Tpo 1T4 business management –groupthinkAttemptConformConsensusDelayInevitableUltimatelyGroupthink 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.Tpo3T4 sociology – cognitive dissonanceDiscomfortContradictoryInterpretationMinimizeCognitive 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.Tpo4T4 psychology - verbal and nonverbal communicationUtterUnconsciouslyEnhanceConvincingContortSmashProfessor demonstrates two examples in his family to explain the relation with communication –verbal and nonverbal and the effects. First example is that when his uncle gave him a surprise visit, he greeted him with both warm words and hearty laugh. His eyes were broad and broke into a big laugh and jumped up and down like a boy. Those facial express emphasized the information he wanted to deliver. Second example is that his thumb was hurt by a hammer when he taught his daughter how to use hammer and nails. Although he was very painful, he didn’t want to scare his daughter so he kept saying he was ok but his body language betrayed his true feeling: shaking hand, trembling voice.Tpo5T4 marketing -- Target marketingAdvertiserTrendEffectivePotentialTarget marketing is to make special commercial to a certain group of customers. That s an effective way to transfer the information and stimulate customers to buy the product. The example given by professor is about cell phone commercial. Company made different commercials for different customers. For young people, the commercial was put during the pop music show usually for kids. It presented more features about color, time with friends. For business people, commercial was showed more its business features like dealing with many things in an efficient way and saving money. Actually they are the same cell phone.Tpo 6T4 psychology – explicit memories and implicit memoriesIntentionalRecollectionDeclareProfessor gave two examples to explain two kinds of memories. Explicit memory is that people memorize something consciously like what they eat for dinner. Implicit memory is that people record something unconsciously in mind but they don’t realize the memorizing action. For example, few people could remember the huge AD of Panther car on the billboard which they see on the highway when they drive by it. But when they are asked to name an animal starting with the letter P, many people would say panther rather than the most common animal Pig.Tpo 7T4 psychology -- behavior modificationConsequenceDiscourageSettingsProfessor gave an example about kids to explain the relation between behavior modification and consequence. When kids first go to school, they don’t get used to the rules and often misbehave in general like interfere the teacher, walk around when they re supposed to sit. Well, in this case, they may get punished from the teacher and the kids surely don’t like it. in opposite, if they behave well, like sitting quietly, raising hand, they may get rewarded and other good reaction from teacher. Then the kids learn how to avoid punishment by doing this or to get reward by doing that. They could change the behavior they used to have.Tpo 8T4 biology – revealing colorationPredatorStartlePreyDisplayRevealing coloration is a method the animals use bright area on their body to escape from predators. Professor gives two examples to explain the concept. Peanut bug hides its bright colorful spot on the back wing. When getting attacked, it will suddenly show the bright part to surprise the predatory and use the chance to get away. Morpho butterfly has a shining part on its wings which would reflect the sunlight. it hides the part when it is resting. When the predator approaches, it would widen the wing and show the shining part. The light reflecting makes it hard to pursue the prey.Tpo 9T4 film -- the establishing shotContextEstablishing shot is one way to introduce the background of the movie. Through it, audience would figure out when and where the story is going to happen and which mood and feeling re in it. Professor gave an example about the movie he thought great. The image provides some information like location –in an out of date building in a big city and period –1940 and the gloomy style which implies something dark and mysterious. Before the story begins, the audience could get a general idea about the movie’s genre.T4 Marketing -- entertainment merchandisingReverseEntertainment merchandising is a form of marketing. It means to use the successful brand to influence the market of a new product. Professor gives 2 examples to demonstrate the concept. When he was young, his friends and he were big fans of an animation character – action hero. Because of the show, the action hero figure already has a lot potential customers. Conversely, his 7 year old daughter likes a baby doll, rosa. Then a new tv show with rosa as the main character will be very popular among the children who have one.Tpo 11T4 Art history -- outsider artProfessor gives an example to explain the outsider art. An artist lives in a tiny apartment, draws alone and privately. He hasn’t received any formal education about painting so he has very unique way to make people remember his own style. Instead of drawing the people’s figure himself, he cut off the figure from newspaper or magazine and paste them on his painting. Another difference is that the painting is fully filled with more complicated details. And the sizing of the painting is usually twice than the traditional art one.Tpo 12T4 psychology -- subliminal perceptionConstantlyPerceiveAuditoryStimulithresholdprofessor explains a concept –subliminal perception in psychology class by presenting an experiment. Well, two groups of people are demanded to watch tv. Meanwhile they are given unconsciously and quickly three pictures during the show. First, both teams see a same picture of a boy with a birthday cake. Then each team has the different picture: one is the happy boy, another is the angry boy. then, two groups have to give comments about the personality about the boy according to the last same pic of the boy with natural expression and none of them notice that they ve seen the boy before. But two teams give exactly the positive and negative opinion which matches the second pics.Tpo 13T4 perceptual constancyPerceptual constancy means that our perception about familiar objects is unchangeable even if they are viewed in different conditions. Professor explains the concept by giving two examples: one is the plate in different position. When we hold the plate in front of us, its shape is a perfectcircle, while we put it on the table in a horizontal angle, it changes to an oval. No matter how it s put, we still consider the plate is round. Another one is professor in different distance. When the professor stands far away from us, it looks that he gets smaller. Conversely, when he walks towards us, professor gets bigger. However, wherever he stands, we know that he is the professor.Tpo 14T4 comfort zone biasRefer toProfessor presents a story of his friend’s career choice to explain the concept – comfort zone bias. People get used to stay in a stable position instead of taking risk. His friend wanted to be a film reviewer after graduation. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find a job as film reviewer but news reporter. Gradually he found himself really good at news reporter and has worked for a longtime. Later, the film reviewer in his company quit, he was offered to do this job but he refused due to the comfort zone he has been. He wouldn’t risk to take the challenge.Tpo 15T4 psychology -- experimenter effectAccurateOutcomeTherebyInvalidateExperimenter effect means the attitude and expectation of the experimenter would affect the outcome of the experiment. Professor gives an example about monkey training. The researcher is asked to train the monkeys to pick up ball and put it into box. There re two groups of monkeys. The researcher is told one group of monkeys is highly intelligent; the other is less smart. In fact, two groups are similar intelligent. Well, the result turns out that researcher spends less time with the supposed smarter group than with the supposed less smart group. Because he thinks the smarter group is easier to train and then he smiles to them a lot and talked to them, encourages them and communicates with them.Tpo 16T4 psychology -- social loafingOutputDeliberateIn groupOn one’s ownSocial loafing is that people are not willing to contribute in group work as much as in an individual mission. Professor illustrates the concept with a study of pilling potatoes. Two groups of people are demanded to pill the potatoes. One group is told that the number potatoes will berecorded per person. While another group is told that the record would be counted in total which means result of each person wouldn’t be recorded. Then the researcher studies the average number per person of each group. It turns out that the result in group work is significant fewer than in individual work.Tpo 17T4 sociology -- ritualizationRitualizationDog threaten show the teeth stay awayA long bite baring the teethOver time come to signal keep awayDefenseNeed a right communication be warning signalThe concept ritualization is about the development of a behavior from a practical act to a form of communication. Here is an example about the dog’ baring teeth. A long long time age, when dog feel threaten by other dogs or animals, it is going to bite the others. Well before it bites, it will first bare its teeth. Over time, the animals find this process and take it as a signal to keep away. And dog also knows without real bite, it can get the right result. Then dog will show the teeth to warn other animals to stay away as a communication signal.Tpo 18T4 biology -- relict behaviorVanishHabitatRelict behavior means that the old behavior or characteristic of the animals remains even if the habitats are changed. Professor presents an example of American prown, a dearlike animal, lives on grass plaint in the middle of north America. Prown is the fastest animal in northern hemisphere. No predator hopes to catch up with it. The reason why it run so fast is because tens thousands of years ago, there are lions on plaints which chase and prey prown and move very swiftly, much faster than other predators. Now lions in north America extinct. But prown keeps its fast speed that is critical to its survival at that moment.Tpo 19T4 social learningFamilyprofessor gives a common example in family to illustrate the concept of social learning which means to learn or not to learn some behavior by observing the consequent led by the act. Here s the story. A 7 year old sis and a 4 year old boy go shopping with their mother, the girl wants a toy and she cries and screams to ask the mother to buy her one. Finally mother gives in and buy her the toy. The younger brother sees what happened and he might do the same thing when he wants something from mother. In opposite, if mother ignore the crying and screaming girl and even gives her some punishment back home, the boy probably will avoid doing the same thing.Tpo 20T4 business management -- franchisingProfessor gives an example of pizza town to demonstrate the definition of franchising. he wants to start a pizza restaurant. Knowing the risk to start a new business, he decided to use a known thing, There is a pizza restaurant in chain named pizza town. Then he pays the pizza town for the right to use the name, to get the training to make the pizza exactly like pizza town. That’s franchising. Instead, he has to decorate the restaurant in the same way as pizza town is, the color, the style. But that’s great, because pizza town runs well in general and their pizza sells.Tpo 21T4 questioning awareness of effectProfessor talked about a way to stop student’s disruptive behavior in the class –questioning awareness of effect. He gives an example about a student Sara in his class. He asked students to raise hands when they wanted to answer the question. however, as other student put hands in the air, sara just called on the answer without raising hand. That mad others frustrated. Professor told her directly her behavior was not fair for other students. Then without waiting for the reaction, professor continued to teach. From then on, each time, sara wanted to answer the question, she just raised hands like others.。

今天给大家带来了托福综合口语TASK2-4题型要点解读和高效答题策略分享,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
托福综合口语TASK2-4题型要点解读和高效答题策略分享托福综合口语基本题型解读托福综合口语是从第2到第4题的部分。
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。
托福综合口语TASK2详解分析第2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。
托福综合口语TASK3细节指点第3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,听力内容肯定跟着阅读内容走,而且思路都是一样的,因此读细阅读对听力的理解相当有帮助,就如Animal Domestication 这道经典题作为例子,阅读中谈到了三个话题:有些动物不容易被驯养,动物是否容易被驯养和它的territory(T)有关,动物是否容易被驯养和它的social structure(S)有关。
因此就光看阅读,我们可以揣测出既然是动物的驯化,“动物”一定是听力中的例子,结合阅读的第一个话题,有些动物不容易被驯养,那么有些动物就容易被驯养,可以模拟出如果找例子,一般而言肯定是两类动物,一个容易,一个不容易。
再结合阅读中第二个及第三个话题,可以揣测出是否容易被驯养和分别和这类动物的T 和S 有关,从阅读中我们可以了解到“没有T,有S”更容易被驯养,那么听力中我们要去寻找的就是作者是如何用例子阐述某类动物是“没有T,有S”或“有T,没有S”的。
Limit Borrowing Period for Library BooksCurrently,students are permitted to borrow library books and take them home for one month before they have to return them.l think the university library should limit the borrowing period to two weeks.First of all,l think most students will agree that they do not need a whole month to read a book-two weeks is enough time.Plus students who are waiting for a book to be returned so they can use it won't have to wait as long as they do now.This way they won't fall behind with their assignments.Sincerely.Mark Jones听力文本:Now,listen to two students discussing the letter.M:Did you read this letter?F:Yes.M:He makes some good points.F:You think so?I don't agree with him.M:Why not?F:Well,to begin with,he's not thinking about how students actually use the books.M:What do you mean?F:Well,if you're using it to write a paper,even if it's possible to read the book quickly,you still need to hold on to it for reference.Like,say,you're working on a research paper.Over the course of a month,you may need to go back and refer to things in the book to figure out what you're gonna use in the paper.M:I guess that's true.It can take time if you're using it for research.F:Yeah,there's a whole process involved.And I don't like his other reason either.M:But sometimes students really need a book for an assignment and they can't wait.TPO74口语Task1Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Teenagers cause many problems for their e specific examples and details to support your opinion.Task2阅读部分:Task3阅读内容:ExaptationThe physical features of an animal's body usually serve a specific purpose-they function to increase the animal's chances of survival.But over time in response to a particular challenge in its environment an animal species will sometimes use one of its existing features for a new purpose.This is known as exaptation.By finding another use for one of its physical features exaptation allows animals to respond to additional challenges in their environment.The animal may continue to use the physical feature for its older purpose while also using it for the new purpose.听力文本:Now listen to part of a lecture from a biology class.So,okay,let me tell you about a great example of this.There's a bird,a type of heron that lives near rivers and marshes in Africa.Now this heron is a waiting bird.It spends most of its time walking around in shallow water.And during the day,it eats the fish that swim in the rivers and marshes.The trouble is though it can be pretty hard to see the fish with the sun shining on the water,because the sunlight creates a lot of glare and reflections,making it tough to see fish swimming below the surface.But over time,this species of heron has found a cool solution involving the use of its wings.Like most birds,the heron uses its wings for flying.But what happened is at some point in the past,the heron also started using its wings to block the sun,to create shade when it's looking for fish.It does this by putting its wings above its head and holding them there.While it looks down into the water,with its back to the sun and its wings above its head.The F:That's true.But if students can't wait for a book,there's another way they can get it.They can order it from another library in the State University library system.It's called an inter library loan.M:How do you do that?F:Well,for an inter library loan,students can just go to the library and at our library and fill out a form.They put down the title and author of the book they want,and then our librarian finds it at another school's library,then that library sends it to ours.It only takes a few days.题目:The woman expresses her opinion about the letter writer's proposal.Briefly summarize the proposal.Then state the woman's opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.wings form a kind of canopy or umbrella that blocks the sun and eliminate the glare on the water.So the heron is able to see the fish much better.题目:Explain how the example of the heron illustrates exaptation.Task4听力文本:Listen to part of a lecture in a business class.As you know,these days,people are becoming more and more conscious of how important it is to protect our natural environment,of how important it is to protect the atmosphere,the oceans,the soil,and so on.And so more and more companies have now implemented environmentally friendly business practices.That is they're running their businesses in ways that help protect the environment.For example,by conserving energy and preserving natural resources.And for business owners,there's some good news here.And that is that environmentally friendly business practices not only benefit the environment,but they can also benefit the businesses themselves,and they can do that in a couple of different ways.First,environmentally friendly practices can help businesses save money by reducing their operating costs by reducing the cost of running their business. For example,there's a coffee shop here in town and a couple of years ago, they decided they wanted to do something to help protect the environment. So they made a commitment to reduce their energy use.And so one thing they did was they changed the kind of light bulbs they were using.They replaced their regular light bulbs with special light bulbs that use less energy and last longer.So that was good for the environment and it was good for the coffee shop,because it's significantly reduced the amount of money they were spending on electricity each month.Environmentally friendly practices can also help businesses by making them more attractive to certain consumers.Because if a business helps protect the environment,consumers who are concerned about the environment are more likely to feel positive about that business and are more likely to spend money there.For example,uh,the coffee shop I was talking about,another thing they changed was they changed the kind of napkins and paper cups they were using.They began to use only napkins and cups made from recycled paper, because the new napkins and cups were manufactured from old,recycled paper.No one had to cut down any new trees to produce them.And so the coffee shop was helping to protect the environment.And the coffee shop then wisely started mentioning that in their advertising,and they starteddrawing more customers who were concerned about protecting the environment.题目:Using points and examples from the lecture,describe two ways that environmentally friendly business practices can benefit businesses.。

托福TPO2口语Task4阅读文本: Social Interaction People deal with each other every day. This interaction is at the heart of social life. The study of social interaction is concerned with the influence people have over one another's behavior. People take each other into account in their daily behavior and in fact, the very presence of others can affect behavior. For example, one principle of social interaction, audience effects, suggests that individuals' work is affected by their knowledge that they are visible to others, that the presence of others tends to alter the way people behave or perform an activity. 托福TPO2口语Task4听力文本: Okay, so we said that the way we interact others has an impact on our behavior. In fact, there is some interesting research to suggest that in one type of interaction, when we are being observed, specifically, when we know we are being watched as we performed some activity, we tend to increase the speed at which we perform that activity. In one study, college students were asked to each put on a pair of shoes, shoes with laces they would have to tie. Now, one group of students was told that they would be observed. The second group, however, didn't know they were being observed. The students who were aware that they were being watched, actually tied their shoes much faster than the students who thought they were alone. Other studies confirm the same is true, even when we are learning new activities. Let's say someone is learning a new task, for example, learning how to type. When they are conscious of being observed, they'11 likely begin typing at a much faster rate than they would if they were alone. But and this is interesting, the study also showed that certain common behavior, things people typically do like making mistakes when you're learning something new. That behavior pattern will also increase. So in other words, when we are learning to type, and we know we are being watched, we all type faster but we 'II also make more mistakes. 托福TPO2口语Task4题目: Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle of audience effects. 托福TPO2口语Task4满分范文: Audience effects suggest that with the knowledge that they're being watched while working, people usually alter their behavior during their work. And the professorillustrates the principle with two studies that suggest this. In the first study, two groups of students were asked to put on shoes that they had to tie, one group being told later that they would be observed, while the other group being kept in dark. So when the researchers began to observe, they found that the group aware of the observation tied faster than the other group. This study shows how audience effects speed up people's action. While the second study suggests that when people are learning new things, with the awareness of being observed, they will not only accelerate, but also increase certain behavior pattern. For instance, when they learn to type, they'll type faster, but meanwhile make more mistakes. (141 words) 以上是给大家整理的托福TPO2口语Task4阅读文本+听力文本+题目+满分范文,希望对你有所帮助!。
TPO全54套+ 4套extra practice独立口语答案示例TPO 11.Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason. Explain whythe book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.I would like to talk about the book called the Five People You Meet in Heaven. The book mainly talks about a story of a dead guy. After he went to heaven, he met five people, who he thought was perfect strangers and didn’t have any relationship with each other. However, it turned out that the events that had happened on these people were all connected in some way, which finally led to his death. The story is quite thought-provoking, at least for me. I believe that the little things that happen in our daily life are not isolated, but connected in some subtle manner. Now I am never easily frustrated by setbacks in my life since I know that the so-called “bad things” may eventually lead to a great ending.2.Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Othersbelieve that it has had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why?Use details and examples to explain your opinion.Generally speaking, I believe that the benefits brought about by TV far outweigh the negative consequences. It has permeated into our daily life for such a long time that watching TV together has become a way to strengthen the bond within the family. Every night after meal, the family members would sit in front of the TV, watching shows while chatting about the things that happen during the day. It doesn’t matter which programs are on, as long as everyone is present. Besides, TV provides a relief zone for most of us. Sometimes my parents feel stressed out after a whole day’s work, and I also have to deal with endless assignments. Watching TV lets us relax and unwind.TPO 21.Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important.Please use specific details in your explanation.In spare time, I often go to a book store called Librairie Avant-Garde. It is probably one of the most popular stores in my hometown, especially since the New York Times listed it as the most beautiful book store in Nanjing. I like there because it is my relief zone. The atmosphere is quite refreshing. I enjoy reading under the golden dim light with the rich aroma of coffee around and soft melody in the air. Even simply sitting there enables me to get away from all the troubles. Besides, I’ve met many amazing people there, who have similar interests with me. Sometimes we discuss about the books. We are particularly fond of books about traveling and even plan to have a self-organized trip together. Isn’t it wonderful?2.Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to geta broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have adeeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?I prefer to take a variety of courses in different areas. I’m curious about everything which is strange to me and more than willing to take courses about them. I don’t need much professional information, just some introduction to various areas so that I would know which fields deserve my further attention. I’ve taken a broad range of courses in school, such as literature, history, psychology, to name a few. I’m surprised to realize that I’m quite talented in many of them and have decided to deepen my understanding in relevant fields. Besides, I don’t like focusing on one single subject. Even though I may become an expert in that area, I would be rather poor in others and that lets me feel insecure.TPO 31.What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Explain why thesecharacteristics are important to you.First of all, a good parent needs to respect me, like, never compare me with others since this would hurt my feelings. I’ve watched some parents doing this in front of me, and the poor kids seemed rather embarrassed. What’s more, I hope they would stand in my shoes, especially when I don’t do a good job. We have lots of exams at school and sometimes I fail them. I’m quite lucky in that my parents are not those people who just focus on the results and scold kids for poor scores. Rather, they care more about the efforts I’ve paid and how much progress I’ve made. And during those hard times, we would discuss my situation together, trying to figure out the problems I face. That’s what wonderful parents are like.2.Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it isbetter to work in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I prefer to join a study group when working on assignments. I have to admit that I’m not self-motivated. When left alone, I often find myself distracted by snacks, music or computer games.I mean, it’s as if those things were calling out to me. In contrast, in a study group, I’d focus on the assignments since when everyone else is studying, I cannot be the only one goofing around. Besides, the whole group can do some brain-storming, which boosts efficiency. You know, we put our heads together, and each one contributes some inspiring thoughts. Of course, I could finish the tasks on my own; but I may see only part of the picture. Working in a group allows us to get a more comprehensive idea.TPO41.What do you miss most about your home when you are away? Use specific details inyour explanation.I miss my ukulele most when I’m away from home.It’s a gift I bought for myself. Actually, I’ve always wanted to learn Guitar, but since it’s too big for me, I had to drop the idea. And the whole thing came to a dead–end until I saw a ukulele. It’s small and only has four strings, which makes it relatively easier to learn. I’ve played it every day since I got it home and after a year all so, I could play it without thinking. Once I traveled abroad for half a month, during which I had to endure the separation with it. It was like part of my life was missing. Although I had a great time there, I was pretty sure it would have been even better if I had had my ukulele at hand. I’d like to bring it wherever I go in the future.2.Many universities now offer academic courses over the Internet. However, some peoplestill prefer learning in traditional classrooms. Which do you think is better? Explain why. I’m all for traditional classrooms. It is true that on-line courses have made it convenient for us to take various courses offered at home and abroad, but they cannot provide the learning atmosphere. When studying in the classroom, I have my classmates and professor around. If I have any questions, I simply raise my hand and speak them out. Then we would discuss about it. All these activities, which are absent from on-line courses, help to deepen our understanding. Besides, I don’t think the on-line communication can replace face-to-face conversation. When talking in person, we use body language to better illustrate our points, which also offers the feeling of personal connection. And I think the learning process would be more efficient if it takes place in such a manner.TPO51.Talk about a place you enjoyed going to or visiting when you were a child. Describe theplace. Explain why you enjoyed it.When I was a kid, I liked going to the shopping center in the downtown with my parents. At that t ime, I didn’t know anything about picking up clothes or haggling with the sales person and a ll I did was following my parents’ steps and singing or mumbling about something. Yet the sales person seemed to like me a lot. They usually smiled at me or even went out from their store to give me candies. I always went back home with several candies in the hand. I guess you can see why I liked that place. Moreover, the shopping center had one whole floor devoted to toys. There are toy cars, transformers, dolls, you name it. And there was a little food-stand in the corner where I could get spun sugar. The center was my paradise back then.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is more important to study math or science than it is to study art or literature. Well, I don’t think learning math or science is more important than learning art or literature. Art and literature are important, both for our society and the individuals. For example, the Palace museum, which houses countless art works, attracts thousands of tourists every day, which helps to boost the economy. And people usually get refreshed after appreciating art works. Besides, I don’t think it’s reasonable to compare the importance of courses in this way. What I mean is, courses such as science and art are all critical to students. Everyone has his own gift and we need to put our talents into full play, no matter in which field. Even if we are not art material, it doesn’t mean that we should not learn it since the courses can introduce us to another world and it’s always good to expand our vision.TPO61.Talk about a photograph or painting you have seen that was memorable. Explain whatyou liked or disliked about it.The painting that impresses me the most is Mona Lisa. And I’m not talking about how amazing her smile is. I saw it first in the textbook of my primary school. To tell you the truth, the smile scared me. I didn’t know why but as a kid, I tried to avoid eye contact with the woman in the painting. Now several years have passed yet I still feel strange whenever I see it. However, I do not want to deny the wonderfulness of that painting. For me, the most interesting thing is the controversy it has raised. People keep wondering about the background of the woman, some say she iss a merchant’s wife, others believe that she is actually Da Vinci himself. Recently, rumor has it that she is a slave from China. I’m often a ttracted to this kind of mysteries.2.Some people have one career throughout their lives. Other people do different kinds ofwork at different points in their lives. Which do you think is better? Explain why.I prefer to commit to one career all my life. I believe that anything worth doing worth doing well. And once I start my career, I want to reach the top, which may take decades but it’s worth it. Yet if I try different kinds of work, I may only scratch the surface. My older sister works in the Public Relation field. At first, she thought that the work was quite exciting since she got to meet many celebrities; then she realized that it was also challenging as she had to stay up late trying to come up with some novel ideas and prepare for presentations. In fact, her understanding of the PR field deepens as time goes by and till today, after more than ten years working there, she still believes that there are lots of things she could learn. I enjoy this feeling. It’s like peeling the onion and trying to see the core. It’s exciting.TPO71.If friends from another country were going to spend time in your country, what city orplace would you suggest they visit?I would recommend my hometown, Nanjing, which is the capital of thirteen dynasties in history. It offers a rich historical atmosphere. Tourists usually visit such places as the Confucius Temple or the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Of course, these time-honored places are wonderful, yet I prefer the city walls from the Ming Dynasty, which is over 600 years old and tells much about the history over the years. Besides, the local delicacy is ama zing. I’m not a hardcore foodie but still cannot resist the mouth-watering snacks such as noodle salad, the rice pudding with eight treasures, and the famous duck soup, which is considered a must-try for any tourists from home and abroad. In my mind, Nanjing is a place that embraces various elements in a harmonious manner. It has something for everybody. I’m sure people would have a great time here.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Learning through online courses is more effective than learning in the traditional classroom setting.I don’t think online courses are more effective than traditional ones. It is true that on-line courses have made it convenient for us to take various courses at home and abroad, but they cannot provide a proper learning atmosphere. When studying in classrooms, I have my classmates and professor around. If I have any questions, I’d simply raise my hand and speak them out, then my classmates and professors would discuss about it or have a little debate. All these activities, which are absent from on-line courses, help deepen our understanding. Besides, I don’t think the on-line communication can replace face-to-face conversation. When talking in person, we could see each other’s facial expression, hear their voice. It’s just more natural. Of course I can chat with others on line, b ut the feeling is different and I don’t like taking courses in this way.TPO81.Describe about a time a friend or a family member helped you in the past. Describe howthe person helped you then explain why this was important to you.During my first two years in the university, I got into depression because of some family issues. Those were really hard times since I lost interest in almost everything and felt down in the dumps day and night. Fortunately, I still had the willingness to pull myself together. Since I couldn’t fight this battle on my own, I turned to a friend for help. She called me every day, chatting with me. When I locked myself at home, she would come to my place and dragged me out for she believed that outdoor activities would do good to me. Gradually, I came out of the isolation and we somehow developed an interest in playing ukulele. It was not that difficult but still need our focus; also, puzzles worked well for me since it would fully occupied my attention. After nearly half a year, I cracked the depression and were once again able to enjoy things happening around me. Looking back, I feel deeply grateful to that girl. Had it not been for her company, I would not have bounced back.2.Some people enjoy taking risk and trying new things, others are not adventurous, theyare cautious and try to avoid danger. Which behavior do you think is better? Explain why.I prefer to take risks since it would introduce me to some new things, which may turn out to be pretty interesting. On the contrary, if I always choose the conservative way, I may miss out on many amazing experience. Once when hiking in a mountain, I came to a cross road. Normally I would take the left path but on that day, I was caught by a whim and picked the right one, which was totally strange to me. On the way, I met a bunch of people. We hit it off immediately and ended up having a BBQ on the mountain top. That was wonderful. Besides, taking risks makes me feel excited, like an adventurous explorer, and even if I fail in the end, I won’t feel regretful or frustrated since it’s my first time and rookie mistakes are inevitable.TPO91.Talk about an important experience that you recently had. Describe what happened andexplain why it was important to you.Last Saturday, I happened to read an article on the Internet, summoning the public to donate clothes to kids living in the mountain area. It was quite a coincidence since the other day when I was sorting my stuff at home, I found out lots of outgrown clothes, which were still in good condition. The article has given me an inspiration. First, I re-posted the article. Then, I assembled several friends to do a presentation in our class, during which we asked our classmates to not only give out their clean clothes and stationary but also engage the efforts of people around them. In this way, we have called on collective efforts to help those poor kids. That experience means a lot to me for it’s the first time that I organized an activity to do something for others. I feel proud of myself.2.Some people think that family members are the most important influence on youngadults; others believe that friends are the most important influence. Which do you agree with? Explain why.From my perspective, family members have more influence on young adults than friends do. Since we spend most of our time together, families have a subtle effect on us, which would shape our behavior and personality in an unconscious way. I picked up my father’s way of walk when I was a kid and have remained that style till today; and people always say that the way I talk reminds them of my Mum, despite the fact that I’ve never tried to imitate her. What’s more, although I’ve heard about peer pressure, I still believe that we want to live up to the expectations of our parents rather than our friends’. As I grew up, I’ve changed several schools and as a result, friends come and go, but parents have been there all the time. I do not want to let them down. I guess their hopes for me have been the driving force that encourages me to move forward and makes me the person I am today.TPO101.Talk about a time when you accomplished something you did not think you could do.What did you accomplish? Why did you think you could not do it?Last month, my parents went to Spain for a business trip. So I had to take care of myself during the next week. At first, I didn’t think that was a big deal until it occurred to me that I had to cook for seven days. Before that, I hadn’t even boiled an egg, let alone preparing a meal. Well, they said I could order some take-out or call my Aunt to come, but I didn’t want a baby-sitter, so I decided to push myself. Every morning, I went to the market nearby to get the materials I need. Then after school, I spent some time in the kitchen. The first time I spent almost an hour there, only to turn it into a total mess. So I ended up eating instant noodle that day. But I got interested in the stuff and gradually, everything got on the right track. When my parents went back home a week later, they were surprised to see me pigging out on the food I cooked. Now I believe that if we challenge ourselves, we may realize that the so-called “limitation” is just another thing to crack.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Use details and examples toexplain your answer.All children should be required to learn a second language in school.Generally speaking, I think it necessary to ask all children to learn a second language in school. As cultural and economic exchanges among different countries become more frequent, mastering a second language has gone from being an advantage to a must. In the past, job requirements usually did not mention the ability to speak a foreign language; but today, it has become a threshold of most companies; and we can imagine that in the near future, knowing another language besides mother tongue would be a normal thing. What’s more, the relevant courses offered in school are well-organized, which include classes, assignments, and tests; and children may not be willing to learn a second language unless the schools require them to do so. A t first, kids may not like it, but it’s good for them in the long run.TPO111.Talk about an interesting book you have read. Explain why you thought the book wasinteresting.I’d like to talk about the Book Thief. Actually, I saw the movie first, which attracted me immediately. Then I bought the book and couldn’t stop reading it after finishing the first page. The character I love the most is Hans, who is Liesel’s adopted father. In the story, he has been nothing but loving and caring. It is him who has taught Liesel how to read, and it is him who has stayed by Liesel’s bed when she was too scared to sleep. When he was enlisted by the army and sent to the war, I was deeply worried; and when he finally went back home, I cried my eyes out. I guess he reminds me of my late grandpa. Apart from Hans, the Book Thief has other interesting characters, such as a kid called Rudy, who has a crush on Liesel and has always been there for her. I can’t say whether the story is a tragedy or not, since many of them died in the end, but the girl has lived a happy life after that. It’s a story worth reading over and over again.2.Some people think that children should be allowed to watch whatever televisionprograms they choose to. Others think that parents should exercise control over the television programs their children watch. Which do you agree with? Explain why.I think parents should have some control over the TV programs watched by their children. Despite the government’s censorship system, there are still some programs which may have a negative influence on kids. For example, several months ago, a primary school kid tied his friend to a branch on the tree and tried to roast him. When I first read it, I thought it was a bad joke made by the newspaper, yet it turned out that it was true and the kid was trying to imitate a scene in a cartoon! That’s ridiculous! If parents had got involved in choosing the TV programs, this kind of tragedy wouldn’t have happened.Besides, parents have the responsibility to screen the shows for their children, so that kids won’t watch some violent or provocative programs. They may pick something which is both entertaining and instructive, like the Sesame Street, or the Myth Busters; kids would have a good time watching them.TPO121.What is the most efficient type of transportation in your country? Explain why you thinkit is efficient. Include specific reasons or examples.I think subway offers the most efficient way to get around in my country. Thanks to the social development, today, the subway network covers the whole city and even reaches to the suburbs, which has made it really convenient for us to get around. Two years ago, it took me nearly an hour to go to school by bike; yet these days, my school is only twenty-minute away. That’s great. Moreover, unlike bus or taxi, which may get stuck on the road, subway never has to worry about traffic congestion. It usually takes two minutes to get from one stop to the next. As a result, many people choose to go to work in this way, especially during the rush hours.2.Some people believe it’s essential for a person’s education to learn to play a musicalinstrument. Others don’t believe music e ducation is important. Which view do you agree with? Explain why.I think music education, such as learning to play a musical instrument, is beneficial for us. It helps to shape our personality. At least I myself became more patient and persistent while learning to play the piano. When I started learning it, I was quite excited. Yet the first several months turned out to be rather frustrating. Instead of playing out beautiful melodies, I had to spend nearly 4 hours a day practicing basic skills. I had thought about giving up several times, yet the dream of performing in my own concert has driven me to continue. Gradually, I’ve become more persistent and patient. Later in my study, whenever I got stuck in some problems, I could keep concentrating on them till I figure them out. That’s what learning to play the piano has taught me, and it’s a quality that has helped me a lot in other matters.TPO131.Talk about a game, sport, or other group activity that is played in your country. Explainwhy you think the activity is enjoyable.People in my country enjoy go hiking in the mountains. This shows the growing importance people have put on daily exercise. Nowadays, lots of young people have to work under heavy pressure; as a result, they only have time to grab a bite during lunch or dinner and often feel stressed out at the end of the day. Fortunately, more and more people have realized the importance of good health and are willing to squeeze some time out of their tight schedule for exercise. Besides, hiking in the mountain can be a way to socialize. When relaxed, people tend to be much nicer; also, since they have a similar hobby, it’s much easier for them to find something to talk about. Once on the road I met a bunch of travelers. We hit it off immediately and ended up having a BBQ on the top. That’s wonderful.2.When looking for information for a research project, some students prefer to get theirinformation mainly from the Internet. Others prefer to mainly use printed materials such as books and academic journals. Which do you prefer and why?I prefer to search for information from the Internet. There is a sea of information there. When working on research project, I need to get as much information as possible so that I could see the whole picture. Internet has everything, which we have easy access to. All I need to do is to type the key words in the search engine and single out the things needed. If I turn to the printed materials, it may take me ages to get what I want. Furthermore, the information on the Internet is in various forms, not only texts, but also videos. I watch the public courses regularly, some of which have offered me much inspiration; the TED is also terrific; although I may get the printed version of some lectures, they are not as up-to-date as those in the video version.TPO141.People enjoy reading many different types of books such as mystery, biography,romance, etc. Of all the different types of books that there are, what type do you most enjoy? Explain why.I like biography the most. In fact, I’m not a big fan of mystery or romance since most of the plot is fabricated. I’d rather trust my imagination and make up stories on my own. In contrast, biography offers facts about people and events, which enriches my knowledge in various fields. Recently, I’ve read the stor ies of Winston Churchill and Coco Chanel. They are not only inspiring, but also have introduced me to the whole new world of fashion and politics. Besides, through reading several biographies of the same person, I would get different perspectives. For example, many people have written books about Caocao, a politician and poet living nearly two thousand years ago. Some say that he is brave and wise, while others believe that he is cruel and treacherous. I think there is truth on both sides. I enjoy taking in various opinions about the same thing and t hat’s why biography appeals to me.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?One of the best ways to learn is by making mistakes.I agree that one can learn a lot through the mistakes he/she makes. Through trails and failures, we may know our strengths and weaknesses. Once I heard a speech, which has inspired me a lot. The speaker have pushed himself to go for various goals in the past, though he failed in many of them, he did not feel regretful since at least they taught him what he was not suitable for. I think that’s quite smart. Besides, some people may say that making mistakes hurt their confidence, which hinders their further development. Well, that’s not the case with me. As Stev e Jobs once said, “Failure is an option, but fear is not.” I enjoy challenging myself. Making mistakes won’t let me doubt myself; rather, it leaves a deep impression on me, which has far more influence on me than the suggestions given by others.TPO151.People make friends in many different ways. What do you think is a good way to makenew friends? Use specific details and examples in your response.A think one of the effective ways to make new friends is through doing some leisure time activities together, such as playing cards. When feeling relaxed, people tend to be nicer and are more willing to open themselves to others. In fact, I’ve made many friends on this kind of occasion. The atmosphere is great. We chat with each other about everything and gradually, friendship develops. Moreover, I believe we could learn about people’s personality by playing cards with them. For example, my father often bluffs about how great his cards are, yet my sister thinks it’s chea ting. What about my brother? Well, sometimes he is a sore loser, so we make sure that he wins once in a while. I guess you can tell a lot about a person by doing some leisure activities with them. And that’s a great way to make new friends.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is important to remember and learn from the past.Use details and examples to explain your opinion.Surely I believe that remembering and learning from the past is of great importance. Since history tends to repeat itself, it not only bridges the past with the present, but also guides our course into the future. By learning from the past, we may avoid some mistakes or reach our goals in more efficient ways. For example, nowadays, many people are learning the Art of Wars, a book written by a famous military leader in ancient China. In this book, he shared thirty six brilliant tactics and strategies used in the battle. Today, people around the world try to apply those strategies to business and political fields. Indeed, many successful companies have used some strategies in their negotiation and marketing process, which enables them to have an edge over their competitors. With more and more people realizing the importance of history, I’m sure we would benefit more from it.。

Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.I would like to talk about the book called the Five People You Meet in Heaven. I was attracted to its cover at first, although people often say that you should never judge a book by its cover. Well, I could not remember its content clearly, but I guess it talks about a story of a dead guy. After he died and went to heaven, he met five people, who he thought was perfect strangers and didn’t have any relationship with each other. However, it turned out that the events that had happened on these people were all connected in some way, which finally led to his death. The story is quite inspiring, at least for me. I believe that the little things that happen in our daily life are not isolated, but connected in some subtle manner. Now I am never easily frustrated by setbacks in my life since I know that the so-called “bad things”may eventually lead to a great ending.2. Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe that it has had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details and examples to explain your opinion.Generally speaking, I believe that TV has a positive influence on society. It has permeated into our daily life for such a long time that watching TV together has become a way to strengthen the bond within the family. Every night after meal, the family members would sit in front of the TV, watching shows while chatting about the things that happen during the day. They don’t care much about which programs are on, as long as everyone is present. Besides, TV provides a relief zone for most of us. Sometimes my parents feel stressed out after a whole day’s work, and I also have to study under heavy pressure. Watching TV enables us to get refreshed, thus preparing us for the next day.TPO 21.Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it isimportant. Please use specific details in your explanation.In spare time, I often go to a book store called Librairie Avant-Garde. It is probably one of the most popular stores in my hometown, especially since the New York Times listed it as the most beautiful book store in Nanjing. I like there because it is my relief zone. The atmosphere is quite refreshing. I enjoy reading under the golden dim light with the rich smell of coffee around and soft, euphoric melody in the air. Even simply sitting there enables me to get away from all the troubles. Besides, I’ve met many amazing people there, who have similar interests with me. Sometimes we discuss about the books. We are particularly fond of books about traveling and even plan to have a long-distance trip together. Isn’t it wonderful? The store is another home for me.2.Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas inorder to get a broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?I prefer to take courses in a variety of subject areas. I’m curious about everything which is strange to me and more than willing to take courses about them. I don’t need much professional information, just some introduction to various areas so that I would know which fields deserve my further attention. I’ve taken a broad range of courses in school, such as literature, history, psychology, to name a few. I’m surprised to realize that I’m quite talented in many of them and have decided to deepen my understanding in relevant fields. Besides, I don’t like focusing on a single subject area. Even though I may become an expert in that area, I would be rather poor in others and that lets me feel insecure.TPO 31.What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Explain whythese characteristics are important to you.First of all, a good parent should respect me. What I mean is, never compare me with others since this would not only hurt my confidence, but also put me under heavy pressure. I’ve watched some parents doing this in front of me, and the poor kids seemed rather embarrassed. What’s more, I hope they would stand in my shoes, especially when I don’t do a good job. We have lots of exams at school and sometimes I blow them. I’m quite lucky in that my parents are not those people who just focus on the results and scold the kids for bad scores. Rather, they care more about the efforts I’ve made and how much progress I’ve got. And during those hard times, we would discuss my situation together, trying to figure out the problems I face. That’s what wonderful parents should do.2.Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believeit is better to work in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I prefer to work on the assignment in a group. I have to admit that I’m a self-motivated person. When left alone, I often get myself distracted by snacks, music or computer games. I mean, it’s like those things are calling out to me. In contrast, if I join a study group, I have to focus on the assignments since when everyone else me is study, I cannot be the only one goofing around. Besides, the whole group can do some brain-storming, which helps to boost the efficiency. You know, we put our heads together, and each one would contribute some inspiring thoughts. Of course, I could finish the tasks on my own; but I may see only part of the picture. Working in a group allows us to get a more comprehensive idea.TPO41.What do you miss most about your home when you are away? Use specific detailsin your explanation.I miss my ukulele most when I’m away from home. It’s a gift a bought for myself. Actually, I’ve always wanted to learn Guitar, but since it’s too big for me I had to drop the idea. And the whole thing came to a dead –end until I saw a ukulele. It’s small and only has four strings, which makes it relatively easier to learn. I’ve played it every day since I got it home and gradually, the rookie became the master. Once I traveled abroadfor half a month, during which I had to endure the separation with it. It was like part of my life was missing. Although I had a great time there, I was pretty sure it would have been even better if I had had my ukulele at hand. I guess I would bring it wherever I go in the future.2.Many universities now offer academic courses over the Internet. However, somepeople still prefer learning in traditional classrooms. Which do you think is better?Explain why.I would definitely vote for traditional classrooms. It is true that on-line courses have made it convenient for us to take various courses at home and abroad, it lacks the learning atmosphere. When learning in classrooms, I have my classmates and professor around. If I have any questions, I simply raise my hand and speak them out. Then my classmates and professors would discuss about it. Sometimes we even have a little debate. All these activities, which are away from on-line courses, help to deepen our understanding. Besides, I don’t think the on-line communication can replace face-to-face conversation. When talking in person, we could see each others’ facial expression, hear their voice. It’s just more natural. Of course I can chat with others through typing on line. But the feeling is different and I don’t like taking courses in this way.。

托福TPO4独立口语Task2题目: Many universities now offer academic courses over the Internet. However, some people still prefer learning in traditional classrooms. Which do you think is better? Explain why. 托福TPO4独立口语Task2满分范文: I think learning in traditional classrooms is better. The reason why I think so is that there are more interactions in traditional classrooms than in online courses. Students can have discussions and they see each other face to face. It’s highly probable that some of them will become friends. While in the online courses, students don’t know each other, they miss a chance of making friends. Also, in a traditional classroom, if a student doesn’t understand a concept or an idea, he or she can raise hand to ask the teacher directly. While in an online course, there is no chance for students to raise hands or to throw out questions immediately. Students in traditional classrooms not only learn the academic knowledge but also learn basic interpersonal interactions. I prefer to take academic courses on the Internet. Since the courses are offered online, I don’t have to live near campus. All I need is a computer and a well-connected Internet. I can study at home and anywhere convenient. Besides, I don’t have to worry about my housing, nor do I need to drive back and forth. So it saves me money and time. Also, it’s easier to record online courses so I can review the part I don’t understand. With the recorded courses, I can have a good review before final examination. 以上是给大家整理的托福TPO4口语Task2题目+满分范文,希望对你有所帮助!。

托福口语:TPO3口语Task2参考答案TPO3口语Task2题目:Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it is better to work in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.TPO3口语Task2参考答案(范文模板):I think that students should work on class assignments by themselves. Firstly, when you work in a group, it’s common to have one person doing most of the work while the rest of the group hardly does anything. Most of the time I ever worked in groups, it was always me doing all the work while the rest of the group still got full credit, which I think is totally unfair. Secondly, I think that people in the group that don’t do as much don’t learn as much either, which can have a negative influence on them later in class. If I was ever in a group and didn’t participate, I ended up learning almost nothing at all, and then would do poorly on any tests that the teacher would assign later. That is why I think that students should work on class assignments by themselves.。

TPO口语-阅读Reading Part:Social interactionPeople deal with each other every day. This interaction is at the heart of social life. The study of social interaction is concerned with the influence people have over one another’s behavior. People take each other into account in their daily behavior and in fact, the very presence of others can affect behavior. For example, one principle of social interaction, audience effects, suggests that individuals’ work is affected by their knowledge that they are visible to others, that the presence of others tends to alter the way people behave or perform an activity.TPO口语-听力听力原文:Now listen to part of a talk in a sociology class. The professor is discussing audience effects.ProfessorOK, so we said that the way we interact with others has an impact on our behavior. In fact, there’s some interesting research to suggest that in one type of interaction - when we’re being observed specifically, when we know we’re being watched as we perform some activity - we tend to increase the speed at which we perform that activity.In one study, college students were asked to each put on a pair of shoes-shoes with laces they would have to tie. Now one group of students was told that they would be observed. The second group, however, didn’t know they were being observed. The students who were aware that they were being watched actually tied their shoes much faster than the students who thought they were alone. Other studies confirm the same is true even when we’re learning new activities.Let’s say someone is learning a new task - for example, learning how t o type. When they’re conscious of being observed, they’ll likely begin typing at a much faster rate than they would if they were alone. But, and this is interesting, the study also showed that certain common behavior- things people typically do, like...mak ing mistakes when you’re learning something new that behavior pattern will also increase. So in other words, when we’re learning to type, and we know we’re being watched, we’ll type faster but we’ll also make more mistakes.TPO口语-题目Question:Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle of audience effects.TPO口语-解析Tips:1. Reading key.(1.1) Term: Audience Effect.(1.2) Definition: audience ef fects, suggests that individuals’ work is affected by their knowledge that they are visible to others.2. Listening key.(2.1) Example 1.(2.1.1) Two groups of students were ask to tie their shoes.(2.1.2) One group knew they were being watched.(2.1.3) The other group didn’t.(2.1.4) First group tie their shoes a lot faster than the second group.(2.2) Example 2.(2.2.1) The same thing happens when we are learning a new activity.(2.2.2) When we know we are being watched when learning how to type.(2.2.3) We would type faster with more mistakes.TPO口语-范文范文一:The professor talks about audience effect which means people would perform differently when they know they are being watched. In the first example, two groups of students were asked to put on some shoes, while the first group knew they were being watched, the other group didn’t. The result shows that the first group put on the shoes faste r than the second group. The same thing happens when people learn a new activity. When we learn how to type, and know that we are being observed, we would type faster, but we will also make more mistakes.范文二:The principle of audience ef fects is that individuals’ performance is affected by the knowledge that others are watching them. The professor uses examples of tying shoes and learning to type to demonstrate that we actually increase our speed of performing if we know that we are being observed. In the example of tying shoes, one group of college students was told that they were being observed, the other didn’t know they were being observed. The students who knew they were being watched tied their shoes much faster than the other group. And in the example of learning to type, when we are conscious of being observed, we will increase typing speed. We type faster than we do alone. Also, other behavioral pattern will increase, like making mistakes. So when we type faster when we know we are being observed, we also make more mistakes.托福口语 TPO2 Task4(听力+解析+范文)就为同学们介绍到这里,希望大家可以在范文中总结出口语的规律,多记一些好的词汇和句子。

托福TPO4口语task3题目 Reading Part:Evening Computer Classes May Be AddedThe computer department is considering offering evening classes in the fall. The proposal to add the classes is a response to student complaints that day time computer classes have become increasingly over crowded and there are no longer enough computers available. The department has decided that despite some added expense, the most cost-effective way of addressing this problem is by adding computer classes in the evening. It is hoped that this change will decrease the number of students enrolled in day classes and thus guarantee individual access to computers for all students in computer classes.托福TPO4口语task3题目 Listening Part:Now listen to two students discussing the article.(man) I just don’t think th is will work.(woman) Why not?(man) Because it’s not gonna solve the problem. Students are busy at night, I mean, we have jobs, families, clubs, social events. Most of us already have something to do every single night of the week.(woman) I see your poin t. I sure couldn’t fit anything into my schedule during the week. I’ve got swimming practice most nights.(man) Right! And as far as expense goes, I think they’re going about it the wrong way. I mean, it cost money to hire more teachers and keep the academic building open later, which is a lot more expensive than simply just buying more computers.(woman) More computers?(man) That’s right! Computer prices have come way down the past few years. So the department won’t have to spend as much now as they did in the past. Besides, the computer department classrooms, you know, the rooms themselves, they are actually very big, there’s plenty of space to add more computers.托福TPO4口语task3题目 Question:The computer department is considering a scheduling change. Explai n the man’s opinion of the change and the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.托福TPO4口语task3答案解析:1. Reading keys(1.1) Announcement: college will start offering evening computer classes(1.2) Reason 1: not enough classes to meet the needs(1.3) Reason 2: new plan is cost efficient2. Listening keys(2.1) Man disagrees with it(2.2) Reason 1: students are busy at night(2.2.1) Details: families, clubs, social events(2.3) Reason 2: it’s cheaper to buy new computers(2.3.1) Details: computer prices have come way down; expensive to keep the building open late; there’s room for the new equipment托福TPO4口语task3范文:The school is planning to start offering evening computer classes due to it’s popularity and it will be cost effective. In the conversa tion the man disagrees with the school’s plan for the following reasons. First of all, many students are busy at night doing other activities. For example, they might have jobs, families, clubs and social events to attend to. He also thinks that the school should buy more computers to meet the needs instead of opening up more classes. Computer prices decreased a lot during the years, they have become very cheap. Hiring more teaching staff is going to be more expensive for the school in the long run, plus there will be enough space for the new equipment.托福TPO4口语task4题目 Reading Part:Nonverbal LanguagesNonverbal language refers to human emotional expressions without involving verbal statements. Facial expressions and body moments 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.Under the circumstances that nonverbal languages and verbal languages contradict in the contents they express, nonverbal languages are more likely to release people’s true emotions.托福TPO4口语task4题目 Listening Part:Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a psychology course.Professor (male) Last month, my favorite uncle paid me a surprise visit. I hadn’t seen him in many years. The door bell rang, I opened the door and there was uncle Pete. Now, I am sure when I saw him I said something like, “Uncle Pete, what asurprise! How nice to see you.” Anyway, my wife was standing next to me, and according to her, I wasn’t really aware of this, my eyes got really wide and I broke into a huge big smile, she said I was really jumping up and down like a little boy. Well, anyway, later that evening uncle Pete told me how very good he felt when he saw how happy I was to see him.But compared that with this: my daughter, she’s six, we were building a bird house together last week, and I was showing her how to use a hammer and a nail. And, of course, stupid me, I wasn ’t being very careful when I smashed my thumb with the hammer. Boy, it hurt! I almost felt like screaming, but I didn’t want to upset my daughter, so I said, “Don’t worry, honey. It’s nothing.” Meanwhile, I was shaking my hand as if that would stop my thumb from hurting and my face was contorted in pain.My voice was trembling, too. So, even though I told my daughter I was OK, I am sure she didn't believe me, because she kept asking me if I was OK.托福TPO4口语task4题目 Question:Explain how the examples from the professor’s lecture illustrate the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication.托福TPO4口语task4答案解析:1. Reading key(1.1) Main idea: relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication(1.1.1) Agree with one another: enhance and support each other(1.1.2) Conflict with one another: nonverbal is more accurate2. Listening key(2.1) Example 1:(2.1.1) Uncle visits(2.1.2) Verbal: so happy to see you!(2.1.3) Nonverbal: jumping up and down, huge big smile, eyes got really wideNonverbal signals enhance verbal message(2.2) Example 2:(2.2.1) Teaches daughter how to use a hummer and nail(2.2.2) Verbal: it’s fine, it’s alright(2.2.3) Nonverbal: shakes hand, face full of pain(2.2.4) Nonverbal signals are telling the truth托福TPO4口语task4范文:In the lecture, the professor talks about the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication. The first example is that his uncle Pete gave him a surprise visit. His eyes got wide, he broke into a huge big smile, and he was jumping up and down like a little boy. His expression enhanced how happy he was to see Uncle Pete. The second example is he hurt his thumb when teaching his daughter how to work with a hammer. Even though he kept saying he’s fine, he was shaking his hand and his face was twisted in pain. Those expressions told his daughter the truth: he was really in a lot of pain.。
2020年4月23日托福口语答案解析Task 1: What do you think is the most important thing that parents should teach their children? Please include detailsin your response.Sample Answer:From my own perspective, I consider the sense of self-respect as the most important thing for parents to deliver to their children. There are several reasons.Firstly, we people need to learn to love ourselves and respect ourselves before showing respect and sympathy to other. It is a natural sequence for us to follow. Only inthis way, can we enjoy our lives thoroughly with wisdom and richness.The second point that praises self-respect is that the world around us is quiet chaotic to tell good from bad and we have to find answers in every stage of life so as to keep going on. It is then we start to realize that respect for ourselves is what makes us us.Task 2: Some people prefer to spend lots of money on vacation. some people would spend little money on vacation. Which do you prefer and why?Sample Answer:I would spend a lot of money on traveling to place of interests for entertainment and study.Firstly, entertainment, the multicolored world is a place worth digging for treasures.

Basically, we travel while grow along the way.。

TPO 4 is one of the practice tests available for test takers to familiarize themselves with the format and content of the actual exam. In this article, we will provide an analysis of TPO 4, including the task types and sample answers.TPO 4 consists of three sections: Listening, Reading, and Speaking. In the Listening section, test takers are required to listen to a variety of audio recordings and answer multiple-choice questions based on the content. The topics covered in TPO 4 include academic lectures, conversations, and discussions. It is essential to practice active listening and pay attention to the details in order to answer the questions correctly.Moving on to the Reading section, test takers are presented with academic passages and must answer multiple-choice questions and complete summaries based on the information provided. The passages in TPO 4 cover various subjects such as biology, sociology, and anthropology. It is crucial to develop effective reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and making use of context clues to comprehend the passages and answer the questions accurately.In the Speaking section of TPO 4, test takers are given prompts and are required to provide spoken responses. They must express their opinions, provide reasons, and support their responses with relevant examples. This section assesses the ability to communicate fluently and coherently in spoken English. It is essential to organize thoughts and ideas before responding and to speak clearly and confidently.Now let's delve into the analysis of the answers for some of the tasks in TPO 4:In the Listening section, there is a task where test takers need to listen to a conversation between two students discussing a course project. The question asks about the purpose of the project. The correct answer is that the purpose is to apply what they have learned in the course. The students mention that the project is a requirement for the course and that they need to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts by applying them in a practical project.

The question asks for the definition of the tragedy of the commons. The correct answer is that it is the degradation of shared resources due to individual exploitation. The passage highlights that when individuals have access to shared resources, they tend to exploit them for their own benefit, leading to depletion.Therefore, selecting this option demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the passage.In the Speaking section, there is a prompt asking test takers about their favorite kind of music. When responding,it is important to provide a clear opinion and support it with relevant examples. A sample response could be: "My favorite kind of music is classical. I find it soothing and relaxing, especially after a long day. I enjoy listening to symphonies by Beethoven and Mozart. The intricate melodies and harmonies transport me to another world and help me unwind. Additionally, classical music has been proven to enhance concentration and cognitive abilities, which is an added benefit. Overall, I find classical music to be a timeless and enriching genre."In conclusion, TPO 4 is a valuable resource for test takers preparing for the TPO exam. By analyzing the tasks and providing sample answers, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of the format and content of the test. It is essential to practice actively listening, develop effective reading strategies, and communicate fluently in spoken English to perform well on the exam. Remember to approach each task with focus and concentration, and to utilize the skills and techniques acquired during preparation. Good luck!。

托福TPO41独立口语Task2题目: Some people believe it is important for university to provide funding for student entertainment, such as movies or concerts on campus. Others believe that university money should only be used for academic purposes. Which view do you agree with? Explain why. 托福TPO41独立口语Task2满分范文: In my opinion, the money should be used in entertainment rather than academic purpose. The reasons are as below. To start, college life can be really stressful, students have so many classes and assignments each day, so a little movies or concerts can do a lot good to them. Help them easy up and remain a better mood. So it’s a good way to balance their study and life. Furthermore, it’ll be healthier to spend their leisure time doing such entertaining things, otherwise, they may stay at their dorm or hang out in the library, which is a little boring, and if the university can hold some interesting events, it’ll be a good way to kill time. 以上是给大家整理的托福TPO41口语Task2题目+满分范文,希望对你有所帮助!。
