Li Hua

【答案】Dear Mom and Dad,

Since I entered senior high school, I've sensed some changes at home. For one thing, whenever I try to help you with some housework, you'll ask me to go back to my study, saying that my study is the most important thing for me. For another, you dare not make any noise at home, fearing it would make me unhappy and unable to put my heart into my study.

I know how you feel, but I don't expect our family life goes this way. To begin with, I hope to see our family filled with laughter, which can certainly provide a nice environment for me. Besides, doing some housework can help me get away from my study for a short time.

Yours

Li Hua

【题目】The ninth week of SEAL(Sea, Air, Land) training is referred to as Hell Week. It is six days of no sleep, physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼）where you will sink into the mud.

It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours trying to survive the freezing-cold mud, the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.

As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken some of the rules, was ordered into the mud. We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up—just five men and we could get out of the cold.

Looking around the mud flat, it was clear that some of us were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up--eight more hours of coldness. Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to fly through the night--one voice raised in song.

The song sounded terrible, but it was sung with great power. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing.

We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well. The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on and on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.

If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. The power can change the world by giving people hope.

So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.

【1】What did the writer experience during Hell Week?

A. He suffered sleeplessness for one day.

B. He was physically and mentally crazy.

C. He went through some hard tests.

D. He sank into the mud for the week.

【2】Why did the class have the experience at the Mud Flat?

A. Because it was one of the training courses.

B. Because the weather was terribly bad.

C. Because the instructors were strict with them.

D. Because they wanted to break the rules.

【3】What did the class do when they were in the mud?

A. Five of them gave up.

B. They cried all the time.

C. Someone sang from the beginning.

D. Everybody joined in the singing.

【4】What is probably the author’s job?

A. A terrorist.

B. A soldier.

C. An instructor.

D. A trainer.

【5】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Singing helps change the world.

B. Singing solves problems in life.

C. People should help each other.

D. Hope helps pull through difficulties.

【题目】Common public speaking problems

The use of “I feel”, “I think” and “maybe”

In the question-and –answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”, “I hear”, “maybe” and “perhaps”. These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view. 【1】

Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence. Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.

【2】

Don’t stick to the same tone. It can be boring. Try to mix it up. For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles tighter. 【3】, rather than just sticking with the same one.

Irresponsible answers

【4】. you’re responsible for your words. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don’t want to sound foolish. So you should think twice before you talk. Don’t be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy(盗版), started by saying he supported it.

Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it

You should focus on one point and give a clear solution. 【5】. is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?

Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion. Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.

A. Try mixing more than one style.

B. Improving your communication skill.

C. Using only one speaking style

D. It’s important to involve your audience.

E. Public speaking is different from personal conversations.

F. The key is to work out what question is being asked

G. To the judges and audience, this lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable.
