托福口說高分範例 (五) 

托福口說相對來說是托福考試中比較難準備的其中一部分，考試中很容易因為時間影響了情緒進而影響到了考試狀況，所以平常一定要多練習讓腦中的想法可以自然而然的轉成英文表達，而不是讓腦中想法很多卻有嘴說不出，這就變得很可惜。

TASK 1. Describe your favorite book you read, and explain why it is important to you. Include reasons and examples to support your response.     

Of all the wonderful books, The Greatest Salesman in the World is the book that I can never put it down and had a transforming effect on my life.    

It is such a kind of book that inspires, that offers practical tips about goals, habits, productivity and more. To be specific, it‘s a book about how to empower and motivate yourself to be successful。Many, many people have read this book and many of them have reported life-changing results from the positive concepts contained within it. They are pretty inspiring. It surely is something that I can depend on when I‘m in adversity. The principals are powerful and really work for me.

In this case, I think the book is very important to me even though it might not work for some other people.

TASK 2. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful.

    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.

TASK 3. Does television play a positive or negative role in the modern world?     

Television is now playing a very important part in our life. Like other things, it has both advantages and disadvantages. But I think the former outweigh the latter.   

First , television keeps one informed of current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers programs which are both instructive and entertaining.  

Second, it is a great comfort to many lonely people even though there are many arguments against television.  Last, education has improved a lot since the arrival of TV in the home. Through TV a child  can extend his knowledge and sparkle his imagination. Those above are the reasons why I think television plays a positive role in the modern society.

TASK 4. Describe the most important decision that you’ve made in your life.    

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 challenging and demanding. But I still thought life was wonderful and the world was big.   

Besides, I was always a bit tempestuous and I liked to do things on the spur 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.

TASK 5.Do you think high school should teach music and art as other basic science?

Music and art should be important components of the school curriculum because they have many uses besides recreation. To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages, and physical education.   

Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for developing self-expression and creativity.   

On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value. 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.
