托福写作语料part1

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.。

According to the reading, it says that a four-day week is benefit to both employees and company. But the professor who gave the lecture disagrees this opinion.Firstly, the reading considers that a four-day week not only make the employees work more effectively, but company can save a sum of money. At the same time, the company can employ more employees. However the professor thinks a four-day week doesn't work. Because it will make the company spend more time and money on training the new employees and buying the office facilities.Secondly, it is good for the country, because it can offer the option to workless people and it will not lead to a loss. The employees get 80% of their normal pay, and the rest will be paid to the new employees. Although it has this benefit, the professor puts forward that a four-day week will cause the company pay more money on medical benefits. So a four-day week will not suit for us.Finally, the passage also mentions that people will have more free time to stay at home. They can spend time with family and do anything they like. It will make them live a fulfilling life. Nevertheless the professor thinks it also reduces their quality of life due to the less wage. Anyway they have different idea between the four-day week.。

It’s just so large，it’ll take up all the green space in front of the campus center! This is public space that should be reserved for students to use.tpo1口语范文第7篇I think television has a positive influence on society.It’s a good source of news.The members in the society can get newseasily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what’s happening around.Like， my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with the latest television can be a kind of entertainment.People can watch different shows on TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas.I have many friends who like watching Late show with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost and Friends.They all consider TV as a good way of relaXing themselves and of killing time.So， with the news and same TV programs， people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk about in any event.Therefore， society actually benefits from TV.tpo1口语范文第8篇I miss food most when I am away from my home， particularly the noodles cooked by my father.When I was in high school， my father always cooked noodles for me at night.Every day after night classes， I came home and ate the noodles.You know， after long-time study， it’s easy to be tired and hungry.So the first thing I did when I got home at that time was to eat noodles.Its so delicious.Sometimes， my father would add beef to the noodles，which is my favourite.The most important ingredient of the noodles is the specially-made sauce.Sadly， I don’t know how eXactly my father makes the sauce.But whenever I go back home，I will enjoy the noodles cooked by my father.TPO5托福口语Task1题目+满分范文tpo1口语范文第9篇Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society.Others believe it has had a negative influence on society.Which do you agree with and why? Use details and eXamples to eXplain your opinion.。

1. Some people think it is very important to have social interactions with neighbors. Others feel it is not important for neighbors to know each other. Which do you agree with, and why?I actually believe that interacting with your neighbors isn’t so important. But when I tried to think of why I feel that way, I realized the reasons are personal and complicated. Firstly, knowing my neighbors isn’t a priority for me because most of my friends and family live outside my neighborhood, it’s convenient to keep in touch with them by social application. What’s more, I already spend a lot of time socializing with my friends and colleagues, and don’t have much time left over to get to know people who live in my immediate area.2. Your friend wants to lose weight. What advice would you give your friend and why?Answer 1:If my friend wanted to lose weight, I would recommend that he or she eat more frequently but smaller portions and do regular exercise. I have a family member who was successful in losing weight by drastically cutting back her calorie intake, but I saw the dangers of this firsthand. I tried to tell her that research says that eating smaller portions more often and exercising regularly was the right way to lose weight. She did exercise, but I think it’s important to exercise properly and safely and work yourself up to more intense workouts rather than to start going hard right from the get-go. To sum up, I know it’s possible to lose weight in other ways, but this is the advice I would offer to my friend if she wanted to lose weight.Answer 2:If my friend wanted to lose weight, in the beginning I would recommend that he or she eat more frequently but smaller meals. According to research eating more regularly can positively influence our metabolism, meanwhile it can help us keep blood sugar levels stable.Secondly, working out on a regular basis is also important. Not only does it help us burn more calories, but lower risk of many diseases like diabetes and obesity.To sum up, I know it’s possible to lose weight in other ways, but this is the advice I would offer to my friend if she wanted to lose weight.3. Some people prefer to read physical books made from paper, while others prefer to read electronic books on a digital device. Which do you prefer and why? I’ve actually talked to many people about this before. I personally prefer to read real, physical books as the following reasons.First and foremost, I like the smell and the sound of the pages turning. Books have a distinct smell and the feel of them in your hand is not the same as holding an e-reader of some kind.Also, I like to be able to write in a book if I want or take notes. I also believe that technology will almost entirely take over and books will no longer be printed. So, I thinkthat having real books is important as they will have a totally unique value when this happens. So, that’s why I prefer to read physical books rather than electronic books on a digital device.4. Some people like participating in a performance like the theatrical or musical show. Others prefer to be in an audience watching those plays. Which do you prefer?I firmly believe that participating in a performance benefits more than just to be an audience, the following reasons will sufficiently illustrate what I say.As for the very first reason, it is apparently because stage shows help people think outside of the box and understand how to appraise a situation. In fact, performing arts have been regarded as one the best methods of improving one's self-confidence and self-esteem over time.People will become more confident going into unfamiliar situations which is able to help them a lot to deal with new challenges successfully. What’s more,communication skill will also be improved with exposure to such an environment. Because feedback and discussion are important parts of a stage show, which will help people cooperate with others. For example, back in my high school, when me and my classmates prepared a show for our graduation ceremony. All of us expressed our opinions, then selected the best ones, finally we performed an enjoyable show.To sum up, I prefer participating in a performance.5. Some people prefer sending messages while others prefer making phone calls directly, which one do you prefer?Key points: trendy, less intrusive, convenient when noisyNowadays, sending a text message has become more popular than making a phone call. There are numerous reasons available to justify this statement. In my opinion, there are a lot more advantages than disadvantages to the practice of sending text messages.One the one hand, to send text messages to others is because it’s keeping up with the times. For instance, a survey taken by a university reveals that almost 70% of the younger prefer to use WhatsApp or WeChat to text their friends rather than using a voice call to speak. According to young people, using a messaging application is trendier than using a voice call application.On the other hand, texting is a quick and efficient way to convey information. Also, a text message is much less intrusive and impersonal than a voice call. It gives the recipient to take their own time to reply whereas when you make a call, you could cause inconvenience to the other person by calling at the wrong time. However, when you leave a text message, the other party is not disturbed, and they can decide whether they want to reply or not. Another advantage of texting is that it is very convenient. There are certain environments which are unsuitable for making voice calls. Forexample, you can’t make a voice call from a highly noisy or very quiet environment.In conclusion, the practice of sending text messages certainly has a few disadvantages. For example, we may not get an instant reply. Even so, texting has many advantages over voice calling because it is cheaper, less intrusive and more convenient.Other points: Alleviating the reaction-- avoid real eye contact and a person’s face expression; Ease of use; Easy to remember; Less stressful; Multitasking friendly6. Some people prefer to give their opinions immediately. Others prefer to wait and listen to others’ opinions before giving their own. Which one do you think is better?Personally speaking, I prefer to wait and listen to others’ opinion before giving my own. Not only because it allows us to make fewer mistakes but think about the big picture, the following reasons will sufficiently illustrate what I say.Firstly, haste makes waste. If I give my opinions too fast, I will probably just jump into conclusions and I can’t have a deep thought about it. Several seconds of wait won’t hurt. For example, when I was a student, I used to answer any question immediately. Sometimes, I was in a hurry to answer the question before anyone else without enough thinking which led me to misinterpretation.In addition, I can get a more holistic view in the process of listening to others’ opinions.I will think about from their perspective if listen to other’s viewpoint in the first place. Asa result, I can integrate their ideas into mine and get a whole thought.Thus, I prefer to wait and listen to others’ opinion firstly and develop mine later.7. Your university will allow people from the local community to learn the course on campus, they could enter into the class, but can’ t ask questions and don’ t have assignments. Do you think this is a good idea？Explain why or why not?Personally speaking, I don’t believe not allowing them to ask questions and no assignments is a good idea for the following reasons.First, if the people from local community join our class voluntarily, they must be very interested in this course and may get involved with this field. Therefore, if they are allowed to ask questions, which might be insightful and inspired. What’s more, their opinion may also help us have a deeply understanding of the course. Sometimes they may interrupt the teaching process, but we benefit more from their opinion.Secondly, having assignments not only help them review the course but increase theopportunities of the interaction with them. Then we can build a study team with community members, finishing the assignments together, which would help us a lot.8. Should children solve the problem by themselves or with the help of their parents?I strongly believe that children should solve the problem by themselves. The following reasons will sufficiently illustrate my point.First and foremost, solving problem by themselves is to help them to survive difficulty and unpleasant feelings. When our children face tough problem, they may feel frustrated, disappointed and sad, but they need to learn that they can manage these negative feelings when they inevitably arise. This is helping to build resilience and coping mechanisms and develop emotion management ability.In addition, it can help children to develop their ability of independent and logics thinking instead of seeking help immediately when they get stuck, which is critical capability when they grow up. For example, when I was a child, sometimes I would ask for help from my mother when I met problem, however, she would direct me to think and find the solution rather than telling me the directly. Now I have excellent problem-solving ability and perform better than my colleagues.9. Describe an important festival in your country.In speaking of festivals, as we all know China is a country of numerous festivals and we love to celebrate different occasions whole-heartedly. In fact, there are so many festivals in China and it is quite tough for me to pick a particular favorite. I would love to talk about the Spring Festival, which is also known as Chinese Lunar New Year, as I personally enjoy it quite a lot.The Spring Festival is the biggest festival in our country and this festival touches every single street and every single citizen of China. I suppose it is somewhat like the Christmas festival is in Western countries in terms of celebration and as the New Year festival in terms of its norm. People get together with their family members during this time and they seem happy for that. Many stores and businesses remain closed during this time and people cook delicious food, visit relatives & friends, watch TV, wear new dresses and welcome New Year.I also contact some of my friends and enjoy our time together.I invite them to have dinner with us, and I often roam around the streets with them. Welcoming the New Year is another important aspect of this festival. We wish each other a happy and prosperous new year and exchange gifts with friends and family members.10. Do you agree or disagree：“The most important lesson can’t be learnt inclass.”I totally agree with the statement that “The most important lesson can’t be learned in class”The lesson we learned in class mostly is basic knowledge and academic skills. What we learn off school is much more practical. For example, you will never learn how to maintain successful relationship with your colleagues when we are in school, but it’s crucial to survive in the fierce competition in a company. In addition, you will never learn how to make a career development in classroom, but outside of school, we’ve got have to consider for our future, about the next 5 or 10 years of planning. These are not considered in school, but we have to learn in society.。

官方真题TPO1托福独立写作题目文本+满分范文官方真题Official1托福独立写作题目原文：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? At universities and colleges, sports and social activities are just as important as classes and libraries and should receive equal financial support. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.官方真题Official1托福独立写作满分范文1：As people regard education as an essential part of life more and more, where the educational budgets should be devoted to rises to a hot topic. Some people hold the view that money is supposed to be put into classes and libraries, while others believe that an equal amount of financial support should begiven to sports and social activities at universities and colleges. From my perspective, sports and social activities make a complete campus life together with classes and libraries, so I firmly agree with the statement. First of all, playing sports makes a person healthy and energetic to face the future challenges. It can be seen everywhere that more and more students wear glasses, and too much reading along with facing computers for a long time makes it even worse. Then they may suffer from eye problems or other physical diseases. The only way of improving this case is to encourage them to take some time relaxing in sports. Furthermore, playing a ball game together is the best method to promote teamwork spirit. After a period of playing together, members will develop a way to solve problems and achieve their common goal. Therefore, sports strengthen ones body as well as enhance the spirit of teamwork. Besides, social activities can help foster abilities that students cannot gain during classes or self-studying. Though being smart and diligent, some students are called pedants because of not being able to exchange ideas with others freely. Only if a person is equipped with knowledge and is capable of expressing it can he become competent. So, it is significant for them to take part in social activities with the aim oflifting their communication skills. When pedants are forced to talking with others, its a great chance for them to make new friends and express their thoughts, which may be an opportunity for their future career. Last but not the least is that the places provided for sports and social activities are in need of money. It is common that the school will spend a large sum of money to purchase updated books and facilities to fulfill the requirements of classes and libraries. However, finding a suitable place to play sports or hold social activities is always hard. Take my university as an example, if I want to read a book, I can easily find a seat in the library, but if I want to run for half an hour, the crowded gym will just turn me into a upset mood. Then, requiring the same amount of financial support to ameliorate the condition is just reasonable. In a nutshell, financial support should be contributed to sports and social activities just like classes and libraries, for they help with strengthening bodies, making progress in communication skills and they are in shortage of fund.官方真题Official1托福独立写作满分范文2：Some people claim that universities and colleges should not spend a great deal of money on sports and social activities, as their budgets should prioritize classes and libraries.However, as educational institutions, universities and colleges have an obligation to provide a wide range of knowledge to their students to help them develop academically and socially. An increasing number of businesses have high demand for people who are not only specialists in their fields, but also skilled in social interaction. With the ever changing science and technology, no task can be fulfilled by a single person and given the need for collaboration, social skills and team spirit are indispensable qualities for success. Clearly, sports and social activities in universities and colleges provide students with the perfect settings to practice their social skills. By playing football in a team or joining in a contest, for instance, students can develop a sense of belonging and experience team spirit, both of which are quite essential for their future careers. Aside from fostering social skills and team spirit, sports and social activities can greatly help students release their pressures. Nowadays, students not only have to finish all the tasks assigned by teachers, but also have to attend many extra-curricular training courses. Even the most enthusiastic people feel tired and exhausted if they keep this busy schedule for a pretty long time. For example, when I was in high school, I would playbasketball with my classmates. I could always get good refreshment and resume schoolwork with higher efficiency later on. Admittedly, academic education will always be at the heart of a university. In universities, sports and social activities should by no means take the place of a focus on academic study. However, what I believe is that universities and colleges are supposed to invest in academics as well as sports and social activities. For instance, in the United States, almost all famous universities have plenty of sports teams and social groups, and universities provide adequate financial support for these events. Both of these fields are highly valued. For these reasons, I maintain that universities and colleges should spend enough money on academic education and social movements to prepare students for their future development.如何提高托福写作速度?一、打字速度作为互联网的一代，绝大部分考生对键盘应当是相当熟悉对，并且用中文打字的速度也是十分的快速，但是为什么偏偏英文就不行呢?答案很简单，大家熟悉的是中文拼音的排列组合。

托福作文话题大全英文英文：I've got you covered on that TOEFL essay topic list! Let's dive right in.Topic 1: Education。

Education plays a crucial role in shaping individuals and societies. In today's fast-paced world, the demand for a quality education is higher than ever. Schools and universities are not just places to gain knowledge; they are also hubs for personal growth and development. For example, when I was in college, I had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad program in China. This experience not only enhanced my language skills but also broadened my cultural understanding. Additionally, education empowers individuals to pursue their passions and achieve their goals. Whether it's through formal schooling or informal learning opportunities, education is the key tounlocking one's full potential.中文：教育是塑造个人和社会的关键因素。

TASK 11.PersonThe reasons you choose this person:-tolerant of others-good values-educatedIn my family, my mother has influenced me greatly because she has so many good qualities. She is very well educated and keeps an open mind. Her thinking is very modern. She is able to understand people from different generations. In addition, she is a good listener. This makes her tolerant of other people’s opinions. Her personal values set a good example for me to follow in my own life. The way she treats people and thinks makes me want to become the best person I can be. This is why I think my mother has influenced me the most in my life.2.CultureThe rudest behavior: ignoring peopleThe reason you chose the behavior-hurts people’s feelings-anti-social behavior-makes others uncomfortableThe rudest thing a person can do in our culture is to ignore someone. It cut off all communication. Ignoring someone shows selfishness and a lack of respect to others. If I am trying to catch someone’s attention in a meeting to discuss something or in a store fro assistance, it can be very embarrassing to be ignored. It can hurt people’s feelings and make people lose self-confidence. Furthermore, it makes anyone witnessing this rude behavior uncomfortable. Overall, the rudest thing you can do is to ignore some one as it hurts everyone involved.3.EventThe event: my graduationThe reason you chose the event-special ceremony-recognized for my hard work-full of all my friends and familyMy high school graduation is the most memorable event in my life because it was such a special day. During our graduation we were each called up one at a time to the stage. We each received our diploma and everyone applauded our hard work. I even received an award for being the best math student. There was a get-together afterwards which was attended by all my friends and family. It was a memorable event because on this day I ended one part of my life and embarked on the beginning of my future.4.PetThe animal: giraffeThe reasons you chose the animal:-majestic animal-long tongue and powerful lips-awkward and goofyIf I could have a pet, I would have a giraffe. It is the most majestic animal in the world. It is tall and sleek. It bends down gracefully to pick leaves from trees using its long tongue and powerful lips. Its fur coat is the most beautiful found in the desert – a yellow background with large brown circles placed here and there. Despite its grace horns on its head and a somewhat goofy looking smile. To me the giraffe is a paradoxical animal – clumsily and awkwardly beautiful and graceful. and filmThe program: SeinfeldThe reasons you chose the program:-funny-mix of characters-everyday situationsI like to watch the TV program Seinfeld because it is a funny show about ordinary people like my friends and me. None of the characters on the show are perfect people. Each one takes a turn getting into some trouble on screen. Sometimes they help each other out while other times they just make each feel silly for their mistakes. My friends and I try to see every episode. In fact, we often talk about the most recent episode when we see each other. I can really identify with the show because the characters are so similar to my friends.6. MusicThe type of music: rock musicThe reasons you chose the music-like beat-sound of a generation-music for a better life and a better societyI like all kinds of music but if I had to choose one type of music it would be rock. It was the lively beat of change for a whole society. Moreover, one of the leaders of this change was Jimi Hendrix. When I listen to his masterful electric guitar style, I can hear the energy of his generation. The music has a soul and an appealing sound. It has inspired many people to work for a better life for themselves and for a better society around them. Rock music has soul and has stood the rest of time.7.BookThe book: the Catcher in the Rye by J. D. SalingerThe reasons you chose the book:-identified with the character-challenges of my age group-interesting point of viewWhen I read The Catcher in the Rye, By J. D. Salinger, it was already an old book, but I liked it because I identified with Holden Caulfield, the young man who was the main character. He was not always correct in his judgments about the way life was, although he had strong opinions. I liked to read about how he felt and what heunderstood. His constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies, capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation. In many ways, we still have the same challenges in life since the times of The Catcher in the Rye.8.SubjectThe subject: mathThe reasons you chose the subject-difficult to understand-not relevant to my life-no time to catch upMy worst subject in school was mathematics. I didn’t understand it as well as other subjects. Furthermore, it was hard for me to see the relevant of math in my life. I just never saw the point of studying so many formulas and equations that seem so abstract.I think I could have been good in math if my teacher were to have taken more time to explain it to me. Maybe I needed a different approach to math. In as much as I was weaker in math, I was stronger in art, literature and even biology so there was balance in my subjects and in my marks.9.sportThe sport: golfThe reasons you chose the sports:-good exercise-have fun and relax-play to winI recently took up golf because I though it might be a sport that would be fun and useful. So far, I have discovered that golf requires a lot of time and a lot of walking. This, however, adds to the fun and relaxation of a round of golf. Golf has also taught me to concentrate and to take many factors into account, such as wind and slope. Although I like to play to win, even if I don’t beat my partner, I know I have played well if I have improved my own score. I think by choosing golf I have found a good way to do business in the future as well as have fun learning it now.10.giftThe gift: music boxThe reasons you chose the gift:-sentimental-thoughtful-usefulMy favorite gift is a music box. It has a great amount of sentimental value. It was given to me as a gift for my first dance recital with my ballet class. I was only seven years old and my family planned a dinner celebration. At the table, my father presented me with a little jewelry box. When I opened it, music played and a small plastic pink ballerina burned in a mirror. My family knew how much I loved balletand understood my dream of becoming a ballet dancer. I didn’t become a ballet dance, but I still use my favorite gift because it reminds me of my parent’s thoughtfulness. 11.MottoThe motto: honesty is the best policyThe reasons you chose the motto:-personal philosophy-easier to live with-overall moral goodMy motto is “honesty is the best policy” because life is easier when we tell the truth.I have felt this way ever since I read the story of Pinocchio, the little marionette whose wooden nose grew whenever he told a lie. It just seems better to deal with the truth. As a result, there are no surprises or stories that don’t match up. It also helps people treat themselves with more self-respect and in turn, others will treat them in a more dignified manner. Lying to others is lying to oneself. If everyone were honest, we would all fell better in our personal lives and in dealing at work.12.CriticismThe criticism: how I lookedThe reasons you chose this:-lazy, careless in my attitude-attracting undesirable people-but appearance did not mean everythingWhen I was in school, I was criticized because of how I looked. I had long hair of many colors – often a mix of black, blond and blue. My clothes were big and baggy; nobody saw my shoes because my pants were so long and dragged on the ground. I felt comfortable in this way. It was a way of expressing my feelings about the world around me. However, my family didn’t agree with this. They said it made me look lazy and careless in my attitude. People thought I didn’t care about my parents either. They were worried about me and about my appearance attracting undesirable people.I know they were just trying to show their love to me. I was the top student in my class, so to me, looks and appearance didn’t mean everything.13.Embarrassing MomentThe moment: sending an email by mistakeThe reasons you chose this moment-careless moment-revealed personal information-lost people’s trustMy most embarrassing moment came when I recently sent an email careless to the wrong person. A friend revealed personal information to me in an email and asked for my advice. At first, I concentrated on answering him, but then the phone rang and I mistakenly sent it off on another friend in my address book. I sent off a friend’s confession about how he had cheated on his girlfriend, not once, but twice in the sameday. The friend who received it happed to be a good friend of the guy’s girlfriend. In this one embarrassing moment I careless revealed private details and might have lost the trust of both friends. I also revealed my stupidity and lack of care –personally very embarrassing.14.GameThe game: skippingThe reasons you chose the game:-nostalgia-group singing-regular recess activityIn the schoolyard I liked skipping as a child because everyone could be included in the same game at the same time. The older girls at school taught us all the songs. Every time we had recess we would all run out to the yard and take turns turning the rope and all the other girls would sing and jump in and out together. We were together singing songs and exercising; it was a lot of fun. As we grew up and got to be the older girls, we would teach the songs we learned. Skipping was a schoolyard activity that we could all enjoy together and pass on to younger students.15. ColorThe reasons you chose the color:-happy color-looks good on me-goes with all my outfitsIn my closet I have clothes of many colors but my favorite color is pink. Pink strikes me as such a happy color. For this reason I feel that I always look good and I feel good when I wear pink. When it is rainy in the winter, I like to wear my pink silk and wool sweater. It makes me feel so warm inside. Pink appears in separate pieces of clothing as well as in some of my accessories such as scarves, hairpins and belts. Gradually I have added pieces to my collection of clothes but they all go together with each other and with the color pink. My wardrobe is coordinated around a color that both flatters me and makes me feel good.16.IngredientThe ingredient: ground meatThe reasons you chose the ingredient-cheap and easy to buy-suit a lot of recipes-stores wellThe most useful ingredient in my fridge for cooking at home is ground meat because it is inexpensive and suitable for many recipes.

Sometimes I use ground meat to make a meat sauce for pasta and then there are meals when I stir fry it intovegetables and put it all on a bed of rice. I even use it in soups. It can be fried, grilled and baked in hundreds of different recipes. Meatloaf is just one of the dishes I can prepare ahead of time with ground meat to have ready for company or when I am busy. Ground meat is the most useful ingredient because it doesn’t cost a lot and cook easily for freshly made meals or to store in freezer for later use.17.HobbyThe hobby: model airplane buildingThe reasons you chose the hobby:-like to work alone and figure out the parts-learn about engineering-touch adventure and historyI like building model airplanes as my hobby because it gives me a change of pace from my busy schedule. I have been building model airplanes since I was 10, when my father gave me one as my birthday present. It takes time and concentration to match and glue the small parts and although some people don’t have the patience to do this, I find it very relaxing. Each model teaches me about design and engineering. Sometimes I go to a club where there are others who share my interests. This hobby lets me touch a bit of history and I can imagine the adventure of the original flyers.。
