英語口語在英語考試中占總分的百分之三十,這一部分有一定的難度，而臨場發揮得好壞對于總成績關系很大。現以一篇往年試題略加分析，幫助大家提高即興的口頭表達能力。

　　首先是審題要正確，這與閱讀水平和細心程度有關。題目Do You Agree with the Idea that One Can Not Judge a Person by Appearance ? 中的從句One Can Not Judge a Person by Appearance 意為“不能以貌取人”，而試題是問你是否同意這句話。同意則表示“應該以貌取人”。

根據考題展開你的觀點 ；

　　“不能以貌取人”寫在紙上是一句非常漂亮的話，說給別人聽更是高尚無比。然而，現實中又有多少人能不折不扣地這樣去做呢？外表的美丑或多或少地總會影響對某人的看法，要表達這樣的想法，我們不妨這樣說：

　　1. I think people do judge others by their appearance at least to some extent . We often pick up many clues about other people from their clothes and from their outward appearance . If I come to you and tell you that I "m a very shabby , would you believe me ?

　　但話又說回來，一味以貌取人也說不過去。外貌畢竟只是人們判斷時的參照之一。以下兩段話表達的便是這種觀點：

　　2. When I see someone in dirty clothes , I will assume that maybe he is uneducated ; but just when you think you can totally rely on that , that is when you "ll be wrong .

　　3. I think we should , but not always . We should not put too much stock in it , and we should not rely on it too much.

　　外表之所以能左右人的判斷，是因為盡管它反映的只是某人的外觀，但它確是構成某人形象的因素之一。但真正能夠反映某人好壞的卻是其性格。此外，有些年輕人對于外表格外注意；而己有一定閱歷的人則未必如此，他們的氣質風度往往比他們的衣著打扮更能展現其風貌：

　　4. It is a wrong to think that appearnce are not important . The superficial characteristics are useful in some ways , but are not of the first importance . We should judge people based on their characters .

　　5. It depends on a lot of things besides just the appearance . I notice that young people like to dress up very formally . They will make sure that they are always looking very proper . But I also notice that older people , particularly those topnotched people , don"t dress up very carefully , because they have leant to act in a certain way that says more than the clothes they wear .

　　完全以貌取人不足取。但俗話說得好：人無完人。教授、的專家、的學術泰斗們有衣冠楚楚、的光彩照人者，但不拘小節者也大有人在。若以世俗但眼光看待他們，則大大有失公正：

　　6. Judging people by their appearances discounts other qualities . For example , there is a very intelligent professor who is very skilled when he goes into the classroom and explains the scientific theories ; and he is very skilled when he goes into the lab and does his experiments . Yet maybe he has a difficult time shaving properly ; maybe he has a difficult time in other cases ; maybe he does not have anybody to buy nice clothes for him , and maybe he does not realize that he has spilled some liquid on his shirt . In fact , it"s difficult for people like him to dress very well or shave ver
