Firstly, my friends and I are all optimistic persons. We believe the world is generally a wonderful place to live in. Although we always encounter some difficulties and failures, we don?t lose faith.

Leader 应该有的qualities? (2006/10/21)

Firstly, a leader should have respect for his subordinates. The fundamental of any relationship is mutual respect. A leader without respect for the others cannot win other s? respect.
Secondly, a leader should have good management skills. He should know quite well how to communicate with the subordinates and make them more productive. Finally, a leader should have adequate professional knowledge. A leader decides where the company should go, so he should know quite well about the business he is undertaking.

Besides, a person with great desire and passion will work positively and actively so the efficiency of the whole team can be improved.

3. Describe an important invention before computer/a normal commodity in your family and explain its advantages and disadvantages.
The invention I want to talk about is Television:
On the one hand, it has many Advantages:
1. Keep people informed the latest information without going out of their homes. Ex: the latest scientific discovery from the program of discovery
2. Entertain people, movies, basketball games, football games
Ex: My dad is a huge F1 fans, and he always watch the matches at home on TV.
On the other hand, it has several Disadvantages:
1: If people spend too much time watching soap series, they may not have much time to get together with their family and friends. That means it may isolate people from the real world.
2: Some unhealthy programs would be harmful to children. It is said that violent movies can make children be more violent.
4. Describe the worst invention in the 20th century and explain how it affects your life. 塑料袋
I think the worst invention in the 20th century is plastic bags. The reasons are as following:
Firstly it is bad for the environment. As we all know, it cannot be recycled for further use. Each year, millions of plastic bags are thrown away and people just bury them underground which actually does a lot harm to the environment.
It is also harmful to people?s health. It is said that plastic bags can emit poisonous stuff that human noses cannot smell. Although the amount is small, it can be very dangerous to human health.
All in all, plastic bags are not only bad for the environment, but also harmful to our health.

It will save me a lot of time and energy.
Moreover, owning a car offers me another way of travelling. For example, I can take my family or friends to a nearby park to picnic. I?m sure it would be fun.

They say there’s evidence that babies as young as five months old can do basic arithmetic, that they can add. Scientists think babies know one plus one equals two and not one. The evidence is indirect because obviously you can’t ask a five-month old baby to add up some numbers for you. So they devised an experiment where, um, in this experiment a baby is shown a doll on a table. Ok, so the baby looks at the doll. Then the researcher lowers a screen in front of the doll, so now the doll is hidden behind the screen. But the baby has already seen the doll and, so, knows it’s there. Well, then the researcher takes a second doll and very obviously places it behind the screen with the first one. Ok, so now you have two dolls behind the screen, right? Well, no, cause what the researcher did was they secretly took away one of the dolls. And then when they raised the screen back up, the baby, well, it expects to see two dolls, right?

托福口语要点解析及答题技巧 托福口语一共有6个task，分为独立口语和综合口语两大部分，独立口语主要是根据题目表达自己的观点，综合口语是对听力内容的概述和总结，下面就和大家分享托福口语要点解析及答题技巧，希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语要点解析及答题技巧 一. 托福口语要点解析 托福口语的6个task答题都有各自的要点，大家一定要注意。 在回答Task 1的时候要首先讲明主题句，然后列出三点理由，举一个例子论证即可，例子尽量具体。Task2要用主题句表明倾向，然后叙述两点理由，最后可以做一个总结句。Task3可以使用三段式模板，但是要注意把握时间，阅读段落和听力段落描述时间比例约为1:2。Task4先概括*段落大意，听力段落重点描述，如果阅读段落中有提到的内容，但在听力段落中没有提到，可以不说。Task5对于前半部分的问题描述可以使用模板快速回答，描述个人意见时可以选择一条或两条理由，只要描述足够充分就可以。Task6答题时最为重要的是描述清楚事情的起因和结果以及主要特征，描述过程中不要遗漏重点信息，也不要出现描述错误的情况。
二. 托福口语答题技巧 1. 语调轻松，不要像背书 托福口语考试是模仿交流的考试，所以一定不要给人一种你在背书的感觉。答题时要当成普通聊天，也可以加一些口头语，比如“you know”、“I mean”等等。这样的口头词语可以在你突然卡顿的时候，给你短暂的思考时间，也会让你的回答听起来更加流利和顺畅。回答期间尽量不要突然停住不说话，流利度很重要。 2. 内容丰满，自圆其说 口语答题时，一定要注意答案的丰满度，比如，举例论证的时候，一定要将例子表达完整。逻辑关系明确，如果分点回答，可以用“first，second，third”等词汇过渡，让自己的回答听起来条理清晰。答题时分论据一定要和自己的主题论据一致，能够自圆其说，切忌前后互不照应。 3. 平时多练习 托福口语的平时需要多练习，如果平时没有打好基础，那么考试中的技巧再好也是没有用的。另外，口语的练习离不开老师的指导，要及时根据老师的建议强化自己的薄弱环节。另外，平时多去用英语交流的场合练习口语。 托福口语素材之为什么我们爱看爱乐之城
托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲 解 托福口语虽然话题广泛内容变化众多，但在答题过程中其实是存在一些可供考生使用的套路的。今天给大家带来了托福口语TASK1-6全部题型答题套路汇总讲解，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲解 托福口语一二题无明显套路 首先，是答题思路，一般口语一二题就是缩小版的independent writing(可以在高分作文里找思路)，而三四五六题是通过听力提取信息。一二题大家可以用机经来练习，一是可以熟悉题目，二是可以练习把握时间。三四五六题，则有模板可寻：托福口语第三题套路介绍 先阅读一封信或是一个通告，一般是一个建议，对校园内的一项进行一个改变，这个“change”是阅读*中至关重要的，因为后面的对话主要是围绕这个进行的，至于*中给出的理由，并不是很重要，因为没有时间也没有必要说这个。之后听一男一女对话，主要是找主要说话人的态度，然后记下他或她的两个理由和
举例，不用全记，每点理由记一到两个原因或事例就好。之后组织语言：是change+态度+两点理由。 托福口语第四题套路介绍 先阅读一个科研类*，然后听一段lecture，之后对一个概念进行定义和举例解释。在这道题，阅读的部分需要抓住的要点比上一题要多，首先是题目，题目一般是所要解释的概念，所以要把题目记下来，然后在阅读段落里找对这个概念的定义，一般是含这个词的一句话，记下，之后听lecture时主要记下教授解释这个概念所用的例子，一般可能是一个故事或实验，这时就要记下主要轮廓和具体的对比或例子，之后组织语言，按：*讨论某事某物+定义+教授举例解释的方式回答。 托福口语第五题套路介绍 这道题不用阅读，直接是一男一女对话，主要是其中一个人遇到一个problem，要着重记下，然后是另一个提出两个解决方案，并且各给利弊。之后题目会让你在两个方案中选择一个。很多老师的建议都是选择第二个方案，因为据说这样更好回答，符合大家惯用的让步反驳式思路。答题时，思路为：叙述这个问题+两个解决方案+你分析后的选择。由于回答较长，需要注意用连词。 托福口语第六题套路介绍

I found the painting memorable because it reminded me of many things we learned about in history class, such as the Great Depression, Prohibition in the 1920s, and gangsters like Al Capone. I find that period of history very interesting, and the painting seems to contain many elements of that period in one place. response 2 by non-native The most memorable photo I have ever seen is a photo of Mount Everest. The beauty of it was breathtaking. The snow was so pure and the sky was crystal clear. I could not help but wonder what it would be like to be on the top of that mountain and to see everything from up there. Since the first time I laid my eyes on that gorgeous photo, I know, I cannot get it out of my mind or even out of my life. And I have always dreamt of climbing to its very top.

托福口语每道题的答题方法 不管是托福口语试题的哪部分，都有其内在的出题规律和答题技巧，今天给大家带来托福口语每道题的答题方法，希望可以帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语每道题的答题方法 首先是第一题，preference 题或称之为“偏好题”，经过收集和研究，题型主要走人物题、地点题、事件题及物品题。由于不会出现雅思考试考官针对同一话题问两次到三次的情况，所以针对托福备考有个称之为“同一话题只需准备一个题材”的概念，也就是在备考前面对同一话题无需泛化去找另类话题，而是不断深化，思考可以囊括阐述其他人物、地点、事件或物品的通用理由。如果*开始表述，建议如同写作一样大体分为三段阐述，开题无需技巧，简单读题即可，把you 都改成me，比起I think……开头可以省去相对多的思维时间。内容一般找三个理由，为避免理由重复或累赘，建议就方便、经济、减压等常用理由进行练习，并结合不断问自己How 及Why 等问题来充实内容，完成example 的部分。最后用连词进行连接，这里有个技巧，就使用first, also, finally，因为三到六题综合题中这三个词常成为提示词出现，在前两题中使用可对其有一定敏感度。
再次是第二题，结合第一题，内容分布完全相同，并且这两题对时间把握尤其重要，要求考生进行“掐表”练习，对45s 有感性认识，当一定练习后，口语部分的考试不再是考内容的，而是考时间的，因此在考试过程中掐时间角度有很多技巧可言，比如：当阐述内容结束时时间为38s 或39s，则在最后可加句detail 或一句类似The person like me has no choice but to do sth.的长废话;当结束时时间为41s 或42s，则在最后可加一句短废话，如I find it’s cool. 最讨厌的是41s 说完这句短废话后变成42s，离perfect time 还是有3 秒钟，那么可以用一些装口吃或吞口水的考场技巧将时间掐到44s 或45s。(实践证明装口吃或吞口水不扣分)最后是三到六题的综合题部分。综合题由于会有听力和阅读，因此要求考生对信号词定位有所敏感，口语中涉及的技巧是即使不理解听力内容，结合简单的信号词如first, also, finally, but, yet, for the following reasons 等定位中心内容，遇到生疏单词、句子，记下读音，再完整地还给考官，一样得分。第三题听力内容中一男一女进行谈话，就他们对阅读内容的态度与否(支持还是反对)，不可以从语气上进行判断，要根据记录内容的回推去确认，以免犯错。 第四题是普遍认为最难的一题，但记好一个技巧：“阅读找概念，听力找例子”，由于此学术题是由同一个人出的，听力内

新托福口语的六个Task 按题型可分为两类：1. 独立口语命题independent speaking task（类似于雅思口语第二部分的考察方式，给定问题单纯考speaking skill）；2.综合口语命题integrated speaking task（根据阅读和听力的内容回答问题，是一种新型考试形式，考察学生阅读听力和口语等综合能力）。按话题可以分为三类：1. 个人生活；2. 校园场景；3. 学术场景。Task 4既是综合题又是学术题，其应对策略必定从综合题和学术题的特点入手，本文就综合题这一角度出发，谈谈Task 4的备战方法之第一招——记笔记（note-taking）。 作为综合题，Task4要求考生先读一篇100字左右的短文，然后听一段60-90秒的学术讲座，通常情况下，阅读材料大致介绍某学科的一个基本概念或术语，而听力材料则是对这一概念的详细讲解和说明。考生的任务是用听力中的例子或细节来解释阅读中的概念。在这一环节中，考生只是担当一个reporter的角色，不允许给个人观点。评分的一个重要标准是考生是否能按要求准确并且无缺失地概括阅读和听力材料中的重点信息。可以看出，在此过程中，考生除了需要具备一定的口语复述能力之外，更重要的是要懂得一些note-taking的技巧。因为人的短时记忆是有限的，精确有序的信息再现依赖于完整而清晰的notes。这种口语考试模式再一次突显了新托福考试的宗旨，与雅思考试一样都是为了检测考生是否具备在海外留学和生存的能力。note-taking是今后留学生涯中必不可少的技能，必要的了解和操练不仅是备战新托福口语的利器，也为日后的继续学习做了准备。下面结合IBT TOEFL Task 4的特点谈谈如何有效的take notes. 第一步：阅读、列提纲 Task4开始时，有45秒钟的阅读时间，在这一过程中，应充分利用文章标题给的提示，快速确定Task4的Topic，并找出sub-points的数量和内容。举例说明如下： Verbal and Nonverbal Communication When we speak with other people face-to-face, the nonverbal signals we give—our facial expressions, hand gestures, body movements, and tone of voice—often communicate as mush as, or more than, the words we utter. When our nonverbal signals, which we often produce unconsciously, agree with our verbal message, the verbal message is enhanced and supported, made more convincing. But when they conflict with the verbal message, we maybe communicating an entirely different and more accurate message than what we intend. 对于这篇短文，我们通过survey标题可以确知其Topic，即verbal和nonverbal,带着这两个关键词去读文章主体部分，可以发现这样的一个特点（这也是多数Task4短文的一个共同特点），一句Topic sentence, 两句supporting ideas。运用速记方法，本篇outline可以列为： Nonverbal & verbal message in face-to-face talk
