A 節部分即口頭提問，是針對所給的Topic(主題)設計出若干問題，向考生髮問。它出現在考試的起始階段和最後階段。在這兩部分中每位考生大約分別有一分鐘左右的時間回答問題，大概要說十句話左右。所以不能簡單地說上一兩句就結束了。因為在口頭提問部分不給準備時間，因此考生無論在考試前還是考試過程中都應有足夠的準備。下面就一起來看看詳細解析， 希望對大家有所幫助，更多訊息請關注應屆畢業生網。
1)事先學習使用一些表達方式給自己爭取一點時間思考。常用的表達方式有：
As everybody knows.。. Sofar as I am concerned. 。 .
What I mean is.。. Well.。.
That is to say.。. You know， 。..
2)重複考官的問題也是一種得體的方式，為的是讓自己有一點時間思考。
3)考試中選擇自己熟悉的東西或事情來談，否則會由於有些詞不會用英文表述，而給自己造成麻煩。比如就音樂或書籍來講，考試時選擇一種會表述或表述較為容易的音樂或一本自己熟悉的書，比選擇一種自己真正喜歡的'音樂或一本書更現實。
4)考試中為了使自己回答問題的內容更充實些，可以用列舉法或舉例說明法予以適當展開闡述。
5)考生在回答問題時，如果發現自己要說的話太少，或覺得無話可說時，不妨把自己想到的問題再詳細地說明或細化一下。
A 節部分常考話題彙總及答案
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.
