2、 to talk about her is that my friend is always going on about how lucky he is to have such a nice mum. And from what I know about her, Id say hes absolutely right!Anyway, as for how I know her, well its basically due to the fact that I went to the same middle school as her son. And because we became
3、 pretty good friends, we ended up seeing quite a lot of each others parents, especially during the holidays when we often went over to each others homes.And regarding what his mother looks like, well interestingly enough, she actually looks pretty similar to my own mother, because they both have qui
4、te round faces and long wavy hair. Having said that though, Ive noticed that my friends mother often ties her hair up in a bun, whereas my mother usually always keeps it down. And another thing to mention would be that whenever I see her, she always seems to be wearing red clothes of some sort, whic
5、h I guess is probably because red suits her quite well.But anyway, finally then, with regard to why I think shes a good parent, well Id say there are quite a few reasons, one of which would be that shes always been fully supportive to her son. And just to give you an example, when he was deciding wh
6、at major to study at university, he ended up choosing music. And his mother gave him her full support, which is probably not what many other parents would have done, as music doesnt really leave open a lot of career choices, if you know what I mean!And I think its fair to say that nowadays, a lot of
7、 parents persuade their children to do things which they think are best for them, but my friend has said that his parents have never been like this with him, especially his mother. So I kind of get the impression that shes never forced him to do anything against his will, and has always let him make
8、 his own decisions, which I think is really great.Notes:always going on about = always sayingend up doing sth. = 最终做某事interestingly enough = 说来有趣Having said that though = 不过话说回来of some sort = 某种just to give you an example = for examplebe fully supportive = gave sb. ones full support 全力支持leave open a

10、erson looks like And explain why you think the person is polite.Ok, right then, well the person Id like to talk to you about is a very good friend of mine called Matthew, the reason being that he must be one of the nicest and most polite people I know, which Ill come to explain in a moment.But first
11、ly, as for how I know him, well weve basically known each other since middle school, because we were in the same class together, and we still touch base quite a lot with each other. You know, if I feel like going out and doing something, I normally give him a call and see if hes free to meet up.And
12、moving on to why I think hes so polite, well its basically because hes just got really good manners. And just to give you an example, he always says thank you to people, even for the slightest thing. For instance, Ive noticed that whenever were eating at a restaurant, he will thank the waiters and w
13、aitresses every time they bring a dish to the table. And another example would be that whenever he gets off a taxi, he will always say thank you to the driver, which a lot of people probably think isnt necessary, but Im sure the bus drivers really appreciate it, as do the waiters and waitresses, bec
14、ause its not all that often they hear people thanking them!So yeah, thats basically why Id say hes such a polite person, and Im just trying to think if theres anything more to add, um oh yeah, and one other thing to mention would be that hes always very complimentary to people. So what I mean is tha
15、t he tends to always say nice things to people, for example he might make a comment about how nice someones looking, or how good their cooking is, which I know might be seen as being a bit um whats the word um insincere, but I think he genuinely means what he says, at least most of the time anyway!A
16、nd I mean, I cant remember a single time when hes ever been unpleasant or rude to anyone, and I also cant really imagine him being nasty to anyone either.Notes:the reason being that = because 因为which Ill come to explain in a moment = 我待一会儿就解释hes got really good manners = hes really polite 他很有礼貌touch

Its best to try and keep talking, even when you are thinking!)Describe a person you know who has an important job.You should say: Who the person is Where the person
20、works What the person does in the job And explain why you think the persons job is important.Ok, well it was actually quite difficult choosing who to talk about, because I mean if you think about it, everyones job is important in some way or other. But in the end Ive decided to talk about an uncle o
21、f mine whos a doctor. And I apologise if youve already heard a lot of other examinees talking about doctors, but hopefully I can give you a few more insights into the job, based on what I know from my uncle.So first of all, as for what he actually does in his job, well Ive never really asked him the
22、 specifics of what he gets up to every day, but in a nutshell, he spends most of his time treating patients, which involves firstly finding out whats wrong with them, and then helping cure them of whatever pain or illness they have. So normally, after examining a patient and listening to what they h
23、ave to say, my uncle will then give them a prescription for suitable medicine to take, which he told me is extremely difficult to get right every time, even after having over 20 years of experience, due to the fact that the human body is just so complex. And even though my uncle specializes in skin
24、disorders, there are still countless different kinds of various infections and conditions, so its not easy at all to give a one hundred percent accurate diagnosis every time, as Im sure you can understand!But anyway, regarding why his job is important, well I think it goes without saying that doctor
25、s are extremely important! I mean, if we didnt have them, most of us wouldnt have a clue how to make ourselves better, and so we wouldnt be able to get rid of a lot of illnesses we might have. Of course, for small ailments it wouldnt be too big a problem, but if you were to come down with something
26、serious, then you would be in quite a bit of trouble if there werent any doctors around to help you!So yeah, I think its pretty safe to say that theyre an essential part of our society, and Im really grateful to doctors like my uncle who have devoted so much of their time and effort into helping peo

29、hen, well the cafe that Id like to talk to you about is one called Maya Cafe, which is somewhere on the outskirts of the city, just a few minutes walk from where I live.And as for how often I go there, well I actually go there quite a lot, probably something like once or twice a week. Having said th
30、at though, it really kind of depends on how busy I am. I mean, there are times when I dont go for weeks on end because Im simply too busy with stuff, but normally thats not the case, and Im there pretty regularly, as I just mentioned.Anyway, regarding what kind of things they serve there, well its g
31、reat, because theyve got a really good selection of both Chinese and Western food, so theres a lot to choose from. And in terms of drinks, theres also quite a lot on the menu, especially coffee, which you can probably imagine, what with it being a cafe and all. And I tend to normally always go for t
32、he Chai Latte, cos I think they do it really well, and so Ive never really felt the need to try any of the other drinks on the menu.But anyway, finally then, moving on to why I like this place so much, well Id say its a combination of reasons, one of which would be that its really big and spacious,
33、at least compared to most of the other cafes Ive been to, so you never have to worry about not finding a place to sit. Although having said that, it can sometimes get pretty busy in the evenings, so I usually tend to go in the morning or afternoon. Anyway, another thing to mention would be that the
34、food and drinks there are pretty good-value. Because I mean, most of the Western food there only costs between about 30 to 50 Yuan, which is a lot cheaper than most of the other Western restaurants in the city. And the price of the coffee there is round about the same price as Starbucks, which some
35、people might see as expensive, but considering the fact that youre paying for the environment as well as the drink, Id say its definitely worth it.Oh and the other thing I really like about it is that you can spend as much time as you want relaxing there, without being bothered by the waiters. And t
36、he chairs there are nice and comfy, so its actually very easy to spend half the day there using the free wifi or doing whatever.Notes:on the outskirts of the city = outside the city 在市郊something like = about 大概Having said that though = Although having said that = 不过话说回来on end = 持续地normally thats not

38、oom is nice and bright“ / “the library is nice and quiet“)Describe a time you went to a place crowded with people.You should say Where it was When you went there What you did there And explain why you went there / how you felt about the crowded place.Ok, well the first place that came to mind when I
39、 saw this topic was the Beijing Metro, because I remember it being unbelievably crowded, so thats what Im gonna talk to you about.And as for when I went there, well it was actually pretty recently, which I suppose was probably only about two or three weeks ago, so its still pretty fresh in my memory
40、.And regarding what I was doing there, well basically, I was on my way to see a friend who lives in Beijing, and she had told me that by far the best way to get around the city was using the subway, simply because the roads were so congested. So I took her advice, but it was a huge shock when I actu
41、ally got into the subway station and saw just how many people there were. I mean, I knew that there would be a lot of people, but I never expected to see that many!Although looking back on it now, I suppose what made it worse was the fact that I was travelling during rush hour, so it was a lot more
42、crowded than Im sure it would have been during off-peak times. And when I saw how packed the train was when it was pulling into the station, I remember thinking there was no way I was going to be able to get on. But I was in a bit of a hurry, coz I was actually already running late, so I had no choi
43、ce really but to join the huge queue of people waiting. Anyway, I did somehow manage to make it onto the train, but I was pressed up against people on all sides, so it was pretty uncomfortable to say the least! I mean, it was absolutely heaving, and I literally couldnt move at all! crowded = packed
44、= heaving 拥挤的Thankfully though, I didnt have too far to travel, coz if I remember correctly, I was only on the train for about 4 stops. And when I finally got off, I remember feeling incredibly relieved, and also very grateful that I didnt have to go through the same experience every day.Notes:its s
45、till pretty fresh in my memory = I can still remember it pretty clearly 记忆犹新the roads were so congested = 道路拥堵it was a huge shock = 大吃一惊what made it worse was the fact that = 雪上加霜的是already running late = 已经晚了make it = 做到，办成to say the least = 至少说来；最起码it was absolutely heaving = 挤死人了！Thankfully though
46、 = 不过还好go through = 经受，遭受 (尤为艰难时期)物品类：Describe another language (not English) that you would like to learn.You should say: What language it would be How you would learn it What equipment or facilities you would need to study this language And explain what difficulties you think you would have / why
47、you would choose this language.Ok right then, well there are actually quite a few languages that I would like to learn, but probably the one Id like to learn most is French, partly because it sounds quite nice, and also because France is a country that Id really love to visit sometime. Thus if I were able to speak French, I would then be able to converse with the locals, which would give me a much better understanding of the country and also make my time there a lot more interesting and enjoyable.
