1．节假日Holidays and festivals

1.1学生可选择的陈述为：

The Mid-Autumn day

The Mid-Autumn Festival, on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, we can observe the biggest and brightest full moon of the year, the harvest moon.One legend about the Moon Festival concerns expert architect Hou Yih, who built a palace of jade for the Goddess of the western heaven.In reward, she gave Hou Yih a pill with the elixir of immortality, warning him not to take it until he had fulfilled certain conditions.Hou Yih's ever-curious wife, Chang O, found the pill and promptly swallowed it.As punishment, she was banished to the moon where, according to tradition, her beauty is at its most radiant on the day of the Moon Festival.The Festival is a public holiday marked by family reunions, moon gazing, and the eating of moon cakes-round pastries stuffed with red bean paste and an egg yolk, or fruit and preserves.Dragon Boat Festival

Boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival commemorate the attempt to rescue the patriotic poet Chu Yuan, who drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C.Unable to save him, the people threw bamboo stuffed with cooked rice into the water so that the fish would eat the rice rather than the body of their hero.This evolved into the present custom of eating zongzi, rice dumplings filled with ham or bean paste and wrapped in bamboo leaves.Since antiquity the Chinese have believed that the fifth lunar month is a pestilential, danger-fraught period.Sanitation is emphasized, medicines are added to food, aromatic branches are hung above doors, and beautifully embroidered protective amulets or sachets containing spices or medicines are fastened to the clothing of children.Large crowds attend the festive boat races in Taipei, Taiwan, and Kaohsiung(高雄).Teams from all over the world compete in the races as excited observers cheer form the riverbanks.Spring festival

Spring Festival is the most important festival in China.It‟s to celebrate the lunar calendar „s new year.In the evening before the Spring Festival ,families get together and have a big meal.In many places people like to set off firecrackers.Dumplings are the most traditional food.Children like

the festival very much ,because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes.They can also get some money from their parents.This money is given to children for good luck.People put New Year scrolls on the wall for good fortune.The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days long.People visit relatives and friends with the words “Have all your wishes”.People enjoy the Spring Festival, during this time they can have a good rest.National Day Holiday National Day is coming, and we can have a seven-day.My families are going to Hainan.It's a good seaside city.We are staying there for a week.We are going to the beach and going swimming in the sea.We‟re visiting Tanya Haijiao, Wanquan River and many other beautiful places.I think we'll have a good time there.I went to my cousin's house on the first day of the holidays and got a piece of good news that his wife was pregnant;She said she's worrying about getting fat, but on her face there was a unconceivable pleasure of conceiving a baby.My cousin told me that he'll educate his child in a severe way, with a future father's maturity(成熟).I’m happy for them.Yesterday, our research school's soccer team had a match with the graduate students from the department of international business.It was almost a close game in the first half,but we seemed lacking of vigor in the second half, so, we lost the game.Half of the National Day holidays have passed by...life still goes with good and bad times.考官可能问到的问题为：

They are also good places to spend free time because they usually offer some form of entertainment such as movie theaters.However, large shopping centers can also bring some disadvantages, and for this reason I would oppose the building of one in my neighborhood.One disadvantage of having a large shopping center in the neighborhood would be a great increase in traffic.More cars would not only bring traffic congestion, but also noise and parking problems.Another disadvantage is that a large shopping center requires a lot of space.If build one in my neighborhood, some open space would have to be sacrificed.We might no longer have room for a park or sports ground.And finally, if there were a shopping center in the neighborhood, people might visit it every day.They would no doubt spend too much money and ignore other ways of spending their leisure time.Due to the above disadvantages, I would oppose any plan to build a large shopping center in my neighborhood.Although I enjoy visiting shopping centers on occasion, I don‟t need to go very often.I would rather spend some time traveling to one than live next door to one.My neighborhood is a peaceful and quiet place and I hope it will stay that way.Online shopping With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life.Here consumers can buy almost everything they need.Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience.People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like.This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person.The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet.All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mousses.The commodities they order will be delivered to them promptly.However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages.The first disadvantage is that the consumers can't see the goods or try them on personally.Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer.The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered.They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you.Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.Yaxiu（雅秀）market Yaxiu market ,also known as Ya show market, is one of the best silk and cloths markets in Beijing.This place has lots of similar items like Silk Market, but the price costs cheaper than the Silk Market.It is located at the west side of Sanlitun（三里屯）Bar Street and adjacent to the second embassy area.its main business scope covers a wide range of foreign trade clothing, accessories, traditional handicrafts, snacks and cuisines, as well as recreation and entertainment.Do not worry, they can speak good English, and they can describe the items clearly and let you buy it finally.第3页

3.业余爱好hobby

3.1 学生可能做的陈述为：

Sports If I had to describe a sport, I would choose to talk about table tennis，I am not sure if you have played it before.It is more commonly known as ping-pong.Table tennis is extremely popular in China.That is to say, many people of all ages like to play.China is often regarded as the world champions（冠军）.For example, we often win medals in this sport at the Olympic Games.There are several reasons as for why I would like to talk specifically about table tennis.Allow me to explain by mentioning some of them briefly.First of all, it is an indoor sport.What I mean to say is that we are able to play it irrespective of the weather conditions.In my hometown, this is important because of the long winters.Secondly, the equipment needed to play table tennis is inexpensive.For instance, you can use any table of a reasonable size.Al you then need is a ball, two bats, and a net.Lastly, table tennis is a sociable sport.That is to say, two or four people can play at one time, while a number of spectators can enjoy the game as well.Seeing movies I have many hobbies,.For example, reading books, surfing the internet, chatting with roommates and soon.The advantage of it is that we can get relax.But some kinds of entertainments are harmful for us.For example, surfing the internet too often is not a good thing.As college students, we should connect study and play properly.Play is an important part of life.Some people ever think that the purpose of life is play.Most Americans spend their holidays playing and more people come to believe that play is the lubricant of life.Open the newspaper, and you will see a great deal of news about movies, concerts, art exhibitions, television programs and all kinds of sport events.Indeed, if you will just step outside, you will see people heading for the park for picnic or taking their children to the zoo.During the weekend, life is play.Work and play do not contradict each other;in fact, they complement each other.As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work.On the other hand, proper

recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies.Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school.Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure.On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment.I feel revived and energetic for another week‟s work-load.3.2考官可能问道的问题为： 1.What's your hobby?

Sample 1(范例 1)People who like traveling have their reasons.They maintain that traveling can help them expand their scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning.They go on to point out that touring will provide more chance for them to enjoy food and try on clothes that they otherwise cannot possibly have.Those who dislike traveling have their reasons.They would argue that traveling means a considerable amount of money and energy.For example, traffic and accommodation require money walking while seeing sights often tires you.In practice, traveling does more good than harm.If you finance and health permit, you might as well do some traveling from time to time.It will at least enable you to get familiar with people and thing that you will probably grow to like and love.“

more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest.While many like to join package tours fro convenience，I prefer to travel on my own.I like traveling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom.Traveling on my own，I'm my own boss； and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot.I can always adjust my plan.On the contrary，in a package tour you're deprived of as much freedom as in a military base.At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach.At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals.But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.Sample3（范例3）

There are many ways of traveling such as by plane, by train, by ship, by bus.And people can choose any of ways of traveling if they like.To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.My preference depends on the purpose of the travel.On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside.When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature.And when I travel on foot I get more freedom.I can plan my own schedule.I can choose my own route.I can stop where I like.And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet.I get much pleasure from it.People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus.To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.Sample4（范例4）

Anderson said that “To travel is live.” Yes, we can learn a lot when we are traveling.And nowadays, travel is becoming more and more popular in our life.How to treat it in a right way? Does it have any advantages? Here are my opinions.There is no doubt that traveling is a good way to relax yourself.When you feel tired after working for a long time, you can go traveling to experience the beauty of nature.You can also breathe the fresh air and make friends with people who come from different places.But on the other hand, it also has some disadvantages.For example, weather changes

suddenly.And sometimes you may be wetted in the heavy rain or you may lose the way and so on.On the whole, we should get ready for everything when we want to travel.We must have a good knowledge of the weather, and we must listen to the weather report before we go out.And the most important thing that we must remember is that we should go out with a companion, who can help you out of danger.Therefore, taking good care of yourself when you are outside is very important.We must have a good knowledge of traveling.Sample5（范例5）

旅游的好处(Advantages of travel)Travel is beneficial（有益的）to us in at least three ways.First, by traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places.We will see with our own eyes many places read of in books, and visit some famous cities and scenic spots.Second, we will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel.We can get ideas of the conditions and customs of other people, taste different foods and local flavors if we like.In this way, we can understand how differently other people live.Third, travel will not only help us to gain knowledge of geography and history and other knowledge, which will arouse our deep love: for our m0therland, but also will help us keep healthy and make us less narrow-minded.Travel does benefit us both mentally and physically.With all these advantages of travel, it is no wonder that travel has now become more popular than ever in China.Sample6（范例6）

I heard Lijiang is a very beautiful city when I was young.I travel there in a holidy with my parents.I went there plane.I saw there were many mountains when I got out the plane.The air was fresh.We went to the Lijiang Gucehng the fist day, we bought some interesting things and had a good meal in the Lijiang Gucheng.The second day , we went to the Yulong snow mountains, it‟s beautiful, and it‟s my first time see the snow.I played with the snow happily.My father told me that Yulong Snow Mountain is a famous place in China;many people came here every year.I was happy in this trip, even like there better than Beijing!

Sample7（范例7）

Many people prefer to travel by air.This is because air travel has some advantages.In the first place, airplane, the miracle created by man, is the fastest means of transport.It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another.Secondly, traveling by air is convenient and comfortable.Friendly air hostesses are affectionate and considerate.They look after passengers all the way to their destinations.Moreover, on long distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves.第10页

As a popular saying goes, “Everything has two sides.” The same is true of air travel.It has some disadvantages, too.For one thing, air travel costs a great deal.The average Chinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares.So they prefer to take trains, which save a lot of money.For another, although passengers are assured of their safety, they are still worried about it during the journey because flying always involves more or less risk.As far as I am concerned, the advantages mentioned above exceed the disadvantages.If I were given choice between traveling by air and traveling by train, I would certainly prefer the former.For me, time is money and it is the most important thing I have to take into consideration whatever I do.Sample8（范例8）A visit to Nanjing The most interesting thing in last summer was a visit to Nanjing.Nanjing is a famous ancient city in China ,it was the capital of China for over 1000 years.One of the main attractions of Nanjing is the Memorial to Dr Sun Yat-sen.It was built to memorize Dr Sun , one of the fathers of modern China.There is a special park for his memorial.It consists of a forest of trees, and some beautiful buildings.Behind the Sun Yat-sen（孙中山）Memorial is the famous Purple Mountain, it was wonderful.There are also many other interesting places in Nanjing, such as Yuhuatai, Fuzi Temple, etc.After visiting these attractions, I know more about the city.It is not only a beautiful place for visit, but also a good place for us to recall those martyrs who brought us the good life today

5.音乐music

5.1学生可能做的陈述为：

Sample1（范例1）

Music plays an important part in people‟s life.Like many other people, I like to listen to the music anytime and anywhere very much, such as the classical music, Country music, British Rap, Blues Jazz and so on.When I listen to the music, I am always in good mood, because music can bring me a lot of pleasure and happiness.As a very important part in our life, music is very close to us, since almost every industry couldn‟t be away from it.People need music and so do the animals and the plants.There are a lot of different kinds of singers and songs in our life.As for me, my favorite singer is backstreet boys who are from America.Their music can always make me more active and teaches me how to love life.Music as a kind of changing art form, whether they change or not, my love for it will never change.Sample2（范例2）

Music is the abstract art of arranging vocal or instrumental sounds in a manner that produces a flowing, unified and thoughtful composition that has melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre.In contrast to the other arts, music is not a readily tangible form of expression and is only validated when its sound patterns are skillfully interwoven into a format that is both evocative and appealing to the ears.Music may be called both the most mathematical and the most abstract of the arts.Unlike words, pictorial images, or dance, however, musical tones in themselves have no concrete associations, and only gain meaning when they are combined into patterns.Through the centuries various philosophers have attempted to integrate theories on the essence of music with their particular world views.Many non-Western cultures and some Western writers as well have perceived it as an inherently mystical force, able to unlock elemental truths or principles that cannot be translated into written or graphic form.Music is an important part of our lives, and has been an important part of every civilization known to man.Sound is often the first input we receive at birth.A child quickly learns to relate certain sounds to specific occurrences: thus, it learns to recognize its mother's voice and associate it with warmth, nourishment and nurture, even though it is ignorant of words.Music has been identified as the second category of sound a child relates to, after the voices of the parents.Throughout time, music has been an important means of displaying the ideas, experiences, and feelings of different societies and cultures.第12页

This guide provides information on music and sound as art and entertainment to help you learn all about the world of music.You'll also find information on music theory, history of music, reading music, instrumental music activities, music lessons and music education articles to help you in learning how to read music notes, make your own music, and learn to play and love music.Sample3（范例3）

I love music, which is one of the important part in my life.I am not professional at music though, whereas it doesn't matter.Music is a kind of cookie not needs much skill.Everyone can have music;even those are not good at singing.When you speak something with delight, your voice might become different.That is an inconspicuous behavior of using music.Therefore, music could be considered as an extended form of language, which make up for what the words can can not do.When you want to cheer someone up, sometimes you do not need to say anything;to play a guitar might be more helpful.In addition, music is also an amazing way to relax.When you feel stress after work, to listen one of your favorite songs for a while will drive off every tension you have.Sample4（范例4）The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it.A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed.Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them.A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor.Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer.Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support.String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm-two entirely different movements.Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune.Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner＇s responsibility to tune the instrument for them.But they have their own difficulties;the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority.Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding.Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.Sample5（范例5）

I love music.It‟s as important as food and water to me.I can‟t spend one day without listening to my favorite tunes.And I have an extensive collection of all kinds of music, from classical to rock and roll, from Jazz to hip-hop.It‟s funny how I love so many different schools of music.And

recently, one of my all-time-favorite tunes is “What Goes Around”.Justin Timberlake is huge right now in America.This song is from his new album “Sexy Back”.This song is definitely hip-hop, which is very popular among young people right now.Justin uses his voice in a unique way and it has a special characteristic.I heard this song not long ago when I was watching the latest hit show on American Television, “Gossip Girl”.So in the first episode, when the girl was coming back to her hometown, this song was playing in the background.It suddenly caught my attention.And I searched for it and got it.I‟ve been listening to this song for sometimes now, but I still like it very strongly.Especially when I‟m tired from all my learning, I put it in my ear, and the beat, the rhythm will wake me up and give me so much energy and joy in life again.People say music affects your mood.It‟s so true.Hip-hop is young and passionate.And the song “What goes around” is from the phrase “What goes around, comes around.” I guess it has a very positive meaning.As you work hard, you will improve.Sample6（范例6）

In the culture of my country, music plays a very important role.It is part of the most important moments of our lives--from birth, marriage and until death.In the most difficult times during the conflict, songs were created speaking of the freedom and the children where singing those songs all the time.It brought them hope for a better life in the future.To me, music once changed my life.It established the bridges between me and the people who they were touched by its meaning.From then, music plays an important part in my life.That was a concert and I was deeply touched by the songs.Moreover, when the concert ended I saw something that I will never forget.All the 600 people raised and applauded and their faces were covered with tears of joy, pain and all the possible emotions that they had experienced in those moments.I will never forget this experience and I say--this is why music is so important.It enriches our lives and makes us feel human with body and soul.Today when I‟m asked to advocate for the importance of music in the schools I can say very simply and sincerely to all those who have doubts: Music is important because it helps us to educate the people to be sensitive and caring.So let us give this chance to music.Sample7（范例7）

Why music is important? Different people have different answers.Music to me is very important, and I think it‟s also one part of other‟ life.First of all, music is a form of expression.When I started playing the piano at the age of five, it was for the sole purpose of improving and I received enjoyment from accomplishing my lessons.I think everyone needs an outlet in their life that they can escape to, and for many, music is that outlet.Both children and adults who have difficulty communicating can use music as a way of

The Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony on Sunday had more or less 7,000 participants and none of the 15,000 people who were in the opening ceremony had been in the finale.Olympic closing ceremonies usually offer less of a spectacle than opening nights, so the Beijing finale also had less than half the participants — but that's still about 7,000 people.NBC Sports executive David Neal said Thursday he traveled 90 minutes west of Beijing to see a rehearsal of the ceremony conducted in secret on a college campus.Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who directed the opening ceremony, does the same for the Sunday's finale, set to air via tape delay at 7 p.m.EDT on NBC.Chinese Students have been involved during the Olympics Closing Ceremony and this finale deserves to be praised because the show was directed by Zhang Yimou who also directed the opening ceremony.Celebrities are splendid, like Michael Phelps, David Beckham and a performance by singer Leona Lewis with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.Definitely, there must be no bogus this time!

Wonderful Beijing, wonderful Olympics!

Finally，I should be thankful for my parents，I know they have done their best in raising me up.Dragon Boat Festival Do you know who “Qu Yuan” is? What type of ”Zongzi“ do you like most? Have you ever joined a dragon boat competition? All these are related to the Dragon Boat Festival.Do you know the origin of this festival? The 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar year is an important day for the Chinese people.The day is called Duan Wu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated everywhere in China.This festival dates back to about 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin.The best-known story centers on a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan.The customs vary a lot in different areas of the country, but most of the families would hang the picture of Zhong Kui(a ghost that can in their houses.People have Dragon Boat Races, eat Zong Zi(dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves)and carry a spice bag around with them.Happy Halloween Halloween conjures up images of happy children going door to door trick or treating, bobbing for apples and glowing jack-o-lanterns.Through the centuries this has been the modern day scene for October 31st, Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve.Celebrations of ancient rituals remain, but in somewhat different forms.Children used to go door to door begging for items to burn with the witches.Today they go door to door trick or treating for candy.The playing of tricks on unfortunate victims also lends All Hallows Eve to be known as Mischief Night.In ancient days, children dressed as goblins and ghosts would play tricks and cause trouble, but who is to say it wasn't the real ghosts and goblins being mischievous.At Halloween parties, children bob for apples and girls comb their hair in front of a mirror to glimpse their future husbands.Many of the fun games ancient rituals that were based in very basic spells and magic and practiced on All Hallows Eve when magical powers were said to be at their strongest.Today, celebrations of Halloween remain popular.Children still go trick or treating.Jack-o-lanterns glow on porches and bobbing for apples and other games still entertain at parties.In some schools and communities they do not recognize the celebration of Halloween proper due to the connection with Paganism.Instead, they have a Fall Harvest, recognizing the coming of winter.A Real Test in My Life When I was a ten-year-old girl, I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life”.That was a „real ‟ test to me, I had no other choice, though.First was to draft the speech.第18页

This was just a piece of cake to me;I was a good writer----something to pride myself on.The hard part lied with my oral presentation;to read from the paper was not allowed;I had to give the speech from my memory and in front of such a big audience!

A real trial began when I stood on the platform, my mind blank and my legs trembling.Somewhere from the corner came some giggling or what.My eyes became dim and I sensed some cool sweat dripping down my face.How much time had passed by, I didn‟t know.My audiences were still waiting, patiently and without signs of rushing me.Gradually I found myself back, stammering out my speech.Finally I finished.After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding.I made it.From then on, my fear for talking before an audience disappeared.Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn to be a great speaker.National Day Ceremony October 1st is China's National Day.It's also a public holiday.While many Chinese try to get out spending their holidays elsewhere, a lot of people from different parts of the country travel all the way to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony before sunrise and sing the national anthem.Still, many others choose to stay at home to enjoy various kinds of celebrations on TV.On this day of national jubilation, China Radio International has prepared for you some hearty songs that express people's happiness over the holiday and the pride for being a part of the Chinese nation.Chinese people have a strong sense of national pride.They are proud of the accumulation of culture over five thousand years of history.Many songs are reflections of this affection.Native American Wedding Customs In Native American Wedding ceremony, the couple takes seven steps clockwise around a sacred fire.The groom will take the first step and recite a vow.This ritual continues to take place as they both complete the seven steps.In some instances, the bride and groom exchange small gifts that are symbolic of their love and life together, such as corn, feathers, stones, etc.The corn stands for fertility.The feathers represent loyalty, and the stones symbolize strength.As the bride and groom take their symbolic walk, the guests join hands forming a circle around them and the fire.6.2考官可能问道的问题为：
