In the year Nineteen-Oh-Five, Albert Einstein published some important papers in a German scientific magazine, including one of the most important scientific documents in history.Albert Einstein's theories of relativity are about the basic ideas we use to describe natural happenings. They are about time, space, mass, movement, and gravity. This theory offered new ideas about gravity and the close relationship between matter and energy. Besides his scientific achievements, he was a simple man in life and showed an inner joy when he was playing his violin or talking about his work. That’s why I admire him most.AthleteThe athlete I like most is Liu Xiang who is one of the most famous athletes in China. He not only won Gold medal at the Athens Olympics but also keeps the world record. He sets a good example to indicate that persistence and hard working make perfect. His spirits encourage lots of young people in our country. Furthermore, he is a kind-hearted person as well. He has donated his precious track shoes to charity foundations. So，because of these contributions and good characters, I regard Liu Xiang as my favorite athlete.Normal peopleMotherMy mother has influenced me greatly in the past years. Since she suffered from an incurable disease more than twenty years ago and was told that this disease may cause greater pain than cancer could.But she held a positive attitude towards life and always told me that we should not yield to disasters in life but to strive for hope and spare no effort to realize our dream. Her perseverance and determination have told me what true bravery is and stimulated me to pursue my goal and cherish what we have. That’s why I regard my mother as the most important/influential person in my life. TeacherThe teacher who influences me most is my teacher of Architecture history because she changed my attitude towards designing. She is an excellent designer with a great passion for architecture and teaching. In addition, she respects our individual understanding of the distinctive styles in history and encourages us to pursue our own way of learning and designing. As my tutor, she gives me advice not only on my design work but also on the difficulties I meet in school life. Besides, she is an easy-going person so we always have discussions freely. During the years on the campus, I gradually formed my new ideas of design, passion, and independent thinking. That’s why I think she is the best teacher.性格：你认为作为一个朋友最重要的特点是什么/what qualities should a leader have/一个人在团队工作中最重要的quality/好老师的character/一个你敬佩的人的好性格/what do you think are the characteristics of a good parent?The characteristics of friendsThere are several characteristics that I think a true friend should have. First, a true friend should be sincere. That means he or she becomes my friend just for me, not for my possession, power or other considerations. And a true friend should be candid, which means when I’m going to do something wrong, he or she would dissuade me and they would not just flatter me but point out my defects. Second, I believe that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When I’m in trouble, he or she is here and supports me; when I’m depressed, he or she would stay with me and encourage me. In addition, a true friend should be reliable enough so that I can share my secrets and feelings with him or her. Therefore, I think these are the important characteristics that a true friend should have.The characteristics of a leaderThere are several characteristics that I think a leader should have. First, a good leader should acquire the ability to organize people with different backgrounds. A leader may be patient enough to listen to his underlings and still keep his own mind. As a leader, he or she might encounter disputes among team members in making a decision. In that case, he or she must be careful enough to analyze the proposals and decisive enough to make the final decision. In addition, a good leader should treat team members fairly without bias or discrimination, which would greatly stimulate those diligent members so the efficiency of the whole team can be improved. Therefore, I think they are the most important characteristics.The characteristics of a teacherIn my opinion, a good teacher should first love the job and then love his or her students and treat them fairly without bias or discrimination. A good teacher must be patient enough to teach his or her students and stimulate their interest in pursuing what they like. Besides, knowledge is not the only thing that students should acquire at school, I think. Teachers should be open-minded to encourage students to understand the idea of independent thinking so that students could learn more by themselves. A good teacher will not tell students all the answers but leave them a space to work it out themselves. Besides, teachers are supposed to instruct students to respect and love their fellows. In short, love for the job and students, patience and desire tostimulate students’potential, instruction of love and respect are the most important characteristics a good teacher should possess.The characteristics of a parentIn my opinion, good parents should be patient enough to listen to their children and stimulate their interest in pursuing what they like. Parents are supposed to be open-minded to encourage children to understand the idea of independent thinking so that they could learn to deal with their own work. Besides, parents’ behavior and personal values will influence their children so parents need to pay attention to children’s health both physical and psychological and don’t put much press on their kids. In short, patience, understanding, and tolerance are the most important characteristics that good parents should have.The characteristics in teamworkIn my opinion, the good characteristics for a person in a team should include reliability, loyalty, patience, skill of good communication and passion for work. First, a reliable and loyal team member will always get work done and meet the requirements. In addition, members in a team need to deal with affairs together so a good communication skill will be indispensable for a member to work with his colleagues efficiently. Besides, a person with great desire and passion will work positively and actively so the efficiency of the whole team can be improved. And great passion often makes the person strive for better performance and improvement of their products or service. In short, I think these are good characteristics of a team member.PlaceA country：If you could live abroad, where would you go/ What place you never visited before do you want to visit most/ Describe a place you have never been to but like to go someday.The country I’d like to visit most should be Norway. First it’s said that the country’s name “Norway” means the way to the north. I live in south China so I always have a plan of going to north regions to enjoy the different and fresh landscape there, especially the snow in winter. It never snows in my home town and the city I’m living in. Second, I heard of Norway from fairy stories when I was still a little kid. So I always hope that I could go there some day. Besides, I’m very interested in different cultures around the world, especially those different from my own. In addition, I made several Norwegian friends last year when they visited my campus. So I hope to meet them in their country. I think they are the main reasons.A public area: Talk about you favorite park or public area/你和朋友在一起的时候喜欢去哪个地方/介绍你最喜欢的城市的一个地方In my spare time, I like to go to the stadium in the city and the sports center there. First, taking exercise there is very interesting and often I could meet new people and play together. Sometimes we could become friends after having fun. In addition, the sports facilities there are excellent and I could find almost whatever I’d like to play with. Besides, I like the environment around the center because of the fresh air and grassland. Sometimes I go there not for sports but for relaxation with friends or for taking photos. That’s because I like photography and this is an ideal place. Even walking around here would relieve my stress, especially after several days of hard work. That’s why I like to go there.如果你去restaurant 或者café，你总注意的是什么features. Features of cafe or restaurant you like If I choose a restaurant or café, I think the most important factor is the food and drink provided there. Of course I would like to go to restaurants with delicious food. In addition, the environment there should be elegant and free of noise so that I could meet friends there and have a niceconversation. Besides, the service in that restaurant should be nice and attentive so I would enjoy every second staying there and like to go back some day later. One of the reasons for going to restaurants is that I like to try new foods. Consequently an attractive restaurant should try to offer something new and keep those popular ones.Hometown: The favorite place in your town.When you are away from home, what do you miss most?When I am away from hometown, the place that occurs to me most should be my home, especially my bedroom. My bedroom is the private space where I can do whatever I want to. When I was tired, I liked to lie down on my big bed and listen to favorite music. When I was excited, I would try out new ideas and watch movies or play card games with my best friends there. Sometimes we just talked with each other and confided our own secrets which we wouldn’t tell our parents. Besides, I would like to paint and make sketches in my bedroom because I can concentrate on my work without disturbance.Home: Which room do you like most?同上ExperienceImpressed experience: an enjoyable event impressed in your childhood/说一个参加过的memorial 活动/most memorable events in your childhood.The most memorable event in my life is the moment when I first arrived at this city four years ago and got off the train. It was pretty hot that evening. I knew I was supposed to spend five years here and I was curious to meet my new classmates in this college. When I got out of the railway station, I looked out into the buildings along the road. Everything seemed fresh to me and I even began to imagine the landscape and architecture on the campus. That was the beginning of my college life and the five years will greatly influence my future life so I think it is the most memorable one.Important decisionThe most important decision for me is to choose to study architecture in this university. Upon high school graduation, I had to choose from plenty of universities and majors so I followed my desire and passion. I like the feeling of being a designer, the feeling of doing something new, something creative. Architecture is just one ideal choice which requires innovation and creativity. Besides I grow up in a small city where the local environment is getting worse and worse. I hope that I could gain the ability of architectural and landscape design so as to serve both the community and my own calling. In addition, this decision is of great importance to me because the five years I have to spend on campus are the essential period in my life. That’s why I think it the most important decision.Embarrassing momentThe most embarrassing moment I have ever experienced is that I slept in the class of architecture history but suddenly fell down to the ground. On that day I took the architecture history class in the afternoon. But I have been working on several other subjects for days and have to hand in the design assignments before that afternoon. So I didn’t sleep the last night and felt quite sleepy in the class. Finally I had a nap during the break and suddenly fell down to the ground.I was so embarrassed because the teacher and all the other students were staring at me. What a big surprise. I guess that might be the most embarrassing one.Challenging: Describe one of your challenging experience你怎么攻克的Opportunity: 说一个你有过得opportunity，并解释。

Secondly, they use songs, dances, fabulous sets and costumes to make the words to life. What’s more, they are not only singing but also telling a touchin g story. All of these factors make me love it so much. When I watching a musical, I feel myself is in the story and is singing with them. In addition, the origins of the musicals are attracting me a lot too.

Include reasons and examples tosupport your responseMy favorite music is pop music /I am more interested in pop music than classical music.On the one hand, it is easy to understand and close to our lives. That’s why so many people love it.Meanwhile, by listening to pop music, I can keep up with the time. On the other hand, although classical music has so much more depth and meaning, I haven’t got the appetite to enjoy yet. Theoretically speaking, pop music is roughly divided into two types: music which stimulates people and music which calms us. It seems that music which stimulates us gives rise to actual changes in our bodies. So if I am tired or drowsy during my work hour I will choose the stimulating music, because if we listen to it, our hearts beat faster , our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows more quickly. On the other hand, I’ll listen to calming music. In this way, my heart beats more gently, my pressure drops, and I feel calm. The sooth flowing melodies help me relax.I really enjoy listening to music and pop music or pop song is my favorite. One reason is that most lyrics of the pop music are about every-day life, so they are quite comfortable, relaxing and easy to remember. Another reason is that being quite a good singer myself, I really love to sing pop songs, and my favorite singers and bands include Backstreet boys, Westlife, M2M and Ace of Base. Finally, to me, pop music is far more than the music itself. It gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas which helped me to do a better job in many other things. For examples, I once cited a few lines from “the day you went away” by M2M in one of my essays, and my teacher said it was very touching.4. ■35 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

It is well known that the first step to acquire one language is to remember a lot of words. However, many English words have more than meanings and my confuse us. The dictionary can help you get over by offering many detailed explanations and examples. In addition, you can also learn how to apply the new words into writing and speaking by studying the examples earnestly. Furthermore, you can learn alot of knowledge beside the word. For example, it is very likely that a good dictionary illustrate a specific animal or plant with a picture. Thus, we get more information out of the dictionary.3.

Describe your favorite book. Explain why you like it most. Include details and examples inyour explanation.In my opinion, the book I like most is Five Thousand Years of China. First, I learn Chinese history from the book. I think all those history stories should be known by Chinese. History has its own great value.

In your opinion, what are some important qualities of a good leader? Use reasons and specificexamples to explain why these qualities are important. ★ [2006.10.21]From my own experience, I am the chairwoman of my class for more than six years, after attending to university ,I became the chairwomen of the students government of my university. I think I have the ability to lead. Second, I want to use my vision, and thought to lead people, of course listen to the others’ opinion appropriately. At last ,I think although I am not a pr efect leader ,but I want to train myself .since I want to be start my own business or be a generalmanager in the future, leadership is a curial factor to my career. I think I have the potential ability to be a nice leader, but I have to learn more and gain more experience.I think a leader needs at least two important characteristics. First, a leader should be good at management. There are usually a great number of members under the charge of one leader, so a leader is supposed to organize everything well in order to make a company run smoothly. Secondly, a good leader should be good at making decisions. A good and correct decision can lead to the final success, whereas a wrong and delayed decision may bring about disasters to the company. Of course, this skill requires a lot of working experience.Obviously, there are some other important characteristics of a good leader, but these two are the most important, in my mind.2. ■18 What are some important qualities of a good supervisor (boss)?

If we can’t bring it with us, why we buy a cell phone then? Secondly, now cell phone is not only just a phone, but also a calculator, dictionary or recorder. We need to use these functions to help us study in the lecture. What’s more, in my point of view, students should have the right to bring their cell phone, although they have the duty to set cell phones on the vibrate or silent mold and thus not to disturb the lecture. Banning to bring cell phone is unnecessary and disobliging.11.

Colleagues 同事1. ■22 We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In youropinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.First, a colleague is supposed to be efficient in work. When given a task by the boss, all the team members should take their duties and cooperate well in order to finish it quickly. If one of the colleagues is slow and left behind, a project will be delayed.Secondly, I think a colleague should be ready to help others. When a new employee comes to the company, he knows little about the work, so it is his colleagues who are supposed to help him. But there are some staff members who wouldn’t like to help others, for they are afraid that others will excel them afterwards. Certainly, it has a toll on the company.Work is a serious business, and must be approached with a serious attitude. An office worker should has a serious attitude if he want further promotion.On the whole, in the modern society, all colleagues have to cooperate with each other. So these characteristics are of great importance.16. Communication交流1. ■49 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communicationis better than other types of communication, such as letters, e-mail, or telephone calls. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.I usually contact my family and friends via Emails because I think with internet connection, emails has offered me quite a few advantages. For example, it’s really convenient for me to write to my friends, at any place and any time. Also, it’s ok if yo u write something wrong, because you may always change and organize your language before sending the message. Meanwhile, compared with emails, telephone seems to be a little bit out of date. It might be kind of disturbing to call at an inappropriate time, say, if my parent is taking a shower or something. Also, if you contact people by telephone, you know, what is said is said. You can’t change it. So you have to be very careful not to be rude or anything. So that’s why I really prefer using emails.Although nowadays, many people choose to contact other people via emails, I still prefer using telephone. Especially if I have something urgent, I will always choose to call, because if you write emails, the people on the other side might not check them very soon. Even if they check them, they might not respond in a timely manner. Also, I prefer to contact by phone because I like to hear my friends’ voices, especially if I haven’t been contacting them for quite some time, I will definitely call to make a little surprise. Finally, whenever I have some important personal things to talk through with my friends or my parents, I will make a phone call, because I don’t think I can express myself fully via emails, and calling makes much more effective exchange of ideas.2. ■88 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

It is a case study project, and as the leader, I have to conduct interviews with world famous companies such as Shell, BP, and Bayer, and I also have to write case reports for them, both in English and in Chinese. I also need to coordinate the whole group of 12 students joining this project, including 3 MBA students. The whole process is a huge challenge for me, especially during the discussion sessions, when all the memb ers come together to review each others’ case reports. And I have to coordinate different opinions and incorporate them into the final version of the reports. But it’s also fun. I learned a lot, and I made a lot of social connections.2.

It is very hard because first, there is lots of similar companies are running the same business in Shanghai. It is hard to gather enough useful information. And even if I have the information. There are numerous factor could influence the result. So I can’t decide how the analyze and have a feasible conclusion. To overcome the problem, I made good efforts to gather information. I even pay visits to the compete companies and talked to the managers of them. And then I ask help to my professor who is an expert in the data mining area. Using his practical advice I solve the problem at last.3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Your life is more difficult than yougrandparents’ life?★[2007.3.4/北美2007.3.7]22. Doing Research 做科研1. Some students like to do research on the internet. Other students prefer to use their universitylibrary. Explain which of these you prefer and why. Include details and examples in your explanation. ★ [2006]I prefer academic books or journals. First and foremost, the information in the Internet is either incomplete or not valuable. Books have complete research paper and have enough depth to help me with my research. Second, even if there is valuable information in the Internet, it is not free, you have to pay. Since I am a university student and our school has a wonderful library. I can always borrow books at school. Why I waste money in the Internet then? Finally, suffering the Internet is indeed time consuming. It cost me lots of time to search for the useful information. Borrow a book in the library or buy one in the book store is much easier and can save a lot of time for me.23. Doing Things 做事情1. ■27 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Include reasons and examples tosupport your responseMy favorite music is pop music /I am more interested in pop music than classical music.On the one hand, it is easy to understand and close to our lives. That’s why so many people love it.Meanwhile, by listening to pop music, I can keep up with the time. On the other hand, although classical music has so much more depth and meaning, I haven’t got the appetite to enjoy yet. Theoretically speaking, pop music is roughly divided into two types: music which stimulates people and music which calms us. It seems that music which stimulates us gives rise to actual changes in our bodies. So if I am tired or drowsy during my work hour I will choose the stimulating music, because if we listen to it, our hearts beat faster , our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows more quickly. On the other hand, I’ll listen to calming music. In this way, my heart beats more gently, my pressure drops, and I feel calm. The sooth flowing melodies help me relax.I really enjoy listening to music and pop music or pop song is my favorite. One reason is that most lyrics of the pop music are about every-day life, so they are quite comfortable, relaxing and easy to remember. Another reason is that being quite a good singer myself, I really love to sing pop songs, and my favorite singers and bands include Backstreet boys, Westlife, M2M and Ace of Base. Finally, to me, pop music is far more than the music itself. It gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas which helped me to do a better job in many other things. For examples, I once cited a few lines from “the day you went away” by M2M in one of my essays, and my teacher said it was very touching.4. ■35 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

If we can’t bring it with us, why we buy a cell phone then? Secondly, now cell phone is not only just a phone, but also a calculator, dictionary or recorder. We need to use these functions to help us study in the lecture. What’s more, in my point of view, students should have the right to bring their cell phone, although they have the duty to set cell phones on the vibrate or silent mold and thus not to disturb the lecture.

Secondly, a good environmental condition may attract more tourists from other places. Dalian did a good job in this aspect, and I believe my hometown may do the same.

I was so surprised because I had never expected my parents would send me any gift for a children’s day. Especially the gift is a live, lovely puppy! That is my happiest day in my life. I also was touched. I knew my parents didn’t like pets at all. They sacrificed themselves to make me happy. I was so touched that I cried happily. I really love the puppy so much.

Colleagues 同事1. ■22 We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In youropinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.First, a colleague is supposed to be efficient in work. When given a task by the boss, all the team members should take their duties and cooperate well in order to finish it quickly. If one of the colleagues is slow and left behind, a project will be delayed.Secondly, I think a colleague should be ready to help others. When a new employee comes to the company, he knows little about the work, so it is his colleagues who are supposed to help him. But there are some staff members who wouldn’t like to help others, for they are afraid that others will excel them afterwards. Certainly, it has a toll on the company.Work is a serious business, and must be approached with a serious attitude. An office worker should has a serious attitude if he want further promotion.On the whole, in the modern society, all colleagues have to cooperate with each other. So these characteristics are of great importance.16. Communication交流1. ■49 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communicationis better than other types of communication, such as letters, e-mail, or telephone calls. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.I usually contact my family and friends via Emails because I think with internet connection, emails has offered me quite a few advantages. For example, it’s real ly convenient for me to write to my friends, at any place and any time. Also, it’s ok if you write something wrong, because you may always change and organize your language before sending the message. Meanwhile, compared with emails, telephone seems to be a little bit out of date. It might be kind of disturbing to call at an inappropriate time, say, if my parent is taking a shower or something. Also, if you contact people by telephone, you know, what is said is said. You can’t change it. So you have to be v ery careful not to be rude or anything. So that’s why I really prefer using emails.Although nowadays, many people choose to contact other people via emails, I still prefer using telephone. Especially if I have something urgent, I will always choose to call, because if you write emails, the people on the other side might not check them very soon. Even if they check them, they might not respond in a timely manner. Also, I prefer to contact by phone because I like to hear my friends’ voices, especially if I haven’t been contacting them for quite some time, I will definitely call to make a little surprise. Finally, whenever I have some important personal things to talk through with my friends or my parents, I will make a phone call, because I don’t think I can express myself fully via emails, and calling makes much more effective exchange of ideas.2. ■88 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Telephones and e-mail havemade communication between people less personal. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.3. ■8 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Includereasons and examples to support your response. ★ [北美2006.8.26/2007.3.3]The most challenging experience I have been through was when I was selected to be the group leader and the chief coordinator for the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project at Peking University. It is a case study project, and as the leader, I have to conduct interviews with world famous companies such as Shell, BP, and Bayer, and I also have to write case reports for them, both in English and in Chinese. I also need to coordinate the whole group of 12 students joining this project, including 3 MBA students. The whole process is a huge challenge for me, especially during the discussion sessions, when all the memb ers come together to review each others’ case reports. And I have to coordinate different opinions and incorporate them into the final version of the reports. But it’s also fun. I learned a lot, and I made a lot of social connections.2. Describe one difficulty you have encountered and how you overcome it. Include reasons anddetails to support your response. ★ [2006.8.26]I encountered a big difficulty in my internship at an e-commerce Inc. My boss asked me to do research about whether we have a market in Shanghai. Since our main market now is out broad. It is very hard because first, there is lots of similar companies are running the same business in Shanghai. It is hard to gather enough useful information. And even if I have the information. There are numerous factor could influence the result. So I can’t decide how the analyze and have a feasible conclusion. To overcome the problem, I made good efforts to gather information. I even pay visits to the compete companies and talked to the managers of them. And then I ask help to my professor who is an expert in the data mining area. Using his practical advice I solve the problem at last.3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Your life is more difficult than yougrandparents’ life?★[2007.3.4/北美2007.3.7]22. Doing Research 做科研1. Some students like to do research on the internet. Other students prefer to use their universitylibrary. Explain which of these you prefer and why. Include details and examples in your explanation. ★ [2006]I prefer academic books or journals. First and foremost, the information in the Internet is either incomplete or not valuable. Books have complete research paper and have enough depth to help me with my research. Second, even if there is valuable information in the Internet, it is not free, you have to pay. Since I am a university student and our school has a wonderful library. I can always borrow books at school. Why I waste money in the Internet then? Finally, suffering the Internet is indeed time consuming. It cost me lots of time to search for the useful information. Borrow a book in the library or buy one in the book store is much easier and can save a lot of time for me.23. Doing Things 做事情1. ■27 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do。

承认grades的一些意义的情况下，指出grades的众多副作用。
观点：Grades not always encourage students to learn.• Grade对学生的好处：便于教学体系的整体管理。
有利于学生循序渐进(follow the principle of gradual improvement)地学习。
可以使学生了解自我的学习效果。
•Grade带来的副作用：无情的竞争使学生们为了高分而不择手段(resort to every expedient)，比如作弊(cheat)。
高分带来骄傲(arrogant; be too big for one's shoes/boots)，而低分使学生灰心失望(lose hope)甚至放弃(abandon learning motivation)。

Which activity do you think is better for students, and why? Include details and examples in your explanation. Students have to write papers and give oral presentations. I think oral presentations are better because they are easier and take less time to prepare. Another reason is oral presentations are interesting for other students who are listening. Finally, many jobs require oral presentations. Therefore, students can learn an important skill and develop confidence in speaking to a group.I think writing paper is better for students. Firstly we need to develop strong writing skills. We go to school mainly to learn reading and writing, so we need a lot of practice. Exam requires a lot of writing, so writing papers is good preparation. Also, I think writing is a better way to show that I understand. When I write a paper, I can think deeply because I have more time to explain my ideas.托福独立口语题库答题要点解析：家庭Family 家庭1. ■2 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

托福独立口语3选1题型高分回答模板
托福独立口语3选1题型高分回答模板托福独立口语TASK1是口语部分的开场第1题，因此能否顺利答好这道题会影响到考生之后的心态和表现。
而在TASK1的多种题型中，如今出现频率越来越高的3选1题型也是大家需要优先练习的题型。
一、托福独立口语TASK1的3选1题型结构很简单，就是问考生一个问题，然后给出大家3个选项要求从中选择一个来展开叙述的题型，比如：Your degree requires that you should choose a history course. Which of the following courses would you prefer? (1) Art history (2) Twentieth-century world history (3) Science history这道题就是标准的3选1题。
之所以说这个题型高频，是因为这个题型比较符合如今托福独立口语部分的出题趋势。
二、托福独立口语3选1题型2种高分应答模板（一）3选1题型高分应答模板：正向展开正向展开模板的基本思路就是按照题目给出的要求进行正面论述。
因为3选1的题目要求考生选择其一进行展开，那么比较标准的模式就是先给出开场定论，直接说出自己选择了哪一个选项。
紧接着给出两个选择这一选项的原因，并分别给出一个例子进行支持。
最后再进行结论收尾。
当然，如果有些同学控制不好时间来不及结尾也不要强行结尾赶时间，把之前两个理由和例子都说好得分会更高一些。
但如果大家想要追求口语高分，那么说完结尾还是很有必要的。
这个应答模板其实和托福独立口语其它题型的回答方式差不多，属于较为标准的模板。
下面来看一个之前给出题目的回答实例：If I had to choose between art history, twentieth-century world history, or science history, I would always choose art history. To begin, my favorite types of museums are art museums. I enjoy looking at the art and trying to interpret how people were feeling, or what they were going through at that time. Second, compared to traditional history courses, art history can give a different perspective on a certain time period. Rather than hear facts and figures, art history courses give you the opportunity to see how common people felt in that time. For example, people who lived through the war may paint scenes of how traditional towns were, rather than hear about the fighting and conflict like you would in a history. For these two reasons, I would prefer to take an art history class.上面这个实例就是正向展开式的应答模板，考生直接选择了题目3个选项中的art history，然后分别给出两个选择的理由，再配合例子进行论述，最后完美收尾。

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. ★ [2006.10.28]I like musical best. First of all, I love music very much, and musical is a distinctive and amazing way to express music. Secondly, they use songs, dances, fabulous sets and costumes to make the words to life. What's more, they are not only singing but also telling a touching story. All of these factors make me love it so much. When I watching a musical, I feel myself is in the story and is singing with them. In addition, the origins of the musicals are attracting me a lot too. I dream to pay visits to the Broadway in the US or the West End in London. And I want to find how the musical evolved from there. All in all, musical is really fascinating.2.

First of all, after watch cosmic dramas we can get up feeling full of energy and confident to manage the work of the rest day. It gives us a break from the tedious and hard work, the strict and shouting boss, and peer pressure from our coworker. For example, While watching comedies, you don't have agonize yourself to guess the deep meaning of the movie or point out the trick from the complicated plot. All you have to do is to lean back and enjoy the shows, you may get nothing but joy after the movie.3. Describe your favorite song/music. Explain why you like it. Include reasons and examples to support yourresponse My favorite music is pop music /I am more interested in pop music than classical music.On the one hand, it is easy to understand and close to our lives. That's why so many people love it. Meanwhile, by listening to pop music, I can keep up with the time. On the other hand, although classical music has so much more depth and meaning, I haven't got the appetite to enjoy yet. Theoretically speaking, pop music is roughly divided into two types: music which stimulates people and music which calms us. It seems that music which stimulates us gives rise to actual changes in our bodies. So if I am tired or drowsy during my work hour I will choose the stimulating music, because if we listen to it, our hearts beat faster , our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows more quickly. On the other hand, I'll listen to calming music. In this way, my heart beats more gently, my pressure drops, and I feel calm. The sooth flowing melodies help me relax.I really enjoy listening to music and pop music or pop song is my favorite. One reason is that most lyrics of the pop music are about every-day life, so they are quite comfortable, relaxing and easy to remember. Another reason is that being quite a good singer myself, I really love to sing pop songs, and my favorite singers and bands include Backstreet boys, Westlife,M2M and Ace of Base. Finally, to me, pop music is far more than the music itself. It gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas which helped me to do a better job in many other things. For examples, I once cited a few lines from “the day you went away” by M2M in one of my essays, and my teacher said it was very touching.4. ■35 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television.

托福独立口语TASK1高分解题思路和3大答题要点详细解读
托福独立口语TASK1高分解题思路和3大答题要点详细解读托福独立口语TASK1高分解题思路和3大答题要点详细解读托福独立口语答题思路要点：量化表达45秒内到底要说哪些内容，要怎样才能做到在短暂的时间里控制好节奏，并清晰有效地表达自己的观点?要回答这些问题，我们就首先要弄清楚，45秒内到底要说多少句。
根据老师经验，在保证口语清晰性和连贯性的情况下，45秒的时间里，应该把句子数量控制在9句话。
如果在规定的时间里说得太多太快，那么清晰性会受到很大影响。
反之，如果说得太少太慢，那么表达时的衔接可能就不是非常连贯。
而9句话的量，相对于45秒的时间来说，压力并不是非常大，考生可以很从容地说完。
对于语速偏慢的考生，可能45秒之内很难说到9句话。
考生如果有这种情况，应该先进行一段时间的快速朗读训练，把自己的语速提上来，为进入下一步的训练打好基础。
对于在45秒之内能说出十几句的考生来说，最好适当地把节奏放慢一点。
因为考试是需要录音的，如果语速太快，录音的效果可能就不会太好了。
托福独立口语答题思路要点：掌握答题结构口语考试毕竟和平时的闲聊不同，要求回答问题具有一定的逻辑性，不能想到什么就说什么。
为了达到这一目的，考生应该掌握一些基本的答题结构。
新托福口语考试task1是选择性问题，其基本的回答结构可分为以下3种：两点式所谓两点式，就是用两点原因来阐释一个主题。
这种结构的优势在于内容丰富而全面，缺点在于可能出现两点原因重复，或是头重脚轻的现象。
根据一般规律，我们可以将两点式归纳成以下结构：主题句+支持句1+扩充1+支持句2+扩充2。
一点式与两点式不同的是，一点式只提出一点原因，后面配上一两个具体的例子进行进一步说明。
其基本结构可以归纳为：主题句+支持句+例子。
对比式如前文所述，task1是一个选择性的问题，一般要求考生在两个观点中做出选择，并加以阐释。
考生在回答task1时，可以对比一下这两个观点，进行正面和反面的对比。
托福口语独立部分答题技巧
托福口语独立部分答题技巧托福口语考试采纳的也是机考的方式，虽然很大同学不适应，但是在复习的时候，还是要注重这部分的备考。
在机考考试中，同学们还是必须要掌握一些答题的技巧，辅助我们更好的完成考试内容。
下面是我为您整理的关于托福口语独立部分答题技巧，希望对你有所帮助。
托福口语一共分为6个部分，分别为Task 1，Task 2，Task 3，Task4，Task5和Task6。
其中，Task 1和Task 2是独立口语，题目会直接显示在屏幕上面，耳机里面会有人读该题目，然后给你时间去准备，之后录音答题;Task 3和Task4则是必须要你先阅读一篇文章，然后耳机里面会有对话，再给你时间准备，最后再进行录音答题;Task5和Task6则是在Introduction之后直接就会有听力对话在耳机里面，之后给你时间准备答题，最后进行录音答题。
这里着重讲一下独立口语部分，也就是Task 1和Task 2。
在Task 1中，会问考生一个直接的问题，这个问题一般都是关于考生日常生活以及个人偏好方面的。
考生有15秒的时间准备，45秒的时间回答。
关于这类问题，考生可以进行自由选择自己的答案，比如："你喜爱什么食物?'"人们为什么旅行?'给出自己的回答和理由即可。
问答问题可以遵循以下步骤：Step 1：阅读提示Step 2：陈述自己的观点，给出自己的答案，如果必须要进行描述的话，再进行描述。
Step 3：给出自己的理由，进行进一步说明Step 4：给出例子或者细节，对自己的理由进行支撑Step 5：总结自己的观点为了方便大家理解，这里给出一个回答样例：Prompt: Why do people travel? Develop your opinion using examples and reasons.Sample Response:[State your opinion] Personally, I like travelling because it is a learning experience.[Supporting Details] For example, last year I went to Manhattan. I visited many famous places like the Met and Radio City Music Hall. The most interesting place was Ground Zero. Ground Zero is where the World Trade Center once stood. Now, its nothing but a big hole. On TV it doesnt look sobig. But seeing it in person, I had no idea it was so huge. Its like a big hole in the heart of the city. Looking at it made me realize that sometimes you just have to seethings with your own eyes. That way you can understand what really happened.[Conclusion] For those reasons, travelling to Manhattan was definitely a great learning experience for me.Task 2的时间与Task是相同的，但是Task 2 的题目跟Task 1是有一些区别的，题目是多项选择题目，一般都会给两个选项让考生去选择回答。
如何找出托福独立口语的答题重点
如何找出托福独立口语的答题重点基本知识在托福独立口语的两道题目中，第一题，第二题内容分布完全相同，并且这两题对时间把握尤其重要，要求考生实行“掐表”练习，对45s 有感性理解。
所以尽快找出托福独立口语的答题重点，才能节约时间，在有限的时间完成答题。
例1：独立口语TASK1 的一道题目，Where would you like to live, mountain, forest, beach or desert?第一步：定位关键词看到这道题目，考生能够发现Where /live/ forest, beach or desert,这些是本道题目的关键词。
通过题目能够得知，考生应该在forest/ beach/ desert三个地方，选择一个最喜欢的地方实行描述。
第二步：简化题目知道关键词之后，考生要学会对题目实行简化，找出答题思路。
题目中让说在森林、海边和沙漠，你最喜欢哪个地方，这样就能够明确答题方向。
假如最喜欢森林，那么这道题目就能够简化成，描述森林这个地方，然后说出你喜欢的理由。
第三步：组织答题通过以上两个步骤其实已经找到了答题的重点，在这个步骤中就应该理清自己的思路，实行答题。
根据出题方向以及答题时间综合考虑后，考生能够用"两段式"，第一段说明自己的喜欢的地方，第二段说出喜欢森林的原因。
原因一，住在森林里能够亲近大自然;原因二，呼吸新鲜空气，有助于身体健康。
例2，独立口语TASK2 的一道题目，You can contact your family and friends by letter, email or telephone. Which method of communication is better than the others and why?第一步：定位关键词在这道题目中contact / letter, email or telephone，是本道题目的关键词。
