TSE考试一共有12个问题,其中可以以不变应万变的有4个问题。剩下的有口头作文。
中国学生在口头作文中常犯的错误有:
1. 人称的混用 
2. 动词时态的错误
3. 表达内容空洞,缺少发展思想
4. 文化背景的差异。因为外国人对中国的了解非常有限。好多中国学生没有照顾到老
外中国知识的有限,
把汉语的说法应用、硬搬到英语上。(chinlish)
口头作文在表达过程中有两个标准:
1.Make a point,达一个观点
2.develop an idea,发展一个思想。文化角度不能想当然,和外国人交谈是跨文化
交际。“发展”而
不是“迂回”或“滥竽充数”,绝不是填鸭式的。
思路和范文
Traveling is more import than reading books in order to understand
 the people and
the world. Do you agree of disagree the statement? Use specific r
easons to support
your answer.
Reading a book about another place sparks my interests to travel 
there. I don’t
put the book down and do nothing about it, I make plans to  go
 and see what
I have read about. Ask yourself,  if you buy a recipe book, are
 you going to 
just look at the pictures, and read about how the deserts are ma
de, no, you 
want to eat that dessert that you have read about. Books generate
 desire and 
arouse our interest in things, but it is only by our actions tha
t we can satisfy
these desires, and pursue out interests.
Some people like to talk on the telephone while others prefer to 
write letters. 
Which do you prefer and why?
ANSWER 1:
If I have a choice, I usually choose to call someone because it’
s faster. If 
I want to tell someone something, I don’t want to have to wait 
several days 
for them to hear it. Also, I don’t want to go to the post off
ice to buy 
stamps and mail a letter. I like things that are convenient. I f
eel that I can 
express myself more easily with my voice. When you’re talking on 
the phone, you
can hear the other person’s voice, so you know how they feel. A
lso, they can 
hear your voice. You can laugh together. Talking on the phone can
 be a lot of 
fun, but writing letters is really painful for me. I’m simply no
t good at it. 
It just takes forever.
ANSWER 2:
I like to take time to think about what I want to say. When I 
write letters.
I can choose my words more carefully. That way, I never have to 
worry about 
saying the wrong thing. I have beautiful handwriting and I like t
o draw little 
pictures on the letters I write, I like to imagine that the pers
on I write the 
letter to will keep it, and read it years later. How can you sa
ve a phone 
conversation? Besides, my parents and many of my friends live far 
away. It’s 
just too expensive to call them all the time. I can’t afford to
 do that. (105
words)
