口语Part1范文：FAMILY

a) GENERAL
31. Could you tell me something about your family? ( 5 - 8 )
Certainly. My family is a typical Chinese one. It consists of my father, mymother and me. I am the only child. My grandparents passed away when I wasstill very young, so I did not have the privilege of knowing them. My fatherwas one of their four children, and my mother has a brother, so I have a numberof uncles and aunts and many cousins.
32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 5 - 6 )
That’s a tough question. I think we have to have the policy in China. Ourpopulation had been growing to rapidly and something drastic had to be done.Besides, the policy will give China a chance to move ahead in the world. What Imean to say is that as soon as the population growth has stabilized, China willbe able to make progress in the fight against unemployment.
32. What do you think of the One-Child Policy in China? ( 7 - 8 )
That’s a controversial question in China. In my opinion, the policy has bothmerits and shortcomings. The policy is one of the most effective tools to solvethe increasing problem of overpopulation in the country. On the other hand, theOne-Child Policy has been extremely harsh on the people. It violates basichuman rights. For example, it deprives women of their fertility rights.
33. Why do people in China traditionally want to have a son? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. I believe the most important reason lies infathers. They want their children to carry their name into the future. Onlysons can fulfill the task. For example, in many western countries it iscustomary for a boy to receive his grandfather’s name. A second reason that Icould mention is that parents worry about what will happen to them after theyretired. They feel that when they have a son he would be able to provide forthem in future.
34. Who does most of the shopping in your family? ( 5 - 8 )
As far as this topic is concerned, I would say that my mother does most of theshopping, but my father and I will do some shopping from time to time. Myparents allow me to buy my own clothes. The last thing I would like to mentionthat my mother does not like my father’s smoking habit and therefore refuses tobuy cigarettes, so that my father has to do that kind of shopping himself.
35. Who does most of the cooking in your family? ( 5 - 8 )
My mother does most of the cooking, but my father and I will do some cookingfrom time to time. For example, sometimes when my mother is out the whole daydoing voluntary work in our community and then my father and I will do thecooking for her. The second aspect I could tell you regarding this topic isthat we often eat out. For example, often on a Friday night none of us feellike cooking, and then we visit one of the local restaurants, and have ourfavorite dish.
36. How does your family feel about you going abroad? ( 5 - 8 )
They feel very happy about it and give me 100% support. I believe my parentswill be very proud if I may achieve a degree at a university abroad. Inaddition, they themselves never had the opportunity to study in foreigncountries. Since I am their only child, they would do anything in their powerto allow me to have the opportunity.
b) MARRIED PERSON
37. Are you married, and if so when did you get married? ( 5 - 8 )
Yes, I am married. I got married about three years ago. I have a good husband /wife, and we are very happy together. To put it in another way you could saythat we are best friends. We do not keep any secrets from one another. We hadknown each other for many years before we got married, so we did not have toadjust too much. For instance, I knew before marriage that he snores loudlywhen he turns onto his back when sleeping, but I didn’t mind.
38. Do you have any children? ( 5 - 8 )
No, I don’t have any children yet. We are planning to start with a family assoon as we have our own apartment. Until then my husband / wife and I areworking as hard as possible to improve our life. We would both like to have ason and a daughter, but because of the one-child policy that will not bepossible.

My wife is a housewife at the moment. We are looking for a job for her, but itis not easy, as she does not have any qualifications or experience. A newsupermarket will be opened in our area soon, and we hope that she will be ableto find a job there. She has placed her name on a waiting list, and we will behearing from the employment officer soon.

44. Is living together without getting married acceptable in China? ( 5 - 8)
These days the practice is becoming more and more acceptable to society. What Imean to say is that it all depends on the couple now. Young people feel thatthey first want to know each other even better by living together. When theyare absolutely sure that they are able to adapt to each other’s lifestyles,they would then most probably decide to get married.
45. Do you think couples should live with their parent or on their own? ( 5- 8 )
Definitely the latter. There are several reasons as for why I think couplesshould life on their own. Allow me to explain by mentioning some of thembriefly. First, I believe couples should become independent as soon aspossible. They should learn how to cope with the money at their disposal. Also,they should be alone as soon as possible. Generation gap can be the trigger formany quarrels between the young and old generations.
46. What responsibilities should a couple take? ( 5 - 8 )
There are several responsibilities that couples should take. In the first place,I believe they should be responsible for their own finances. Young couplesusually do not have a lot of money. They should try to find ways to make endsmeet. In the second place, they have to look after their child if they haveone. They have to feed the kid and ensure that he/she gets a good education.
c) CHILDREN
47. Are there any traditions around the birth of a baby in your region? ( 5- 8 )
Yes, there are quite a few. After the baby is born, the father will give hiswife some flowers, and take photographs of the baby and her. When the babyarrives at home, the parents will make prints of its hands and feet. Theprints, together with a paintbrush made by using some of the babies hair, willbe kept as souvenirs.

That’s a good question. I’d like to mention the following points in thisregard. First of all, I would love my child unconditionally. What I mean isthat I know my child is not perfect, but I will still love him/her even ifhe/she has made mistakes. Next, I would like to be a strict but fair parent. Iwill not give my child too many freedoms, but I will also try to understand andsatisfy his/her needs.
49. What hopes or fears do you have concerning your children? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. What makes I worry most is that my childrenwill have a very tough life. I wonder if they will have work to do sinceunemployment rate is so high even now. I hope that they will be happy. Theywill find a good spouse, have children and live together in peace and love,just like the ending of a fairy tale.
50. What type of culture do you want your child to grow up in? ( 5 - 8 )
That’s a broad question. I’d like to mention the following points: first andforemost, I would like my child to grow up in a culture of love. That is, thecircumstances in our home will be full of love and understanding. Furthermore,I hope my child will grow up in a culture where the finer things in life areimportant. Things like music, art, and studying should be part of his life fromthe beginning.
51. Are you going to bring your children up differently from the way youwere brought up? Why? ( 5 - 8 )
No, not really. I believe my parents raised me well and gave me a goodeducation. If I could do the same for my child I would be happy. Maybe I wouldbe a bit more modern. For example, I believe my parents were unreasonablystrict at times. I would try and keep a balance between discipline and freedom.
d) WOMAN
52. Is there any sex discrimination in China? ( 5 - 8 )
52. Describe the position of woman in China? ( 5 - 8 )
Sex discrimination against women can still be found in China though the countryhas tried very hard to eliminate it. One obvious example is that women who aredoing exactly the same job as men are getting smaller salaries. Moreover, womenare not considered for certain high level positions, say, in government. Inaddition, in many communities in China, women are still regarded as inferior tomen. This is particularly true in the rural areas. Last but not the least,parents prefer to have a boy as opposed to a girl. This is against the nature,as it will upset the balance between men and women in China in the years tocome.
53. What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 5 - 8 )
One of the main reasons regarding this topic that I would like to highlight isthe fact that men often determine the wages in the companies. Next, women arenot seen as able to do certain jobs as well as men. For instance, constructionwork has always been seen as a man’s job. Lastly, many men still have thetraditional idea that a woman should stay at home, raise the kids and serve herhusband.
53. What are the causes of sex discrimination? ( 7 - 8 )
That’s an interesting question. Allow me to explain myself by shortlymentioning the following points: Firstly, I believe that discrimination againstwoman have deep roots in societies all over the world. In other words, it isnot a present day phenomenon. Throughout history woman have not enjoyed thesame status as men. It is only recently that woman have been filling the samepositions as men in the work place. Lastly, I believe that it will take muchmore time to eradicate this practice. For example, as more and more womanbecome the sole breadwinners in families, they will have to be compensated assuch irrespective of their sex.
54. Should housewives be paid a salary by the government? Why? (5-8)
Yes, I believe housewives should be paid a salary by the government. Firstly,to be a housewife is a job just as any other, and one should be paid for whatyou are doing. Secondly, the more housewives there are, the better. Forexample, housewives can spend more time with their babies, and so lay thefoundation of healthy relationships.
