口语预测　　1.Describe a time when you did something that you had never done before and explain what happened. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.

　　Well, I would like to talk about my first vacation on a beach with the whole family. I still remember that the scenery there was so different from that of my city, we drunk some coconut while appreciating the beautiful scenery along the seashore, like the banana trees and palm trees and stuff. We tried out the sea food like salmon, tuna and even some lobsters, it was from that time that I fell in love with seafood. Apart from that, the most exciting stuff I did when visiting this nice and beautiful city was sea and water activities like snorkeling, wakeboarding and even jet skiing with my dad. Even though I remembered that I got a little sun, it was well worth it.

　　2.Some people like travel alone. Others prefer to travel with their family. Which do you prefer and why? Please include reasons and details in your response.

　　I would say I like to travel with my families. It is a great way for me to connect with my family members. To be more specific, we have shared responsibilities in this process, I can book the hotel and my brother can check out the flight information. In this process, sometimes we have to accommodate to others' preference and interest and make concession for others. Additionally, spending some quality time with families is a big part of one's life. Research shows that those who have strong connections with their families can be more productive in a working environment.

　　3.Some people prefer to write many short assignments for a semester, other prefer to write one or two long assignments for a semester. Which do you prefer? Explain why.

　　Personally, I prefer to write several short assignments instead of one or two long assignments. To begin with, I don't want to be overly stressed out when the big assignments are about to be due, long assignments are likely to be tough to deal with, actually, as the saying goes, "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket", by writing short assignments, I can spread the risk, also I will not be worn out, since short assignments are much easier to deal with. By doing assignment this way, I can avoid serious time conflict when other big projects are due at the same time together with the big assignments.

　　4.Which of the following do you think is the most difficult and challenging for university students? Being far away from families, finding time to relax or making new friends.

　　Personally speaking, the most challenging task for university students would be making new friends. Firstly, it is not easy to make friends with people from different provinces. China is a fairly large country. People are different due to the unique culture and customs in different provinces. Students might find it difficult to understand each other. Secondly, most of Chinese students have already been used to being away from their families. High school students usually go to boarding schools. They could only meet their parents once a week or even once a month. Last but not least, academic life in China is not busy at all. It is commonly reported that numerous college students in China would indulge themselves in playing computers games all the time.

　　5.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, school should require all students to have their own laptops. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

　　Personally, I think students should be required to own laptops. To begin with, students might need to write papers, and they can find reference on the internet easily, cuz they can just type the key words in the search engine, and the next moment they know, the answer shows up on the screen, and they basically can find reference on every topic, like technology, history, and even psychology. Also, they need to use lots of software to finish some assignments and projects, so the use of computer is inevitable. For example, I am an economics major, and I need to use statistical software to analyze data, obviously, I cannot do that without the computer.
