Question 11. Person=Personalities1. ParentsMy mother is the person whom I admire most due to her so many good personali ties like talented, tolerant and most of all, her spirit of dedication. First of all, she is such a talented person who not only has great achievements in her work, but also can cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-e ducated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people. And the most bea utiful thing about her is that she has a beautiful mind. Thrifty as she is in the dai ly life, she saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is. That is why I think my mother is the person I admire most.2. Teacher (万能人物；可替换的角色有：parent, leader, frie nd, ideal spouse, celebrity)A good teacher should have the following personalities. First of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students and she knows which students need extra assistance. Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional concepts. What is more, she would show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them. For most students, a good teacher is also a helper who can lift them to new heig hts. Just like an old saying goes, " GIVE ME A FISH AND I EAT FOR A DAY, T EACH ME TO FISH AND I EAT FOR A LIFE TIME". This must be a philosophy of every good teacher.3. FriendsA good friend should have the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and positive. First of all, a trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especi ally when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble. Secondly, he/she must be someone who can give me some suggestions when I lose my heart. I clearly remember last time I had a bad experience on my job, I was so sad during those period of time and my friend Nana just sat besid es me and was such a good listener to support me and inspired me by saying tha t I deserved a second chance and never pushing myself too hard would be a better choice. After the nice conversation, I happened to realize I overcame those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive. Though we always say “prepare for the worst and hope for the b est”, we seldom do it whe n we face up with the worse situation. At this time, a p ositive friend has this power to make us believe that it is absolutely right to obey the rule.In the end, I would like to quote a famous saying by Aristotle to end up my resp onse. “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”4. LeaderA good leader should have these criteria:1. Have a vision.Effective leaders and their organizations have an agenda. A vision. A vision is a di rection—an attractive and attainable picture of the future. As a leader, if you don't know where you are going, you are irrelevant to your followers. With a vision yo u can inspire and lift individuals and groups to new heights—an important functio n of any leader.2. Seize opportunity.Look for experiences that are new and different. Develop relationships with people who are different from the people you ordinarily have relationships with, especiall y those that come from different backgrounds and age groups.3. Communication is key.Be accessible to everyone in the organization. Companies need to realize that the old model of the leaders sitting on top of the pyramid and the managers executin g orders does not work in today’s environment. The person at the top cannot be t he only leader. There have to be various people within the company acting in this role. There are many companies stuck in a rut where the managers are waiting t o be told what to do. That doesn’t work.4. Be proactive.Promote continuous exploration of yourself and other leaders within the organizati on. Be acc ountable for what you do. If there is an issue in the company, don’t sa y you didn’t know anything about it. Look at the organization and constantly ask what can be improved.2. Event1. Reading booksWhen I have time, I read books. My favorite book is the Old Man and the Sea w hich is written by Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest American writers. The b ook told us a story about an old man called Diego who did fishing in Cuba. Thou gh he came across lots of difficulties on the sea and came back without a single fish, he was optimistic and still held the hope. (Diego) is like a mirror which reflec ts what (Hemingway) wanted to tell all of us: Never give up and the final success will come right after the last try. I’ve stuck on that wisdom all the time ever sin ce I read this book for that story makes me believe there is no stronger thing eve r than a strong human belief.2. Listening to the musicMy favorite music is___, which is sung by___.The reasons why I love that song are based on the following aspects.First of all, it relaxes my mind.Second, I always have a greater efficiency after listening to music.Third, by listening to the music, I can learn something about the rhythm, which t eaches me how to balance complicated situation.Last, enjoying all kinds of music, like rock n roll, punk or classic, I come to visit different world and learn how to appreciate arts.Music is a worldwide language without any translation, by listening to the music; we can share our emotions with different people around the world.3. Sports: 理由（雷同音乐）1.It relaxes my mind.2.I have a greater efficiency on study after the outdoor activities.3.Outdoor activities offer me not only more fresh air but also the chance toembrace the nature.4.I also meet some new friends when I am doing some activities, like playing basketball.4. Spring Festival:In my country, the most impressive/memorable/popular/favorite/social celebration i s Spring Festival, which is also called Chinese Lunar New Year.On Spring Festival Eve, we Chinese people usually do a thorough cleaning for thei r houses to clean up all the ill-fortunes may have been in the family and make th e way for the incoming good luck. In the evening, family members get together co ming back from everywhere, make Jiaozi, dumplings boiled in the water, sit aroun d the table, toast to each other, wish everybody good luck and health. After the fe ast, usually in the midnight, children will gather around to play fireworks to lightup the sky. During the whole night, we usually stay up and make every light in o ur house on. The next morning, people will greet their relatives and friends usuall y face to face. When you eat rice glue ball, called yuanxiao in China, it means yo u come to the end of this great new year celebration.Spring Festival means the whole world to Chinese people and we all consider it a chance for our family members reunion and gather best wishes for the coming ye ar together.5. My most embarrassing moment:The most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me in school was when I was walking along the sidewalk back to school from getting some lunch. My eye caught a beautiful car and I lost sight of where I was going. Next thing I knew, B ANG, I walked straight into a pole, hitting my whole head on it. I fell on the gro und and my friends just laughed. Even though it was very embarrassing, it made our day 'cause we will never forget it. The days go by; I will still laugh as long a s I remember it. But I don’t care about it anymore, sometimes, the embarrassing t hing just puts smile on other people’s faces.6. The most difficult moment:The most difficult moment that I’ve ever had was when I prepared for the IBT. It became so hard for me since I’d never had a c hance to talk in English for quite a long time. I could barely open my mouth; let alone, how to cover the whole tes t within the time limitation. I was rather upset and almost lost my heart. My frie nd Tom/Mary saw me one day and he/she inspired me by saying that if I couldn’t overcome that task, how could I survive in the States and make my dream come true. All of a sudden, I realized how small this task would be in the whole proce ss of making my dream come true. And he/she suggested that I should make a w ell-organized plan to divide my goal into several little parts, which are attractive a nd attainable. And just like that, for the first time, I thought it was not that hard and I gradually had a faith in conquering this. Day by day, the more I practiced, the more confidence I gained.7. Ambition:I have always had a burning ambition to be a psychotherapist. I want to help peo ple solve their emotional problems, recover from mental illnesses, and regain their self-confidence. An increasing number of people, under so much pressure at work, have been deeply depressed in recent years. Therefore, the role of a psychotherap ist in keeping our society strong and healthy is getting more and more important. Being a highly self-motivated person, I feel confident about my ability to make m y dream come true. As the well-known saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." I believe that I will become an outstanding psychotherapist some day.8. Chances for the Volunteer for 2008 OlympicsOr Shanghai Expo:IF I’d ever had a chance to do something that I wish for, I would like to be a vo lunteer for Olympics held in China in 2008. First of all, it is a great honor to be part of this opportunity coming once or never. I can put my English fully into us e. Being an interpreter, I can not only provide our foreign people the convenience in life but also let them know more about China. I am not saying that I want to wipe out some cultural barriers with my little effort; I am saying that I want to spare no effort to contribute to this great banquet.3. Place1. Places of Interest/Attractions= Description:If I’d had a chance to visit a place I’ve never been to, I would like to go to Impe rial Palace, which is also called Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of China.In the heart of Beijing, it is the largest and most complete imperial palace and an cient building complex in China, and the world at large. Its construction began in 1406 and was completed 14 years later, having a history so far of some 580 years. Twenty-four emperors from the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties lived and ru led China from there. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden City were rebuilt ma ny times, although they maintained the original architectural style.The reasons why I love there so much are based on the following aspects.First of all, the ancient buildings record the history path to tell us the legends of our ancestors, especially good for our young people to get familiar with our past. Furthermore, they are the symbols of Chinese traditional and rich culture.Last, they are standing there to make us understand our past; When we are facin g the past, what we must do is to absorb the essence and discard the dregs.2. Restaurants and Café:If I had to say what features of restaurant and caféI cared most, I would conside r them from the following three angles.First of all, the food there must be very delicious and nutritious. I like something pretty from appearance and tasty from inside. It is better to taste it like my mom’s cuisine because it makes me feel I am the happiest in the world. Like hotpot. I feel good when I am having it.Second, the service there must be very considerate, which means, the waiters and waitresses there must be very nice and patient.Last, the atmosphere there must be very comfortable. Like the sofa there makes m e feel at home and I can sit there for a whole day without tiredness. There better has some light music and quiet surroundings because I usually want to have a ni ce conversation with my friends.Those aspects I’ve mentioned above are the standards I care when I choose to go to a restaurant.3. Favorite Room=description:My favorite room is my living room. It’s rectangular with the door on the left side of the south wall. In the wall opposite the door is a picture window. Below the window is a sofa. A rectangular coffee table is in front of sofa. Facing the sofa ar e two armchairs. An abstract painting is on the west wall. This bright and unclutt ered room is my best place to hide from outside world to make me relax, think fr eely, and live comfortably.4. Object:1. Internet:One of the most important inventions in the past 100 years, for me, is the intern et and it has greatly changed our life from the following benefits it has brought to our life.First of all, we have emails, the innovative way of writing letters because of the in ternet. With emails, we don’t have to go to the post office to buy some envelopes and stamps to send letters. All we have to do is just to click on th e “send’ butto n and in no minute, it may help us send 10 mails at one time. What is more, wecan not only send the content we want to say to our friends but also attach the pictures, music and even video to the email if we want to share them with friend s.Second, with internet, we have MSN to take place international phone-call, which means we save not only money but time. If you have a camera, you can see the f aces of your friends.Other two points:1.Online shopping, like buying books on 2.E-business, an innovative way of doing business; it provides another platform of trading goods with cheaper cost on place and a“win-win” solution for both buyers and sellers, like 2. Poem:Among novel, magazine and poem, I like poem best. I love poem the first time I read a poem called “Auguries of Innocence” by William Blake; it is read like “To s ee a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.” I lov e it firstly because it tells a prof ound meaning within such a few words, which teaches me how to write concisely. Furthermore, every poem has its own rhythm inside of it. Learning about rhythm does so great to my future because it tells me how to see the beauty. Last, poem is one form of arts, and I can learn how to appreciate arts.3. Musicals:Among drama, comedy and musicals, I prefer musicals because of the following as pects. First and foremost, I can learn how to sing some English songs. I clearly re membered the first time I saw a musical called “the Sound of Music”, I was so cr azy about it. Especially, when I was hearing the famous song, “Do-Re-Mi”, I could n’t help learning to sing it right away with such a melody. Furthermore, since mu sicals are composed of four elements, which are music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance. I can not only learn those beautiful songs, but also learn the foreign cultu re by understanding those spoken dialogues. The cozy plots teach me that for a fa mily, the most important thing is to take care of every family member with all res pect and love. Last, inspired by that great musical, I happen to love seeing musica ls, which offers me a great path to get close to arts.4. Transformation:When it comes to the most efficient transportation, I would like to say the subwa y with the following aspects. First of all, unlike automobile, subway never costs to o much oil so that it won’t cause heavy air pollution to the city; and if there is t he decreasing air pollution, it will ease the severe global warming to some extent. Besides, it is faster than driving a car since there will be no traffic jam at all. Wit h the time saved, we can have a nice breakfast and even feel fresh after we arrive at our office every morning. And since there is no traffic jam, it will decrease th e accide nts and numbers of people’s dying from the car crash.5. City (Integrated):Friend, places of interests, restaurant and café。

托福考试口语范例1. IntroductionIn the TOEFL exam, the speaking section assesses a candidate's ability to communicate effectively in English. This section is divided into six tasks, including independent and integrated speaking tasks. This article aims to provide some TOEFL speaking task examples along with sample responses to help test-takers understand the format and expectations of this section.2. Independent Speaking Task Examples2.1 Task 1: Favorite PlaceDescribe your favorite place to relax.

The calming ambiance allows me to escape from the daily hustle and bustle. I find solace in sitting on a bench, reading a book, and enjoying the fresh air.2.2 Task 2: Personal PreferenceDo you prefer studying alone or in a group? Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each.Sample Response:Personally, I prefer studying alone as it allows me to focus and concentrate without any distractions. When I study alone, I can set my ownpace and review difficult concepts without feeling rushed. However, studying in a group can be beneficial for discussion-based learning and exchanging ideas. Group study sessions provide opportunities for collaboration and clarifying doubts by engaging with peers.3. Integrated Speaking Task Examples3.1 Task 3: Campus AnnouncementThe university plans to build a new library. The students have two options: convert an existing building or construct a new one. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option.Sample Response:Converting an existing building into a library has its advantages.

However, constructing a new building allows for a customized design that can specifically cater to a library's requirements. Additionally, a new building can incorporate modern technologies and facilities, providing a better overall experience for the students.3.2 Task 4: Lecture SummarySummarize the main points of the lecture on climate change and its impact on the environment.Sample Response:The lecture discussed the adverse effects of climate change on the environment. The speaker emphasized that rising temperatures contribute tothe melting of polar ice caps, leading to the rise in sea levels. This, in turn, causes coastal flooding and threatens various ecosystems.

As individuals develop from infant to child to adult, they literally "learn their place," including the positions they will occupy and the roles attached to those positions in social systems.

Periods of sleep between sessions of learning will help people retain what they learn.Sleep has at least two separate effects on learning: sleep consolidates memories, protecting them against later interference or loss, and it also appears to recover or restore memories.

These conditions were ideally fulfilled by the chase film, which flourished internationally in the years 1903 to 1913. All that filmmakers needed to do was to establish some offense—a theft, an insult, or a boy's naughty behavior—and then launch a humorous chase after the offender. The chase could be extended for several minutes, through any number of successive scenes and situations.Q UESTION 3SPEAKING, Track 48Describe the man's problem and the suggestions his adviser makes about what to do.

They undergo chemical reactions that produce a dark haze of sulfuric acid droplets. This haze reflects incoming sunlight and cools the underlying atmosphere, thereby changing the climate. The effect of a single volcanic eruption can last for several years.Scientists believe that the smoke from wildfires may have a similar effect on the chemistry of the atmosphere.SPEAKING & WRITING, Track 4Explain how forest fires are related to climate change, and compare this to the effect of volcanic eruptions.Q UESTION 5SPEAKING & WRITING, Track 5Describe the man's problem and the two suggestions the professor makes about how to solve it.What do you think the man should do, and why?Q UESTION 6SPEAKING & WRITING, Track 6Using points and examples from the talk, explain the three main ways that manufacturers sell goods to consumers.Quiz 8Q UESTION 1SPEAKING & WRITING, Track 7What is the best gift you have ever received?

托福口语 speaking全功略
de基本上粗粗地完成了6个问题的总结，下面介绍下口语在考试的时候得注意点：可以影响口语考试的因素一般有以下几个：(1)进入考场的顺序，听到不少板油在嚷，进入考场太晚，受到干扰之类的(2)话筒，看到不少人后悔考试的时候忘了对准麦克风，分数只有14，15分(3)声音的大小，到了考场就知道，这样的考试方法注定在考口语的时候非常混乱，闹哄哄的，所以声音小的人，必然吃亏(4)小聪明，看多很多人在口语考试的时候先听别人讲，然后再自己开始，以为这样可以听到题目。
偶在现场试过，实际上比较困难，会听到别人回答的内容，但是你不能确实推断出题目，会影响对题目的第一判断。
偶考试的时候吃亏在第一题，因为听到一个朋友在回答，稍稍听了一下他的回答，但是导致自己跟着他的思路走，考试的时候忘了后面怎么回答，因为只听到部分。
(5)紧张，这个每个人都有当然问题还有很多，目前偶所知的就这些，那么如何避免以上这些问题呢：(1)关于进入考场的顺序，老师一般是按照名字字母的顺序ABCD...安排考位的，偶当时考得时候Ｚ，最后第三个进去，做听力最后几段的时候，的确不少朋友开始试音了，对听力有部分干扰。
考口语的时候，少数先进去的讲完了，但是大部分人都还在讲，感觉现场比较乱，如果心理状态不是很好的朋友，很容易受到干扰。
所以就口语而言，其实先进的朋友还是有一定优势的。
当然有部分朋友会觉得如果先进的话，就不能使所谓的"小聪明" ,这就是问题4，先提上来解决。
(4) 很多人有机经看多了，有这样的心态，想到现场听题，因为的确是完全有机会听到别人的回答。
但是这边给个良心建议，考试的时候千万不要报这种心态，非常影响考试的情绪，原因我也讲过了，如果抱着这种心态，你会千方百计去听别人的回答，而完全忘记的自己准备的内容。
所以奉劝各位一句：如果你是花时间准备了，相信自己，不需要这种手段，同样可以考好。
(2)关于话筒，其实没有所谓的什么位置最好，只要你考试的时候注意把话筒拿下来，拉到嘴巴边，就可以了。
