答案E Now, I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen. I’d like you to discuss about the most common means of communication. A I think the most common means of communication for our students is the telephone. Nowadays almost every dorm owns one telephone. It’s so quick and convenient to talk with our friends on the phone, especially when you have something urgent to tell them. B Well, partly I agree with you. I think if my friends are in the same city, I’ll choose the telephone as the best means of communication. But if they are in other cities, other provinces or even other countries, I can’t afford it. It’s so expensive. In this matter, I’d choose letter writing as the best means. As long as I have time I’d rather write to my friend. Sometimes I just think telephones make people lazy and lengthens the distance between people. A Yes, I agree with you. Furthermore, there is another cheap and convenient means of communication. It’s e-mail. With the popularity of computers, more and more people are now starting to send e-mails to each other, especially on university and college campuses. B But not every student can afford to buy a computer and knows how to send and receive e-mails. As far as my class is concerned, most students write letters to communicate with friends. Everyday I see a large pile of letters sent to my class from different places. Sometimes you see students using telephones but most of them are talking on the phone with their friends who just live in the same city or in the same school. A I don’t think there are any students in our university who do not know how to send and receive e-mails. B I think sometimes if a student wants to send and check e-mails, he must go to the computer center. It’s really not convenient. But for telephone calls, it is very convenient, if we use IP and 193 cards. The students I know use the telephone more often. A Why did you say that telephones make people lazy and lengthen the distance between people? B Nowadays people are becoming too dependent on telephones. Even when they have time to write a letter, they prefer telephones. With the little magical implement at hand, it isn’t difficult for a man to find an excuse for not writing letters and feel at ease. Telephones are making people lazy. When a person writes, he must organize his mind, express his ideas and think more logically. People not only greet each other but also exchange thoughts by letters. From this viewpoint, telephone lengthens the distance between people. B How do you usually keep in touch with your friends? A I usually keep in touch with my friends by e-mail. It’s a very quick, cheap and convenient means of communication for me. I have my own computer, and the internet is free in my university. I need not pay anything for the e-mails. Most of my friends have their own computers too. I used to use telephones very often, but it’s really so expensive if I talked with them on the phone. Most of my friends are in other cities, provinces or even other countries. Occasionally, I write letters to some friends, but not very often. I think writing and reading letters is quite a pleasant thing. But most often, I keep in touch with my friends by e-mail. A Which way of corresponding do you think will be most popular in the near future? B I think corresponding through sending e-mails will be the most popular way in the near future. With the popularity of computers, more and more people are now starting to send e-mails to each other. The pace of modern society is faster and faster, and writing letters is no longer a good way to communicate. Although the telephone is a quick and convenient means of communication, it’s so expensive especially for long-distance phone calls. It’s cheaper to send e-mails than to talk on the telephone. B Do you think letters will eventually be replaced by e-mail or fax? Please give your reasons. A I don’t think letters will eventually be replaced by e-mail or fax. E-mail and fax are just becoming more and more popular in our modern society. However it’s not a traditional way to communicate. There are still some people who will prefer writing letters to their friends in the future. They think that writing down their thoughts on some beautiful paper and writing by pen instead of by keyboard are really very pleasant things. In addition, not every person has a computer or a fax machine. They have to write letters instead of sending e-mails. Finally, I think writing letters can promote people’s writing ability. So, letters will never be replaced by e-mail or fax. A What do you think is the most efficient way for people to keep in touch with each other and why do you think so? B Nowadays more and more households in China own at least one telephone, through which people can easily talk to each other. We can make phone calls whenever and wherever we want to. So I think telephone calls are the most efficient way for people to keep in touch with each other, especially when you have something urgent to tell somebody. It’s quicker than writing letters, and more convenient than e-mails.
