It is also clear that four office rooms are dotted at the south of this building, with one adjacent to each other. At the North, a kitchen, canteen and a stock room can be found right opposite those office rooms.In the future, enormous differences will take place in this building. Firstly, as regards to the two grass lands, the West-one will be converted into an outside activity area, while the other will be modified into a coffee bar at the North and a meeting area at the South. The reception and entrance are also intended to be relocated to the mid of two office rooms at the South facing the other two offices rooms and a stock room at the North, this means that the original kitchen and canteen will have been removed.Overall, office showed is projected to turn into a place of high utilization rate.In some countries, the government has tried to reduce traffic. For instance, they imposed a congestion tax during rush hour. Do you think this development is positive or negative?大作文分析：此次大作文考察的是政府类话题。要求论述政府试图缓解交通压力诸如征收高峰期通行费是利还是弊。The traffic congestion issue has long been a public concern especially in some large cities worldwide. Whether governments should be involved in solving this problem has triggered a heated controversy. It is true that government intervention can bring some benefits to some extent, it is opposed by some people though.Undoubtedly, governments possess greater authority than any other parties in the society, which means their intervention is comparatively effective. For example, the implement of congestion tax can directly lead to the decline of traffic during those rush hours because of the increasing driving cost. Another advantage of government intervention is that governments can impact the public to a wider extent. Unlike some actions taken by the social communities, large companies or individuals, the projects carried out by governments have restrictions on every citizen living in the city or country. Once the traffic congestion is reduced, there will be many positive effects followed by, for instance, the commuting time can be largely reduced for those who need to travel to and from work.On the other hand, the extra tax raised by the government will impose a negative effect on some people. One potential group influenced by this policy are those who have to drive to and from work. If this measure comes into effect, the financial burden on them is definitely higher. As a result, the well-being of these people may experience a decline, which is against the aim of government policies.In conclusion, benefits and drawback co-exist in terms of this tax policy. It can effectively solve the traffic problems to a large extent, while some damages can be caused to those who are taxed especially in the financial way.1月为换题季，口语题库会有很大的改动，请同学们及时关注新增话题并扎实准备。以下为本场高频1.

Describe a story or a novel that was particularly interesting to you5. Describe a person in the news that you would like to meetDescribe a film you enjoyed.I’m not a regular cinema-goer, I prefer the comfort and convenience of watching movies in my own home with my friends, where I can download them and view them on my TV. I remember it was last year’s summer vacation, a film called the “Shawshank Redemption” was recommended by my friend. He told me it was one of best movies he had ever seen, so it totally aroused my interest to watch this movie.So, I decided to watch this movie with my friend again at my home. The movie is mainly about a character called Andy, who works in the bank and leads a regular life. One day, he suddenly finds his wife is cheating on him, and shortly afterwards, his wife is dead. As a result, he is convicted and sends to the prison for the rest of his life for no reason, but he never loses hope. Finally, he escapes from the prison through the tunnel he digs for years, and goes to the Mexico by using the fake ID.The reason why I enjoyed this movie so much was probably because it taught me a lot of things. It made me think and inspired me a lot. No matter how depressed we are, we should never lose hope. As long as you keep going, you will finally conquer the difficult and acquire your own success.
