Lastly,new technologies in car-making, information technologies were also imported initially, though numerous solutions and innovations have been developed locally by Chinese later on.

　　- What you think the advantages are for people in your country of spending time working abroad

　　这个题目许多人都能想到开阔眼界等，用词也比较俗

　　Working abroad offers a variety of benefits to people in general, including the Chinese.

　　Firslty, it allows people to get a global vision, which is an assets nowadays, when globalisation is taking place at a rapid rate. Specifically speaking, it is not uncommon to find foreign companies in China or doing business with Chinese counterparts. A global perspective will certainly help communications among multi-national team members.

　　Secondly, people can sharpen their English language skills. Needless to say, English is the working language in the world and working in another contry enables people to get more exposure language-wise. It is obvious that the workers would use the language to serve a purpose in their job, rather than learning it from a text book. Such practice of language will certainly polish their English.

　　Last but not least, people may understand different cultures better. When living and working abroad, people hava an opportunity to closely observe the local way of life, to be more exact, how people handle their daily tasks and how they do so differently between cultures. Something as simple as cutting a grape fruit could demonstrate such a difference.

　　- Whether you think the use of mobile phones for business is always positive in your country

　　这个题目有一个陷阱：always,哪里有一成不变的事情呢?所以客观的回答应该说手机在工作中大多数情况下是有用的，但是它也有一些不利于工作的地方。

　　Generally, mobile phones are quite useful in daily work. As known to all, people send text message, exchange emails and check maps on cell phones, which come in quite handy. However, I wouldn't say it is ALWAYS useful. A case in point is that when people attend meetings ,they get distracted by the messages on their cell phones, not to mention phone calls which are not urgent nor important. Besides distraction, it increases stress for cell phone users. People are on call all the time, which resulted in a dim line between life and work. By that I mean, employees are always on the work mode. Gradually, stress may lead to reduced productivity.

　　- How important you think language training will be in your country in future

　　这道题很不容易答出彩，大多数人都去说成英语的培训，而题目是讨论“语言培训”。所以，可以说中文的培训、沟通技巧、邮件、手机短信中的语言规范化等等，甚至是商务应用文的写作等等。

　　其它比较集中的问题有：

　　image, product的重音应该是Image, PROduct;

　　important 的替换词。

　　此次考试答得综合比较好的是学德语和阿拉伯语的同学，两个男生，英语专业的只有一个还比较好，其他人举例高级的要求还有些差距。总之，在我经手的14对考生中，10对左右时通过口语考试的。
