　　Describe a school you’ve ever attended.

　　Well, I want to talk about the University where I am studying now.The campus is small but it’s very beautiful. There are many old trees and many flowers which give off pleasant scents. The buildings were elaborately designed and many of them have a history of more than 100 years.It’s a normal University and quite a lot of us will become teachers. So the students are very helpful and respectable. Our teachers are very competent and amiable, they are ready to offer help at any time. What’s more, our school is very famous for its recreational and cultural activities which make us relaxed and help us get to know different cultures.

　　Describe your favorite room either of your own house or in other places and explain why.

　　Well, I’m gonna talk about my study room.Firstly, there are all kinds of books in this room and the atmosphere makes me feel like to study. There are a few tablets on the wall with famous sayings which have inspired and stimulated me a lot. The interesting books make me preoccupied with them and I have learned a lot of knowledge from them.Secondly, it’s very quiet and helps me relax. When I am tired after a long time of study, I usually open all the windows and listen to the birds singing and smell the pleasant scent of the flowers. Looking far into the sky, watching the clouds moving slowly, all these just seem to be fascinating.

　　Describe a place you have never been to but like to go someday.

　　I would go to New Zealand for a trip if I had a chance. It's a lovely country, made up two islands. It is very lush(青葱的) and green because it rains a lot there. I would do a lot of different things and one thing I would definitely do is to swim with the dolphins. One of my friends ever did it, which she said was very interesting. At first, she was only brave enough to pat them and then she got braver and held on to one's fin while it took her for a swim. They moved very quickly and gracefully through the water and it was fascinating(棒极了). So the place for a trip would be New Zealand! I’d like to go to Japan if I have a chance.Visiting the Fuji mountain is one of my dreams, you know the peak covered with snow stands there erectly stretching up to the sky ,it is just fascinating. The beautiful scenery of the countryside and the modern amenities in the cities are both attractive to me.What’s more, I am very interested in Japanese history and culture. If I could go there I could deepen my understanding of them.In addition, Japanese girls are very soft and tender which sounds fascinating to me. I am really eager to make friends with them and maybe I could find a charming girl friend.

　　Describe an enjoyable event in your childhood.

　　Well, I wanna talk about my first boating in a lake.Actually it was a big fish pond and the contractor didn’t allow boating in his lake.But a fellow of mine and I disanchored his boat and pulled the boat to the middle of the lake. We were very excited thatwe splashed water to each other. And suddenly, a big fish jumped out of the water and we became more excited and we began to strike the water surface with the paddles. To our surprise more and more fishes jumped out of the water and some of them jumped into the boat. We were so excited that we exclaimed cheerfully. Later we were reprimanded by the contractor severely but we really had a good time.

　　If you unexpectedly received a large amount of money, what would you do with it? Would you spend it for practical purposes or simply for fun? (06. 11.18 考题)

　　Well, first of all, I would like to establish an education fund for the children in Sichuan Province whose houses were damaged in the earthquake to make sure they could receive a good education. Some of them have lost their parents, it will be very hard for them in the rest of their lives. You know a good education is the most important thing for a person in the long run. If they were well-educated they might lead a happy life in the future.And of course I would set up a company in my hometown to improve the local economy. I have a deep love for my hometown but it mainly depends on agricultural economy so I want to improve the industrial level and thus raise(elevate) the residents’ living standard.

　　Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? Include details and examples to support your opinion.(05. 12.2 考题)

　　Yeah, I think music and art should be included in high school curricula as other basic science.First, music and art can provide entertainment and pleasure for people. If a person has learned how to understand and enjoy music and art, he would enjoy his life better.Second, music and art present us with insight into the internal and universal nature of humanity. In this sense, they are as important as other basic science. For example, an impressionist painting or a Beethoven symphony or the ballet Swan Lake,they are all a revelation of human spirits or weaknesses.What’s more, the process of exploring music and art can develop students’ creativity and their ability of expressing their own thoughts in unique ways. I think the inspirations from music and art can improve people’s creativity.

　　Do you think sports courses should be a required part of every school day? (06. 9.23 考题)

　　Definitely they should. I have got a couple of reasons here.First, in sports classes, students will do a lot of exercises which benefit their health a lot.Second, sports courses can foster interests in sports among students. This is very important you know if they love a kind of sports they would play it regularly all through their life. Thus, the benefits of doing exercises will last for a life time.What’s more, in sports classes, students will participate in team-played sports games such as basketball and football. In these games, they will learn to cooperate with each other. You know, in this society, teamwork and cooperation are of vital importance. Also, these games will enhance their friendship.Some students like classes where teachers lecture in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer?Well, I prefer the latter one.I find it’s quite boring in classes where the teachers lecture and students just listen. In this type of class, I often fall asleep in the tedious lecture. I believe many students have the same experience. The problem is that teachers and students can’t interact, as a result students can’t follow the teacher’s points and the reasoning process.However, if we could do some of the talking, teachers and students could have an efficient communication in the interaction, I mean , an exchange of thoughts.What’s more, when a student puts forward a viewpoint in his talk, others might be inspired and think over it further. The atmosphere of the class would be very active and the students would think more and learn more.

　　Do you agree or disagree that college students should do an internship before graduation? (07. 5.18 考题)

　　In my opinion, I would definitely agree with this point.The first reason is that an internship experience is very important for a college student to find a job. You know, we have learned a lot of theoretical knowledge but it is not enough for us to do well in our practical jobs. We need to do some practical jobs and get some experience which can help us understand the knowledge better. Only by combining theory and practice can we have good performance in our future work.The second reason is that by doing an internship students could get to know more about the career he might take up after he graduates. For example, a student majored in electronics may find it too tedious to do circuit designs in his internship and he could consider doing something else such as computer programming.

　　Do you agree or disagree that students will learn more when they have discussions? (07. 6.24 考题)

　　I definitely agree with this viewpoint.First of all, in a discussion many different views would be put forward and each participator could be inspired by each other’s viewpoints. And in the process, wrong points are thrown away and correct and rational points are kept. So each participator could form a more comprehensive view of the problem and have a better understanding of it.What’s more, regular discussions among students could foster a sense of teamwork and enhance their friendship be effective communications.

　　Some people believe that students who want to go to university after graduation from high school should have about one year's time to get a job to obtain work experience or have a travel to enlarge their vision. Do you agree or disagree? What’s your opinion? (07. 8.11 考题)

　　I disagree with this viewpoint.First, I think it’s not worthy to spend a year to do those things. Work experience is not necessary for a person to attend university, because you are supposed to study mainly theoretical knowledge in university. The foundation you have laid in your high school is enough for you to begin your college study. In fact, you can take an internship after two or three years study to obtain experience.Second, university is the best place to enlarge a person’s vision so a travel before going to university is unnecessary.Third, consider the potential uses of such a long time, you could do many more useful things. You could attend many campus activities, you could volunteer in some organizations, and the most important is that you could finish the first year’s courses, all of which would enlarge your vision and rich your experience.

　　Some people choose a major that may guarantee them a good job. Other people choose a major out of their personal interest in that area. Which do you think is a good idea and why? (06. 8.26; 07. 3.3 考题)

　　Well, I would prefer the latter one.You know, interest is very important for a person’s study. A strong interest could make a person immersed in his study and learn a lot of things. If he could do an excellent job in his major he could also be very successful in his career. As the saying goes “There are topmost masters in every profession”.If a person chose a major he shows no interest in, he might find it boring and he would lack the enthusiasm to study it hard.No interest and no enthusiasm is not a good thing for a student. He might learn little knowledge in this field, which would not guarantee him a good job.

　　Where do you learn more from, media like newspapers, TV , Internet or people like friends, family and teachers?

　　Well, as far as I am concerned, I learn more from Internet.First, there is a lot of information in all kinds of subjects in the Internet. There are articles, e-books and multimedia clips.You can surely find something of your interest and read them or download them and read later. The initiative of learning is in your hand.What’s more, the Internet is dynamic and interactive, this means the Internet information is always changing and you can exchange your ideas with other Internet users. Thus you can get instant information and learn more from each other.

　　Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why.

　　Well, in my view, it’s necessary for governments to provide funds to build museums and theatres.First of all, museums and theatres play an important role in promoting citizens’ sense of art and culture. A good citizenship is very important for the development of a country in the long run.Secondly, museums and theatres can offer people entertainment. Museum exhibits and wonderful performances in theatres are excellent stuff to relax and entertain people.In addition, governments could make a lot of profits from these buildings. Since many people go to museums and theatres they will spend much money in these places and this could contribute to the local economic prosperity.
