第一篇：期末英语topic考试

Topic: 1.Where will you work after graduation? Small City or Big City?

Many students will graduate from colleges in July.It’s time for them to find jobs.As we known, the first job of graduation is the basic of one’s career.So work in a big city or a small city is a really problem with them.Different life goal, people choose different way.Someone stays in a big city, and someone stays in a small city.With the rapid economic development,many graduates seek their job in big cities.In their opinion, the most important point about their choice is depending on whether the place can improve their ability and give them a larger development space.The big city is full of

opportunities, they can have more options.And they like the quick and busy steps in big city.So they believe that they can own better future by their

struggle, although the pressure is so big.But living in a big city also has some weak points, like the higher living cost, higher pressure, serious environment pollution and so on.So some people choose a small city because they only want the simple and peace life, they want to stay with their loving family and friends.(Even though there may not be too many big companies, but they are happy that they are able to lead a relatively comfortable life and escape from the pressure and pollution that a big city brings about.)

I will work in a small city after graduation.It’s my hometown.Because there are many friends, relatives and my family there and I love them so much.I can often back home to visit my parents and enjoy the homely warmer.And the life in the small city is of silence and peace.(We don't need to show anxiety over the jobs and any other life problems.)However, I want to work in a familiar environment and make contribution to my hometown.许多大学生将在七月毕业，已经到时间开始找工作。正如我们所知道，毕业后第一份工作是一个人职业生涯的基础。所以，在大城市还是在小城市工作是他们真正的问题。

对于不同的人生目标，人们选择不同的道路。在一些人在大城市停留，有人则在小城市。随着经济的快速发展，许多毕业生试图找到一个在大城市工作。他们认为，对于他们的选择最重要的一点是取决于这个地方是否可以增强他们的能力，给他们一个更大的发展空间。大城市里充满了机会，他们可以有更多的选择权。他们喜欢在大城市里快速和繁忙的步骤，所以他们相信，经过他们的努力可以拥有美好的未来，尽管压力非常大。但是，在一个大城市的生活也有一些弱点，如生活费用提高，更高的压力，严重的环境污染等。因此有些人选择小城市，因为他们只想要简单和和平的生活，他们想要与他们爱的家人和朋友在一起。即使可能没有太多的大公司，但他们很开心他们能够过上小康生活，摆脱大城市带来的压力和污染。

毕业后，我将会在小城市工作。那是我的家乡。因为那里有我的许多朋友，亲戚和家人，我很爱他们。我能经常回家探望父母，享受家的温暖。并且，在小城市的生活是安静和平的，我们并不需要为任何工作上和其他生活中的问题焦虑。无论如何，我想在熟悉的环境工作，为我的家乡做出贡献。

高级视听说期末考试口语话题

1.How often do you eat out in restaurants? What are the disadvantages of eating out? Is fast food popular in your country?

I do not often go out to eat.About twice a month or on special occasions.Sometimes, I would like to enjoy delicious food with my friends in restaurants.During the meal, we can talk about our hobbies or views and it can help promote our friendship.Fast food restaurants are especially common in my country.Maybe nowadays more and more people are getting much busier, so fast food is the best choice.However, most of the time, I prefer to eat in the school canteen.Restaurants’ food is always unhealthy, lack of nutrition.Eating out too much can even cause various diseases.2.Talk about the role cell phone plays in your life.Do you think that people rely on cell phones too much? Cell phones have become increasingly popular in China these days, especially among the young.There is no denying that the cell phone has brought great benefits to our life.With the cell phone, we can connect others easily and quickly.We don’t have to wait for an important call at home all day long.With the cell phone, we can surf the Internet whenever and wherever we are.After a day of study or work, we can listen to music or watch movies by the phone to relax ourselves.However, some people rely on cell phones too much.When people spend too much time on the phones, they don't have enough chance to communicate with their friends or parents.In class, students focus on the cell phone instead of listening carefully.Therefore, we need to think more about how to use them appropriately to make convenience and reduce their negative impacts.3.Talk about a holiday you have taken.How are people’s holidays different from 20 years ago? Last summer, I had a fantastic holiday with my parents in Qingdao.Qingdao is a beautiful seaside city.During the days we stayed there, the weather was cool and the air was fresh.Especilly the sky, it was bluer than that of my hometown.I like the Shilaoren bathing beach most, because its scenery is the most charming.We went swimming and enjoyed sunbathing.I picked up many shells on the beach.Compared with the holidays 20 years ago, people have more choices and more abudant activities today.Especially in recent years, tourism has become our preference.4.Do you have a pet or pets? What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising pets? I have a cute dog.It is sometimes very naughty, sometimes very quiet.And it brings a lot of fun to my life.Nowadays, keeping pets nearly becomes a common habit of modern people.So, what are the advantages of keeping pets? A pet can be a good friend.When you are sad you can talk to it to release the unhappiness.With the company of pets, children can cultivate their feeling of love;adults can relieve their tension;and old people will not feel lonely anymore.If you keep a dog, you need to walk the dog quite often.This is a kind of exercise for you

to keep healthy and be relaxed.However, keeping pets also brings some troubles.First, you have to spend much energy to take care of them.Second, some pets have the potential danger of hurting people.Finally, you may be annoyed by their noise when you are working.5.What job do you think is the best for you after you graduate? What is your most important consideration when looking for a job? I think the best job for me after graduation is to be a teacher.As a teacher, I can give what I have learnt to my students, who will make contributions to our society.Thinking about it, I will be very proud of being a teacher.What’s more, I can share some new ideas with the young people, and by this way I will be young forever in my mind..For many people, money or good promotion prospects may be their most important consideration when looking a job.But as for me, what is important is to do something that I enjoy.6.Talk about one of your friends.What are the most important qualities in friends?

Lucy is my best friend.She studies hard and always gets good results.Before, I had great difficulty in learning math.She made every effort to improve my math and she was quite patient to teach me.I have always appreciated her help.As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.A good friend should be willing to help you when you are in trouble, comfort you when you are frustrated.Furthermore, good friends should also be honest people, who can open heart to others and never refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings.7.What role does music play in our life? Do you think that children should learn to play musical instruments? I often listen to music in my leisure time in order to loosen up.I think listening to music is an effective way to calm folks down.Music can comfort me when I am in low spirit;music can cheer me up when I need some excitement;music can give me energy when I am passive or negative;music can make me relaxed from stressful study or work.Since learning music is an elegant form of entertainment for children, they are supposed to learn to play musical instruments if they are interested in it.8.Which types of transport do you think are better for short journeys and which are better for long ones? In what ways do modern transportation methods make our lives easier? For short journeys, I recommend taking the subway or riding a bike.Subway is more faster and comfortable than buses meanwhile it is much cheaper than taxis.If you are going to the suburbs, riding a bike is the best choice.Because you can enjoy the beauty of the nature along the way, and it is also good for health.For long journeys, to save money I would rather take the train.Off course, if you have enough money, why not travel by plane? It takes less time, so you will have more time for sight seeing.There is no doubt that modern transportation methods have brought great significance to our lives.For example, we can conveniently shuttle between different cities.9.Do you think that young people spend too much time studying, watching TV, and playing on computers rather than getting exercise and playing sports，and how do you think about it? How can playing sports help us in other aspects of our lives?

It has become a more and more serious problem.Teenagers nowadays have much more homework than before.And they have much less outdoor activities.Many of them addict to computer games.In my opinion, we must pay attention to this issue and settle it.Playing spors is good for both our body and mind.It can keep our body healthy and young.It can also relax when we feel stressed.Most sports involve teamwork and teach us how to get along with others, how to work together to achieve a common goal, and about trust and responsibility.So no matter how busy you are,never stop playing sports.10.Which one do you prefer, the fast paced life or the slow one? Why? With the rapid development of the economy, our society is becoming more and more fast.In the fierce competitive environment, people are under a lot of pressure everyday.They hurry to work, hurry to think.Fast paced life seems to have become a remarkable symbol of young people.As far as I’m concerned, we need both fast and slow paced life.To improve our living standard, we have to work hard to adapt to the society which is developing with high speed.However, sometimes when we feel tired, we’d better have a vacation to relax and release our pressure.

第三篇：英语演讲TOPIC

英语演讲稿精选范文

篇一：love in high school 爱在高中来说是一个很敏感的话题，高中生已经来到了即将成熟的年龄，他们渴望去爱人，但是这也是一个尴尬的时间。第一，他们需要集中精力学习，以此来考取一个好的大学，第二，他们的父母强烈反对恋爱，老师甚至禁止学生谈恋爱。作为一名学生，他们有自己的权利去爱人，内心的欲望，父母和学校的反对，让他们在情感上做挣扎。在我看来，高中生有很多压力，他们应该暂时把感情放在一边，需要集中精力学习，当高中时光结束以后，他们可以选择去爱。这容易多了，如果你那时想要去爱，就去爱。没有人会阻止你。篇二：to enjoy this moment 曾经，我的外语老师问过我们一个问题“你觉得担忧明天是好事情吗?”我考虑过这个问题很多次了，我的答案是坚定的，但是享受当下时刻更重要。在中国，人们会为将来存钱，这个一个传统，因此他们很少花钱，钱只花在他们需要的东西上面，然后省下剩下的钱来应急。在我看来，人们可以拿出应急那部分钱中的一小部分，以此来让自己过得更舒适，他们可以享受当下的生活。我的父母从来不旅游，他们觉得这是浪费钱的方式，他们觉得钱应该用在更恰当的地方，他们把钱存起来只是为了应急。我们应该学着去创造乐趣，谁会知道明天会发生什么事情呢，享受当下让生活多姿多彩。

篇一

soy food good for women women who ate soy regularly as children have a lower risk of breast cancer, american researchers report.and men who eat fish several times a week have a lower risk of colon cancer, a second team of researchers have told the american association for cancer research.many kinds of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which interfere with the cyclooxygenase-2 or cox-2 enzyme.cox-2 affects inflammation, which may play a role in tumour growth.据美国研究人员报告，儿童时期经常吃豆类食品的女性患乳腺癌的风险较小。另一组研究人员则向美国癌症研究协会提出，一周吃几次鱼的男性患结肠癌的几率较小。

这两项研究进一步证明了饮食对于防癌的作用。癌症防治专家认为，在所有种类的癌症中，多达三分之二都是由吸烟、节食及缺乏锻炼等不健康的生活方式造成的。

美国全国癌症研究所和夏威夷大学的研究人员发现，在5岁至11岁时经常吃豆腐、味噌等豆类食品的女性患乳腺癌的几率要低58%。至于豆类食品为什么可以防癌还不清楚，不过大豆中所含的名叫异黄酮的化合物具有雌性激素的作用。

另一项研究表明，一周吃鱼至少五次的男性患结肠癌的风险要比那些一周都吃不到一次鱼的男性低40%。很多鱼类中所富含的omega-3脂肪酸能够抑制环氧化酶2的活性。环氧化酶2会引起发炎，这可能会刺激肿瘤的生长。

篇二

ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!i?m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”.i hope you will like it, and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth? youth youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry, fear, self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.whether 60 of 16, there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!青春

青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力??? 一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方 20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。

谢谢!篇三

saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite.having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by latergenerations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,dont let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.篇二：精彩英语演讲开场白示例

第五篇：研究生英语期末口语考试话题（范文）

Topics for Oral Test 1.你知道转基因食物吗？你认为这对健康有害吗？What do you know

GM food? Do you think it is harmful to health?

D: Hey ,everybody，a few days ago，I read a paper that China have done several researchs on genetically modified foods and have eaten them.As far as I am concerned，The United States is also favor of genetically modified foods , but Europe is against them firmly.what do you think of it?

L: Well, I think it's a great idea to have genetically modified foods.D: Really？Why?

L: Well, genetically modified plants may need fewer pesticides than normal plants.For example, there is a type of corn that is bad for insects——when the insects eat the corn plant, they die.However, the corn doesn’t hurt people.This type of corn is beneficial because famers use fewer pesticides to grow the corn, and so there is less pollution in the environment.Also the corn is less expensive because the farmers don’t have to spend a lot of money on pesticides.So, by using fewer pesticides the corn is cheaper and the environment is cleaner.H: Yes, and there are two another benefits of genetically modified food.One is that they may grow better than normal plants.The other one is that many genetically modified plants stay fresh longer after they are harvested.What’s more, because of its high yield, it increases the possibility of solving the global hunger issues.But do you think the GM foods are all safe?

Y: Well, there is no answer.No effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved.So far, there is little evidence that GM foods are harmful to health.However，there are some countries holding the opposite views.D: I firmly agree with that.Everything has two sides, Some European countries such as Austria, their consumer groups oppose the sale of importing genetically modified food, they believe that genetically modified foods affect human health.In Europe, the government's attitude is, genetically modified food are insecurity.Some social groups and organizations called for scientists to confirm the safety of genetically modified foods.Y: yeah, what you said are reasonable.In my opinions, I prefer to eat the natural and common food rather than the GM food.The GM food is mixed some additive genes into a new one by the transgenic technology so that the GM food has unknown effects to human beings if they eat it, such as: people will be allergic to the GM food because it have added some parts of gene which can make people allergic.H: Objectively speaking, we can't simply label GM foods with good or bad labels.So , What we should do is to learn to view things with dialectical thought.That is to say, we should use the objective critical and inclusive vision to treat GM foods.With the development of technology, I firmly believe that someday the scientist will tell us whether genetically modified food is angle or a devil.2.有时候，当你从不同的角度观察同一件事物的时候，也许会变得不同。你也这样认为么？Sometimes, the same thing may seem to be different when it is observed from different perspectives? Do you think so? Share your experiences with your partners.What’s your view about this question?

A：Sometimes, the same thing may seem to be different when it is observed from different perspectives.Do you think so?

B：Yes，I totally agree with this statement.Have you ever heard a classical story which reflecting two different attitudes toward the same thing? When looking at a glass with some water in it, people may respond differently.Some may focus on the negative aspect and describe the glass as half empty;others may emphasize the positive aspect of it and regard it as half full.In other words, people may hold completely different ideas about the same thing.C：I also agree with this view.The two different answers to this question represent two different attitudes towards life--optimistic attitude and pessimistic attitude.Chinese old saying indicates, “A blessing in disguise（塞翁失马焉知非福）”,it means :For a time, though it was lost, it would be good for it.D：Yeah，the words remind me of an inspirational story.The great inventor Edison Thomas have studied more than 8000 not suitable materials of filament, people asked him: “you have failed the 8000 times, what is the use for you to continue this research?” Thomas Edison said that I have not failed.On the contrary, I found more than 8000 not suitable material.A：I also appreciate Edison's optimistic attitude towards life.From another perspective, the thing is different.In life, many people are easy to feel frustrated by meeting a bit of setback.As far as I am concerned, we need to change our perspectives and learn to keep positive and optimistic like Edison when facing difficulties so that we can have more power to pursue our dreams.D：Yeah.Edison's story has been encouraging me to be optimistic.Before reading this story, I always be depressed when there were a lot of mistakes in the homework.But, now I will fell very lucky in this case, because these problems can be found in time before exam.C：Oh , great!So, learn to change a point of view, life is full of hope and happiness.As we all known, life doesn’t always run smoothly, but you have got to think positive.And there is no denying that most optimists have a high happiness index，which can hardly be experienced by pessimists.B：Ok.Speaking of which, I have a word to share with you.Turn around, is another starting point, change an angle, you will find a different scenery!(转身，是另一个起点，换一个角度，你会发现不一样的风景！)

3.请针对我们应该如何面对流行病给出几条建议：

Please give some advice about what we should do when faced with an epidemic.A:As[武汉天气不稳定，最近很多人感冒了，是吧？] we all known, the weather in Wuhan is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, so , recently ,many people catch a cold, is it?

B: Yeah, of course.Just like me.I've just recovered from a bad cold, I felt dizzy, and cough day and night。

C:I know that you had a bad time, there is no doubt that the flu is a common epidemic in our daily life.However, there are many other epidemics which is hard to be cured.Can you show me an example?[我知道你渡过了一段难过的时间，毫无疑问流感是我们日常生活中的一种常见流行病。很容易治疗，吃药即可。但是还有很多流行病难以治疗，你们能列举几个例子吗？]

D:One example just appears in my mind, that is SARS.I still remember it broke out in 2002, at that time, I was just in primary school.It was like a strong tornado [tɔ:ˈneɪdəʊ] that swept the whole country and many people were killed by it.A: Yes, I still remember that our life was disturbed and we had to stay at home during those days.We tried our best to fight against the SARS and help each other.Fortunately, we took control of it by the end.B:Ye]ah, another example occurs to me, AIDS.It is a vital [ˈvaɪtl] epidemic, and it caused by a virus(ˈvaɪrəs)called HIV.What’s more, it was first reported in 1980 in the US, the most common manifestation(症状)of AIDS include fever, vomiting ['vɒmɪtɪŋ], headache and so on.The HIV is transmitted by 3 main routes, they are sexual, maternal [məˈtɜ:nl] and blood-borne.C:Yeah,in addition, I know that AIDS will not infect through public facilities, and will not spread through shaking hands and hugging.In a word, numerous epidemics break out, and they have caused the most disastrous impacts on us.D:Yeah,you are right.As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.Now that there are so many epidemics in our daily life, what should we do when faced with an epidemic, can you give us some advice?

A:Oh,I know something about that.For example, people could prevent catching a cold if they dress warmly and have a good rest when the winter comes.But many people get sick so that they have to spend much time and money in seeing a doctor.B: What’s more, I think we need to clean our dormitory every day.What’s more, we should keep our laboratory [ləˈbɔrətəri] clean and tidy and open the windows every morning.C:Yes,I totally agree with you.In order to protect ourselves from the epidemics, it’s important for us to eat more vegetables, fruit instead of junk food and do more exercises.We will deserve for a better life.4.在你看来，精英教育培养出来的是什么样的人？今天的社会需要什么样的人？ In your opinion, what kind of people should an elite education produce? What kind of people are really needed in today’s society?

A: Hi, good morning!B/C/D: Good morning!A: Do you know what day is it 5 days later? B: Your birthday? A: No

C: Your boyfriend’s birthday? A: No D: I know, it is college entrance examination, am I right? A：Yes, you are right!It is college entrance examination, which we all have experienced about 5 years ago.In another words, we have received 5 years of higher education.Should higher education be elite education or mass education?

B: Wait, wait… what is elite education? I have ever heard about these vocabularies, but don’t know the real meaning of it.C: Let me tell you!An elite education is that the enrollment rate of the right age is below the 15%.It means only a few people can have the chance to be educated.In other words, the elite education is a kind of “individualized” education which emphasizes the development of individual talents.D: Mass education is opened to everyone regardless of your qualifications.In other words, mass education tends to be “universal and extensive”, which emphasizes the utility of education to the whole society.B: oh, I see.Elite education is offered for only a few people, so the education we have taken in the past 5 years is the elite education, am I right? A: Yeah, maybe you are right to some degree.It depends on how you understand the goal of elite education.In your opinion, what kind of people should an elite education produce?

D: In my opinion, elite education is not aristocratic education(贵族教育)though it offers to a few students.Elite education should produce the elites and leaders of this society.And these elites could help with the development of this society.C: However, elite education may also produce people overestimate themselves and not able to communicate with people who do not take elite education, although they may be proficient in several foreign languages.B: Yeah, you are right.Do you think these elites cultivated by elite education are the people our society really need?

A: On one hand, as we all know, Roman is not built in one day, so does our society.The development and prosperity of our society cannot be separated from the social elite, as well as the ordinary people.On the other hand, actually, China is a developing country with large population and scarce resources.We do not have enough conditions to provide elite education.D: Yeah, as a result, for the current stage, the purpose of Chinese higher education is mainly produce practical and professional talents.At the same time, general education also has certain requirements, in order to meet the requirements of the “specialized personnel” in the outline.C: Yes, you are right.I hope our country will combine the advantages of elite education and mass education according to our present situation.In that way, we may harvest all kinds of talents our society needs.5.你是否有经常或偶尔的接近自然来远离城市噪音？你希望生活在城市还是在乡村，你更喜欢什么样的生活？为什么？Do you regularly or occasionally get close to nature to escape the city noise?

Y：What a wonderful day!It’s a good time to go out for a walk.How is your grandfather after surgery ,紫薇?

H: Well, he is slowly recovering after moving to the countryside to live.Y: That sounds comforting.How about living in the countryside ?

H: It’s a good choice!The countryside is so peaceful and beautiful!I just come back from countryside with my parents.I spent my childhood in country when I was a baby.That’s a great memory.D: I partly agree with you, because the countryside is not as convenient as the city.For example, the city offers more opportunities and entertainment.L: I prefer country life to city life.Just like what I have seen on TV, there are too many stunning scenes which can not be seen in cities.For example , in Summer nights, thousands of stars are glimmering in the dark , this beautiful scenery attracted me so much.When I have lived in city for a long time, which makes me find some social ills of city life.D: I know what you mean.But I’m hardly agree with that.The city developed more quickly than the country.Flourishing businesses and advanced equipment are changed every day, which is so exciting.H: I agree with 刘高辉.Because the country life gives us opportunity to close to nature.One can see trees, grass and listen to the birds whenever.It’s a good to health.What’s more ,there is less noise , pollution，pressure and crime.It provides us more fresh air and quite.D: Yes, I see.But country life may not be that perfect.People usually lack culture activities.They are relatively ill informed.Things go fairly slowly there.And people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune.L: The disadvantages of country did existed.I plan to live in the country,after i retired.Maybe it is a better choice.H: Oh, it just what I think!And Country people have chance to experience the lifestyle of city when they come to cities.D: what is your ideal life like? My ideal life is that i have a right to choose life.so I need to pay more efforts to learn now.How about you ,杨榕瑕?

Y: In my opinion ,the answer is not certain.Whatever life we lead,we can never feel perfectly satisfied, for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist.People wish that they could enjoy the pleasure of both lives.And you,刘高辉?

L: I get ready to work hard when I’m young.For example, I eager to experience more fresh things to broaden the field of vision and social experience before 40 years old.Y: Sounds good!Good luck!

6.什么是快乐？你认为我们应该怎样获得快乐？What is happiness? In what ways can we achieve happiness? A：Hi, good morning!Did you eat breakfast this morning? B: yeah, I have eaten steamed stuffed buns(包子)and soybean milk（豆浆）['sɔibi:n;milk] in Gui Xiang Yuan, it’s very delicious.C：Me too.I have eaten hot-dry noodles this morning and feel very full and satisfied.I also feel so happy.D: Wow!You may achieve happiness every time to time, since you are so easy to be satisfied.C: Yeah.There is a saying that “contentment brings happiness”, I do believe it.Indeed, it brings me a sense of happiness.(smile^_^)

B: I’m agree with you, happy people feel satisfied with themselves, and they’re happy with what they have.They may be a little overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they are satisfied with what they have.This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from something outside.A: You mean, happy people feel satisfied with themselves, unhappy people are often not satisfied with what they have? Then, I have a question “Do you think ‘阿Q’ , the chapter in Lu Xun’s work--story of Ah Q be a happy person? He is satisfied with what he has, but I think he is poor more than happy.B: 阿Q is a special character in a special background.He lives in his own world and use “spirit victory(精神胜利法)” to get the feeling of satisfied.He doesn’t get the real happiness because he achieves satisfactions from fantasies(幻想), instead of his own effort.D：I see.The real happiness comes from contentment, and real contentment comes from your own effort.In another words, if you have tried your best but still don't get what you want, then you may stop and enjoy what you already have.In this way, you can easily achieve happiness.B: Bingo.This is what I mean.C: I agree with you, too.But I also find that happy people have one in common.That is, they are all optimistic—they look at the positive side of life, not the negative.A：Yeah, when happy people have problems, they assume that things will approve.They don’t worry and think that all bad things can happen, it’s quite normal.So they can take it easy.However, unhappy people are the opposite.When they have a problem, they think about how bad everything is and assume that it’ll get worse.So they make themselves even more unhappy.D: I totally agree with you, and I think another thing can bring us happiness—helping others.It is proved effective every time since I have tried.Of course, I help other people because I can and I want help them, as well as they are really in need, not for the aims of getting happiness.But from this process, I really achieve a kind of amazing and wonderful feeling—it may be called “happiness”.C: You are great.Maybe I should learn from you.Just as the old saying says “Present rose to others with remaining fragrance at hand.” When you are helping others in need, you are helping yourself, so that you can achieve happiness.B: I really hope people with kind-heart and optimistic will achieve happiness forever.7.你相信你是美丽的（英俊）吗？你有没有想过整容？整容手术的优点和缺点是什么？Do you believe you are beautiful(handsome)? Have you ever thought about cosmetic surgery [kɔzˈmetik ˈsə:dʒəri]整容手术? What are pros and cons of cosmetic surgery?

H：梦鸽, what do you think of plastic surgery? like lip implants, breast implants?

D:Yeah , absolutely.I would like now, but four years ago, maybe I don’t agree.H: Interesting!I think the biggest advantage of cosmetic surgery is its ability to turn an ordinary face to a very lovely one.It can make up for your regret of your body, your face or any other part of your body.Y:Well, I agree with that.You may become confident in your daily life, which will make you energetic when you work, so you may make more achievement in your career.Just like the recent phenomenon: more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries.They argued that this kind of surgery can improve one’s opportunity to secure a good job.D:Do you agree with me?

Y:Yeah, especially when women get older, they will have plastic surgery due to effect of media and society.Maybe they would like to have plastic surgery here or there.L: I partly agree with you.But I don’t have to give up any parts if I were a women.Because many factors influence of the standard of beauty.The believe beauty is more important than external beauty when people get older.Y:AHA.Don’t you want to place it in a more appropriate location , Imagining you get older?

L: I just like enjoy the natural.And there are still a huge danger.Many tragic（悲剧）incidents have been reported recent years that one get hurt or blind or even dead when she adopts a cosmetic surgery.A person only has one chance of life.Nothing is important than life in the world.D: But I think many men may like it, people prefer to pursuit good things, after all.L: Maybe ,of course they do.Nowadays cosmetic surgery is also for men.What about you 胡紫薇 ,do you believe you are beautiful? What will you do if you get a chance to do a cosmetic surgery one day?

H: HAHAHA.....,I like my body.Just like the saying goes :beauty is only skin-deep(外在美不过是表面现象).So I will not to do a cosmetic surgery now.And in my opinion, we should consider the advantages and disadvantages of cosmetic surgery.Now we can also find that there are too many famous people who are not memorized by their appearance, but their personality and special habits.8.你认为“事实胜于雄辩”这句话是什么？请用例子来说明它。What do you think of the saying “Actions speak louder than words.”? Please use examples to illustrate it.1、百说不如一做。理想总是丰满的，不能空有理想，要付出实际行动。一种被付诸实践了的行动要比一百种想法都要可靠。举例：、与我们相近的例子是我们总是在幻想自己能干这个干那个，可是真正到了要付诸实践的时候就很轻易被打倒，不作为。

A: Good morning, everyone.B/C/D: Good morning!

A:Last night I have read a saying “Actions speak louder than words”, but I don’t know what does it really mean, does it means nonverbal communication is more important than spoken language or something else? Can you help me? I feel so confused.B: Oh, don’t worry.It is very normal, not be confused.Because one word may have different meanings under different context, let alone a saying.May be your understanding is right to some degree.C: Yes, maybe you are right, isn’t it? But in my opinion, “Actions speak louder than words” means what you do is more important than what you say.And if you say you are going to do something, then you need to do it.[引入第一种观点：实际行动比你说的话要重要的多。“百说不如一做。”]

D: Yeah, I agree very strongly with you!“Actions” means you should do something instead of staying here and do nothing.But in our daily life, too many people, even include me, “words speak louder than actions”.Moreover, plans of action were not always properly implemented.[提出现实却是相反的，很多人都是“说的比做得多”。计划也总是不能完全被实施。]

B：Me too!I had planned to read 3 papers this week and complete a course paper.However, I didn’t do as I had planned, and now I feel a lot of pressure(>_<).Moreover, most people I know who waited to travel the world never did.（无奈）[举例论证观点一]

A: I've had many similar experiences like you, but I think we should do more than only speak.In other words, talks little but does more.[观点一总结：少说话，多做事！]Is there any other understanding of this saying?

C：Of course!Another meaning of this saying is that no matter how you are skilled in debate, you can hardly defeat the fact.In this situation, actions refer to the civisms or other debates against you.[观点二：事实胜于雄辩！]In fact, words are the shallowest portion of all the argument.[事实上，在一切雄辩中，语言往往是最浅薄的部分。] Have you ever heard the story of Yu Gong who removed the mountains?

D: Yes, I know.It describes an old man with very strong perseverance, who finally moved away the mountain in front of the door through he and his family’s continuous efforts.It tells us that unless you give up, you will be succeed sooner or later.[愚公移山的例子] B: You are right.But on the other hand, it also verifies that “facts speak louder than words.” Even though many people have disapproved with him, even questioned him.But he, Foolish Old Man, doesn’t defeat by his opponents, who are skilled in debate.Facts proved that he is right and he is not the foolish man.He is the man who has great wisdom.A: I see.Thank you very much.I don’t feel confused now.And I think I have learnt the real meaning of this saying “actions speak louder than words”.Thank you!(The End[提问者对几个帮助他的回答者表示感谢！])

10.什么是“善意的谎言”？你有没有说过善意的谎言？你认为讲一个善意的谎言是合乎道德的吗？是，为什么；不是，又为什么？

What is “a white lie”善意的谎言? Have you ever told a white lie? Do you think telling a white lie is ethical? Why or why not?

A：Do you know what is “a white lie”?

B：Yes.On certain occasions, out of necessity, we simply cannot tell the truth but have to lie with good rather than bad intentions.This kind of lie is called a white lie.Here, I can give you an example.I told my friend Sally a white lie when she asked me how I liked her new party dress.I didn't like the color or the design but when I saw how happy she was with it, I told her it looked great.To “lie with good intentions” is very common and almost all of us have done it.Have you ever told a white lie?

A：Yes.In some cases the truth is going to hurt or trouble someone but white lies can give others comfort and encouragement.For example, I told my parents a white lie when I was sick, Even though I was still not feeling well, I smiled and told them I was much better.Just because I didn’t want them to be worried.D：Oh, how sensible you are!Lies have been recognized as a synonym for cheating and hypocrisy and lies are often held in contempt.However, sometimes we need lies in real life, because a white lie can give one comfort and encouragement.If a seriously ill patient can refresh himself to fight against the illness after hearing your white lie, don’t you think your lie is meaningful?

C：It seems that in some cases white lies are very meaningful.But from the perspective of ethics, I still don't support it.Do you think telling a white lie is ethical?

B：Yes, of course.In fact, its existence does not harm the interests of the victims and its motive is kind.To be honest is to make our society more harmonious, to a better development of the society.In this way, white lies accord with the purpose Of honesty.What do you think of it?

C：Oh, I see.But I can’t agree with you.I insist that white lies are lies after all.It’s dishonest to tell even white lies.In my opinion, everyone has the right to know the truth, you have no right to make choices instead of others.Indeed, in some cases, white lies can give you a cure, but who can guarantee that when you know the truth, you will not regret not knowing it earlier.So how about you?

D：Graham(本杰明·格雷厄姆)said that” in human relationships, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths”.I think he means that in most time telling a white lie is better than tell the truth.So I don’t agree with your presentation.A: Well.Sometimes we need white lies to keep peace.And sometimes we also tell white lies to protect someone.If a girl tries her best to lose weight, but she is still very fat, it’s better for you to say you are very lovely or you really get thinner rather than tell her the truth, “you have put on weight again.” So I hold on to my position.
