今天是2010年的第一场考试,我们的jasmine老师和sunny老师冒着严寒在考场蹲题,从收到的题目看来,2010年的第一场考试中仍是在走旧题路线,基本上都在考前的预测中.
1. speech
今天的这个话题有两种考法,一种是an interesting speech;另一种是a speech by a famous people;同学们在准备这个话题时,可以把这两种考法合一,准备一篇an interesting speech by a famous people,以下提供说的模式,在考试时,换一下人物就可以了.
例文一:The best speech I’ve ever heard was back in my high school days. It must have been 2 years already, but I swear I remember every moment of it… even till now. I liked the speech not so much for its content, but more for the way the speaker delivered his speech.
This particular speech took place in the school’s lecture hall and it was packed with students and teachers. Luckily for me, I got in early and sat right in the front – 5 meters from the stage. The speech was to be about “Healthy Living”…not exactly very interesting I thought.
But when the speech started, it brought the house down. The speaker entered the hall wearing a huge hamburger suit holding a huge plate of McDonald burgers and fries! And he shouted “I’m lovin’ it …..And.... I’m dying from it!” Everyone was on the floor. What an awesome way to kick off!
The whole point of the speech, as you might have guessed, was about the harm of fast food. That part in itself wasn’t that interesting because he was throwing all kinds of numbers about calories, body fat, at us. I guessed no one really paid attention to that. But the impact had already been made. Fast food equals a fast death. Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here.
But the speech was truly effective in that I had stayed off fast food since then. Anyway, the speech then ended with a standing ovation.
例文二:When it comes to the speech which influences me most, i would not hesitate to say it's the one given by our headmaster in high school. it was on the first day of school. You know, my high school is not really a great one and a lot of students were not satisfied with the situation, neither was I. I was angry at myself and really puzzled about my future---how could I get into a decent university from this shabby school? Then her speech totally changed my attitude towards my life. I still remember she was wearing a red dress, standing in front of all the students. she said, I know you are not happy with everything right now--- the school, the score you got which got you here... but i want you to know that, every school has good and bad students, even the top schools in the world. But you can be still being excellent in a not so good school as long as you work harder. After she finished her speech, the students all stood up and gave her a big hand. i was totally welling up. That was definitely what I needed at that moment, a push from the teacher, to tell me my life still could be great if I want to make it happen. That was also a lesson for life. Every time I am almost about to complain or give up on something, I will think about her speech, everything is possible if you let it be possible.
2. family member you want to stay with
这是一个09年常考的老题目.
Well, when i got this topic I was very excited, because people used to ask me to talk about my family. And I 'm always proud of my family and enjoy talking about them. Now let me briefly tell you about my father, who has taught me a lot of life lessons. My father is a tall man with hard, handsome features, though he looks like a local and regular guy. Working for china radio international as a technical backup, he is a very serious, responsible and well-respected staff member. He’s used to me, "Tommy, no matter how small the task at hand may look, it might be an important link to the whole chain. So be faithful. Only when you learn to be faithful in small thins will you become faithful in big things.” now my father has retired from his job, but he is not free at all. his retiring life is well-arranged. He is doing some voluntary things now and he actually is the team leader. Though he is tired, he looks really happy. My father is not celebrity or rich person, but he is a great people with valuable life lessons to share. i love him and always enjoy talking about him.
3. health activity
friends 告诉你的health care 方面的建议
friends gave me some advice about health care.
She said that a person who wanted to be healthy must do 3 things.
The first is sleeping well. Sleeping is the most important factor of health. A person needs to sleep at least 8 hrs every day, and the best time for sleeping is between 10 pm and 7 am. staying up is the killer of fitness, while in the past, I liked to play computer games very much, sometimes I stayed up overnight and slept for 24 hrs the second day, which was a really bad habit.
Friends also suggested me to eat more vegetables and fruits, especially the fresh ones. But for me, I thought, vegetables were grasses, which were used to feed animals. Instead I only ate red meats, like pork, beef and mutton, now I am trying to change the habit and I am getting used to vegetables and fruits.
The last, she suggested me is doing exercises. At that time she was doing yoga, which she thought was an excellent exercise for ladies. I haven’t joined her so far, though I tried many times, but I will make up my mind to do it.
That is the suggestion from friends, who helped me a lot. I do appreciate it very much.
4. a toy
Mentioned to the toy, I would like to talk about my favorite toy---- chrism as father. This toy was given by my first boyfriend at 1998 chrism as eve. 1998 was the first year we met each other, so we especially cherished the memories of that year. Once, I had mentioned that I want to have romantic Christmas. So he gave me that toy and a bound of flower. I was so excited at that moment, and gave him my first kiss. You know, although first love is short, it is permanent. Until now, I still put this toy on my bed. It can recall my sweet memory.

8. a part of your hometown
I’m from Shenyang (for example), I live with my parents here in at the moment. To be more exact, we live in an apartment building in one of the northern suburbs of the city. I have my own room and enjoy the privacy that it brings, but I am looking forward to the day that I can have my own apartment. Allow me to explain: they are good parents, and I love them very much, but I would like to be more independent soon.
Sure. Firstly, I could mention the Hun River, which you will find around the city. To the northeast of the city there is the famous Qing Pan Mountains and the zoological park and botanical gardens. In summer it is a popular place to visit and see tigers, bears, wolves, other animals and even pandas in their natural environment. In winter we often go skiing there. Secondly, I would like to mention Beiling Park. It consists of a large park, with many gardens and a lake. In addition it also is the site of an emperor’s tomb from the Qing Dynasty. Lastly, there are many other sites that are worthwhile visiting. For example, Government (City Hall) Square with the Great Theater alongside it, Zhongshan Square, and the spectacular TV Tower, which is the highest architectural attraction in Shenyang.
The main difference between Shenyang and Changsha is the climate. For example, here they have a tropical climate. That is to say that it is very hot and humid. in Shenyang we have cold winters and hot summers. Secondly, Shenyang is an industrial city, whereas Changsha is more a financial center.
你家乡有些什么问题及facilities
9. TV program
Well, first of all, I‘d like to say what my favorite TV program is. As you might have known, it is one of the most popular show in China which is called DAY DAY UP. It’s aired every Friday night hosted by 6 really wonderful hosts. They are really very funny. You know, the show is the best pastime for me in my busy study life. They not only share the happiness with all the audiences, but also tell us something about Chinese traditional customs. For example, when spring festival is around the corner, they will show you how we can have the festival in a funny way---maybe the hosts will play a part in a flick and act thing out. I like this kind of show best. You know, you can learn things through it and also have fun.
10. Library
Describe a library you often go.
You should say: what is it
Where it is
What do people use the library for
There are many libraries in my city. But the one I choose to talk about is Yuelu district library. Located on the Xiaoxiang road in Yuelu district of Changsha just as its name suggests, it is in Yuelu district, west of Changsha city, beside the river. Ever since I was young I have been going there quite often.
As a small child who just started school, my rning for knowledge of this amazing world always drove me to delve into whatever books I could find and understand. And that library became a perfect place to be. Sometimes I would even spend a whole day there, seven days a week, for instance during, summer vacation. Though now I have less free time because of study, I still try to go there once a week.
The library has four floors. The first floor is basically a reception area which consists of a very nice lobby where visitors can rest and have a cup of tea and coffee. And of course, there is also a check-in counter. From the second floor and above, there are many large reading rooms and newly renovated multimedia center, which weren't there when I was yond.
I often spend a whole day there and forget to go back until my mother rings me.
I really appreciate that the government can create a good place for me to study
11. advertisement
Well, today I'm going to talk about an advertisement of perfume. The perfume is the only one perfume which with time flying but also gives out new fascination. I think everyone have heard about it. What is it? It’ s CHANEL N°5.It mixed luxurious and elegance, with courageous and spirit of breaking tradition.
At the passageway of train, a young lady was immersed in thinking with the voice of train, and exhaling a ***y and attractive perfume. A young man passed by, then he couldn't stop himself loving her sweet smell. When the train arrived at the destination, she wanted to find him with deep and ungovernable longings. In the noisy city with different kinds of smell, they missed each other. Finally, he found her when he just wants to give up. At the end of this advertisement, a shining double "C" appeared.
Just as Marilyn Monroe once said,” I go to sleep with nothing, but a few drops of CHANEL N°5."Even though fate is like a game, the fascination of N°5 is always making no stand.
12. music in your childhood
"Do-Re-Mi" is a show tune from the musical The Sound of Music. Within the story, it is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to the children who learn to sing for the first time. The song is about the meeting of spirits. It's a very intimate lyric, very, very intimate. It is a more hopeful song. The song is about leaving the big city for the countryside, going home again after a long time away. The song is talking about a boy getting out to another country and hoping something better is waiting for him there. It's one of xxx's earlier songs and it's not a harder song at all. It may or may not fit your personal taste, but give it a listen and see. The sounds in this song are made by animals. I enjo this song in Kindergarten. I would really get into the sounds that animals made.

13. shopping center
Describe a shopping center you often go.
You should say: what it is called
Where it is?
What special about it?
The shopping center that I like the most is called SPRING 100 Square. It is settled in Huang Xing road, and it’s not far from my school, so it’s convenient for me to go to. This place is focused on fashion and trend, so it’s very popular among teenagers. At weekends, the place is filled with middle school students. You can buy most of the ‘inner’ things there, such as albums of famous pop stars and comic fan stuff. For boys, there are shops highlighting football, where you can buy pillows with Manchester United or AC Milan’s emblem on them. For girls, there are shops selling fancy clothes, accessories, make-up and cute chains to hang on mobile phones. There are also special shops featuring ‘DIY’, where you can do a range of things from hammering your own silver necklace to making soap and perfumes. We once made a cake of soap ourselves in Junior 1 for our English teacher, who was about to leave China, as a farewell present.
14. interesting place
这一题可以用上tourist attraction的例文
In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayu guan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhai guan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture.
As a Chinese saying goes "He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a bawcock."
15. a letter
I want to say a special letter which I have received last Friday; I was a little gloomy that day because of some trifles of daily life. My mother gave me a letter after I got home. I am surprised because l keep touch with my all friend by the way of phones, msn or QQ. When I opened it I was shocked because I saw the content that one of my neighbors who went abroad last r would get married next Sunday with a Canadian. It is unbelievable, she is only 21. Is she crazy or mad? As we all know marriage is one of the most important things in one’s life. She is too hurrying to get marry. If I were her, I would think more careful more this. It is out of my expectation but reasonable to get marry once you find your true love!
