托福口语怎么表示中立
托福口语怎么表示中立切记在回答时要用一个有引导性的陈述告诉考官你的话题是什么,整个回答应该围绕这一话题展开具体的描述,后用一个总结陈词结束你的回答。
下面让我们具体展开说明。
1、在Task1中仔细听问题你必须要在听完问题后15秒内整理思路,想清楚问题问的是什么?它要求你回答什么?举个例子:Name a skill you have learned and explain why it is important to you. Include details and examples to support your explanation.你应该在脑海里列出这样一条思路:先告诉考官你学过的那项技能是什么,必要的话可以对其下一个定义。
然后解释它对你的重要性,要通过举例或细节描述来论证这点。
2、在Task2中快速决定你的话题很多人会碰到的问题是在考官提供了两个可供选择的话题后,还没决定要选择哪个,准备时间已经过去了。
大家一定要快速选择一个话题,准备时间应该被用在思索回答时你要用什么样的例子以及怎样来描述。
切记,考官一点都不关怀你选择了什么话题,他关怀的是你如何描述这个话题。
3、在开头陈述你选择的话题如果你选择的话题是关于"touch-typing',你可以在回答的开头这样陈述:I have learned how to touch-type, and this has been very important during my studies.4、反复学习,达到目标在平常的口语学习中,录下自己的回答并抄下来,做如下改善:改正语法错误,减少停顿时间,避免重复使用同样的单词或词组。
然后就可以反复朗诵修改过的版本,并且要有一定的速度,检验是否能在45秒内读完。
你可能会发现45秒只够做一个陈述,给出一两个例子或细节描述。
所以必须在你的回答中删去不必要的话,然后设定45秒,再读一遍,检验是否能读完。

托福口语机经第五批 答案
1.Some people like to move about and live indifferent places. Others like to stay atone place all their lives. Which do you prefer and why?Personally speaking, I would like to move about rather than live in one place for my whole life. First and foremost, I like to be new. Staying in one place for a long time is tedious, which makes me unimpassioned. When I get into a new place, my life become full of surprises and uncertainties again and I will recover the energy and curiosity to explore. Additionally, moving about helps to broaden my views in my life.I can learn different culture from different people. Meanwhile, I can make a lot of friends, which may be great importance in the career life. However, living in one place will limit my friend circle in some degree.2.问作业(assignment) 很多时,用什么战术来保证按时(On schedu le)完成作业Personally speaking, when I am given an assignment, I will carefully analyze the assignment first, and then make a detailed plan. First of all, it’s necessary for me to have a overview of the assignment, so that I can clearly know the difficulty and calculate the time that I need to finish. By the way of analyzing, it avoids me wasting unnecessary time and energy. According to my analysis, I will draw up a detailed plan for myself. The plan will be divided into three main parts, including the time, the targets and also the concrete actions. With the help of the plan, I believe I can complete the assignment on schedule.3.你喜欢outdoor activity 还是indoor activity such as yogaWell, as far as I am concerned, I think it depends on different situations and both the outdoor and indoor activities are beneficial for our health. Generally speaking, I do more outdoor activities than the indoor ones. Because we don’t need to prepare a lot when we do outdoor activities, for instance, running on the playground or jogging along river. What we need are just a pair of comfortable shoes and a good mood. However, indoor actives such as yoga give us different feelings. While listening to the beautiful music and following coach’s actions, I feel more relaxed. Esp ecially when I have been under pressure for a long time, doing yoga make me refreshed.4.Agree or Disagree : 学校要求每年40hours 的community service是有必要的Personally speaking, I support the idea that college students should do community services for forty hours per year. First of all, college students have become adults so that they have the responsibilities to serve the society. When they are doing community service, students will receive the sense of achievement by helping theothers, especially the old people who live alone. What’s more, community service provides an opportunity for the students to touch the society, which will benefit them a lot in their future career. Most of the students nowadays badly lack social experience because they hold too much studying pressure before university.Therefore, it is very necessary for college student s to do 40 hours’ community service every year.5.一个学校成功与否取决于他是否有很多的textbookAs far as I am concerned, whether a school holds large amount of textbooks is not an important element of a good school. First, large amount of textbooks can not represent teaching quality of a school. A successful school is expected to offer various courses or programs to keep its students interested and to have standards to guide them. Hence they can create good pieces of work, not just focus on raising test scores in such a narrow way. Moreover, a good school must possess an excellent teaching staff. As we all know, good teaching can help students understand a subject in depth and thus improve the quality of their work. Therefore, I disagree with the statement that a school’s success depends on the textbooks.6.When they are studying to prepare for an exam, some students like to study withother people, while others like to study alone. Which do you prefer and why?As for me, I prefer to study alone. I have my reasons as follow. First and foremost,I need a quiet environment when I prepare for an exam. A little noise may cause abig threat to my study efficiency, especially when I try to remember something. If someone come to ask me questions when I study with him, it is impolite to ignore him. In such a case ,I prefer to study alone. Additionally, I have my own study plan. If I study with others, my study plan may be easily disturbed and I can’t finish my schedule in time. Studying alone can guarantee my time for reviewing ifI follow the plan strickly.7.说说你visit 过的两个城市的不同(做比较)I’d like to talk about Hangzhou and Shanghai that I’ve been to.I study and live in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is beautiful city with lots of trees standing by the roads. And the west lake is one of the most famous sites in Hangzhou, which attracts lots of tuorists from all of the world.It is also a historic city with a lot of places of historical interest. People live Hangzhou lead a peaceful and pleasant life. Shanghai is a metropolis. It is a national economic and trade center. The buildings stand by the road are tall. The life rhythm in shanghai is fast and we can always see people walk in the street in a hurry.8.Do you agree that teachers should encourage students to use computers fromprimary school?I agree that students should be taught to use computers at an early age.First, since our world is developing at a fast speed, the ability to acquire information and knowledge is vital. The computers will make it easier for students to fit in the information era. Second, there are a lot of advanced inventions available online such as distant courses. Computers can thus be a wonderful way for students to receive education. And parents can have a better idea a bout what’s going on at school from the feedback of their children in school.9.In your opinion, what is the most important invention in your life? Computer,television or telephone?As far as I am concerned, computer is the most important invention in my life. I have my reasons as follow. First, computer is a great help in my study. When I get problems in my tasks, I often go to the computer for help. With the access to the internet, I can collect all the information I need within seconds. Computer also plays an important role in my leisure time. I can watch movies, listen to music or chat with others on the internet. Since I have a computer, I seldom go shopping on the street. Shopping on-line is so convenient and it can save me a lot of time. From the above discussions, I think computer is the most important invention.10.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most importantlessonscannot be learned in classrooms.11.Choose ONE of the forms of the technology in the list and tell why it has greatimpact on people's lives in your country? Airplane, computer or television. Use specific reasons and examples to support your responseAs far as I am concerned, computer is the most important invention in my life. I have my reasons as follow. First, computer is a great help in my study. When I get problems in my tasks, I often go to the computer for help. With the access to theinternet, I can collect all the information I need within seconds. Computer also plays an important role in my leisure time. I can watch movies, listen to music or chat with others on the internet. Since I have a computer, I seldom go shopping on the street. Shopping on-line is so convenient and it can save me a lot of time. From the above discussions, I think computer is the most important invention.12.Which is better for children? To grow up in a big city or to grow up in a smalltown?From my point of view, to grow up in a big city is better for children. First and foremost, the education condition in the city is much better than that in the small town.With the sufficient recourse of teachers, who all are graduated from institution of higher education and are qualified in teaching skill, a big city will offer much more chances for children to study, thus guarantee that the children can receive superior education than children in the small town, and help children develop better academic ability.Second, the medical and healthcare technology in a big city is much better and much more available for the citizens. The cost of medicine and surgery is much higher in the small town because of the long distance transportation.13.Describe a person that you look up to as a role model. Explain how this personinfluenced your life. Include details and examples to support your response.I want to talk about my neighbor who I regard as my role model. He is as old as me and we grow up together. He is so intelligent that he always win the first prize in the final exams. I often turned to him for help when I encountered some problems in my study. I cannot concentrate on the homework. Whereas, he can calm down and achieve great study efficiency.His always looks the problems in a different view and can get many inconceivable results. He is also independent which I admire. Since his parents were busy with their work, he took care of himself. He often did the cooking and the housework. I learned a lot from him and I still look up to him as a role model.14.Agree or disagree: young children should learn to draw or paint. Include detailsand examples to support your answer.From my point of view, whether young children should learn draw or paint depends on the children’s abilities and interests. For those children who show talents in the drawing or painting, they surely can get access to more relative class or training. Because the art can promote the children’s minds and helps them establish more abilities, with which they may become more competitive in the future. However , for those children who are reluctant to learn draw or paint and have some problem in their studies like math , English and so on, I think there is no need to learn draw or paint. They need to save the time to develop other abilities or concentrate on their studies. 15.Is it a good idea to keep a pet such as a dog or a cat? What can you benefit fromsuch an experience?I think it is a good idea to keep a pet such as a dog or a cat. Pets can be friends with which we can live and spend time. I used to have a pet dog when I was very young. It's the only friend I have because Mom and Dad used to be too busy with their work to spend time with me. The only way that I could have fun was to play with my pet. Furthermore some pets have their position in this society that is irreplaceable. They are important helpers to the disabled. For example, some dogs can lead the way for the blind. They know which would be the safe path to go, and they know when to stop if a car passes by. They have made the lives of the blind much easier because these people can go outside themselves.16.Should students start to plan their career before entering college, or should they doso until they have entered college and studied for a period of time?。

这是判断的核心,至于是否说完,其实托福的考官并不在乎。
你提前20秒说完无所谓,提前10秒说完也OK,没说完,也可以,只要你前面的表现还都不错,托福考官一样是会给你高分的。
ETS不是很在乎你口语有没有说完,而只是在乎你口语说的好不好。
就算中了机经,中了机经之后,会让我们的发音更准确么?会让我们的例子可以更好的支持论点么?会让你停顿的位置恰到好处么?答案都是否定的!因此,把题目答完了,也丝毫不会增加你的分数。
以后如下的问题不用纠结了。
口语空几秒没答完,会0分么?没事的,大牛们都不答完。
这次口语中了,会不会压分啊?当然不会,这又不是中国高考。
口语中了机经,人们也不会因此说得多好。
为什么上次没答案,这次答完了,分数竟然还没变?是因为你口语的发音等一系列的,人家ETS看中的评分标准,在你身上都没有任何的变化。
对于一些人眼中的牛人,能把题目答案了,而分数很高。
那是因为人家的发音本来就好,内容控制得当,因此口语说完了。
总结一下就是,那是人家口语好而自然而然说完了,换句话说,人家把口语说完了,那是顺带的。
所以大家需要的还是更多的练习,而不用去抱怨口语没有说完。

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。

目录2014年独立口语与独立写作押中情况 (3)独立口语 (4)口语答题思路结构分析和范文 (5)独立写作 (7)写作的题目类型总结和思路解析 (8)拼盘重点 (12)(文中标注黄色着重的为新增题目)独立口语口语答题思路结构分析和范文---侯小翊一、独立口语题的答案内容模式和量化规则在独立口语当中,我们首先考虑独立口语的答题时间长度为45秒,折算出来应该大约是我们讲8句话的时间。
那么这8句话应该如何分布呢?首先,我们肯定要响应题目,对题目当中的问题进行一个表态(1句),此后我们要引出自己所表态度背后的原因,那么这里肯定要再说一句(如and I have two reasons to support my idea。
)接下来就是原因陈述部分了,其实这里也需要精打细算,还剩6句话,比较合理的选择是给出两条理由,其中每条理由给出3句论述。
我们不建议3条理由是因为这让每一点上都只能说两句,这样往往展开不充分,而如果只说一个理由则容易把自己逼进一个观点要展开6句的窘境。
考虑到大部分中国考生普遍在口语表述的多样性上存在很大问题的这个现实,我们担心多数人会容易出现没话可说或是出现机械重复已经说过内容的情况。
那么如果选择两条理由来说,每条理由刚好三句,这三句如何安排呢?比较讨巧的方式是采用我们称之为“理+因+果”的三句式。
也就是先一句话说明道理,随着延伸开原因,再进一步说明结果的模式。
二、思路展开模式考虑到每个话题我们会需要两个理由,考生们需要在平时多做思路拓展训练,学会在每个话题点上用辩证的方式对话题进行双向分析,比如讨论人时可以分析其为人和处事两方面,谈论计划时可以分析短期和长期,讨论价值时可以分析物质和精神等等。
一旦我们形成了针对某一类话题的习惯性思路,在回答时让自己的说话内容丰富有序就不会是难事了。
三、范文1. Decribe a charater in a book, film, poem, explain why you like it. 080223NAThe film character that I like the most is definitely Andy in The Shawshank Redemption. He teaches me the best ways for a man to survive hardships.First, I was very much impressed with the way he handled the interpersonal relationships. He established friendship with the upright ones who helped him a lot against the threats from the evil ones. He was even able to get help from the guards and the warden who were not supposed to be on his side.Plus, he was really smart in everything he did. He understood structural engineering and had smart ways of gathering materials he needed for his escape. That is why he was able to get away without anyone noticing.2. Do you think high school students should take economic classes?I think it is necessary for high school students to study some economics, and there is a couple of reasons to explain why.First of all, high school kids are at the stage of entering adulthood, and so it is already time for them to talk care of themselves, especially in terms of personal finance. High school students would be more able to put their allowances or part-time income to wiser use.In addition, I believe economic knowledge can give students a better chance of finding a good job. I mean we are living in a world where pretty much everybody is involved in business transactions and so no wonder people with economic expertise are making good money.3. 什么东西进步是你觉得你国家在过去20年里最重要的?I believe the development of the internet is no doubt one of the most important steps forward that my country has taken in the past 20 years, because it has made our life much better.First, the internet offers us unbelievable sources of information. Nowadays we can get online at home to know what is going on in practically every corner of the world. And as a student, I could basically find everything I need for my research.Plus, the internet brings us a lot of entertainment. With a simple click with the mouse, we could listen to whatever piece of music or watch any kind of movies we like. Not to mention the excitement we get when we play all these incredible internet games.独立写作写作的题目类型总结和思路解析---刘魁今昔对比类/生活类:解题技巧:通常从education, medical care, environment, competition, technology等几个角度去思考,详见后面题型解析重点题目:1.In the past young people are more depended on their parents in making decision.

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.。

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 a physics major and there have been times where she's tried to explain her homework assignment to me and I honestly didn't understand a word of it. It was like gibberish to me! 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.。

托福口语机经第一批 答案
1.Do you prefer to eat prepared food or food made by yourself?As for me , I prefer to choose prepared food. One reason is that my cooking skill is not very pleasant. Since my mother cooks at home , seldom do I have the chance to practice cooking skills. In hence , I have established the habit to enjoy the prepared food. Furthermore, prepared food without my effort to buy crude food, wash and cook can save me a lot of time, I am always busy with my study and social work, I hardly squeeze the time to make the meal, and I regard the cooking as a heavy burden in my life. And the last thing I have to admit is that prepared food is far more delicious than the food I cook. And I am quite confident of that .2.What's your favorite toy or game in your childhood?As I can remember, my favorite toy is a football. My father gave it to me as a present when I won the first prize in the school sports meeting. Since I always get sick when I was young, my father encouraged me to do sports like running.Since I had the football, he played it with me every week. Step by step, I formed the good habit to do sports regularly. Consequently, I became much more sturdy and healthy and I seldom go to the hospital. Afterwards, I make a lot of friends who are interested in the football too. We played football after school happily and formed a profound friendship. With the company of football, I experienced a happy period of time. So I regard football as my favorite toy in my childhood.3.Do you like to be taught by experienced teachers or by new teachers?Personally speaking, I prefer to be taught by the experienced teacher for the following reasons. First of all, experienced teachers can give me more knowledge.Since they have worked for some time, they are always more knowledgeable than the new teachers. Second, experienced teachers send knowledge in a more efficient way, with rich teaching experience, they know how to catch the students’ eyes. Compared with the new teachers, experienced teachers have a variety of methods to give lessons, which may be useful for the students to understand.And the last point I want to say is that experienced teacher can help student make progress more easily. Since they have taught hundreds of students, they can easily find students’ weakness and help them form good study habits.4.Describe a subject that you think is very important, but you are not interested in.Please provide details to why it is important and difficult.As for me, I think math is the subject that is very important but I am not interested in. Mathematics is a basic tool in many fields such as physics, economics, accountancy and so on. I major in energy science, and math become a very important basic subject. Without the comprehensive knowledge of math, we cannot do some deep research in our field. Meanwhile math is also a very difficult subject for me. When I do some calculation, I always lose my patience and can not concentrate on the process. And I am not skilled in logical thinking, which make math a real tough subject for me. As I realize the importance of math in my major, I try my best to work harder on it and get a pleasant result.5.Do you prefer to watch movies in the cinema or at home, why?Personally speaking, I prefer to stay home enjoying movies. I think wathching movies at home is much more convenient and can save me a lot of time. It will take me 30 minutes if I go to the nearest cinema in my city by bus. Sometimes, when I get to the cinema, the tickets are sold out or I have to wait for a long time for the next movie. This kind of situations really disturbs me and I seldom go to the cinema. Furthermore, staying at home is more comfortable. I can put a lot of snacks in front of me. If something happened ,I can just pause the TV and continue to enjoy after I handle it. And I always invite some friends home and we definitely have a good time.6.Describe the benefit of spending time abroad.Nowadays, many people choose to go abroad studying or visiting, I think there are benefits to do so. For teenagers, going abroad for some time is good chance to practice their ability to live alone. They have depended on their parents for a long time and seldom make decisions on their own. When they are away from their parents, they need to be independent, which they have to learn to become an adult.Additionally, people can tough different people and learn different culture, which help them broaden their views and have a better understanding of the world. I also believe spending time abroad is also a good way to practice language skill if they are learning foreign language. Actually , some of my friends make huge progress in English after they spend 3 months in America.7.Describe a performer, an actor or a musician, etc. that you think is great. Pleasegive specific reasons why you think he/she is a great performer.My favorite movie star is Jackie Chan and I think he is a great actor. He played a variety of fantastic movies such as Police Story, Baby Plan,Chinese Zodiac and so on. These movies are almost action movies, but Jackie Chan is very dedicated and seldom use the substitute even though is some dangerous scenes. Jackie Chan is not only an eminent actor but also a caring philanthropist. He cares about the future of the poor children and found the Jackie Chan charitable foundation. He even carry out the concert to raise money to help the poor. I regard Jackie Chan asa good performer not only because he perform perfect in his movies but also in thereal life.8.What are some important effects of the worldwide availability of the Internet onmodern people’s life? Use specific details and examples to support your response.Nowadays, the internet plays an significant and irreplaceable role in the modern life. With the convenient access to the internet, people learn fast. They can collect almost any information they need within seconds on computers. People save the time for searching the information and use the saved time to learn more knowledge. Based on the internet, remote education developed around the world.Furthermore, the internet also change the way people work. In modern society, we can hardly see a company without a computer. Computer accelerate the process of work and help the company get more profits. And the last thing I want to mention is the Internet industry. It provides a variety of jobs and some famous enterprise developed such as Alibaba , Sina, Tencent and so on.9.Some students prefer to go to universities or colleges in their hometown. Othersprefer to go to universities or colleges in new cities or towns. Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.As for me, I prefer to go to a new city or town for a period of time. First of all, I like to be independent. In a new city, I will not depend on my parents as before and I can make the decision on my own. It helps me to become a true man.Second, I can establish a new friend circle and start a new life. Compared with easy and comfortable life, I prefer to have a new and challenging life. Staying in one place for a long time will make me numb and innocent. And the last benefit I want to mention is that living in a new place for some time will broaden my view and give me a better understanding of the country.10.Describe a gift that you want to give to someone.The gift I want to give to my best friend is book written by Mo yan. The title of the book is“red sorghum”. He majors in Chinese Literature and he loves reading books very much. And Mo yan is one of his favorite Chinese writers.

First of all, being ateacher consume more vigor. A teacher needs to be responsible for several classes of students. To be a good teacher, he should know everyone’s traits and find out their weak points. Then he helps them to make progress. This job is time-consuming, which makes it much harder than being a student. Second,teaching is a career, a teacher also needs to consider how to achieve his own career. If a teacher can not achieve the teaching goal set by the school, he may lose his job. Based on the aboved discussion, I believe being a teacher is much more challenging than being a student.12.Describe your favorite teacher. Explain why you like him or her. Include reasonsand details to support your response.My favorite teacher is my math teacher in my high school. He is such a charming person that I admire him most.

Meanwhile, he is also a very kind person, when I have problems in my life, I often confide to him, he can give me some useful advice.

Others prefer to take their time.Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.As for me , I prefer to make decisions after I have a comprehensive consideration.For example , when I choose the college after I graduate from high school, I searched the internet, asked my teachers and even called the university admissions office. It took quite a long time before I made the final decision. I believe it worth my preparations. In people’s life, some decisions are so important that we can not afford to make any mistakes. In such a case, cursory decisions always lead to more tortuous road. We may save some time if we make decisions quickly, however, it may take more time to correct the wrong decision. So I choose to look before I leap.14.Describe an activity that you enjoy doing together with your family. Explain why.Please include reasons and details in your response.In my family ,my sister, my parents and I all love to enjoy the movie at home.

It is really convenient especially for those who are tired of wandering in the big street. Second, goods in the large grocery stores are always in high quality, which means a lot for me. Relatively, goods in small grocery may have some problems and some shopkeeper show no responsibility for it. And the last thing I want to mention is the condition of the store.

That is very important to lead a team with many complex troubles. With my communication skills, I can make the atmosphere among my team members very harmonious. And second, I am good at making decisions. Before I make a decision, I take every fact into consideration and make sure that the next step is what we need. And I also believe being a leader is a chance to enhance myself. It helps me to promote my sense of responsibility, practice my ability to organize a team and push me to learn. So instead of being a person who is regulated by others, I want to be a leader and regulate others myself.18.What skill (such as playing a sport, playing a musical instrument and speaking aforeign language) would you like to learn the most? Explain why.Among the three skills, I want to learn a foreign language for two seasons. First of all, speaking a foreign language is useful. Nowadays, many foreigners come to China studying or visiting. It will be helpful if I can speak frequent English. And I want to go abroad to study, English is of great importance. A foreign language is basic tool to communicate. Second, being skilled in a foreign language enables me to have more job chances. If I can speak a foreign language, I can choose to be a translator, a guide and so on. And people may get appreciation from their boss if they can speak to a foreigner.19.Some people prefer to attend team sports. Others prefer to do individual sports.Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.As for me, I prefer to attend individual sports like running and swimming. First of all, playing individual sports enables me to make my own plan. I can choose the time and place. However, playing team sports is not very flexible. Sometime I need to fit other’s schedule and break my own plan. Second, doing individual sports is more efficient in practicing myself. Team sports need cooperation and coordination. I do sports mainly to strengthen my body, so I think doing individual sports is more valid than doing team sports. Additionally, I think team sport is more difficult like football and basketball, I would like to do some easy sports, so doing individual sports is a good choice for me .20.Describe a time you are trying to do something that you have never done before.In the first year of my college, I want to go the stage to show myself in The school's New Year's eve party.

I became both a director and an actor. In that month, we were busy with this play. Sometime we even rehearsed until midnight. But during the process, I learned to how to make a plan, how to communicate with others and how to regulate a team. Finally, we won great success in the party and almost everyone laughed. It is a fantastic period when I was a director and an actor.21.Do you prefer to concentrate on one project at a time or to handle many works orprojects at once?Personally speaking, I prefer to concentrate on only one project at a time rather than handle a lot of works at once. I can easily be disturbed by other facts when I am doing my job. Once I get a subject, I regard other works as disturbance. My capacity of handling things is limited and I can’t care about two works or make two decisions at one time. Usually I will make a schedule before I begin a project, by following theschedule step by step, I can finish the task efficient. Another reason I do not like to handling too many works is that it makes me tired and impatient, as a result I will not finish any of them perfect.22.What do you do to keep yourself healthy?

Additionally, holding a party is also a way to thank the people who give me presents or send me their wishes. It’s a good way to feed them back with good wine and delicious food. As a passionate and active person, I also regard the party as a good chance to make new friends.24.Describe one of your friends. Explain how you met and became friends.I want to talk about my best friend in my childhood, who means a lot to me, that is my neighbor. Since my parents are really busy with their works, I always stayed at home alone. He moved to my city when I was 10 years old. We fast know about each other. And he is always alone at home too.

Personality changes asone grows older.I do agree that personality changes as one grows older. I believe environment plays an important role in forge a person. What a person see and what a person hear will definitely change their value. Consequently, people change his personality in order to become the man he wants to be. 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. Later on, my teacher told me I that I was a smart student and I should express myself in public. Since then, I took part in many competition and win some prizes and I am quite confident with myself now.26.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

First of all, it helps children to establish good habits. For example, my mother asked me to clean the house when I was a child because I always threw the rubbish at random. 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. Second, doing the housework can also make children to be laborious. Nowadays, children are too lazy and they need to learn to be more diligent.27.Describe one thing you didn’t want to do but you were asked to do. Explain whatthe result of that thing was.

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. Moreover, a good boss provides a pleasant work atmosphere. I cannot imagine how I will feel if I sit in an office facing a cold-blood boss. 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. First of all, cell phones promote the efficiency of communication. If you want to talk to someone, just take up the phone. 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.

Compared to staying alone thinking and concerning, I prefer to spend my spare time with my friends. They know what I need and always give me their supports.33.If you were to become a volunteer at the school or in the community, what kind ofvolunteer work would you do and why?As for, I prefer to help to plant more trees. First of all , I used to plant some flowers at home, from which I learned some knowledge about the planting. So with the previous experience, I think I can do a good job in this kind of volunteer works. In addition, I think planting trees is creative and challenging. 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. Furthermore, planting more trees is much more meaningful. Nowadays, the bad air condition has become a big threaten to people’s health. The more trees we plant, the more fresh air we will have. So I will choose planting trees as my volunteer work among the three.34.Do you agree or disagree with statement: artists and musicians are important toour society.I do agree with the statement that artists and musicians are very important to our society. First of all, they are the successors and spreaders of the human society. All the art works are the cultural crystal of the nation. For example, from the works of Vinci, we learn what people thought and what they admired at that time. We also receive much information about the history from their works. Second, artists and musicians enrich people’s spiritual life. Nowadays, more and more people go to the art exhibition or concert to enjoy the beautiful art. Appreciating the art work becomes a very important part in their lives.35.Talk about one activity you will do in the near future. Explain why you want to dothis activity.In the near future, I will go to the HK to further study.

If I go to Hong Kong to do further study, I believe my research skills will be promoted and my knowledge will be largely enriched.36.Some students take notes very often during class. Other students do not take notesor rarely take notes. Which do you think is better?Personally speaking, taking notes is of great importance during class. It has many benefits as follows. First of all, taking note helps a student concentrate on what theteacher talks. If a student takes down what the teacher, his mind and hand are working. In such a case, he cannot be easily disturbed. Second, taking notes is a good way to remember thing. Researchs have revealed that people will remember thing more efficiently if they use minds and hands together.

Second, watching TV is also a good way to relax.

Though I do believe that the mission of Apollo 11 is a success, not a lie, I still hope that NASA can provide indisputable facts to prove they are right.。

09年6月13日托福口语机经
∙
5年后你的生活的变化… ∙
钱和权力就是成功的象征 ∙ 的一门课的时间安排发生变化,从早上调到晚上,因为考虑到很多同学有part-time
jobs 。
对话中学生对此决定及其不满,认为学校不了解学生的时间安排,很多学生都是晚上工作而白天有学习的时间,同时晚上的同学们都很累,希望找朋友们玩耍,或者自己休息……
∙ 种经济现象,往往给商家带来假象。
举的例子是环保车,当商家在生产这种环保车
之前,会做一个调查,这时发现大家都赞同环保车,并表示会购买。
但是一旦生产出了环保车,购买者很少,迫使商家停产。
造成这种现象的原因就在于people think it
(manufacture the green car ) is the right things to do but not built.人们觉得环保车是好的,有益环境的。
但只是针对这件事,并不是要买。
∙ 在一个餐馆中有工作,下班时间距离下堂课只有15分钟,所以经常迟到。
而那堂课
的教授很在乎出勤。
迟到会影响期末成绩。
男生给了建议,一,可以提前从餐馆下班。
女生说老板已经对我很好了,经常照顾我,再提要求会不好意思。
二,drop the class ,选别的课。
∙ 种Antics art form ,与traditional art form 相反,这种art form 可以让很多大众了解
艺术和看到艺术,因为这种art form 的成本比traditional art form 要低得多,举的例子用了stone and mirror 。
另外除了成本低,这种form 经常放在大街上展览,这样
passers-by 可以欣赏到。
