新托福iBT 口语黄金80题
1. 说出你认为对你最有用的一本书，并解释原因。

The most important book for me is Harry Potter. Yes, I am a big Harry Potter fan, and I have read the whole Harry Potter series for over ten times. Harry Potter is important for me because it enlarges my imagination when I was in my childhood. And as I grow up, I still love reading it, since Harry Potter series provide me a magical world to escape when I am bored of our real world.
2. 电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用，选择其中之一并解释原因。

In my opinion, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides. First, from the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it. And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard day’s work.
3. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life.
The most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose journalism as my major in university. You know that I dreamed to be a journalist when I was still in my high school. Although my parents rejected my choice of that, I insisted to it. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. I got the highest GPA in my grade and when I graduated from university, my dream of childhood came true.
4. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science?
I bet no one could deny that the main responsibility of a high school is to help its students develop academic abilities. But for a student himself, it is also very important to get fully educated in other fields like music and art as well as basic science. Music and art can help the students appreciate beauty in our lives and that will also increase the efficiency of their basic science study.
5. 空闲时间用来做什么?
I usually do three things to spend my spare time. The first is reading. I love reading, especially in a silent environment such as library. The second is doing sports. Every morning, I jog 3000 meters, and every weekend, I swim 2000 meters. This can make me healthier and energetic. And last thing I’d like to do when I am fr ee is to eat out with friends. You may be surprised to know that I have tried all the restaurants in our community!
6. 打手机该不该在一些地方禁止？
I definitely think that the use of a mobile phone should be forbidden in some places, for example, library. The most common reason for people going to a library is to find a silent environment to read their favorite books without interruption. But if you receive a phone call in the library or just send out messages, the mobile phone will
ring. This noise will surely interrupt others in the library. And I do not think it is very polite.
7. 描述一件自己印象深刻的celebration或者moment。

Speaking of celebrations, there is one day of the year that is second to none in our country, it is the first day of the year in lunar calendar, which is called the Spring Festival by most Chinese people. Even if you are indifferent with festive events, you can not resist the charm of a family reunion dinner which marks the defining feature of the Spring Festival. And during the dinner, family members make toasts for each other in order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year.
8. Which one acts more influence on you newspaper, TV or teachers?
I definitely think that it is newspapers that influence me most among the three. I read newspaper everyday especially the Beijing Daily which is my favorite. I learn what is happening around or outside the school all by reading newspaper. And as a student of journalism, newspaper is just like textbook for me, I learn how to write news with it. So that’s why I think it influences me most.
9. Describe a social or politics celebration events in your culture.
Speaking of social celebration in my culture, there is one day of the year that is second to none, the Chinese New Year, which is also called the Spring Festival by most Chinese People. Even if you are indifferent with festive events, you can not resist the charm of a family reunion dinner which marks the defining feature of the Spring Festival. And family members make toasts for each other in order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year.
10.政府是否应该资助建博物馆和剧院。

说出你的观点和理由。

No one could deny that the main responsibility of government is to regulate its people. But it is also very important for the government to build public utilities like museums and theatres for example. We people pay a huge amount of tax every year to the government, we do not hope they use this sum of money only to regulate us, we hope they can return some profit to us. And in my opinion, building museums and theatres is a good way of that.
11.说出你所居住的城市中你最喜欢的地方，给出原因。

My favorite place in my city is the New Oriental Restaurant. The New Oriental restaurant is the largest restaurant in our city and it provides all kinds of food, from sea food to curry, and from sushi to barbeque. Though I am a picky gourmet, the New Oriental can make me satisfy. Besides, the New Oriental is accessible by several buses and subway lines and it hence can be reached within half an hour from my home, even during rush hour. The price of the New Oriental is very reasonable and the waiters there provide well rounded service. I love the NO.
12.你和朋友在一起的时候喜欢去哪个地方？为什么？

13.你是喜欢自己在家里吃还是去外面餐馆吃？为什么？
In my opinion, I definitely prefer to eat out. After a hard day’s work I have no mood cooking for myself, and eating out with my husband is a good choice for us. We need not care where to buy the groceries and who should do the clean up. And the second reason may be more important. I am a picky gourmet, and the restaurant can provide a wide variety of food choices for me which will definitely meet my demand. So that’s why I like it.
14.你通常喜欢去什么park或者public area。

My favorite public area is the NO
15.喜欢到大城市读书还是小城市读书。

I definitely prefer to study in a big city. The most common reason for us to study is to find a good job, and there are much more job opportunities in big cities than the small town. If I study in the big cities, I can do a part time job while studying, and seize the opportunity to work there after I graduate from university. Moreover, jobs in big cities can offer more decent salary. So that’s why I think big city is more attractive for me to study.
16.杂志,小说,诗歌,喜欢哪个
I definitely prefer reading novels among the three. Especially the fairy novels like Harry Potter for example. I can spend a whole day without eating or do anything else just reading novels. It is my favorite way of relaxation in my spare time. When I am reading novels, I immerse in the world depicted in it, and this can help me escape from the real world which is boring for me.
17.喜欢一个人住还是和室友住
I definitely prefer to live alone. I like singing, and if I am in good mood I will sing a song no matter where and no matter when. But my roommate could not tolerant my songs. She prefers to a quiet environment. Moreover, I am a neat freak, I could not bear there is any dirt in my dorm room. But my roommate cares little about the tidiness in our room. She never does the clean up of our dorm room and even worse, there’s always a mess up at her area.
18.和朋友在一起，喜欢在restaurant，café还是在家
I definitely prefer to eat out in a restaurant when I’m together with my friends. As both of my parents have retired from work, they stay at home all day long. So it will not be convenient for we friends have a close chat including some secrets of us at home. More importantly, eating out at restaurant or café means we do not have to care about shopping, cooking, or cleaning up. And then we can enjoy our time more relaxed.
puter have improved our lives while others think computers have caused problems
Well, in my opinion I think computer does have more positive effects towards our lives than its negative sides. First, we can keep in touch more closely with the help of computer. For example, by using Emails or MSN, I can live messages to my friends in the United States no matter when. But before computer was invented, one have to wait nearly several months to get a letter or just a short message from
friends abroad.
20.老师的character
In my opinion, a good teacher should have the following qualities: confident and kind. The teacher should be confident both of himself and his students. Every time he walks in the classroom, he should bring a strong feeling of authority, and makes his students feel a definite sense of trust. And the teachers should be kind to his students. If a teacher is too strict, his students would be afraid to ask questions, and that will decrease the efficiency of their study.
21.是说愿意在办公室工作还是在家工作，为什么。

I definitely prefer to work at home. I like to burn the night oil, and get up late in the morning. So I am always late for work. Even worse, I usually feel tired during the day, and I could not concentrate on what I am handling with. If I can choose to work at home, this kind of thing can be avoided. I can manage my work at night when I am more energetic. Besides, working in office means you must wear something formal, but I don’t like that. If I can choose to work at h ome, I can manage the work in my pajamas. HAHA…
22.说一个你敬佩的人的好性格
I will introduce Mr. Jackson to you. You will be surprised to find that he is our sales manager, for his rigorous habit of reasoning makes him more like an engineer. Yet he is not a boring person, for his smart jokes always cheer us up at difficult times. Mr. Jackson is widely regarded as a low key player though he plays an important role in our company. Sure he is and that’s why we all feel it a pleasure to work with him and to get along with him as personal friends. You can not help being attracted by his magnetic personality which seems contagious to people around him.
23.大学是应该向所有人开放还是只对一部分学生开放
I definitely think that the university should be open to all students. I bet no one could deny that the responsibility of a university is to help as many students as it can to develop their academic abilities and be well prepared for their further careers. It is a right for every student who needs education to enter into universities no matter he/she is rich or poor. The more well-educated students the universities produce, the fast speed of development our society will have.
24.Whether parents should lead their children to watch TV or the children should choose
25.The most efficient transportation in your country。

You may be surprised to find that the most efficient transportation in our country is bike. As one of the widest country in the world, there are many provinces which locate on highland that do not fit to drive a car because the roads there are too dangerous. And in the cities of prairie, there are usually traffic jams especially during rush hours. So riding a bike becomes the most efficient transportation in my country.
26.说近100年最important的invention之一
Well, in my opinion the most important invention of the last 100 years is mobile phone. The fist reason for why I choose it is that, by using a mobile phone, the
distance between one another is significantly shortened. For example, I can send messages or make a phone call to connect with my boy friend in Shanghai which is 1400 miles away from here in Beijing no matter when and no matter where. But before mobile phone was invented, I have to wait several days at least to get some information for him.
27.attend college是否比不读college容易successful in career ,why?
I definitely agree to statement that attending college will make one more successful in career. Attending college means you can get well-educated in a certain area. And the education will make you fully prepared for your future career. Besides, when you graduate from the college, you can receive a degree, which is very important to get a decent pay. Even if you are over qualified for your job position, the boss has a good reason to give you a relatively low salary because you do not have a certification from college.
28.Characteristics of friends;
In my opinion a good friend should have the following qualities: confident and caring. As an only child in my family, I rely on others very much. I need my friend to bring me confidence. Every time my friend appears in front of me, I hope he/she can bring a strong feeling of authority which makes me feel a strong sense of trust. Then he/she should be very caring. When I am suffering hard times, or confronting difficulties, he/she can give me a hand and help me overcome the troubles.
29.Someone suggests school to cut the Recycling
30.你是愿意当leader还是当follower
Of course, I would like to be the leader. I think I am a born leader because of two reasons. First I am good at communicating with others. That is very important to lead a team with many complex troubles. With my splendid communication skills, I can make the atmosphere among my team members very harmonious. And second, I do not like to be regulated by others, so the only way to get rid of this status is to be the leader and regulate others myself.
31.Which one do you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books?
In my opinion, I think it is internet that helps us more while doing research. It could help you save a lot of time by using internet. For example, with a click on the button of your mouse, you can get maybe ten thousand pages of useful information from the search engine google. The click takes you only a split of second. But if you want to get the same amount of information by reading academic books, I bet it will take you at least several months.
32.人是被电视，报纸，广播上的信息影响得多，还是家人朋友得影响多
Well, in my opinion, it is my family members and friends who influence me most. The information provided by newspaper, TV, radio or other formats of media can just let us know what has happened. But speaking of how to deal with it, we need more specific suggestions. Family members and friends can offer us this kind of information as they are the ones who know us most besides ourselves. They can give us adequate help.
33.理想的职业
In my opinion, the most ideal career for me is to be a journalist. You know what? I have dreamed to be a journalist since I was still in middle school. Journalist never tells lies, and always seeks for truths. I want to be a man like that. Besides, I often feel shy when I am talking to others, and as I know journalists are all good at communicating because good communication skill is very important while they’re doing interviews. I want to possess this kind of skill myself, so that’s why I want to be a journalist as an ideal career.
34.Take a long vacation or several short vacations in a year?
Well, in my opinion, I definitely prefer to take a long vacation instead of several short ones. If the vacation is as long as about one month, I can separate it into two parts. In the first part, I will go abroad, visiting my dreaming park Disney Land for example. When I get back, I still have one or two weeks to have a rest before go back to work. So I would not be very tired and keep energetic while working.
35.What do you think are the characteristics of a good parent?
Well, in my opinion, a good parent should be well-educated and patient. It’s said that parents are the first and most important teacher for children. So a parent should be well-educated, otherwise, how could he/she deal with the tutoring? Secondly, everybody knows that to feed a baby is a time-consuming work, it needs great patience. If they are not patient enough, the baby would hurt itself. And leave
a scar in forehead for example, that’ll be a disaster for him when he grows up.
36.Do you prefer to study alone on work assignment from class or to study in group?
Well, in my opinion, I would prefer to study in a group on work assignment from class. Working in a group means I will have partners to cooperate with. The work will be separated into several parts while working in a group and each of us is only responsible of our own part, and that will decrease our workload and increase the efficiency. Besides, when I confront difficulties while studying I can discuss with my p artners. So that’s why I prefer to be in a group.
37.你的目标是什么
To tell you the truth, my aim is to be a journalist as my future career. And I have partly achieved it. You know what, I have dreamed to be a journalist since I was still in the middle school. And then I chose journalism as my major in university though may parents strongly opposed to that. During my studies in the university, I worked hard and practiced as much as I could. Yesterday afternoon, a received a phone call. It was from China Daily which is one of the most famous newspaper in my country . They provided me an offer to be a journalist in their newspaper!
38.描述一次challenging experience，以及如何解决这个challenge
Many years have passed, but till today, I still could not forget the challenging experience when I found my first job as a journalist. You know I dreamed to be a journalist when I was in my childhood. And I went to study journalism in a university because of that. But when I graduated, I found it was very difficult for a female to be a journalist nowadays, for the job is really a tough one. But I overcame it by proving I could tolerant the tough work as a man then I got it.
39.应该选择工作好找的专业还是应该选择自己感兴趣的专业
I surely prefer to choose a major which is easy to find a good job in the future, like finance or management for example. No one could deny that the most common reason for us to study in a university is to get well prepared for a good job in the future. So whether or not it will lead to a good job, should be put into the first place when we choose our major. If I find a good job with decent payment, I can use the money we have earned from it to satisfy my interests then.
40.喜欢看那种电影,为什么:Comedy, drama…
My favorite kind of movie is loving movies. The charming actors such as Hugh Grant or Brad Pit are the most attractive factor for me to fancy at the loving movies. And the second reason may be more important. Watching this kind of loving movies is just like reading a text book which teaches me how to love and be loved. Moreover, the recent loving movies are always we girls favorite topics when we get together and have a gossip. I do not want to be out of date when we are talking about things like that.
41.What will you do to relax yourself?
42.Is it important for students to attend class regularly or study by oneself?
I do not think it is necessary for students to attend class regularly. If a student is good at math but poor at English, in my opinion, he/she should skip some of the math classes and using the extra time improving his/her English. Moreover, some students can not concentrate in classroom because it is very noisy with too many students in it. For them, studying in a library on their own would be more efficient. If they have any questions, they could solve them simply by asking professors during office hours face to face.
43.Describe an enjoyable event in your childhood
44.描述一个你参加过的学校
I will introduce one of the schools I have attended. That is the New Oriental School. The New Oriental was founded by Yu Minhong over ten years ago. The aim of the school is to help students get high score in the Tofle or GRE test which permit them to go abroad and take a further study more easily. The New Oriental has a powerful faculty and subsidiary schools throughout the country. It helps me a lot really. 45.学校应不应该在普通课程中加入Sport courses?
No one could deny that the most important responsibility of a university is to help its students develop their academic abilities. And being healthy is the prerequisite for students to achieve their academic goals. So attending sports courses into the university’s education program is very important. Besides, doing sports is a good way to relax after a hard day’s work with lab research or papers for students. That will help increase the efficiency of their study.
46.What do you miss most when you are away from home?
It is my mother whom I miss most when I am away from home, for example, study in the university which is 1400 miles away from my born city of Beijing. The dishes in school's cafeteria is awful, and I become 3 kilograms thinner than I was in the high school. So I miss the food my mother cooks for me, especially spegattis which is her signature dishes.
47.人们往往认为应该在危急时刻帮助别人，但另一种观点认为你首先应该看清
楚情况
48.Describe a special opportunity given to you.
Many years have passed, but till today, I still could not forget the special opportunity I have received. It was a rainy afternoon, when I was watching TV in my dorm room, I received a phone call. The man in the phone asking me whether I was still looking for a job? I replied yes. And he then told me that he had read my resume on the internet and could provide me a job as manager secretary in their company with a salary of 3000 yuan per month, I was really surprised by that! 49.good leader应有哪些qualities？
In my opinion, a good leader should have the following qualities: confident and kind. The leader should be confident both of himself and his fellow members. Every time he walks in the working group, he should bring a strong feeling of authority, and makes his students feel a definite sense of trust. And the leader should be kind to his fellow members. If a leader is too strict, his fellow members would be afraid to ask questions, and that will decrease the efficiency of their work.
50.同不同意People should always tell the truth.
I definitely agree to the statement that people should always tell the truth. You know what I dream to be a journalist as my future career. And everybody knows that journalist should never tell lies and always seek for truths. Once a journalist tells lies, he will never be trusted again, and that is lethal for him, he might not be a journalist any more.
51.Describe an object which is very important to you.
Teddy bear.
52.Do you agree that we can judge a person by the appearance at the first glance?
I don't think I will agree to the statement that one can judge a person simply by the appearance at the first glance. For example, at the first sight of my sales manager, I got really impressed by his professionalism reflected by the way he dressed, especially the navy blue color which is always my favorite. But several weeks passed, I found out that he knew nothing except apple-polishing. And you know what, our boss is a middle aged woman! She loves our sales manager, so that’s why he get this position.
53.如果有机会你会选择job or career?
Journalist
54.若果有一大笔钱，你会做practise thing or happy thing?
If I have a large amount of money I will use them doing my favorite things, like buying books to read, or going abroad visiting my dreamed park Disneyland. I am a journalist and my work is very hard and stressful. To tell you the truth, I have no weekends. It is true that practice makes perfect, but one cannot keep practicing no matter when. So if I got a lot of money I will quit my job and have a good rest with it doing things I like.
55.学生放假应该做些什么？
No one could deny that the main responsibility of a student is to get well prepared
for the entering exam to university. But as it is vacation, the students should definitely have a good rest. For example, they should do anything they like but have no time to do during the semester. Like watch TV, play basketball, volleyball, football, and so on. If the students relaxed well, they can be more efficient in the next term and get better scores in the final exam.
56.描述一件童年很happy的event，然后explain why it is memorable
Teddy bear
municate with your family and friends by letter and e-mail or by telephone?
Well, I definitely prefer to communicate with my family and friends by writing letters among the three. Writing is a habit of mine. In the letters I could express myself more deeply and clearly compared with the other two methods. And writing letters could help me practice my calligraphy. I have learned calligraphy since I was still in primary school. And everybody knows that practice makes perfect. So I write with my pen as much as I could.
58.Favorite time of a year
My favorite time of the year is the Spring Festival. It is the Chinese New Year, which is on the first day of the year in lunar calendar. Even if I am indifferent with festive events, I could not resist the charm of a family reunion dinner which marks the defining feature of the Spring Festival. During the dinner, family members make toasts to each other in order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year. That’s my fa vorite time of a year.
59.Have a relaxed and unhurried life, yes or no?
I definitely agree to the statement that one should have a relaxed and unhurried life. Even though we must work hard in order to make our dreams come true, it is not a good idea to be exhsausted every day. We Chinese have an old saying, life is like a bow, sometimes tight and sometimes loose, or it will break. Only relaxation could let one have a good rest, which will definitely increase one's efficiency when he/she is back to work.
60.Favorite room
My favorite room in my house is my bedroom. When you enter my bedroom you will find yourself in a palace of toys and surrounded by an irresistible aroma of lavender. There are many pictures of famous movie stars hanging on the walls of my bedroom, reflecting my superb taste of films. At the sight of my bedroom, I bet all your senses will be brightened up in an instant and the background music which is often jazz in my bedroom will also make you long for a lifetime stay there.
61.在旅行时，有些人喜欢直接到达目的地，有些人却喜欢沿途一路上观光。

Well, in my opinion, I prefer to go straightly to my destination. The reason I would like to talk about is that, I think it will be a waste of time if you see here and there on the road of your journey. If we go directly to our aim area, we can quickly change to another one and then another else. Secondly, going straight to our destination can save money for us. If we wonder about on the road, it will definitely take many oil, and you know the price of oil is growing day by day, we could not afford such large amount of expense.
62.当你去restaurant或cafe得时候最care about的features有那些
You may be surprised to know that the feature I care most about a restaurant of café is its location. The location of it should be in a place which has several buses and subway lines. So I can get there within half an hour from any part of the city even during rush hour. In case there is no convenient public transportation or free shuttle bus which picks me up near my home, they should provide sufficient parking space at least. Then I can drive my own car there.
63.城市建设中应该保持old building呢还是应该用new building replace old building
I will never agree to let new buildings replace old ones in my city. Do you know which city I live in? Beijing! One of the most acient cities in China. And there are many world famous old buildings locating in my city. For example, the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden city and so on. They are the most attractive factors for tourists throughout the world come to visit our city. And these old buildings preserve the history of China for us.
64.Get advice from family and friends or learning through personal experience In my opinion, I would defintely prefer to take advices from my family and friends rather than listen to myself. Family members like my parents are the most intimate person in my life, they know me even better than myself sometimes. And my parents love me so much that what they suggest is always from my perspective, which will do no harm to me. As my friends for example, my classmates, all have similar experience with me, they would guide me to avoid some horrible circumstance they have faced. These would be much better than try everything myself according to my own experience.
65.Do you agree or disagree: Students should wear uniform. in school?
I definitely agree to the statement that students should wear uniform in school. The school uniform is usually neat and tidy. It could provide an unified image of the school. And if the students have some activities outside school like taking a picnic for instance, uniform allows the teacher to recognize his/her students much easier. Besides wearing uniform will avoid the comparison among students about clothes. So that the students could be more concentrate on studies.
66.你选择online courses还是traditional courses
In my opinion, I prefer traditional courses better. In the spring of 2003, when SARS attacked our city, we students were not allowed to gather in a classroom taking lessons, on-line course is our only choice. And I found it really boring and tedious. My only teacher and partner is the cold computer without any emotions. If I do not understand the text pretty well, I have no one to ask for help. The computer could answer some typical questions, which seldom satisfied me. But on the other hand, attending traditional courses means we have teachers to interact and classmates to discuss or cooperate with. You cannot imagine how much I missed my teacher and classmates those days.
67.Subject which will lead to better job or subject which you are interested.
I will definitely choose a major which will lead to a better job in the future. I bet the most common reason for us attending university is to find a good job with bright。
