2016年11月英語四級口語考前衝刺練習題
2016年下半年英語四六級口語考試時間為11月20日，大家的.口語備考得怎樣了呢?今天，小編就為大家找來一篇英語四級口語練習題，模型跟正式口語考試是相同的，大家抓緊時間複習吧!
Task1: Retelling a story
①A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty glass jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about two inches in diameter.
②He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open spaces between the rocks. The students laughed.
③He asked his students again if the jar was full. They agreed: yes, it professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the course, the sand filled up all the remaining space.
④“Now.” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this is your life.”The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed. The pebbles are the other things in life that matter, but on a smaller scale. The pebbles represent things like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff.
⑤If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, or material things, you will never have room for the things that are truly most important. Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. Talk with your parents. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. “Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand. They will take care of themselves.”
Task2: Talking on a given topic
Directions: Describe a lesson you have learned which has enriched your life experience.
Task3: Role-playing
