10、. E What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? A In my spare time, I enjoy shopping with my good friends. We dont buy expensive things or useless things just because they are cheap. We go into the shops and plazas one by one, in which there are so many beautiful goods. We get so much joy from shopp
11、ing, which I think is the reason why most girls and women are fascinated with shopping. While shopping, I can chat with my good friends.

A I think English especially spoken English is the most difficult aspect of my study. I began my career in English learning in middle school. The grammar and words are not ve
13、ry difficult, but how to improve my spoken English always makes me lose my head. I think the English teaching at college is a failure. The training in spoken English is too little. We do not have a good opportunity to learn spoken English. As everybody knows, if you want to speak well, the first thi
14、ng you must do is to speak aloud. But as a Chinese, its very difficult to find a native English speaker for a language partner. Now Im training my writing in order to develop my spoken English abilities. In the meantime Im still trying to look for a language partner. E How do you spend your weekends
15、? A Nowadays, we have two days to rest every week. Therefore, our university and college students can have much more leisure time. In the morning, I usually get up late.

16、imes I do some part-time job in the two days to gain some work experience. I used to be the tutor of several girls and boys. Every time I taught them, I was very happy. E What do you usually do during your vacations? A Maybe different people will spend their vacations in different ways. As for me, d
17、uring vacations what I like to do most is travel around. Nowadays in China almost all high school students have no time to go out for a travel, they have to commit themselves to heavy assignments for the college entrance exam. So as a college student, Id like to travel during my vacations. I can lea
18、rn much from traveling, such as the customs and culture of other provinces or countries. Besides, traveling can promote my character and personality like self-dependence. So I enjoy it. E Thank you. Now wed like to know something about you, Candidate B, so Im going to ask you some questions. E Can y
19、ou say something about your classmates? B In my class, there are thirty-three students. We are all majoring in international trade. Among them, there are twenty-five girls and eight boys. There are too many girls, arent there? Many classmates are very excellent. Some sing very well, some are good at
20、 violin, and some do well in sports. All of us study very hard, and we usually help each other. Sometimes we go out for short-distant travels. This spring we went to climb a hill behind our university. It was really very interesting though we were all exhausted after that. In general, all of my clas
21、smates are united, friendly and diligent. E Whats your major? Why did you choose it? B My major is International Trade. Before the entrance exam to college, I considered this field for a long time. At that time China was trying to be a member of the WTO, and the entry was widely expected. I thought
22、China would enter into the WTO in two years, and last year China entered into the WTO as I had expected. More multinational corporations and capital will be lured into China, and the amount of trade between China and other countries will be larger and larger. So, I chose international trade as my ma
23、jor. Now Im even more interested in international trade, and my knowledge of this field is becoming richer and richer. Im confident that I can do a good job with my ability in the future. E Which course do you like most and why? B Every term we will have about five courses, so Ill have at least thir
24、ty courses in my college life. Among them, I like the course named “International Trade“ most. There are several reasons. Firstly, as you know, my major is international trade, so this course is one of my core courses. Im very interested in this field. I wanted to do well in this course. Secondly, I
25、 like the teacher. She is always so kind, and often gave us very clear and interesting lectures. She regularly gave us some case study to discuss. During the discussions, we learned more professional knowledge. E How do you support your study financially? B I support my study by doing part-time jobs
26、. My parents are both peasants. The family income is no more than RMB 3, 000 per year, so my parents cant afford my college life. I have to do some part-time jobs to support myself. I used to be the tutor of several girls and boys. Now I have a part-time job in a multinational bank. Through my part-
27、time jobs, I became self-dependent. They made me more self-confident. Im no longer a little child. Besides, I accumulated rich experience from my part-time jobs. It will be good for my job hunting two years from now. E Can you say something about the entertainment available on your campus? B There i
28、s a great deal of entertainment available on my campus. For example, there are several tennis courts, two stadiums and two playgrounds on my campus.

30、 to talk about something for about 3 minutes. Im just going to listen. Id like you to discuss about long-week holidays. A I like week-long holidays, and Im always expecting them. Its so tiresome to study every day, and the weekend is so short for me to relax. In the weekend, there are also a lot of
31、things I have to do such as my paper and social work. But in week-long holidays, I have so much time. I can do everything Im interested in. B Yes, I agree with you. You can relax in the week-long holidays; you can also have more time to study. I usually make use of a week-long holiday to review my l
32、essons or practice my English. A I prefer week-long holidays, but I dont like to study in these days. Do you think its tiring to continue to study in the holidays? B Everybody would rather not study in weekend holidays, I think. Its a god-given opportunity to rest. However, for the student whose fam
33、ily is not very rich, I think week-long holidays are negative. A Why? B Obviously, they have no money to spend on a happy holiday. They cant go out to travel or eat with their classmates and roommates, so they will feel lonely and inferior to other students. In fact, Im just one of them. I dont like
34、 week-long holidays. A I dont like week-long holidays either. To some extent, a week-long holiday is an energy-consuming holiday. In week-long holiday, I always have to go shopping or travel with my good friends. Otherwise I would feel lonely if I stay on campus. Im exhausted after that. B But you c
35、an learn a lot through traveling. In a sense, travel is part of education. Besides, during week-long holidays, you can visit museums, galleries and historical places, through which your horizons will be broadened. A I couldnt agree more. As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull bo
36、y“, week-long holidays can make us study or work more efficiently. B But dont forget youll have the tendency to forget what has been learned after a week-long holiday, especially English. Its no good for your study. So we should have a shorter holiday. A The knowledge learnt in the lessons is just p
37、art of the knowledge you should learn. There is so much you cant learn in class. I think the advantages of week-long holidays outweigh the disadvantages. In this sense, week-long holidays are obviously better than shorter holidays. A Why did you say that travel is part of education? B To some extent
38、, travel becomes a human need, because we can gain many benefits from it. It can broaden our vision: we can make many friends while traveling and can also accumulate much knowledge about history, geography, local custom and conventions. Once you have had the pleasure of meeting people of other count
39、ries, your thoughts and decisions in the future will be affected by your impression of the people and nations you have visited. No matter how well educated you may be, you will learn a lot during your travels. B What do you think of students who sleep away the whole day in their dormitories during h
40、olidays? A I dont think its a good idea. I wont spend my holiday in this way, because its a waste of time. In a holiday we can travel) we can readj we can visit some museums and so on. There are many ways to spend our holidays. Holiday means we can dispose the time by ourselves instead of wasting th
41、e time. Time is valuable especially to us university and college students. We can take part in many activities and learn much from these activities. Sleeping all day cant bring you anything, and youll be sleepier if you sleep too long. Whats more, its harmful to your health. A Do you think that freq
42、uent holidays will make people lazy? Why/ why not? B Yes, I think frequent holidays will make people lazy. On a holiday, people can take part in some leisure activities to relax from tiresome study and work. As a student, I can learn much in the holidays. As a worker, I can regain my energy in holid
43、ays. Holidays make students and workers more energetic, so that they can study or work more efficiently. But if there are too many holidays, people would be accustomed to live without the pressure of work or study, and they may not concentrate themselves on study or work. They may keep thinking abou
44、t how to spend the next holiday. So, I think the number of the holidays should be reasonable, and we should keep a balance between holidays and work. B What do you think of our governments decision to lengthen certain holidays? A I think the most important reason is that the government wants to gain
45、 “Holiday Economy“. The lengthy holidays can bring about an unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. It can add fuel to the Chinese economy.

46、benefits tourism, transportation, catering, hotels and service industries and enables them to thrive during holidays, which in turn adds fuel to the overall economic growth. Whats more, through lengthening certain holidays, people have more time to do what they like to do. They can spend the holiday
47、 traveling, going shopping, visiting friends, families or if they like, they can take some courses they are interested in. Anyway, more spare time gives people a better opportunity to enjoy life. A Do you think week-long holidays will increase pressure on transportation? Why/ why not? B Yes, of cour
48、se. In China, the most popular way is to travel in the week-long holiday. People go to big cities or some beautiful places by plane, train, bus and so on. So, the train is so crowded that its very difficult to buy a train ticket, and the bus is also very crowded. There are so many buses and cars in
49、the street. The traffic is really so heavy. In the streets, in the parks, you can see many tourists there.
