【正确答案】A: I'd like to choose the third topic—What do you think of foreign Language learning? Learning foreign language is of great significance today, The mastery of foreign languages enables us to communicate with people of other countries, achieve mutual understanding and further our trading contact, economic cooperation, and cultural and acadermic exchange with other countries. By means of foreign languages, we read foreign books, documents and data in original form, draw new ideas and fresh thoughts, and introduce advanced science and technology into our country. So foreign languages are playing an important role in our efforts to enlarge China's influence and make greater contribution to mankind. There is great popular interest in foreign language learning in our country. More and more people start to learn foreign languages. Everywhere we can see people reading aloud English and listening to a taperecorder. And there are English corners and clubs where language learners seize the chance to practise speaking. To satisfy people's need, many foreign textbooks and reference books have been introduced into our country. Equally remarkable are foreign language programs on TV that attract a large audience. Thank you. Now.. . (say the name of candidate B), would you like to ask... (say the name of candidate A) some questions? (Allow a maximum of 2 questions by candidate B, followed by one more question by the interlocutor.) B: Are you good at speaking English? A: In fact, my major is English. But sometimes I am also afraid of making mistakes when talking with native English speakers. So there is a long way for me to go in speaking. E: Can you give some suggestions on foreign language leaming? A: The mastery of a foreign language needs painstaking efforts. One can never have a good command of it overnight. On the contrary, he has to spend enough time and take great pain before he can make real progress. It is not unusual that in the face of difficulties, a person gets so frustrated as to give in. But where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you persevere in your learning and practise hard, you will surely bring your study to fruition. Now... (say the name of Candidate B), would you begin by telling us which topic you have chosen and then give your presentation, please? B: I'd like to choose the second topic—What causes the tourism wave? The first week-long May Holiday "enabled holiday tourism, a newly rising industry, to spring up overnight. As a result, it's estimated that around 46 million domestic tourists traveled within the country during the holiday. However the long May holiday left people with many things to think about in addition to the over-crowdedness in the scenic spots and traffic jams. Why do so many frugal Chinese now suddenly become holiday makers? What led to the tourism wave? I think there are many reasons for it. Ostensibly, the tourism wave is a direct result of the lengthy holiday and ideal weather. Besides, the other reasons seem simple enough. With basic needs satisfied, people begin to look for higher-level consumption so as to improve their quality of life. Hence traveling becomes their first choice, even a must in life. In reality, I think the underlying reason was the deep, ongoing reform and opening up program. With the macroeconomic situations taking a favorable return, people's disposable income has risen to a high consumption level. As a result, the swelling pockets have enabled more and more people to go sightseeing. In addition, the travel frenzy also reflects the change in customers' psychology and form of consumption. Finally, it also reveals their desire to improve their quality of life. Thank you. Now... (say the name of candidate A), would you like to ask (say the name of candidate B) some questions? (Allow a maximum of 2 questions by candidate A, followed by one more question by the interlocutor.) A: Do you like travelling? B: Yes, I like travelling very much. I always go out to travel on the holidays. E: Which do you like better, natural or artifical scenery? B: I like both of them, Natual scenery is the wonder made by God, while artifical scenery is the wonder made by human beings. Both of them are great wonders in the world. Natural scenery together with artificial scenery makes the world a wonderful place to live in.
