英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)在英語(yǔ)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(chǎng)發(fā)揮得好壞對(duì)于總成績(jī)關(guān)系很大?，F(xiàn)以一篇往年試題略加分析，幫助大家提高即興的口頭表達(dá)能力。
首先是審題要正確，這與閱讀水平和細(xì)心程度有關(guān)。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(wèn)你是否同意這句話。同意則表示“應(yīng)該以貌取人”。
根據(jù)考題展開(kāi)你的觀點(diǎn) ；
“不能以貌取人”寫(xiě)在紙上是一句非常漂亮的話，說(shuō)給別人聽(tīng)更是高尚無(wú)比。然而，現(xiàn)實(shí)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(huì)影響對(duì)某人的看法，要表達(dá)這樣的想法，我們不妨這樣說(shuō)：
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(shuō)回來(lái)，一味以貌取人也說(shuō)不過(guò)去。外貌畢竟只是人們判斷時(shí)的參照之一。以下兩段話表達(dá)的便是這種觀點(diǎn)：
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?yàn)楸M管它反映的只是某人的外觀，但它確是構(gòu)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(duì)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(zhì)風(fēng)度往往比他們的衣著打扮更能展現(xiàn)其風(fēng)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(shuō)得好：人無(wú)完人。教授、專家、學(xué)術(shù)泰斗們有衣冠楚楚、光彩照人者，但不拘小節(jié)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 very well . And therefore , if you judge him based on his appearance , you are not fair . He is a very intelligent , creative and interesting person , and yet to look at him , you might not think so highly of him .
我們聽(tīng)某人之言，可以知其人之性，“言為心聲”，是之謂也。我們將這句話往深處一想，便不難悟出這樣的道理--以貌取人所反映的往往是一種膚淺。
7. If you judge a person by their appearances , this tells people more about yourself than it does about that person . If the only quality that you value in a person is how well he dresses or how attractive he looks , then we can see into yourself , and understand that the things that you really do value are those very superficial qualities .
待人接物如此，交友時(shí)亦是如此。擇友時(shí)若唯外表是取，你可能會(huì)與志趣相投者擦肩而過(guò)：
8. If you choose your friend based on who is well dressed or who is more attractive , or other superficial qualities , then you are going to have less likelihood to have a good friend . You are going to miss out on a friend you could have who is much more interesting and much more creative and yet is much less interested in appearances.
外表的改變用不了多少時(shí)間，而內(nèi)在素質(zhì)的養(yǎng)成卻遠(yuǎn)非一朝一夕。不知讀者是否同意這個(gè)說(shuō)法？
9. People can buy a very nice outfit in just a couple of minutes , and they can change their outward appearances in a few hours by going to a barbar"s shop or a hairdresser"s . And yet how long will it take to develop creativity , or to become very well educated , or to have interests in areas of knowledge ? You can"t gain these so easily and quickly . It takes years , not just a few minutes .
以上只是考生中比較普遍的一些想法和觀點(diǎn)。不能面面俱到。讀者在讀過(guò)本文之后可以思考一下，理出自己的思路，然后試著將自己的說(shuō)法表達(dá)出來(lái)。這樣做既可以理清思路，又能提高口語(yǔ)表達(dá)時(shí)所述內(nèi)容的精確性和用語(yǔ)的準(zhǔn)確性。
