  (2) which area do you think that need more 投资? why?
5. a timetable.

OK.
now some general skills:
1. HAVE A FOCUS.
   do NOT wandering around.
2. say what you should say in a limited time.
   select the most importment and apprent points.(2-3points general)
3. you can think for a few seconds and then begin to speak, if you'd like.
   (but remember the time!)
   think about:1) main points,
               2) what the test WANT you to say,
               3) IF NOTHING TO SAY AT ALL, MAKE UP SOMETHING!!!
                  (this is a great skill!)
4. pay attention to coherence devices, I mean, conj.words.
5. pay attention to linguistic accuracy.
   especially in the 6-picture describeing-question, you must pay attention
   to 时态.
   generally speaking, always use 过去时.
   and in the first three question, you can't make this kind of mistake.
   The pronunciation is also what the test maker want you to show in the
   first three question, the pictures question and the last one.
Then, let me show you some 常用语.
1.map.
1)direction.
an example:
"You go out this building to the south and you are on the Alfa street.
Go east along Alfa street for two blocks, turn right onto Beta street.
Head north for two more blocks. .....
The Final is just at the end(beginning, middle) of the next block,
next to(just before, just opposite to) the Sigma.
You can't miss it."
2).visit:
"You should really visit ....
First, its...
And, .....
What's more, .....
The most attractive part(character) of XXX is that ...
You can never afford to miss that.
(or: I bet you will have a good time there.)"
Just exercise : restrant, shop, book store, museum, park,...
3) prefer this or that? (build which one? Should a factory be built?...)
"Although A....,I still prefer B ...because ..."
"Personally speaking, I like B much more since..."
"Although A do have it's benefits, like A1,A2, I think B is much better,
First,(Most important of all) .... Second,..."
2.pictures.
1)describe.
"A sunny morning, Mr.Wilson...."
like that.about 5-15seconds per picture.
You can use the NCE-book1 for exercise.
2)Call.
"Hello.(Good morning) Is that the laundry? Oh, my name is ...
And I had.... Since I have to...(Just make up some reasonable reasons here)
Could you please have my suit ready today?
.... Thank you very much. Have a good day."
3.questions.
1)related to your sub.
exercise these topics, like a term, an instrument, a book, a phenomenon,
a famous physist, a new development, and things like that.
2)for or against.
since this topic is just like the TWE, I don't want to waste words here.
Just remember, be brief, and select those important and apparent points.
give each one a few words. that's enough for the 1-minute.
3) maybe some other questions you haven't prepared for.
  likewise: describe an invention.
            what a teacher should be like?

4.graphs. (you can use some GRE quantitive test questions.)
three kinds.
curve.  2 pies.  2 bars.
1)describe.
I can't give an overall example, since there are many kinds of tendency
which could be showed in these graphs.
Just borrow some books of economics which contain those words used in
describing graphs. And have many exercises.
That's the way.
And, a little skill:
You must give out the main tendency of the graphs while you speaking.
And, give out some important numbers! (Not all, but none is also wrong.)
2)meaning.
Just give the main tendency and it's meaning.
if time available, show it's influence to people or society.
It depends.
What the test maker ask you and your time.
5.the timetable.
this one is a very important one.
a good performance in this question will give the test scorer a good
impression at last. maybe a 5 points will get just at this try.
The model is very solid. Just carve it in your brain.
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen(Boys and Girls.)
Welcome to our meeting tonight.
I'm the president of the XXX club.
Now I'm going to show you some changes in the schedule of our trip
to ....(our meeting the other day on XXX.)
//me: you can part this word into halves.
// As we all know, we'll have a trip to XXX(or meeting).
// Now I'm goin to show you some changes in the schedule.
The changes are as follows:
  The first change is time: it will be XXX.
  Another change is .....
  And also, ....
  The last change is....
All the other items on the schedule remain unchanged. Now let me give
you a brief review.
.....   ( if not too much time left, just select those important one.
the time, you can even just give the first and the last. all others
just be omitted. Of course, if still enough time, you can speak as
much as you like. (But I don't think u will still have much time now.))
Ok, I wish you enjoy this trip(meeting.)
Thank you very much!"
(I wonder if you still have time to say these two words!  )
After all, to say how much and how to say, they all depend on you.
It's very normal that you didn't finish the last one. That's OK.
I didn't also. and I still got 45. But if you have strong s-English,
u will finish it and all others successfully and got a 50 or even, 60.

The test is over. You can go home.

Woooooo...., what a relief.  :-)
