大学英语考试口语作文Test 2On Keeping a Diary in EnglishKeeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability. It can help us to cultivate the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English.In keeping a diary in English, we inevitably run up against a lot of difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly. Certainly, there are some other roadblocks we may come across in our keeping a diary in English.As far as I’m concerned, my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.Test 3Keeping PetsWith the rise of people’s living standard, keeping pets is becoming a fashionable activity in China. More and more pet markets are set up across the nation, in which various kinds of pets are available. Over the past few years, even the prices of pets have been on the rise. Some people would spend several thousand yuan on a smart dog or a rare bird. If you are strolling along the streets in the evening, you’ll see a lot of people walking dogs.People keep pets for different reasons. For most families, pets are lovely, sensitive creatures with whom they are able to communicate. They keep them just for fun and pleasure. As for some adults, playing with their pets is their favorite form of relaxation after a day’s work. As for children, it seems that there are no better friends or companions they can find than a funny-looking dog or a clever cat. However, for some people, keeping pets is only a display of their wealth. By owning an expensive dog or bird, they intend to show off how wealthy they are.I, myself, don’t see anything wrong with keeping pets. I think the love that exists between us human and animals can be even more strongly felt while we are feeding a pet. It is this harmonious relationship between human and animals that contributes to the balance of nature.Test 4Job Problems for College GraduatesNowadays, college graduates find it more and more difficult to get a rewarding job, and worst of all, many of them can’t find jobs in their specialties. But why does that take place? The possible reasons are as follows:Firstly, what the students have learned in colleges or universities can’t meet the demand of the development of industries. For one thing, the courses offered by colleges are so outdated that it’s hard for those graduates to translate their book knowledge into real job skills. For another, the students haven’t been taught how to combine the theory with practice. Secondly, it’s hard to make a choice between a well-paid job and a favorite one. Some graduates may give up their majors only to seek more money, but this will certainly prevent them from putting their ability into full play. Thirdly, there’s an oversupply of graduates in certain fields and this supply is still increasing. Now most students tend to choose such majors as English, accounting, computer, etc., which they think society needs most and will offer them better job prospects. The trend is so strong that too many students flood into the popular fields. As a result, many of them fail to enter the profession for which they are trained.To solve the problems, we should get the students out of ivory tower to gear their courses to the needs of industries and businesses, and help students seek a way of living a more significant life.Test 6Social Practice in EducationThe majority of the college students think that social practice is not important. They only consider their study as the most important thing. So they do well in class, but pay no attention to social practice. Some students don’t participate in any social practice at all. Therefore, they have little knowledge about society.In fact, social practice should become an organic component of school education. The knowledge we obtain in class is limited. So it is essential for the students to participate in social practice in order to learn something that they can’t get in class. In this sense, social practice is an important part of school education because it is a valuable supplement to classroom teaching.Participation in social practice does a lot of good to us. We can apply the knowledge we obtain from our textbooks to the solution of practical problems. Furthermore, participation in social practice can help the students have more knowledge about our society and our country. They will take correct attitudes towards their studies so that the teachers needn’t always urge them to work hard.Test 7Parental Hopes and Personal DesiresObligations to our parents are very important. Parents are the most beloved persons in the world. They bring us up, care about our lives, take care of our health and help us overcome difficulties. They think all decisions they make are good for us. Besides, they are more experienced. So we should do as they ask.Sometimes, obligations to parents cause people much distress. Between parents and us, there is often a generation gap. As we grow up, we develop our attitude toward life and the world. Sometimes parental hops and personal desires are quite different things. So we’ll be upset if we unwillingly act on their hopes.We’d better find a way which can make ourselves happy while pleasing our parents at the same time. It’s necessary for us to exchange our thoughts with our parents from time to time so that we can narrow the gap between us. In this way, both parental hopes and personal desires will come true.Test8Dear John,I’m very glad to hear that you have passed the examination an d been accepted by a very famous university. I feel so proud of you and I believe you really deserve the honor since you have been working so hard.As you have mentioned in the letter, there are both similarities and differences between college life and the high school. On the one hand, you have to go on working hard as there are a lot of subjects for you to learn. On the other hand, in high school, teachers will probably tell you what to learn and how to learn in details, and will also monitor your learning performance, while in college, teachers work like tour guides and you have to find your own way to acquire knowledge and solve problems.For you, I think to be optimistic is very important. If you hope to adapt yourself to the new environment, you’d better be positive no matter what difficulties you will experience in your college life. May you adjust yourself to the college life as soon as possible!Truly yours,Carl。
