Speaking(重复NA2010.8.21)
Task 1
Your friend has just won the jackpot in the lottery and asks you what you think he should do with his winnings. How would you respond?
参考答案：If my friend won the lottery, I would first tell him not to spend it all in one place. What I mean is that I would advise him to seriously think about how he wants to spend his money. He should obviously hire an accountant, because I hear it is very difficult to manage large amounts of money. He then should make a plan about how much money he wants to spend right now, how much money he needs to pay off debts or loans, and how much money he wants to save for the future. Personally I would advise him to seriously think about creating a trust fund and spend his money responsibly. In this way he can lean a comfortable life and be satisfied knowing that his family will be provided for in the future.
Task 2
People say that the clothes you wear should be fashionable and not last year’s style, what do you think?
参考答案：I once read in the newspaper about an interview of the women who helps Michelle Obama pick out her clothes. I remember she said that you can have style, even if you are not wearing the latest trend in clothing. The reason Michelle Obama always looks fabulous is that she wear clothes that reflect her own sense of style clothes that she is comfortable wearing, because they reflect her own personality. The more comfortable you are with how you look ,the more confident and fashionable you end up looking. I agree with this stylist. I once spend a lot of money on jeans that were the latest style, but that didn’t fit my personality. I walked around all day feeling very self-conscious. However, when I wear clothes that fit my own style, I get lots of compliments.
