新托福T P O口语参考答案T P OThe following text is amended on 12 November 2020.a quality you think makes someone a valuable member f a team. Explain why you think it is an important quality for a team or g r o u p m e mb e r t o h a v e I think a valuable member of a team should be cooperative. If a member is cooperative, he or she will take the goal of the team as main goal not that of his or her own as the main goal. So he or she is willing to help other team members, to talk with others, to solve problems with others. Once I attended a computer program group. At that time we had four members and only one day left before we had to submit the program. So we all decided to gather together and stay overnight, writing the program, sharing ideas, discussing and solving problems. That was the time I felt we were like a team.people prefer to learn about current events from watching television news programs. Others prefer to read about current events in newspaper or on the Internet. Which do you think is better: watching the news or reading the news Explain why.I prefer watching the news to reading the new because watching the news can provide me with more details about what had happened. Usually in the video, I can see the scene, see the people and even hear their words. It seems as if I am in the scene. Besides, watching the news can get more objective information. Since thenews articles in the newspaper should be edited or censored, some important information may be omitted. However, videos news bringme to the scene and make me one of the witnesses. Even though, some might say videos can be clipped, I believe at the same censoring level, video is more objective than words.woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding the opinion.（题目并没有让我们总结阅读材料,所以阅读内容可说可不说）The girl doesn’t agree with the university on the plan. Firstly, she says that the teaching buildings aren’t just used for classes. They are also used by her evening study group. The group hold meetings in the classrooms. Now that it’s winter and cold, the study group has nowhere else to go. Secondly, she says the university shouldn’t disrupt the students’ academic study. There are many other things the university should do. The university can replace the old drafty windows that are poor isolated and alwayslet the cold in classrooms. Also, the old buildings are notenergy-efficient. So she thinks there are many basic improvements the university can do to make difference in the long-term andstill leave them somewhere to study.the example given by the professor, explain how franchising works. If someone opens a store or restaurant, he or she pays an established company to use the company’s name and sell thecompany’s products. This practice is called franchising. The professor uses an example to illustrate this practice. In the example, he wants to open a pizza restaurant. He wants to be successful, so he pays a big company that owns a chain of pizza restaurants called pizza town to use the name, pizza town. Since pizza town is already popular, it will surely sell well. So the new restaurant will have better chance to succeed. But in exchange, the new restaurant should follow the pizza town’s standard practice, selling pizzas like pizza town’s pizza, making store look like pizza town, and advertising like pizza town. So there is not much freedom. But the thing is they sell a lot of pizza.summarize the woman’s problem, then sate which solution youwould recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.The woman’s supervisor, Professor Green， is going to France fora semester, but she still needs a lot of help for her project. Professor Green’s suggestion is that professor Baker can help woman. But the woman doesn’t know professor Baker at all and professor Baker is specialized in another area, so they are not exactly the best matched. Another solution is that the woman can have Professor Green’s advice long distance. Professor Green can look at the woman’s data through emails. But there will be no one supervising the woman’s experiment. In my opinion, I would recommend the woman to take the first suggestion. Even ifprofessor Baker’s expertise is not the woman’s study area, as a great biologist, professor Baker is still able to advise the woman and may give her new perspectives.points and examples from the talk, describe the two defense mechanisms mentioned by the professor.The professor says when people experience difficult situations, they may feel helpless and have psychological pain. In order to psychologically protect themselves they will unconsciously use defense mechanisms. For example a woman has a pet dog for a long time. But one day the dog runs away, she looks everywhere and just can’t find him. She feels helpless and sad. The first defense mechanism to deal with the pain is fantasy. She will use imagination to invent a happy story in her mind. In the story anice family found the dog and feeds him well and the dog is playing, running around, having fun so she doesn’t have to feel sad. Another mechanism is sublimation. Sublimation turns negative emotions into something useful, practical. The woman may start a dog training school to prevent other people dogs from running away. So by using sublimation she redirects her negative feeling into a positive, constructive activity.。
新托福TPO口语参考题目答案——TPO7
题目1. If friends from another country were going to spend time in your country, what city or place would you suggest they visit? Using details and examples, explain why.答案I would suggest them to visit Chongqing. I lived there for five years so I am familiar with it. Firstly, Chongqing has a unique scenery. It’s a mountainous city. Because of this special terrain, the buildings and Pedestrian Malls are built in a different way from other cities. For example, the fourth floor of one building may be the ground level of another one. Secondly, Chongqing has many kinds of delicious food. Hot pot is like world-famous. Everyone in China knows it originate from Chongqing. Besides, there are some other famous food such as Kung Pao Chicken and double-cooked pork slices. Anyway, if one goes to Chongqing, one will feel that every meal is a feast.题目2. State whether you agree or disagree with the following statement. Then explain your reasons, using specific details in your explanation.Learning through online courses is more effective than learning in the traditional classroom setting.答案I think learning in traditional classrooms is better. The reason why I think so is that there are more interactions intraditional classrooms than in online courses. Students can have discussions and they see each other face to face. It’s highly probable that some of them will become friends. While in the online courses, students don’t know each other, they miss a chance of making friends. Also, in a traditional classroom, if a student doesn’t understand a concept or an idea, he or she can raise hand to ask the teacher directly. While in an online course, there is no chance for students to raise hands or to throw out questions immediately. Students in traditional classrooms not only learn the academic knowledge but also learn basic interpersonal interactions.I prefer to take academic courses on the Internet. Since the courses are offered online, I don’t have to live near campus. All I need is a computer and a well-connected Internet. I can study at home and anywhere convenient. Besides, I don’t have to worry about my housing, nor do I need to drive back and forth. So it saves me money and time. Also, it’s easier to record online courses so I can review the part I don’t understand. With the recorded courses, I can have a good review before final examination.(同TPO4第二题)3. The woman expresses her opinion of the university's plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.答案The university is planning to discontinue the sculpture course because students lack interest in it and the department’s only professor is retiring. The woman in the conversation thinks the university has got it all wrong. The low enrollment in the sculpture course is not due to students’ lack of interest but to students’ lack of time. Sculpture course is optional. The required courses such as painting and drawing take much of the students’ time. Besides, the woman thinks the university can hire a part-time teacher to teach sculpture course. There are many professors who have secondary fields. For instance, many painting teachers are also good sculptors. The woman is sure that these professors can teach the sculpture course.题目4. Using the example from the lecture, explain what behavior modification is and how it works.答案Behavior modification is a phenomenon that individuals change their behaviors based on what they have learned about theconsequences of certain behaviors. The professor uses an example to illustrate the phenomenon. In the example, at the beginning, the kids at school don’t know the rules of class. They may interrupt the teacher, walk around the classroom. The teacher gets angry with them, so the kids get published. They have to sit in the classroom when everyone else is playing outside. They don’t like this consequence. They know these behaviors get them in trouble. So they start to raise hand, sit quietly, and pay attention to the teacher. They get reward from doing so. The teacher may say that she is proud of them and maybe put happy face stickers on their homework. Now that their behaviors get good reactions from teacher, the kids learn to always act like this. 题目5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman ‘s problem. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.答案The woman’s computer is broken and it won’t be back until the end of next week. But it’s now the end of semester, all her papers are due next week. The man gives her two possible solutions. The first solution is to go to computer club where there are lots of machines. But the woman thinks it’s so crowded and noisy that she can’t concentrate. The second solution is to call the repairshop to ask if they can fix the computer quickly and give it back to her at the beginning of next week. Then the woman will have enough time to finish her paper. But the repair shop is closed today and tomorrow. It’ll be a few days before the woman can talk to them. I would recommend her to choose the first solution. Since time is limited and it’s not sure whether her computer can be fixed in time, using the computer center is the only choice. Even though the computer center is crowded and noisy, it’s always possible to concentrate on work.题目6. Using points and examples from the lecture, explain the two major factors of product quality and how their role in consumer decision making has changed.答案When a purchaser is considering two identically priced products, they make decisions according to the quality. There are two major factors of product quality: reliability and features.A product is reliable when it works the way we expect. For example, if a car doesn’t work the way it should and it needs repair all the time, it is not reliable. So reliability means the absence of defects and problems. However, our concern with reliability is different now, manufacture standards are so high that productsare all very reliable. So reliability is not a deciding factor anymore. Instead, features are becoming more important in making decisions. Features are extras and things aren’t necessary. Features make a product cool and easier to use. For example, in a car, features are electric windows, air conditioning and stereos. Since reliability of different products are almost equal, people care more about the features.。

tpo口语参考答案1. A friend of yours wants to go to university next year but cannot decide on a major field of study. What advice would you give your friend to help make this decision?My advice would be to follow your interests. There is a famous saying that you are good at what you like and you like what you are good at. If my friend had an interest, I would suggest he stick to it, even if it is not a practical field and it’s not gonna help find any jobs. But, with interests, one tries hard and makes the best of oneself effortlessly. For example, if a person is interested in history, this person won’t feel bored reading ponderous books. He or she may enjoy reading hard-to-understand materials or books of ancient while others may feel it is tiring and boring.2. Do you think that eating healthy food is easier or more difficult today than it was 40 or 50 years ago? Use examples and details to support your answer.Yeah, I think so. I think the first reason is that our pace of life has increased a lot. Most people in the city don’t have enough time cooking. They either eat in the restaurant or eat fast food. And most of the food there are prepared hastily or they are plain junk food. More importantly, unlike 40 or 50 years ago, the fruits and vegetables are mostly grown in greenhouses with heavy use of chemicals. Animals are raised in factories with extremely bad environments. So the food sources are unhealthy. Even if we cookcarefully, it’s still harder to eat healthy food.3. The man expresses his opinion about the proposal described in the letter. Briefly summarize the proposal. Then state his opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The writer of the letter gives two suggestions. The first suggestion is to shorten the bicycle borrowing period so that more bikes will be available. The second suggestion is to leave student cards instead of cash when students borrow bicycles. But the man in the conversation does agree with the two suggestions. First of all, he thinks that students borrowing bicycles usually need longer periods. For example, his friend and he borrow bicycles every weekend to go off-campus. They often go to the state park and it usually takes a whole day. Secondly, he thinks that if students leave their cards when borrowing bicycles, they won’t be able to get into library or dining halls. This will create inconvenience.4. Explain the concept of carrying capacity using the example of the moth and Ragwort.The greatest number of animals a habitat can support is called carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is not fixed. It changes according to the environment. The professor uses the relationship of moth and ragwort to illustrate this concept. Moth is a kind of insect that eats ragwort. Ragwort is a plant that grows in the field. Normally, the number of moth in the ragwort field is stable. But if there were a lot less rain in a year, ragwort wo uldn’t grow well. Moth wouldn’t survive and even those that survived lay fewer eggs. So the number of moth would decrease. But if the rain went back to a normal level, the ragwort would grow well. Moth would have enough to eat and would lay more eggs. Andthe number of moth would also increase.5. Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversations you would recommend. Explain the reason for your recommendation.The man has promised the girl to take her place to work tonight. But he didn’t know that he was going to have a music rehearsal at the same time. But the girl has already made her plan this evening. So this is the problem. There are two solutions. The man, Bob, quits the music rehearsal and goes to work as he promised. Or, the girl cancels her plan with her friends. I would recommend the man to work as he promised, because it’s he who created the problem. If he hadn’t promised the girl to take her place, she probably wouldn’t have mad e her plan tonight. Even if there are new songs he hasn't practiced and tonight is the last practice, he has to take full responsibility of the mess, which is made by him.6. Using the professor’s example of the pizza restaurant, explain two advantages of franchising.The professor talks about two advantages of franchising. The first advantage is that the established company will provide training for you and all your employees. For example, if you open a pizza restaurant by franchising, the company will teach you how to prepare the pizza, how to take orders and basically teach you how to operate the restaurant like other restaurants of the company. You just follow its plan to success. The second advantage is its established customer base. Because it is an established company, its products are already well known. People will trust it even if it’s in a new location. For example, the pizza restaurant you open has the same name as the others’. People already know the name and they’ll go to your restaurantbecause they trust the name and think they will definitely have good experience.。
托福TPO1-54独立口语答案示例
TPO全54套+ 4套extra practice独立口语答案示例TPO 11.Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason. Explain whythe book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.I would like to talk about the book called the Five People You Meet in Heaven. The book mainly talks about a story of a dead guy. After he went to heaven, he met five people, who he thought was perfect strangers and didn’t have any relationship with each other. However, it turned out that the events that had happened on these people were all connected in some way, which finally led to his death. The story is quite thought-provoking, at least for me. I believe that the little things that happen in our daily life are not isolated, but connected in some subtle manner. Now I am never easily frustrated by setbacks in my life since I know that the so-called “bad things” may eventually lead to a great ending.2.Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Othersbelieve that it has had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why?Use details and examples to explain your opinion.Generally speaking, I believe that the benefits brought about by TV far outweigh the negative consequences. It has permeated into our daily life for such a long time that watching TV together has become a way to strengthen the bond within the family. Every night after meal, the family members would sit in front of the TV, watching shows while chatting about the things that happen during the day. It doesn’t matter which programs are on, as long as everyone is present. Besides, TV provides a relief zone for most of us. Sometimes my parents feel stressed out after a whole day’s work, and I also have to deal with endless assignments. Watching TV lets us relax and unwind.TPO 21.Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important.Please use specific details in your explanation.In spare time, I often go to a book store called Librairie Avant-Garde. It is probably one of the most popular stores in my hometown, especially since the New York Times listed it as the most beautiful book store in Nanjing. I like there because it is my relief zone. The atmosphere is quite refreshing. I enjoy reading under the golden dim light with the rich aroma of coffee around and soft melody in the air. Even simply sitting there enables me to get away from all the troubles. Besides, I’ve met many amazing people there, who have similar interests with me. Sometimes we discuss about the books. We are particularly fond of books about traveling and even plan to have a self-organized trip together. Isn’t it wonderful?2.Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to geta broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have adeeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?I prefer to take a variety of courses in different areas. I’m curious about everything which is strange to me and more than willing to take courses about them. I don’t need much professional information, just some introduction to various areas so that I would know which fields deserve my further attention. I’ve taken a broad range of courses in school, such as literature, history, psychology, to name a few. I’m surprised to realize that I’m quite talented in many of them and have decided to deepen my understanding in relevant fields. Besides, I don’t like focusing on one single subject. Even though I may become an expert in that area, I would be rather poor in others and that lets me feel insecure.TPO 31.What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Explain why thesecharacteristics are important to you.First of all, a good parent needs to respect me, like, never compare me with others since this would hurt my feelings. I’ve watched some parents doing this in front of me, and the poor kids seemed rather embarrassed. What’s more, I hope they would stand in my shoes, especially when I don’t do a good job. We have lots of exams at school and sometimes I fail them. I’m quite lucky in that my parents are not those people who just focus on the results and scold kids for poor scores. Rather, they care more about the efforts I’ve paid and how much progress I’ve made. And during those hard times, we would discuss my situation together, trying to figure out the problems I face. That’s what wonderful parents are like.2.Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it isbetter to work in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I prefer to join a study group when working on assignments. I have to admit that I’m not self-motivated. When left alone, I often find myself distracted by snacks, music or computer games.I mean, it’s as if those things were calling out to me. In contrast, in a study group, I’d focus on the assignments since when everyone else is studying, I cannot be the only one goofing around. Besides, the whole group can do some brain-storming, which boosts efficiency. You know, we put our heads together, and each one contributes some inspiring thoughts. Of course, I could finish the tasks on my own; but I may see only part of the picture. Working in a group allows us to get a more comprehensive idea.TPO41.What do you miss most about your home when you are away? Use specific details inyour explanation.I miss my ukulele most when I’m away from home.It’s a gift I bought for myself. Actually, I’ve always wanted to learn Guitar, but since it’s too big for me, I had to drop the idea. And the whole thing came to a dead–end until I saw a ukulele. It’s small and only has four strings, which makes it relatively easier to learn. I’ve played it every day since I got it home and after a year all so, I could play it without thinking. Once I traveled abroad for half a month, during which I had to endure the separation with it. It was like part of my life was missing. Although I had a great time there, I was pretty sure it would have been even better if I had had my ukulele at hand. I’d like to bring it wherever I go in the future.2.Many universities now offer academic courses over the Internet. However, some peoplestill prefer learning in traditional classrooms. Which do you think is better? Explain why. I’m all for traditional classrooms. It is true that on-line courses have made it convenient for us to take various courses offered at home and abroad, but they cannot provide the learning atmosphere. When studying in the classroom, I have my classmates and professor around. If I have any questions, I simply raise my hand and speak them out. Then we would discuss about it. All these activities, which are absent from on-line courses, help to deepen our understanding. Besides, I don’t think the on-line communication can replace face-to-face conversation. When talking in person, we use body language to better illustrate our points, which also offers the feeling of personal connection. And I think the learning process would be more efficient if it takes place in such a manner.TPO51.Talk about a place you enjoyed going to or visiting when you were a child. Describe theplace. Explain why you enjoyed it.When I was a kid, I liked going to the shopping center in the downtown with my parents. At that t ime, I didn’t know anything about picking up clothes or haggling with the sales person and a ll I did was following my parents’ steps and singing or mumbling about something. Yet the sales person seemed to like me a lot. They usually smiled at me or even went out from their store to give me candies. I always went back home with several candies in the hand. I guess you can see why I liked that place. Moreover, the shopping center had one whole floor devoted to toys. There are toy cars, transformers, dolls, you name it. And there was a little food-stand in the corner where I could get spun sugar. The center was my paradise back then.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is more important to study math or science than it is to study art or literature. Well, I don’t think learning math or science is more important than learning art or literature. Art and literature are important, both for our society and the individuals. For example, the Palace museum, which houses countless art works, attracts thousands of tourists every day, which helps to boost the economy. And people usually get refreshed after appreciating art works. Besides, I don’t think it’s reasonable to compare the importance of courses in this way. What I mean is, courses such as science and art are all critical to students. Everyone has his own gift and we need to put our talents into full play, no matter in which field. Even if we are not art material, it doesn’t mean that we should not learn it since the courses can introduce us to another world and it’s always good to expand our vision.TPO61.Talk about a photograph or painting you have seen that was memorable. Explain whatyou liked or disliked about it.The painting that impresses me the most is Mona Lisa. And I’m not talking about how amazing her smile is. I saw it first in the textbook of my primary school. To tell you the truth, the smile scared me. I didn’t know why but as a kid, I tried to avoid eye contact with the woman in the painting. Now several years have passed yet I still feel strange whenever I see it. However, I do not want to deny the wonderfulness of that painting. For me, the most interesting thing is the controversy it has raised. People keep wondering about the background of the woman, some say she iss a merchant’s wife, others believe that she is actually Da Vinci himself. Recently, rumor has it that she is a slave from China. I’m often a ttracted to this kind of mysteries.2.Some people have one career throughout their lives. Other people do different kinds ofwork at different points in their lives. Which do you think is better? Explain why.I prefer to commit to one career all my life. I believe that anything worth doing worth doing well. And once I start my career, I want to reach the top, which may take decades but it’s worth it. Yet if I try different kinds of work, I may only scratch the surface. My older sister works in the Public Relation field. At first, she thought that the work was quite exciting since she got to meet many celebrities; then she realized that it was also challenging as she had to stay up late trying to come up with some novel ideas and prepare for presentations. In fact, her understanding of the PR field deepens as time goes by and till today, after more than ten years working there, she still believes that there are lots of things she could learn. I enjoy this feeling. It’s like peeling the onion and trying to see the core. It’s exciting.TPO71.If friends from another country were going to spend time in your country, what city orplace would you suggest they visit?I would recommend my hometown, Nanjing, which is the capital of thirteen dynasties in history. It offers a rich historical atmosphere. Tourists usually visit such places as the Confucius Temple or the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Of course, these time-honored places are wonderful, yet I prefer the city walls from the Ming Dynasty, which is over 600 years old and tells much about the history over the years. Besides, the local delicacy is ama zing. I’m not a hardcore foodie but still cannot resist the mouth-watering snacks such as noodle salad, the rice pudding with eight treasures, and the famous duck soup, which is considered a must-try for any tourists from home and abroad. In my mind, Nanjing is a place that embraces various elements in a harmonious manner. It has something for everybody. I’m sure people would have a great time here.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Learning through online courses is more effective than learning in the traditional classroom setting.I don’t think online courses are more effective than traditional ones. It is true that on-line courses have made it convenient for us to take various courses at home and abroad, but they cannot provide a proper learning atmosphere. When studying in classrooms, I have my classmates and professor around. If I have any questions, I’d simply raise my hand and speak them out, then my classmates and professors would discuss about it or have a little debate. All these activities, which are absent from on-line courses, help deepen our understanding. Besides, I don’t think the on-line communication can replace face-to-face conversation. When talking in person, we could see each other’s facial expression, hear their voice. It’s just more natural. Of course I can chat with others on line, b ut the feeling is different and I don’t like taking courses in this way.TPO81.Describe about a time a friend or a family member helped you in the past. Describe howthe person helped you then explain why this was important to you.During my first two years in the university, I got into depression because of some family issues. Those were really hard times since I lost interest in almost everything and felt down in the dumps day and night. Fortunately, I still had the willingness to pull myself together. Since I couldn’t fight this battle on my own, I turned to a friend for help. She called me every day, chatting with me. When I locked myself at home, she would come to my place and dragged me out for she believed that outdoor activities would do good to me. Gradually, I came out of the isolation and we somehow developed an interest in playing ukulele. It was not that difficult but still need our focus; also, puzzles worked well for me since it would fully occupied my attention. After nearly half a year, I cracked the depression and were once again able to enjoy things happening around me. Looking back, I feel deeply grateful to that girl. Had it not been for her company, I would not have bounced back.2.Some people enjoy taking risk and trying new things, others are not adventurous, theyare cautious and try to avoid danger. Which behavior do you think is better? Explain why.I prefer to take risks since it would introduce me to some new things, which may turn out to be pretty interesting. On the contrary, if I always choose the conservative way, I may miss out on many amazing experience. Once when hiking in a mountain, I came to a cross road. Normally I would take the left path but on that day, I was caught by a whim and picked the right one, which was totally strange to me. On the way, I met a bunch of people. We hit it off immediately and ended up having a BBQ on the mountain top. That was wonderful. Besides, taking risks makes me feel excited, like an adventurous explorer, and even if I fail in the end, I won’t feel regretful or frustrated since it’s my first time and rookie mistakes are inevitable.TPO91.Talk about an important experience that you recently had. Describe what happened andexplain why it was important to you.Last Saturday, I happened to read an article on the Internet, summoning the public to donate clothes to kids living in the mountain area. It was quite a coincidence since the other day when I was sorting my stuff at home, I found out lots of outgrown clothes, which were still in good condition. The article has given me an inspiration. First, I re-posted the article. Then, I assembled several friends to do a presentation in our class, during which we asked our classmates to not only give out their clean clothes and stationary but also engage the efforts of people around them. In this way, we have called on collective efforts to help those poor kids. That experience means a lot to me for it’s the first time that I organized an activity to do something for others. I feel proud of myself.2.Some people think that family members are the most important influence on youngadults; others believe that friends are the most important influence. Which do you agree with? Explain why.From my perspective, family members have more influence on young adults than friends do. Since we spend most of our time together, families have a subtle effect on us, which would shape our behavior and personality in an unconscious way. I picked up my father’s way of walk when I was a kid and have remained that style till today; and people always say that the way I talk reminds them of my Mum, despite the fact that I’ve never tried to imitate her. What’s more, although I’ve heard about peer pressure, I still believe that we want to live up to the expectations of our parents rather than our friends’. As I grew up, I’ve changed several schools and as a result, friends come and go, but parents have been there all the time. I do not want to let them down. I guess their hopes for me have been the driving force that encourages me to move forward and makes me the person I am today.TPO101.Talk about a time when you accomplished something you did not think you could do.What did you accomplish? Why did you think you could not do it?Last month, my parents went to Spain for a business trip. So I had to take care of myself during the next week. At first, I didn’t think that was a big deal until it occurred to me that I had to cook for seven days. Before that, I hadn’t even boiled an egg, let alone preparing a meal. Well, they said I could order some take-out or call my Aunt to come, but I didn’t want a baby-sitter, so I decided to push myself. Every morning, I went to the market nearby to get the materials I need. Then after school, I spent some time in the kitchen. The first time I spent almost an hour there, only to turn it into a total mess. So I ended up eating instant noodle that day. But I got interested in the stuff and gradually, everything got on the right track. When my parents went back home a week later, they were surprised to see me pigging out on the food I cooked. Now I believe that if we challenge ourselves, we may realize that the so-called “limitation” is just another thing to crack.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Use details and examples toexplain your answer.All children should be required to learn a second language in school.Generally speaking, I think it necessary to ask all children to learn a second language in school. As cultural and economic exchanges among different countries become more frequent, mastering a second language has gone from being an advantage to a must. In the past, job requirements usually did not mention the ability to speak a foreign language; but today, it has become a threshold of most companies; and we can imagine that in the near future, knowing another language besides mother tongue would be a normal thing. What’s more, the relevant courses offered in school are well-organized, which include classes, assignments, and tests; and children may not be willing to learn a second language unless the schools require them to do so. A t first, kids may not like it, but it’s good for them in the long run.TPO111.Talk about an interesting book you have read. Explain why you thought the book wasinteresting.I’d like to talk about the Book Thief. Actually, I saw the movie first, which attracted me immediately. Then I bought the book and couldn’t stop reading it after finishing the first page. The character I love the most is Hans, who is Liesel’s adopted father. In the story, he has been nothing but loving and caring. It is him who has taught Liesel how to read, and it is him who has stayed by Liesel’s bed when she was too scared to sleep. When he was enlisted by the army and sent to the war, I was deeply worried; and when he finally went back home, I cried my eyes out. I guess he reminds me of my late grandpa. Apart from Hans, the Book Thief has other interesting characters, such as a kid called Rudy, who has a crush on Liesel and has always been there for her. I can’t say whether the story is a tragedy or not, since many of them died in the end, but the girl has lived a happy life after that. It’s a story worth reading over and over again.2.Some people think that children should be allowed to watch whatever televisionprograms they choose to. Others think that parents should exercise control over the television programs their children watch. Which do you agree with? Explain why.I think parents should have some control over the TV programs watched by their children. Despite the government’s censorship system, there are still some programs which may have a negative influence on kids. For example, several months ago, a primary school kid tied his friend to a branch on the tree and tried to roast him. When I first read it, I thought it was a bad joke made by the newspaper, yet it turned out that it was true and the kid was trying to imitate a scene in a cartoon! That’s ridiculous! If parents had got involved in choosing the TV programs, this kind of tragedy wouldn’t have happened.Besides, parents have the responsibility to screen the shows for their children, so that kids won’t watch some violent or provocative programs. They may pick something which is both entertaining and instructive, like the Sesame Street, or the Myth Busters; kids would have a good time watching them.TPO121.What is the most efficient type of transportation in your country? Explain why you thinkit is efficient. Include specific reasons or examples.I think subway offers the most efficient way to get around in my country. Thanks to the social development, today, the subway network covers the whole city and even reaches to the suburbs, which has made it really convenient for us to get around. Two years ago, it took me nearly an hour to go to school by bike; yet these days, my school is only twenty-minute away. That’s great. Moreover, unlike bus or taxi, which may get stuck on the road, subway never has to worry about traffic congestion. It usually takes two minutes to get from one stop to the next. As a result, many people choose to go to work in this way, especially during the rush hours.2.Some people believe it’s essential for a person’s education to learn to play a musicalinstrument. Others don’t believe music e ducation is important. Which view do you agree with? Explain why.I think music education, such as learning to play a musical instrument, is beneficial for us. It helps to shape our personality. At least I myself became more patient and persistent while learning to play the piano. When I started learning it, I was quite excited. Yet the first several months turned out to be rather frustrating. Instead of playing out beautiful melodies, I had to spend nearly 4 hours a day practicing basic skills. I had thought about giving up several times, yet the dream of performing in my own concert has driven me to continue. Gradually, I’ve become more persistent and patient. Later in my study, whenever I got stuck in some problems, I could keep concentrating on them till I figure them out. That’s what learning to play the piano has taught me, and it’s a quality that has helped me a lot in other matters.TPO131.Talk about a game, sport, or other group activity that is played in your country. Explainwhy you think the activity is enjoyable.People in my country enjoy go hiking in the mountains. This shows the growing importance people have put on daily exercise. Nowadays, lots of young people have to work under heavy pressure; as a result, they only have time to grab a bite during lunch or dinner and often feel stressed out at the end of the day. Fortunately, more and more people have realized the importance of good health and are willing to squeeze some time out of their tight schedule for exercise. Besides, hiking in the mountain can be a way to socialize. When relaxed, people tend to be much nicer; also, since they have a similar hobby, it’s much easier for them to find something to talk about. Once on the road I met a bunch of travelers. We hit it off immediately and ended up having a BBQ on the top. That’s wonderful.2.When looking for information for a research project, some students prefer to get theirinformation mainly from the Internet. Others prefer to mainly use printed materials such as books and academic journals. Which do you prefer and why?I prefer to search for information from the Internet. There is a sea of information there. When working on research project, I need to get as much information as possible so that I could see the whole picture. Internet has everything, which we have easy access to. All I need to do is to type the key words in the search engine and single out the things needed. If I turn to the printed materials, it may take me ages to get what I want. Furthermore, the information on the Internet is in various forms, not only texts, but also videos. I watch the public courses regularly, some of which have offered me much inspiration; the TED is also terrific; although I may get the printed version of some lectures, they are not as up-to-date as those in the video version.TPO141.People enjoy reading many different types of books such as mystery, biography,romance, etc. Of all the different types of books that there are, what type do you most enjoy? Explain why.I like biography the most. In fact, I’m not a big fan of mystery or romance since most of the plot is fabricated. I’d rather trust my imagination and make up stories on my own. In contrast, biography offers facts about people and events, which enriches my knowledge in various fields. Recently, I’ve read the stor ies of Winston Churchill and Coco Chanel. They are not only inspiring, but also have introduced me to the whole new world of fashion and politics. Besides, through reading several biographies of the same person, I would get different perspectives. For example, many people have written books about Caocao, a politician and poet living nearly two thousand years ago. Some say that he is brave and wise, while others believe that he is cruel and treacherous. I think there is truth on both sides. I enjoy taking in various opinions about the same thing and t hat’s why biography appeals to me.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?One of the best ways to learn is by making mistakes.I agree that one can learn a lot through the mistakes he/she makes. Through trails and failures, we may know our strengths and weaknesses. Once I heard a speech, which has inspired me a lot. The speaker have pushed himself to go for various goals in the past, though he failed in many of them, he did not feel regretful since at least they taught him what he was not suitable for. I think that’s quite smart. Besides, some people may say that making mistakes hurt their confidence, which hinders their further development. Well, that’s not the case with me. As Stev e Jobs once said, “Failure is an option, but fear is not.” I enjoy challenging myself. Making mistakes won’t let me doubt myself; rather, it leaves a deep impression on me, which has far more influence on me than the suggestions given by others.TPO151.People make friends in many different ways. What do you think is a good way to makenew friends? Use specific details and examples in your response.A think one of the effective ways to make new friends is through doing some leisure time activities together, such as playing cards. When feeling relaxed, people tend to be nicer and are more willing to open themselves to others. In fact, I’ve made many friends on this kind of occasion. The atmosphere is great. We chat with each other about everything and gradually, friendship develops. Moreover, I believe we could learn about people’s personality by playing cards with them. For example, my father often bluffs about how great his cards are, yet my sister thinks it’s chea ting. What about my brother? Well, sometimes he is a sore loser, so we make sure that he wins once in a while. I guess you can tell a lot about a person by doing some leisure activities with them. And that’s a great way to make new friends.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is important to remember and learn from the past.Use details and examples to explain your opinion.Surely I believe that remembering and learning from the past is of great importance. Since history tends to repeat itself, it not only bridges the past with the present, but also guides our course into the future. By learning from the past, we may avoid some mistakes or reach our goals in more efficient ways. For example, nowadays, many people are learning the Art of Wars, a book written by a famous military leader in ancient China. In this book, he shared thirty six brilliant tactics and strategies used in the battle. Today, people around the world try to apply those strategies to business and political fields. Indeed, many successful companies have used some strategies in their negotiation and marketing process, which enables them to have an edge over their competitors. With more and more people realizing the importance of history, I’m sure we would benefit more from it.。

1. Students often like to study with others in a group. What do you think are the benefits of group study? Explain your reasons.There are several benefits. First of all, in a group, if you have any problems, you can always find group members to help. Since everyone has different strong subject, if you have trouble with math, you can find a member to help you, if you have difficulty with physics, you can also find another member to help you. Secondly, studying in a group offers chances for discussion. People view things differently. In discussions, you can learn different perspectives. And this can help broaden your horizon.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should receive money for doing household tasks such as cleaning. Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.I agree with this statement. If children do household tasks, they can receive money. With the incentive, they will probably do the tasks more actively. This can help children develop some basic living skills. They’ll learn how to do the laundry, how to wash dishes, how to clean up the room or even how to cook. More importantly, this can help children understand a lesson: no pains, no gains. Parents can stop giving childrenallowance unconditionally. Rather children should earn their allowances through their own labor. Children may even develop a sense of economy.3. The man expresses his opinion about the proposal described in the letter. Briefly summarize the proposal then state his opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The writer of the letter proposes that the university should run a free bus service between the campus and the airport during break times, because there is currently no public transportation in the line. Also, the university can use the regular buses on campus to do this service. The man in the conversation thinks this is a great idea. Firstly, he says that right now, it’s very expensive to get to the airport, since students always have to take taxi if they don’t have friends to give them a ride. It usually costs about 30 or 40 dollars. This is a big money for students. Also, he says that at the break times, there are fewer students on campus. So not many students need the bus service on campus. They don’t go to library as often.4. Explain how the example from the professor’s lecture illustrates the choice-supportive bias.Choice-supportive bias is a phenomenon that after making a choice, people tend to remember the advantages only and forget the disadvantages of the choice. The professor uses his own life experience to illustrate this. Years ago, his friend and he went to see a house. The house had a perfect location. It was near his friend’s working place. But it was a little small. His friend wanted a bigger house. Still his friend bought the house. After a few years, when the professor and his friend talked about the decision of buying this house, his friend said it was very comfortable living in this house, coz it’s close to the working place. But his friend kind of forgot that house was small and thought the house was big enough.5. Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.The woman is stressed out because she has to finish 3 research papers before the end of the semester and she also has to work in an office. Her problem is that there is not enough time. There are two possible solutions. The first is that she can reduce the working hours in the office. The second is that she can get an extension on history paper. But few pointswill be taken. If I were the girl, I would choose the second solution. Working in an office is not just a part-time job; it may also become an opportunity after graduation. Since the history professor has already granted extension, she can take it. I think losing a few points is nothing compared to a future career.6. Using the examples of starthistle and Kit fox, describe two ways roads can affect the environment.The professor talks about two ways roads harmfully affect the environment. The first way is by transporting plants to new areas. The transported plants will compete with native plants for natural resources. For example, there is a kind of weed, starthistle that gets transported by tires. In the new environment, it competes with native plants for water. This makes it harder for native plants to survive. The second way is by dividing the animal habits into smaller areas. Animals in smaller areas won’t have enough food to support themselves. For example, Kit fox eats mice and squirrels. These small animals spread over large tracts of land. Now the fox’s habitat has been divided by high ways. It’s very hard for the fox to find enough food. So the number of the fox decreases.。

1. Talk about an interesting book you have read. Explain why you thought the book was interesting. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.Recently, I read an interesting novel named “Keep the aspidistra flying” which is written by George Orwell. I think it’s very interesting because in the story the main character’s experience is similar to mine. The main character wants to be a poet while I want to be a writer. He abandoned his well-paying job for his dream and I also quit my job for my dream. He had a time when he was impoverished and I also experienced a time when I couldn’t afford a lunch. He lives in a society where money talks and I live in a society where money is everything. So these similar experiences make me think the book interesting.2.Some people think that children should be allowed to watch whatever television programs they choose to. Others think that parents should exercise control over the television programs their children watch. Which do you agree with? Explain why.I think parents should exercise control over the televisionprograms their children watch. It’s a way of protection, since many shows are full of violent or horrifying scenes. But children are not mature enough to bear those scenes so they may feel terrified. Take myself as an example, When I was 7-year-old, I was watching TV alone at home. I accidentally ran into a horror movie and was frightened by the horrible zombies in the movie. They eat human beings and tear bodies into pieces. I was shocked by the bloody scenes. From then on, I started to be afraid of darkness. Every time I walked along the street in the evening, I would feel a zombie following me. I didn’t get rid of the bad influence from that movie until high school.3. The woman expresses her opinion about the university' s plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.The college is planning to renovate the dormitories in order to attract more students to remain on campus. The woman thinks the plan is a mistake. The woman says that the constructions will create too much noise and will constantly disturb students who are now living on campus. So it’s possible that more studentswill choose to live off-campus. She also says that the new campus housing is going to cost more because the college plans to use the students’ housing fees to pay for the renovations. So students won’t be able to afford to live on campus. They may still choose to rent an apartment off-campus. So the college may not achieve its goal to attract more students to remain on campus.4. Explain why Henry Darger is considered an Outsider Artist.According to the reading passage, outsider artists work in isolation and don’t get formal artistic training and they also invent their own ways of doing things. Therefore, their work may look strange and can be very different from other artists’. According to the professor, Henry Darger lived by himself, had no friends and thus worked in isolation. Also，He never received any formal training and his work is very unique. Darger had a hard time painting figures but he managed to come up with his own method. He cut out pictures of children from newspapers and pasted them on the painting. So his painting looks a little strange. It’s more cluttered and more crowded with details than other artists’ paintings. Also because the entirespace is painted, Darger’s painting is a lot longer than other artists’5. The students discuss a problem and two possible solutions. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.The man has got a summer research position on campus but he didn’t apply for a dorm room for the summer. And it’s too late to apply now. In the conversation, they talk about two possible solutions. The first one is that the man can stay with his parents and commute to campus everyday. His parents will be happy to have him home and many old friends will come back home for the summer vacation. But it’s a little tiring to drive on the road. The second solution is to rent an apartment near campus. It saves time and gas fee. But still the man has to pay for the rent. Well, I would recommend the man to choose the first solution. Since his parents are happy to live with him and he can meet many old friends, why not stay with his parents. Even if it’s tiring to drive, he can save the money for the rent.6. Using the points and examples from the lecture, explain what unity and contrast are, and how they make interior design more effective.In the lecture, the professor says an effective design needs to balance unity and contrast. An easy way to achieve unity is to bring together similar elements. A common practice is by matching colors. For example, we can pick green and use light shade green for the walls ,dark shade green for the sofa, and green for the rug. When elements match, the room is unified and gives senses of order and comfort. But too much unity will make a room boring. So we need contrast to break the unity. Contrast serves to disrupt unity in a careful and intentional way. In order to create color contrast, we need to change colors now and then. For example, we could put light red cushion on the dark green sofa. Contrast makes things stand out. Green will look greener next to the red. But too much contrast will make a room feel dizzy and chaotic. So an effective design must avoid too much unity and too much contrast.。

下面将以几个常见的题目为例，给出一些参考答案供考生参考。
题目一：Describe a place you have visited that has been affected by pollution. 参考答案：I would like to talk about a place I visited last summer, which is my hometown. Unfortunately, over the years, my hometown has been severely affected by pollution, especially air and water pollution. The air is filled with smog, making it difficult to breathe, and the rivers are contaminated with industrial waste, killing off the aquatic life.The main cause of pollution in my hometown is the rapid industrialization and urbanization that has taken place in recent years. Factories have been built without proper environmental regulations, releasing harmful pollutants into the air and water. Additionally, the increase in motor vehicles has contributed to the air pollution, as exhaust fumes fill the streets.The pollution in my hometown has had a significant impact on the health of the residents. Many people suffer from respiratory problems, such as asthma andbronchitis, due to the poor air quality. The contaminated water has also led to an increase in waterborne diseases.To tackle this issue, the government needs to take immediate action. Stricter regulations should be implemented to control industrial pollution, and more efforts should be made to promote renewable energy sources. Furthermore, public transportation should be improved to reduce the number of private vehicles on the road.In conclusion, pollution has had a detrimental effect on my hometown. It is crucial for the government and the community to work together to address this issue and create a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.题目二：Talk about a memorable event from your childhood.参考答案：One of the most memorable events from my childhood was my first trip to Disneyland. I was about seven years old at the time, and it was a dream come true for me. The moment I stepped into the park, I was overwhelmed with excitement and wonder.I vividly remember the colorful characters walking around, the thrilling rides, and the delicious food. It felt like I had entered a magical world where anything was possible. I spent the entire day exploring the different attractions and going on as many rides as I could.One particular ride that stood out to me was the roller coaster. I was initially scared to go on it, but my older brother convinced me to give it a try. As theroller coaster went up and down, I screamed with a mix of fear and exhilaration. It was an adrenaline rush like no other, and I couldn't stop laughing afterwards. Another highlight of the trip was meeting my favorite Disney princess, Cinderella.I waited in line for what felt like hours just to get a picture with her. When it was finally my turn, I was starstruck. Cinderella was so kind and beautiful, and I felt like I was meeting a real-life princess.Overall, my first trip to Disneyland was an unforgettable experience. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and magic. Even now, as an adult, I still cherish the memories from that day and hope to visit Disneyland again in the future.通过以上两个例子，我们可以看到在TPO口语考试中，要求考生描述一个地方或者一个事件，并且给出个人观点或者建议。

题目1. Talk about a time when a friend or family member helped you in the past. Describe how the person helped you. Then explain why this was important to you.答案When I was in the third summer vacation in the college, I found a job in downtown. I lived on campus at that time but the campus is very far away from downtown so I got to find a place to live nearby. There was one friend who studied in another college located near downtown. He called me to live with him in his dorm since all his roommates were gone. He introduced me to his campus and told me where to eat, where to buy necessities and where to work out. I didn’t have to pay anything for this housing service. Also, living in his dorm saved me a lot of time. I shorten the travel time from 2 hours to 20 minutes.题目2. Some people enjoy taking risks and trying new things Others are not adventurous: they are cautious and prefer to avoid danger. Which behavior do you think is better? Explain why.答案I prefer to take risks and try new things. I think taking risks is a way to improve oneself, a way to broaden one’s horizon. For example, if Columbia hadn’t taken risks, he wouldn’t have found the New World. If he hadn’t found the New World, his horizon wouldn’t have been broaden so wouldn’t other people’s horizonat that time. Also, trying new things is one of the best ways to learn. Take myself as an example, I didn’t like reading novels until my junior year in the college so novel was a kind of new thing to me at that time. But I tried to read some novels in my junior year, and gradually I became interested in reading novels. Later on, I even started to write my own novels. If I hadn’t tried to read novels, I wouldn’t have known how to write my own novels. 题目3. The man expresses his opinion of the university‘s plan. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.答案The university’s planning to broadcast classical music during mealtimes in cafeterias in order that students can relax and communicate more with each other. The man in the conversation thinks it’s a bad plan. First of all, he says that most of the students aren’t looking for relaxing in lunch time. They’d rather study there especially when they have exams coming up or when they have many assignments undone. The music will be distracting so the student’s won’t be able to concentrate. Secondly, most students don’t like classical music. If the cafeterias play classical music, students will be more likely to put on their personal music devices to block out the classical stuff.题目 4. Using the examples of the peanut bug and the morpho butterfly, explain the concept of revealing coloration.答案Revealing coloration is a defensive strategy used by animals to protect themselves from predators. The professor uses two examples to explain this concept. The first example is peanut bug. The peanut bug’s back wings are usually closed and have bright colorful spots on them. When peanut is attacked, it suddenly opens its back wings to show its bright colors that surprise its predators. So it reveals the usually hidden bright color in back wings to startle its predators. Then the peanut bug can escape. The second example is morphobutterfly. Parts of Morpho Butterfly’s wings are very shiny. When the butterfly is resting, the wings are hidden. When the butterfly is attacked by birds, it flaps the wings to reflect flashes of light that can make it hard for birds to catch the butterfly. In other words, it reveals the bright color of its wings to confuse its predators. So the Morpho Butterfly can get away.题目5. Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.答案The man has to take two courses to fulfill the requirement but these two courses are scheduled at the same time. In the conversation, they talked about two possible solutions. The first solution is to do independent study in the Shakespeare course. He read texts, finish assignments on his own and have discussions with the professor. But he’s afraid that he won’t be motivated. The second solution is to take the Shakespeare course in another university. But it takes him one hour to drive back and forth the universities. I would recommend he to take the Shakespeare course in the other university. Since he won’t be motivated if he studies independently，this is a good way to motivate him. Although this will cost him some time and money, he will finish the course. 题目6. Using the points and examples from the lecture, explain the two pricing strategies described by the professor.答案 The professor talks about two approaches to make initial price of products. One approach is to set the initial price high followed by a lower price later, because companies want to build a high quality image for new products and products with high price are believed to have high quality. Companies can make profits from customers who are willing to pay high price to experience high quality products, especially those innovative high-tech productssuch as video recorders, video cameras and even cell-phones. Another approach is to set the initial price low to undercut competitors. For example, if a new computer company wants to gain market share, it sells computer in an affordable price. So the company can appeal to customers who wouldn’t be interested to buy computers and those who want to change brand. The company can make profits through selling accessories to its customers。

1. Talk about a special opportunity that was given to you. Explain why the opportunity was important.I was given an opportunity to study in the US one summer. This opportunity is very important to me for several reasons. Firstly, it was the first time I went abroad. I had imagined going abroad ever since I was a little kid. I never got a chance until that day I received a call from an administrator in my college telling me that I was granted the opportunity to study abroad for the summer vacation. Secondly, I learned and experienced a lot from this opportunity. In this exchange program, I was assigned a partner who was also a college student in the US. He introduced me to his family, took me out to valley faire and instructed me how to use Linux in the computer lab.2. State whether you agree or disagree with the following statement. Then explain your reasons, using specific details in your explanation.Students should not be allowed to bring cell phones (mobile phones) into the classroom.I totally don’t agree with this statement that students shouldn’t be allowed to bring cell phones into the classroom. One important purpose of cell-phone is that we can reach anyone at any time anywhere. If students’ parents need to inform them of some important things and students don’t have mobile phones with them, parents will have to come to the classroom or call others to reach the kids. This sounds pretty inconvenient in a modern age. On the other hand, simply bringing cell-phones into classroom won’t disturb other students or interrupt the class. Students just need to turn their sound off and make the signal to vibration. And if they receive some urgent phone-calls, they can go out to reply.3. The man expresses his opinion about the upcoming change. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The library is going to change big, multiperson study tables into personal study cubicles in order to eliminate noise in the library and accommodate more students attending the university. The man in the conversation thinks the university is making a mistake. As for the first purpose to reduce distraction, the man says if there is no multiperson tables in the library, therewill be no place to get together to do group projects. He thinks instead of changing tables, the university should build meeting rooms to reduce the noise in the main library hall. As for the second purpose to accommodate more students, the mans says the library has no problem with over crowding. He sees empty tables all the time and the woman always takes a whole table for herself. The man thinks it’ll be a waste of money to build the cubicles since the library now is sufficiently big to hold more students.4. Explain the concept of ritualization using the example of dogs discussed by the professor.Ritualization is a process in which an animal’s behavior that originally serves a practical purpose develops into one that communicates a specific message. The professor use dog’s baring teeth as an example to explain the concept. If dogs feel threatened, they show their teeth, meaning stay away. Before this dog’s behavior become a recognizable warning, its original purpose is to avoid biting its own lips. When dogs sense danger, they bite and instinctively bare teeth to avoid biting their own lips. But other animals over time notice the teeth baring behavior always came before a dog’s going to bite. So they started to read itas a signal to be careful. After this scenario repeated time after time, dogs themselves start to be aware that simply baring teeth is enough to protect themselves. So they use this behavior as a warning signal to communicate the possibility to attack rather than actually attack.5. The speakers discusses two possible solutions to the man's problem. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.The man just got his first draft of paper from the professor and he has to review all the comments and write a final draft. But there is only one day left. The woman offers him two possible suggestions. The first suggestion is to ask the professor for a deadline extension. Since all the other students got their paper a few days ago and only the man got his paper just now, the professor should take some responsibility for this situation. But the man doesn’t want to seem pushy and offensive. The second possible solution is to do his best with the time left. He can finish the paper quickly and work hard. Since he is a pretty good student, he can get a pretty good grade. But there are too manycomments to deal with. If I were the man, I would choose the first solution. Since this is the professor’s fault, even if it’ll be a little uncomfortable asking the extension, it’s still reasonable to do so. There is no need to worry about being offensive. The man just need to tell the problem to the professor in the first place. I’m sure the professor will understand.6. Using points and examples from the talk, explain the concept of diffusion.Diffusion is a culture process whereby one group or society adopts another’s item such as a custom, a type of food or an invention. Take the modern newspaper in the US as an example, the characters on the page came from another culture many centuries ago, the printing of words was invented in Germany and paper in China. These innovations were shared across cultures over a long distance and over a long periods of time. Besides, diffusion is sometimes selective. For example, people in the US accept the practice of acupuncture, but few of them fully understand it. Because cultures tend to resist ideas that are too different from their own beliefs and values. If ideas are close to their own, they will incorporate,medicine.。

TPO口语参考答案Task 1Question•Describe a place you have visited that you found very beautiful.•Explain why you found this place beautiful.Sample ResponseI would like to describe a place that I visited recently and found incredibly beautiful - the Niagara Falls. Located at the border between the United States and Canada, the Niagara Falls is undoubtedly one of the most stunning natural wonders in the world.What struck me most about the Niagara Falls was the sheer power and magnificence of the water. The colossal amount of water cascading down the falls was a mesmerizing sight to behold. The thundering sound it made as it crashed into the rocks below added to the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the place. Moreover, the mist and spray created by the falls created a surreal and dreamlike environment. It was as if I had stepped into a fantasy world.In addition to the waterfalls, the surrounding landscape was equally breathtaking. Lush greenery and picturesque views enhanced the overall beauty of the area. Taking a boat ride to the bottom of the falls allowed me to experience the grandeur up close and personal. The close proximity to the falls made me feel exhilarated and humbled at the same time.In conclusion, the Niagara Falls is a place of unparalleled natural beauty. Its stunning waterfalls, combined with the surreal environment and picturesque surroundings, make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to be captivated by the wonders of nature.Task 2Question•Some people prefer to live in small towns. Others prefer to live in big cities. Which do you prefer and why?Sample ResponsePersonally, I prefer to live in big cities for several reasons. Firstly, big cities offer more opportunities in terms of education and career advancement. Major universities, research institutions, and companies are usually located in urban areas, giving residents access to a wide range of educational and professional opportunities. This can greatly enhance one’s knowledge and skills, as well as open doors to a successful and fulfilling career.Secondly, big cities provide a diverse and vibrant social and cultural scene. Museums, theaters, art galleries, and concert halls are just a few of the cultural attractions that big cities offer. Living in a big city means being exposed to different cultures, ideas, and experiences on a daily basis. This not only broadens one’s horizons but also allows for greater personal growth and development.In addition, big cities are often at the forefront of innovation and technological advancements. This means access to state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge research, and a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Being in a city that is constantly evolving and pushing boundaries can be intellectually stimulating and inspiring.Lastly, big cities usually offer better infrastructure and amenities. Public transportation networks are typically more developed and efficient, making it easier to get around. Additionally, big cities tend to have a wider variety of shopping centers, restaurants, and recreational facilities to choose from, ensuring a better quality of life.In conclusion, although there may be some drawbacks to living in big cities such as higher living costs and increased competition, the numerous opportunities, diverse culture, and better infrastructure outweigh these disadvantages. Therefore, I prefer living in big cities for the many advantages they offer.。
托福口语：TPO3口语Task2参考答案
托福口语：TPO3口语Task2参考答案TPO3口语Task2题目：Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it is better to work in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.TPO3口语Task2参考答案(范文模板)：I think that students should work on class assignments by themselves. Firstly, when you work in a group, it’s common to have one person doing most of the work while the rest of the group hardly does anything. Most of the time I ever worked in groups, it was always me doing all the work while the rest of the group still got full credit, which I think is totally unfair. Secondly, I think that people in the group that don’t do as much don’t learn as much either, which can have a negative influence on them later in class. If I was ever in a group and didn’t participate, I ended up learning almost nothing at all, and then would do poorly on any tests that the teacher would assign later. That is why I think that students should work on class assignments by themselves.。

Reading allows me to escape from reality and immerse myself in a different world. It helps me to unwind and forget about my worries and stress.

Moreover, exercising alone gives me an opportunity for self-reflection and introspection. It helps me to clear my mind andrelieve stress.

It was a truly unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression on me.Question 4Question: What is your opinion on using public transportation? Explain why.Answer: I believe that using public transportation is a great way to reduce traffic congestion and minimize pollution. Public transportation systems, such as buses, trains, and subways, are more efficient in terms of carrying a large number of people compared to single-occupancy vehicles. By using public transportation, we can reduce the number of cars on the road,which leads to less traffic and faster travel times.

We can expect to see advancements in battery technology and infrastructure for charging these vehicles. Additionally, there will likely be an increase in the use of autonomous vehicles. With the advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, self-driving cars will become more common. This can lead to improved safety and efficiency on the roads. Lastly, there might also be an increased focus on alternative modes of transportation such as bicycles and electric scooters, promoting a healthier and greener lifestyle.ConclusionIn conclusion, the TPO speaking practice provides an opportunity to improve language skills and enhance communication abilities. By practicing answering a variety of questions, we can develop fluency, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. However, it is important to remember that these are just reference answers and individuals should personalize their responses based on their own experiences and opinions.。
新托福TPO口语参考题目答案——TPO10
题目 1. Talk about a time when you accomplished something you didn't think you could do. What did you accomplish? Why did you think you couldn't do it?答案When I was a sophomore, I took IELTS. I got 8.5 in Listening section which is almost the full mark,9. Originally, I didn’t think I could get above 7 because I couldn’t really follow the speakers’ speed and my vocabulary wasn’t big. So I wasn’t confident. But I knew that my weak point was in listening section, so I listened to the IELTS recordings whenever I had time. When I was walking along the street, I listened to the recordings. WhenI was relaxing, I listened to the recordings. When I was takinga nap, I listened to the recordings. Besides, I bought a book to enlarge my vocabulary. I thinkit were these efforts I paid that helped me get 8.5.题目2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Use details and examples to explain your answer.答案I don’t think all children should be required to learn a second language in school. Some children don’t even like to learn language. They are more interested in playing basketball, football and other sports. Even if they are required to learn a second language, they won’t treat it seriously. I had many friendsin junior high who didn’t learn language at all. But they could play basketball very well and maybe some of them can become professional players. There is no need to learn a second language to achieve their goal. Also, many of the children won’t have chance to use the second language they learned at school, because when they grow up their job doesn’t need any foreign language skills. For example, many of my high school classmates now work as clerks in banks and they don’t need to use foreign language in their work. Still, they can do just fine.题目3. Briefly summarize the proposal in the student's letter. Then state the woman's opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.答案In the letter, the student proposes to put the artworks in the lobby at the entrance to the student center, because the center has many students and is full of natural light. But the girl in the conversation doesn’t agree with it. For the first point about many students passing through student center, she thinks the number of students coming and going is huge, which could be distracting for people to view the artworks. The center is always crowded with people. It’s hard to appreciate the artworks with so many people around. For the second point about natural light,she thinks it’s not very good. If it’s a sunny day, it’ll be way too bright. If it’s a cloudy day, it’ll be way too dark. Instead, the artworks need consistent light like the electric light in an art museum because the electric light is always carefully controlled and stays at a same level.题目4. Using the examples from the lecture, explain the concept of entertainment merchandising.答案Entertainment merchandising is a marketing practice using the brand or image from one product to sell another. The professor uses two examples to illustrate this practice. The first example is that when he was a kid, his friends and he liked a character named Action Hero and they always watched the Action Hero program on Television and played games pretending to be the powerful hero. After a time, they started to see small hero figures in all the stores. They all watched the TV show so long that it was natural they wanted to buy the toys. The second example is that his 7-year-old daughter and her friends like a cute little baby doll named Rosa. One day his daughter told him that a new TV program with Rosa as the main character would show every week. Naturally She and her friends all started to watch the televisionshow which was already popular, as popular as the toy doll.题目5. Briefly summarize the woman's problem. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.答案The woman has a history paper due tomorrow and she has been writing it on her laptop, but the electricity went out and the battery is running low. What’s worse, the electricity won’t be back before several hours. The man suggests her to go to Jefferson City. It’s got electricity and there is library where she can plug in her laptop and it’s only about 20minutes drive. But then she has to pack up all her stuff and it’s raining outside. Then the man gives another suggestion that she can just go to ask the professor for an extension. But the woman says the professor said he didn’t grant any extensions when he assigned the paper. Well, I would recommend the girl to drive to Jefferson City. Though she has to pack her stuff and it’s raining outside, finding a place to finish her paper is the most important thing to do. As a student, she has the responsibility to finish the homework. Accident caused by weather is not an excuse for not finishing homework on time. 题目6. Using the points from the lecture, explain why researchers think that babies may feel empathy.答案The professor talks about an experiment testing babies' empathy. We all know that if one baby cries in a room, other babies in the same room will cry. Originally, we think it’s because of the noise of the crying, which means baby is directly influenced by the noise rather than feel concern for other babies. But in the experiment, the researchers played a tap recording of a baby’s cry to another baby, then of course the other baby cries. Then the researchers played a tap recording of the baby’s own crying which is equally noisy; however the baby didn’t cry. So baby cried not because of the noise. It could be that the baby felt empathy for the other baby. Then researchers concluded that it’s possible that babies feel empathy, concern, for others。

The book is entitled How to be your personal best, its actually a book written by an American writer. The most important lesson Ive learnt from this book is that one has enormous potential waiting to be tapped, sometimes the only thing you need is self-confidence, perserance and the willingness to try. I remember when I was at college, I shiver at the idea of speaking in public untilone day after reading the book I summoned the courage to make a speech and it went so well that I was asked to be a speaker on the universitys debate team-something I would never have imagined in my wildest dream.

I was crazy about Shakespeares playdespite my weak English foundation/the lack of English proficiency. Over the 2 years, I have studied hard and improved my Language Arts grade from a C to an A.

Thebook is important to me because it touches me and gives me encouragement to persist.2. Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe ithas had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details andexamples to explain your opinion.I think television has a positive influence on society. It?s a good source of news. The members inthe society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what?shappening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with thelatest events.Beside television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different showson TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Lateshow with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost andFriends. They all consider TV as a good way of relaxing themselves and of killing time. So, withthe news and same TV programs, people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk aboutin any event. Therefore, society actually benefits from TV.3. Explain why the woman disagrees with the reasons expressed in the letter.The writer of the letter opposes the university?s plan to acquire a new sculpture because theuniversity?s financial condition is poor and the sculpture is so large that it?ll take up all the greenspace in front of the campus center. The woman in the conversation thinks the two reasons aretotally unconvincing. The woman says it?s an anonymous donor who pays the bill of the sculpturenot the university so there is no need to worry about the university?s financial condition. As for thepoint about the space, the woman thinks Paul, the writer of the letter, always plays soccer with hisfriends on the lawn where the sculpture will be. She thinks Pauljust doesn?t want to move toanother place. For him, it?s convenience versus sculpture.4. Explain groupthink and its effects using example of the computer company.Groupthink is a process in which individual members of a group conform their ideas to the groupconsensus even if the result may not be well. The professor in the lecture uses his personalexperience in a computer company to illustrate this process. Once he and his co-worker suggestedto give their computer a design make-over to look cooler in order to attract new customers. At first,the majority supported their suggestion. But there were a few senior managers who didn?t support.Then some supporters changed their mind, so did the professor?s co-worker. The co-workerchanged his mind because he didn?t want to make a bad impression on senior managers. Hethought disagreeing with them might harm his future promotion. Then after a long discussion andwith more and more people sided with senior managers, the professor himself thought he was theonly one who?s delaying the decision. Then, he voted against himself. So they all agreed not tohave this design make-over. At last, the company lost profit because its competitors came up withgood-looking computers and win more customers.5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman?s problem. Briefly summarize theproblem. Then state which should solution you recommend and explain why.The woman was supposed to drive a bunch of elementary students tothe zoo tomorrow but shedidn?t rent a van in time and the kids will be disappointed if the trip gets cancelled. The mansuggests her to borrow a car from one of her friends. But she has to borrow two cars to hold all thekids and it?s hard to find another driver. Then the man suggests her to take the publictransportation. He is pretty sure that there is a bus line past the zoo. But the woman thinks it?s hardto control the kids on the bus. Well personally, I would recommend the woman to take the bus line.Even if the kids are handful, they are still controllable. But there is no guarantee that she canborrow two cars and find another driver at the same time.6. Using the research described by the professor, explain what scientists have learned about themathematical abilities of babies.In the lecture the professor describes how scientists learn about baby?s mathematical abilities.Researchers did an experiment to test baby?s ability to add that baby knows one plus one equalstwo. They first put a doll in front of a baby and lowered the screen to hide the doll. So the babyknows it?s there. Then they clearly put another doll behind the screen so there should be two dolls.But researchers secretly took one away and when they lift the screen up, the baby was surprisedbecause it expected to see two dolls but there was only one. We know when a baby is surprised, itstares at the thing that makes it feel surprised. The researchers recorded the baby?s eye-movementwith a camera and found that the baby stared. So the baby has the ability to add. It knows one dollplus one doll equals two dolls.新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO21. Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Pleaseinclude specific details in your explanation.I often go to the basketball court near my apartment. It?s very important to me because I playbasketball there everyday and basketball is my favorite sport. Ever since I was a little boy, I havebeen playing in that court with my friends. When in junior high, I practiced shooting and dribblingin that court nearly everyday till late at night. Besides, the court is the reminder of an awful lot ofmy valuable memories. I still can remember that how I started out shooting badly and then afterseveral weeks? practice, I could shoot well and dribbled well. I can also remember many friendswith whom I played basketball and form teams. Without that court, I couldn?t possibly make somany friends. So it?s very important to me.2. Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broadeducation. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understandingof that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?Well, I think taking a wide variety of courses is better for students. Because, first of all, I thinkundergraduate study is meant for broadness. Students had better broaden their horizon and preventthemselves from being narrow-minded. Second of all, I think before students find their “true love”,I mean, the subject they really want to go deep into, they should probably extend their study fieldand taste different subjects in various areas so as to identify the “true love”. Take myself as anexample, my major is software engineering in the college, but I took various courses outside mymajor field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literature than in computer and software.So literature is my “true love”.I think it depends on the students themselves. If a student doesn?t know his or her interest. It?sbetter for them to take a variety of courses so as to taste various kinds of subjects to find theirinterest. Take myself as an example, my major is software engineering in the college, but I tookvarious courses outside my major field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literaturethan in computer and software. So literature is my interest. If a student already know what he likesand what he needs to learn. Then taking many different classes will be a little bit waste of time.It?s better for this student to concentrate on his or her interest. For instance, I don?t think BillGates need to take courses other than computer science when in Harvard, coz he knew what heliked and what he wanted. He already knew his interest.3. The man expresses his opinion of the university?s plan to eliminate the bus service. State hisopinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The university has decided to stop its free bus service because not very many students ride the busand plans to use the money saved to expand the overcrowded parking lots. But the manin theconversation doesn?t like the plan. As for the point about few students riding the bus, the man saysit?s because the bus routes are out of date. The bus only goes through the places that are tooexpensive for students to live. If the buses change route and the man thinks there will be plenty ofstudents taking those buses. The man also disagrees with the university?s plan to expand theparking lots. He thinks the plan will encourage more students to drive, which will add noise andcreate more traffic. Then they?ll need more parking space. He thinks the university should make iteasier for students to take the public buses not the other way around.4. Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle ofaudience effects.The principle of audience effects is that individuals? performance is affected by the knowledgethat others are watching them. The professor uses examples of tying shoes and learning to type todemonstrate that we actually increase our speed of performing if we know that we are beingobserved. In the example of tying shoes, one group of collegestudents was told that they werebeing observed, the other didn?t know they were being observed. The students who knew theywere being watched tied their shoes much faster than the other group. And in the example oflearning to type, when we are conscious of being observed, we will increase typing speed. Wetype faster than we do alone. Also, other behavioral pattern will increase, like making mistakes.So when we type faster when we know we are being observed, we also make more mistakes.5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman?s problem. Describe the problem andthe two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.The professor asks the woman to attend a field trip, but the womanhas already promised anotherprofessor to help set up a museum exhibition next week. And this is the problem. The professoroffers two possible solutions. The first is that she can talk to the other professor to see if there issomeone else who can replace the woman to help set up the museum exhibition. Thesecond is thatthe woman finishes setting up the museum before they set out the field trip. Actually, I think thewoman should choose the second solution, because she has already agreed to help the otherprofessor and the other professor is counting on her. It?s possible that there is no one else who cantake her place. So she?d better finish the task first before she goes to the field trip.6. Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two definitions of money presented by theprofessor.The professor talks about two definitions of money, a broad one and a narrow one. By the broaddefinition, money is everything with which we can make purchases. For example, coins and billscan be money, because we can use them to buy goods such as vegetables and pay for services suchas taxi. But in a barter system, vegetables can be money, because farmers can give driversvegetables in exchange for a drive. By the narrow definition, in a society, the legal tender ismoney. For instance, in the US, drivers and farmers must accept dollars as payment. People canuse dollars to pay for taxi and buy vegetables because dollar is the legal tender in the US. So,dollar in the form of coin and bill is money.新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO31. What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Explain why thesecharacteristics are important to you.I think a good parent should be patient. Because children are always confused with the thingsaround them, they ask questions every now and then. A good parent should be patient enough togive them answers. When i was very young, I always asked questions like “Why canairplanesfly?”,“Why can?t we fly?” and “Why the earth is a globe?”. My parents answered these questionspatiently and if they couldn't, they would buy books that have the answers to my questions. I alsothink a good parent should be open-minded. In other words, they should respect their children'sdecisions when their kids are growing up. My parents always show their respect to my decisions.My major in the college is software engineering, but I decided to be an English teacher aftergraduation. My parents respected my decision and allow me to pursue my own interest. Thanks tomy parents, I am patient and I respect other people.2. Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it is better towork in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I prefer to work on assignments individually. There are two reasons. The first is that I like to be ina quiet place while studying. If I study in a group, I will always be interrupted by group memberswho talk about irrelevant things. Then it?s possible that I can?t even finish the assignments. Once,I attended a group discussion. Many people were not even discussing. They were just talkingabout NBA games. When it ended, I got nothing from it. The second reason is that I?d like to thinkindependently. Studying individually gives me enough time to develop my own ideas. Whenstudying in a group, I will always be distracted by other?s opinions and thoughts. So sometimesmany assignments are not done by myself but by other group members. Like last week, I workedin a group to solve math problems. It turned out that many problems were solved by others not bymyself. I felt very unhappy about it.Personally, I like working in groups better. There are two reasons to name. First is that there isdiversity in groups. Group members all have their different perspectives so some members canhelp other members. Last week, I attended a math group and there was one math problem Icouldn?t work out. But there was one member who knew how to solve that problem and heworked out the problem in a completely different way. Then I learned from him. The secondreason is that I can practice my communicative skills. In group discussions, I should be able tounderstand others? ideas and at the same time to convey mine clearly in order to make thecommunication go well. I learn how to express myself properly and to be a good-listener.3. The woman expresses her opinion of the change that has been announced. State her opinion andexplain her reasons for holding that opinion.Dining services will not serve hot breakfast food anymore. They only serve coldbreakfast food.The woman in the conversation thinks the change is ridiculous. First of all, she thinks whethersomething is hot or cold doesn?t necessarily mean it is healthy. She says that in a really coldmorning, a nice warm omelet is obviously better than a bowel of cold cereal. Secondly, she thinksthe change will not help save money. Because if the students can?t get what they want from dininghall, they will go off-campus. Then they have to pay off-campus price, which is more expensive.So this change will not help save money but actually end up costing more.。

1. Describe a place you enjoy going to.One place I really enjoy going to is the beach. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the feeling of the warm sand between my toes is incredibly relaxing.

In Rome, I explored ancient ruins like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. And in Berlin, I learned about the city's rich history through visits to the Berlin Wall and the Holocaust Memorial.

Train(1.1) Doesnt get affected by the weather(1.1.1) Trains can keep going in heave rain or snow storm (1.2) Good at keeping the schedule(1.2.1) Trains usually leave and arrive on time; airplanes are almost never on time(1.3) Economical(1.3.1) It can move many people at a low cost. E.g. Chinese New Year托福口语tpo12范文一：I think the most efficient type of transportation in my country is the high-speed train for the following reasons. First of all, train is probably the last thing that still moves in a really bad weather. When theres a snow storm, youcant drive or fly, but you can take the train as usual. Second, trains are pretty good at keeping a schedule. I cant even recall how many times my flights been delayed. When taking the train, I can usually make it to my destinationon time. Finally, the train can move a lot of people at a low cost. During every Chinese New Year, there are approximately 400 million people on the move trying to get back home. I cant imagine any other type of transportation that canmove so many people in just a few weeks.托福口语tpo12范文二：I think airplane is the most efficient type of transportation in my country because its fast andcomfortable. It only takes me three hours to fly from Beijing to Chongqing. This saves me a lot of time. I can go to Chongqing in themorning and come back to Beijing in the evening. However, if I take train or bus, itll take me at least 20 hours. So its very fast to take planes. Also, every time I am on the plane, the flight attendant serves me delicious food anddrink, all free of charge. But in a train, the attendants arent very hospitable and you have to pay for all the food and beverage even though they arent of high quality. So thats why I think taking plane is comfortable.托福口语学习的5大方法托福口语学习方法一：独立口语表述的学习方法依据熟悉的话题进行论述，如描述一个熟悉的地方或谈论一段个人经历;用简单明了的语言说明一种观点或偏好，并用逻辑的语言对原因进行阐述;提出一项建议并用合理的解释规劝别人接受这个建议;排列出ETS常出现的热门话题，并针对这些话题做出一分钟的回答。
托福口语：TPO30口语Task2参考答案
I disagree that parents should be involved in helping their children choose a career because for one thing, the child’s interests might be different than the parent’s interests. My parents never forced me in a career. They let me choose for myself because they knew that if they forced me to do something, I wouldn’tbe interested in doing it at all.
That’s why I disagree that parents should help their children choose a career.
For another thing, if a parent is “helping” them choose a career, they may make the child feel forced in a career that the child won’t like. I know many people that have careers that they hate because their parents wanted them to have that career. The best advice I ever got is “love பைடு நூலகம்hat you do and you’ll never work a day in your life”.
