托福板的板友大家好，這次助教要來分享＜最新小範圍口說範例＞，內容全都是字神高原老師親自撰寫，希望對大家有幫助哦^^ 更多口說範例請見TOEFL學習團：https://goo.gl/CCJlw4 -- 1. Which of the following inventions do you think has made the greatest impact on people in your country, the airplane, the computer, or the television? Please include specific reasons and examples to support your choice. Sample Answer In my opinion, the computer has changed people’s life in my country most significantly because every job in my country now requires a certain level of proficiency in computers and a lot of work in our society has been computerized. For instance, my uncle became unemployed after his previous company decided to computerize all the accounting work. There used to be seven people working in that department but now only one is needed because eighty percent of the work can be done by the computer. Many people here are struggling with their survival because they haven’t had the opportunity to catch up with the information technology. Therefore, I believe the computer has brought the greatest impact to people in our society. 2. Some people believe that talking with other people is the key to success in college. Others believe observing others in silence is better. What is your opinion and why? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation. Sample Answer Personally, I think talking with other people is the key to success in college because we can learn more about ourselves and the people around us only though communicating with them. For instance, when I was in college, I was very active in networking and went to lots of social gatherings on campus. In my first year, I not only made friends with lots of students but also got to know many professors well. These people offered me life-changing advice whenever I was lost and I was able to thrive in college thanks to all the help they gave me. More importantly, I also understood myself better as I talked with these people. Therefore, I believe talking with others in school is crucial to one’s success. 3. 閱讀：學校要擴建theater（proposal of adding seats in the Anderson Theater）理由(一)座位不夠，很多show是學生們想去但買不了票的； (二)賣票給學校提供經濟來源。聽力：女生反對。理由(一)大部分show都有位子，沒見到幾次能坐滿的，多數時間很多空座，所以沒需要加seats； (二)建造費用太大（這是big investment, construction cost a lot），賣票幾年也不夠回本呀。 Sample Answer The university is planning to add more seats in the Anderson Theater on campus and the woman in the conversation opposes this proposal. First, the university believes that there aren’t sufficient seats in the theater and a lot of students have been unable to go to the shows they’d like to see because they can’t get a seat. According to the woman, however, most shows at the theater are not sold out and have empty seats available, so it’s unnecessary to add more seats in the theater. Besides, the university would like to use the additional income from selling more tickets at the theater to fund itself. The woman in the conversation also disagrees with this idea because the construction at the theater is a big investment and it will take a long time for the university to recoup the construction cost. Thus, the woman disapproves the new plan. 4. 閱讀：自我心理暗示（internal attribution）有正負兩方面的作用，負面的認為自己做不好；正面的則起到積極作用。聽力：教授舉了自己的一個例子，他曾經有一份internship 在 newspaper 裡面做 organizer，整理文檔之類的，第一周總做不好，他覺得自己不擅長文檔方面的整理，這是負面的心理暗示；但他並沒有怪老闆或同事，而是責怪自己，這是正面的心理暗示起了作用，他告訴自己仍需要改進，於是更加努力的工作，慢慢地，他看到了成效，自己也能將文檔整理的很好。 Sample Answer The term “internal attribution” refers to the act of looking inwards in oneself for the causes of a certain situation and the process can create both positive and negative effects. The professor uses his personal experience as an example to show how internal attribution upsets but improves us at the same time. When then professor was an intern at a newspaper agency, he wasn’ t able to file or organize the documents very well. Then he thought he wasn’ t good at this type of work; in other words, he attributed the bad outcome internally to himself instead of blaming other external factors such as his supervisor or coworkers. Internal attribution made him feel bad about himself but also motivated him to do better. He realized that there was still room for improvement and eventually, he found himself doing a great job organizing and filing the documents. 5. 兩個學生在聊天，男生說他寒假要留學校幫教授出書吧，但是他是籃球隊的隊員，所以學校體育館寒假關門讓他很困擾。 solution 1：去城鎮的gym買一個月的會員然後運動，但是一個月75元太貴了； solution 2：自己在外面跑步，但是天氣太冷了。問題：複述同學遇到的困難和解決方法，然後說一個你的看法。 Sample Answer There man in the conversation is going to work on a new book with a professor during the winter break but he won’t be able to use the gym on campus during the break. He can either buy a one-month membership at a local gym in downtown or go jogging outside on the streets. In my opinion, it is better for the man to jog on the streets. First, if he chooses to work out at a local gym, the membership fee will be seventy-five dollars, which is too expensive for a college student. It’s always a priority for a college student to learn to be financially responsible. Second, if he jogs outdoors, he won’t have to spend any money at all and can enjoy the fresh air outside. He can always put on extra layers of clothes if the weather is too cold for him and his body will warm up quickly as he starts exercising. For these reasons, I think running outdoors is better for the man. 6-3. marine biology。海底魚會發光其實是一種ability to survive，有兩種自衛方式，各舉一個例子：第一，突然強光。deep-sea shrimp，牠會在掠食者靠近牠的時候，用嘴巴發出白光，讓掠食者temporary blind，趁機游走；第二，持續發光constant。 hatchetfish牠發光的位置在胃部，因為牠生存的環境，發光讓牠顯得是陽光穿過海面，而掠食者shark是靠追蹤黑影dark shadow來補食，牠持續發光能迷惑hunter，就不會顯露出黑影讓掠食者發現。題目：描述這兩個動物怎麼利用自身發光躲避捕食者。 Sample Answer In the lecture, the professor talks about two forms of bioluminescence in deep sea creatures to avoid predation, including sudden light-spewing and counter-illumination. In the professor’s first example, the deep-sea shrimp is capable of spewing illuminating chemicals into its surrounding water from its mouth when a predator is near. By doing so, the deep-sea shrimp can make its predator become temporarily blind and escape from danger. In the second example, the hatchetfish has been observed to glow constantly. The light is generated from its stomach and the hatchetfish is able to match its light intensity with the sunlight penetrating the water from above, which is known as counter-illumination. Its predator, the shark, always tracks down its prey by identifying dark shadows under the penetrating sunlight. With the ability of counter-illumination, the hatchetfish can avoid being seen by sharks from below. -- TOEFL學習團托福JJ情報資源、問題探討、考試情報交流 https://goo.gl/yr0NPS GMAT學習團每月GMAT數學、閱讀、邏輯機經整理、問題探討、考試情報交流 https://goo.gl/GYbTNs GRE學習團 GRE機經整理、情報資源、問題探討、考試情報交流 https://goo.gl/t9rQTD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 220.135.2.166 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TOEFL_iBT/M.1433385403.A.603.html ※ 編輯: liamasso (220.135.2.166), 06/04/2015 10:40:59
