　　1.Do you think artists with talents should focus on their talents?

　　答题方法一如既往，先给你的观点，然后解释、说明、支持它（可以讲原因，可以举例子），把意思说清楚。

　　[sample answer]

　　Yes. I think they definitely should as talent is something that comes with birth and not everyone can have. It would be totally a waste if you don’t do anything about it. A person with talent is more likely to become a great artist. For example, I heard that Mozart, the child prodigy who began showing his talents when he was just three years old. Then he kept practicing and became one of the greatest composers in the history.

　　观点：应该

　　原因：有机会成为伟大的艺术家

　　例子：莫扎特

　　也许有的同学马上就想来“驳斥”我上面的观点，没关系，你可以提出自己的观点，完成你自己的这个“给观点+进一步解释、说明、支撑”你的观点的过程。

　　记住，口语考试里回答问题的时候不要在观点上钻牛角尖、纠结，想想4个评分标准，考的是流利度和连贯性、用词、语法和发音，所以在某种程度上你的观点到底是什么并不重要，说得流利才重要，不跑题、有逻辑，说得连贯才重要，用词、语法、发音准确、自然，能传达清楚意思才重要。

　　2.ls it possible for us to know whether children who are 3 or 4 years old will become musicians and painters when they grow up?

　　[sample answer]

　　Well, I don’t think it is possible to predict what a child will grow up to be in the future at such a young age. Mainly because this age is when they want to discover the world around them and like to try all kinds of things. Sometimes they show great interest in music, painting, or machines, yet when they grow older, they might lose interest in them or if they don’t get enough support from their parents, they probably just drop it even though they have this innate talent in some area.

　　3.Why do people like to watch talent shows?

　　Talent show，比较古早的印象就是America’s Got Talent以及各个国家举办的同名节目，然后还有American Idol，第一季冠军说出名字来也许会暴露年纪——Kelly Clarkson，她后来的发展也挺成功，专辑好听销量也不错，而在参加比赛之前，她只是一个鸡尾酒调酒师吗？第八季的Adam Lambert，一曲Born to be wild的震动到现在我还感觉很清晰。中国也有很多这样的节目，比如当年的“中国达人秀”，“超级女声”，“快乐男声”，后来的“中国好声音”，再到现在的“这就是街舞”，“中国有嘻哈”，“创造营”，“青春有你”，“演员请就位”，等等，都是talent show。这些节目观众参与度都非常高，到了要投票的时候观众疯狂打投那也是很常见。

　　那么现在问题来了，为什么人们喜欢看talent shows呢？

　　[sample answer]

　　Well, I guess one reason is that talent shows are very entertaining. Performances like dancing, singing and acrobatics are always amusing, or even exciting, and watching them is a very good way to relax.

　　On top of that, I suppose it is undeniable that when we see ordinary people like you and me standing on the stage singing and getting a pass card, and even become very famous and successful, we get greatly encouraged and inspired, coz we see a possibility, one that ordinary people can be successful, too. For example, I watched an interview of the audiences of Britain’s Got Talent, who said that they cried after hearing Susan Boyle sing the song I Dreamed a Dream. It was not because she sang so beautifully, but the truth that she let them know dreams, although far away, can be reached through persistence.

　　这些秀非常具有娱乐性，而除此之外也许更多的是我们在其中会看到普通人因为坚持和努力获得成功，我们会受鼓舞，会变得更自信。

　　4.Do you think it is more interesting to watch famous people’s or ordinary people’s shows?

　　[sample answer]

　　Well, I’d say both of them are pretty interesting.

　　If you watch famous people’s shows, you can see another side of them, which is usually quite different from what you’ve seen from their movies, TV series and things like that. And you could know a lot of stories behind. For instance, in the reality show you can see a super movie star who always looks very serious is surprisingly very easy-going, can cook really well and cook for his co-workers.

　　On the other hand, we see ourselves in the ordinary people in the shows, for example, when we are watching a singing show, we see the contestants strive to win, then we might think of ourselves striving in our lives. We cheer for them, and maybe the truth is that unconsciously we cheer for ourselves. And, watching ordinary people, who are just like us, standing on the fancy stage, under the bright lights and imaging what we’d be like if we were them is also fun.
