Lee: Yes, I am. This is the first time that I’ve played with such a famous orchestra and in front of so many people. They’re expecting about 4,000 people.
Interviewer: Does that scare you?
Lee: To be honest, yes. I haven’t slept much in the last few days. But my teacher told me I wouldn’t take it seriously enough if I wasn’t scared. That helped a lot.

Lee: My parents took me to piano and violin lessons. I quite liked them but they had to force me to go sometimes.

Interviewer: What do your friends think of you playing a Chinese instrument?
Lee: Well, a lot of my classmates think playing things like the erhu isn’t cool. I don’t care. It makes me happy. I got a letter from Yo Yo, saying how much he admired me and that he’d like to meet me next time when he’s in Hong Kong. They thought that was pretty cool!
Interviewer: And what does the future hold for you?
Lee: I’d like to study music in a university in China then hopefully play in orchestras. My ambition is to bring the beautiful sound of the erhu to all the corners of the world.

What do you know about...Mars?
Anyone out there?
It's half the size of Earth, red (or reddish anyway) has a dry
landscape, and takes twice as long to orbit the sun. Any ideas?
Here's some more clues…
It's not been proven yet, but there is some evidence that
suggests there was once life on this planet millions of years ago.
Don't get too excited though, there won't be a space-video call
from E.T coming our way anytime soon.
In 2008 carbonate was discovered in the rocks on this planet.
This was cause for a celebration in the scientific community as its
presence could mean that life once existed there. This is because
carbonate is what the mineral parts of most living organisms turn
into after being buried.
Some of the world's leading experts have tested rock from the
planet and found out that it has many similar characteristics to a
type of rock found in North Western Australia called the Pilbara.
The Pilbara rock has helped scientists find many things out about
three quarters of the world's history. That's about 3.5 billion
years of science and history! So you can imagine the excitement
about the discovery of carbonate on this planet. Figured it out
yet? It's Mars!
This discussion about life on Mars has been going on for a very
long time. Some of the first evidence gathered about the
possibility of life existing on the planet was gathered after a
fact-finding mission in 1976. Astronauts from Viking 1 and 2 took
photographs in magnificent detail of the planet's surface.
What they saw was very exciting. On the planet's southern
hemisphere they found what looked like dried up, eroded channels,
flood pains and river banks. This suggests that water used to flow
there. This means that billions of years ago, Mars
could have been a world of rivers and oceans and
not the dry, rusty coloured desert it is now.
Did you know?
Mars has it's own Grand Canyon? It's a little bit more
spectacular
The 'Valles Marineris'
It's 4000Km long (longer than the United States!)
It's 600Km wide
And 10Km deep
Making it 50 times longer, 20 times wider and 6 times deeper
than our own!口语经典part1问题+答案 -

My family name means ‘peace’, and my first name has the meaning of ‘strong one’. My English name was given by one of my high school teachers, and it does not have any special meaning really. 6. Does your name have any special meaning? ( 7 - 8 )I presume you are referring to my Chinese name. Yes, the English equivalent of my family name would be something like ‘peace’, and in the case of my first name it would be ‘strong one’. My English name was randomly chosen by one of my high school teachers, and it really doesn’t have any special meaning. 7. Is your name important to you? ( 5 - 6 )No. I don’t think it can do anything for me. I believe a person has to work out his own life. I am planning to do this as well as I can. 7. Is your name important to you? ( 7 - 8 )Not really. I belong to the new generation who do not attach too much significance to our names. Names were important to the older generation as they are of the opinion that it will determine your destiny to some extent. However, I personally believe that I myself will determine my destiny no matter what my name is. I will do this by acquiring good qualifications and by working hard.&口语Part1范文：HOMETOWN8. Where do you come from? 8. How long have you lived in your hometown? ( 5 - 6 )I come from Guangzhou. My parents have been living here for the past thirty years or so. I grew up here and attended a well-known high school called Zhixin High School. We live in a nice area with many shops, restaurants, and other businesses. 8. Where do you come from? 8. How long have you lived in your hometown? ( 7 - 8 )I come from Guangzhou. My parents have been living here for the past thirty years or so. I grew up here and attended a well-known high school called Zhixin High School, a major middle school in the province. We live in a respectable area with many shops, restaurants, and a variety of other businesses. The people in our building are generally friendly and quiet, which makes it a pleasure to live there. 9. Where do you live? ( 5 - 6 )Well, that is not so easy to answer. Please allow me to explain. During the week I live in a dormitory at the university, but over weekends I live with my parents in a village about one hour by car from Guangzhou. So I really do not know which of the two to call my home at the moment. 9. Where do you live? ( 7 - 8 )I live with my parents here in Guangzhou at the moment. To be more exact, we live in an apartment building in one of the northern suburbs of the city. I have my own room and enjoy the privacy that it brings, but I am looking forward to the day that I can have my own apartment. Allow me to explain: my parents are very nice and I love them very much, but I would like to be more independent soon.10. Can you tell me something about your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )Yes, certainly. Guangzhou is in the southern part of China, and the capital of Guangdong province. It has many heavy industries such as automobile, aircraft, and machine tool manufacturers. In addition, it is rich in history. For example, the Japanese invaded the city and committed many atrocities (that is to say many crimes) during the occupation. This is still remembered by many of the elderly folks to this day. 11. Can you tell me about some famous landscapes in your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )11. Can you tell me about some famous scenic spots in your hometown? ( 5 - 8 )11. What are the main places of interest in your hometown? Why? ( 5 - 8 )11. What places should foreigners visit in your hometown? Why? ( 5 - 8 )Sure. Firstly, I’d like to mention the Pearl River, which you will find around the city. To the north of the city there are the famous Baiyun Mountains, the zoological park and botanical gardens. In summer the park is a popular place to visit and see tigers, bears, wolves, other animals and even pandas in their natural environment. In winter we often go skiing there. The Yuexiu Park is the second place I’d like to recommend. It consists of a large park, with many gardens and a lake. In addition, the city’s symbol, the Statue of Five Rams, is located in the park. There are many other sites in the city that are worthwhile visiting, such as Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Chen Clan Academy and the CITIC Building, which is the highest architectural attraction in Guangzhou. 12. What places in your hometown do you like best? ( 5 - 8 )There are many places that I like. If I had to choose one place, I would like to tell you about Tianhe East Railway Square. It is the largest square in Guangzhou. It enjoys a large open space where one can see the sky clearly and feel free. Next, it houses a fabulous man-made waterfall. The waterfall is the largest of its kind in the whole Asia. 13. What are the main crops in your region? ( 7 - 8 )The main crop in my hometown is, I’m afraid, skyscrapers, rather than wheat or corn, or something like that. You can see people plant bricks everyday, and months later skyscrapers grow up. Of course it’s just a metaphor, you know. Guangzhou is a metropolis. It almost has no agriculture and no crops.or ( 5 - 6 ):In our region many crops are grown. For example, one would find all kinds of vegetables in the fields of this region. In addition, many farmers have orchards. Here they grow many kinds of fruit like apples, pears, and peaches. Lastly, it is important to note that Guangzhou is not known for its agriculture. It is better known as an industrial city. For example, here are many heavy industries manufacturing anything from aircraft and automobiles to machine tools.14. What is the difference between your hometown and Beijing / Hong Kong? ( 5 - 6 )The main difference between Guangzhou and Beijing is the climate. Guangzhou enjoys a tropical climate. It is very hot and humid here. On the contrary, Beijing has cold winters and hot summers. Besides, Guangzhou is a regional center whereas Beijing is more a national or even world center. 15. What are the people like in your hometown? ( 5 - 6 )15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown? ( 5 - 6 )Well, they aren’t any different from the people in any other large city. For example, here we also have good and bad people. Secondly, like everyone else, they are trying to work out a good life for themselves and their children. For example, parents are trying all they can to ensure that their children receive a good education.15. What are the people like in your hometown? ( 7 - 8 )15. Can you tell me something about the character of the people in your hometown?Well, they aren’t any different from the inhabitants in any other large city. For example, here we also have many wholesome families as well as our share of criminal elements in the society. In addition, I believe that my hometown has not been westernized to the same extent as a city like Hong Kong. For example, in Guangzhou the people have not become materialistic to the same extent as the inhabitants of Hong Kong. In other words, in Guangzhou you would still find many good old-fashioned (traditional) people who have strong principles and values about many aspects of life.口语Part1范文：PRESENT SITUATION16.

I believe that the hotel industry will be growing greatly in future. People are becoming more affluent, and spend more and more of their money on holidays.

Should I change my job, however, I might not find such nice people to work with and could be very unhappy. What’s more important, I believe I will be able to develop my career here. If I keep up working hard and perform well, I could be promoted to head of a department in two years.29. If you could, would you change jobs? ( 7 - 8 )Although I am very happy in my present job, I believe one should always be ambitious. That is to say, one should never be complacent, but should be on the lookout for opportunities to advance in your career. Furthermore, I would not hesitate for one moment if I could obtain a promotion by changing jobs. I know one should show some loyalty to his/her present employer, but there has to be a balance between looking after one’s own interests and those of the present employer.30. Are there possible changes that could affect your job in any way? ( 5 - 8 )There may be some but not many, I believe. The company that I am working for is large and strong. In addition, I have a good relationship with my colleagues and my boss. The only possible change that comes to my mind is I may receive a promotion. That would be a positive development, so I don’t worry about it at all.口语Part1范文：FAMILYa) GENERAL31. Could you tell me something about your family? ( 5 - 8 )Certainly. My family is a typical Chinese one. It consists of my father, my mother and me. I am the only child. My grandparents passed away when I was still very young, so I did not have the privilege of knowing them. My father was one of their four children, and my mother has a brother, so I have a number of uncles and aunts and many cousins. 32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 5 - 6 )That’s a tough question. I think we have to have the policy in China. Our population had been growing to rapidly and something drastic had to be done. Besides, the policy will give China a chance to move ahead in the world. What I mean to say is that as soon as the population growth has stabilized, China will be able to make progress in the fight against unemployment. 32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 7 - 8 )That’s a controversial question in China. In my opinion, the policy has both merits and shortcomings. The policy is one of the most effective tools to solve the increasing problem of overpopulation in the country. On the other hand, the One-Child Policy has been extremely harsh on the people. It violates basic human rights. For example, it deprives women of their fertility rights. 33. Why do people in China traditionally want to have a son? ( 5 - 8 )That’s an interesting question. I believe the most important reason lies in fathers. They want their children to carry their name into the future. Only sons can fulfill the task. For example, in many western countries it is customary for a boy to receive his grandfather’s name. A second reason that I could mention is that parents worry about what will happen to them after they retired. They feel that when they have a son he would be able to provide for them in future. 34. Who does most of the shopping in your family? ( 5 - 8 )As far as this topic is concerned, I would say that my mother does most of the shopping, but my father and I will do some shopping from time to time. My parents allow me to buy my own clothes. The last thing I would like to mention that my mother does not like my father’s smoking habit and therefore refuses to buy cigarettes, so that my father has to do that kind of shopping himself.35. Who does most of the cooking in your family? ( 5 - 8 )My mother does most of the cooking, but my father and I will do some cooking from time to time. For example, sometimes when my mother is out the whole day doing voluntary work in our community and then my father and I will do the cooking for her. The second aspect I could tell you regarding this topic is that we often eat out. For example, often on a Friday night none of us feel like cooking, and then we visit one of the local restaurants, and have our favorite dish. 36. How does your family feel about you going abroad? ( 5 - 8 )They feel very happy about it and give me 100% support. I believe my parents will be very proud if I may achieve a degree at a university abroad. In addition, they themselves never had the opportunity to study in foreign countries. Since I am their only child, they would do anything in their power to allow me to have the opportunity.b) MARRIED PERSON37. Are you married, and if so when did you get married? ( 5 - 8 )Yes, I am married. I got married about three years ago. I have a good husband / wife, and we are very happy together. To put it in another way you could say that we are best friends. We do not keep any secrets from one another. We had known each other for many years before we got married, so we did not have to adjust too much. For instance, I knew before marriage that he snores loudly when he turns onto his back when sleeping, but I didn’t mind. 38. Do you have any children? ( 5 - 8 )No, I don’t have any children yet. We are planning to start with a family as soon as we have our own apartment. Until then my husband / wife and I are working as hard as possible to improve our life. We would both like to have a son and a daughter, but because of the one-child policy that will not be possible. 39. What is your child’s name? Does it have any meaning? ( 5 - 8 )My child’s name is Li Ao Sheng. He was born on the day that Macao became part of China again. That’s why he got the name. His nickname is Bao Bao, as we believe that he is going to become a strong man one day.40. What does your wife do? ( 5 - 8 )My wife is a housewife at the moment. We are looking for a job for her, but it is not easy, as she does not have any qualifications or experience. A new supermarket will be opened in our area soon, and we hope that she will be able to find a job there. She has placed her name on a waiting list, and we will be hearing from the employment officer soon.41. What does your husband do? ( 5 - 8 )My husband is a civil servant. He works for the Department of Health at a hospital near our home. He is responsible for keeping the patient records in the men’s wards. He loves his work, and is receiving a good salary, so we don’t have any serious worries. As a matter of fact we both agree that we have a lot to be thankful for. 42. Did you have a honeymoon, and if so where did you go? ( 5 - 8 )Yes, We did have a honeymoon. We went to Dalian for a week, and stayed in a small hotel next to the beach. I will never forget the time we spent there. For example, it was very romantic, as we could sit on the beach in the evenings and watch the moon rising over the sea. 43. Did you and your spouse have to ask permission from your parents before you could get married? ( 5 - 8 )No, not really. They knew we were going to get married. We only had to confirm the date with them to ensure that it would suit them and our families. In earlier times is was customary for the young man to get the permission from his girlfriend’s parents before they could get married. 44. Is living together without getting married acceptable in China? ( 5 - 8 )These days the practice is becoming more and more acceptable to society. What I mean to say is that it all depends on the couple now. Young people feel that they first want to know each other even better by living together. When they are absolutely sure that they are able to adapt to each other’s lifestyles, they would then most probably decide to get married. 45. Do you think couples should live with their parent or on their own? ( 5 - 8 )Definitely the latter. There are several reasons as for why I think couples should life on their own. Allow me to explain by mentioning some of them briefly. First, I believe couples should become independent as soon as possible. They should learn how to cope with the money at their disposal. Also, they should be alone as soon as possible. Generation gap can be the trigger for many quarrels between the young and old generations.46. What responsibilities should a couple take? ( 5 - 8 )There are several responsibilities that couples should take. In the first place, I believe they should be responsible for their own finances. Young couples usually do not have a lot of money. They should try to find ways to make ends meet. In the second place, they have to look after their child if they have one. They have to feed the kid and ensure that he/she gets a good education.c) CHILDREN47. Are there any traditions around the birth of a baby in your region? ( 5 - 8 )Yes, there are quite a few. After the baby is born, the father will give his wife some flowers, and take photographs of the baby and her. When the baby arrives at home, the parents will make prints of its hands and feet. The prints, together with a paintbrush made by using some of the babies hair, will be kept as souvenirs. 48. What kind of parent do you intend to be? ( 5 - 8 )That’s a good question. I’d like to mention the following points in this regard. First of all, I would love my child unconditionally. What I mean is that I know my child is not perfect, but I will still love him/her even if he/she has made mistakes. Next, I would like to be a strict but fair parent. I will not give my child too many freedoms, but I will also try to understand and satisfy his/her needs. 49. What hopes or fears do you have concerning your children? ( 5 - 8 )That’s an interesting question. What makes I worry most is that my children will have a very tough life. I wonder if they will have work to do since unemployment rate is so high even now. I hope that they will be happy. They will find a good spouse, have children and live together in peace and love, just like the ending of a fairy tale.50. What type of culture do you want your child to grow up in? ( 5 - 8 )That’s a broad question. I’d like to mention the following points: first and foremost, I would like my child to grow up in a culture of love. That is, the circumstances in our home will be full of love and understanding. Furthermore, I hope my child will grow up in a culture where the finer things in life are important. Things like music, art, and studying should be part of his life from the beginning. 51. Are you going to bring your children up differently from the way you were brought up? Why? ( 5 - 8 )No, not really. I believe my parents raised me well and gave me a good education. If I could do the same for my child I would be happy. Maybe I would be a bit more modern. For example, I believe my parents were unreasonably strict at times. I would try and keep a balance between discipline and freedom. d) WOMAN52. Is there any sex discrimination in China? ( 5 - 8 )52. Describe the position of woman in China? ( 5 - 8 )Sex discrimination against women can still be found in China though the country has tried very hard to eliminate it. One obvious example is that women who are doing exactly the same job as men are getting smaller salaries. Moreover, women are not considered for certain high level positions, say, in government. In addition, in many communities in China, women are still regarded as inferior to men. This is particularly true in the rural areas. Last but not the least, parents prefer to have a boy as opposed to a girl. This is against the nature, as it will upset the balance between men and women in China in the years to come.53. What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 5 - 8 )One of the main reasons regarding this topic that I would like to highlight is the fact that men often determine the wages in the companies. Next, women are not seen as able to do certain jobs as well as men. For instance, construction work has always been seen as a man’s job. Lastly, many men still have the traditional idea that a woman should stay at home, raise the kids and serve her husband.53. What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 7 - 8 )That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain myself by shortly mentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe that discrimination against woman have deep roots in societies all over the world. In other words, it is not a present day phenomenon. Throughout history woman have not enjoyed the same status as men. It is only recently that woman have been filling the same positions as men in the work place. Lastly, I believe that it will take much more time to eradicate this practice. For example, as more and more woman become the sole breadwinners in families, they will have to be compensated as such irrespective of their sex.54. Should housewives be paid a salary by the government? Why? (5-8)Yes, I believe housewives should be paid a salary by the government. Firstly, to be a housewife is a job just as any other, and one should be paid for what you are doing. Secondly, the more housewives there are, the better. For example, housewives can spend more time with their babies, and so lay the foundation of healthy relationships.口语Part1范文：PREFERENCES (1)a)&&&&& SPARE TIME55. What do you usually do in your spare time? ( 5 - 6 )55. What are your spare time interests? ( 5 - 6 )As a matter of fact, I have very few spare times these days.

Moreover, by means of web cameras I am able to watch what wild animals are doing in many parts of the world. I particularly like to watch the polar bears playing with their cubs. Surfing on the Internet is of course very time consuming, so I don’t really have time for anything else.56. Do you often watch TV? What is your favorite program? ( 5 - 8 )Yes, I often watch TV. My favorite program is called ‘Discovery’. It is not a science fiction but a documentary on real life events and happenings.

Last week it explained how some birds have adapted themselves to survive in a desert.57. Do you think watching TV is a waste of time? ( 5 - 8 )No, I don’t think so. We can learn a lot from watching TV and it is a good way to relax. Soap operas help me to relax, while the documentaries are informative. Lastly, I believe that TV has become the best source of information these days. For example, it is a fast and convenient way to find out about the latest news from all over the world. b) FRIENDS58. What does friendship mean to you? ( 5 - 8 )Friendship is of great importance to me because I believe that it lays solid foundation for many of our relationships. Husbands and wives, for example, should be friends. In addition, I need friends to help me when I am in trouble. I know this sound selfish, but I feel that it is one of the reasons why I have friends, and they would not mind me saying so. In turn, my friends know that I will always be available if they turn to me. 59. Do you have a lot of friends? ( 5 - 8 )Yes, I have a lot of friends.

( 5 - 6 )I prefer to be with my friends. Please allow me to explain. At work I spend most of my time alone in my office. So after work I like the company of other people. I often invite some of my friends over, and we listen to our favorite music, or just chat the whole evening. 60. Do you prefer to be alone or to be with friends? ( 7 - 8 )It depends. Sometimes I prefer to be alone. For example, after a hard day at work I just want to relax without anybody disturbing me.

These movies are from Hong Kong or Hollywood, and have famous actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise playing in them. c) WEEKENDS62. What do you usually do on weekdays and on weekends?

I have never been able to read a book from start to finish. Maybe the books I have tried were not interesting enough. 64. Do you like reading? ( 7 - 8 )Yes, I like it very much. I believe that all of us should read a lot. When you read, you acquire new knowledge, which in turn will broaden your views on important issues. I prefer magazines like ‘Crazy English’.

Describe a book that you have read recently. ( 7 - 8 )I have recently read a book about the history of South Africa. It is called ‘ The Covenant’, and was written by a famous American author called James Mitchener. It describes the history from the very first days, up to the present. It covers all aspects of the country, but focuses on the people of the country. For example, he looks at the political situation over the past fifty years, which was based on racial discrimination and had become known to the world as ‘apartheid’.67. Do you often read newspapers? ( 5 - 6 )No, I never read newspaper. I watch TV if I want to know what is happening in China and the world. It takes too much time to read newspapers.

( 7 - 8 )No. I have used the Internet these days to know what’s happening in China and the world. Websites like CNN contain all the latest news on world events.

For example, we believe that it symbolizes the energy radiated by the sun, which in turn is the primary source of life. In addition, however, it also signifies the obscene, as apposed to blue in the most of the western cultures. For example, here a ‘blue movie’, would be called a ‘yellow movie’.

( 5 - 8 )Oh, let me think for a while. I guess I listen to music for about half an hour every day. I would, for example, listen when I get home from school, or in the evenings before I go to bed.
