A 节部分即口头提问，是针对所给的Topic(主题)设计出若干问题，向考生发问。它出现在考试的起始阶段和最后阶段。在这两部分中每位考生大约分别有一分钟左右的时间回答问题，大概要说十句话左右。所以不能简单地说上一两句就结束了。因为在口头提问部分不给准备时间，因此考生无论在考试前还是考试过程中都应有足够的准备。下面就一起来看看详细解析， 希望对大家有所帮助，更多消息请关注应届毕业生网。
1)事先学习使用一些表达方式给自己争取一点时间思考。常用的表达方式有：
As everybody knows.。. Sofar as I am concerned. 。 .
What I mean is.。. Well.。.
That is to say.。. You know， 。..
2)重复考官的问题也是一种得体的方式，为的是让自己有一点时间思考。
3)考试中选择自己熟悉的东西或事情来谈，否则会由于有些词不会用英文表述，而给自己造成麻烦。比如就音乐或书籍来讲，考试时选择一种会表述或表述较为容易的音乐或一本自己熟悉的书，比选择一种自己真正喜欢的'音乐或一本书更现实。
4)考试中为了使自己回答问题的内容更充实些，可以用列举法或举例说明法予以适当展开阐述。
5)考生在回答问题时，如果发现自己要说的话太少，或觉得无话可说时，不妨把自己想到的问题再详细地说明或细化一下。
A 节部分常考话题汇总及答案
1. And what shall I call you?
Most people call me Xiao Huang.
2. Where do you come from?
a. I was born in Xi‘an， which is one of the major cities in China. It used to be the capital city at one point in China’s history.
b. I come from Shanghai， but I was born in Xi‘an. My parents moved to Shanghai when I was just 4 years old， so I really don’t know much about Xi‘an， apart from occasional summer visits to see
some good friends of the family. In fact， I don’t have any relatives at all living in Xi‘an.
3. Where about is your hometown?
Xi’an is located in Shanxi Province， which is in central China.
4. Could you tell me something about your hometown?
a. Hmm. 。 . well， the population is about 6 million. It‘s famous for its historic sites， especially for the Terracotta Warriors. Xi’an was named the capital of China several times over many dynasties. Also， Xi‘an is the starting point of the famous Silk Road， which was important in ancient times. The weather is extremely hot in summer， about 40 degrees Centigrade， and fairly cold in the winter， about 14 degrees Centigrade below zero.
b. Okay. Well， first of all， my hometown is “X”。 I was born in the city， but moved to the outskirts of the town when I was small. “X” is a fairly large city — a pretty important economic centre actually. It has a population of 3 million. It’s pretty flat， and is situated right near a large lake.
5. What is the climate like in your hometown?
It‘s generally very hot in summer， about 40 degrees Centigrade. In winter， it’s cold — about minus 14 degrees Centigrade. The spring and autumn are both mild and pleasant， with temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 degrees Centigrade. Oh， and the summer time is extremely humid as well. There are four seasons. Winter is cold and snowy; spring is short and rainy; summer is hot and humid; and autumn is beautiful.
6. Tell me about what‘s the biggest traditional festival in your country. Definitely the Spring Festival. I suppose it’s somewhat like Christmas in western countries. Spring Festival is the only time when all families gather together and stores and business are closed for several days.
7. Can you describe one of the main festivals celebrated in your country? National Day， which is on October 1st， is a big holiday. We get three days off and there are a lot of fireworks displays. There are large flower pictures and other types of flowers decorating the city，and some of the larger cities hold parades.
8. How long have you lived in Beijing?
Almost 4 years now. I first came to Beijing in July 1996. It‘s kind of surprising that I’ve already lived here for 4 years. I wasn‘t planning to stay for a long time， but then I got a good job in a joint venture company.
9. How do you compare the climate in Beijing with that in your hometown?
It’s about the same， except that we get a lot more snow in my hometown than we get in Beijing. I suppose it has something to do with the geography of the two cities.
10. Which city， in your opinion， is the best city in China?
Beijing， because it‘s the capital of China and has a very rich culture. In addition， Beijing is more beautiful than many other cities， because it’s the showcase of China. A lot of money has been invested in Beijing and it is a very interesting place to visit.
11. Has the transport changed over the past 20 years in China?
Yes， very much indeed. We used to have very few bus lines years ago. Most people would use their bikes to get to places in the city. But now in big cities， there are more bus lines linking different places so it is a lot more convenient. Some cities also have subway lines so it makes traveling much faster than before. There are also more taxis in cities and more people are also using that as a mode of transportation.
12. Let‘s talk a little about traveling and transport. For a long trip， how do you prefer to travel? In my country， if it is a long trip， I would prefer to take a train ride. Not only is train ride more economical， but also the time and route have shortened tremendously in the past few years. Air travel is more expensive and they are often beyond my budget.
13. Let’s talk about your hometown or village. What kind of place is it?
My hometown is in the outskirts of Beijing. Maybe one hour travel time to get to Beijing. Fairly close I would say. The people there are mostly farmers but many young people have gone to Beijing to work. I like the place because it is very quiet. Unlike the people in big cities who are more complicated， the people of the place where I come from are usually more down to earth.
14. Why do you think trains are better than buses?
Trains are better because they don‘t encounter any traffic， whereas sometimes in the bus， we get stuck in the traffic. Also， it is always difficult to get on the buses during the peak hour but with the train， you can bet that the chances of getting on are always greater during the peak hour.
15. What kind of parent do you intend to be?
I want to have a good relationship with my child. I have seen so many kids who don’t really know their own parents， and I don‘t want to end up like that. I do plan to be strict， but loving. I want my child to always feel comfortable to approach me， whether they’ve been good or bad. It‘s pretty easy to tell you what kind of parent I want to be， but when I actually become a parent， I’m sure I‘ll have to revise my ideals a bit.
