Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they' always say, "My spoken English is poor." However, their spoken English does not have to remain "poor" ! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited. vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes .when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! .
All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor .If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
lf you do nut use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
63. What is most probably the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To improve your written English. B. To improve your listening.
C. To improve your spoken English. D. To improve your vocabulary.
64. Which of the following does the writer agree with according to the third paragraph?
A. don't be fluent. Just be accurate!
B. don't be nervous, don't be shy. Just write!
C. don't be afraid of making mistakes. Just speak!
D. don't be shy ,don't be fluent. Just listen and write!
65. The main idea of the last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of " ____
A. haste makes waste B. better late than never
C. pride goes before a fall D. practice makes perfect
66. The text is most probably taken from a _
A. teacher's diary C. sports newspaper
B. report on study D. movie magazine

书面表达: A suggested version:
Some students in our class think the contest is very good because they believe teachers should show their talent in public instead of just being limited to the classroom. At the same time, it can help change teachers' image which used to be only serious and industrious.
However, other students think the other way round. They hold the view that teaching is not entertainment, so it's unnecessary for a teacher to be good-looking, and holding such a contest is just misleading the teacher's role. On the other hand, it is unfair to the older teachers who have. a wealth of teaching experience. They can teach students better and that's where a teacher's real charm lies.
