对于口语，我最大的感觉就是口语考的决不是“口语”
你不能跟平常说话那样随便，要避免低级的词汇，尽量使用较复杂的句型来显示你的语言运用能力

在一个就是思维，西方人的思维方式实在是于东方人差距很大，比如下面这道题：

说说最喜欢的一个room，自己家的或者是其他地方的
One of the important room in my life is my mother’s kitchen. I love everything about food and I know that passion comes from the hundreds of hours I spent in my mother’s kitchen when I was growing up. As a kid, the kitchen was always always just the best place to be: It was warm, busy and full of smells. But the best of all, my mother. For as long a I rembmer, my mother has been a great cook. She taught me how cook and sometimes I even gave her my opinions. Now, enen if in some fancy reastaurant, nothing will compete to my mother’s kitchen.

这道题一开始我自己做的时候，我说的是living room，理由也比较俗烂，比如什么安静阿，个人空间啊，等等
但同一道题，外国人就不是这么说的，上面这个答案我是参照的kapln的回答，大家仔细看一下
一：选择的这个room比较特别，厨房
二：内容别出心裁，他为什么最喜欢厨房，因为他的母亲和他在厨房里度过了一段特别美好的时光，思想立马提升了一个高度
当我看到这个回答时特灰心丧气，语言说得不如人家，连内容也不行 sigh~~
所以我建议大家在说的时候，尽量跳出一个固定的思维模式，别出心裁些，比如幽默点，感人些...
在有限的45s内尽量将你的responds浓缩成一个short speech

Describe a place you have never been to but like to go someday.
I have never been to a seashore town which I think would be a beautiful place in the world. People say that the sky in there is blue and always full of sunshine. I can imagine how romatic it can ever be. I can lay on the beach and enjoy the charming ocean view when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.
Moreover, I could taste the best seafood in the restaurants beside the sea, like lobsters and crabs.

Do you agree that childhood is the happiest (or precious) time in life
I strongly agree that childhood is the happiest time in my life. Fristly, when I was a kid, I had little presure as I have now. For example, I seldom worried about my study and future. And, I had no financial problem. Secondly, I owned more time when I was a little girl so I could do whatever I really interested in, like reading science fictions and doing some sports which I have no time to do now.

features of cafe or restaurant you like
I prefer enjoying my food in a quite place wherever in a restaurant or cafe. Fristly, quite place is good for my appetite and I could take my time when I have food while I would finish my meals hastily if I am in a noisy cafe or reataurant. Secondly, I would like to go to those places with my good friends. So, we need a quite place to talk or the conversation among us would just like shouting to each other

Keep or not the old building in the city
The discussion that the old buildings should be kept or not depends on their conditions. Most of the old buildings are representatives of people’s living history and civilization. I think each old building has its own story. An old building could be the witness of a dynasty exchange, family history or even a romantic love story. So we should preserve them for our offspring. However, there are still some old buildings which have less value and could be tore down for the present city development.

有的人旅游时喜欢直奔目的地，有的人喜欢兼顾游览沿途景观，你prefer
I prefer going to traveling destination directly. Fristly, I would like to stay at one place for a period of time so that I could take my time to understand the history ,culture and the peole where I visited. Secondly, if people go to too many different places while they are on journey, this would distract their concentrations. Moreover, it will make people tired. As a result, people could not enjoy the place as they planned, just really in a hurry.

一个人在团队工作中最重要的quality
I think the most important quality of a person in a team is cooperation spirit. Frist of all, people who don' t have this spirit would not understand sharing their minds with other people and could not benifit from others' opinions.,which leads the group members have no idea about each other. Secondly, a team will be more competitive and strong until everyone in the term works together and shares with each other. Peole say that: unity is strength.

喜欢看电视了解新闻还是读报纸或上网
I perfer getting information by reading newspaper. Frist of all, I could take a piece of newspaper along with me wherever I go. Whenever I'm free, I can read the newspaper to kill time or for fun. Secondly, I find it difficult for me to stare at the screen of a televsion or a computer LCD for a long time. Because my eyes would feel uncomfortable. Moreover, I could choose the news I'm interested when I read the newspaper, but the television just play all the time no matter I like it or not.

在这一百年之内有很多发明,说一个你觉得对你生活改变最大的
The invention changed my life most through the time is internet. Frist of all, when internet was invented, people could find all kinds of information through it, like news, music, books or ads. It is convenient as long as people own computers. Secondly, communication among people becomes more frequently. We could chat with our family and friends, even a stranger on the internet wheven they are on the line instead the long waiting of a letter or the expencive of a teliphone.

有些人觉得在大学的学习是很重要的,有的人觉得它并不怎么重要,你的观点?
I think the study in the university is very important for a student. Frist of all, the knowledge we learned in the university could effect our further development. Someone maybe want to get a Master or PHD degree while others would explore their own career. Secondly, cotrast to the knowledge, the more important thing is the ability to learn by ourselves. We should have this ability in case of we could not find a teacher.

describe a poem or a letter you wrote
I have written a letter to my mother which was a homework from my teacher. In the beginning, I don't want to write the letter because I had quarreled with my mother the day before. However, after I returened home, I found my mother had already prepared the dinner for me and I felt so guilt about my thought. So I wrote the letter as soon as possible when I finished my dinner. In the letter, I told my mother how I love her and how moved by her patience and forgiveness.

life is easier or harder than ur grandparents’

I strongly agree that our life is much better than that of my grandparents’. Frist of all, most of people do not worry about if there would be not enough food to eat, which is a big problem in those days. Supermarkets and shopping malls meet the need of our daily life. Secondly, living condition has greatly improved now compared to the older generation’s. Children have their own room and some of people even have big yards.

choose profession that need you study independently or profession require you to work as a group

I prefer choosing a profession that requires me to work as a group. Frist of all, I believe that I could not finish all the work on my own even though I don’t doubt my personal ability. So I need partners and co-workers to help me to do some work together. Secondly, unity is strength, that is to say, a team has more power than the individual. Group members cooperation with each other and make the team filled with competence
