【口語】
以下爲本場考試部分新題解析：
Part 1
Paintings
What do you know about paintings?
參考答案：
I barely know anything. There are several kinds of paintings like oil painting and water colour painting, and that’s all I know.
Have you learned drawing before?
參考答案：
I used to draw some comics and sketches, but I’ve never learned drawing or painting in a systematical way. If I have a chance I’d love to learn it.
Is it important to hang pictures at home?
參考答案：
I think it’s quite personal. It depends on individuals whether to hang pictures or not and what pictures to hang. Pictures can serve as a good decoration, and famous pictures and paintings are precious collections.
What kind of paintings do you like?
參考答案：
To be specific, I like the paintings of Monet. Although I don’t know much about paintings, but Monnet’s works can always calm me down. I can feel the sense of beauty and tranquility from his paintings.
If someone wants to draw a picture of you, would you agree?
參考答案：
Yes, why not? It’s fun to see how I look like on canvas. And I would look very differently in different painting styles, that’d be interesting.
Part 2 & 3
Part 2題目
Describe an indoor or outdoor place where it was easy for you to study
You should say:
Where it is
When you go there
Who you go with
What you study there
Why you would study in this place.
提示：
本題要描述的是你覺得適合學習的一個地方（室內室外皆可）。話題很廣泛，可以是圖書館，也可以是一個安靜的咖啡廳，或者一個離家不遠的公園等等。可以先描述下這個地方是哪兒，在怎樣的時間你會去那兒，會和誰一起去，以及你會在那兒學些什麼。最後可以談一下感想，闡述下爲什麼覺得這個地方適合學習，它給了你怎樣的感受等等。
參考答案：
When it comes to talking about a place I’d like to study, I think it must be the library in my university. It is a huge building with 8 floors, which was completed nearly 10 years ago. As it is located in the center of my campus, no matter where you are, you can get there quite easily.
I go there very often, nearly on a daily basis. Whenever I don’t have a class, I prefer to go there in the evening, but sometimes also in the morning or the afternoon. It quite depends. What I study there also depends on the assignments that I have to work on. When I finished all of the tasks, I tend to randomly pick a book from the shelf and start reading.
I usually go to the library by myself, because I believe study is quite a personal thing. I don’t like to talk with others or share the feelings after reading a book. But before the final week, I would go there with my friends, because I need their help to do the review.
I think the library is a perfect place to study. Firstly, it is relatively quiet. People consciously keep their voice down and slow their pace. There is no one to interrupt me. Secondly, it has a unique atmosphere. With thousands of books around, I feel most comfortable around books and quietness. The library is just like my second habitat.
重點詞彙及表達：
①huge： 形容詞；巨大的，龐大的
Eg：With his huge body, he overbore his opponent under him dead.
②on a daily basis: 詞組；每天
Eg：I have to prepare for bad weather on a daily basis, so I wear biking clothes and change when I get to my destination.
③shelf: 名詞；架子，書架
Eg：He took a book from the shelf.
④habitat: 名詞；棲息地
Eg：So we keep putting them into zoos to protect them from poachers, as well as from habitat destruction.
Part 3題目
1. Do you like to learn on your own or with others?
參考答案：
I’d like to study on my own, because I believe study is quite a personal thing. I don’t like to talk with others or share the feelings after reading a book. But before the final week, I would go there with my friends, because I need their help to do the review.
重點詞彙及表達：
①on my own： 詞組；靠自己
Eg: I started this health challenge on my own, but quickly realized it would be more fun with friends,
②personal: 形容詞；個人的
Eg: You never allow personal problems to affect your performance.
2. Do you prefer to study at home or study in other places?
參考答案：
I prefer to study in the library, because it’s a perfect place for study. Firstly, it is very quiet. People consciously keep their voice down and slow their pace. There is no one to interrupt me. Secondly, it has a unique atmosphere. With thousands of books around, I feel most comfortable around books and quietness.
重點詞彙及表達：
①consciously： 副詞；自覺地
Eg: They do not consciously think of themselves as a class.
②interrupt: 動詞；打斷
Eg: Turkin tapped him on the shoulder. "Sorry to interrupt, Colonel."
3. What’s the difference between learning face-to-face with teachers and learning by yourself?
參考答案：
Comparing with learning face-to-face with teachers, independent learning is more student-driven. As a self-learner, they can simply focus on what they want to learn, and what skills they need to develop. However, face-to face study can provide the chance to communicate with teachers and get reasonable feedbacks from them.
重點詞彙及表達：
①face-to-face: 副詞；面對面地
Eg: She met the president face-to-face.
②reasonable: 形容詞；合理的
Eg: It’s a perfectly reasonable decision.
