C:Right.A, what family stories impressed you most? Can you share with us? A:最令我印象深刻的应该就是曾经在与父母吵架后而离家出走。但是我身上没钱,所以在挨饿两顿饭后,坚持不住了不得不回家向父母道歉。其实现在回想一下还真是可笑。

A: 嗨,朋友们,我最近我在打算向我的女友求婚。但她是一个外国人,我父母对此还有些担忧。
如今,人们经常对多文化婚姻持保留意见,因为种族和文化差异可能使婚姻生活复杂化。然而,仍有很多人拥有和谐和幸福的多文化婚姻。你们怎么看?你介意和不同文化背景的人结婚吗? A:Hi guys, I‟m thinking propose to my girlfriend recently.But since she is a foreigner, my parents still have some concerns.Nowadays, people often harbor reservations about a mixed marriage because racial and cultural differences may complicate the marriage life.However, still many people have harmonious and happy marriages across nations.How about you guys? Would you mind marrying a person from a different culture or nation? B: 嗯, 考虑到文化冲突,其实我不太接受多文化婚姻。首先,我认为对我来说,很难爱上不同的文化背景的人。俗话说物以类聚人以群分。来自不同文化的人可能会在观点,行为上有冲突。我们怎么去处理异族婚姻带来的文化差异呢?
B: Hmm, due to the cultural crush, actually I don‟t prefer a mixed marriage.First of all, I think for me, it‟s difficult to fall in love with someone from a different culture.There‟s a saying that birds with the same feather, block together.People from different culture might have many conflicts in their values, opinions, behaviors.How to deal with the cultural difference in mixed marriage?
C:我觉得相互理解对于婚姻是非常重要的。只要夫妻双方相互理解,那么文化冲突其实也就不是一个大问题。相反,我认为这是一件好事。知道不同的人对同一件事的看法是非常有趣的事。这种小冲突也可以激发你接受新的事物或观点。一旦你可以尽你最大的努力去理解和尊重对方,你可以在混合婚姻有更多乐趣。
C:I think understanding each other is very important for a marriage.If there is mutual understanding between the couple, then I don‟t think the cultural crash is a big issue.On the contrary, I think it‟s a good thing.It‟s very interesting to know different people‟s opinions to one thing.This kind of small conflicts can also inspire you to accept fresh things or opinions.And once you can try your best to understand and respect each other, you can have much more fun in a mixed marriage.D:是的,我同意c。有许多因素可能会导致一个失败的婚姻,如误解,冷漠,和其他失衡因素。但我认为最大的问题可能是不当的沟通。面对文化冲突,在忽视或批判你的爱人之前,首先,你可以与他/她进行积极沟通,让他/她知道你的疑惑和感受,并努力了解接受他/她的真实想法和感受。只要沟通恰当,我相信你们可以战胜文化冲突。因为首先你们相爱,而爱的基础是信任和理解。
D: Yes I agree with C.There are many factors might lead to a failed marriage, such as misunderstanding, apathy, and other imbalances.But I think the biggest issue might be the improper communications.When cultural crush occurs, before ignore or judge your lover, first you can communicate with him/her in a proper way, to let him/her know your questions and feelings, and try to understand what he/she think and feel.I believe that you can work through the conflicts with harmonious communications, because first of all you love each other.And the foundation of love is trust and understanding.A:好吧,我想我知道如何说服我的父母了。我相信我和女朋友会有一个非常和谐幸福的多文化婚姻生活。
A: Ok, I think I know how to persuade my parents.And I believe my girlfriend and I will have a very harmonious and happy mixed marriage life.B&C&D: 提前恭喜了!
B&C&D: Congratulations in advance!
第八篇
A:嗨,老兄,最近怎么样?有什么新鲜事么?我太无聊了。A: Hey buddy, anything special these days? I am so bored.B: 没呀。不过我上周去我姐姐家了,感受很深,现在的小孩真的被宠坏了。。B: Nothing.I visited my sister last weekend.I have to say how spoiled nowadays children are.C:是呀,现在好多小孩都被宠坏了。我知道一个事情,你们听后肯定都觉得很不可思议。
有一个上海复旦大学的学生找不到回学校的路了,然后警察不得不送他回学校。结果他的爸爸居然说这是他家小孩第一次独自旅行。不过很讽刺的是,他们其实是上海本地人。。C: That‟s true.Nowadays, a lot of children have been spoiled.I knew 1 story totally unbelievable: One college student from Fu Dan University got lost on his way to school.The policeman had to escort him back.His father said it was the 1st time his son went on a long journey alone.Ironically, they are local, they are from SH.B: 我完全相信这种事会发生。我想我姐姐的小孩也是被溺爱的。她是家里面的独女,父母又忙于工作,绝大多数时间都是奶奶在照顾她。所以她父母觉得亏欠她太多,基本上她奶奶是对她有求必应的。在他们眼里,她就说掌上明珠。
B: It is possible.I believe it.My sister‟s baby, Lily, is so overindulged.She is the only child.Her parents are busy at work.And most of the time Granny takes care of her.Her parents think they owe her too much, thus they grant whatever is requested.Lily is the apple of their eye.A:是的,这是一个父母现在溺爱小孩的原因。同时,现在有些父母,因为他们自己的童年很苦,现在自己有余钱了,就希望给他们的孩子创造更幸福舒适的童年,所以经常给他们买很多玩具,帮他们做任何事情。
A: Right.That‟s one of the reasons why parents spoil their child.And also there are some parents who have bitter childhood.Now since they have more spare money, they try their best to make their children‟s life happier, more comfortable.Thus they buy them many toys, help them do everything.D:唉,其实父母溺爱会带来很严重的后果。他们的小孩会变得很自我中心,生活也不能自理,并且很容易染上坏习惯。我觉得真的父母应该意识到溺爱孩子的这些后果,停止溺爱,多注重家庭教育,引导孩子往积极向上的方向发展。
C: Too bad.Actually parents‟ spoiling their children will bring bad effects.Their children will become self-centered and will be unable to live independently, and also easily to acquire bad habits.I think parents should realize these bad effects of spoiling children.And they should stop spoil their children by paying more attention to their family teaching.Raise their children in a positive, healthy and upward direction.

Yes.We’d like to know your opinions about your teaching and research capacities.We welcome suggestions and criticisms.The campus is very beautiful and all the teachers are kind and helpful, and the students work hard.Thank you very much for your time.Each university has its own strong points.In fact, we can basically divide all the universities in China into 2 groups.Some of them are good on the whole.Others may not be famous, but they are really strong in some departments or research fields.At the library
How many books can I borrow altogether?
Could you recommend me an American novel?
We read newspapers and magazines in the reading room everyday.In the library, there are usually three sections: references, fiction(文学类书籍)and nonfiction.The open stacks system is applied in the library.Borrowing is limited to five books and we have to renew them in two months.About tests
I have been sitting here for more than 2 hours working on the different and difficult English words and found no interest in it.It’s all that I have to take part in the CET-4.Could you give me some tips on how to prepare for the exams?
But I have been having a lot of difficulty doing listening part of CET-4.Taking tests needs some special techniques.It is easier said than done.I can understand how you feel about it.I had CET-4 last semester and wanted to drop it after the first several weeks, but I decided to stick to it and I am glad I did.By the time it was over, I had really learned a lot.If you are really concerned about the social development, you may find that what we can learn in class is not enough for us in the future.So we need to learn something outside the class.If you don’t take the exam, how can you learn if you have already acquired the knowledge?
I never wait until the last minute before the exams.We must work hard in the course of our study.He is punishing himself for not allowing more time to intake basic materials;He is having emotional anxiety and physical fatigue which will block his performance.All course materials should be reviewed at least once a week after being studied, again at midway, and then again in the final review before the exams.Discussing English learning
I often speak English with my friends.To tell you the truth, I seldom speak English.I make mistakes whenever I open my mouth to speak English.No mistakes, no progress.I think the best way to improve our oral English is to speak as much as possible.About Teaching
The multimedia system helps foreign language learners to learn faster and better.I think in this way the benefit for the English learner does not stop at the improvement of their spoken English.I am looking forward to the popularization of the multimedia system.Can you use them freely?
I can cope with the written exam, but as for the oral English….We only have one oral classe every week;while after the class, the chance for me to speak to native speakers is so slim.About one’s future career
I’d like to be a/an biologist/physician/college professor/teacher/programmer/accountant.etc.I can travel to a lot of places of interest if I work as a sales manager.Education/science and technology/social stability /international trade is essential to the
development of our country,so I want to have a career in…
What matters most to me is a friendly atmosphere/comfortable working environment /handsome pay/good prospects of promotion/challenging tasks.Where there’s a will, there is a way.Talent and a bit of luck are all you need to realize your dreams.I never doubt that my dream will come true some day.I think it is wise to be realistic/not to aim at smething that is beyond you.What do you want to do after graduation?
Do you think I should get my mater’s degree?
The more education you have, the better chance you can get.I want to pursue my graduate study.You know great achievements have been made in my field but I don’t think what I’ve learned so far is enough for me for the future work.If you don’t make plans ahead of others, you will lag behind
Life and sports
Now I find that getting a good work-out a couple of times a week actually makes me feel more energetic.I like swimming, but I prefer to play table tennis.I have benign working out every day for a month now.I am fine with every sport as long as it can give me physical training.What about you.Entertainments
How do you spend your spare time?
What do you usually do on weekends?
I always find nothing to do in my spare time.I have many things to do to enjoy myself after school.I can sit still all day, listening to some popular or classical music.Listening to music can help you to relax after a whole day for a whole week’s study.I like going to surf the Internet on weekends.It’s not important what I chat.I can do that with many kinds of people, learning about the society from what they say and the way they say it.Shopping
I usually do my shopping in large supermarkets/campus stores/shops nearby, since they often have good buys/it saves time.Supermarkets are so convenient.You can get almost everything you want in a big supermarket.I like books/music, so sometimes I go to a campus bookstore to hunt for my favorite CDs/recent bestsellers.I seldom go shopping.It takes too much time.Part-time jobs
The important thing, I think, is to get some working experience.The pay is the secondary.In a part-time job you can learn things that you can’t normally learn no campus/from books I need to support myself, so I am really concerned with how much I can earn.I would like to find a part-time job as an office worker/secretary/receptionist /tour guide/waitress/ tutor/computer operator.Ⅲ、英语口语比赛部分参考试题

Hi.This week, I got the chance to sit down with some impressive students at Lorain County Community College in Ohio.One of them was a woman named Andrea Ashley.Two years ago, Andrea lost her job as an HR analyst.Today, she’s getting certified in the fast-growing field of electronic medical records.Before enrolling at Lorain, Andrea told me she was looking everywhere trying to find a new job.But without a degree, she said that nobody would hire her.Andrea’s story isn’t unique.I’ve met so many Americans who are out there pounding the pavement looking for work only to discover that they need new skills.And I’ve met a lot of employers who are looking for workers, but can’t find ones with the skills they’re looking for.So we should be doing everything we can to put higher education within reach for every American – because at a time when the unemployment rate for Americans with at least a college degree is about half the national average, it’s never been more important.But here’s the thing: it’s also never been more expensive.Students who take out loans to pay for college graduate owing an average of $25,000.For the first time,Americans owe more debt on their student loans than they do on their credit cards.And for many working families, the idea of owing that much money means that higher education is simply out of reach for their children.In America, higher education cannot be a luxury.It’s an economic imperative that every family must be able to afford.That’s why next week I’ll be visiting colleges across the country, talking to students about how we can make higher education more affordable – and what’s at stake right now if Congress doesn’t do something about it.You see, if Congress doesn’t act, on July 1st interest rates on some student loans will double.Nearly seven and half million students will end up owing more on their loan payments.That would be a tremendous blow.And it’s completely preventable.This issue didn’t come out of nowhere.For some time now, I’ve been calling on Congress to take steps to make higher education more affordable – to prevent these interest rates from doubling, to extend the tuition tax credit that has saved middle-class families millions of dollars, and to double the number of work-study jobs over the next five years.Instead, over the past few years, Republicans in Congress have voted against new ways to make college more affordable for middle-class families, and voted for huge new tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires – tax cuts that would have to be paid for by cutting things like education and job-training programs that give students new opportunities to work and succeed.We cannot just cut our way to prosperity.Making it harder for our young people to afford higher education and earn their degrees is nothing more than cutting our own future off at the knees.Congress needs to keep interest rates on student loans from doubling, and they need to do it now.This is a question of values.We cannot let America become a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of people struggle to get by.We’ve got to build an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.That’s how the middle class gets stronger.That’s an economy that’s built to last.And I’m not only going to take that case to college campuses next week – I’m going to take it to every part of the country this year.Thanks, and have a great weekend.
第四篇:英语口语练习
强文推荐!英语口语的学习是一个持之以恒的过程

英语口语的学习是一个持之以恒的过程,这不仅限于IELTS的学习中。但是如果找不到适合自己的学习方法,学习效果往往会让自己很失望。下面就教你几招,在日常训练中你可以实践一下:
1、初学者
在多年的学习和教学实践中,我发现初学口语的最有效方法就是背诵英文句型或段落。在背诵前切记要跟着录音带大声朗读5遍以上。有读者会说,我试过了但记不住。其实,背诵时最好有中文译文,一边看句子,一边背。这样就可以确定背不下来是因为情节的连贯问题,而不是因为英语水平的问题。
2、中级水平
许多通过了四级或六级的同学只是在阅读、听力或写作方面有能力,并不代表口语也有相应的水平。大家不要认为自己学的口语教材简单,可以做个试验:拿一篇你认为很浅显的文章,将其翻译成汉语,让别人将每句汉语读给你听,然后你再翻译成英文。如果没问题,说明你口语很好,否则就需要多做这种练习。
3、特别方法
(1)每晚入睡以前躺在床上,用英文对自己自言自语,将一天发生的事情描述下来。要持之以恒。
(2)同一个英文对白的电影,每星期至少看一次,连续三个月以上,不要看不同的,口语一定大有进步。
这些都是比较适合中国学生的方法。大家可以从中选出最适合自己的。
最后,给大家一个建议,在雅思口语中要注意举一反三。例如,考试时考官给的卡片上如果是这样写的:
Describe the most beautiful natural scenery you have ever seen.You should say
What it is specific about
Where you see it
Who you go with
And explain why you think it is the most beautiful
考生要马上和interesting trip联系到一起,不要认为是新的话题。你可以谈论青岛、大连或深圳的某些景色。考官可能还会问以下问题:
What measures does your government take to protect natural scenery?Do you think it is effective?What role does tourism play in your country's economy?What should you pay attention to in travel?所以,在平时练习中,就某一话题自己也应尽可能地举一反三,多角度给自己提出问题,练习回答,这样既可应对考试,也能切实提高自己英语口语的反映能力。
