Oral TestUnit 1Living a full life一个完整的生活I think a good job is vital for everyone to live a full life. A good job is not only a source of income for daily necessities; it also brings out one’s potential. If one is good at his job, he can obtain personal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. It can help him to develop a good interpersonal relationship with his colleagues, which in turn adds to his confidence.A good appearance is essential for a full life. I have read a report about a girl who was extremely ugly. She went through hundreds of job interviews, but no company would give her an offer. As a young adult, she still had to depend on her parents. She had neither self-confidence nor income and she couldn’t pursue her hobby. You can image what a life she was leading. However, she was luckily, because after the news report, some kind people donated money to her for a plastic surgery so now she has a chance to get a decent job.I believe a happy family is the key to live a full life. You may have millions of dollars, and you may have a beautiful big house, but if there is no one to share with you the money and the house, what’s the meaning of life, not to mention a full life? When you are sick, it is your family who take care of you. When you are getting older, it is your family who stay with you.How to cope with sickness如何应对疾病Don’t isolate yourself; try to reach out to others;Stay as physically active as you can.Manage your breathing;Stick with your treatment plan.To change for the better为了更好而改变I think the writer means people change for the better in the sense that theybecome wiser and more tolerant, forgiving, grateful If they had troubled relationship in the past, now they are able to cope with them and bring peace to the relationships. They are more confident so they can handle anything that comes in their way. They can bring pleasure to other people as well.A built-in capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances一个内置的能力在最困难的情况下蓬勃发展I agree with the writer. Human beings have a tremendous potential in themselves that they may not recognize. The potential may never have a chance to be realized. But a crisis in life or a most difficult circumstance may trigger the potential and people will find themselves capable of more things. I once read a report about a nine-year-old boy who lived with his grandmother who is blind. His parents left him and never came back to see him. However, the boy was not only a good student at school; he also took good care of his grandmother on her little pension. He often went to school with an empty stomach, as he wanted to save the meal for his grandmother. It hard to imagine how a nine-year-old boy does all the homework, takes care of someone, and goes to school at the same time. It’s the circumstances that made him capable of doing so.What doesn’t kill you actually makes you stronger什么不杀了你真的会让你更强大I think it is true that what doesn’t kill you actually makes you stronger. We have seen some cases in which some people were struck by misfortune and were never able to stand up again. They became hopeless and helpless. However, some other people became stronger once they came out of the misfortune. For instance, a strong earthquake hit Sichuan province of china. Thousands of people died, and many more got injured. But now people have re-established their families, built new houses and started their new life. The survivors eventually will become stronger than they were. Going through a very difficult situation and coming out as a better person经历一个非常困难的局面,出来一个更好的人Yes, I have. When l first came to the university, I found I had a hard time understanding what a professors were saying in classes, especially in English classes because I left my ever university for seven years. I had so much pressure that I wanted to quit. Fortunately, my supervisor noticed the pressure that I was facing and he encouraged me to hold on. He also asked a upperclassman to help me with my study. Now I am a confident graduate student. I think with the past experience, I can handle any difficult situations. I am confident, optimistic and ready for any opportunities and challenges.Why do people take adventures or challenges, like extreme sports, to push themselves to limits and what can they obtain from theseexperiences?为什么人们需要冒险或挑战,喜欢极限运动,将自己推到极限,从这些经验能获得什么?I think these people are born that way. They don’t like average life that everybody is leading and they expect themselves to be different from others. They want to do something special.Those are the people who know they have the potential to be the strong person, they take part in those activities just to prove to themselves or others that they are the best.Some people do this to attract the public attention for one purpose or another. Some of them are business people and they want the public to be aware of their products.These people have too much money and nothing else to do. They are bored with their life and nothing ordinary can arouse their interest. Only the extreme adventures can make them feel they are still alive.To develop a good mind a student must learn how to cultivate and develop a taste for learning开发一个好的头脑必须学会如何培养和发展学生学习I agree with the writer that to develop a good mind the student must learn how to cultivate and develop a taste for learning. To have a good mind, one must be educated. One must have a strong desire to learn new things and learn the right things, something that have a transfer value. He must learn things that will empower him with the faith in the future, and to be creative and flexible.Those learning experiences that have high transfer value to varied life situations这些学习经验,有高价值转移到不同的生活I think fine arts and literature have high transfer value. They give people hope, inspiration, imagination and faith. they can be applied to every aspect of life. They have the power to let people believe in themselves and hope for the best for the future.
