disadvantages of children bringing phones to school evidently overweighs its advantages.So more and more schools are banning phones at school.15.Dreams and Goals(梦想和目标)16.Famous people(名人)17.My Teacher(我的老师)
I will never forget my first chemistry teacher.He was a little man with thick glasses, but he had a strange way of making his classes lively and interesting.And his lessons were not easily forgotten.I still remember one of my lessons from this teacher.After the students were all in the lab, the teacher brought out three bott[es.One was filled with petrol, one with castor oil and one with vinegar.“Now watch carefully,” said the teacher.He then filled a cup with some of the petrol, some of the castor oil and some of the vinegar.As the students watched him quiet[y, he mixed the three together.After that, he held up one of his fingers and showed it to the class.He then dipped it into the cup.After a few seconds he took his finger out.“Now watch,” he said.“Remember, you must do every thing as I do.”He put a finger in his mouth, tasted it and smiled, looking rather pleased.Then he handed the cup around the class of students.Each student dipped a finger into the mixture and sucked it.Instead of smiling, each of them made a face.The mixture tasted terrible.When the cup was at last returned to the teacher, he said sadly, “I’ m sorry, none of you watched carefully enough.Yes, I sucked a finger, but the finger I put into my muth was not the one I had dipped into the cup.”It was my first important lesson as a student of chemistry and I never forgot it.18.Neighbours(邻居)
Good Neighbours
We all have neighbours.A good neighbour is better than a distant relative.It is common that we may meet with difficulties.When we have igood neighbours, they will always come to help
you.Neighbours should get on well with each other.My neighbour has a daughter.We are of the same age but we don~t study in the same school.In the evening we always do homework together.She is good at maths and I am good at English.So we often help each other.19.Seasons(季节)
The Four Seasons-四季
In a year there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and win In spring, the sun shines brightly in the blue sky.The warm winds blow gently.The snow and ice can no longer remain.The little streams again flow merrily on.The flowers show their pretty shapes by the wayside and in the gardens.The trees send out little buds and new leaves.Farmers begin to till the soil and sow the seed.All nature is clothed in green colour and seems very attractive and lovely.In summer, the sun shines blazingly and the heat is unbearable.But the days are very long and we can do much work.The thunder-storm will come often in such stuffy weather.All the sights are still fine.We have a long vacation in summer.We can go to many places to enjoy this pleasant.In autumn, the days gradually become shorter, and the nights longer.The weather is colder than in summer.The mornings begin to be cold and the evenings are no longer warm.Farmers are reaping rice with scythes.It is the season for harvest.The leaves of the trees fall down.Most birds no longer sing, but nfigrate to warmer countries.In the midautumn the silvery moonlight becomes more delightful.In the last season of the year, the weather is extremely cold.The roofs are usually covered with frost in the early morning.Snow-storms will come very often.Brooks and rivers will be frozen and the ground will be frozen hard too during the coldest period.All the insects sleep under the ground without eating.Nothing looks as fine as in the spring time.20.Smoking(抽烟)
Today smoking is a widespread habit ali over the world.Not only the old, the youth, but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking.Many of them think that smoking is a smart symbol.However, smoking is harmful to one’s ,health.It contributes a lot of lung cancer, from which many people have died in the past years.It can also cause many other diseases.In a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chance of losing your health.Furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health, especially to women and children.Therefore, many countries have made laws forbidding smokers to smoke m public places such as cinemas, stations, hospitals, and so on Giveup smoking!If you don’t smoke, don’t start.Give upsmoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for the sake of the whole world.吸烟与健康
现在,吸烟是一个世界范围的习惯,不仅老年人、青年人吸烟,就连中学生也加入到这个行列中来,他们中的许多人认为吸烟是一种潇洒的象征。
然而,吸烟对人的健康是有害的,它会引起肺癌,在刚刚过去的几年中;许多人因此而丧命,还可能引发其他的疾病。总之,如果你吸烟的话,你就很可能失去拥有健康的机会,更进一步说,科学研究显示,吸烟不仅危害吸烟者本人,而且对公共健康来说,也是一个凶兆,尤其是对妇女和孩子。
因此,许多国家都制定了不准在公共场合吸烟的法规,例如:电影院,车站,医院等地。
戒烟吧,如果你还未染上,请不要开始;戒烟吧,为了你的健康,为了你的家庭的健康,为了整个世界的健康。
21.sports competition(体育竞赛)22.Traffic safety(交通安全)
Traffic safety is everybody's business.Records show that every year a lot of people die in traffic accidents.Some of the accidents are due to mechanical problems.However, most of them are the results of careless and reckless driving, and could be avoided.A lot of people disregard traffic signals and rules.They drive regardless of speed limits, run through red lights, drive in the wrong direction, talk and laugh while driving, and turn as they wish without giving signals.They don't slow down while approaching crossroads.So many people violate traffic regulations that we cannot put too much emphasis on the importance of traffic safety.Only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybody's business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.交通安全人人有责。纪录显示每年有许多人死于车祸。有些车祸是由于机械问题。然而大部分车祸都是疏忽而卤莽驾驶的结果,并且可以避免的。许多人无视于交通号志和规则。他们驾驶时不管车速、闯红灯、逆向行驶、开车时交谈,并且不打灯号就任意转弯。他们接近十字路口时不减速。如此多的人违犯交通规则以致于我们再怎么样强调交通安全的重要性也不为过。唯有当每个人皆认为交通安全是众人的事时,我们在路上开车、在行人道上走路才安全。
