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 city 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‘an， 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 degrees 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 city，and 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. 12. Let‘s talk a little about traveling and transport.

For a long trip， how do you prefer to travel In my country， if it is a long trip， I would prefer to take a train ride. Not only is train ride more economical， but also the time and route have shortened tremendously in the past few years. Air travel is more expensive and they are often beyond my budget.

13. Let’s talk about your hometown or village. What kind of place is it My hometown is in the outskirts of Beijing. Maybe one hour travel time to get to Beijing. Fairly close I would say. The people there are mostly farmers but many young people have gone to Beijing to work. I like the place because it is very quiet. Unlike the people in big cities who are more complicated， the people of the place where I come from are usually more down to earth.

14. Why do you think trains are better than buses

Trains are better because they don‘t encounter any traffic， whereas sometimes in the bus， we get stuck in the traffic. Also， it is always difficult to get on the buses during the peak hour but with the train， you can bet that the chances of getting on are always greater during the peak hour.

15. What kind of parent do you intend to be

I want to have a good relationship with my child. I have seen so many kids who don’t really know their own parents， and I don‘t want to end up like that. I do plan to be strict， but loving. I want my child to always feel comfortable to approach me， whether they’ve been good or bad. It‘s pretty easy to tell you what kind of parent I want to be， but when I actually become a parent， I’m sure I‘ll have to revise my ideals a bit. 16. How different is your life from the lives of your parents

It‘s very different. I have had many more opportunities and a much more comfortable life than they had. I remember my father telling me stories about having just one egg to eat each week， and that was the highlight of his week. I can’t really imagine life like that， so I‘m grateful that I have a better life than my parents did. I appreciate their hard work to get us to this point in our lives. 17. Who does most of the shopping in your family

Well， I do most of the grocery shopping because there’s a market very close to my work. It‘s very convenient for me to pick up milk or eggs or what ever on my way home from work. But， my wife also enjoys shopping very much. She usually does a lot of the clothes shopping for my son and me. 18. Are you a good cook

a. Yes. I learned everything from my mother who was really famous in our hometown for her cooking. I suppose she learned how to cook from her mother as well. I think that’s how I won my husband‘s heart， by being such a good cook. He really appreciates good food， and I enjoy cooking for him.

b. No. I’m a terrible cook. No one has ever taught me how to cook. I barely know how to boil an egg. Well， I do know how to make instant noodles， but it‘s just a matter of pouring boiling water on them and waiting for some time. I don’t like cooking either， but I do like eating. I suppose I‘ll have to marry someone who is a good cook.

19. Do you have a lot of friends

It depends on what you mean by “a lot”。。. I do have one or two very close friends， which is all that I need. I don’t have any trouble making friends， and I do have many good friends and acquaintances. But， really I feel most close to just one or two friends. 20. Why did you choose software development as your major

Because I‘d always enjoyed working with computers and I was always good at math and logic. I was fortunate to have a computer in my home when I was in high school， and I spent quite a lot of time just playing around on the computer. My parents bought me all sorts of books on computer programming，and I just started to read them and pick up the ideas in them.

21. When and where did you graduate What qualifications have you obtained

I graduated in 1995 from Beijing Science and Technology University. I have a Bachelor‘s degree in Civil Engineering， and I’m a licensed Professional Engineer in China. 22. Which university is the best one in your country

Qinghua University is probably the best， although there are also others which are considered to be top notch. Still， Qinghua has the best international reputation， so I think most people would say it‘s the best. 23. How are you as a student

I am a very organized and highly motivated student. I study very hard， and like to constantly review my lecture notes and textbooks. After each class， I re-read all my notes and refer to them in the textbook. When I encounter something I’m not sure of， I make a point of finding the professor and asking him or her for further explanation. Also， I have a very good memory. Once I learn something， I remember it for a very long time. 24. Is there anything you don‘t like about your studies

Generally I like my studies but I hate the examination system. There are too many examinations during my school years and most of the time we have to memorize lots of things in books. I’m not very good at that and I find it‘s a waste of time and energy. Other than that， I quite enjoy my school time. 25. What do you do for a living

I’m an engineer. But my day-to-day work involves quite a lot of management. In fact，I‘m in charge of the Beijing branch of Motorola， and have a dozen or so engineers working under me to handle the technical part of the work.. 26. What is your job What does your job involve

I‘m a sales manager. I’m in charge of overseeing sales operations for all of northern China，including Beijing. I have about 40 employees under me who are regional sales representatives.

27. How do you like your job

I enjoy it very much. It does have its ups and downs， but really it‘s quite a good job. I enjoy the people I work with too， which really can make or break a job. We work very well together and can trust each other to do our fair share. 28. What made you decide to get into this field

I didn’t really plan to be a teacher at first， but my parents encouraged me to go into teaching. At first I really disliked it immensely. I lacked confidence and felt very insecure standing in front of a room full of students. Somehow， I made it through the first term， and managed a bit better the second. After that， I felt that I had made an
