【地方类】about places
1. Where do you like to go when you are with friends? And why? (06. 1.14; 06. 2.11考题)
Sample answer：
When I'm with friends, I like to go to the restaurant. We would head for some exotic (异国情调的，外国的)restaurant where we would choose our favorite dishes. And also, it should be one of the restaurants where the waitresses do not talk too much or disturb you. I would like to find a secluded(隐蔽的，角落里的) table just for 3 or 4, perhaps with a panoramic view(全景) over a river or the lights of the city. We would have some very mellow(醇香的), warming red wine in sparkling glasses twinkling in the candlelight, the hues(色调) and aroma(香味) filling our senses. We would eat slowly and carelessly for the joy of sharing and of being together. Our senses heightened, breathing deeply to the point of silent sighs, we would enjoy an endless evening there. That's the right place where I don't want to end our gathering.
1. Describe a public area that you visit frequently. Please state why you visit it frequently and include specific examples and details in your explanation. (06. 1.21; 06. 11.17考题)
Sample answer：
I usually go to Beihai Park when I have the time and opportunity. I can go for a stroll in the park to relax. The park has some trees, and interesting and winding paths, where I can wander listlessly and contemplate my own thoughts or admire the various stages of nature. Sometimes I just like to feel the breeze on my face and savour(尽情享受) its coolness. It gives me a sense of freedom. It also has a lake on which I can go boating. I often go to the park with my friends on weekends. And we'll have a picnic if we stay there for the whole day.
1. Describe a school you’ve ever attended. (06. 9.23考题)
Sample answer：
The school I'd like to talk about is Beijing New Oriental School where I took my TOEFL course.
What I like about the school is that I can meet almost the best teachers in the country. They are so talented, eloquent(有口才的), knowledgeable and humorous that I don't feel any bored in class. A 2.5 -hour class passes very quickly. One more good thing about the school is that I can meet people from different parts of the country and make friends with them. We have a lot in common, sharing the same passion, the same stage, even the same learning difficulties which we encounter(遇到) and then discuss and finally work out together. Living on campus offers us much time to communicate and to share experiences.
Actually there's a lot to say about my school, but the points above are what I mainly want to cover.
