17、 to travel by train?Yes, I quite like them. If you are on a train you can relax and look out the window, read, use your lap top - its all quite comfortable. On the bus its more difficult to do those things because there is less space and the movement can make you travel sick too. The only problem wi
18、th trains in my country is that they are often delayed or late. That can ruin your journey.（这儿描述的有的英国背景的味道，英国的火车全是中国高铁的标准，甚至更高，我从未见过拥挤的场面，当然你描述中国的铁路交通可以说 overcrowded，这儿火车的 delayed or late 可以联系到 punctuality 哦 ）Punctured tires（联想到一个短语，车开搬到胎被扎破了，所以我迟到了）I am late because of the punctured tires.Where do

23、s unforgettable）TimeAre you good at managing your time?Actually Id have to say Im not so good at it! I dont really have a system in place to organize things. I know some people have an electronic organizer or use some device to plan what they are doing but I dont do that. But I always make sure I am
24、 on time for appointments and things like that, and I meet deadlines and get things done.How do you manage your time?As I said, I dont have any specific system in place to manage my time. For example, if I am at work and I have a lot of cases, I just go through them each day and decide which I need

At work we do have an online diary which I guess I use, so in that sense I do manage my time to an extent.(这种话可以用在，我说着说着发现和“初衷”背道而驰了，我不擅长 manage time其实我也有一些策略的，so in that sense I do manage my time to an extent.)When is it most important for you to manage your time?I think it is prob

When out of work, its not really going to affect things too much, or at least only yourself, if you are late to meet friends or for an appointment, or if you are getting things done in your house.

27、 because you could miss deadlines or miss appointments. You could lose your job. So at work is when it is most important to manage your time.(学习也是一个道理，effectively，deadline of the assignment， get low marks even fail in an exam。 。 。 。 。 。 ）(其实 managing time 是可以扯到 leisure time 的It is quite important fo

29、ke to read biographies. Im not sure why but it is interesting to read about peoples real lives, especially when they have had interesting lives and have had to deal with many problems. I do read fiction as well, but I often find it difficult to get hold of a book that I really like. I also like read
30、ing about books to do with current affairs.（novel，fiction，scientific fiction，horrible fiction，Harry Potter，Pride & Prejudice.）Do you read the same kind of books now that you read when you were a child?Not really, no. Actually I didnt read that much when I was a child, but if I did it was mainly fict
31、ion books, such as fairy tales. Things like The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Fantasy things.When do you think is the best time to read?I think any time is ok, but when I read I like to concentrate, so I cant read for a short time like on a bus ride like some people do.

I live in a small town so I
33、dont think there are any, though we do have a few museums and other cultural institutions. In our capital city there are quite a few art galleries, however.（what is the differences between art gallery and museum）Didyou like to go to art galleries when you were a child?Ive never been that interested
34、in art to be honest, so not really. We were taken to one as part of a trip when I was at school. It has a lot of paintings from famous artists from our country. It was quite interesting to see I guess but Ive not been to any since.Should people have to pay to go to art galleries?I think it depends r
35、eally. If possible they should be free because if people do have to pay they are less likely to go and see it. But on the other hand these things cost money so a small fee may be necessary if it can keep the art gallery going and keep it open. Ideally though the government should pay for this as I b
36、elieve this kind of thing is paid for by our taxes.口语考题中出现过关于 tax 的题怎么回答呢？联想到 art galleries，联想到 public gardens and parks 的 financial support，是不是就有眉目了呢？SwimmingCan you swim?Yes I can. I learnt at school when I was about 7 years old. Swimming lessons were compulsory at our school, like most schools I
37、think.Are there many places to swim near you?Yes, there are a few public swimming pools. There is the main indoor one at a big sports complexin the center of town. There are also a couple of outdoor ones, but you can only use them in summer as it is too cold in winter. One is a big one in a park， th
38、e other is a much smaller one.Do you think everyone should learn to swim?Of course, I think its very important. Firstly, you spend much of your life on holiday by water, for example, when you go to the beach on holiday, so you wont be able to enjoy yourself with your friends if you cant swim. Also,
39、for safety reasons its very important. You often hear about sad accidents involving young children so its very important.Im going to talk about a present that I gave to someone.The person that I gave it to was a very good friend of mine at the time. His name was *and he came from *. I knew him becau
40、se we studied together at a language school in *. Although we were from different backgrounds and cultures, we got on really well and we had the same sense of humor so we became very good friends.The present was a picture that had been painted of the River Cam in Cambridge. It was not so big - maybe
41、 around 10 inches by 14 inches, but it was very beautiful. It came in a gold plated frame and the picture had been drawn by a particularly well-known Cambridge artist. It had been signed by this person as well.Its the first time I have given this person a present, and I guess its quite different fro
42、m presents that I have given to other people before I dont recall ever giving someone a picture actually. If Im buying for family then Ill usually buy clothes or maybe some jewelry if it is a special occasion. Normally when Ive bought something for friends its something more jokey so we can have a l
43、augh about it, nothing that serious.The reason why I decided to give this particular gift is because we had spent a lot of time together in Cambridge and we had had some really fun times punting on the River Cam thats obviously why I thought this was an appropriate present. We used to go punting at
44、least once a week, sometimes a couple of times. On one occasion there was a group of about ten of us that went down there, and we spent the whole day sitting by the river in the sun and as usual we went on a boat trip together. We all have a lot of photos to remind us of this great day.So my friend,
45、* is the person that I gave a present to and this was because I felt it would always remind him of the fun times that we had and also of Cambridge.Ok, Id like to tell you about an old person that I know.His name is John, and he is the owner of a small convenience store at the end of my street.I woul
46、d say that my relationship with him is as a friend. I know him because I regularly go to the shop in order to buy things when I dont have time to go to a supermarket. Hes quite friendly and I always have a chat with him. Ive known him now for about five years - since Ive lived in the area in fact. T
47、hats why Id now call him a friend.Id say that I see him fairly regularly. Like I said, I go to the big supermarket out of town sometimes to stock up, but you always need odd things during the week such as milk, or some snack or other. So when this happens I just have a walk down to his shop. So Id s
48、ay I see him every one or two days.I think John is pretty popular as hes been there for years as far as Im aware, so most of the locals around the area know him. There will always be someone in the shop having a chat with him. They like him because hes not just the shopkeeper but hes also very invol
49、ved in activities in the community. For example, I know he helps out at the old peoples home some nights, and he runs the quizzes at the local pub. He also helps to organize the fete that is held each year in the town.The reason that I like him is that hes great to have a chat with. For instance, a while back I was having problems with my work, and I was really feeling stressed. I didnt really have anyone to talk to at the time as my family is abroad and a couple of my good friends w
