What do you think is a good way to learn English?可能很多学生认为这个题目很简单，有很多的思路。但是往往思路越多的时候，越是理不清，说起来很乱。基本上，考生们需要找到一条主线，然后顺着主线来讲。比如说形式：学习英语最好的方式就是通过看英文电影，听英文歌曲以及读英语文章。然后，这三个内容都是第二部分常考的话题，这时候考生就可以再次借助第二部分准备过的内容来back up 你们的答案。同时，考生还可以加入其它内容，比如说
7、获取这些内容的渠道以及什么时候去练习英文。9. Do you think it is important to watch movie in the theatre?这个问题相对来说还是有点难度，但是考生可以抓住这样两条主线，电影的种类以及价格。首先上来，先谈到对于那些对视听效果要求比较高的电影，比如说动作片，或者是恐怖片，电影院是最佳选择，但对于其他的爱情片或者说喜剧片，可能就没有太大的必要了。其次，可以引入价格的讨论，在网上看更加便宜。10.

8、，还有英文报纸。然后考生可以进而结合自己，谈到自己最喜欢的报纸，这里建议考生去说 China Daily, 它是自己英语学习道路上的良师益友等等。后面这个部分可以完全套用第二部分中 Describe a newspaper 的话题。Describe an important invention (before the age of computers) that has influenced human society.*You should say:what the invention iswhen and where it was inventedhow it is usedand exp
9、lain how this invention has influenced society *题目要求的是电脑时代之前的发明创造，因此考生需要注意描述对象的选择。描述这个发明创造的时候要涉及到这个发明创造是怎么用的，这也是我在课上提到的 “state how“的问题，当然，并不是必须的。如果需要使用，要注意一些动词的准确性。What the invention isThe phone boothAfter the great invention of telephone by Bell, another American inventor Greg William invented the

20、ction. Describe a library that you often go to.You should say:what library it iswhere it is /what the library looks likewhat you do thereand explain why you like this library.点题 There is a library near to my home where I like to go. It is called the Peoples Library.地点 It is located on First Avenue n
21、ear Main Street. It is a very new building and has some beautiful urban sculpture standing on the grounds around it. The library has many floors. Each floor has differentsections.介绍 The firs time I went there I had to have a lot of help to find things but now I feel like it is my second home. When I
22、 go to the library I feel like I am leaving a lot of my worries and cares behind me, even if I have to go there to do some research or to study. I think that is because I know I can always find a quiet, private place where I can read or do my work. And sometimes if I want to travel to a different pl
23、ace or a different time, I can do that in the library by finding a book or something on the computer that will take me into another world.活动 I am particularly interested in this library because it has a lot to offer. Besides having a good stock of books, it also provides office facilities such as a
24、good copy machine, a book binder, many computers and printers, and much more. And it has very good service too. If you need a book in another library it will obtain that book for you by either shipping it from the other library or purchasing the book.Part 3Libraries1. Do people in China often go to
25、libraries?I think people of all ages use the library. However I think students use the libraries more often than older people. I often see young children in the library but I think university students use the library the most frequently. In my opinion, the older generation use libraries the least. S
26、ome are too busy and others have no interest in books.2. Even though it might cost a lot to maintain a library, do you think the government should open more public libraries?On the one hand I think that it is very worthwhile to have plenty of libraries. On the other hand with the way technology is i
27、mproving practically each day, it may be wiser to invest in making computers more accessible to more people. It is possible to go to a internet caf and go online, but much of this time is spent on worthless computer games and watching movies. Establishing computer libraries and educating people how
28、to use them beneficially might be s good idea.3.Do you think public libraries should be free of charge?It would be nice if libraries were free, but usually you have to pay a fee as well put down some kind of deposit. I dont think this is too unreasonable as people often do not appreciate things they
29、 get totally for free. If people know they can get their deposits back if they do not damage any books, then it makes them more careful. Of course the government should subsidize libraries so that the costs that people do have to pay are not exorbitant.4.How do you think libraries will change in the
30、 future?I can picture a future where computer technology will enable us to have easy access to all the resources a library provides. People may not even have to read. They can have the equipment needed to just listen to words being read to them. It may sound like fantasy, but with all the progress i
31、n technology I think it is very possible.Improvement5.What kind of skills do you think library staff should have?I think library staff should always be very well informed as to where things are located in the library. This will enable them to help people to save time in finding what they need, which
32、 is a very big help in our busy times. I think they should be very courteous also as people who are using the library can often be under a lot of pressure and often need a lot of help. They may be under pressure because of an assignment they are working on or because they are unfamiliar with how the
33、 library works. Library staff should also be efficient and have organizational skills. They may have to take care of a lot of details and it would make things very difficult for those using the library if items were lost or difficult to find. Last but not least library staff should be patient. They
34、may be faced with a myriad of requests each day and they will be unhappy and those using the library will be unhappy if the staff is frustrated, impolite or upset.6. What can be done to make libraries more attractive?I am interested in interior decorating and one thing I would recommend for librarie
35、s is to incorporate more neutral colors into the dcor. I believe that nowadays libraries are decorated to use maximum space and reflect maximum light. Browns and other muted colors can create a warm atmosphere. Comfortable and attractive seats can also make the environment more inviting. Also I am i
36、n favor of having works of art in libraries. Not necessarily originals but good quality copies of famous artists work are both attractive as well as educational.7.How has internet affected and reduced the popularity of library that it used to possess?Certainly the internet provides easy access to so
37、urces of information, although their validity should be suspect. However, there is nothing on the internet that replaces picking up an actual book and reading it. From my perspective, reading a book is a tactile experience which is perceptible to the sense of touch. Also books can be carried every w
38、here and read whenever you stop moving. Although I use the internet for a number of things, I have in my personal library about 3,000 reference books and I find things in them that I do not find on the internet. I augment this library with books from the library.MagazineI have been so fortunate that
39、 I am able to read. In my spare time I like reading magazines to get information instead of surfingthe net, and my favorite one must always be the “Fortune Life”. You know I am very fascinated by peoples story, namely the biography. And this magazine “Fortune life” covers a lot of stories of celebri
40、ties, sport stars , singers, critics, and teachers, etc, who was from humble to noble by struggling and striving in society.Its published bilingually by the Chinese government authorities, Chinese and English. It owns millions of readers around the country. The magazine presents in-depth reports and
41、 objective articles.The photographyof the celebrity is breathtaking, and the stories are very inspiring, which drive me to study and work harder to become one of those people one day, make my front-page.When I began to read this magazine, I never miss a single issue, for it really enlargesbroadens m
42、y horizon and gives me inspiration to lead a better life from the stories in it. You will never know how comfortable and relaxed it is with the feeling of touching this magazine, for it brings me serenity in mind.话题卡Describe a small business that you would like to own.You should say:what this busine

The typicalprimary scho
48、ols or secondary schools in China normally end at 4p.m. But the working hours for most parents is from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The centre will be a good place for the child to stay until their parents come to pick them up after work. Also I could set up a nursery or a kindergartencatering for kids who are

She said that it was so much fun to work with children.They are cute, and very trusting.it is trulely a very promising and worthwhile career-very rewarding as well.第三部分1.
