What is the most important thing for a country’s leader to assure the prosperity of the country?1) Creating more jobs for unemployed worker2) Increasing agriculture and lowering the food price3) Increasing access to affordable houseThe leaders of a country have no shortage of difficult decisions to make. For example, should they lead their countryto success by creating jobs, by promoting agriculture, or by ensuring housing is affordable? Leaders should certainly invest into all of those options, but I believe that the government should use most of its resources to lower the cost of housing.Ensuring low cost housing is better than creating more jobs because creating government jobs is only a Band-Aid solution. It offers a temporary solution, not a permanent one. If there’s a lack of jobs, then that’s a sign that the economy is hurting. If that’s the case, then low-cost housing would actually help more than the government creating unnecessary jobs. As the cost of housing comes down, people will have more disposable income. Businesses will grow, and thus will provide more jobs. It’s a win-win scenario.Similarly, lowering the cost of housing is also better than promoting agriculture in order to reduce the cost of food. While it is true that everyone must eat, it’s also true that everyone must live somewhere. The difference is that a country’s citizens must live in housing within that country, but they don’t need to eat food that comes from that country. These days, we import a large portion of our food from other countries. If a country’s agriculture isn’t providing enough food, then perhaps that country’s land just isn’t ideal for agriculture and it would be a waste of money to attempt to force more agriculture to happen. A better solution would be to focus on the problem it can fix: housing.Meanwhile, reducing the cost of housing is a realistic goal for a country to tackle, and it has long-term benefits that produces a natural boost to the economy. Housing takes up thelargest chunk of most people’s paycheck. For example, we learned in my personal finance class that people should expect to pay between 20% to 30% of their monthly salary on housing. With lower housing costs, people would be able to survive with a lower-end job. People would be able to afford imported food. The economy would improve because people would have more money to spend. This is the solution the government should focus on.In the end, government leaders should invest in the success of the country in every way they can. However, I think investment in lowering the cost of housing will bring the best results.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Success in school and work, the ability to adapt or adjust to a changing condition or circumstance is more important than having excellent knowledge of a job or in a field of study. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.Nowadays, employers are highly selective: requiring employees to have both academic proficiency and social flexibility. Hence, to increase your chances of getting a desired job, having the ability to adapt to a changing condition is as important as having excellent knowledge of a job or in a field of study. Academic data being equal, the ability to reduce conflict and increase participation is a decisive factor that contributes to your career success.To begin with, the ability to reduce conflict in school and work is partly the course of socialization going beyond the school curriculum. Whereas excellence in any field of study is essential, your success in work depends not only on academicknowledge but also on how to adjust to a changing circumstance. Therefore, it is advisable to learn to be able to adjust to a rather conflicting society because this kind of social flexibility can facilitate your interaction with other people. In other words, communicating respect for potential friends and mates is instrumental to avoiding conflict, particularly in the workplace. In reality, the process of learning this skill begins in school, in both verbal and non-verbal ways. It may be said that without acquiring the ability to reduce conflict, you may run the risk of becoming what is called a social ineptitude, far away from the spirit of teamwork.In certain respects, the success in school and work is a matter of the behaviorism to get flexible in social participation. Thus, you are supposed to learn to be as agreeable and acceptable as need be, mainly through taking part in (without intruding into) a variety of social activities, verbally as well as non-verbally. Verbally, you can increase participation by using the skill to say the right thing at the right time in the right place. It is because positive participation implies your good skill in listening as much as speaking. Similarly, in a non-verbal manner, you can increase participation by doing the right thing at the right time in the right place. In short, you had better adapt yourself to a changing condition or circumstance and behave correspondingly in the right behavior.Finally, worthy of mentioning is that, although socialization may differ from culture to culture, the rules are invariably related to skills to help reduce conflict and increase participation in school and work. Not underestimatingthe importance of having excellent knowledge of a job or in a field of study, you ought to also learn those essential social skills to become successful in life. Academic proficiency and social flexibility should not be considered as something like black and white, you may just as well think that the job market is largely in the color of grey.托福写作的字数都有什么讲究新托福作文需要行文不啰嗦,〔句子〕应越短越好,假如一个字能说清晰的,就不要用两个字。
新托福口语真经
iBT中国大陆06、07年口语考试内容06.9.151.Choose one of your favorite methods to relax and explain why it is your favorite. Please include specific details in your explanation.2.Some college students prefer to attend classes regularly because they believe that only in the class atmosphere can they focus on the reading. Others, however, believe that the best reading can only be done outside the classroom. Which reading method do you think is better and why?3.Reading passage:Student Health Center CancellationThe university has decided to cancel the student health center on campus. The reason is that a new hospital has been opened recently in the local community. Because the new hospital is very close to the campus end most students can have convenient access to it, and also because the new hospital comes with a lot of first-class medical equipment, which the student health center lacks, the student health center‟s existence is not justified anymore. Also, the money saved by canceling the student health center will be used to amplify the library storage.The woman expresses her opinion of the school‟s cancellation of the student health center. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. 4.Reading passage:False ConsensusSocial-psychologists point out that many people, when acting among others, tend to believe that their thought represents the ideas of the majority in the population, or at least, they feel at ease because their opinions don‟ t contradict those of the mainstream. Ironically, revealed by recent studies, this feeling of “consensus” is not true.On the contrary, though many people comfortably assume that their opinion is as common as every others‟ will be, their points sometimes can differ greatly or evenoppose each other. This attention-grabbing social-psychological discovery is called “False Consensus”.The professor takes an example to demonstrate “False Consensus”. Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.5.The man discusses two possible solutions to the woman‟s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.6.Now listen to part of a biology lecture.Using the points and examples from the lecture, explain how a newly-brought-in plant can be harmful to the local system.06.10.81.Everyone has to leave home sometimes. What do you miss the most when you are away from home? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation, 2.Some students prefer the internet-based teaching. Others prefer to study in traditional classrooms. Which method of studying do you prefer and why?3.Reading passage:Adding Evening ClassesThe school computer lab has planned to add a few evening classes to its opening schedule. Usually, the computer lab only opens from 9am to 5pm on weekdays. Nevertheless, because of the rapid increase of student numbers in recent years and the limited seats of the computer lab, it has become progressively difficult to meet each student‟s requirements. Therefore, in order to be able to serve the students better, the administrators have decided to add evening classes in the computer lab from 6pm to 9pm, Monday to Friday.The man expresses his opinion of the university‟s plan. Stale his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage;Nonverbal LanguagesNonverbal languages refer to human emotional expressions without involving verbal statements. Facial expressions and body movements are the two mostly attributed types of nonverbal languages.It is generally believed that nonverbal languages function as the enhancement of emotional expressions when they consist with verbal languages. However, under the circumstances that nonverbal languages and verbal languages contradict in thecontents they express, nonverbal languages are more likely to release peoples‟ true emotions.The professor takes two examples to illustrate the theory of “Nonverbal Languages”. Explain how the examples are related to the reading passage.5.The woman discusses two possible solutions to the man‟s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.6.Now listen to part of an art lecture.Using the points and examples from the lecture, explain how the examples of colors and textures demonstrate the effects of visual elements on viewers.06.10.151.Everyone has a goal to fulfill.

Usually, all first-year students are highly recommended to take the two-day hiking trip orientation as part of the school tradition. However, the school authorities have made the decision of replacing the two-day hiking trip with a new orientation consisting of only one-day hiking or a one-day game. Either of them is available to first-year students, depending on each individual‟s choice. By composing this major adjustment, the school is reasoning that freshmen students may be more willing to welcome a short orientation and also the new orientation is easier for students to make their individual choice.The man expresses his opinion of the university‟s plan. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Diffusion of ResponsibilityDiffusion of responsibility is a social-psychological phenomenon which tends to occur in groups of people above a certain critical size when responsibility is not explicitly assigned.Normally, people would feel responsible for lending hands to others in emergency. However, sometimes, they may also fail to respond to obvious urgent situations, when their responsibility is not clearly assigned and they have reasons to believe that some other people will certainly help out. This is called diffusion of responsibility.The professor takes two examples to illustrate the phenomenon of “Diffusion of Responsibility”. Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.5.The woman discusses two possible solutions to the man‟s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.6.Now listen to part of a biology lecture.Using the points and examples from the lecture, explain how the example of thunder-birds and drought demonstrates the effect of climate changes on animal.06.10.211.What kind of qualities should a good leader possess?

More often, ii remains empty. Secondly, even during the period of exhibition, few students pay a visit to the gallery.The man expresses his opinion of the university‟s plan. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Self-fulfilling PropheciesThe self-fulfilling prophecy is a psychological phenomenon whereby a person believes something to be true, acts on that belief and by his actions causes the beliefto become true eventually.Normally, people all live under certain expectations from others. Once an individual accepts the social expectations toward him as true and realistic, he will first take these social beliefs and then formulate them into his own confidence. After that, he starts to respond to his beliefs by taking practical actions. Finally, the social expectations on the individual become true, as a result of his continual efforts.The professor takes an example to illustrate the phenomenon of “Self-fulfilling Prophecies”. Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.5.The woman discusses two possible solutions to the man‟s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explainwhy.6.Now listen to part of an economy lecture.Please State the major points in the lecture.

Actually, Southern University, the university located in another state, faced a similar situation a few years ago. However, what they did was to establish an internet question website, which provided answers to simple health questions from students. Since many simple health problems had been solved successfully through the internet, students visiting the school health center soon found out that they didn‟t‟ t have to wait in long lines like before. Thus, the fund raised up by our university to build a new health center could instead be used to establish an internet question website.The woman expresses her opinion of the student‟s proposal about how to utilize the health fund. State her onion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Bridge ShiftingBridge shifting is a movie-making technique which helps movie makers to switch between different scenes. Applicators of this skill intentionally skip certain time slots orspatial distances to shorten the overall film length.Despite the omitting of quite a few pictures, the director‟s train of thought would still be clear and comprehensible to movie viewers. This is because the scenes left outfrom the film could be accordingly compensated by the viewers‟ daily experiences, if proper guidance is offered.The professor takes two examples to illustrate the movie-making skill of “Bridge Shifting”.

Which way of living do you think is better for students and why?3.Reading passage:Apartments off CampusThe university has planned to build off-campus apartments in local communities.

Secondly, students dwelling off campus usually have better chances to increase their daily communication with local communities, which is essential for their social experience and future job hunting.The woman expresses her opinion of the university‟s plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Actor ObservationActor observation is a psychological description of the fact that people tend to give different attributors toward the same conduct, when they themselves play roles in the action and when they do not.Normally, people would attribute others‟ misbehaviors to inner factors, such as personality defects. Whereas, when the same misdeeds are theirs to blame for, they are more likely to attribute them to external factors, such as environmental pressuresOut of control.The professor takes an example to illustrate the phenomenon of “Actor Observation”.

Which approach to knowing people do you think is better and why?3.Reading passage:A New Art BuildingThe university has decided to construct a new art building to help advance the office and teaching facilities of the arts department. This is because the school administrators are reasoning that the current art building was designed half a century ago and it no longer meets today‟s requirement. In addition, since the neighboring universities all have developed their new art buildings one or two years ago, the school authorities believe it may also help to attract upcoming arts students as soon as the new construction is accomplished.The woman expresses her opinion of the university‟s plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Quoting Out of ContextNormally, advertisers attract peoples‟ attention by honestly introducing the properties and advantages of their products, such as revealing the high performance or particular functions of a certain machine.However, sometimes advertisers may also desire less honest techniques in drawing peoples‟ interest. One of these dishonest promotion skills is called “quoting out of context”, which is to say: quoting only a few words from famous reviewers‟ remarks in order to misguide the listeners. Having been cut off from their former contexts, quotations normally distort the original meanings of what the reviewers intended toexpress.The professor takes an example to illustrate the phenomenon of “Quoting out of Context”. Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.5.The woman discusses two possible solutions to the man‟s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.6.Now listen to part of a science and technology lecture.Using the points and examples from the lecture, explain the two ways in which discoveries and inventions are made in human history.06.11.031.Which is your favorite type of movie: action, drama or others? Please include specific details and examples in your explanation.2.Some universities provide physical education. Others believe that physical education is not necessary. What do you think and why‟?3.Reading passage:Postponement of the ElectionThe university has determined to postpone the student union election. Normally, the election of the student union is carried out every May as part of the school tradition. However, the coming election of this year will be held on September instead, because the school authorities have noticed that many students become fully involved with their finals and graduations on May. Therefore, rearranging the election to September could encourage more students to vote. Furthermore, since many new students are expected to be coming by September, they will also be given the chance to vote for their favorite candidates.The man expresses his opinion towards the university‟s plan. State his opinion and ex plain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Buyer’s RemorseBuyer‟s remorse refers to an interesting phenomenon mostly observed in customer services. This feeling generally comes out after the buying decision has been made, or even after the purchase is technically done. When it happens, the consumer suddenly feels regretful about the transaction for no apparent reasons.Therefore, several techniques have been accordingly developed in customer services to handle buyer‟s remorse.

托福口语高效备考攻略(精选)
1.托福口语高效备考攻略托福口语考试既有根据问题回答问题的独立口语,也有听读说结合的综合口语,如何才能在口语考试中拿到高分呢?需要大家在练习中注意把握备考重点,学会高效备考。
1、创造语言环境“自言自语法”练习中,可以随心所欲地创造语言环境。
可以在任何时候、的任何地方采取适当的语速和音调。
2、模考练习采用“自言自语法”提高自己的英语口语能力要学会模仿。
模仿的原则:一要大声模仿。
二要仔细模仿。
优美的语音、的语调不是短期模仿所能达到的,需要有耐心,有信心,有恒心,不能有任何松懈,要相信自己完全有能力模仿得更好。
3、练习材料需要精挑细选托福口语备考的时候,建议考生有目的的选择你所说的材料,开始的时可以练习小故事,语言尽量的简单,生动,有明确的细节,这样对于把握语言的连贯性有好处,对于托福口语的提高也有着很重要的意义。
4、句型练习提升很重要很多考生觉得语法在考试中考的越来越少了,就不重视句型的练习,其实这是不对的,句型在最能直接反应说话的应用单位的,口语的培养就必须要抓句型的。
在自己在说英语的时候要带上手势,动作和表情,虽然说语言是人们交流的重要工具,但是不是的工具,说话带上手势,动作和表情的话给人又是另一种感觉。
5、练习复述打好综合口语基础当你阅读完一篇文章的时候,要用自己的话在复述一遍,刚开始的时候,你的复述中允许自己带点中文,但是还是要尽量能背诵下来,考生也可以在复述的过程中用文中出现的关键词或部分句型,作为复述的线索,辅助自己较完整的复述所读材料。
还可以听磁带或是可能视影片后在复述,这种办法既能提高听力又能练习口语,还可以矫正自己的语调和语音。
6、讲话内容要充实考生说话要有感染力,你所说话能给别人带去一种什么样的感情,要是总是一个语调说话,跟机器人没有什么区别。
托福口语高效备考攻略就为大家介绍到这里,其实托福口语主要考察大家的口语表达能力和总结归纳能力,所以大家在平时练习中要学会创造语言环境,根据口语考试要求来练习。

Sample answer:The reading passage introduces a theory that animals hide their food to prevent it being found by others. In the listening, the professor uses an example to explain the theory. Squirrels always hide their nuts to store them for cold weather. They hide the food to different places. They dig holes, and place the food in all of them. Then squirrels dig the hole containing the least food more times than others. In this way, the squirrels want other animals to believe this hole contains all their food so that they can keep the other food away from other species.Task4阅读:名词解释:Psychological risk听力:说某个公司卖一辆sporty style car,打的广告是这车能跑的很快,但后来发现有的人担心这车对环境污染严重,所以不想买,实际上,这车是很环保的。
托福口语机经(答案)
Describe one way of life in your country that has been changed and why it is beneficialDo you like to prepare for something in the beginning or wait just before the due date?What did you learn in your childhood?Some people like to have a tight schedule while others prefer to have a lot of free time. What about you?Describe a person who always makes you laugh. Explain why the person is funny. Include details and examples in your explanation.Some people prefer to live in a place most of their life. Other people prefer to move to different places. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.Talk about something you wanted to do but never had time to do yet. Describe the details and explain the reason.Do you prefer to do couples of small assignments or one or two big assignments?Among the following three types of books – mystery, science fiction and biography,which do you like the least? Explain why.Do you like to travel alone or with your family members? Explain your answer with details and examples.What kind of activity do you enjoying doing most at school? Explain why you enjoy doing this activity.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Artists (painters, musicians, etc.) are born and not taught.Describe a skill you have that you want to improve. Describe the details of what you will do to improve it.Do you agree or disagree the following statement: Advertising has too much influence on what people buy.What suggestions would you give to a friend who wants to improve his/her score in class?Well, I think there are many ways that h/she can make use of to enhance his/her academic performance. He can join a study group where h/she can ask other group members for clarifying difficult points. I would also advise him to preview what the professor is going to discuss the next day and review what the professor has taught. That way he/she will understand better the teaching content and the knowledge will retain much longer. Also make full use of the office hours, if he/she encounters difficulties, the professor is always glad to offer a helping hand.Some people like to purchase books from a book store while others like to borrow books from the library. Which do you prefer and why?I prefer buying books to borrowing books. True, borrowing books can save you a lot of money and you can get almost any book, even the latest releases if you are willing to wait or join a queue. However, you have to return it on time even if you have not finished it. However, by buying the book, you can read it wherever you want and whenever you want, and once you have read it, you can lend it to friends and family or even give it as a gift. Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books.Is it beneficial for students to have computers at school?In my opinion, the computer is an essential tool for students both in their studies and their life. For example, the other day, my English teacher assigned a project. With the help of my computer, I found a lot of useful information and made several neat PPT slides to facilitate my presentation. Through computers, students can complete school assignments or even take online courses. Besides, computers can serve as a medium for students to communicate by sending and receiving E-mails and instant messages. Furthermore, with computers, students can access the internet to find information about news, weather, sports and products, to listen to or watch television, movies or radio, making purchases or even finding jobs. Therefore, the computer is a must for students.Would you keep on expressing your honest opinions, even if you know that they will not be approved by others?I will voice my opinion even when I am aware that others might disagree with it cause it’s my right as an independent individual to communicate how I feel about a particular subject. Disagreement will show my individuality and make others respect me. Someone who just concurs with whatever others say will go nowhere. What’s more, by clearly expressing my own thoughts I can hone my debating and communicative skills as well as critical and logical thinking.Talk about a recent event or celebration you went to. Do you think that everyone who went there had a good time?I recently attended my cousin’s wedding ceremony. My cousin is an engineer who is now living and working in the U.S. It was really a grand occasion. All the relatives including my 90 year old grandpa were present. I guess there must be over a hundred people. We had a magnificent dinner at a restaurant. During the dinner we talked, proposed toasts to each other. There were traditional opera performances to watch. I guess everybody was having a good time except my aunt and uncle. The reason is that my cousin is their only son and after the wedding he’d have to back to the States, therefore my aunt and uncle won’t get to see him very often.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sixteen-year-old people are not mature enough to drive.In my opinion sixteen-year-olds are way too young to drive without supervision. After all, they are still high school students, they tend be reckless, always looking for fun and excitement. That might lead to accidents. Also, I recently read a news report that suggested that the teen brain — the part that weighs risks, makes judgments and controls impulsive behavior is not developed enough. Therefore, they are generally not ready to face thelife-threatening risks that drivers can encounter behind the wheel.Of the following three professions, which one do you think is the most important for society: primary school teacher, nurse or artist?It is my considered opinion that of the three professions listed, primary school teachers contributed most to society and are therefore the most important. First of all, it is likely that a person may not attend college or even secondary school; however, most people attend primary school to receive basic education, so primary school teachers influence most people’s lives. What’s more, primary school teachers play an important role in developing a child’s intellect and work habits. Primary school is the first time most children are in a strictly educational environment. While pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes do teach children some basic skills and knowledge, such as shapes and colors, primary school immerses children in the educational environment they will be experiencing until graduation from high school.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People under 18 years old are not mature enough to vote.I think that 18 is a suitable age at which individuals have the necessary capacity to independently decide how to cast a vote. First of all, at 18, most people have finished their high school, which means they are literate and have the reasoning ability, and this is the prerequisite for voting. Secondly, at 18 a person can have his/her driving license. If we allow them to drive, we should also recognize that they are mature enough to vote. Finally, in today’s society 18-year-olds are more mature than ever before and there is no significant gap between an18-year-old’s ability to vote and people who are older. In fact many 40-year-olds are incapable to make informed decisions.What kind of music do you like the least? Give reasons why you do not like this kind of music.Some college students like to spend their time free time studying another course or doing schoolwork. Others like to join a club and enjoy club activities. Which do you think is better and why?One of your friends wants to drop out of college. Do you think it is a good idea or not? Why?Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order to be successful, a person should study in the university.Are the ways you study different from others, and how?Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing computer or video games has a negative influence on teenagers.。

09-10年新托福部分口语机经(个人从太傻上整理的)
2010.05.08托福口语机经整场考试,阅读部分从话题来看,还是比较常规的,词汇题是考生比较熟悉的,部分有些难。
今天的加试阅读题目有了很大变化,原先的词汇题变味了推断题,让考生有点胸闷。
看来,还是实力最重要。
听力部分,仍然比较难,主要就是对于话题不熟悉以及一味寄托于机经,遇到新题心理落差太大,影响了发挥。
口语部分和写作部分没又太难的内容,尤其是独立写作,考得话题已经是多次出现在以往考试中。

20篇托福口语机经标准范文
20091220CN,20071117NA1. S1: What quality do you think is the most important for a university student? Self-motivation, hard-working, or intelligence?I think that the most important quality for a university student is self-motivation. This is because students who are self-motivated can always find the strength hand confidence to complete a task, even when this task is challenging, and they do so without giving up or needing others to encourage them. In the university there are so many challenging tasks, like coping with exams and meeting deadlines for papers. Those who are self-motivated do not need other people to tell them what to do or when to do it. They just do what needs to be done, in due time and with good quality. With self-motivation you are naturally hard-working, out of your own will rather than being forced by others. Intelligence also helps but it does not guarantee success. Many smart students fail their exams or cannot cope with university stress.20100123CN,20080314NA2. S1: What's your favorite toy or game in your childhood?My favorite toy when I was a child was a stuffed teddy bear that named Rudolph. My grandma bought him for me when I was 2 years old. I have a lot of memories of this stuffed animal, and I still have him on my bed to sleep with every night. As a child, I used to bring Rudolph everywhere with me, and I still remember one instance: I had been shopping with mygrandpa and I accidentally left Rudolph at the store, not realizing it until we got home. My grandpa drove me back to the store to get him, and I never forgot that. I’ve always felt like I’d only be able to get to sleep if Rudolph was by my side.3. S2: Do you like to be taught by experienced teachers or by new teachers?I think in most of the cases I would like to be taught by a veteran teacher rather than a rookie teacher. Think about visiting a dentist or seeking advice from an attorney, I'm sure many people would prefer the most experienced because they are more likely to possess well-developed skills and hands-on experience to provide what you need. New teachers may be well trained in terms of teaching methodology, but it is only through the real-world application of these theories that teachers reach their full potential, and that takes time. My own experience also proves this. From high school to university I've always done much better in subjects taught by experienced teachers than in those taught by new teachers.20100227CN,20081114NA4. S1: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is goodfor students to attend a university or college in a foreign country. Explain why.Studying overseas has a number of advantages. Firstly, it may give students access to knowledge and facilities such as laboratories and libraries which are not available in their home country. Furthermore, by looking abroad students may find a wider range of courses than those offered in their home country, and therefore one which fits more closely to their particular needs. Finally, students learn to be independent and moreadaptable to a new environment. These are important qualities for future success. So I would say it is good for students to study in a foreign country.20100410CN,20090313NA5. S1: Describe a gift that you want to give to someone.If I were to give someone a gift, I would choose something that is personally hand-made. A photo calendar would be a good choice because it's not only memorable but also useful. It's easy to make your own photo calendar as a gift. There are many websites where you can print out a calendar using a template but customize the photos in the calendar. So I would upload some of the nice photos I took recently, especially those that would remind us of the sweet memories we shared, like the picturesof a beach or a party we went to together. To make it even more personal, I would write on each page of the calendar a few words expressing how I cherish our friendship.6. S2: Is it easier to be a teacher than to be a student?I've never been a teacher before but I guess it must be more difficult than being a student. First, being a teacher, especially a professional and well4 1iked one, you have to possess an abundance of knowledge and skills in at least one subject. To achieve this, a teacher often has to spend years studying teaching methodology and even more years practicing andimproving their skills or teaching. Also, teachers have much greater responsibility and thus more pressure than students do. Teachers often try very hard to meet the great expectations or both the student, and their parents, as well as the high standards set by school management and the general public. This could lead to high levels of stress for teachers.20100424CN,20081108NA7. S1: Describe your favorite teacher. Explain why you like him or her. Include reasons and details to support your response.My favorite teacher is Miss Yang, a 30-year-old young woman who is now teaching me English in a training school. I like her because she is NOT like a teacher in a traditional sense. You know what a stereotyped teacher looks like - serious, strict, sometimes intimidating. But Miss Yang is different. She is full of energy in the classroom, always smiling. She uses humorous language and dramatic body gestures to capture the attention of every student, so no one falls asleep during her class, no matter how uninteresting the topic was. I like her also because she is a responsible teacher. She would correct each little mistake that I made in my written essay. I know that must have been time-consuming.20100522CN,20080509NA8. S1: Describe a special friend in your childhood. Explain why this friend is special to you. Include reasons and details to support your response.I can't talk about my childhood without mentioning Tom. We have been neighbors since we were in primary school. We kind of stuck together since we found we have many things in common. For example, we both loved soccer and joined the school soccer team. We loved science fictions and were both devoted fans of the Star Trek series. People said we even looked similar, a little bit chubby with about the same height However, Tom is a special friend not just because of these similarities. To me, he is special teacher who first introduced me to the world of astronomy, which seemed to be his specialty. He would let me spend hours looking up into the sky, teaching me how to remember the names and positions of the stars and constellations.9. S2: Some people prefer to be a leader in a group project, while others prefer to be a supporting member in a group project. Which do you prefer and why? Use examples and details in your explanation.If I could choose, I would prefer to be a leader in a group project. Although being a leader in a group means more responsibilities, it also means 1 am given the chance to develop my leadership and management skills, which I think are very important in the current society. For example, when I am applying for a job, my resume would look a lot better if it could include a successful project I have personally led. Well I'm not saying supporting members are not important. It's just that the work of a leader is more challenging, so it is more valued.20100710CN,20090515NA10. S1: Describe a time when you tried to do something that you have never done. Explain what you did and why you did it.Talking about something I tried to do for the first time. I can't help but think of last summer when I did my first bungee jumping in Macao. l travelled there with my friends and we were visiting the Macau Tower when we came across this big bungee jumping sign. It took me a while to collect enough courage and finally make the decision to have a try because 1 was not an adventurous person at all. But I thought I should do something that could make me proud of myself, so I gave it a shot. I was connected to a large elastic cord. After making sure everything was OK, I jumped off the platform. I think it was 200 or 300 meters high. The free falling lasted about 20 seconds but for me it was close to forever.11. S2: Some people prefer to do one job or project at one time. Other people prefer to do several jobs or projects at the same time. Which do you prefer and why?I think it's better to focus on doing one thing at a time, rather than handling multiple tasks at the same time. The human brain is not a computer after all; it really can't think of that many things in parallel. If you are hungry and thinking about donuts, then you probably will not be able to focus on solving a math problem. So if you dedicate all your thoughts to only one task, you will get it done more quickly and accurately, where as if you split your time and effort between different tasks, you run the risk of not completing any one of them with good quality. This is why at the end of each term I would cancel another activities and focus on preparing for the exams only.20100814CN,20090612NA12. S1: Describe one of your friends. Explain how you met and became friends.My friend Jenna is an interesting girl. She's realty smart, for one thing.

She's also very athletic. She plays basketball and tennis; she even tried out for the wrestling team! Yet, at the same time, Jenna can be so silly. She loves to get dressed up in wacky outfits, with mismatched pants and dresses and shoes and take pictures of herself. I first met her in the dorms, the First day of my freshman year of college. A light bulb was burned-out in the hallway and we went on an adventure trying to figure out where on campus we could find a new one.13. S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Personality changes as one grows older.Many people say that personality is genetically determined, but I believe that it changes with age. For example, as people reach middle age, they tend to become more mature and less dependent on others. They care more about their work, responsibilities, and those in their lives. When people get old, they are less energetic and become less open to new ideas and concepts. These are all personality changes that naturally occur when people get older. Another possible factor of personality change is education. As knowledge accumulates over the years, people's understanding of the world or of themselves may both change, leading to a different pattern of personality20101017CN,20090117NA14. S1: If you were to become a volunteer at the school or in the community, what kind of volunteer work would you do and why?I think People have to contribute to their communities, societies and humanity in some way, and doing volunteer work is a great way to achieve this. If I got the chance, I would like to become a care-giver volunteer for my neighborhood. I am a medical student and I believe that I have the professional skills and knowledge to offer help to those local people who are sick, disabled or semi-bedridden. Even if they do need medical attention, or if I am not qualified to do so, I could always help by doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc, for them, which is also important.I think it is truly gratifying work and I hope that if I need help someday, that someone might come to help me.15. S2: Do you agree or disagree with the statement: artists and musicians are important to our society.I definitely agree with the argument that artists and musicians play an important part in our society. First of all, they enrich our routine, monotonous and sometimes boring daily life, sort of clean the dust from our existence. Whenever I feel tired, I would always listen to some soft piano music which never fails to make me feel better. Another thing is that they inspire all kinds of emotions in us such as courage, patriotism and love. You can simply think of the moment when national anthem is played out to see my point20101023CN,20090801NA16. S1: Talk about one activity you will do in the near future. Explain why you want to do this activity.In a few days my sister and I are going to the art museum downtown. They're having an exhibition about Post-impressionism painters right now, mostly van Gogh, and it is ending within the next week or two, so I want to get down there while I still can. I kind of wish I hadn't waited so long, though! My sister and I have always enjoyed going to art museums together, even when we were little. Our grandparents used to take us. I can remember, probably around the time I was in kindergarten, gazing up at a painting and just being fascinated. No matter how many times you see a piece of art, it can still enchant you.17. S2: Some students take notes very often during class. Other students do not take notes or rarely take notes. Which do you think is better?I'm going to go to the store and gel my nephew, Adam, a birthday present. He's turning four on Friday and that's also the day of his party. He really likes big cats, like lions and panthers, so hopefully I'll be able to find a stuffed animal of one of those. If not, his mom always likes when he gets educational toys as presents. I'm sure the store will have a puzzle or alphabet game that would be perfect for Adam. No matter what presents he ends up getting, I have a feeling Adam's favorite part of his birthday party will be the cake. It's going to be lemon cake with vanilla frosting this year. I can't wait!20101114CN,20090807NA18. S1:Describe a historical event that you’re interested in most. Explain why you are interested in it and want to know more about it. Include reasons and examples to support your response.I have long been fascinated by the sinking of the Titanic ever since I watched the movie they made about it I still have many questions like how it was built, how they had called it unsinkable beforehand, how the passengers ranged from some of the wealthiest people in the world to poor third class people in cramped rooms on the lower decks, how they insisted on seating the women and children in the lifeboats before the men ... There are just so many tragic and unbelievable elements that all came together on one horrible night! Everything happened so fast and so long ago, there are still so many factors I wonder about. But every time I learn something new about Titanic’s sinking, I feel like I'm uncovering part of the mystery.19. S2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? What a person wears can show his or her personality.I would agree, for the most part, but only in a very general sense. For instance, if someone is dressed very sharply, in a nice suit, I would think them to be professional and on-the-ball. I don't know any details about their personality, but at least I know they were thoughtful enough and had enough foresight to dress very nicety that day. Meanwhile, if someone is wearing sweatpants and a raggedy old t-shirt with stains all over it, I might think they were sloppy and careless. Once again, they could be the nicestperson in the world or a complete jerk; I have no idea about who they truly are! But their fashion choices can give me an immediate read on them,whether it is entirely accurate or not.。

For example, I used to be a very shy person when I was a child. I was not confident of myself. In the class, I seldom put up my hand to answer the question even though I knew the answer.

Since I experience the task of cleaning the house, I realized what I did before was absolutely wrong and I never litter rubbish again both at home and out of home.

Sometime we even rehearsed until midnight. Finally, we won great success in the party and almost everyone laughed.

Others prefer toconcentrate on present things and don't make any plans at all. Which way do you prefer? Use specific reasons to support your answer.As for me, I prefer to make a detailed plan for the future rather than only focus on the present things for the following reasons. First of all, a person should have a goalworth his whole life to pursue. In order to achieve the goal, people need to make a big plan. Usually, the plan contains what he should do in every step of his life. Many successful people always has a plan in his mind. It is like a road sign in his life. Furthermore, a plan for the future makes people more energetic. Keeping a plan in mind will infuse energy into one’s life.

Realistically, the boss is the one who give me salary. If the boss is a miserly person and I think I will not lead a pleasant life. Additionally, a good boss will give you a bright future. Is the boss cares about my development, then I will get a lot of chance to learn and promote. If the boss never cares about his staffs’ development, I think it is a disaster for me.

So I regard a good boss as the most important element of the work atmosphere.30.Do you agree or disagree: cell phone changes our lives greatly.Of course, I believe cell phones do enhance the standard of people’s life for the following reasons.

It is much more convenient than sending a letter or using the telegram people used years ago. Second, cell phones also plays an important role in people’s leisure time. Playing games or reading news in cell phone has gained popularity among most teenagers. It is also a convenient way to learn. When you need some information, a cell phone can be of great help.31.Describe an interesting style of clothing in your country.32.Some people like to spend their spare time with friends, some people like to spendit alone.

Since I spend a lot of time with them we form a firm friendship. Additionally, I like talk to my friends. When we have troubles, we often confide to each other.

During the process, I can receive much more technology and knowledge about botany. Meanwhile, I can also learn some planting skills from the volunteer work.
