公共英语三级口语必考话题
A 部分即口头提问,是针对所给的Topic(主题)设计出若干问题,向考生发问。它出现在考试的起始阶段和最后阶段。在这两部分中每位考生大约分别有一分钟左右的时间回答问题,大概要说十句话左右。所以不能简单地说上一两句就结束了。因为在口头提问部分不给准备时间,因此考生无论在考试前还是考试过程中都应有足够的准备。
  1)事先学习使用一些表达方式给自己争取一点时间思考。常用的表达方式有:
  As everybody knows.. Sofar as I am concerned. .
  What I mean is.. Well..
  That is to say.. You know ..
  2)重复考官的问题也是一种得体的方式,为的是让自己有一点时间思考。
  3)考试中选择自己熟悉的东西或事情来谈,否则会由于有些词不会用英文表述,而给自己造成麻烦。比如就音乐或书籍来讲,考试时选择一种会表述或表述较为容易的音乐或一本自己熟悉的书,比选择一种自己真正喜欢的音乐或一本书更现实。
  4)考试中为了使自己回答问题的内容更充实些,可以用列举法或举例说明法予以适当展开阐述。
  5)考生在回答问题时,如果发现自己要说的话太少,或觉得无话可说时,不妨把自己想到的问题再详细地说明或细化一下。
  A 节部分常考话题汇总及答案
  1. And what shall I call you?
  Most people call me Xiao Huang.
  2. Where do you come from?
  a. I was born in Xi‘an which is one of the major cities in China. It used to be the capital c
ity at one point in China’s history.
  b. I come from Shanghai but I was born in Xi‘an. My parents moved to Shanghai when I was just 4 years old so I really don’t know much about Xi‘anappreciates apart from occasional summer visits to see
  some good friends of the family. In fact I don’t have any relatives at all living in Xi‘an.
  3. Where about is your hometown?
  Xi’an is located in Shanxi Province which is in central China.
  4. Could you tell me something about your hometown?
  a. Hmm. . well the population is about 6 million. It‘s famous for its historic sites especially for the Terracotta Warriors. Xi’an was named the capital of China several times over many dynasties. Also Xi‘an is the starting point of the famous Silk Road which was important in ancient times. The weather is extremely hot in summer about 40 degree
s Centigrade and fairly cold in the winter about 14 degrees Centigrade below zero.
  b. Okay. Well first of all my hometown is “X” I was born in the city but moved to the outskirts of the town when I was small. “X” is a fairly large city — a pretty important economic centre actually. It has a population of 3 million. It’s pretty flat and is situated right near a large lake.
  5. What is the climate like in your hometown?
  It‘s generally very hot in summer about 40 degrees Centigrade. In winter it’s cold — about minus 14 degrees Centigrade. The spring and autumn are both mild and pleasant with temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 degrees Centigrade. Oh and the summer time is extremely humid as well. There are four seasons. Winter is cold and snowy; spring is short and rainy; summer is hot and humid; and autumn is beautiful.
6. Tell me about what‘s the biggest traditional festival in your country. Definitely the Spring Festival. I suppose it’s somewhat like Christmas in western countries. Spring Festival is the
only time when all families gather together and stores and business are closed for several days.
  7. Can you describe one of the main festivals celebrated in your country? National Day which is on October 1st is a big holiday. We get three days off and there are a lot of fireworks displays. There are large flower pictures and other types of flowers decorating the cityand some of the larger cities hold parades.
  8. How long have you lived in Beijing?
  Almost 4 years now. I first came to Beijing in July 1996. It‘s kind of surprising that I’ve already lived here for 4 years. I wasn‘t planning to stay for a long time but then I got a good job in a joint venture company.
  9. How do you compare the climate in Beijing with that in your hometown?
  It’s about the same except that we get a lot more snow in my hometown than we get in Beijing. I suppose it has something to do with the geography of the two cities.
  10. Which city in your opinion is the best city in China?
  Beijing because it‘s the capital of China and has a very rich culture. In addition Beijing is more beautiful than many other cities because it’s the showcase of China. A lot of money has been invested in Beijing and it is a very interesting place to visit.
11. Has the transport changed over the past 20 years in China?
  Yes very much indeed. We used to have very few bus lines years ago. Most people would use their bikes to get to places in the city. But now in big cities there are more bus lines linking different places so it is a lot more convenient. Some cities also have subway lines so it makes traveling much faster than before. There are also more taxis in cities and more people are also using that as a mode of transportation.
