托福口說高分範例 (二) 

聽力第一大題為personal preference，針對問題內容主要為This question asks the test taker to express and defend a personal choice from a given category ---- for example, important role or places, or events or activities that the test taker enjoys.所以就這個部分的答案其實沒有一致性，主要是考生回答的內容架構是否合乎美式邏輯思維及有無舉例說明，另外就是語順、音調正確與否的問題，這不外乎就是大量練習。

TASK 1. Is it important for students to attend class regularly or study by oneself?

Example：I do not think it is necessary for students to attend class regularly. Cuz the situations vary from person to person. For example, some students are good at math but poor at English, in my opinion, he/she should skip some of the math classes and using the extra time improving his/her English. Moreover, there are some students can not concentrate in classroom because it is very noisy with too many students in it. For them, studying in a library on their own would be more efficient. If they have any questions, they could solve them simply by asking professors during office hours face to face.

TASK 2. Characteristics of friends

   Example：In my opinion a good friend should have the following qualities: supportive and caring.  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. They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade. They can make me feel a definite sense of trust. Then he/she should be very caring. When I am suffering hard times, or confronting difficulties, he/she can give me a hand and help me overcome the troubles. Also, I’d love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around.

TASK 3. Do you agree that we can judge a person by the appearance at the first glance?

Example：I don’t agree with the statement that one can judge a person simply by the appearance at the first glance. However, a first impression is very important. For example, if you would like to employ a position at a company, the interviewers would judge you by the appearance at the first glance, cuz they do not have a plenty of time to understand you. In the contrary, there is saying goes Time will tell a person’s real character, so only judge a person from one side is problematic.

TASK 4. What do you miss most when you are away from home? 

Example：It is my parents whom I miss most when I am away from home, for example, I usually lodging in the university. I miss the food my parents cook for me, and I miss their laugh. In the university, I have to handle problems by my own efforts, by my own decision at most of the time, it definitely improves my independent ability. What the most important of all, to be frank, I deeply understand their pain about life. Thus, I miss them a lot.

TASK 5.Take a long vacation or several short vacations in a year?

  Example：In my opinion, I definitely prefer to take a long vacation instead of several short ones. If the vacation is as long as about two month, I can separate it into two parts. In the first part, I will go abroad, visiting the place I have dreamed all the time,for example yellow stone park. When I get back, I still have one or two weeks to have a rest before go back to work. So I would not be very tired and be able to keep energetic while working.

TASK 6.Which one do you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books?

  Example：As far as I am concerned, relying on academic books is a best way to do research. What I want to say is the internet could serve as a starting point, helps you to zero in the material you need, but that you would almost certainly have to access other sources to do the research well such as the academic books. Cuz academic books have more detail information you need, on the contrary, internet only has a brief abstraction and most of the time, you should pay to get the good stuff.

TASK 7.Someone suggests school to cut the Recycling.

  Example：I tend to disagree with cutting the recycling in school. Firstly, recycling can remind students of the importance of environmental  protection. With a recycling system, students will discard garbage into the special recycling garbage boxes instead of throw them away randomly in campus. In addition, school can employ workers to deal with the garbage regularly, it can also provide a job chance for people with low-income. So for these two reasons, I support that the recycling in school should continue.

TASK 8.  Do you prefer to study alone on work assignment from class or to study in group?

Example： In my opinion, I would prefer to study in a group on work assignment from class.  Cuz firstly, working in a group means we can have partners to cooperate with and that will increase the working efficiency. Besides, we can discuss with each other, with the purpose of expand our scope of knowledge. Finally, we can encourage each other to attain the goal especially when there are difficulties. Of course, the process of cooperation could develop our sense of teamwork and team spirit.
