托福口說高分範例 (三) 

托福聽力第二大題為 choice類型，問題內容主要為 This question asks the test taker to make and defend a personal choice between two contrasting behaviors or courses of action.其實對於這種沒有絕對答案的內容，其實往往仰賴的是考生到底有沒有辦法在短時間內就思考完整的回答內容與架構，一開始可以參考高分的回答範文內容，去對比自己腦海中就該問題思考出的回答內容，到底兩者差異在何處? 在不斷地自我檢討過程中，會逐漸熟練考題之外，也會在不知不覺中調整思維和架構。

TASK 1.  Whether parents should lead their children to watch TV or the children should choose.

Example：I think parents should lead their children to watch TV. First of all, according to some statistics, most of the children don’t have the ability to distinguish fantasy and reality in front of the advertisement in TV, so children are not mature enough to realize which TV programs are suit for them. Without a proper guide, children may have been misled by some unhealthy TV programs. Moreover, parents play an important role in helping children distinguish true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugly by comparing the situation in TV programs and reality,. Besides, parents are also responsible for preventing children from being obsessed in watching TV.

TASK 2. Should the university education be free?

Example：I don’t agree with the statement about university education for free. First of all, although it is a right for every student who needs education to enter into universities no matter he/she is rich or poor but free education can cause tension on teaching resources and available facilities. Without any charge of tuition for college students,  universities will suffer a great budget and resources pressure. So under this circumstance, an essential measure should be taken by government such as intensify education funding to meet the demand of universities. Therefore I don’t think it’s wise to make university education for free but it is accessible for university to cut tuition. 

TASK 3. Do you agree or disagree: ”The most important lesson can’t be learned in class.”

Example： I agree to the statement that the most important lesson cannot be learned in class. The lesson we have learn in class is some basic knowledge and basic academic skills. What we learn in the society is much more practical and important as well. For example, you will never learn how to deal with the relationship among co-workers in classroom, but it is crucial to manage this kind of relationship if you want to survive in the fierce competition in a company. And this kind of skill could only be taught in the society.

TASK 4.  The most efficient transportation in your country.

Example：The most efficient transportation in my country, I’d say, is subway. Compared with cars and other transportations, subway is mostly convenient. It almost covers every corner in our city. And second, it has high speed compared with bicycle, you don’t have to worry about your time, traffic jam and parking space. What’s more, subway is more eco-friendly than car, it has nothing to do with air pollution at all. So frankly speaking, subway is the best transportation for you in china.

TASK 5. Describe a book that you believe is the most useful to you. Please explain the reason and include specific examples and details in your explanation.      

The most important book for me is my undergraduate major textbook which is called marketing. Because as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so it broadens my knowledge scope, such as the aspects of advertising and trade. On the other hand, well, a plenty of cases are included in this book, in addition, many definitions can explained very acceptable so it definitely helps me to get a deeply understanding of my major.      

The most useful book for me is the English dictionary. Firstly, many English words have more than one meaning and always confuse me. The dictionary can help me get over by offering many detailed explanations and examples. In addition, I can also learn how to apply the new words into writing and speaking by studying the examples earnestly. Furthermore, I can learn a lot of knowledge beside new words. For example, it is very likely that a good dictionary illustrate a specific animal or plant with a picture. Thus, we get more information out of the dictionary.   

TASK 6. What do you think students should do during their vacations?      

Students might have many choices to spend a vacation as long as they can make the vacation time interesting or helpful. For example, you can visit your families or friends, go to concerts or do many other things for relaxation. You can also plan a trip to the city or somewhere you are longing for, which will help to broaden your view and knowledge. Furthermore, you can also choose to have a vacation internship, and the experience will increase your income as well as make you familiar with the society. So there is never lack of choices.

TASK 7. What kinds of features of cafes or restaurants do you like?      

Actually, when I go to a restaurant or café I only care about some basic features. First of all, the most important thing I concern with is the sanitary condition. It’s directly related to consumers’ health. You will feel uncomfortable to sit down in a dirty house and use the dirty dishware. In addition, I think a good service is also necessary. I don’t want to wait for a meal for a long time and the waiter/waitress shouldn’t give you a cold face at least. Besides, the taste of foods provided also plays a crucial role for me to judge a restaurant or café.
