PART1
在第一部分，考官会介绍自己并确认考生身份，然后打开录音机/笔，报出考试名称、时间、地点等考 试信息。考官接下来会围绕考生的学习、工作、住宿或其他相关话题展开提问。
话题举例
Keeping in contact with people
1.How do you usually contact your friends?(Why?)
答题技巧：此题考官考查日常生活中与朋友联系的方式，并且解释一下原因。考生可以思考一下现实生 活中我们都用什么手段或者工具和朋友保持联系，比如：上网同步聊天(synchronous chat),在论坛 (discussions forums)上交流，写信(letters), 打 电 话(phone calls),发 短 信(short messages)等 等 。
Well,I usually chat with my friends by MSN Messenger or by Email because I'm a mouse potato.I spend a great deal of time on the computer every day.If there's a serious topic to talk about,I will choose face-to-face communication because eye contact and body language can avoid misunderstanding.
mouse potato电脑迷(仿couch potato构词) eye contact 眼神交流
body language 肢体语言 misunderstanding误解
2.Do you prefer to contact different people in different ways?(Why?)
答题技巧：针对不同的人，我们用什么不同的方式去联系呢。有些人距离较远不方便见面，可能会选择 写信或者打电话。有些人是挚友，可能经常一起出去玩。
Yes,I do.For those acquaintances,I don't see them face-to-face very often,just greet them on some festivals by telephone.I like to meet my close friends every weekend because I know they are my real friends and will last forever.
acquaintance认识的人 greet问 候
last forever 永远持续
3.Do you find it easy to keep in contact with friends and family?(Why/Why not?)
答题技巧：与家人朋友联系是否容易。在信息社会，相信人与人之间的联系会非常容易。反过来想一 下，有什么困难可以跟考官说说?
Yes.It's easy for people to keep in touch with each other by many ways:letters,digital cameras, cell phones, blogs,and so on and so forth.Email is the most convenient way to contact people if you have their email addresses.But the only pain for me is that sometimes I have to email too many people back,whatever hypocritically or sincerely.
cell phone手机 blog博客
so on and so forth 等等 pain 痛苦
hypocritically虚伪地 sincerely真诚地
4.In your country,did people in the past keep in contact in the same ways as they do today?(Why/Why not?)
答题技巧：人们在过去互相联系的方式和现在有什么不同?这是个典型的对比问题，需要考生回答问 题的时候比较出过去和现在人们联系方式上的不同，回答此题时要注意时态的运用。
People in the past contacted each other mainly by handwriting letters.Today,emails are used more because they don't have to go wait a day and have a stamp.But getting a hand written letter seems to spark a more personal feeling. I think it is a lost art in this modern world of text messaging and emails
handwriting letters手写的书信 spark闪烁，闪耀
lost art 失传的艺术
stamp 邮票
personal feeling个人感觉 text messaging手机短信
PART 2
考官给考生一张话题卡(Cue Card)。考生有1分钟准备时间，并可以做笔记(考官会给考生笔和纸)。之后 考生要做1~2分钟的陈述。考生讲完后，考官会就考生的阐述内容提一两个相关问题，由考生做简要回答。
|
Describe a party that you enjoyed. You should say: whose party it was and what it was celebrating where the party was held and who went to it what people did during the party and explain what you enjoyed about this party. |
话题卡说明
话题卡“Describe a party”是事件题中较为重要的一个，考官主要考查考生是否能描述各种事件经历的 能力。类似的话题卡还有“Describe a happy event”,“Describe a local event”等。考生在描述这个话题卡时要 注意的是突出强调enjoyable的感觉。

|
地点 人员 |
The whole clan was there.That is,my entire extended family including my uncles,aunts,cousins, and grandparents.We go to my grandmother's house because she's old and finds it difficult to travel very far,so it's easier if we come to her.I also saw my Uncle Bernard who's living in Germany.He can tell some side-splitting jokes. |
|
活动 |
We had a huge meal with my grandmother which everyone helped to cook.We sat around our dinner table eating delicious food and catching up on all our news.Every family member gave my grandmother a gift and a best wish. |
|
为何 喜欢 |
I love these big get-togethers because it's the only time I get to see some of my relatives.We live all over the country so without family events like this one we might not see each other at all.I like the way everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves and not thinking about the pressures of their normal lives back home.It was rather a family party than a birthday party for us.It's great for everyone to地 catch up and come together as a family.We also played games together and generally had fun.By the end I was so tired I was falling a sleep on my feet but it was good fun. |

PART3
第三部分：双向讨论(4~5分钟)考官与考生围绕由第二部分引申出来的一些比较抽象的话题进行讨论。 第三部分的话题是对第二部分提示卡内容的深化和拓展。
话题举例
Family parties
1.What are the main reasons why people organise family parties in your country?
答题技巧：人们组织家庭聚会的主要原因是什么。回答这个问题的时候，思路是最重要的。不妨先想一 下，家庭聚会能给我们带来什么,增进感情(enhance the emotion),缓解压力(relieve the stress),等等。
It's great being able to see everyone again and enjoy one another's company. It's also a great way to share the love everyone has for the family and bring us closer together.People say ' You can choose your friends,but you can't choose your family ',which means that even if your family members are annoying you can't change the situation.Sometimes there can be arguments and the atmosphere can turn sour.It's also difficult to get away and do your own thing if there's so much pressure to be together as a family during these occasions.
company 朋友；伙伴 turn sour变味
2.In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events.Is this ever true in your country?Do you think this is a good trend or a bad trend?
答题技巧：考官在问考生：花大笔钱在某一些特殊家庭聚会上这种情况在我们国家是否有，我们是否认 为这是一个好的趋势。遇到这种观点论证的问题，回答的时候要记住：观点无所谓对错。考生可以赞同 也可以反对，任选其中一种观点加以论证就可以了。
It does happen somewhere in China.I think the main reason people tend to push the boat out for special family events like weddings is that it's a unique event that will only happen once in their lives.They want to make it special and something to remember.Another factor is the desire to impress all your friends and relatives who will come to the family events.Not only do you want them to have fun and enjoy the occasion but you also want to show off a bit.I don't think it's a good trend to splash out ridiculous amounts of money on special family events.
push the boat out举行狂欢的聚会 ridiculous荒唐的
show off炫耀 splash out 肆意挥霍
3.Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by friends?Why do you think this is?
答题技巧：这个问题是典型的左右论证问题，让考生谈论左右两方面的区别。回答这类问题的时候，要 注意左右两方面都要谈，才能做到全面。考生可以从两种聚会的内容、形式、气氛等不同之处展开讨论。
Gathering with friends is more relaxed,there's usually a disco or bowling,more interesting.Family parties are a bit boring because there are usually food and talking.Also,friend's party can reinforce the bonds of a social group. In some contexts,it can strengthen business related bonds,strengthen a sense of team and make contacts to further one's career.
reinforce加强
businessbond 生意圈
social group社会团体 sense of team 团队感
National celebrations
1.What kinds of national celebration do you have in your country?
答题技巧：National celebration在这里理解为“普天同庆”或“全国性庆祝活动”。这个问题不难回答，采用 举例子的方法列举出一些举国同庆的法定假日就可以了。
There are many kinds of national days in China.New Year's Day.It is a grand occasion for the Chinese people.They celebrate the New Year like people all over the world.Spring Festival,which is held on the first day of the first lunar month and lasting for two weeks,is regarded by the Chinese people as the grandest and most important annual festival.Oct,1st is China's National Day.It is a festival of great importance to the
people nationwide and they celebrate it with great felicitation.
grand重要的，重大的 lunar month阴历月 nationwide全国性的 felicitation庆祝
2.Who tends toenjoy national celebrations more:young peopleor old people?Why?
答题技巧：年轻人和老年人哪类人更喜欢“举国同庆”。回答这个问题时，任选一方自己擅长描述的作为 观点，并用足够的理由来支持。比如：老年人更喜欢法定假日，因为他们希望传统文化得到保留。或年 轻人更喜欢法定假日，由于现代化生活节奏的加快，假日给年轻人减压放松的机会。
I will say:Seniors.Kids today are not taught what our national celebrations mean.I mean it truly means.It's one thing to say we got our National day on Oct 1st,or what Labor day means,but the youth of today are not taught or experienced enough to enjoy them other than as a day off or a day to BBQ.Seniors,on the other hand,have in many cases served in the army, or have good friends who have,or lived through a war.Seniors understand and appreciate our national celebrations more,so they maybe not “enjoy”like partying,but revere them more.
Labor day国庆节 a day off 放假一天
Seniors老年人 served in the army在军中服役，当兵
revere 崇敬，尊敬
- Why do you think some people think that national celebrations are a waste of government money?Would you agree or disagree with this view?Why?
答题技巧：很多人认为全国性庆祝活动是浪费政府的钱。我们的观点是什么?如果同意，理由可以是： 用钱来搞形象工程(vanity project)是很铺张浪费的(extravagant), 可以改善纳税人的生活水平(living standard) 。如果不同意，理由可以是：有利于社会的团结(national unity),有利于提高国家的凝聚力 (social cohesion)等。
I totally agree with that.I'm fed up with those never-ending national celebrations.Spending too much money on vanity projects is extravagant,and it's “a sheer waste of the taxpayers' money".The government should use this money to quickly resettle the disaster stricken victims.I believe:what is taken from the people is used in the interests of the people fed
up厌倦，厌烦
vanity projects形象、面子工程 sheer绝的，十足的
resettle重新定居，安居
never-ending无休止的 extravagant铺张浪费的
disaster stricken victims灾民
what is taken from the people is used in the interests of the people 取之于民，用之于民
