Historical event
• I was born and raised in Beijing, such a metropolis
is rich in history. But I don’t wanna talk about
something happened about hundreds years ago. I
want to say an event which happened over half a
decade ago
• As we know, Olympic Games was a fiesta of all
world people. Thought out history, people unarmed
their weapons and became a big family during this
period. So does Beijing Olympics.
• In addition, if my memory serves, we won 51 gold
medals in that game, which was ranked first. What
is more, my favorite player, “flash Bolt”, who can
run 100 metres in 9.69 secs. That’s surprised all of
us.
Object (4 of 5)
• What do you think is the most important advancement over
the past 20 years in your country? (computer, transportation,
food safety)
• Many schools do not allow students to take their laptop
computers into the classroom. What do you think are the
advantages and disadvantages of having laptop computers in
the classroom?
• Describe a change of the society. (see above food safety, online shopping)
• Agree or disagree: teachers should encourage students to
use computers from elementary school? (see above)
• The most important lessons cannot be learned in classrooms.
Food safety
• I have to say, the city’s living condition
advanced than several decades ago.
Here are the reasons
• Milk powder, poisonous chicken(白羽鸡),
industrial chemical materials (tonyred),
drainage oil, all sorts of food additives
threat our health in the past. But we can
seldom eat these kinds of food nowadays.
In the year of 2008, a scandal regarding
the milk powder was sweeping the every
corner of China. Thousands of babies
suffered from its affects. But now, only a
few of them suffered…

Object (5 of 5)
• Some people prefer to live in historical and old houses
while others prefer to live in new and modern
buildings, which one do you prefer?
• Agree or disagree: the success of a school depends
on the quantity of its book resources.
• Describe a piece of news or a story that you’re
interested in recently. (My friend told me computer
could help me make friends)
• Are you willing to carefully choose the gift that your
friends like or choose whatever you like?
Old or new buildings
• New building
1. Good quality
2. Related facilities
3. No pests
• Old building
1. Good location
2. Unique style
3. Cheap
4. Good ventilation (朝向)
Old or new buildings
• I prefer to live in an old building.
• My favorite old building is Queenslander. The wooden cabin off the
ground can be seen as both a stylistic and practical device. The
vertical “stumps(树桩)", initially of timber, allow the building to "float"
above the terrain. It can also for protection of the main structure from
termite attack and other pests.
• Another reason is that living in such a old building can remind us
history. Like Queenslander, it’s rich in history, and this is particularly
built in the First World War.
School’s success depends on books

News/story(recently)
• 如果轮奸不叫轮奸，叫轮流发生性关系，
那么

• 赌博也不叫赌博，叫有奖励性娱乐；
• 受贿不叫受贿，叫替代他人享用财物；
• 诈骗不叫诈骗，叫教育他人提高智商；

News/story(recently)
• Perhaps the news usually on tips of our tongue nowadays is a
teenager and his gangsters gang raped a young woman. He has
been detained on suspicion of participating in a gang rape in Beijing.
• Police in Beijing's Haidian District said the rape victim told them that
she was drinking with five people in a bar last Sunday. The men
took her to a room, beat her and gang-raped her.
• But the point here is that, coz he is the son of a renowned Chinese
military singer. His mother wants to debate for innocence. And the
lawyer alter the name of ‘gang rape’ should be called ‘have a sex
relationship with the girl in turn’ .
