1、英语口语话题讨论英语口语期末考试 话题讨论TOPIC1:Which is more important for a college student, specialized knowledge or a wide range of learning.A1: It is universally acknowledged that our world is developing rapidly, and an unique skill for a person is indispensible. With a well specialized knowledge in a certain fiel
2、d, there is an army of graduates who have found a pleasant job, get promoted, or initiated ones own career successfully. Among millions of undergraduates who are now enjoying and have so far benefited tremendously from specialized university studies, We are inclined to the notion that the specialize
3、d knowledge is far more important than a wide range of learning.B1: First, I admit that your statement to the issue is very wonderful. Have you ever notice the fact that obtaining all sorts of knowledge on a wide range of subjects guarantees ones job opportunity in such a competitive world, many lar
4、ge corporations prefer a person with a wide range of knowledge. The wider the range of knowledge you have, the more angles you can receive to view the world , and surely the better prospective you will have. So were convinced that equipped with a wide range A2: To your statement we just have to disa
5、pprove. As we all know, a decent salary and a high-ranking position wouldnt be offered to one who were in lack of proficiency on the subject which requires extremely specialized skills related to his job. In a specific field, only when we are enabled to have specialized knowledge can we achieve our
6、ultimate goals. For example, doctors should be professional if they want to make an operation successfully. The pilot should also know explicitly how to control the plane when a safelanding is required. B2: In my opinion, you just misunderstood our views. We mean a wide range is much more important
7、than the specialized one, and we havent denied the significance of specialized knowledge. A1: As you said, you havent denied the importance of specialized knowledge. We have reasons to doubt whether you have the suspicion to support our opinions. Even if what you said is true, first, how can you con
8、vince us the fact that the diverse works in the world are divided into so many sorts, instead of one or two universal ones. And second, have you ever heard the fact that Bill Gates started his Microsoft relying on a wide range of knowledge without specialized knowledge in computer programming?B1: Su
9、rely, we are stick close to our standpoint. What we stressed on is the key words “more important”. We maintained, It is a noteworthy fact that a high percentage of people are not working in their majors, which indicates that they devote themselves to some field that they were not specialized in. Mea
10、nwhile, it is not very likely for one to find a perfectly suitable work while beginning to search for jobs. If one has acquired diverse knowledge in university, he can easily find a position where he may apply what he has learned.A2: Well, we are firmly convinced that the fact is not as what youve j
11、ust confessed. Whether we can well adapt to the world is not depend on how wide the range of knowledge youve aquired is, but the degree of the knowledge youve handled. 4 b% 0 I8 W2 W6 c4 Rstudents who specialize in one field can be more professional than those who receive comprehensive education whe
12、n they graduate and those well-trained experts might be more welcomed by the society. So its “its better to master one than engage ten”.B2: We thought we should debate according to the fact. The main reason why I put forward the idea is that taking classes in different subjects can guarantee student
13、s absorbing basic knowledge. A good example in this point is Harvard University, which divides the courses into seven areas, including foreign cultures, historical studies, literature and arts, moral reasoning, quantitative reasoning, science and social analysis. Each undergraduate must take some cl
14、asses in every area to get credit. As the most renowned university in the world, Harvard, through this means, ensures that each student has certain basic knowledge in an aspect, which will be a powerful strength while competing with others. In this case, the importance of a wide range of knowledge i
15、s self-evident. In summary, the question ,which one is better between these two kinds of knowlege,c an not be answered in a nutshell. Defferent students like defferent patterns , and both of them are indispensable to our society. 0 a7 R# v% |$ TOPIC2:Are copyright protection laws good or bad for poo
16、r countries?A1. Im sure the copyright protection laws is good for poor countires, because the laws show the respect for invention and inventor . As a result these laws provide a good environment for the development of science and technology. And this is most important to a country,Especially to a po
17、or country. B1. I take your opinion but I think its hard for poor countries to develop quickly by themselves, that means they have to sue the advanced results in science and technology from other countries., they turn to themselves, so the copyright protection laws are unnecessary and be bad for the
18、se poor countries.A2. Well, maybe you are right mostly, but youve ignored sth if a country just develop itself by stealing science and technology from others, they will lose the ability of creativity. How can they do further development.B2: I agree in principle but just as you said , you ignored som
19、ething important. For poor countries their foundation is poor. They must learn from developed counties, but the copyright protection laws is an obstruction obviously.A1: Personally, I wouldnt go as far as that. You wouldnt learn something except for you do it by yourself. The copyright protection la
20、ws just make the poor countries learn by themselves.B1:Well well. Just as what you just said. The poor countries must get something to learn from. If the copyright protection laws are used widely, theyll pay more money for the copyright. One the key is they are poor. They cant afford it.A2. In spite
21、 of what you said. I think the copyright protection laws bring more advantages than disadvantages for poor countries. They inspire the poor countries to the research and development of scientific and technological.B2: Well both of us have enough reasons to our opinion of this question. Its hard to s
22、ay who are right. Whether the copyright protection laws is good or bad for poor countries just depends on the characteristics of these countries.TOPIC3: The Internet does more harm than good to students.A1: Good afternoon. Im presenting the side that Internet does more good than harm to students. I
23、hold the view that the internet has enabled people to communicate with others all over the world. People can actually create a large number of friends via the web. The web is very good at putting people together with similar interests. And also we can keep in touch with our family members, friends,
24、teachers and colleagues by email, forums, club like XIAONEI and company website. Due to the internet we can get connected to each other and every place easily.B1: Thank you for your excellent argument. However, if students depend too much on internet communication, soon they will stop telephoning ea
25、ch other and just QQ or MSN or XIAONEI chat to make friends and talking. They will be afraid to talk to people in real world once they are accustomed to virtual communication. So I consider that Internet impairs students communication skills. They might be totally different online and offline, becau
26、se internet makes them feel more relaxed and they can pretend themselves whoever they want. When they take off this fake coat, they will feel uncomfortable and no desire to communicate with strangers in reality.A2: Well, I see your point clearly. No offense, but I wonder whether this could happen if
27、 there is a good supervise system. And, students nowadays are getting more and more extrovert. Internet is just offering them a stage to show themselves instead of pushing them away from the real world. And Im convinced that we can get the information of anything in a few seconds. News is instantly
28、available at the touch of a button. We can get informed of current affairs via major newspapers online. Meanwhile, its useful for research. People can use encyclopedia such as WIKI, YAHOO to broaden their horizon. The curriculum that has been offered online can help students a lot. They can gain fro
29、m others knowledge and experiences, participate in chat rooms, share ideas and solutions and learn about the many diverse cultures out there. B2: While I admit there is considerable information students can obtain online, however, due to this explosion of information, students can hardly distinguish
30、 the good ones and the bad ones. So I hold the view that the Internet, on the dark side, contains many harmful materials especially like propaganda, violence and untruths. There are thousands of pornographic sites on internet that can be easily found and can be detriment to letting children use the
31、internet. Students, without guidance of adults, can easily be contaminated by such information and get addicted to it. Thus will influence their study and whats worse, lead them to violence and propaganda. This is the most serious problem Internet has brought to teenagers.A1: I take your point but I
32、 think students can have a clear definition of Cans and Cants. Although they do it, with good guidance, they can regard it correctly. Internet has brought them more than that, I consider that Internet also enhances entertainment and makes it relatively free. Music, pictures and video can all be shar
33、ed via the Internet. We can download movies and video clips online without bothered to go out. Games are available, so there is an alternative for students to relax themselves. B1: What you argued is reasonable, but students can easily indulge themselves in Internet games and other recreations and abandon the
