Good morning/afternoon. My name is ______ and this is my colleague ______. He/She will be listening to us.
So you are A and B. Thank you.
To start with, we'd like to ask you a few questions about yourselves.
(Choose several questions from the following list as appropriate.)
问答题 Where are you from? Can you tell me something about it?
【正确答案】[听力原文] I was born and brought up in a mountain town named Boshan. It is a small town with about 10,000 people. Many of the people there have lived for their whole lives. However, it was a German colony because of the coal in my hometown. So you can see some German style architectures and the railways which were built by German people. In some way, my hometown actually is an industrial city.
【答案解析】[解析] 考生首先要明确回答的是你出生以及生长的地方,而不是你的祖籍。而且注意要说出的是这个城市或城镇而不是简单地说“中国”。在介绍自己家乡的时候,可以涉及很多内容,考生可以选择自己熟悉的内容来回答。以下是一些可以谈及的内容:Landscape(地形地貌)、People and Customs(风土人情)、Climate(气候)、History(历史)、Business/Industries/Products(商业/工业/产品)。
问答题 Can you tell me something about your work?
【正确答案】[听力原文] Currently, I work for Beijing Radio Station to broadcast traffic news to the public. I love my job! Sometimes I feel very excited for some taxi drivers even can recognize my voice when I take their taxies. I am very keen on my work and much amazed that so many stories take place in the world everyday, which keeps my eyes and mind open. Through my work, I have made a lot of friends in my life, most of whom are drivers, because they listen to my program every day for picking up traffic information. I do feel I assume great responsibility for their lives sometimes. So, I have to improve my language and communication ability constantly.
【答案解析】[解析] 注意考官也许会用不同的表达方法问考生,如“What do you do or what is your job?”等。考生在说出自己的职业后,可以很自然地就自己的工作时间、工作性质或具体的职责补充一两句。
问答题 What are employment opportunities like in Beijing?
【正确答案】[听力原文] The job market is getting tougher and tougher. Because more students enter universities or colleges every year, which means more graduates turn out every year. For job hunters, especially the new graduates, they are under too much pressure now. I hope government can take some effective measures to help our graduates. And the graduates also have to learn to face up to the reality.
【答案解析】[解析] 回答这个问题时,考生可以讲得稍微详细一些,但也没必要长篇大论,可以就自己的工作领域略微展开论述,并讲一些具体的事实。同时注意多听有关方面的广播,中国国际广播电台不失为一个很好的选择。
问答题 Do you have any hobbies? What are they?
【正确答案】[听力原文] I like singing and dancing a lot, because they can make me happy and excited. I often sing with my friends in KTV rooms. After singing, we always chat together. We can share each other's opinions and happiness and give each other advice. I believe most girls like singing, and I am no exception.
【答案解析】[解析] 在回答这个问题时,考生可以考虑自己的爱好是什么,经常在什么地方进行此活动,多久进行一次或为什么喜欢等方面的内容。
问答题 Do you think people today have enough free time? Why/Why not?
【正确答案】[听力原文] It depends. For some people whose jobs are flexible or not very heavy, they do have a lot of free time to relax. But for most young people, they have to work hard to make a living by themselves. Especially the new generation is struggling to live independently. So, most young people feel stressful of their lives and don't have enough free time to enjoy life.
【答案解析】[解析] 在做出肯定或否定回答后,考生应很自然地给出有或没有空闲时间的原因,这样做比等待考官追问感觉好。
问答题 Describe a job that you would like to do in the future.
【正确答案】[听力原文] If I have opportunities, I would like to be a nurse in other country, especially in my favorite place—Australia, where I would attend to the elderly people in nursing homes and after that stay at home to cultivate my children. Anyway, I am a person who is willing to do the job.
【答案解析】[解析] 对于未来的工作计划,考生不要讲得过于抽象,最好能说出具体的想法和打算,要对自己的未来职业有个清晰的描述,但不要滔滔不绝。
