2012年公共英語三級口語必考話題(2)

 　　6. Tell me about what‘s the biggest traditional festival in your country. Definitely the Spring Festival. I suppose it’s somewhat like Christmas in western countries. Spring Festival is the only time when all families gather together and stores and business are closed for several days.
　　7. Can you describe one of the main festivals celebrated in your country? National Day， which is on October 1st， is a big holiday. We get three days off and there are a lot of fireworks displays. There are large flower pictures and other types of flowers decorating the city，and some of the larger cities hold parades.
　　8. How long have you lived in Beijing?
　　Almost 4 years now. I first came to Beijing in July 1996. It‘s kind of surprising that I’ve already lived here for 4 years. I wasn‘t planning to stay for a long time， but then I got a good job in a joint venture company.
　　9. How do you compare the climate in Beijing with that in your hometown?
　　It’s about the same， except that we get a lot more snow in my hometown than we get in Beijing. I suppose it has something to do with the geography of the two cities.
　　10. Which city， in your opinion， is the best city in China?
　　Beijing， because it‘s the capital of China and has a very rich culture. In addition， Beijing is more beautiful than many other cities， because it’s the showcase of China. A lot of money has been invested in Beijing and it is a very interesting place to visit.
