英语口语考试题目

1.Do you think man lives in harmony with nature now?

No, the relationship between man and nature is not as harmonies as before.With the development of our economy, our environment has become more and more serious while this issue affects people’s work study and daily life.Human develop economy at the expense of nature, therefore, severe environmental deterioration like soil erosion, droughts and green house take place frequently.It seems like that we fall into a vicious circle, which makes our life becoming worse.2.Can you give some examples to show environmental problems which are the consequences of man’ activities? According to you, what can we do to solve or to prevent the problems you have just mentioned?

Nowadays, the relationship between man and nature is not as harmonies as before.Man’s unreasonable activities cause series of environmental problems, like green house, soil erosion, droughts etc.In my view, we shouldn’t develop our economy at the expense of nature.And we should be aware that natural resources are not inexhaustible.Therefore, we must take some active actions to protect our environment.We’d better plan more trees, reduce waste, limit pollution pour and strengthen cyclic utilization.In a word, we should take as little as possible from nation and put back into it as much as we can.3.How has technology made our life easier? Could you give some examples?

Through technology, mankind has united the globe in a continuous civilization that is capable of living standards and life expectancy never before experienced.Take the Internet for example.Surfing on the Internet can expand our horizon and add to our knowledge.Almost everything that you are interested in can be found on the Internet easily.The development of the email and net-chatting make it more convenient to get in touch with our friends, making the earth a small village.What’s more, it also brings a revolution in business because the restrict of the region is less and less important and the efficiency is improved a lot.4.Is the advance of technology always a good thing? How should we avoid its negative points? No.In a strict sense, technology is a double-edged sword, which can be used equally for good or evil.Through technology, mankind has united the globe in a continuous civilization that is capable of living standards and life expectancy never before experienced.But on the other hand, technology has hidden a big security risk, like weapons of mass destruction, Identity theft.In my view, effective measures should be taken to avoid its negative points.First, we should bring the theory of “correct use technology” into countries, set technology management rules and conduct education activities.Second, it is essential that law and regulations be worked out and enforced by the government.Only by the co-efforts of the whole society could technology work reasonable and bring benefit to people’s well-beings.5.There are millions of students graduating from university every year.Most of them may go to work right afterwards, while others may delay their employment plan to further their education such as being engaged in postgraduate programs.In your opinion, which of the following choice is more rational—“work first and then postgraduate education, or vice versa?”

In my opinion, I think work first and then postgraduate education is more rational.In this way, one person can come into contact with varies kinds of work and gain a lot of practical experiences, broaden his horizon and have a general impression of knowledge that mentioned in books.After that, when he review or learn knowledge points that refers to what he had experienced, it will be easier for him to full awareness contents of books.Besides, it’s also a good chance to learn new ways to do his work better.Generally speaking, I think it’s a better way to combine theory with practice, and benefit one’s growing best.6.Nowadays finding a job is not easy, which involves such factors as job hunters’ experience, ability, diploma, personality and so on.As for the ability and diploma, which do you think plays the more important role in securing a job?

There is not doubt that ability and diploma are all take the more important place.Although many Chinese people advocate that diploma is the best evidence of a talent, I insisted that only a person have real ability and learning, can he accomplish his tasks successfully and serve our motherland worthily.I order to get a better diploma, many people sit at his desk studying day and night, but don’t pay attention to the improvement of personnel ability like work ability, communication ability, organization ability etc.Then this had very the multi-high-grades but low ability person.7.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? “Literature can teach you a lot about real life.”

Sure, I am agreeing that literature can teach us a lot of our real life.Literature, contains varies kinds of form like poetry、novel、play、essay etc.It’s the reaction of social life in a certain era.As a reader, the function of literature is to convey inner ideas feelings and imagines of writer.And literature has drawn its materials from real life.We experience the drama when we read the literature, and share different kinds of from all over the world.Then, we connect it with our real life, and express more feelings.Therefore, we learn a lot of our real life from it.8.Describe a book, a story or a movie you like most and its influence on your life.“The Notebook” is my favorite movie.In this movie, the elder Noah is battling with his pain and suffering to a woman who has fallen victim to an illness and tries his best to help her remember.When she does, it is one of the best moments in the film;as melodramatic as all of it is, we come to the movies to be swept away into another time and place, and that's where “The Notebook” gets it right.The movie is so simple and yet so honest about love that I couldn't help but get swept up in the whole melodrama of it all.It makes me start to discover and to feel the love besides me.

第四篇：中国政法大学 法律英语口语试题及答案整理

1.To discuss the differences between the civil law system and the common law system.(P4)There are many differences between civil law system and common law system.Ⅰ The original places are different.The civil law system originated in ancient Rome, and the common law system originated in England.起源地不同，民法起源于古罗马，普通法起源于英格兰

Ⅱ The main traditional source of the common law is cases, while the main traditional source of the civil law is legislation.Thus there are many codes in civil law countries instead of unwritten laws in common law system.普通法的主要传统渊源是案例法，民法的主要传统渊源是成文法。因此民法国家用许多成文法典取代普通法国家的不成文法

Ⅲ The civil law system pays more attention to substantive law;the common law system pays more attention to procedural rules.民法法系更多关注实体法，普通法更关注程序规则

Ⅳ The classification of law is different.The civil law is separated into public law and private law, the common law is separated into common law and equity.法的分类不同，民法法系分为公法和私法，普通法法系分为普通法和衡平法

Ⅴ The role of judges and professors is another difference.Since theory and doctrines is important in legal education of civil law system, professor plays the important role to expose laws to students.In the contrary, case-law is the main source of common law, thus the judges has the discretion to make laws while trialing cases.法官和学者的作用不同，因为理论和学说在民法法系中的重要性，学者在教授学生法律时十分重要。相反的，案例法是普通法法系的主要渊源，因此法官在审理案件时有造法的自由裁量权

Ⅵ The civil procedure: Adversary system(对抗式诉讼)of common law system needs the parties to show the case the jury or the judges.And the judges need to be neutral and impartial.Inquisitorial system（纠问式诉讼）in civil law countries give the judges the power to investigate the case during the trail and also can ask the parties and the witnesses.民事诉讼程序：普通法法系的对抗式需要双方把案件展示给法官或陪审团。法官应该中立和公正。民法法系的纠问式诉讼给予法官在审理过程中调查案件的权力，也可以讯问双方当事人和证人。

To discuss the main features of the American court system(P17-19)There are fifty-two court systems in the U.S.----each of the fifty states has its own system of courts, one for the District of Columbia and a federal system.They are independent systems of court.美国存在52个法院系统，每一个州都有自己的法院系统，还有一个是哥伦比亚特区的和一个联邦法院系统。它们都是独立的法院系统。

In the state court systems, court structures and court nomenclature vary from state to state.But all the state court systems exhibit a hierarchical structure, in which the decisions of lower courts may be taken for review to a higher court.Typically a state system will include several tiers of court：

在州法院系统中，法院的结构和名称各不相同。但所有的州法院系统都是一种层级结构，低级法院的判决可能被高级法院所推翻，但型的州法院系统通常包括以下几个层级： 1)Trial courts of inferior jurisdiction 2)trial courts of general jurisdiction 3)appellate courts 下级管辖权的初审法院 普遍管辖权的初审法院 上诉法院

The trial courts of inferior jurisdiction hear civil suits involving relatively small amounts of money and minor violations of the criminal law.While the trial courts of general jurisdiction can hear all kinds of cases, without monetary or subject matter limitation.下级管辖权的初审法院审理标的额相对小的民事案件和轻微的刑事违法案件。普遍管辖权的初审法院审理各种类型的案件，没有数额或标的的限制。Every case should first be heard at the trial court.Then the party who loses at the trial court stage has a right to appeal case to the appellate court.Every state has its court of last resort, the appellate court which makes the final decision(subject to occasional review on ―federal questions‖ by the Supreme Court of the United States)of what the law is and should be.Most states have created intermediate appellate courts, empowered to finally dispose of the bulk of appellate cases.每个案件都应该先在初审法院审理，输掉的一方有权将案件上诉到上诉法院，每个州都有它的终审法院，受理上诉的法院会作出最终的裁决（受制于美国最高法院作出的关于联邦问题的临时性的判决对法律的解释）大多数州都有中级上诉法院，有权最终处理大多数经上诉法院审理的案子。

The structure of the federal judicial system is similar to what is found in the various states.There are three levels of courts:(1)U.S.district courts(trial courts of general jurisdiction)and various courts of limited jurisdiction

(2)U.S.courts of appeals(intermediate courts of appeals), and(3)the United States Supreme Court.Not like the other courts in federal judicial systems which are created by congress, the Supreme Court is created by Constitution.There are a few specialized federal courts(e.g., the claims courts or the tax court)which operate like District court in their specialized jurisdiction.联邦法院的结构类似于各州的结构，分为三层：

有普遍管辖权的联邦地区法院，和有各种有限管辖权的法院 联邦上诉法院（中级上诉法院）和

美国最高法院。不像联邦司法系统的由国会产生的其他法院，最高法院由宪法产生。还有一些联邦专门法院，比如索赔法院和税务法院，运作类似于联邦地区法院，只是拥有专门管辖权。

3.To discuss the main features of the American court system There are fifty-two court systems in the U.S.each state has its own system of courts, one for the District of Columbia and a federal system.In the state court systems, court structures vary from state to state.But they all exhibit a hierarchical structure;decisions of lower courts may be reviewed by higher courts.A state system includes:

1)Trial courts of inferior jurisdiction 2)trial courts of general jurisdiction 3)appellate courts The trial courts of inferior jurisdiction hear civil litigations involving small amounts of money and minor violations of the criminal law.While the trial courts of general jurisdiction can hear all kinds of cases.Every case should first be heard at the trial court.Then it can be appealed to the appellate court.Every state has its court of last resort.The structure of the federal system is similar.There are three levels of courts:

(1)U.S.district courts(2)U.S.courts of appeals

(3)the United States Supreme Court.Not like the other courts in federal systems which are created by congress, the Supreme Court is created by Constitution.There are a few specialized federal courts

翻译：请简述美国法庭系统的特点

美国的52个州都有其自己的法院系统。州与州之间法院结构和法院的名称也各不相同，但是所有州的法院体制都表现出所谓的层级结构，也就是一种组织方式的不同——低一级法院做出的判决可以在更高一级审判组织重新审查。学生阅读的案例书中90%或者更多的州法院案例是上诉案件的判决，但是所有这些上诉案件在到达州最高法院之前都经过了初审阶段，也许还经过中级上诉法院阶段。

1具有有限管辖权的初审法院2具有普遍管辖权的初审法院3上诉法院

每个州都有自己的初级或低级法院，它的管辖权限定在涉及小数额金钱争议的民事诉讼案件，和轻微的刑事案件。具有普遍管辖权的法院可以审判所有案件。

每个案子必须先有初审法院进行审理，然后可以上诉到上诉法院，每个州都 有自己的终审法院 联邦法院系统很相似，法院受理的大部分案件可以归入一下三种案件：（1）联邦地方法院（2）联邦上诉法院（3）联邦最高法院。最高法院是唯一的一个依联邦宪法直接设置的法院

另一个版本：

There are fifty-two court systems in the U.S.----each of the fifty states has its own system of courts, one for the District of Columbia and a federal system.They are independent systems of court.In the state court systems, court structures and court nomenclature vary from state to state.But all the state court systems exhibit a hierarchical structure, in which the decisions of lower courts may be taken for review to a higher court.Typically a state system will include several tiers of court：

首先，它可以使参与者以独特的方式提起诉讼

其次，它可以使法院更容易的了解整个案件。为公民进行诉讼提供方便

最后，节省法律资源并且有助于法律程序的流畅化。另一个版本：

First, defining jurisdiction, and make it simple will help agencies, organizations and citizens to institute legal proceedings to the judicial authorities which have jurisdiction over it, in order to protect the public interests and legitimate rights and interests of the citizens.Next, most ordinary cases will be placed under the primary jurisdiction of the judiciary, it is not only easy for the judiciary to spot investigation to verify the case , conduct legal education, but also to facilitate the participants to take part in the proceedings and the people to hear the case.Finally, this can save manpower, money and time, and smooth the conduct of legal proceedings to protect the procedural rights of participants in the proceedings.5)Please explain a part of the Constitution that impresses you the most.What impress me most is the Constitution includes many significant principles.For example: checks and balances.The government structure is established by Articles Ⅰ through Ⅶ of the Constitution.The document outlines the three main branches , the legislative branch is embodied in the bicameral Congress，the United State Congress which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate ,In addition, it establishes limits on federal and state legislative power;the executive branch is headed by president who is elected by all the qualified Americans;the judicial branch is headed by the Supreme Court.This genius institutional design prevents one of the three branches from acquiring dominance over the other.These structural and procedural safeguards help the government rule fairly and justly.令我印象最深刻的是美国宪法中包含很多重要的宪法原则，例如制约与平衡原则。

美国宪法的第一条至第七条规定了政府的结构组织，条文概括了关于政府职能的三个分支，立法权归属于两院制国会,国会分为参议院和下议院，行政大权由总统为首的内阁掌握，总统由全美人民投票选举，司法权则归属于以联邦最高法院为首的各级法院。这种天才的制度设计防止权力过分集中。这些制度上和程序上的保障使得政府的统治更加公平和正义。

6.To discuss the significance of case Marbury vs.Madison.P47-59 Marbury vs.Madison is a landmark case in United States law.It formed the basis for the exercise of judicial review in the United States under the Constitution.In this case, Chief Justice Marshall ruled that the Supreme Court could not grant relief to the plaintiff Marbury because it did not has the jurisdiction of the case.This satisfied the immediate concerns of the Republicans and sidestepped the controversy, but the great significance of the case lay in the Court‘s assumption to itself of the final authority to determine if the Judiciary Act or any other act of Congress was constitutional.Thus the opinion ceded the immediate issue while profoundly enhancing the Court‘s authority.So the case was the first strong pronouncement of the principle of judicial review, which is the power of the Court to examine legislation and other acts of Congress and to decide their constitutionality.The doctrine also embraces the power of the Court to explain the meaning of the various sections of the Constitution as they apply to particular case brought before the Court.The principle of judicial review has great influence in United States, it has been a nature and necessary part of United States government structure.Over the years, a serious of Court decisions has affected a change in the way many Constitution clauses are interpreted, without amendment to the actual text of the Constitution.And if the actions of Congress or federal agencies are challenged as to the constitutionality, it is the court system that ultimately decides whether or not they are allowable under the Constitution.The case and judicial review also enhance the Court‘s authority and assert the power of the judiciary under the principle of checks and balances.The other branches such as the legislative bodies and executive offices and levels of government have not always been happy with this, but by now the principle is firmly established and asserted, even the President could not challenge it.In a word, the case established the principle of judicial review which has been a permanent and indispensable feature of United States constitutional system.So the constitutional scholars, by consensus, regard the case as the most important case the Supreme Court ever has decided.马伯里诉麦迪逊案，是美国法律历史上具有里程碑意义的案件。它奠定了美国宪法中司法审查的先例。

本案中，首席大法官马歇尔裁定联邦最高法院不能判原告马伯里胜诉，因为它不具有此案的司法管辖权。判决解决了了共和党的燃眉之急，避开了争议，但争议是它最大的意义在于法庭假定自己拥有审查立法或者国会的举动违宪与否的权力。这种评价在搁置争议的同时极大的提升了法院的权威。

所以这个案件第一次确立了司法审查原则，赋予了最高法院向最高行政当局和国家立法机构进行违宪审查的权力。此项原则同时也赋予了最高法院的宪法最终解释权。

司法审查原则的确立在美国具有非凡的意义，它成为美国政府组织结构中理所当然且必须存在的的组成部分。这么多年来，最高法院的判决已经改变了很多宪法条文的解释，却没有对原文进行修正。当国会或者行政当局的行为面临违宪质疑的时候，是法院系统拥有最终的判决权。

这个案件以及司法审查原则同时也提升了最高法的权威，进一步确认了制衡原则中的司法权。立法和行政对此并不满意，但是现在，这项制度已经建立起来，并且连总统也不能挑战它。

总之一句话，这个案件确立了美国宪法制度中不可或缺的司法审查制度。所以宪法学者，一致认为此案件是美国历史上最重要的案件。

7.The main differences between substantive law and procedural law.(P99-P101)实体法与程序法的区别

Procedural law are said to define the form and method by which legal rights are enforced.While substantive law are said to define the legal rights themselves.Thus, procedure is often referred to as ―adjective law“，because procedural rules function to secure the objectives of substantive law.程序法一般规定权利实现的形式和方法，实体法则规定权利内容本身，因此，程序法经常被称作“法律程序法”，因为程序法的功能在于保障实体法中的权利的实现。The differences are as follows:两者区别

They contain different rules and substances.Substantive law provides for the rules about duties or rights.While procedural law sets rules about form or method.For example, in the area of tort law, substantive tort rules govern how the injured person‘s damages should be measured.In contrast, the law of procedural establishes the method to begin a lawsuit and the degree of detail with which the plaintiff must describe the ―claim‖.Also, it also provide for the rules of evidence.它们包含了不同的规则和内容。实体法提供了有关权利和义务的规则。而程序法规定了实现权利和履行义务的方法。例如，在侵权法领域，侵权责任法（实体法）规定了损害赔偿的计算方法，相反，程序法确立了诉讼程序以及被告陈述“诉求“时所应具备的细节程度，同时，它还规定了有关证据规则。

Statutes of frauds reflect both procedural policy and substantive policy.They are often designed to avoid the difficulties that one party asserts the existence of an oral contract and the other party denies its existence.However, instead of this procedural purpose, statutes of frauds are sometimes supported by a ―cautionary‖ policy.This policy is a substantive one because it focus on behavior outside the context of litigation rather than problems that oral contracts would cause in the litigation process.反欺诈法反映了实体决策和程序决策的不同。反欺诈法中制度设计的初衷在于解决这种困难：双方当事人约定口头合同，但另一方反悔否认此合同的存在。然而，反欺诈法,有时是由一个警示性政策而不是基于程序性目的。该策略是实体法上的，因为它专注于诉讼背景下的外在行为，而不是口头合同在诉讼过程中所能引发的问题。

8.Whether the death penalty should be abolished in America.(P66-P68)在美国死刑是否应当被废除？

These are the reasons why the death penalty should be abolished:Capital punishment is a flawed machine.Evidence proves that the criminal justice system(CJS)is riddled with errors, corrupt officials, and flawed practices, yet this system is still permitted to execute people.The fact so many individuals have been exonerated from death row, including twelve in 2003 alone, should be a red flag that the system needs overhauled.The moral argument: In many instances the moral argument with regard to capital punishment is centered on the ―eye for an eye,‖ or ―life for a life‖ philosophy.This argument advocates for the death penalty as morally just punishment for capital offenses.However, the real moral question should be whether anyone is qualified to say who should live and who should die.Taking another person‘s life via a criminal act, or via capital punishment is wrong.In most cases, offenders who have been sentenced to death have taken a life.Yet, isn‘t it ironic that a society, which supposedly values human life so much that it will take the life of a murderer, will subscribe to a criminal justice system that can potentially execute innocent people? The expense: Housing inmates on death row is much more expensive than housing inmates in a maximum security facility.This statement is true.The pre-trial and trial costs of death penalty cases are much greater than non-capital cases.Also, the cost of appeals and retrials for death penalty cases is astronomical.Instead of spending billions of dollars nationwide to condemn criminals to death, the money saved by sentencing prisoners to life without parole should be spent on crime prevention programs and education, rehabilitation, and putting back into the economy.为什么应当废除死刑有这样几个理由：死刑是一个有缺陷的机制。证据表明，刑事司法系统（CJS）充斥着错误、贪官污吏和有缺陷的做法，但这个系统是仍然被授权作为执行死刑的机构。事实上，许多死囚被宣布无罪，仅在2003年就包括12例，这警示我们该系统需要大修。从道德的角度来说：在许多情况下，关于死刑的道德争论集中在―以眼还眼‖，或―以命抵命‖的经营理念。这个论点主张死刑的道义上的公正地惩罚死罪。然而，真正的道德问题应该是是否有人有资格说应由谁生谁死。以另一个人的生命通过一种犯罪行为，或者通过死刑是错误的。在大多数情况下，已被判处死刑的罪犯被保留了生命。然而，具有讽刺意味的是，一个理应重视人的生命社会，却剥夺一个杀人犯的生命，而这个刑事司法系统有可能对无辜的人执行死刑？就费用而言：死囚监狱需要比囚犯监狱最为更昂贵的安全设施。这种说法是真实的。预审和审判死刑案件的成本远远大于非死刑案件。此外，死刑案件的上诉和再审的成本是天文数字。省下来的钱应该花在预防犯罪方案和教育，重塑，回到发展经济，而不是花费数十亿美元在全国范围内谴责罪犯死刑，判处终身监禁的囚犯。

9.To discuss the importance of Miranda warning(P62)Miranda warning is a warning that is required to be given by police in the United States to criminal suspects in police custody before they are interrogated to inform them about their constitutional rights.It includes the right toremain silent;being clearly informed of that anything the person says will be used against that person in court;the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent her or him.Miranda warning gurantees the constitutional rights citizens have during the criminal investigating process.Those rights are mainly from the fifth and sixth amendments.Miranda warning also means the confession made by the suspects cannot be used as the evidence in court to make a sentence.Therefore, this warning restrains the police from using illegal methods through undue process to investigate the crime and to get confession from suspects.米兰达警告：在刑事犯罪嫌疑人被询问之前，警察将其羁押时应该告诉他们的宪法权利。内容包括：有权保持沉默；但其说的每一句话都将作为呈堂证供；有权咨询律师，包括在其被询问的过程中律师也可以在场。如果嫌疑人没有钱请律师，也会为他免费请代理律师。

米兰达警告保证了公民在刑事犯罪调查过程中的宪法权利，主要是宪法修正案五和修正案六中的权利。米兰达警告同时也意味着嫌疑人的供述不能作为法庭审判的依据。

因此，米兰达警告限制了警察用非法的诉讼程序去调查犯罪以及从嫌疑人出得到供述。

10.To discuss the function of voir dire（P89）

The voir dire is the process used to select a jury.The prospective jurors are questioned about their backgrounds and potential biases before being chosen to sit on a jury.The function is to select a jury acceptable to both sides.Jurors are excluded by one or two methods: preemptory challenge and the challenge for cause.Jurors are excluded who 1)have already formed an opinion about the guilt or innocence of the accused;2)are related to any of the parties or legal actors in the case;

3)are physically or mentally impaired to the extent that the impairment will interfere with their decision-making process or 4)are otherwise considered to be incapable of remaining impartial until the case is presented.There are no limits to the number challenges for cause that either side may employ.Actually one of the unspoken purposes of the voir dire for the attorneys to get a feel for the personalities and likely views of the people on the jury panel.陪审团资格审查程序是用来选择一个合格的陪审团。

在被选择成为一个真正的陪审团成员之前，准陪审员们被询问关于他们的背景和潜在的偏见的问题。陪审团资格审查程序的功能是选择一个可以被双方当事人接受的陪审团。排除不符合条件的准陪审员是通过一个或者两个办法，即无因回避和有因回避。被排除的陪审员是以下几种人：（1）已经形成一个关于控告是否有罪或者无罪的观点的人（2）和本案中任何一方当事人有关系或者法律问题参与者有关系的（3）曾经在生理上和精神上受到过伤害的人，从某种程度上而言，这种伤害会干预到他们的决策过程（4从其他方面而言，是那些被认为不能保持公正直到案件被呈报的人。

这里没有限制对于任何一方可能被雇佣的有因回避的数量。

事实上，陪审团资格审查程序不言而喻的目的之一是对于律师来说可以得到一种对于他们的人格和可能的观点被采纳而且出现在陪审团成员的名单中的满足感。

11.on what do you think it is proper for the appellate courts to focus?(p19)(你认为上诉法院应该如何合理行使权力?)

The exercise of appellate jurisdiction is to review the action of the lower judicial tribunals of the state.Actually,the scope of judicial review which the court exercises in such cases is relatively narrow;it does not retry the case on the merits,and it does not substitute its idea of justice for those of the trial court;what it does is to review the record of the proceedings to determine whether or not the lower court committed error on its procedure or in applying the substantive law to the facts of the case.(行使上诉管辖权的法院职责即接收下级州司法审判机关的上诉。事实上，这些法院在上诉案件上的司法审查权限是相对狭窄的。它不对上诉案件的事实曲直进行重审，也并不完全推翻一审法院做出的审判意见；它要所的是检查一审法院的审判记录来判定是否下级法院有在程序和具体案件事实的法律适用上存在错误。)In my view,it is proper to restrict the functions of appellate court in the law applying and procedure aspects,instead of consuming another period of time to retry the case,which leads to a waste of judicial resources and failure to give its full attention to the novel and socially important controversies.This funtion may also better protect the appellate review right of each individual involved in the case.(在我看来，应该限制上诉法院在法律适用和程序等方面的权限，而非耗费时间进行重新审理，这样会导致司法资源的浪费而忽视新的真正重要的社会矛盾。上诉法院的这种功能也将更有利于重新审查案件中每个个体的权利。)

12.What‘s the differences between the torts and crimes?（P62）

(侵权与犯罪的差异何如？)As we all kown,important distinctions exist between civil and criminal laws.[Civil violations(civil wrongs)are often referred to as torts.] Here is a list of the main differences between crimes and torts:(众所周知，民法和刑法之间存在着十分显著的差异。民法上的过错一般就指向侵权。以下是犯罪与侵权之间一些差别：)Ⅰ Nature A crime is considered to be a wrong against all of society,whereas a tort is considered to be a private matter between the parties directly involved.（1、本质上的差异

犯罪指一种有违社会整体利益违法行为，而侵权则是发生在直接相关的当事人之间的一种私法上的违法行为。)

Ⅱ The persons who actually prosecute the case.A specially designated state prosecutor/federal official directs the proceedings when crimes are involved,However,in tort action the individual against whom the wrong has been committed generally hire an attorney to process the claim（2、提起诉讼的主体上的差异 一旦有犯罪行为产生，特殊授权的检察机关或者联邦机构将提起公诉；而在侵权行为中，过错方的相对方个体（即受害人）通常聘请一名律师进行诉讼。)

Ⅲ Punishments

One who commits a crime may be required to provide some forms of monetary restitution, additional punishments are also available, including fines, jail sentences, removal from public office and even execution.Excepting fines,the above remedies are not available in tort law,tort restitution relies primarily on monetary compensation.（3、法律责任的差异

实施犯罪的人将可能被判要支付一定形式的金钱赔偿，并且同时需要接受包括罚金、监禁、解除公职甚至剥夺生命等惩罚。

而在侵权法上，除了罚金之外，以上的所有救济方式都不适用。侵权法中的救济主要依靠金钱赔偿。)

Ⅳ Civil damages categorized in three types Compensation paid in civil courts is called damages.There are general, special, and punitive damages.General damages---compensate for any specific and demonstrable harm that has been caused.Special damages---compensate for conscious pain and suffering.Punitive/exemplary damages---the behavior of the actor was the result of an intentional disregard for the safety or well-being of others.In many cases a person‘s behavior may bring about both criminal and tort liability.(For example, any time an individual has been intentionally and physically harmed by another, the state may prosecute and punish, and the injured individual may also sue to recover civil damages.)（4、民事损害赔偿在分类上具有特殊性，分为三种类型

民事法庭中所判的补偿称为损害赔偿，分为一般损害赔偿、特殊损害赔偿以及惩罚性损害赔偿。一般损害赔偿指对已经发生的任何特定和可证的损害的补偿；特殊损害赔偿指对精神痛苦的补偿；而惩罚性赔偿适用于行为人故意漠视他人安全或健康而产生的损害行为。

在很多案例中，行为人的行为可能同时引发刑事责任和侵权责任。譬如：一旦一个人遭受到行为人故意的身体侵害，联邦就可能予以公诉并进行刑事处罚，同时，受害者也可以诉诸法院来请求加害人承担民事上的损害赔偿。）

13.To discuss the process of the creation of case law（by）

(谈一下判例法的形成过程)The decisions of judges, or of other officials empowered by the constitution or laws of a political entity to hear and decide controversies, create case law.As the name ―case law‖ suggests, a particular decision, or a collection of particular decisions, generate rules of general application, namely case law.It is a policy of the common law system that past judicial decisions are formally and generally binding for the disposition of similar present controversies before the decisions are overruled by higher courts.(法官的判决，或者其他某一政治实体的宪法或法律授权审理和决定争议的官员所做的决定，创设了判例法。就像“判例法”这一名称所表示的，一个特定的判决或特定判决的总汇产生了法律——即普通适用的原则。

普通法系的规则就在于，已经生效的司法裁决在被上级法院推翻之前对现有的相似争议的解决有正式和普遍的约束力。)

14.To discuss the differences between the binding precedents and persuasive precedents(by)(谈论一下具有约束力的判例和不具有约束力的判例的区别)

Binding precedent is the precedent that a court must follow(it is law).All prior judicial decisions in a specific court's jurisdiction heard at that court's level or higher are considered to be binding precedent.In contrast, persuasive precedent is precedent that a court need not follow(it is not law, but as the name suggests, may be persuasive because it suggests a line of reasoning and can be made use of as sources of guidance and justification).All prior judicial decisions outside of that court's jurisdiction or from a lower court are considered to be persuasive only.(具有约束力的判例是法院必须遵守的（它是法律）。在特定法院管辖区范围内的所有同级或上级法院先前的司法裁判都是有约束力的判例。

与之相反，不具有约束力的判例指法院不用遵守的判例（它不是法律，但是如它的名字暗示的，或许有说服力，因为它提供了合理性的准线，也能作为公平导向的源头）。所有法院管辖区之外的先前的司法裁判或者低级法院的裁判都只能作为不具有约束力的判例。)

15.Do you think it is reasonable to have a dual court system in America?

(你认为美国的双重法律系统合理吗？)The dual court system is the distinction of state and federal courts that make up the judicial branch of the government.The federal court includes the district courts of the United States, courts of appeals of the United States and the supreme court of the United States.Among them, the judgment of the Supreme Court is binding.The state court includes trial court of inferior jurisdiction, trial court of general jurisdiction and appellate court.The appellate serve to review the decisions of trial courts for errors of law.The reason why it has the dual system is that new states joining the union were assured of limited federal intervention into local affairs.It meets the need for the state to retain significant legislative authority and judicial autonomy separate from federal control.Because the system is too complex, the efficiency of the it may be slightly inefficiency.However, the pursuit of justice is really fair value, not efficiency.（双重法律制度是指州法院和联邦法院组成了政府的法律分支。联邦法院包括联邦最高法院、联邦上诉法院、和联邦地区法院,其中联邦最高法院的判决对全国一切法院皆有约束力。州法院系统包括低级管辖权的初审法院，有普通管辖权的初审法院和上诉法院。上诉法院是为了复审初审法院是否有判决的错误。

拥有此体系的原因在于保证新加入的联邦的州对当地事务拥有有限的介入。它既满足了给予州独立于联邦的审判权，又满足了对其权限的限制。

由于此系统的复杂性，美国司法体系的效率在制度设计上是略显低下的，但司法追求的优先价值确实是公正，而不是效率。)To discuss the differences roles of judge and attorneys in court（by）

（法官和律师在法庭上的区别？）

Although powers of judges and rights of attorneys are different in different legal system, judge and attorneys play very different roles in court.First of all, judges have authority to decide questions of law and fact in civil law system and only question of law in common law system.Attorneys only have right to show their evidence to convince judges of their opinions, but can‘t decide cases at last.Second, the status is different.Judges have educational background, judicatory experiences and power to decide cases finally.So judges are more respectable and get more honor in court.Attorneys are legal practitioner, only can advise judge and jury how to decide cases.So they are inferior to judges in court.（第一，法官有权决定法律问题，但仅仅是在普通法系中，而律师只有权出示证据去说服法却无权决定案例。第二，法官有教育背景，司法经验和最终决定权，所以法官在法庭上得到更多尊重，而律师是法律的参与者，只能建议法官判案，所以在法庭上相对低一等。）

17.To discuss whether it is reasonable to choose common people as jurors？（试论选择普通民众作为陪审员是否合理）

It is reasonable to choose common people as jurors.With the participation of common people, the trial will become more impartial, because it‘s more difficult to bribe the jurors than the judges.We can avoid the professional prejudice of the judges in the trial, which is formed in the long-term adjudication.It also reflects the democratization in the judicial area.In addition, there are good practices in the western counties.（选择普通民众作为陪审员是合理的。普通民众的参与能让审判更合理，原因在于贿赂陪审员要难于贿赂法官。陪审员能避免法官在长期审判中形成的职业偏见，同时也能反应司法领域的民主化。另外，在西方国家，此项制度得到了很好的实践。）

18.Please discuss the meaning of the right of judicial review of the court?（试论述法院司法审查权的意义。）

The ability of the courts to interpret the Constitution was decided early in the history of the United States，in the 1803 case of Marbury v.Madison.It is the power of the court to examine legislation and other acts of congress and to decide their constitutionality.Without judicial review the Constitution would be nothing but a piece of paper.The Constitution states that it is the supreme law of the land.There has to be an authority to decide whether a particular law is constitutional or unconstitutional.If not, then the legislative branch would be free to pass any law without regard to its constitutionality.Judicial authority has always included the power to interpret laws.The Constitution gives the Judicial branch power over all cases arising under the Constitution.The courts must be able to interpret both the Constitution and laws and to determine whether one prohibits the other.checks and balances 权力制衡

protection to human rights 人权保护

（法院对宪法的解释权源于1803年发生在美国的马伯里诉麦迪逊案。司法审查权是对立法以及立法机关的行为进行审查以决定其是否违宪的权力。

没有司法审查权，宪法将是一纸空文。宪法本身强调其为国家的最高法律，那就必须要有一种权力来决定法律是否违宪来维护宪法的权威性。否则，立法机关将在不考虑合宪性的前提下任意通过法律。司法机关一直以来拥有解释法律的权力。宪法授权司法机关对有关宪法案件的审查权。法院必须能够解释宪法和法律以及在二者之间做出选择解决宪法和法律的冲突。）

To discuss the differences between motive and intent(by p60-61)讨论动机与犯罪目的的不同

Motive and intent have completely different legal meanings.Ⅰ Motive is defined as the cause or reason that moves the will and induces action.It represents the stimulus for behavior.Intent relates to the state of mind at the time of the commission of the unlawful act.The motive may be regarded as the reason why a person commit a crime but does not necessarily represent an individual‘s mental design or resolve to actually commit the act.Ⅱ the state is not required to prove the defendant‘s motive for behavior and the failure on the part of the state to establish the why dose not necessarily mean the jury will vote for acquittal.And with the exception of strict liability offenses, failure to establish an unlawful intent must result in acquittal.Ⅲ the motive may help to establish a justifiable reason for the otherwise illegal behavior.For example, if one establishes that the motive for the killing was self-defense or an attempt to prevent the killer from killing another, an acquittal will result.And a good motive does not necessarily absolve the actor of criminal.动机和犯罪目的是完全不同的法律概念。

Ⅰ动机被定义为移动的意志和诱导行动的原因或理由。它代表了刺激的行为。犯罪目的涉及到的心理状态，是当时从事非法行为的原因，一个人犯罪，但并不代表一个人的心理设计或解决实际承诺的行为可能会被视为动机。Ⅱ被告的行为动机状态不须被举证，并且缺乏有效要件也并不一定意味着陪审团认定无罪释放。除严格法律责任罪行以外，如果没有一个非法的目的，必然导致无罪释放。

Ⅲ 动机可能有助于提供定罪的一个正当理由，否则就是违法违规行为。例如，如果一个成立的杀人动机，是出于自卫或试图阻止杀人而杀死另一个，那么他将被无罪释放。而且一个良好的动机并不必然免除刑事处罚。

20.To discuss the difference between information, complaint and indictment.Information: An accusation for some criminal offense, in the nature of an indictment, but which is prepared and signed by the prosecuting attorney instead of a grand jury.Information:对一些刑事犯罪的提出的控告，在性质上是一种公诉书，但它是由检察官准备和签名的，而不是由大陪审团。

Complaint: In the civil lawsuit, it‘s a legal document in which the plaintiff gives the facts and reasons for the suit;

In a criminal action, it‘s a written accusation that a felony, misdemeanor, or ordinance violation has been committed and probable cause exists that the person is guilty of the offense.Complaint:在民事诉讼中，它是一个在诉讼案件中用于原告阐述事实和原因的法律文件。

在刑事诉讼中，它是一个书面指控，包括所犯了的重罪、轻罪或者违反法令以及被认为有罪的充分理由。Indictment: A formal accusation ,―true bill‖, presented by a grand jury which charges a person with a crime.Indictment:一种正式的控告，“真正的法案”，由大陪审团提交的控告有罪的人的。

Difference: Compared with information, complaint is often associated with misdemeanor criminal charges presented by the prosecutor without the grand jury process.2.Both information and complaint are presented by prosecutors, who file a charging document directly with the court, while indictment must be made by grand jury.区别：

1、相比于information，complaint经常与由检察官提起的而不是大陪审团程序提起的轻罪指控相联系。

2、information和complaint都是由直接向法庭提交指控文件的检察官提起的，而indictment必须由大陪审团做出。

21.To discuss the difference between verdict , judgment and sentencing（by）

First of all, verdict is used to solve substantive issues, judgment can solve both substantive and procedural isses.second，in one case, there is only one judgment , but maybe many verdicts, besides, judgment can only be prepared in written, however, as for verdict, written and oral formalities are both ok.if t

he accused is found guilty, the sentencing stage follows.首先，裁判是用来解决实体问题，判决既可以解决实体问题也可以解决程序问题。其次，在一个案例里面，只有一个判决，但是可以有多个裁判。除此之外，判决只在文书中被准备，然而，作为裁判，在文书和口头中均可以。如果被指控的证明是犯罪，将会被判为缓刑，22.to explain the difference between the proof by preponderance of evidence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt

(by)Belief，based on all of the evidence presented, that it is more likely than not，that the individual committed a crime in preponderance of evidence, and variation of this standard is used in some jurisdictions for preliminary hearing bindover and issuance of information.As for proof beyond a reasonable doubt，belief，considering all of the evidence presented，that individual is so clearly guilty as to eliminate any reasonable doubt.And it can be used for conviction for crime.信念，基于所有的被呈现的证据面前，更像是不存在一般，实施了犯罪的个人在证据上有数量上的优势，并且各种这样的标准被用在首次司法管辖权的效力和信息保险中。

作为排除合理怀疑的证据v，信念，被认为是所有的被呈现的证据，那就是这个人是如此的被清晰地证明有罪以至于排除了任何怀疑。并且这可以用来对犯罪的确认/

23、Please discuss the main characteristics of adversary system.（书P101）

请讨论下对抗制的主要特征

23.To discuss the main characteristics of adversary system

1.requires the parties to begin the lawsuit, define the issues, develop proof in support of their positions, present that proof to a court.需要双方进入诉讼阶段，明确问题，寻找证据来支持自己的观点，向法庭呈交证据

2.the parties try to present their evidence in the best possible light and the opponent‘s evidence in the worst possible light.双方要尽力的阐明对自己有力的证据，反驳对方的证据

3.this system assumes that parties will develop and present their cases more efficiently than a public agent with no interest in the outcome.这个制度的假设条件是双方对于自己的案子可以比对案子结果没有兴趣的代理人会处理的更高效

4.lawyers act as advocates for the parties.律师所充当的角色是拥护双方的当事人

5.it also assumes that the financial resources available to each side are relatively equal.它的另一个假设条件是双方的财政资源是相对平等的

6.the judge‘s role is reactive.He play a limited, nonintrusive role in the investigation and litigation.法官的作用是被动的。他在调查、起诉阶段所扮演的是有限的、不具有侵犯性的角色。

Defect:缺点 7.but the parties may tend to mislead the judge 但是当事人可能会误导法官

8.different lawyers have different competence.、不同的律师有不同的能力

Under the adversary system, the case moves forward only in response to the demands of parties.The opposing parties frame the factual issues, seek out possible evidence, choose that evidence they will present, and advance the interpretation of the law that is most favorable to their side.The decision-makers, the judge and the jury, are neutral, passive participants.They have no responsibility to go out and develop a case.Instead, they sit back and largely work with what they are given.In other words, this process requires the parties to begin the lawsuit, define the issues, develop proof in support of their respective positions, and present that proof to a court.So , under the adversary system, the parties try to present their own evidence in the best possible light and the opponent‘s evidence in the worst possible light.Under the adversary system, lawyers ordinarily act as advocates for the parties.Traditionally, the judge‘s role in the adversary system is reactive, he just plays a relatively limited, nonintrusive role in the investigation and presentation of the litigation.24、Please discuss a lawyer’s work before actually filing a complaint（书P108）

请讨论下律师在提起诉讼之前所应该做的准备工作

The ―client,‖ when he first comes to a lawyer, does not have a case;he has a problem.The lawyer‘s first task is to ascertain ―the facts.‖ This task is crucial, and it is not as easy as it sounds, even in uncomplicated situations.Clients are no less-sometimes they are more – prone to misunderstanding, misimpression, and faulty recollection as the next person.Sometimes clients lie, and even when they aim at the truth, they often miss – for all of the reasons encountered in non-legal contexts.当“委托人”第一次接触律师时带来的并不是一个案例而是一个“问题”，律师的首要任务即是确认“事实”——这项任务事关重要，即使在简单的案件中它也并非如听起来般容易。委托人有时可能会误解，留下错误印象或者是回忆错误。委托人还可能撒谎，甚至他们想说出真相时也经常会漏掉一些事实——基于通常能够理解的原因。

Next, you will need to determine if these facts state a claim under the applicable law.In many instances, the existence of a legal violation(if the facts alleged are proved)will be clear.然后你会需要决定这些事实所陈述的赔偿要求是否在适当的法律范围内。在许多案例中，违法的存在（如果提供的事实被证实）会更清楚。

At last, if you are satisfied that the facts your client alleges can be proved, and that they make out a legal violation ,you will now have to determine in what court you will ―bring your action.‖

最后，如果你很满意，你的当事人提出的主张能够被证明，并且这些事实证明违背了法律，那么你现在要决定向哪个法院提出诉讼请求。

25.How to prove the existence of false imprisonment?

The tort of false imprisonment involves cases in which the plaintiff has allegedly been unlawfully confined by the defendant.For false imprisonment to be proven these elements must be present: 1.intent to confine a person within a certain area;2.actual confinement;3.awareness of plaintiff of the confinement or injury to plaintiff due to confinement;4.prevention of exit or no sale exit possible by plaintiff.Of course the elements as in all legal descriptions must be clarified.What, for example, is a legal exit or what constitutes confinement.所谓非法监禁侵权行为，是指在案件中，原告宣称曾被被告以非法手段监禁。要证明非法拘禁的侵权行为确实发生过，原告需证明一些要件：

1.被告有将被拘禁人禁锢在某一确定地点的故意；

2.被告实际实施了拘禁行为；

3.原告知道自己被监禁或因监禁而受到伤害；

4.禁止原告离开拘禁场所或对原告来说无安全出口。

当然这些要素在法律上的描述必须十分清晰，比如说，什么是安全的逃跑可能或者构成监禁要素是什么？ 26.what is the trespass?What is the basis for such tort? How to prove it?

Trespass, the most familiar of the property torts,prohibits the unauthorized entry of a person or thing onto the property of another.(1).Property interests are such that failure to remove something from the land can be considered a trespass;(2).Threspass can even be remaining on another‘s land after a privilege expires;(3).Causing another to enter plaintiff‘s land may also be held a trespass.非法侵入是最为人熟知的侵犯财产权的方式，指禁止人或物未经授权侵犯他人土地。(1).没有从别人的财产上除去妨害也是一种非法侵入。(2).非法侵入还可以发生在当限期届满时仍停留在他人领地上。(3).教唆他人进入原告的土地同样是非法侵入。

What is the basis for such tort? The right to exclusive possession of the land is the basis for this tort.对土地的排他财产权是这种侵权法的基础

How to prove it? A prima facie case of trespass must include an act, coupled with the intent to cause entry by the defendant, and an invasion of the plaintiff‘s land.In other words, the person must have intended to enter another‘s land.Damages are not required to be proven for intentional trespass.Only when the entry onto another‘s land is negligent is there any requirement for showing actual damages.一个被初步证明的非法入侵案件必须包括行为、被告人侵入的故意、以及对原告土地的侵入。换句话说，一个人必须有侵入他人土地的故意。

故意非法侵入无须证明有损害。只有在过失进入他人土地（此时已为过失侵权）的时候才要求出示实际损害的证明。

The intent to cause entry does not mean that the defendant must have knowledge that the land he or she enters belongs to another but only that he or she intends the act that would effect an entry.故意侵入并不意味着被告必须知道他进入的是他人的土地，而只要求他计划了导致侵入的行为。

27)What is a contract? What are the sources of contract law in America? A contract is a promise between two or more persons involving the exchange of some goods or service.Some of the basic elements of a contract include: an offer and an acceptance;‘capacity,‘ or being of legal age and sound competence;‘ mutual assent,‘ or agreement on the terms of a contract;and ‗consideration‘ or compensation for goods or services rendered.The element that distinguishes a contract from an informal agreement is that it is legally binding: the law provides a remedy in the event that the promise is no fulfilled.By law, certain types of contracts must be writing, but oral contracts are valid in many situations.An oral contract may be held to exist even in the absence of agreement as to all its terms.The sources conclude: The Statute of Frauds，The Uniform Commercial Code(UCC),The Restatement of Contracts。

合同是两个或两个以上的人之间的涉及某些商品或服务的交易达成的协议。合同的基本要素包括：要约和承诺；“行为能力“，即达到法定年龄，或具有完全行为能力；“合意”，即对合同的条款达成一致意见；“对价”即对提供货品或服务支付对应的价款或利益。

区分合同与非正式的协议的要点在于：合同是具有法律约束力的，在合同行为中承诺没有得到履行的情况下法律规定了一定的救济措施。根据法律规定，某些类型的合同必须用书面形式，但在许多情况下，口头合同是有效的。即使在没有对所有条款达成协议的情况下，口头合同也是可以存在的。美国合同法的渊源包括：反欺诈法，统一商法典，合同重述。

28)How do you define consideration? Why is it so important to the American contract law? Consideration is a party receives some kind of benefit in return for his promise, it may consist of money, goods, or a promise to do or not to do something.Consideration is one of statutory requirements to make a contract to be enforceable, or to be valid and legally binding.other requirements are: capacity, mutual assent.When the mutual assent of legally capable parties –which includes an offer and an acceptance, accompanied by consideration—to a specific exchange or set of promise occur, a valid contract has been formed.对价是指当事人一方在获得某种利益时，必须给付对方相应的代价。这种代价可能是支付金钱、商品，或者是承诺为或者不为某件事。在美国合同法中，合同是否具有对价要素影响合同的效力，对价是是合同具有法律约束力的法定要件之一，其他要件还包括：行为能力、合意。当具有法律行为能力的当事人双方达成合意:包括要约和承诺，伴随着对特定交易或者承诺形成的对价，一个有效的合同就形成了。

第五篇：英语口语话题和答案

1.Which one do you prefer, on-line education or traditional education? Online education panders to people’s liking for flexibility and fun.First , through online education ,we don’t have to travel long distances to have a class.Instead we could stay at home and devote the traveling time to study.Second, thanks to the internet, there is a sea of courses covering different fields for us to choose from.Finally, online education gives us more flexibility.We can study at our own pace.If meeting with something we don’t understand, we could go over the information and learn again.2.Which one do you prefer? live alone or with roomates? I prefer living with roommates.I think living in a dormitory is a great experience in life.Firstly, by living under the same roof, we can learn to be considerate towards others, share interests and views and develop lifelong friendship.Furthermore, living in a dormitory is far more convenient owing to the proximity to the teaching building and other facilities, which saves us a lot of time.Finally , living in a dormitory is quite safe, especially for the girls.Living in the dormitory will be an unforgettable memory.3.What do you think are the characteristics of a good teacher? I think a teacher should be responsible.Being a good teacher cann’t let his students make mistakes and ignore them.On the one hand, teachers need to be patient to students when students ask questions even too much.On the other hand, teachers should be resourceful so that can give help to students who need and even if they cann’t help students by person.4.Every one has some goals, describe one of your goals。

one of my goals is to travel around the world.Since i was a child, i have been very curious about the outside world, so i want to get to know it by experiencing it myself.And travelling is witnout doubt a good choice.But in fact, I need to study hard so I can enjoy tomorrow.5.Do you agree or disagree: people should always tell the truth? I think it depends.Generally , people should be honest and genuine.Only when we are frank ,can we make real friends and be successful in the end.However, sometimes white lies are necessary.For example, doctors can choose not to tell the patients the truth in order to give them courage and hope to fight with disease.6.how do you usually spend your holidays? What’s your plan for the coming winter holiday? First, I usually finish my tasks first.And I will do anything I like.For example, reading some books I interested, watching some tv programs or movies.But this winter holiday I will change my usual plans.I want to take a travel around my hometown—Xiamen with my friends.7.is writing better than calling ? give your reasons? I think writing is better than calling.Because writing in hand can express our feelings better.Especially sometime we cann’t say something by our mouth personally.Via letters, we can show our love and respect more well.8.which do you prefer : single-sex class or co-educational class? I think single-sex school may be more pure.Professor’s courses may well suit for girls.There will be so many differences between girls and boys’ interests.In co-educational schools, boys are more likely to speak out their ideas, and the courses are designed much suitable for boy.If possible, I hope to read single-sex school, so I more likely to be elegant and powerful women.9.which should be emphasized in education: knowledge or creativity ? Who do you admire most? why? Creativity is very important.Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts.Now schools and parents are eager to encourage this vital skill in children.they want children to do something ,such as class experiments, to build up their sense of creativity.10.who do you admire most? Why? I admire the singers and band the most.Because they have to go on tours around the world, trying to please all their fans even though they've barely got any sleep or hasn't eaten meal yet.It takes a great amount of energy to sing and dance continuously.Some of them worked so hard that they ended up fainting, skipping their concerts, or staying in the hospital.Even so, they still continue to tour around, perform, and going on interviews for the sake of their fans.11.Long-term contact and first impression, which do you think can help you best to know a person? why? I think long-term contact can help me best to know a person.Because we can’t know a person well from the first impression.everyone of us can behave well as long as we intend to.Through long-term contact,we can know everything about the person with which we are getting along.It is very important for us to know the person around us through long-term contact 12.What do you miss most in your home? 13.Describe the most important object to you? As for me, My computer is the most important object to me.I am major in computering technology and science in the university.and I am interested in computer,At present I need computer to study ,I need computer to amuse and in the future I need computer to work with.So I can not live without my computer.14.Novel, maganize or poem, which one do you prefer? 15.Which do you cherish more, your friend or your friendship with a good friend or your romantic relationship? Obviously, a friend is easy to make, but a lover is kind of hard to seek for.Since relationships between friends might be not that close compared to romantic relationships, I will probably take it serious and cherish this sweet relationship.Also, I believe that my friends will support me and our relationship won’t be tense and freezing because of this.As the Chinese saying goes, once you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you may leave your friends out of your mind.I partly agree this, and when I fall in love , especially at the very beginning , I think I will cherish it more than fiendship.16 What factors would you consider first if you were to find a job(even a part-time job)?

I will first consider whether this company and the offered position is high potential.I think high potential is a quality that is vital for the company’s future development and its personnel’s self improvement.Every one need a room to promote and realize one’s self-value.Another factor I concern is –its location.I’d like to work and live in big cities because big cities offer so many opportunities and a higher salary while small cities can’t.whom do you usually turn to when in trouble, your parents or your friends?
