2002 TEM4 Oral English Test Paper
Task I: Listen to the recorded passage twice and then retell it.

Whenever Mr. Smith goes to Westgate, he stays at the Grand Hotel. In spite of its name, it
is really not very
manager well, he never has to go to the trouble of reserving a room. The fact is that he
always gets the same room. It is situated at the far end of the building and overlooks a
beautiful bay.

On his last visit, Mr. Smith was told that he could have his usual room, but the manager
added apologetically that it might be a little noisy. So great was the demand for rooms, the
manager said, that the hotel had decided to build a new wing. Mr. Smith said he did not
mind. It amused him to think that the dear old Grand Hotel was making an effort to live up
to its name.

During the first day Mr. Smith hardly noticed the noise at all. The room was a little dusty,
but that was natural. The following afternoon, he borrowed a book from the hotel library
and went upstairs to read. No sooner had he sat down than he heard someone hammering
loudly at the wall. At first he paid no attention, but after a while he began to feel very
uncomfortable. His clothes were slowly being covered with fine white powder. Soon there
was so much dust in the room that he began to cough. The hammering was now louder
than ever and bits of plaster were coming away from the walls. It looked as though the
whole building was going to fall. Mr. Smith went immediately to complain to the manager.
They both returned to the room, but everything was very quiet. As they stood there looking
at each other, Mr. Smith felt rather embarrassed for having dragged the manager all the
way up the stairs for nothing. All of a sudden, the hammering began again and a large brick
landed on the floor. Looking up, they saw a sharp metal tool had forced its way through the
wall, making a very large hole right above the bed! (355 words)

（录音原文）
A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began,
wordlessly he picked up a large empty glass jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks
about 2 inches in diameter. He then asked the students if it was full. They agreed that it was. The
professor then picked a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly, the
pebbles of course rolled into the open spaces between the rocks. The students laughed. He asked the
students again if the jar was full. They agreed: ‘Yes, it was.’ The professor then picked up a box of sand
and poured it into the jar. Of course the sand filled up all the remaining space. ‘Now,’ said the professor, ‘I
want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things, your family, your partner,
your health, your children, anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you will be destroyed.
The pebbles are the other things in life that matter but on a smaller scale. The pebbles represent things
like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else, the small staff. If you put the sand and pebbles into the jar first, there is no
room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. It you spent all your energy and time on the small staff
or material things; you will never have room for the things that are truly most important. Pay attention to
the things that are critical in your life, play with your children, take your partner out dancing, talk with
your parents. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the
disposal. Take care of the rocks fist, the things that are really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is
just pebbles and sand. They will take care of themselves. ’ (331 words)

2003 TEM4 Oral English Test Paper

Task I: Listen to the recorded passage twice and then retell it.

Just as Jane was joyfully expecting her first child, her active,
energetic mother began losing her battle with a brain disease. For ten
years, the fiercely independent and courageous mother had fought, but none
of the surgeries or treatments had been successful. At only fifty- five,
she became totally disabled-unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her
own.

As the mother grew closer and closer to death, the baby grew closer and
closer to life. Jane was afraid that her mother and her baby would never
know each other. Her fear seemed well- founded. A few weeks before her due
date, her mother lapsed into a deep coma. The doctors did not hold any
hope. It was useless to put in a feeding tube, they said, for Mother would
never awaken. So Jane brought Mother to her own bed in her own house. As
