What subject do you do best?

I am an average student.

How are you getting along with your college life?

Who is teaching you English this term?

About a University

The university was founded in 1956.

Most of the students and some faculty members live on campus.

How many foreign students do you have?--- the total enrollment of the foreign students is about 30.

Is your university on the foreign students exchange program? Yes.

We’d like to know your opinions about your teaching and research capacities.

We welcome suggestions and criticisms.

The campus is very beautiful and all the teachers are kind and helpful, and the students work hard. Thank you very much for your time.

Each university has its own strong points.

In fact, we can basically divide all the universities in China into 2 groups. Some of them are good on the whole. Others may not be famous, but they are really strong in some departments or research fields.

At the library

How many books can I borrow altogether?

Could you recommend me an American novel?

We read newspapers and magazines in the reading room everyday.

In the library, there are usually three sections: references, fiction(文学类书籍) and nonfiction. The open stacks system is applied in the library.

Borrowing is limited to five books and we have to renew them in two months.

About tests

I have been sitting here for more than 2 hours working on the different and difficult English words and found no interest in it. It’s all that I have to take part in the CET-4.

Could you give me some tips on how to prepare for the exams?

大学口语

But I have been having a lot of difficulty doing listening part of CET-4.

Taking tests needs some special techniques.

It is easier said than done.

I can understand how you feel about it. I had CET-4 last semester and wanted to drop it after the first several weeks, but I decided to stick to it and I am glad I did. By the time it was over, I had really learned a lot.

If you are really concerned about the social development, you may find that what we can learn in class is not enough for us in the future. So we need to learn something outside the class. If you don’t take the exam, how can you learn if you have already acquired the knowledge?

I never wait until the last minute before the exams. We must work hard in the course of our study. He is punishing himself for not allowing more time to intake basic materials; He is having emotional anxiety and physical fatigue which will block his performance.

All course materials should be reviewed at least once a week after being studied, again at midway, and then again in the final review before the exams.

Discussing English learning

I often speak English with my friends.

To tell you the truth, I seldom speak English.

I make mistakes whenever I open my mouth to speak English.

No mistakes, no progress.

I think the best way to improve our oral English is to speak as much as possible.

About Teaching

The multimedia system helps foreign language learners to learn faster and better.

I think in this way the benefit for the English learner does not stop at the improvement of their spoken English.

I am looking forward to the popularization of the multimedia system.

Can you use them freely?

I can cope with the written exam, but as for the oral English….

We only have one oral classe every week; while after the class, the chance for me to speak to native speakers is so slim.

About one’s future career

I’d like to be a/an biologist/physician/college professor/teacher/programmer/accountant. etc. I can travel to a lot of places of interest if I work as a sales manager.

Education/science and technology/social stability /international trade is essential to the

development of our country, so I want to have a career in…

What matters most to me is a friendly atmosphere/comfortable working environment /handsome pay/good prospects of promotion/challenging tasks.

Where there’s a will, there is a way.

Talent and a bit of luck are all you need to realize your dreams.

I never doubt that my dream will come true some day.

I think it is wise to be realistic/not to aim at smething that is beyond you.

What do you want to do after graduation?

Do you think I should get my mater’s degree?

The more education you have, the better chance you can get.

I want to pursue my graduate study.

大学口语

You know great achievements have been made in my field but I don’t think what I’ve learned so far is enough for me for the future work.

If you don’t make plans ahead of others, you will lag behind

Life and sports

Now I find that getting a good work-out a couple of times a week actually makes me feel more energetic.

I like swimming, but I prefer to play table tennis.

I have benign working out every day for a month now.

I am fine with every sport as long as it can give me physical training. What about you.

Entertainments

How do you spend your spare time?

What do you usually do on weekends?

I always find nothing to do in my spare time.

I have many things to do to enjoy myself after school.

I can sit still all day, listening to some popular or classical music.

Listening to music can help you to relax after a whole day for a whole week’s study.

I like going to surf the Internet on weekends. It’s not important what I chat. I can do that with many kinds of people, learning about the society from what they say and the way they say it. Shopping

I usually do my shopping in large supermarkets/campus stores/shops nearby, since they often have good buys/it saves time.

Supermarkets are so convenient. You can get almost everything you want in a big supermarket. I like books/music, so sometimes I go to a campus bookstore to hunt for my favorite CDs/recent bestsellers.

I seldom go shopping. It takes too much time.

Part-time jobs

The important thing, I think, is to get some working experience. The pay is the secondary. In a part-time job you can learn things that you can’t normally learn no campus/from books I need to support myself, so I am really concerned with how much I can earn.

I would like to find a part-time job as an office worker/secretary/receptionist /tour guide/waitress/ tutor/computer operator. Ⅲ、英语口语比赛部分参考试题
