第一篇:口语期末
Suppose one Saturday, you open the web page of souhu to watch the big bang theory as usual, but suprisely, you only find a sentence stating—we are sorry to tell you because of some reasons concerning policies, we cannot provide services for you to watch this TV program.Don’t feel disappointed too early, that is just the start of censorship of internet videos.According to The State Administration of Radio and Television, in the future, all the American and British TV programs need to be censored and get the certification before being broadcast.Chinese censorship of films has been a controversial issue for a long time, and now, instead of improving this merchandise, The State Administration of Radio and Television decides to expand it into the field of Internet videos.From my perspective, we, as the audience of Internet videos, do not need censorship of Internet videos.There are three major reasons.To begin with, we don’t need such a costly merchandise.The amount of film produced is 500 to 700, while the amount of Internet videos including both films and TV programs produced should be larger than 1500 every year!It is an enormous process to go through all these videos, which is actually a waste of time and money.From the perspective of Internet video web sites, besides importing American and British videos, they also need to prepare related files and waiting for officials going through the content and making decisions.The time of procedures varies, which can be as long as years or as short as five days.But we all know enthusiasm of audience can decline a lot after a period of the first issue of the foreign films and TV programs.So web sites may face a risk of not producing as much profit as they expect at the point of buying the copy rights, resulting in a loss.That is not good for importation of foreign films and TV programs.What’s more, We do not need a hand to close the window of culture facing the outside world.On the one hand, we know more about foreign cultures by watching foreign films and TV programs on the Internet.34 films imported every year, which are mostly Hollywood films having little connection of foreign daily life are not enough to satisfy our curiosity.From house of cards, we know how American political system works;from the big bang theory we understand American humor;from
downtown abbey, we learn something about British aristocracy… on the other hand, we know more about ourselves in the eye of others.As china is playing a vital role in the trend of globalization, many films and TV programs would like to add some Chinese factors to attract Chinese audience.Although sometimes there may be some subjective comments about our ruling party and ideology, the officials cannot just hope to ban these films and TV programs by censorship.Chinese proverbs always remind people of accepting others comments modestly, and if that is right we need to correct our weakness;if that is wrong we should be cautious to avoid.Therefore, censorship and prohibition is not an efficient measure to eliminate criticism.Just as the picture shows, the director of the big bang theory responded to Chinese prohibition with stereotype of Chinese government and crazy irony.At last, We do not need officials to regulate different cultural opinions.The amount of audience of films for 2013 is more than 600 million, which is larger than the sum of 6 Internet video web sites.And most of the audience of Internet videos is college students.As a member of this small and well-educated group of people, I think we have enough knowledge to make judgment about what is beauty what is ugly and what is right what is wrong.In addition, college students are at the stage of forming their comprehensive philosophy of the world and human life, thus they should be facing diverse resources of information and should not be limited to a narrow range of values.Advice from artistic masters or professions is welcomed, but government officials who pay much attention on political stability rather than art are not needed to choose the suitable films and TV programs for us.In consequence, china should cancel the censorship of Internet videos, because
1.We do not need such a costly merchandise
2.We do not need a hand to close the window of culture facing the outside world
3.We do not need officials to regulate different cultural opinions
I believe Chinese film and TV program industry will be more prospective without censorship of Internet videos.

第四篇:口语交际期末总结
口语交际期末总结
这一学期选修了哈老师的口语交际课,虽然期间由于别的事情耽误了几节课,但总体来说收获很大,感觉很好。
哈老师上课很随意,她不像大多数老师那样照本宣科,而是用事例来说明内容。这样往往就会让我们在这些真实的故事中体会到口语交际的魅丽。哈老师也很注重与同学一起的互动。开学第一堂课,便是由介绍他人开始,同学们在做了短暂的相互了解之后便在哈老师的鼓励下走上讲台,介绍自己周围的同学。有的同学将另一位同学介绍的像自己的老友一般,实际上他们才刚刚认识。虽然那次我没有勇气走上讲台,但我已经深深地被哈老师独特的授课方式所折服。
除了讲授简单的交流方面的知识之外,哈老师还为我们介绍了许多面试上的技巧。而每一个面试技巧,都是哈老是由学哥学姐的面试经历所引出。真的很敬佩哈老师授课时的这份认真,也很感动于哈老师整理这些资料时的辛苦。这些真真切切的面试经历也给了我很大的启发和帮助,让我受益匪浅。
这一学期的口语交际课,让我学到了很多,也思考了很多。我深刻体会到“话有三说,巧说为妙”的妙处。也努力让自己变成一个积极交往,活泼开朗的人。正如哈老师所说“口语是练出来的”。相信我也有一天会站在讲台上侃侃而谈,睥睨众生。
