大千世界,人有百態。對話方式,對話內容都會因人的改變而改變。下面是小編給大家整理的,供大家參閱!
:social problems
A: is there a lot of crime in your city?
B: there’s some, but I don’t think it’s a big problem. A lot of it is petty crime, burglary and car theft. There’s very little major crime.
A: it’s the same in my city. We also have a lot of drug addicts. A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs.
B; that happens in many places. In my city, there is a very good drug rehabilitation programme. The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes, but I don’t know if that’s the reason for our relatively low crime rate.
A; some people believe that a tough approach is better. Other prefer a more lenient approach.
B; I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly. If most people have similar amounts of money, they will not think of stealing from others.
A; that’s possible, but I’m not sure it would really happen like that .
Intermediate
A: which social problem do you think the government needs to concentrate on most?
B; I think housing is a big problem. There are thousands of homeless people on the streets.
A: how would you solve the problem?
B: I have a good idea to solve it. The government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes.
A; it would probably be very expensive.
B; I think the government can afford it. Besides, there are many advantages. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address. They would learn some useful skill for finding jobs in the construction industry or home improvement.
A; it’s not a bad idea. I think education is the biggest problem at the moment. Schools don’t seem to have enough money to educate kids properly.
B; if we are to invest more money to education, we will need to raise taxes. That wouldn’t be popular with voters.
A: most voters what everything bout ways. They want the government to pay for lots of things, but without increasing taxes.
B: the government should show that it is using money efficiently. Sometimes you hear about how the government has wasted money on a project.
A: yes. The government has limited funds and must show that it is using the money responsibly.
:politics
A: have you every belonged to a political party?
B: no, I haven’t, but I thought about joining the green party.
A: really? I know you are very concerned about the environment. You were a member of the pressure group greenpeace, weren’t you?
B: yes. I was. But I didn’t have enough time to devote to it.
A: the green party have no chance of winning an election. The other parties are too big and popular.
B; you’re right. But smaller political and pressure groups can often influence large political parties. Any member of parliament can propose legislation and parties and pressure groups can raise awareness of issues.
A: most people are not very politically aware. They often don’t understand the issues fully.
B: that’s true. But it’s a little strange because the media often reports on political events. You can read about them in newspaper or hear them on tv.
Intermediate
A: how does the political system work in your country?
B: we have hundreds of constituencies and the votes in each one elect a member of parliament. Most people call them mp’s.
A; each mp belongs to a political party, right?
B: almost all of them do. A few are independent. That means that they do not belong to a party. If one party more than half of the mp’s. they form a government. That means that they choose a prime minister can cabinet members.
A; what’s a cabinet?
B; this is a small group of people-perhaps 25 mp’s who are usually ministers. They make all the big decision and discuss laws and policy.
A; can any mp make a law?
B: any mp can present a law to parliament. The proposed law is debated and voted on. If it is accepted, it becomes law.
A: I suppose a proposed a law needs the support of the big political parties.
B: yes, it does, because they have most of the mp’s. most mp’s vote the way their party wants them to.
A: how do people choose which party or candidate to vote for?
B: they produce manifesto. These documents which states their policies. Some people just vote for the same party every time there is an election. Votes who often change the party they vote for are called floating voters.
:the natural world
A: what are you doing?
B: I’m just looking at this map of the world. I’m preparing for a geography class.
A: there are no countries marked on the map.
B; no, there aren’t. this map just show the geographical features. Look at the Himalayan plateau with the highest peaks in the world.
A: the thing that I find most surprising is that most of the world is covered with water. Compared to the oceans, most countries are tiny.
B; I find it incredible how millions of years of volcanic activity have created mountains thousands of metres tall.
A; rivers have created deep valleys and canyons like the grand canyou.
B: the oceans and landscapes all influence our climate.
A; it’s all so interesting. I’ll have to find more information about it on the internet. Or perhaps I should try and attend your geography class.
Intermediate
A: bout our countries are quite small. How would you describe the landscape in your country?
B: my country is well know for being very flat. There are some hills in the southeast of the country.
A: is it really completely flat?
B; pretty much. The land rises and falls only a few meters. The southeast, the hills rise to a height of a few hundred meters. There are mountains over 1000 meters high in your country.
A; yes, there are. They are not very big compared with the mountains in other countries.
B; the coast of your country is very varied. The coast of my country is just made up of sandy beaches.
A; that doesn’t sound too bad. Great for sunbathing! The coast of my country changes even within a few kilometers. There are cliffs, then sandy beaches. Then rocks. There are lots of caves in the cliffs. There are also many small islands off the coast, but few people lives on them.
B: there are many lakes and rivers in your country too. We also have many rivers, but only a few lakes.
A: we also have waterfalls in the mountains. They make the landscapes look very scenic. The landscape has been shapes by millions of years of erosion, especially by water.
