English Oral TestTest 1Part One: Read aloud the following passage. You will have one minute to prepare and thirty seconds to read.Exercise has become a major part of our conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, “You look like a runner. How far do you run each day?” A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many peoples minds.Part Two1、 Of all the subjects , I like English best . What s your favourite one?Me too ,my favourite subject is English.2、 What are you going to do after school ,Ben?I am going to play football with my classmates.3、 Excuse me ,where can I find the reference book for the senior 3 students?On the third floor of the library.4、 Here are the pills for your stomachache , take one pill three times a day .OK, Ill do it./ All right, thank you.5、 Mom, there isnt any ice-cream in the refrigerator?Oh, I will buy some this afternoon.Part Three1、 On your way to school ,you see an old lady slip and fall to the ground ,you go up to her and ask (1) Are you ok , madam?(2) What can I do for you?2、 You are talking with Tom , a friend from Australia , about the rules and regulations in his school , you ask him（1） How many classes you will have every day in your school?（2） Is there any interesting activities in your school every semester?Part FourDo you think the use of mobile phones should be banned at high school ?Why or why not?In my opinion, the use of mobile phones should be banned at high school . First , when we students at school , we have no time and no needs to use the mobile phones . Second , as we all know , more and more interesting functions like variety of games , surfing the Internet are available in today s mobile phones. So a student may play the mobile phone during the lesson so that he will not concentrate on what the teacher is saying. But on the other hand ,I think using mobile phones after school can be allowed . Because some students need mobile phone to make contact with their parents. So we can bring our mobile phones to the school and turn on it after school .Part Five: You will have one minute to prepare and another minute to talk about the following pictures in at least seven sentences.

And also children are sometimes pleased to have ice-cream and fried chicken. The most important is that we should warn teenagers not to eat often.Part 5Yesterday was Xia Mings seventeenth birthdayYesterday was Xia Mings seventeenth birthday.
