武汉理工大学研究生英语口语复习资料总结1、The differences between Chinese and American educationGood morning teacher:They think that Chinese education can efface students creativity and enthusiasm for learning. In my opinion, the case can appear because Chinese education is different from American education. First of all, Chinese support all-rounder education. They think that their children who were in very young can not lose in starting line. Hence, when children should be spoiled, children would have been forced to learn piano, dance, drawing, and English. Children lose their simplicity, the curiosity about interest and childhood joy. Children are only arranged to do what parents want them to do. However, American supports professional skills. They think that it is good their children have a personal strength. In elementary school, children can learn how to play; in middle school, children can found their personal strength; and to senior high school, children must be sure their roads. In college, children can develop their profession. In addition to basic education, most peoples opinion are that Chinese education is for foundation education, and American education is for the cultivation of students creativity, but it can let students learn more. Chinese education focuses on the knowledge to accumulate and indoctrinate, on how use and manage the knowledge they learned in school is not taught. Reversely, American care more about how students use knowledge in society. Most important, their education style is different. Chinese education style can be called “Exam-oriented Education”. At school, the class cadence is always dominated by the teacher. Whats more, the score can determine students everything, including you are good or bad. American education style can be called “Quality-oriented Education”. It cultivates the creativity and ability of students so that they can meet the needs of society in the future. Comparing between countries can make us have a clear opinion about what we should improve. It is essential for our Chinese to adopt some good education methods from other countries. It helps to educate our children to be a person with high IQ and EQ.2、The real purpose of educationThe purpose of education is one of the main focuses of the society. Some of societies think that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit, while some other societies think that formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free. And I think our education should not only teach the younger generation common sense of the world but also sharp their critical mind and creation ability, find their gifts and fulfill them to make contributions. However, the purpose of education is not only making students know something but also making them have critical sense. Based the common sense of world, student would have the courage to doubt the authority and speak out their own opinions. In addition, for ordinary people, their felling of happiness comes from their affection and sentiment but not reasoning and logos. To cultivate Imagination and enthusiasm, the ability of creation; they must can grasp the afflatus and break the tradition. Nevertheless, the means of education may have its own problems. The school today overemphasis the things which are known to be true and the students pay too much attention on memory those things. And those things distort the real purpose of education. We must do our best to change these situations and give the younger generation a health environment for studying. Time is changing and developing. Our means of education must according to the development of the society in order to re-shape the younger generation meet the purpose of education. The younger generation of our society must not only have basic sense of the traditional things but also the ability of creation.3、Successful result of the education The successful result of the education is not about having good grades. But its about having open-mind with the people around you during the process of your education, about how much you have learned from others. Learn to find our gifts, to solve the problem by ourselves , to fulfill our talent to make great contributions , to make the change, to help others with what we learn.It better to teach a man fishing than to give him the fish.Show him how to walk rather than taking him to the destination.4、Ebook VS Paper bookWhat do you think is better for reading an ebook or a traditional paper book, and what do you see as differences between them ?the advantages of ebooks are that1. you do not have to pay for most of them 2. you can have almost every position you want (that is hard to find in local library or book store) 3. you can send it to your friendthe advantages of paper book1. you do not use your eyes sight as mush as while reading e-books2. Reading book with a cup of tea is like an art /like sacret custom. It has its charm.I like to smell new bought book and take care of it while reading.I prefer ebook because I can bring them wherever I want in my cellphone. To be frank, I can save me a lot of money to buy books.5、The sports I likeMy best favorite sport is basketball. Everybody likes playing basketball in university. I love playing basketball, too. Its my favorite. I go to play it in our school gym as long as I have time, My P.E teacher told me that playing basketball would make me tall and strong and he encourages me to play it more often. I play harder than before. My P.E teacher teaches me how to play it better. I made progress. I have my own way to play it. Basketball is a very good sport. It can strength our bodies. It is a good way to relax, release our pressure too. My favorite basketball player is Kobe Bean Bryant, it is because him that I begin to play basketball and I gradually love to play basketball, he is a great basketball player and he has tenacious perseverance. His ball skill is so miraculous, and now he is in the L.A. Lakers, and being the key figure to shoulder a responsibility. I like him so much. Since basketball is so interesting, lets play basketball together, ok? I am sure it will make our college life wonderful and encourages us to perform well in every field.6、World car Free DayOn world car free day-September the 22nd, people are advocated to use environmentally friendly transportations such as buses, underground, bikes, or on their bare foot, instead of driving private cars which do great harm to the increasingly worsening global warming, air pollution , traffic accidents, etc. There is no doubt that the intention of this activity is very good, however, the implementing is below expectation. At the very beginning, people were interested in it and took part in it, but as time went on, participants became less and less. And now, the condition becomes even worse. Some people say that world car free day is indeed a wonderful activity; but on the other hand, it is quite unrealistic. For it can not arouse more peoples attention and can not change peoples habits of driving. It can not change the deteriorated environmental condition in one day in such a stupid way. To cater to this activity, some cities even forbid cars in certain areas, which make the jam worse in the surrounding areas. However, we should know clearly the main purpose of the world car free day. We do not prohibit cars, which sounds impossible for people in 21st century. We just want to recall peoples attention on environmental and traffic problems. To make life better and faster, we invented cars, but as a result, we become slower because of traffic jam and our life becomes worse because of the air pollution, sound pollution, global warming. The world car free day is an opportunity for people to remind the necessity of reducing private car driving. At least, people can walk or ride bicycles if the destination is not far. This is the solid foundation to alleviate the aftermaths of private cars. People realize the root of their problems, and then they can solve it probably. I do believe our world will become a better place because of the implement of world car free day.7、Tiger mother and cat motherAs we all know, education plays an important role in the development of human. So educational style is a good topic which is worth thinking about. Recently, the educational styles of tiger mother and cat mother are so hot in society. Chuan army stands for the style of tiger mother , Chang Zhitao stands for the style of cat mother . They use two different absolutely educational ways, but their children are all excellent and outstanding. The style of tiger mother is similar to Chinese parents style in which they treat their children. She is so strict with her two daughters, Sophia and Louisa in every aspect of lives. She makes a lot of requirements for them, for example, watching TV or playing computer games is not allowed, as well as getting any grade less than an A. Even a Chinese child like me is so surprised to know those requirements from a mother. However, the educational style of “cat mother” is kind and democratic. He prefer to respecting the choices which are made by his daughter, Chang Shuai. In addition, communicating with Chang Shuai and knowing about what she is thinking are necessary in life. Not like tiger mother, “cat mother” gives much freedom to his daughter, he encourages Chang Shuai to join in various society activities and he doesnt force Chang to study hard and better. I think just because he trusts his daughter that she can do well, he choose kinder and tolerant educational style. I was raised with the style of cat mother. My mother can listen to my thoughts and respect my choice. I feel very happy and relaxed. Of course, in the future, I will pick the style of cat mother for my children. According to my points, Freedom is so vital to children. They can do whatever they like, apparently, the things they do must be beneficial to the growth of them. Whats more, Teaching them lots of human principle in a relax atmosphere and encouraging them to think things by themselves are so necessary. I do think parents should give much more freedom to their children!1-StudyA: Good morningafternoon teachers,we are very happy for todays oral test. Today, our teams topic is “study”. As is well-known, study is very important, and it plays a very significant role in modern world. B: Everything that makes our society more advanceable, is depended upon the study. We read more books and fewer mistakes would be made by us. For that, we can learn more mistake examples from books so that we will make few mistakes in the future.C: Personally speaking, study can make a full man, can cultivate a man, and can make a man move forward. We read all kinds of books that contribute to perfect our knowledge structure and form critical thinking. So we should read books of various fields to make us be a full man. That also can learn more about our world in all aspects. In my opinion, a full man should have a positive world view and adopt an active philosophy of life, which are usually based on a knowledge culture.D: Studies can make people happy, wise, increase knowledge. If we read all kinds of books, in that way, we are able to taste what might not happen to us in real life, and then ask ourselves what we should do in that situation. D: Whats more, we should choose some book to read, but not read all the books. Some useful books should be read carefully and taken notes. Different books have different functions, and reading different books can bring different knowledge which we lack.1-EducationA: Good morningafternoon teachers,we are very happy for todays oral test. Today, our teams topic is “education”.As a developed country of the world, the American not only leading in the science and the economy, American scientists also have received a disproportionately high number of the Nobel prizes awarded in the physical and life sciences. Its educational system stands apart from the rest of the world. Americans success regard to many reasons , and now we talk about it. B: I think the American education operates with a free market spirit in a much less regulated, more laissez-faire climate. Its curricular organization is less structured, allowed the students themselves the freedom to make their own educational choices. This aspect of the American system is its strength, I believe. C: I think the subject is one point. Most American institutions of higher universities teach in a student-sensitive manner and offer a great variety of courses that will attract as many students as possible.D: Although American education is a laissez-faire curricular organization, its also strict. Sometimes students r play too much or is too relax, they are not able to stay in the universities for the higher grades, contribute to the students work hard.A: I think another reason lies in the Americans organization which other countries can copy, but they will not find it easy. Every year not only the states poured money into community colleges, it also attract a wide range of patrons from state governments to religious bodies, from fee-paying students to generous philanthropists which brought a lot of money in construction of university.The challenges in a university could be:Time management ;cultural customs ;get involved in new environment ;academic burden ;learn new skills ;peer pressure ;join different societies ;weather and food ；local accent ;read and write in academic english.；love.第二章1:do you agree that money talks?what are the things that money can buy and cannot buy?money talks means that rich people or organizations can get or do what they want.I do not agree with it.we cant live without money ,but it doesnt mean money is everything.I think money is just a tool we need to survive.we should control money ,not by it .we human are the masters of it .money serve for ue. No matter how much money you give ,a person with high quality cant do what you want if it is illegal or immoral.The standard of peoples life do not have something to do with you have ,but about happiness and so on.For example ,money can buy beautiful houses ,but it cant buy an exact home or the happiness that you stay with families ;it can buy expensive cars ,but it cant buy the people you love to sit beside you ;it can buy friends ,but it cant buy a true friendship ;it can buy medical treatment ,but it cant buy time and health ;it can buy books ;but it cant buy knowledge and so on.It brings you food ,but not appetite ;medicine ,but not health; acquaintances ,but not friends ;servants ,but not loyalty ;days of joy ,but not peace of happiness.Yes, I cant agree more . The attitude toward about money.The grandparents: they have experienced the most difficult times in china. So they are very frugal, they spend one cents as two cents. And they will be willing to spend money only when it must be. Most of them like to hide the cash at home. They dont think put the money in the bank is safe. Often they are willing to put all of their money to their children, although this is not a large sum of money. And I believe this is their greatest love to the younger generation.Parents: most of them are frugal. They only spend money in the things what they think its worth. And they put most of the wage in the bank. Maybe to them, they regard the more and more in the bank card as a kind of assurance of life. And one day, when there is a need. Parents will take out all their life saving with no hesitation. For example, they will help their son to buy a house for he married, or they will spend the money for their children to study abroad.Ourselves: most of us dont know the difficult of making money. We spend money on anything we want. Even someone spend one yuan as one jiao . they are moonlight group. Whenever and wherever if they have money in their pocket, they will spend it over immediately. They shout the slogans” money will come and go, enjoy the life is the most important.”But the majority of us are not like that. We get the money, but we save a part of it in the bank. More time, we will use it do something we like. Such as traveling, shopping, investing and so on. We dont agree save all of the money in the bank is a good way. We believe use our own money to enjoy our own life is the more meaningful thing. When it comes to money When it comes to money ,most of us may be get nervous ,even quarrel with each other .For myself, I am reluctant to borrow money from my friends even I am badly in need of money ,cause it is difficult to open mouse to ask others to borrow money, however I may borrow money from my intimate friends who I can tell everything in some cases ,I think we should make it clear on money ,like the saying ,I have ,I return its not difficult.May be somebody will say borrowing money have a bad effect on friendship ,indeed ,it is true for me ,about a mouth ago ,one of my classmate wanted to borrow money from me ,after he said night hundred, I felt may be there is something wrong with my ear ,when he said the second time ,I told him I could not lend so much money to you ,finally I lend six hundred to him from the relationship between friends ,a few weeks later ,I beg him to return my money , the words he said make me feel uncomfortable ,actually , he said he did not have money at all, then I enquired him what did you do with the money ,he just did not want to tell me anything ,besides ,he said he had his trouble that he was reluctant to mention ,so I quarrel with each other . obviously the friendship between us went bad . I would not like to let same thing again borrow money is about credit ,but for me friendship is more important than money ,if time could come back ,I would not lend mon
