Sampling Error
Often, students or employees will be asked to draw a conclusion from a huge amount of data. That’s when a sample is introduced. When a sample is accurate, it can represent the whole group. But when it is wrong, sampling error would occur. In statistics, sampling error or estimation error is caused by observing a single sample instead of the whole population. Sampling error can be found by subtracting the value of a parameter from the value of a statistic. Generally, there are two methods of reducing sampling error: increasing the sample size, and ensuring that the sample can adequately represent the entire population.
Sample Answer:
The passage talks about a statistics term “sampling error”, which is caused by obversing a single sample instead of the
whole population. If the sample is inaccurate, sampling error might appear. The lecture cited one experiment to illustrate the term. A researcher intended to conduct an experiment to calculate the amount of fish of different sizes in one pond. The researcher scooped out one net of fish to be his statistic sample. To his surprise, there were only big fish and middle sized fish in his net. Finally, he figured out that small fish has already escaped from his big-mesh fishing net.（the example best illustrates the conception ＂＂）

Observational Learning
Some scientists believed that direct reinforcement could not account for all types of learning. Bandura’s learning theory added a social element, arguing that people can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people. Known as obversational learning(or modeling), this type of learning can be used to explain a
wide variety of behaviors. Observational learning takes place when an individual acquires a habit or skill through witnessing the performance of another person. Such learning often, but not always, involves imitation of the obverved activities.
Sample Answer:
Observatinal learning means that people can acquire new things through watching other’s performances. The lecture cited one experiment to illustrate the term. In 1961, Bandura conducted his famous Bobo ball experiment to support this theory. Twenty four children were divided into two playrooms where two adult models were seated. The aggressive adult model was attacking the ball while the other played the tinker toy all the time. Then both groups were put into a room of toys and those exposed to the aggressive model tend to act in more aggressive ways. This proves Bandura’s theory that children may be influenced by adult s’behavior through
observational learning.

Fixed Action Patterns of Animal Behavior A fixed action pattern refers to a sequence of innate behaviors that is essentially unchangeable and usually conducted to completion once started. It is triggered by a sensory stimulus called a sign stimulus. Because the animal responds to the sign stimulus, rather than the environment as a whole, it may be “tricked”by signals that are out of their usual context. Even human beings have some behaviors in fixed action patterns, such as sneezes. Understanding some fixed patterns of animal behavior can help us to look deeper into the behavior of animals.
Sample Answer:
A fixed action pattern refers to animal’s innate behaviors that are usually unchangeable and often conducted to
completion once started.The professor discusses two examples to illustrate how animals behave in a fixed pattern. Male crested puffers tend to attack fish with red marks, and they will ignore those invaders without red marks on their bodies. Another case is the female goose. It is inclined to move its head around to protect its duck-lings after laying the eggs. Interestingly, it kept doing this even after the eggs are moved out of the nest.

Social Referencing
Scocial referencing is a process in which infants seek out and interpret the emotional responses from their parents to form their own emotional understanding of unfamiliar events, objects, or people. The concept of social referencing in children has been the subject of increasing studies over the last quarter of a century, as developmental psychologists seek to understand the
formation of emotion in infants and children. Researches in this area have sought to understand how children learn to respond emotionally to various events, how they learn to interpret emotional responses of others, and how they form ideas about appropriateness if emotional displays.
Sample Answer:
Social referencing refers to a progress in which babies interpret the parents’emotional responses to form their own understanding of unfamiliar objects. The lecture introduces two experiments to illustrate the term. The first experiment was conducted among 20 six-minth-old infants. They were separated into two groups and were asked to play dolls. The first group’s mothers smiled to the m while mothers of the second group put on an angry face. No diffiences were found between these two groups. Then, the same experiment was conducted among 20 one-year-old babies. The findings show that babies of smiling
mothers continued to play and the rest babies stopped playing. This indicates that infants older than 1 year would take action according to social referencing.

Quoting out of context Advertisers generally attempt to draw attention to their product through honest methods, such as highlighting unique features or associating it with a certain lifestyle. Thus, many advertisements will focus on a particularly attractive property of the item. However, sometimes advertisers utilize less honest techniques to generate interest. One of the more common of these unethical methods is called “quoting out of context.”When advertisers quote out of context, they display a few positive phrases from an otherwise negative review in order to misguide potential customers. These quotes, removed from the context of the larger article, appear to show that critics
like the product when in fact they did not.
Sample Answer：
According to the reading, quoting out of context is one of the dishonest promotion techniques occasionally used by advertisers. It means quoting a few words from prominent reviewers’ comments in order to mislead the listeners or readers. Since quotations of this kind usually tamper with the real meaning of the reviewers. To illustrate this, the professor cites an advertisement used to promote a film. Generally, a movie store is filled with favorable quotations from famous critics, but these quotations sometimes don’t represent the critics’ original meanings. For example, an advertisement quoted famous critic’s review of a movie as delightful before the movie was released. Lots of people went to the movie because of this seemingly positive comment. However, the critic had a very low opinion of the movie and only said that the movie actress instead
of the movie was delightful. This shows how quoting out of context distorts real meanings.
母题六
Self-fulfilling prophecies Psychologists use the term “self-fulfilling prophecy”to describe the psychological phenomenon whereby a person’s assumptions about a certain outcome influence that outcome. This occurs because people will sub-consciously act in a way that encourages the outcome they have come to expect.
This phenomenon often occurs in the social sphere because society has certain expectations for people based on their background. Once people accept these expectations to be true, they behave according to the stereotypes society has placed upon them. Their level of confidence will largely be determined by how they view themselves. Their actions will in turn only strengthen the societal assumptions that
initially caused the behavior.
Sample answer:
According to the reading, self-fulfilling prophecy is a process that begins with a self-belief, for example, social expectations, proceeds to actions based on the belief and ends with expectations realized. To illustrate this phenomenon, the professor in the lecture cites the findings of some researchers who explored the effect of self-fulfilling prophecies on people’s lives. The researchers sent a randomly selected sample of primary school students to a training camp. The educators in the camp did n’t know the students’intelligence, but they were told that these students were outstanding and should be educated as gifted people. This corresponds to the self-belief in the reading. Then, the educators often encouraged the students and gave positive comments on their performance. This is equal to taking action
based on self- belief in the reading. As a result, the researchers found five years later that most students educated this way showed better performance on IQ tests than most kids. This means that the expectations have come true.
母题七
Buyer’s Remorse
The phrase Buyer’s Remorse refers to the regret that consumers often feel following the decision to make a large purchase, or even after the purchase has been completed. These emotions have no obvious cause such as a defective product, and indeed affect people for no apparent reason. In practice, this phenomenon can prove a challenge for customer service, as it is their duty to insure complete satisfaction with the transaction. Therefore, several techniques have been developed by customer service in order to serve those experiencing buyer’s remorse, for example, salespeople may visit or call the customer to insure they are still satisfied
with the purchase.
Sample answer:
According to the reading, buyer’s remorse is a feeling that turns up after having made a decision to purchase something or after the purchase itself. It means that the consumer regrets over the transaction for no obvious reason. The professor cites his personal experience to illustrate buyer’s remorse and techniques to handle it .one week after he had bought the car that went well, he had buyer’s remorse. He was uncertain whether he had made the right decision. Then, a salesperson used some techniques mentioned in the reading to help the professor get rid of his feeling of regret. For example, the salesperson called the professor to tell him that he had made a right decision. The salesperson even solicited complaints and feedback via email. All this made the professor feel better.

Tpo 1 T4 business management –groupthink Attempt Conform Consensus Delay Inevitable Ultimately Groupthink is that individuals in the group give up their own opinions and have to agree with the idea which the group seems prefer although it would be wrong. Professor gives his own example to demonstrate the concept. He worked at a computer company. And he suggested to change the outlook of their computer. At first half of the colleges agreed his idea but after the senior manager gave an opposite opinion, nobody insisted on the change except him. Because the college was afraid the disagreement with the senior manager would affect his promotion. In the end, the professor began to doubt his idea and voted against his own will. Finally, group’s unchanging decision was proved wrong. Tpo3 T4 sociology – cognitive dissonance Discomfort Contradictory Interpretation Minimize Cognitive dissonance is that when people’s actions are different from people’s beliefs, they feel uncomfortable about the contradiction then they would change the way they think instead of act to get an illusion they don’t have the problem. Professor gave a negative example about his contradiction between playing computer game and working hard in chemistry. At first, he believed if he wanted a good career, he should do well in every subject. But he was a game addict and his chemistry was very bad. Since he couldn’t stop playing games, he ended the conflict by changing the perspective: he didn’t need to be good at all the subjects but the ones relevant to his career. so he made himself believe bad performance in chemistry would influence his goal to be a sociologist.

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
新托福口语有许多新特性，就托福口语第一题是大家备考托福口语中的一个难点之一，在开始复习托福口语之前，跟随360教育集团金牌留学顾问老师先来了解一下托福口语第一题的四种题型分别是哪些。 第一类托福口语第一题： Describe the famous person you admire most. Explain why you admire this person. Include details and examples to support your response. （TOFEL ibt 08.06.22）这是一个对人描述类的考题，我们拿到一个新托福口语题目后，脑海中应该立刻浮现出最基本的答题框架：topic sentence + supporting ideas. Topic sentence是比较容易想的，甚至是可以虚构的，所以问题就落在supporting ideas的思路上。 描述一个人，最容易的角度便是这个人内在的qualities. 如：humorous， open-minded， easy-going，warm-hearted， community-minded， high driven， visionary， knowledgeable…有了这些点之后，我们要想办法把点变成线，也就是把一个观点扩充成一到两个句子。 我们可以用描述的方法去讲这个观点同意转换，如‘he’s a very open-minded person and he’s always flexible to changes. 同时我们还可以用举例的方法来进行扩展，如‘He’s a high-driven guy and he worked so hard on his Toefl test， study almost 24/7.’ 第二类托福口语第一题： Choose an object you like and explain why it is of special value to you. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation. （TOFEL ibt 08.02.24），这道托福口语题属于物品题，物品的题目也是一个常考点，但是准备的面比较广，可能会出成： a type of pet （Longman p.52），a kind of game （Longman p.72），your important gift （Longman p.64），咱们可以从两个角度去答题：对物品本身的简单描述+ 物品的来源或是重要意义，如描述宠物可以说：‘ coz he keeps me company， when I was sad， he was always by my side.’又如描述礼物可以说：‘ The psp was a gift from my Grandpa， it was a credit to my hard work on the SAT test.’ 第三类托福口语第一题： If you could live abroad， where would you go？ Explain why you would go there. （Longman p.42）。地方题目也是常考题型，变换方式相对较少，比如有：the city you live （Longman p.31），a city you have always wanted to go （TOFEL ibt 08.02.02），your favorite place when you were a child （TOFEL ibt 08.03.08）等等。地点题的答题思路为：景色，饮食，高雅休闲场所，教育，就业机会。 如果说美国，景色可以描述national park， the beauty of nature well preserved，饮食可以说dessert， I’ve got a sweet tooth，如说高雅休闲场所，可以说Broadway， or NBA games，教育可以谈美国的大学，就业机会可以谈美国的500 fortunes. 再比如如果讲苏州，景色可以说gardens，well preserved ancient building，就业机会可以讲讲苏州工业园，SIP，provides a lot of job and internship opportunities for graduates…
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

四种常见的托福口语题型 还没有做过托福口语练习的同学也许对托福口语题型不是很了解，口语总共有四大考试类型，每一题相互独立各不相同。在这四道题当中，同学们经常看见以前的考生说托福口语第三题比较难，是不是如此呢？编辑这就为大家做一个详尽的分析。 托福口语题型有哪几种？ 第1题、Independent task 1是Free Choice题，要求考生就某一常规话题用英语做45秒钟的陈述。考生对于这道题的准备应主要集中在people、place、object、event （人、地、物、事）这几个大方面。在教学的过程中，让考生扎实的准备OG、蓝Delta、TPO、真经与口语特训等教材里所出现的题目，尽管当考试时，出现的情况不是很多，但是在复习过程中准备过的具体内容在考场上的作用却非常大。比如“Describe the place you live in”与“Which city do you travel to most”、“Who is the person you admire most”与“Whom would you choose to visit for one hour”就可以相互借用大部分内容。 第2题、Independent task 2是Paired Choice题，也就是要求考生在提供的两个选择中选择自己喜欢的一个，并用details和examples支持自己的观点。如“If you could choose to live in the city or live in the country areas, which lifestyle would you prefer and why”，在教学过程中，应教学生迅速确定自己的立场，其余的按照Free Choice 的准备就可以了，同时比Free Choice更好的表述是考生可以采用“抨击”另一种观点的方式来准备details。但是，本题在某些时候以“Do you agree or disagree”或者“compare and contrast”的形式出现，对于后者而言，在教学中，应告诉考生不必表明自己的观点，只要陈述出两种选择的可比之处并加以诠释就可以了。 第3题、托福口语第三题是一道综合任务题，要求考生在45秒之内读完一则notice 或者announcement，然后听一段对话或者monologue（独白），在听力材料中，说话者

Besides, he is always the first one to point out my weakness directly. Thanks to his straightforwardness, I made quite a progress.
