独立口语话题分类：人物、地点、事件、物体
人物 - Some people think that family members are the most important influence on young adults. Others believe that friends are the most important influence. Which do you agree with? Explain why.（家人vs朋友）
I agree with the second opinion that friends are the most important influence on young adults. Unlike children whose whole worlds consist of their family members, we, young adults spend more time with our friends. So, friends are more likely to have impact on us.
Besides, friends seem to be more convincing to us, no matter we are young or old. We may not listen to our families, but we will listen to our fellows. For example, my mom, she never thinks my advice for her diet is reasonable though I told her I am a post graduate of Nutrition (营养学) many times. On the contrary, she would treat whatever her friends say as the wisest words. And her friends are just a group of bank clerks (银行职员).

人物 - Which of the following people can give the most useful help in your career direction: families, friends or teachers. Choose one and explain why.
(家人vs朋友vs老师)
Teachers, in my opinion, provide me with the most useful help in my career direction.
First of all, teachers know better about my career development. Technology develops rapidly in these days. If not focusing on a certain professional field, people can’t keep informed of the latest development. Teachers usually devote themselves to the research program, and they are sensitive to the field dynamics. Therefore, they can provide a better suggestion about how we can make devotion to this field.
Furthermore, teachers have rich experience in dealing with students’ problems. They know better about what students want and what can offer students a sense of achievement. So, I think teachers can give the most useful help.
地点 – Some people refer to live in a place most of their life. Other people prefer to move to different places. Which do you prefer and why? （一直住在一个地方vs住在不同的地方）
Personally, I’d like to move to different places.
I know if I stay in my hometown, the familiarity of things around will make my life quite comfortable and convenient. But the life without too much change would be too boring. On the contrary, living in different places would offer me the chance to do a lot of exciting things, like enjoying different scenery, making new friends, or getting to know diverse cultures.
What’s more, it’s a perfect opportunity for me to become a more independent person. Because when I meet some challenges, since there is no parents or friends I can turn to for help, I must depend on myself and solve all kinds of problem on my own.

地点 - Talk about a popular gathering place in your town where people like to go. Describe the place and explain why people enjoy going there. （描述一个喜欢去的地方）
People in my city like to go to café.
Because it is a good place for people to meet friends. Inviting friends to home seems to be too formal and is easy to have misunderstanding. Café, however, is a more relaxing and social place. Sitting inside the café, people are free to talk in that environment. If people want to get something to eat or drink, they have easy access to those foods there.
Also, it is a good place to make friends. People go to café for leisure and fun. Forgetting about the work pressure, people have a stronger willingness to talk. It is easy to start a conversation by saying wow I like that drink as well for example. 表明自己观点
观点1：café是个见朋友的好地方 观点2：café是个交朋友的好地方
事件 - TPO7: 在家上学vs在外地上学
Personally, I prefer to go to university in a new city.
I know if I stay in my hometown, life would be convenient, because all my families and friends would be around and I would be familiar with everything there. But life would be boring if there’s no new challenges or change.
On the contrary, university life in a new city will be more exciting. First, I will learn all the skills in taking good care of myself and start to live independently. Second, I will make new friends with people from diverse backgrounds and learn a lot of exiting things from them.

事件 – TPO1: 描述一件从没做过的事情
I’d never read any English books before, but after watching the movie, Harry Potter, which I’m crazy about, I think maybe I could try to read the original books.
At first, I found it was really hard for me to do so. The sentences were full of words that I didn’t know. So, I decided to deal with the vocabulary first and started to look them up in the dictionary carefully one by one. After struggling for a few weeks, I found the vocabulary were no longer a problem for me and I could just enjoy the pure pleasure of reading this fascinating story. So, I’m really proud that I can read English novels now.

物体 - TPO12: What is the most efficient type of transportation in your country? Subway is the most efficient type of transportation in China.
First, it’s very convenient to take the subway. Subway stations are usually easy to find in a lot of places. And some are connected with some places where people go frequently, like the big shopping centers and parks.
Second, it’s very fast to take the subway. Since subways normally run underground, it won’t be influenced by the traffic jam on the ground, even at rush hours. So, it won’t take a long time to reach your destination.
Third, it’s also very cheap to take the subway. Like in Beijing, less than five yuan is enough to take the subway, but taking taxi may cost you a fortune especially if you bump into (偶然遇到) a traffic jam.
