问题 Interlocutor     Now, I’d like each of you to talk on your own for about a minute. I’m going to give each of you two different pictures and I’d like you to talk about them.

(Hand over picture sheet 1 to Candidate A.)
Candidate B, I’ll give you your pictures in a minute.
Candidate A, I’d like you to compare and contrast these pictures, saying which notion you would agree with and why. Remember, you have only about a minute for this. So don’t worry if I interrupt you. All right?

答案Student A When I look at these two pictures, I am confronted by two drastically different ways of life. The first photo shows a person deliberating over job choices. In the other photo we see a person taking a different path. This person has decided to start her own company and become her own boss. The first person may be a recent university graduate, and he has several choices. He looks nervous, and I can understand why. Choosing the right career path is rarely an easy thing to do, but once he’s settled into a job, he’ll most likely be very secure and stable. He’ll have to deal with having a boss and coworkers, which could be a blessing or a curse, depending on who they are and what they’re like. The other photo may show a graduate or maybe a person who has skipped university all together. Like I said before, she’s starting her own company. This is not a safe career path, but it may be more rewarding. If the company is successful, she will be the key decision maker. The character in the photo looks confident about her choice, unlike the nervous decision maker in the first photo. Both of these choices have benefits and drawbacks. The first is a safer choice, but with less flexibility and opportunity for leadership. The second may lead to a higher salary and more power and say within the company, but it’s expensive from the start and success certainly isn’t guaranteed. Student B The saying may be overused, but it’s still true that every coin has two sides. Almost every decision a person makes, that choice has its disadvantages and advantages. If two people are lucky enough to find each other, fall and love and decide to spend their lives together, they then have an incredibly important decision to make. Do they want to have children or not? These two pictures show a person’s two options. In the first picture, the couple hasn’t got any children. They’re DINKs — so that means that they both work, they have a duel income, but they haven’t got any kids. The other photo shows a large family— two parents with three kids. It’s nice to first notice that everyone in both of the photos is looking really happy. That’s probably because both of these two options have advantages. They also both have disadvantages. One advantage for the couple without any children is that all the money that they earn from their jobs is theirs alone. They don’t have to share it with anyone but each other. They don’t have to worry about the costs of feeding and clothing children or the costs of education, which can be extremely high. The couple without children will have more free time to spend together or to spend alone. In my opinion, regardless of the drawbacks, having children is still the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s true that children can be time consuming and expensive, but the joy that a child brings to his or her parents more than makes up for the lack of time and money. Not only that, but when a person grows old, his or her child or children will be there to take care of him or her. One way to look at the time and money spent on the kid is as an investment in one’s own future security. And I really think there’s a very strong biological drive to reproduce. Children are a lot of fun and having one has great advantages, but there are drawbacks as well and having children isn’t for everyone. It’s an important decision that people need to make for themselves.
