Speaking: Tiem:2:35-2:50 Interviewer: Canadian 30 something male S1: 1) name 2) from where :北京,the capital of china, it is a every old and modern city as well as a culture center and showcase of china. I lived there since I was born and now I am doing my ph.D here. 我設計了兩個潛在話題:hometown and study. 我不想按新東方的口語套路在from where 的時候就講hometown 細節,那樣會讓考官覺得你在刻意背書,而不是正常對話。
2) something about hometown ?:我從3000 年前和歷代都城的old,講到2008的modern 再講海納百川minority nationalities provide with different culture, custom, clothing, and food. 我就當我是個大明星和大學者在接受采訪。顯然不談到建筑和社會都不行,這為考官又埋了兩個地雷。 3) the most important building in your hometown?: 感謝朱莉的指點說應該是tian anmen rostrum。分幾方面:location: is in the center of beijing, facing the famous tian anmen square, over the main gate of forbidden city. Looks like: large high red traditional with curve eaves and decorated by painting. Function: 600 years ago to announce crucial issues- when new emperor enthroned and princess set up, nowadays, celebrate ABC and is for tourists.
4) the most important occasion?春節啦還用問,三點:when and what : lunar Chinese new year, week long holiday; what to do: all the family get together ,give red packet of money to children and unmarried adults, make such food as dumpling and niangao, play firework and firecrackers, keep the light on all the night. Legend : a sprite will come with bad luck to people who meet it. The sprite is afraid of fire and sound , so that people, for the sake of avoiding from meeting it, do ABC. Other legend why eat that food: smoothly get into a now year and get better, more prosperous. 總結,I believe by now you have some ideas of ABC, 他點點頭,我是不是特象個學者。
5) what place wanna travel in your country? Qingdao, 因為德國風格,我背過它的百年史耶。
S2: Card: About your englinsh learning . where and when did you start to learn English? Describe a most interesting English class. And what is the best way to learn english?
我最愛講故事啦,值得說的當然是第二部分啦,interesting 嘛:conversation class, Canadian teacher lecture 讓同學猜意思exp1)when stars are out, it is visible? Yes . when fire is out it is visible? No. 想不出的好例吧。 exp2) english is a kind of crazy language when you guess meaning: he taught us the word vegetarian is a man who eat vegetable, then wrote an other on the black board- humanitarian, god! What dose he eat? 考官大笑。還想乘勝講no ham in hamburgers, English muffin 不是英國的,french fries 不是法國的,后來又恐虎頭蛇尾就趕緊turn to 下部分啦。
S3: general questions: Do you think learning English will benefit to your first language study? 死啦,不是因為我英語不好是我肚子里真的沒有。很明顯他不想讓我得8分以上。 What is the most difficulty when a foreigner learn Chinese? 當然1)tone, 2) stroke spelling Do you happen to learn some other languages? 當然啦,我Ph.D. 嘛,要求的。 還有哇我有計劃宏圖嘛。
建議: in the first place, 真功夫要練learn speaking by speaking,最新消息要看especially the answer , experience and recommendation of others who have taken the test.
In the second place, 出國考試呀,advantages: 1) few candidates results in applying easier, only 2 weeks before, and get results sooner, only 2 weeks after. 2) Get high score in that knowing answer before test. Not only me, but also 2 schoolmates and friends of mine, who got a 7 and a 7.5 last May, enjoyed the happiness, at that time, the visions being used here were also the same as in china. 這不算作弊吧。 3) 口語有心理優勢嘛,因為公認的中國人good at English, 考官也這么想。而且就你是中國人不給你高分給誰呀。 4) 躲開國內高手們的競爭壓力,就是如果考fofel 能得640的那些人,你想,考官怎么能給所有人口語高分呢?他要正態分布的成績曲線。不要覺得自己差,才550,那是因為你跟中國人比,出來才會客觀評價你自己,這也很satisfactory 啦,因為別人更次,至少釜山這里是這樣。 5) 借機會還能旅游一趟以獎勵自己的好成績。 Disadvantage : cost more, need help.
