水平考试(二)口试模拟试题(1)
I.Prepare yourself to read the following dialogue and answer some questions about it. .
Interviewer: Do you think the public schools are a good thing or a bad thing, Mr. Martin?
Mr. Martin, I think it’s a very much a bad thing. You see, I totally disagree with the idea that anyone should be about to buy their children a better education than another. The thing is the public schools help to keep the idea of a ruling elite alive and work against social change. I think I would like to see all private schools absorbed into the state education system and every child allowed the chance of the same education. There is a very strong argument that the pressure of those parents whose children at present go to public schools would soon bring about a great improvement in the state system.
Interviewer: Mrs. Jones, do you agree with Mr. Martin?
Mrs. Jones: No, I don’t. I think public schools are a good thing. You see, if we could afford it , my husband and I would send our sons to a public school when they reach secondary school age. I think public schools finish them off, burn them into gentlemen, and give them a good start in life. The good thing about public schools is that those who go to a public school can mix with other children who come from good backgrounds. The only thing I can think of against them is that only very few public schools are co-educational. It’s a shame, isn’t it? I mean, mixing with both sexes from a very early age is a good thing, particularly when boys don’t have a sister.
