托福口语task 1、2 练习题(1)

Task 1一、【人物类】about people1. What charactereristics do you think a good teacher should have? （06. 3.3; 07. 11.3考题）Sample answer：In my view, a good teacher should have different characteristics.First, a good teacher should be faithful and dedicated to the job. If a teacher is faithful to the job, then s/he never cheats and will be impartial（偏向）and students will respect such a teacher. If a teacher is dedicated towards his/her work, then s/he will teach with his/her heart.Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience.Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly. A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way.Most of all, a good teacher should update his/her knowledge ‗cause further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession.2. What are important characteristics you look for in friends?（06. 5.12; 06. 6.24; 07.1.27考题）Sample answer：I think what makes a good friend is someone who is honest, supportive, and has a good sense of humor. I just look for someone who's honest to me no matter what. He should not tell stories behind my back; he should tell me my short-comings at my mouth, but never praises me in front of me.It is a well known saying that "A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED." Therefore, a friend should stand by you in the hour of any sort of need. I just think that a good friend won''''''''t leave me if I'm in trouble. They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade, care for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great.Also, I'd love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around.3. Describe a person that influenced you most.（06. 5.26; 06. 3. 17；06.10.22考题；与06.5.26类似）Sample answer：The person that really influenced me most was Ms. Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature.Her class was quite different from the other teachers. In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen. We had to get more involved in the class activities, like discussions, comments or debates sometimes. Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation.On the other hand, she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly, she taught me how to live on my own. So that's why I was greatly influenced. Not only did she give me knowledge, but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.二、【物品类】about objects4. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.（05. 11.19考题）Sample answer：The book that I think is the most useful is OG, Official Guide for new TOEFL. I'm a book lover and have lots and lots of collections. But OG is of the greatest use ‗cause I'm taking TOEFL Test, which is a must for a student who is gonna finish his or her overseas study in America. Not only does it give the brief introduction of the test, but it also provides test candidates with practical tips. On the other hand, some basics of English language are offered following the main parts, which is very helpful for those who don't have a good command of English. Most of all, it helps me get well prepared for TOEFL iBT and improve my performance on the four skills as well. This definitely leads to the academic success in my future study. That's why I think OG is the most useful book for me.5. Which do you like to read, magazines, novels or poems? And why? （06. 2.3; 06. 10.28; 07. 1.6考题）Sample answer：I prefer magazines to fictions or poems, especially monthly magazines ‗cause they are like colorful flowers in a garden.They are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn't just stick to the same writers and trends. The presentation, theme, and subjects should vary to grab the interest of readers. And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas.I read five or six magazines per month and I buy two magazines regularly---fashion and beauty magazines, ‗cause they are worth readi ng for their entertainment news and fashion and beauty tips. Sometimes the personality profiles（个人档案/简介）of successful business icons（这里指―人物‖）are also fun to read.6. Describe the most efficient transportation in your country. （06. 4.8; 06. 12.15考题）Sample answer：The most effective means of transport, I'd say, is bicycle, an indispensable companion of most Chinese even though the private cars are on the rise. Each Chinese family possesses at least one bicycle and it is especially popular among college students. Compared with cars, bicycle still has some advantages. First, it is very convenient due to its small size. It does not need special parking space and can be parked almost everywhere. Second, driven by man power, it doesn't need fuel, so it has nothing to do with air pollution and energy crisis. Third, most people can afford a bicycle, but not a more advanced car. With so many advantages, bicycle will remain to be the most effective means of transport in China in the following years.7. Describe one of the most important inventions in the last 100 years. （06. 4.28; 07.3.10考题）Sample answer：Some people might think computer is one of the most important inventions in the last century. But I'd say television. Since the invention of TV, human history has started a new page. First, TV allows people to learn about what's going on in the world. With such information, they are able to get a better understanding of the world they live in. What's more, TV provides a lot of interesting programs that many people enjoy after a long day's work. Its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and more relaxed. Most important of all, Television has a great influence on the way people think and talk.8. If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do? （06. 7.29; 06. 11.18; 08.3.2考题）Sample answer：If I could freely choose any job, I would choose a job where I could do something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. Definitely it would be something helping people.Teaching of course is sort of that kind of job---- if you do it properly you can certainly help people. Traditionally in China teachers have been very respected; we have a saying a teacher for a day is a father for life.Nowadays, attitudes are changing, and perhaps people are more realistic. But my dream isn't changing. I wouldn't be helping them materially but I could give them a lot of pleasure and lighten their days.I love teaching and I want it to be my whole life's career because I feel I really am contributing something to people's lives, to help them.9. Talk about an composition that is important to you, ex: essay, poem, letter, and explain the reasons. （07. 3.23; 08.5.17考题）Sample answer：The most important letter that I can remember was a letter applying for a job. I had seen this job advertised in a local newspaper, the evening editon. It suited me very much and I was immediately attracted to it. It said to apply in writing, giving details of your experience, your education and when you were available，and you had to give the names and contacts of two references. I was qualified for the job and eager to get it.When I was finished writing I was pretty satisfied and a little pleased, posted it off to the address given and waited! Thankfully, before I sweated too much, I got a letter after a couple of days, saying they wanted me to come in for interview. I was very pleased to go for the interview and got the job, my first job!三、【地方类】about places10. Where do you like to go when you are with friends? And why? （06. 1.14; 06. 2.11考题）Sample answer：When I'm with friends, I like to go to the restaurant. We would head for some exotic (异国情调的，外国的)restaurant where we would choose our favorite dishes. And also, it should be one of the restaurants where the waitresses do not talk too much or disturb you. I would like to find a secluded（隐蔽的，角落里的）table just for 3 or 4, perhaps with a panoramic view（全景）over a river or the lights of the city. We would have some very mellow(醇香的), warming red wine in sparkling glasses twinkling in the candlelight, the hues（色调）and aroma（香味）filling our senses. We would eat slowly and carelessly for the joy of sharing and of being together. Our senses heightened, breathing deeply to the point of silent sighs, we would enjoy an endless evening there. That's the right place where I don't want to end our gathering.11. Describe a public area that you visit frequently. Please state why you visit it frequently and include specific examples and details in your explanation. （06. 1.21; 06. 11.17考题）Sample answer：I usually go to Beihai Park when I have the time and opportunity. I can go for a stroll in the park to relax. The park has some trees, and interesting and winding paths, where I can wander listlessly and contemplate my own thoughts or admire the various stages of nature. Sometimes I just like to feel the breeze on my face and savour（尽情享受）its coolness. It gives me a sense of freedom. It also has a lake on which I can go boating. I often go to the park with my friends on weekends. And we'll have a picnic if we stay there for the whole day.12. Describe a school you‘ve ever attended. （06. 9.23考题）Sample answer：The school I'd like to talk about is Beijing New Oriental School where I took my TOEFL course. What I like about the school is that I can meet almost the best teachers in the country. They are so talented, eloquent（有口才的）, knowledgeable and humorous that I don't feel any bored in class.A 2.5 -hour class passes very quickly. One more good thing about the school is that I can meet people from different parts of the country and make friends with them. We have a lot in common, sharing the same passion, the same stage, even the same learning difficulties which we encounter （遇到）and then discuss and finally work out together. Living on campus offers us much time to communicate and to share experiences.Actually there's a lot to say about my school, but the points above are what I mainly want to cover.13. Describe your favorite room either of your own house or in other places and explain why. （07.1.13; 07.9.12; 08.4.27考题）Sample answer：My favorite room is the living room. I like lots of open space and a sense of expansiveness, of freedom（宽敞和自由的感觉）. Also, it's a place where I can look around and not feel agitated（不安的）or confined（受限制的）. All different but natural colors have a such lovely warm effect that I would never get tired of it. Everything is in harmony----- large digital TV on the wall, glass-made tea table, beautiful plants, couch and sofa, a good book, a good wine. It gives me asense of satisfaction and away from hurly burly（喧嚣）. It is at times a place to contemplate and at times a place to share with friends.In a word, it is graceful, refined, comfortable and restful .14. Describe a place you have never been to but like to go someday. （07. 1.19考题；与2008. 2.2 类似）Sample answer：A place that I have always wanted to go but have never been to is America. Perhaps it's a bit corny, but as far as I'm concerned, America is a country, which is vast and open, a sort of freedom. It''''s also a place where if you work hard you will be successful.The second reason for me to go there is that I would like to visit some natural places like Grand Canyon, and Niagara Falls and some cities like NY, LA, SF, and Miami, where there is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.But most important of all,I would get my Master's in a different country if I had a chance. That country would be America, which has the most prestigious universities worldwide. Hence I can get the finest education. I guess that would be the biggest attraction for me, to discover myself in a different world and be successful.15.Describe a place for a trip. （07. 8.11考题; 与2007. 1.19，2008. 2. 2 类似）Sample answer：I would go to New Zealand for a trip if I had a chance. It's a lovely country, made up two islands. It is very lush（青葱的）and green because it rains a lot there. I would do a lot of different things and one thing I would definitely do is to swim with the dolphins. One of my friends ever did it, which she said was very interesting. At first, she was only brave enough to pat them and then she got braver and held on to one's fin while it took her for a swim. They moved very quickly and gracefully through the water and it was fascinating（棒极了）. So the place for a trip would be New Zealand!四、【事件类】about events16．Describe the most important decision that you've made in your life. Include reasons and examples to support your response. （05. 12.2; 07. 10.17考题）Sample answer：A particularly significant decision I've made in my life was that I came to work and live in Beijing.I had just finished my contract on a very decent job and I suppose I wanted freedom, or at least a long break. So I decided to come to Beijing even though I knew it is a challenging and demanding （要求苛刻的）city. But I still thought life was wonderful and the world was big.Besides, I was always a bit tempestuous（心潮澎湃的）and I liked to do things on the spur（鞭策）of the moment.Arriving in a new city was exhilarating. Just walking out of the station with a suitcase and two bags and with a dream of doing something for the Olympic Games, I felt I had arrived and I felt life was mine and I could make of it what I wanted.That summer, I realized again and saw clearer that life never ought to be boring, but on the contrary is full of adventure and challenge and is exciting, too.17. Describe a social or political celebration event in your culture. （05. 12.17; 2006. 2. 11考题, 2008. 2. 16考题）Sample answer：A type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising ceremony on National Day. Oceans of（表示―许多‖）people from all across the country come to Beijing the day before. They are very excited to see the ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been planting this dream in their mind for years. They arrive around 6:00 early in the morning, waiting for the special moment. I guess they are all overwhelmed（震撼的）and thrilled（激动）by the wonderful scene at the time. On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is fantastic, the guards all wearing the green military uniform and marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration of the great country always begin with such a solemn（庄严的）flag-raising ceremony, which strengthens the unity and motivation of its people.18.Describe an enjoyable event in your childhood. （06. 9.23; 06.11.21; 06. 12.1考题）Sample answer：An enjoyable event that took place in my childhood was when I first got my first dog--- Gus. I was ten and had been pestering（纠缠）my parents for a dog for years. One day I came home from school, my parents said they had a surprise for me and it was waiting for me in my room. I ran up to my room and threw open the door. I found a tiny puppy with a red bow around his neck at the foot of my bed. He was fast asleep. And for the rest of his life, he slept on the exact same spot at the end of my bed every night. That was a great happy event in my childhood.Task 2一、【教育类】about education21. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? Include details and examples to support your opinion. （05. 12.2; 07.10.17考题）Sample answer：Music and art should be important components（成分，科目）of the school curriculum（课程）because they have many uses besides recreation.To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with（接触）other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages, and physical education.Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys（传达）thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for（提供方法/途径）developing self-expression and creativity.On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value（具有巨大价值）. Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing. Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school.22. Do you think sports courses should be a required part of every school day? （06. 9.23; 06.11.3考题）Sample answer：From my point of view, sports courses form an essential part of children's education for many reasons.First of all, doing sports helps maintain the physical fitness of students. Movement coming from physical exertion during exercise promotes circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Thus, it results in vigor and stamina which help to prevent diseases and sickness.Moreover, exercise develops sportsmanship among students. When they play as a team, they are able to identify their role and worth to reach the same goal. It also helps enrich/promote/improve their friendship and personality.Therefore, I think sports courses should be mandatory （必修的）in school.23. Some students like classes where teachers lecture in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? （06. 10. 15考题）(中立)Sample answer：Both teaching and learning approaches are valuable and have relative merits.Classes dominated by teacher''''s lectures are full of enthusiasm which stimulates interest. Then the interested people tend to learn more. Also, lectures provide a faster, simpler method of presenting information to the students. They are particularly useful for students who read poorly or who are unable to organize the material. While on the other hand, tutorial allows students to participate in discussions which put them in an active role rather than a passive one. However, neither of them is universal. Therefore, I can hardly say that I prefer either approach; I think the choice shoulddepend on circumstances including the subject to learn, the depth to explore and the quality that the lecturer or the discussing group have.24. Do you agree or disagree that college students should do an internship before graduation? (07.5.18考题)Sample answer：I think it‘s a good idea for college students to do an internship before graduation.First, an internship provides practical work experience. It offers students a great opportunity to connect the classroom learning to the world outside.（理论与实践相结合）Also, this can help students either confirm a career choice or make a decision to choose a different path. And that would be an informed decision about whether they are interested in a particular career.Furthermore, students who have completed internships would find employment more quickly following graduation. And they are more likely to be employed within their fields of study, and are more satisfied in their jobs.Therefore, I agree that college students should do an internship before graduation.25. Do you agree or disagree that students will learn more when they have discussions?（07. 6.24考题）Sample answer：I agree that students should participate in discussions in class. Through two-way discussion, the teacher is able to know what are the difficult parts for the students and then easily help them solve the problems. Likewise, the students can have more opportunity to communicate with the teacher and report their difficulties in time. Thus, Both teaching and learning can be effective. Meanw hile, the students can get a better understanding of teamwork and thus enhance their friendship. Most of all, the interactive class can achieve a better and more harmonious study atmosphere. This, in turn, would promote the efficiency. That''''s why I think discussion in class is a good idea for students.26. Some people believe that students who want to go to university after graduation from high school should have about one year''''s time to get a job to obtain work experience or have a travel to enlarge their vision. Do you agree or disagree? What‘s your opinion?（07. 8.11考题）Sample answer：As far as I'm concerned, I think a gap year is a good idea for college students. Going away instead of directly going to university would provide them with a different and great experience. They would have the opportunity to see different things and know more about life. Taking a break from study is not only beneficial for their body, but also for their mind. It''''s like self–refreshment. After the break, they would be eager to return to college with a fresher outlook and clearer mind. Sometimes they may think more, connect their real world experience to their schoolwork and thus improve their efficiency.Somehow, students who take one year off either to work or to see the world, always wind up going back to school with more incentives（动力）to get more out of their education.So I think of taking one year off as a way of rejuvenating（使恢复，使更新）oneself.27. Some people choose a major that may gurantee a good job. Other people choose a major out oftheir personal interest in that area. Which do you think is a good idea and why? （06. 8.26; 07.3.3考题）Sample answer：These two aspects of choosing a major both have their merits, but I still think choosing a major out of personal interest is a better idea.To begin with, interest is the best teacher. Only when people show great interest in that particular area, they can do well in their academic career.In addition, interest leads to involvement and involvement leads to enthusiasm and more response, which is very important for a student who‘s pursuing a better future.What‘ s more, long-term success depends on performance out of vital interest. Interest in the subject encourages them to take an optimistic view-point and continued action to accomplish their goal. Even when facing tough problems, they are able to tackle them and move forward.In closing, I agree with the idea of interest being the most important consideration of choosing a subject.二、【科技类】about technology28. Do you agree or disagree that cell phone usage should be banned in some places? Include details and examples to support your opinion. （05. 12.3; 07.11.11考题, 与07.7.21类似）Sample answer：I strongly agree with the opinion that cell-phone usage should be banned in some places like concert halls, movie theaters or in some situations like when you are driving in cars or taking a subway, when you are in flight, in classes or meetings.For one thing, it has become social etiquette（礼节）. The cell phone user should know when and where to pick up the cell phone and talk. Though people have personal right to use their phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in（被卷入）the unnecessary disturbance（不必要的打扰）.For another, cellphone usage can harm a person's health. Brain cancer rates in the US have risen since cellphones were introduced, leading some people to wonder if cellphone usage is the reason for the increase.In recognition of those above, there should be some kind of regulations helping with this problem. This way people will be well aware.三、【媒体类】about media29. Where do you learn more from, media like newspapers, TV , Internet or people like friends, family and teachers? （05. 12.16; 06. 6.10考题）Sample answer：I think I learn more from people rather than media. I‘ll take my mother as an example. When life seems hopeless, she is always there to help me every step of the way and she maintains everything will be fine unless I myself give up. I‘m encouraged not only by her inspiring（令人鼓舞的）words but also by her action. By taking action, she has never been overwhelmed by pressure, adversity（困境）and even danger. Also when I feel blue（情绪低落）sometimes, I would turn to my classmates or friends for cheering up and comfort. While, media like TV or Internet canonly equip me with（以…武装）knowledge and information, they are incapable of giving me spiritual satisfaction（精神上的满足）. So I learn about life, how to stay strong more from people around me than from the media.四、【文化类】about culture30. Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why. （05. 12.17; 07. 9.29; 08.2.16考题）Sample answer：In my point of view, government should provide fund to build museums and theaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country.The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history and archaeology（考古学）, of natural history and even museums for such things as transport and crime! And because the museums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is always something different to see. Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of different regions. Even the world's best group come occasionally. Meanwhile, the building of the museums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchange between countries.They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national economy.That's why I think it's a good idea for government to help with the building of museums and theaters.31. Should a city try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and replace them with modern buildings? （07. 1.14考题）Sample answer：I think old buildings should be protected and maintained for the following reasons. First, old buildings carry a place's history, tradition, local custom and even some unique character. They were designed to be preserved as they were in early times. They serve as a mirror to remind modern people of their past that they should be proud of. Second, most old buildings are tourist attractions which interest visitors from all over the world. If they are damaged, they might go back with regret. In addition, tourism is always a big support to economy. Therefore, we should try to bring the funding into the budget to do whatever is necessary.32. Some people prefer to get information through printed materials like books. Other people like to do that via the Internet. which way do you prefer and why? (Which do you prefer, e-reading or traditional reading? )（06. 11.10, 07. 6.30, 07.10. 27考题）Sample answer：Some people prefer e-reading ‗cause it's fast and convenient. But in my opinion traditional reading is better for three reasons.First, paper reading doesn't have as much bad effect on our eyes as computer reading. Second, the printed word gives more comfort, enjoyment or personal touch than electronic text. I like the feeling of turning the page and taking notes on the book. Though computers are changing the reading habits, the long tradition of printed word may yet not be. Most people still read printedbooks, magazines and newspapers to get their information.Therefore, I prefer traditional reading to e-reading.五、【生活类】about life33. Some people prefer to eat out. Others prefer home cooked meals with their family. Which of these types of meal do you prefer? Use specific examples and details for your preference. （06.1.14考题）Sample answer：Some people prefer eating out at a restaurant because they can eat a variety of delicious food in restaurants. However, I think that preparing food and eating home would be better for 3 reasons. First, home-cooked meals are always cheaper and cleaner. I don''''''''t have to pay a lot for the food in a restaurant or worry about the sanitory standard.Second, eating home allows for a free choice of food because each person has a private taste. Third, eating at home is one of the best ways to enhance the relationship inside the family. A table is a good place where family members could talk about their happy day.To conclude, I prefer eating home to eating out.34. Do you agree that childhood is the happiest (or most precious) time in life? （07. 1.19, 08.2.2考题）Sample answer：Generally speaking, childhood years are the happy or precious time of one's life. However, it is hardly appropriate to say those years are the happiest or the most precious.It is a fact that childhood, as the earliest part of one's life, has less pressure, fewer worries and concerns than adulthood. The time, however, may not necessarily be happy, for there are various factors that are involved in happiness. It depends on the individual and the family s/he was born into. If a person had grown up in a healthy family, s/he would have had a happy time in his/her childhood years.In addition, the other stages of life are also as precious and happy as childhood because a person may have the happiest moment in every stage of his/her life if s/he is smart enough. Therefore, I disagree that childhood is the happiest (or most precious) time in life.六、【工作类】about job/career35. Someone focuses on one job throughout his life, others like to change from one job to the other. Which one do you think is better, why? （07.2.10, 07. 12.10考题）(中立)Sample answer：Most of people choose their jobs according to their own working perceptions（理解）, so their expectations for jobs are different.Each viewpoint has its advantages. For the former one, the constant job can provide people with stability, which will stimulate them to work harder. While, for the latter one, people will face more challenges and opportunity when jumping to another job.。

European historyTask1 – Which of the following classes would you like to take: 1) History of science 2) Art history 3) Science of the 20th Century?托福口语模板及参考答案：托福口语参考答案一:I would choose art history class. Coz first I like arts, and I think art classes help to cultivate our characters, and enhance our artistic taste, so we will be more sensitive to the beauty and evil in the world and able to appreciate world famous artworks in a better way; second, art can help us to unwind. I am a science student, majoring in biology, after 6-hour learning in math or doing experiments in the laboratory, I really want something for a diversion. An art class is what I need the most, which can also help to spark my imagination and push me to think in a different perspective.托福口语参考答案二:I think I would sign up for an art history class. In junior high and high school, I’ve learned quite a bit about science. It was simply mandatory. Although the class content was nothing close to historic events, the teachers in class always told us about the development in certain areas. On the other hand, art history class is brand new to me and I’ve always had interest in art. One time I audited in one class in my cousin’s university, the professor was talking about the influence of Roman art on modern designing. It was just fascinating. If I had such a chance like that, I would love to have a systematic study of art history.task 2Your friend is going to do a part time job.

Students can get valuable working experience and real world exposure, thus they can write this on their resume, and employers value this experience, consequently, it gives students a better shot to find a job in the future. However, there are some drags, it will cost students too much time and they will be too stressed out. You know, students have already been overwhelmed with a lot of assignment, like presentations, group project and sometimes they have to stay up late to cram for exams, and getting a part time job only makes them stressed out.托福口语范文二:Sample answerI personally would agree with his or her action. There are several reasons.To start with, working part-time will not only get you bills but also precious experience if you choose a right job to do. For example, I have a part-time job in my college working in a wood factory and I happened to major in business. During the work, I actually make sense of the currency flow by the theories I learnt back on campus while at the same time I could earn the money that is fairly enough for my food cost and supplement for working out.So as a result, I would definitely support with him or her to work part-time.托福口语范文三:Task 1参考答案:Well I think doing part-time jobs has the following advantages: first, it helps us to enlarge social circle, accumulate social experience and strike a balance between study and work, thus enhance our time management and multi-tasking skills;second, it helps us to become financially independent and be able to share financial burden of our parents. As for its disadvantages, I think safety concerns, and time or energy investment should be taken into consideration.T2: If the following two things overlap with each other, which would you prefer: dinner together with your family or attend your friends’ party on the weekend?TASK 2。

Most of my classmates only focus on reading or writing part, but ignore their spoken English. However, it’s what I pay great attention to. I deliberately go to English Corner, in order to practice my English with those foreigners, imitating their accent and intonation. Therefore, I can speak like a native now.Second, I prefer to study in a group, rather than depending on myself. Sometimes when I come across something confused, I would discuss it with my classmates. You know, everyone has a different opinion from others’. Therefore, at last we can always figure this problem out in a quick way.18. Please describe your goals in your life and why.Personally, I want to work as an international tourist guide for the following reasons. First, being an international tourist guide means I have to deal with foreigners, which is the best chance for me to practice my spoken English. From communicating with them, I can learn native accent and foreign cultures from them. At the same time, Ican introduce them with our Chinese traditions and beautiful sceneries and give them a deeper and better understanding about China.Second, leading foreign visitors to travel around is also wonderful opportunities for me to relax. You know, enjoying magnificent landscape all over the world can help me forget anything troublesome and have a peace of mind, release the pressure from my life.19. Describe an activity you and your family enjoy most.The activity that popular with my family is the basketball.First, whenever each family member is available, we would bring the ball to a park near to my house. You know why we all like to play basketball? We c an work in a team, cooperate with each other and have some fun. That’s a rar e and valuable chance to enhance our relationship.Second, it would be beneficial for our health. Last summer, my mother and I were both a little bit overweight, so we decided to lose weight by playing basketball. As a result, every morning we would play in the park. When the new semester began, we both lost 10kg! that’s why my family all prefer the basketball.20. Mystery, science fiction，biography, which type of book you dislike most and why?Personally, biography is the type of book that I dislike most.First, I am afraid that such books are full of brags and exaggerations, so that most of contents would convey fake impressions to readers. For example, some biography books would make up some brilliant experiences for the celebrity, which is a little bit disgusting.Second, biography books are boring and tedious without interesting plots or adventures. I prefer books depicting excited events or characters with charisma. Therefore, biography book can’t make me satisfied.21.Describe your favorite subject when you were in primary school. Explain why you like it. Include reasons and examples to support your response. Personally, my favorite subject was English in primary schoolFirst, my English teacher Daniel attracted my whole attention. He was humorous and encouraging, so that I never felt bored on his classes. His funny expressions and illustrations magically made all of students focus on him. I always got the highest school on English.Second, English itself was absolutely attractive and charming; especially I liked to talk with foreigner friends. There was a foreign boy lived in my neighbor, I always went to chat with him in English, which enabled me to imitate his accent and intonation. Therefore, English was my favorite course in my primary school22. Describe one way of life in your country has been changed and why it is beneficialPersonally, the way of life changed a lot in my country is the technology development, which benefits me so much.First, because of such development, laptops are becoming more and more popular with human beings, which are the best tool for us to communicate with each other. Just like my best friend Jason, he’s studying in America, which is far away from me.But with the computer, I can talk with him any time I want, it seems that we’re still close without separation.Second, such development introduces subway to us. You know, subway is the most efficient transportation in my country. Especially, there’re a lot of heavy traffic jams. So if I go to school by car , it gonna takes me more than one hour in rush hours, but if I take subway instead, which can avoid jams, only cost me 20 minutes. Therefore, subway saves me a lot time, I really like it.23. Describe a kind of music that you dislike most and whyPersonally, the music I dislike is the rock music.First, this kind of music drives me nuts. I prefer the light music, like classical music and blue, because it can help me calm down when I am anxious or angry. But rock music would worsen my feeling, so that I can’t express my negative emotions. Second, the reason why I dislike rock music mainly lie on the rock singers. Their dress-up are weird and sometimes scary. And the way they sing is too drastic to bear, so that their shows would never attract my attention.Therefore, I am afraid I can’t appreciate rock music.24. Your friend want to drop out of university or college , agree or disagree Yeah, I agree with his decision.First, not evey body likes to studying in university. Just like my best Jason, he is a very intelligent and talented boy. He has already learned through all of subjects that required in university by himself when he was a freshman. Therefore, it’s ok to quit from the university under such circumstance. What he needs is the practical experiences in society, rather than the knowledge in university.Second, if Jason was forced to remain in university, I am afraid it would do no good to his development. He has already set up his aims and targets, so that he has a clear realization that what he wants and what he ‘s dreaming of. Staying at university would restrict his ambitions and potentials, so that I support his decision without question. 25. Where would you like to live, Mountain, forest, beach, or desert? Personally speaking, the place I’d like to go much is the forest. I prefer it for the following reasons.First of all, the air in the forest is much fresher than that in the city. And I know doctors will suggest people to go there to breathe in more oxygen. I have a cousin, Jimmy, who used to have problems with his lungs and his doctor told him to go to the forest as much as he could. Now he is well again.Also, we can hike or even have picnics in the forest as long as we do not get lost. It must be such a nice experience to feel the breeze and watch the green trees sitting on the grass with your friends while you can enjoy your delicious food.Anyway I’d like to go the forest if I can.26. Describe your favorite room. Explain why you like this room most.My favorite room at my place is my bedroom.You see, out of my window, the blue sea is lying there. Every morning when I get up, I open the window to let the fresh sea breeze ventilates the room and enjoy the magnificent view.Also I can do homework and study more efficiently in my bedroom. Because it’s aprivate room, so I can focus on my study here without any distractions. Homework that I have to spend 2 hours in library only takes me 1 hour in my bedroom.27. In your opinion, What qualities should a leader have? Give specific reasons to support your opinion.Well, first of all, I think, a good leader should be encouraging enough.For example, I had a boss, Jason, who used to say, "You are a capable young man, I know you can do it well” whenever I was not confident enough with my job. With his encouragement I was so successful in my job and became a team leader in 6 months. Also, I believe a good leader should set good examples for all team-members. I remember my boss Jason used to work harder than any of us who were working with him in a team, even though he was the boss. We were so moved by what he did, and everybody followed his suit. So we were the most efficient team.28. When choosing a friend which of the following qualities you value most: honesty, loyalty, or sense of humor?In my point of view, I like to stay with an loyal friend. Loyalty means always being honest with their friends and staying right beside them when they fail down.I’d love to talk about Tom, we’d been good friends since we were kids. Once I was supposed to bring my lunch to school, Tom immediately took out his lunch and gave it to me.Besides he is always the first one to point out my weaknesses directly. Thanks for his straight forwardness, I made quite a progress. I really appreciate his loyalty and treat him like my lifelong friend.29 Which do you like to read, magazines, novels or poems? And why?I like reading novels better than magazine, poetry or anything else for the following reasons.First of all, novels are always interesting, taking Harry Potter as an example. Whenever I read it I can’t help but laughing all the time, releasing the pressure from my study and have a peace of mind.Also I believe this novel has opened a new world to me. The writer of Harry Potter Joanne Rowling is such a good writer that her imagination has broadened my horizon. Previously I knew very little about the world of wizards but now I have joined a group of Harry Potter fans with whom I can have lots of discussions about Harry Potter from time to time.30. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.I’m gonna talk about Harry PotterFirst of all, I have learned tons of vocabularies and sentence structures of English from it. Especially in the course of my preparation of TOEFL, I really use it as a helpful tool to review those complicated words.Also, sometimes I feel depressed and wanna give up, I turn to the story and gain some courage. Yeah, the hero in the story protected the people he loved and reached the final destination by great efforts.In addition, I get used to reading a chapter of Harry Potter before go to bed, and ithelps me to have a sweet night and be in a good mood.第二题第二题：： 1. Should the parents let their children practical course like cooking and personal financePersonally speaking, I think that parents shouldn’t let their kids do those items.First, their kids are busy on their school work, they have much homework and exams to prepare and review, even some of them can’t stop studying until midnight. So their parents shouldn’t increase their heavy burdens, making their schedule even unbearable.Second, such work may be dangerous for kids. Like cook, it is easy to cut themselves if they can’t be proficient in it. And kids are lack of self-controlling abilities, which means it’s hard for them to handle their finance. They may squander that money out within seconds.2. Parents are the best teachers. Do u agree or disagree with such statement and why.I totally agree with such statement for the following reasons.First, parents are the first persons I recognized since I was born, which means they are the only ones I can trust without hesitation. So I can accept the knowledge they teach entirely and effectively. But I always be skeptical to the things told by my teachers and friends.Second, my parents are much older than any of my friends, which means they are more experienced. Therefore, when I am on a tough spot and can’t figure out how to solve it, I always consult with my parents and they can give me valuable advices, more effective than those from my friends.3. Some students prefer short assignments, while others prefer long assignments, which one do you prefer.Personally, I prefer to take one or two big assignments for the following reasons.First, if I prefer many small assignments I gonna be busy preparing for them. Because of its frequency, I have no time to do something else, but have to make wellpreparations for them, which gonna drive me crazy. While big assignments will give me enough time to prepare, I am possible to get a higher score.Second, one or two big assignments help me put the knowledge I learnt as a whole. You know, the knowledge spread in some assignments are separated, it is hard for me to grasp a comprehensive knowledge.4. Somebody prefers to go to the same places in vacation, but others choose to go to different places and spend a little time at each place.Personally, I will prefer to go to different places and spend a little time at each place for the following reasons.First, you know, the time is so limited that I try to visit places as many as I can, which means I have no choice but setting up a busy travelling schedule. Because visiting different places will give me a chance to be exposed to different cultures.Second, travelling to different places will help me get acquaintances with differenttypes of people. I have known that Americans are enthusiastic, Japanese are humble and English are gentle. Dealing with such different people made me grasp more communicating skills.5. Some students prefer to take a essay question where they must write an essay to a question. Other students prefer to take a test with objective questions. Which type of exam questions do you prefer? Give reasons and examples in your explanation.Personally, I prefer to take essay questions for the following reasons.First, essay questions are easier for me than objective questions. Because you can express yourself completely in the exam, which means it’s easier to come up with alot of good ideas to write the paper.Second, you may possibly to get a higher score on essay. Because no strict grading standard to judge your answer. As long as you fully develop your points of view, you don’t worry the result. But if you make a wrong choice in your objective questions, your score gonna be poor.6. U prefer to watch news everyday or occasionally.Personally, I prefer to watch news occasionally for the following reasons.First, you know, as a high school student, I have a lot of homework and exams to deal with, which drive me crazy! I can’t finish my study schedule every day until midnight, so I have no spare time to pay attention to the news and events.Second, some news and events have nothing to do with me, so I don’t care. As a student, what I should focus on is the things only related to the subjects I learn. Others, just like political news, economic news and some entertainment stuff, are unnecessary for me. Why I waste my limited time to watch!So I have no choice but preferring the second statement.7. You prefer to face challenge all by yourself or depend on other people’s help. Personally, I prefer to face challenge depending on other people’s help.First, you know, as a child who is 16 years old, I have no much many experiences as my parents do. when I come across some difficult and can’t figure out by myself. I always turn to my parents because each time they gonna give me valuable suggestions and advices to solve the problem more effectively.Second, discussing problems with others can increase my communication skills as well. Because some challenges needs the team work. So during this period, I learn that how to share ideas with others, how to exchange information and how to deal with different opinions from yours. So such experiences gonna help me a lot.8. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should learn to draw or paint. Use specific reasons to support your answer.Personally speaking, I agree with such statement for the following reasons.First, learning drawing or painting will enable us to release pressure from our intensive study. You know, in the whole day, what we are doing is to listening to teachers, doing our homework and preparing for exams, which almost drive us crazy. So when we are tired of studying, we can turn to learn something different. By painting a picture, we can relax ourselves mentally and have a peace of mind. Second, learning drawing or painting also can broaden our horizons and enrich our。
