1.兴趣>音乐:I am a 200% music fan! I’ve got almost every collection of Eric Clapton, a very popular American guitarist and whenever I want to escape from my laborious homework, all that I do is just use my walkman to enjoy Eric’s beautiful lyrics! I will have a blast! And, According to my mom’s memory, I have been enjoying singing in the public ever since I was a kindergarten boy! Then, I started my own rock band and made several records of my songs and used them as gifts to my friends in my high-school graduation ceremony. And now I still love singing songs but only to myself but to my beloved girl as well. I am nuts about music! (119)2.政治/ 一次XX的经历I may go into politics, just like Bill Clinton. I used to run for student body president of my university. Because if I want to become a politician one day, I should get some experience under my belt now. On that day, I gave an election speech in front of 1500 people including my best friends and my teachers. It so was fortunate that none of them noticed I was so nervous that my voice couldn’t help trembling. I kept telling myself that I must hold on, and at last I won it by a hair, just 10 votes. My girlfriend Alexandre rushed onto the stage and gave me a quick kiss. That really made my day!(117)3.礼物,发明>>电脑I am a frequent user of computer. If I intend to get access to a variety of information around the world, I will usually surf the Internet with my computer, browsing and downloading everything interesting or useful to me. When I want to write and edit some articles, I use the word processor on the computer, which has a lot of functions that make my work much easier. If I need to make some statistic analysis, I also use the computer software like SPSS, which can relieve me of much manual calculation. In fact, my computer has become my indispensable part of my life and study, I really need it! (110)4.最想去的地方/ 国家: (最想去新加坡)If I’ve got a chance to go to any country in the world, I will choose Singapore without hesitation. It has been attracting me ever since my best friend Robby went to the Singapore National University three years ago.From his E-mail, I knew that the weather in Singapore will never be too cold. That means I could free myself from thick and heavy clothes and enjoy lovely sunshine every day. (I can tell the life there must be snug and comfortable.)Besides, surrounded by the Indonesian Ocean, Singapore is famous for its abundant and delicious seafood, especially lobster and sleeve-fish, which is my favorite.Still, the tropical sceneries there are also fascinating. I bet they will be much more beautiful than those in Robby’s pictures. (127)5.三种交通工具:自行车,汽车,火车,喜欢坐哪一个?(选择自行车)Though I admire my friend Robby who has a fancy car very much, bicycle is still my favorite one. First of all, riding bicycle is a physical exercise which does good to my fitness. Every day it takes me about 20 minutes on my bike from my apartment to the university and by that I am in good shape and seldom catch a cold.Moreover, bicycle is quite friendly to our environment. It’ll create little harmful carbon dioxide to the air as trains and cars do.What’s more, it is wise to use a bicycle in rush hour when cars are desper ately waiting in heavy traffic jams. And it is interesting to hear Robby saying that he also admires me of owning a bike! (124)6.你认为作为一个朋友最重要的特点是什么? (聪明的朋友最好)Well, I think a friend with intelligence is most desirable, because he can help me handle tough situations. I used to have difficulty in remembering chemical terms. Fortunately, my smartest Robby lent a hand and gave me a crash course a week before the final exam and with that I got an A minus! Also, I could benefit a lot from learning from him, such as the way he arranges his notes and how to use software to make statistic analysis.Still, he sets a good example for me to follow. Currently I am working much harder than before, wishing to be as competitive and capable as he is. (111)7. Weak subject (最烂的科目:数学)Mathematics is really not my cup of teeMathematics: 1) abstract: based on imagination, could understand it; do not know how things are operated under its principle2) Have to memorize many formulas and equations, t hough I tried hard, still couldn’t get a satisfactory mark as my friends Robby does my parents are disappointed again and again I am also down in the dumps after each test8. Gift(泰迪熊)Teddy bear: farewell gift from my girlfriend-Alexander went to America to pursue her Master degree in Biology >>though I miss her so much, I can still count on my Teddy bear to cheer me up.When I am faced with hard times my little bear will also whisper her words around my ears “Robby, You are the best!” and I will feel energetic and brave enough to face all the difficulties and challenges againIt is not just a toy but also love between me and Alexandre. I really need it9. Food(最爱吃鱿鱼)Sleeve-fishDelicious, especially when fried with traditional Chinese seasonings.Healthy>>fat free, rich in nutritious and it is said that sleeve-fish contains a certain substance that could prevent human from getting cancersAlso I love it because it is my girlf riend Alexandre’s favorite food. The experience of sharing sleeve-fish with her has become my most cherished moment in my life.10. Pet(宠物狗)I would like to have a dog as a pet, because accompanied by a dog, you will never feel alone. Your dog will always play with you and asks for your love and care. It will never betray you and follow your orders all the time.And, it is of much fun to have your doggy jogging with you in the morning. As long as you can persist, it will never stop running. It is very interesting!Dogs are very alert in the evening because they put their ears directly onto the floor as they sleep. You can hire them to be you family’s night-watcher. They are very dependable! (109)11. Hometown(我的家乡:合肥)My hometown is He fei, which is the capital of An Hei province in the east coast of China. It has three characteristics which make it very famous.First of all, the weather there will never be too cold. That means you could free yourself from thick and heavy clothes in winter and enjoy lovely sunshine every dayAnd, because of its location, He fei has abundant seafood, especially lobsters and sleeve-fish, which are very delicious when fried with traditional Chinese seasonings.Furthermore, the sceneries there are also gorgeous. It owns one of the most famous mountains in China—Yellow Mountain, which is attracting countless tourists around the world. (109)12. Restaurant(“学生之家”饭店)I would like to recommend a small restaurant named STUDENTS’ HOME near my college. It is quite attractive to me and my classmates.First of all, the food there is quite delicious. The cook is very good at preparing food which is not only good to look at but even better to taste.Besides, the prices there are reasonable. Fried eggs with tomatoes is 4 Yuan. Steamed pork with peanuts is 7 Yuan. Sometimes it costs even less than the dishes in school’s mess hall!Still, the waitress there is kind and warm-hearted to us. We could enjoy a comfortable and cozy atmosphere there. I really love this little place! (116)13. Unforgettable event(高中毕业典礼)It was my high school graduation ceremony on July the 7th, 2001. We gathered at the playground at 3:30 and stood in rows to take pictures with Headmaster Mr. Zhang and our teachers from different subjects. Everybody was trying to smile at the camera, disguising their complicated emotions. Then we were dismissed and said goodbye to our dear teachers and friends, with whom we had studied and lived together for 3 years. I could still remember my best friend Robby’s words: “Today, we end one part of our lives and begin an entirely new future.” (96)14. Important decision(坚持音乐理想)Just before my college entrance exam, I had a long and fierce debate with my parents about what major to study. Although they opposed my idea of studying music strongly, I still insisted on my interest and made my decision.I am a 200% music fan and have my heart set on music industry. So in the 1st semester, I started a rock band and just 4 weeks later I released the 1st record <<My dream>>. Last month, after my performance in a music bar, a talent agent invited me to his company for a commercial MTV.I’m so glad that I made the right decision and followed my heart to where it belongs. (110)15 Skills(电脑技能)Computer skill(同上)16. Book(小说<<迷失>>)<<The lost>> is a very interesting book about an old legend of France; this book is also very popular among my classmates. By reading it, I not only broadened my horizon not also leant quite a lot about the Bible, western religion, Paris museums, and French history. In this book, in order to protect the secret of her family, the girl name Emily experienced lots of difficulties and accomplished countless impossible missions. The whole story developed in a very logical and fascinating way. It even made me dream of experiencing the whole story by myself! I really love it!(99)17. People who influences me most(医生舅妈)I’ll say it is my aunt who influences me the most. She is a pediatrician of the Children’s hospital in our city. She almost devotes all her time helping those little patients who are 6 to 10 years old. Once, a little boy refused to accept a very urgent operation just because of fear, his parents made desperate efforts but all failed. Then my aunt stepped into his room and chatted with himthroughout the whole night, and the next day, he agreed. Nobody knew how she did this but everybody knew that she saved one more child again. (102)18. Popular activity in China(乒乓球)Actually many sports are very popular in China, such us soccer, volleyball, table tennis, and badminton. Among those games, I think it is table tennis, which deserves the title of “most popular”. I think table tennis should deserve the title of “most popular”.My friend Robby told me that when he was in America, the deepest impression he has on China is concerning to martial art, Chinese food and table tennis. It is not amazing to see a couple of primary school children playing Ping-Pong by a table which is nearly as tall as they are! Because of this kind of popularity and fancy among different age groups, there are always plenty of outstandingping-pong athletes surging into the National Team. And, as a result, we’ve got nearly all the championship of table tennis around the world. (109)19 Happiest / unforgettable moments (克服困难,竞选成功)My happiest moment is overcoming a difficulty in a competition for the student body president two years ago. On that day, I have to give an election speech in front of 1500 people. My voice couldn’t help trembling and my palms kept sweating. I though I would blow it for sure. But, suddenly something came up to my mind. I remembered how many posters with my slogan I had released and how much encouragement I’ve got from my friends an d teachers. With that, all my confidence and courage reappeared again! At last I gave a very successful speech and won the competition with flying colors! That really made my day! (111)20 A difficulty I overcame (竞选演讲紧张)It should be a competition for the student body president of my university. On that day, I have to give an election speech in front of 1500 people. I was so nervous that my voice couldn’t help trembling and my palms kept sweating. I though I would blow it for sure. But, suddenly something came up to my mind. I remembered how many posters with my slogan I had released and how much encouragement I’ve got from my friends and my teachers. With that, all my confidence and courage reappeared again! At last I gave a very successful speech and won the competition with flying colors! (106)21 Features of cafe or restaurant I like (味道,价格,态度)I would like to choose a restaurant with the following characteristics.First of all, the food there must be quite delicious; at least as appetizing as the food made by my father. It’ll be much better if it is also clean and good looking.Besides, the prices should be reasonable. For example, Fried eggs with tomatoes, no more than 6 Yuan and steamed pork with peanuts no more than 10 Yuan would be Ok!I also car e about the waiters and waitress’ attitudes towards consumers. If they are kind and warm-hearted, I will probably enjoy a comfortable and cozy atmosphere there. But, if not, I would better leave and choose another one. (110)22. Most efficient transportation in your country. (汽车效率最高)Well, my answer is bus service.First of all, you can find a bus stop out of your companies or universities without any difficulty, because the distance between two bus stops is usually no more than 200 meters.In addition, thanks to the improved road condition, a bus can easily run at the speed of 150 km/h on freeways. For example you can travel by bus from shanghai to Nanjing in less than 3 hours. Sometimes you can even make some friends with certain passengers, because you always get on the same bus at the same time from the same stop. It’s of great fun, isn’t it? (108)23. Sport (篮球)Basketball is my favorite sport.Because plying basketball offers me a chance of taking some physical exercises which is essential in the maintenance of physical fitness as well as high spirits.It also enables me to keep in touch with my friends, because we are usually busy with different stuff and have less and less time to communicate and share happiness with each other. This is a pretty good way!It also strengthens my sense of sharing and team-spirit; because we have to cooperate with one another and fight as a team to bear victories or failures. I’ve learnt quite a lot from it. (103)word格式-可编辑-感谢下载支持。
托福iBT黄金口语80题(答案版)1. 说出你认为对你最有用的一本书,并解释原因。
The most important book for me is my undergraduate major textbook which is called marketing. Because as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so it broadens my knowledge scope, such as the aspects of advertising and trade. On the other hand, well, a plenty of cases are included in this book, in addition, many definitions can explained very acceptable so it definitely helps me to get a deeply understanding of my major.2. 电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用,选择其中之一并解释原因。
As far as I am concerned, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides. First, from the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it. And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard day’s work. What’s more, its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and has a great influence on the way people think and talk.3. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life. Personally speaking, the most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose marketing as my major in university, as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so in order to learn it well, I have to learn various subjects such as international trade and brand management. What’s more, i’m little timidity in front of challenges such as doing the presentation and negotiation, I guess most of the people may have this kind of stage fright, So marketing is a major can definitely anneal myself. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. Finally, I got the highest GPA in my grade.4. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science?I bet no one could deny that the main responsibility of a high school is to help its students develop various abilities not only the academic abilities. In other words, music and art should be viewed as basic science. Firstly, It is very important to get fully educated for students. Music and art can help the students appreciate beauty in our lives, and that will broaden knowledge scope of students. Also Music and art do good to students’ mentality. A sound mentality is essential to the student’s future.5. 空闲时间用来做什么?When I have time to kill, I usually like to surf the internet to pay close attention to new fashion trade. Such as the fashion week, respectively, new york fashion week, paris fashion week, London fashion week and milian fashion week. The rest of time, I usually go to the library to find some valuable books and a park to relax myself. There are many books to my taste, such as fashion magazines, inspirational books, and professional books. These books can make me healthier and energetic. And last thing I’d like to do when I am free is to eat out with my family members. You may be surprised to know that I have tried all the restaurants in our community!6. 打手机该不该在一些地方禁止?I strongly agree with the opinion that the use of a mobile phone should be forbidden in some places, such as library and airplanes. The most common reason for people going to a library is to find a silent environment to read their favorite books without interruption. But if you receive a phone call in the library or just send out messages, the mobile phone will ring. Though people have personal right to use their mobile phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary disturbance. And I do not think it is very polite unless you can turn down the volume. Another place is airplane. As we all know that it is very dangerous to have a phone call in airplane. It may causes interference between the signals. Therefore mobile phone should be forbidden in airplanes unless there is a new technique can avoid it.7. 描述一件自己印象深刻的celebration或者moment。
Description (Mainly)1. 说出你认为对你最有用的一本书,并解释原因。
The most helpful book for me is the Chinese dictionary. Firstly, our country have many words we never use them in daily life and so many words always confuse me. The dictionary can help me get over by offering many detailed explanations and examples. In addition, I can also learn how to apply the new words into writing and speaking by studying the examples earnestly. Furthermore, I can learn a lot of knowledge beside new words. For example, it is very likely that a good dictionary illustrate a specific animal or plant with a picture. Thus, we get more information out of the dictionary.2. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life.The most important decision that I have ever made is when I was 17 years old, I chose music as my major in my college. It’s of great importance because it determines what I will learn and what I will do the next four years. What is more, it partly determines my future career for the rest of my life. After four years of study, I think I made a right decision, because I do like music.music is so close to god and I feel love inside.music give me faith,give me power to face the real world.3. 空闲时间用来做什么?4. What will you do to relax yourself?(3)I always prefer to go to a coffee house with my friends to relax myself,because I like the quiet atmosphere and soft music there. There is one such coffee house near my university, sometimes we go there to enjoy the delicious coffee and cookies on the weekends, and all the things provided there are not very expansive. We can just sit down and share our experience with each other. So I think a coffee house is an ideal place to have a good time with friends.(4) I always prefer to spend spare time with my friends in a coffee house.5.当你去restaurant或cafe得时候最care about的features有那些Actually, when I go to a restaurant or café I only care about some basic features. First of all, the most important thing I concern with is t he sanitary condition. It’s directly related to consumers’ health, you will feel uncomfortable to sit down in a dirty house and use the dirty dishware. In addition, I think a good service is also necessary; I don’t want to wait for a meal for a long time a nd the waiter/waitress shouldn’t give you a cold face at least.Besides, the taste of foods provided also plays a crucial role for me to judge a restaurant or café.6. 描述一件自己印象深刻的celebration或者moment。

The reason is that a new hospital has been opened recently in the local community. Because the new hospital is very close to the campus end most students can have convenient access to it, and also because the new hospital comes with a lot of first-class medical equipment, which the student health center lacks, the student health center‟s existence is not justified anymore. Also, the money saved by canceling the student health center will be used to amplify the library storage.The woman expresses her opinion of the school‟s cancellation of the student health center. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. 4.Reading passage:False ConsensusSocial-psychologists point out that many people, when acting among others, tend to believe that their thought represents the ideas of the majority in the population, or at least, they feel at ease because their opinions don‟ t contradict those of the mainstream.

Nevertheless, because of the rapid increase of student numbers in recent years and the limited seats of the computer lab, it has become progressively difficult to meet each student‟s requirements. Therefore, in order to be able to serve the students better, the administrators have decided to add evening classes in the computer lab from 6pm to 9pm, Monday to Friday.The man expresses his opinion of the university‟s plan. Stale his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage;Nonverbal LanguagesNonverbal languages refer to human emotional expressions without involving verbal statements. Facial expressions and body movements are the two mostly attributed types of nonverbal languages.It is generally believed that nonverbal languages function as the enhancement of emotional expressions when they consist with verbal languages.

However, the school authorities have made the decision of replacing the two-day hiking trip with a new orientation consisting of only one-day hiking or a one-day game. Either of them is available to first-year students, depending on each individual‟s choice. By composing this major adjustment, the school is reasoning that freshmen students may be more willing to welcome a short orientation and also the new orientation is easier for students to make their individual choice.The man expresses his opinion of the university‟s plan. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Diffusion of ResponsibilityDiffusion of responsibility is a social-psychological phenomenon which tends to occur in groups of people above a certain critical size when responsibility is not explicitly assigned.Normally, people would feel responsible for lending hands to others in emergency. However, sometimes, they may also fail to respond to obvious urgent situations, when their responsibility is not clearly assigned and they have reasons to believe that some other people will certainly help out.

After that, he starts to respond to his beliefs by taking practical actions.

State his opinion and ex plain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.4.Reading passage:Buyer’s RemorseBuyer‟s remorse refers to an interesting phenomenon mostly observed in customer services.
