5. 对应的秒数说完对应的话！所以就不能现想，一定是脑中有一个 Map，考场上根据 key 提取大脑中的内容。
6. 如果你是一个中文考试的考官，给成百上千老外说中文的音频打分，你会听的很疲惫，然后会慢慢不再关注内容，直接给那些语音语调好的人打高分。**我们不需要关注内容是不是合理，只要语音好听就赢了**
然后对于独立题，我觉得要准备好自己的语料库，把各种话题（如 time，money，travel，study，sports，delicious food，future plan，health eating 等等等）的语料都打出来或者写出来。有了这个语料之后，你要把他们背的滚瓜烂熟，背到生活中碰到一件事就能哔哔哔说上半天的境界（你可以这样尝试，在家里和爸妈聊天，他们问你吃不吃红烧肉，你就可以说出 "I'm a student who doesn't have regular income which means that Hongshaorou is too expensive for me。It also contains a large amount of fat and it would cause xxx"）。

- 托福口语要回答 Task 1~4，每个题型都有不同要求。在 **24 分以下** 时，普遍问题是回答不够条理，或要点不够完整，导致机器和人工评分认为信息量不足、逻辑不够紧凑。
- **24 分以上** 通常意味着你对题目的要点梳理到位，阐述清楚且符合官方评分细则（如 Task 3/4 中听力、阅读要点的结合；Task 2 的校园公告、Task 1 的个人观点等）。逻辑思路清晰、信息呈现完整是关键。
# 1. 口语逻辑与内容的"深度"与"完整度"
**● 雅思 6.5 vs. 7.0**
- 在 **6.5** 水平时，考官通常已经认可你的基本表达能力，但可能觉得你在内容深度或逻辑衔接上还不够充分。有时回答过于表面，或者对一些更抽象的话题显得"不敢深入"或者观点缺乏支撑。
- 想达到 **7.0**，需要更自如地展开论点，使用多样化的表达方式，并在 Part 3 等抽象讨论部分展现一定的批判性思维或者具体例证。内容要有条理、有递进、有总结或例子支撑。
**● 托福 24 分以下 vs. 24 分以上**
---
# 2. 语法与词汇的"准确性"与"多样性"
**● 准确性**
- 达到 6.5~7.0 或托福24+ 时，不能有过多的"低级"语法错误（时态混用、主谓不一致、冠词/介词乱用等）。零星的小错可以理解，但不能在高频核心语法点上不断出错。
- 词汇用错、搭配异常或明显的中式表达，也会拉低印象分。
**● 多样性**
- 评分标准往往要求"多样化"——多种时态、从句结构、关联词使用自然。
- 词汇不要一直停留在最基础层面，多尝试用一些同义替换、少见但地道的短语，让表达更丰富（但不要一味"炫词"或用生僻词）。
**► 突破方式**
1. **针对"常错语法"做集中强化**：整理自己最常出错的时态、冠词、单复数、动词搭配等，分门别类专项击破。
2. **准备一些"高级但常用"的句式**：如定语从句、状语从句、让步/条件/对比等结构，先写下来，进行口头熟练化；在正式表达时若能灵活应用，就能给考官留下较好印象。
3. **语料输入与输出相结合**：多听/读地道材料（如官方范例、外文演讲、Podcast 等），挑选适合自己的表达积累下来，并在口语输出时主动用几次，才能从被动词汇变成主动词汇。

- 我同意朋友是我生活中最重要影响因素的说法。首先,我从朋友那里学会了如何社交。当我刚进入公司时,我是个独行侠。我不懂基本的社交规则。我的一个朋友莉莉安给了我很多关于如何在老板面前表现以及在同事面前说什么的建议。其次,朋友是我的好听众。很多时候,我因为一些挫折感到无助和痛苦,我就去找我的朋友。他们会坐在我面前,听我抱怨或咒骂,然后安慰我。这些是我的父母或其他亲戚无法给予我的。
- 我完全同意这个说法。学校不仅仅是让孩子学习数学、物理或化学的地方。孩子们需要学习一些实用和有用的技能。比如,如果孩子们能在学校学习烹饪,他们不仅学到了基本的生存技能,还学到了一项可以帮助他们变得更有社交能力的技能。在聚会上,孩子们可以为朋友做饭。在家里,孩子们可以为父母和亲戚做饭。此外,如果孩子们能在学校学习个人理财,他们将学会如何规划他们的零用钱,养成良好的消费习惯。因此,我认为应该要求儿童学习实用技能。
- 我更喜欢独自度过空闲时间,进行阅读、思考和写作等活动。我非常珍惜我的空闲时间,因为那是我可以做任何我喜欢的事情的时间。我喜欢阅读和写作。通过阅读书籍,一些杰作,我感觉自己在与那些伟大的作家和大师对话。我喜欢《鲁滨逊漂流记》、《男孩的生活》和《麦田里的守望者》这样的精彩故事。通过写作,我可以记录下生活中有意义的时刻和想法。此外,我还可以写自己的故事。每次我完成一个故事,我都感到很棒,渴望让别人读到它。通过阅读和写作,我可以更好地理解我的生活。只有独处时,我才能阅读、写作和思考。
- 我不同意这个说法。我认为学生从小班级中获益比从大班级中获益更多。首先,大班级里有很多学生,通常是在一个大讲堂里。老师或讲师总是专注于自己的主题。其中的互动不如小班级多。在小班级里,学生可以进行讨论。此外,学生可以得到老师更多的关注,因此有更多机会表达自己。其次,在大班级里,如果有一个学生不理解某个点,他或她可能会落后,而在小班级里,老师会关注每个学生,所以没有人会落后。
- 我想我是个独特的人,因为人们常说男孩不喜欢为了快乐而购物。但对我来说,我喜欢在生活中遇到困难和挣扎时买很多食物,比如当我在期末考试中得到很低分时,那时我会在超市或购物中心买一些食物,我会感到很多快乐并享受其中。我会拿出一些钱在短时间内买一些食物。有时我可以艰难地抓住它,有时当我借那些我不需要的食物时,我会感到很多快乐和成就感。
- 我绝对同意这个说法,原因如下。首先,很多幼儿因为吃太多糖果和垃圾食品而患病。统计数据显示,每年被诊断为肥胖的幼儿越来越多,因为他们摄入了太多不健康的食物。像糖果和垃圾食品这样的食物还会导致其他问题,这些都对儿童的健康和成长有害。其次,电视上的糖果和垃圾食品广告对幼儿的食物选择有非常负面的影响。孩子们很容易受到他们在电视上看到的东西的影响。例如,我8岁的侄子一直要求他的父母买这个新品牌的糖果,因为他前几天在电视上看到了。广告本身充满了可爱的卡通人物开心地嚼着糖果,这对我的侄子来说看起来很有吸引力。因此,我认为,如果电视上播放更多健康食品的广告,孩子们会受到影响,做出更健康的食物选择。
- 就我而言,我认为虽然父母应该参与孩子选择大学的过程,但他们不应该决定孩子上哪所大学。首先,孩子们有自己的喜好和兴趣。我的意思是,当他们即将上大学时,他们已经长大成人,知道如何做选择。所以父母不能决定他们是上一所小学院还是大学,或者是在家乡附近上学还是在远离家乡的城市上学。其次,孩子们更有可能享受自己选择的大学生活,这实际上对他们的未来是一件好事。
- 从我的角度来看,这绝对是个好主意,因为这是激励孩子的好方法。我以前常因洗碗而得到父母的报酬。虽然他们给我的钱不多,但我真的开始期待做家务。因此,这些"小服务费"真的推动我参与琐碎的任务。此外,孩子们会有机会管理自己的储蓄。对我来说,我对自己拥有一定数量的钱感到非常兴奋,并学会把它存起来用于不同的事情:无论是用它来小额购物还是把钱存在银行。
- 就我个人而言,我更喜欢在有其他人在场的地方学习。首先,我可以被周围人的勤奋所激励。例如,我一直在大学图书馆准备托福考试。每次当我对需要记忆的无尽词汇感到疲惫并想放弃时,我都会看看周围正在学习的人。他们中的大多数人已经不间断地学习了几个小时。看着他们,我感到受到鼓舞和重新充满能量。其次,如果我在周围有其他人的地方学习,我总是可以向他们寻求帮助。比如有一次,我被一道数学题卡住了。我已经研究了半个小时却无法解决。然后,我向坐在我旁边的一个女孩求助。她在2分钟内帮我解决了问题,这真的为我节省了很多时间。
- 我宁愿买新鲜食材自己做饭。首先,已经准备好的食物会比原材料贵得多,因为现在劳动力成本不断上涨。而准备这些食材并不会花费我们太多时间。其次,有时别人准备的食材可能不健康,甚至对我们的健康有害,因为在加工过程中会添加添加剂和防腐剂。这些物质被用来使食物看起来仍然处于良好状态。如果我们买原材料并自己处理,我们可以避免这种坏东西。所以,相比购买加工食品,自己准备食物更好。
- 我真的不认为大学的学术声誉是学生选择大学时应考虑的决定性因素。相信这一点的人一定认为学术声誉是一个人发展或成功的唯一要素,但他们忽视了大学教育中其他有助于一个人成功的部分,比如社交生活、各种校园活动和整体氛围。如果一所大学有很好的学术声誉但氛围hostile,一些学生可能会感到沮丧和受挫,因此在大学里less motivated to work hard to achieve something。我猜,那会浪费他们的college tuition and time。
- 虽然有些人可能会说,禁止私家车进入大城市市中心是解决大城市繁忙交通的好办法,但我不认为这听起来很好,因为在人们确实需要开车的情况下,这将会非常不方便。例如,如果发生紧急情况,我们需要开车送人去医院,或者如果某天我快要上班迟到了,没有足够的时间乘坐公共交通。此外,当我们从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,乘坐公共交通几乎是不可能的。再者,完全禁止私家车进入市中心可能会导致其他地区的交通状况恶化,因为人们将不得不选择其他方式到达目的地。
- 这绝对更困难了。现在快餐随处可见,我忍不住要进那些提供炸鸡、汉堡和披萨的餐厅。当我不知道午餐吃什么时,我会去学校旁边的麦当劳。我不得不承认,它们真的很好吃,我永远不会对牛肉汉堡套餐感到厌倦。然而,在过去,选择并不这么多。大多数赚取普通工资的人会在家做饭,通常这样更健康——至少食物不会那么油腻,而且蔬菜会比肉多。所以我认为现在吃健康食品变得更加困难了。
- 嗯,我的观点是,我绝对同意印刷材料永远不会被电子版本取代的观点。我想说的第一个也是最重要的原因是,像书籍和报纸这样的印刷材料实际上是一种遍及全世界的文化,代表了我们祖先的智慧。此外,尽管现在电子设备很方便,但它的屏幕对我们的眼睛有害,我们不应该盯着它看太久。而且它还会有辐射。所以为了我们的健康,这就是为什么我坚持认为印刷材料将永远受欢迎。
- 我宁愿选择长报告而不是演讲。一个原因是对我来说,我不喜欢在公众面前讲话。在公众面前讲话意味着我必须多次背诵我的话并反复练习,因为我害怕站在舞台上时忘记我想说的话。第二个原因是我认为写一份长报告会比只准备一次演讲让我学到更多知识。为了完成一份报告,我需要做大量研究并仔细组织我的论文。所以我会选择长报告作为我的作业。
- 我同意对学生来说阅读虚构作品比非虚构作品更有乐趣的说法。一个原因是当学生阅读虚构故事时,他们会在脑海中形成相关的图像。例如,当他们阅读《了不起的盖茨比》时,他们需要想象盖茨比豪宅的奢华场景。第二个原因是阅读小说可以帮助学生学习一些有用的叙事技巧。例如,学生可以学习闪回的方法并在自己的创作中使用它。这就是为什么我认为对学生来说阅读小说更有乐趣。
- 我同意如果老师和蔼可亲,学生会学到更多。首先,善良的老师会赢得学生的爱戴和尊重。就像俗话说的:"爱屋及乌。"学生会更愿意在课堂上听他们喜欢的老师讲课。其次,当学生面对困难的问题时,他们更有可能去问那些他们认为对他们好的老师。如果他们认为某个老师是一个严厉和脾气暴躁的人,他们会避免问他问题。所以善良友好的老师实际上可以帮助学生学到更多知识。
- 毫无疑问,小学生应该学习如何用手写字,因为电脑持续阻碍人们在社会中的交流。首先,用手写东西可能是我们训练大脑的关键方式。更重要的是,书写帮助儿童学习字母和形状,提高他们的想法组织能力,还可能促进精细运动技能的发展。
- 有些人可能认为他们只需要非全日制上大学,但我不同意。我不明白大学生如果不全日制上课怎么能期望学到任何东西。首先,在大学里他们优先获得教授知识的好处。最好的教授所做的不仅仅是复述教科书上的内容。此外,上任何科目的课都教授的不仅仅是事实。它教学生如何学习,如何吸收信息,然后将所学应用到其他情况。个人经历可以帮助人们了解自己和课堂外的世界,但当涉及到学习学术科目时,学生需要在大学里待更长时间。最后,如果你只是非全日制上大学,那么你将错过重要的活动和结交朋友的机会。很难跟上他人的步伐。所以,我会选择全日制上大学。
- 与住在城市相比,我更愿意住在乡村。原因如下。首先,住在乡村意味着我们可以欣赏到更健康的环境。如今,住在城市的人不得不忍受由高速工业发展造成的空气和水污染。其次,我们可以在乡村享受慢节奏的生活。在大城市里,行人总是走得很快,似乎他们不愿意停下来。但有了乡村轻松的生活方式,他们就不必应对工作和生活带来的高压。所以住在那里会舒服得多。这就是为什么我更喜欢住在乡村。
- 我认为,这笔钱应该用于娱乐而不是学术目的。理由如下。首先,大学生活可能真的很有压力,学生每天有很多课程和作业,所以看一些电影或音乐会可以对他们产生很大的好处。帮助他们放松并保持更好的心情。所以这是一个很好的方式来平衡他们的学习和生活。此外,花leisure time做这些娱乐活动会更健康,否则,他们可能会待在宿舍或在图书馆闲逛,这有点无聊,如果大学能举办一些有趣的活动,这将是一种很好的打发时间的方式。
- 我更喜欢百货商店而不是那些小型专卖店。一个原因是我想要的任何东西都可以在大型杂货店买到,所以它是我同时购买连衣裙、上衣、短裤、包和鞋子的理想场所。另一个原因是大型杂货店还可以提供其他娱乐设施。当我感到无聊和疲倦时,我的父母或朋友可以去咖啡厅或餐厅,之后再去看场电影犒劳一下自己。
- 我相信未来人们读书的数量会比现在少。一个显而易见的原因是,快节奏的生活让员工没有太多时间沉浸在广泛的书籍中。另一个原因是,各种娱乐活动,如电子游戏、肥皂剧和户外活动会分散人们的注意力,即使他们在图书馆里也无法专注于学习。
- 是的,我同意这个说法,原因如下。首先,人们比100年前更重视自己的健康。由于人们忙于工作,他们发现有必要在生活和工作之间保持平衡。其次,人们喜欢在空闲时间旅游到不同的地方。因为人们的生活水平有了巨大的提高,他们愿意尽情享受生活。这些就是我认为现在的人比100年前的人有更健康的生活方式的原因。
- 是的,我同意艺术家和音乐家对社会很重要这一说法。我的理由如下。首先,艺术家和音乐家可以通过丰富文化的多样性使社会更加丰富多彩。其次,人们可以从艺术家和音乐家的作品中受益良多。例如,他们可以画一些画或听一些喜欢的音乐来在一天的辛勤工作后好好放松一下。
- 这是一个相当复杂的问题。这真的取决于你交朋友的真正动机。如果你想提升自己,最好是接触广泛的朋友和熟人,因为通过接触更广泛、更多样化的社交网络,你可以在各个方面取得进步,比如你可能有机会遇到比你年长的人,他们可以为你提供他们人生经验的智慧。然而,如果你想宣泄情绪,一个小而亲密的朋友总是更好的选择。当面对你亲密的伙伴时,你只需做你自己,不必太在意你说什么和做什么。你表达和传达的一切都不会伤害你的任何实际利益。这只是一种解脱和放松的方式。因此,与哪种朋友在一起取决于你真正的需求。
- 从我的角度来看,我更喜欢后者。一个明显的优点是,学生能够方便地与专注于同一项目的其他小组成员进行讨论。proximity确实促进了这种讨论。此外,它可能使学生能够与同班更多的人建立关系。如果座位是固定的,学生的社交联系很可能局限于他周围的人。一个典型的例子是,我的侄子在高中被分配坐在前排,一个学期后甚至都叫不出坐在后排的同学的名字。
**Some people like to study in public places where there are other people around. Others prefer to study in places where there are few or no people around. Which kind of place do you prefer? Explain why.**
"Personally speaking, I prefer to study in places where there are other people around. First, I can get motivated by the diligence of people around me. For example, I have been preparing for TOEFL in the library in my college. Every time, I get tired with the endless vocabulary I need to memorize and feel like giving up, I look at people who are studying around me. Most of them have been studying really hard for hours without even a rest. By looking at them, I feel inspired and reenergized. Second, I can always ask other people for help if I study somewhere with other people around. Like one time, I was stuck with a math question. I had been working on it for half an hour and couldn't figure it out. Then, I turned to a girl sitting next to me for help. She helped me solve the problem in 2 minutes, which really saved me a lot of time. "
**Some people buy food that is already prepared. Other people buy fresh food and prepare meals themselves. Which do you prefer? Explain why, using details and examples in your answer.**
I would rather buy fresh food and prepare it myself. First, food which is already prepared will be much more expensive than raw material because labor cost keeps increasing nowadays. And prepare those food material won't cost us too much time. Second, sometimes food material prepared by others can be unhealthy or even harmful to our health, because additive and preservative will be added into food during the process. These substance are used to make food look like it is still in good conditions. If we buy raw material and handle it ourselves, we can avoid this kind of bad things. So prepare food ourselves is better compared with getting processed food.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A university's academic reputation is the most important thing a student should consider in deciding which universtiy to attend. Use examples and details to support your opinion.**
Well, I really don't think that a university's academic reputation is the deciding factor a student should consider while choosing a university.Someone who believes in it must have assumed that academic reputation is the only element for a person's development or success, but they overlook the fact that there're other parts of university education that helps one to succeed, like the social life, the various campus activities and general atmosphere.If a university has a great academic reputation but a hostile atmosphere, some students may become depressed and frustrated, and therefore less motivated to work hard to achieve something in college. That, I guess, would be a waste of their college tuition and time.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?****Private car should not be allowed in the city centers of large cities.****Use details and examples to explain your opinion.**
Although some people might say that banning private cars in downtown area would be a great solution for busy traffic in big cities, I don' t think it sounds so great because it would be really inconvenient under situations when people do need to drive. For example, if emergencies happen and we need to drive someone to the hospital, or if some day I' m almost late for work and don' t have enough time to take public transportation. Also, when we' re moving from place to place, it would be nearly impossible to take public transportation. Plus, completely banning private cars in downtown might cause traffic situations in other areas since people will have to choose alternative ways to reach their destinations.
**Do you think that eating healthy food is easier or more difficult today than it was 40 or 50 years ago? Use examples and details to support your answer.**
It' s definitely more difficult. Now that fast food is everywhere, I can' t help myself from going into those restaurants that serve fried chicken, burgers and pizza. When I don' t know what to eat for lunch, I would reach for McDonald' s next to my school. I have to admit that they' re really tasty, and I can never go wrong with a beef burger combo. However, in the past, there weren' t this many choices. Most people who earn a regular salary would cook at home, and it' s usually healthier—at least the food wouldn' t be so greasy, and there would be more vegetables rather than meat. So I think it is becoming more difficult to eat healthy food right now.
**Some people think that materials printed on paper, such as books and newspapers, will one day be replaced by electronic versions of those materials. Others believe that printed materials will always be popular. Which point of view do you agree with? Explain why.**
Well, in my opinion, I would definitely agree with the point that printed materials will never be replaced by the electronic ones. The first reason and also the most important one I wanna say is that, printed materials like books and newspapers actually are a kind of culture throughout the whole world which represents the wisdom of our ancestors. What's more, although electronic devices are convenient nowadays, the screen of it is bad for our eyes, we should never stare it for too long. And it'll have radiation too. So for the sake of our health, that's why I insist that the printed materials will always be popular.
**If you were given the choice of a school or work assignment, would you prefer to write a long report or give a speech in front of a large group of people? Use details and examples to explain your choice.**
I would rather to choose the long report rather than a speech. One reason is as for me, I don't like speak in public. Speaking in public means I have to recite my words lots of time and practice repeatedly for I'm afraid to forget what I want to say when I'm standing on the stage. Second reason is I think writing a long report will help me learn more knowledge than just prepare a speech. To finish a report I need to research a lot and carefully organize my paper. So I will choose a long report as my assignment.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?It is more enjoyable for students to read works of fiction (such as novels and stories) than nonfiction. Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.**
I agree with the statement that it is more enjoyable for students to read fiction than nonfiction. One reason is when students are reading fiction stories, they will form relevant pictures in their mind. For example, when they are reading The Great Gatsby, it is necessary for them to shape the luxury situation of Gatsby's mansion. Second reason is reading fictions can help students to learn some useful narrative techniques. For example students can learn the method of flashbacks and use it in their own creation. This is why I think it is more enjoyable for students to read fiction.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students will learn more if the teachers is kind and friendly. Use specific examples and details to support opinion.**
I agree that students will learn more if teachers are kind and friendly. First, kind teachers will gain students' love and respect. Just as the old saying goes: "Love me, love my dog." Students will be more willing to listen to the teachers they like in class. Second, when students are faced with difficult questions, they are more likely to ask teachers they consider nice to them. If they regard one teacher as a strict and bad-tempered person, they will avoid asking him questions. So kind and friendly teachers can actually help students to learn more knowledge.
**Some people believe that primary schools should no longer teach children how to write by hand, and instead should spend time teaching them how to type on a computer. Other people believe that it is still important for schools to teach children to have good handwriting. Which point of view do you agree with? Explain why.**
It is unquestionable that primary students should learn how to write by hand, as computer continues barriers to people's communication in the society. Firstly, writing things out by hand may be a critical way we train our brains. What's more, handwriting helps children learn letters and shapes, improves their composition of ideas, and may also boost fine-motor skills development.
**Some students attend college full-time, while others attend college part-time. Which do you think is better? Explain why.**
Some people may believe that they only attend college part-time, but I disagree. I don't understand how university students can expect to learn anything if they don't attend colleges for full-time. First, in college they gain the benefit of the professor's knowledge preferentially. The best professors do more than just go over the material in the textbooks. Also, attending colleges on any subject teaches more than just facts. It teaches students how to learn, how to absorb information and then apply what they've learned to other situations. Personal experience can help people learn about themselves and the world outside the classroom, but when it comes to learning about academic subjects, students need to be in college better for a longer time. At last, if you just attend college for part-time, then you will miss important events and chances to make friends. It is hard to keep the same pace with others. So, I will choose to attend college for full-time
**Some people prefer living in a big city. Other people prefer living in the countryside, away from urban areas. Which do you think is better? Explain why, using specific details in your explanation.**
**Compared to living in a city, I would like to live in the countryside. The reasons are as below.** Firstly, living in the countryside means we can appreciate the healthier environment. Nowadays, people living in city have to suffer the air and water pollution caused by the high speeding development of industry. Secondly, we can enjoy the slow pace of life in the countryside. In big cities, pedestrians are always walking fast and it seems like they would feel unwilling to stop. But with the easy life style of countryside, they don't have to deal with the high pressure resulted from working and living. So it'll be much more comfortable to live there. That's why I prefer to live in the countryside.
**Some people believe it is important for university to provide funding for student entertainment, such as movies or concerts on campus. Others believe that university money should only be used for academic purposes. Which view do you agree with? Explain why.**
In my opinion, the money should be used in entertainment rather than academic purpose. The reasons are as below. To start, college life can be really stressful, students have so many classes and assignments each day, so a little movies or concerts can do a lot good to them. Help them easy up and remain a better mood. So it's a good way to balance their study and life. Furthermore, it'll be healthier to spend their leisure time doing such entertaining things, otherwise, they may stay at their dorm or hang out in the library, which is a little boring, and if the university can hold some interesting events, it'll be a good way to kill time.
**Some people like to shop in large grocery stores and department stores. Other people prefer to shop in small specialty stores or shops. Which do you prefer? Explain why.**
I favor department stores more than those small specialty stores. One reason is that anything I want can be purchased from large grocery stores, so it is an ideal place for me to buy dresses, tops, shorts, bags and shoes at the same time. Another reason is that other entertainment facilities can also be offered by large grocery stores. When I get bored and tired, my parents or friends can go to café or restaurant and treat ourselves with a movie afterwards.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?In the future, people will read fewer books than they do toady.Use specific examples and details to support your opinion**
I believe that people in the future will read fewer books than they do in the present. One obvious reason is that the rapid pace of life allows less time for employees to immerse themselves in a wide range of books. Another reason is that various entertainments such as video games, soap operas and outdoor activities will distract people from focusing on studying, even when they are in library.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?People today have healthier lifestyles than people did 100 years ago.Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.**
Yes, I agree with the statement for the following reasons. Firstly, People attach greater importance to their health than 100 years ago. Since people are busy with their jobs, they find it necessary to keep a balance between life and work. Secondly, people like travelling to different places when they are free. Because people's living standards have increased tremendously, they would like to enjoy life to a great extent. These are the reasons why I think people today have healthier lifestyles than 100 years ago.
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Artists and musicians are important to a society.Use details and examples to explain your answer.**
Yes, I agree with the statement that artists and musicians are significant to a society. My reasons are as follows. Firstly, artists and musicians can make the society more colorful by enriching the variety of culture. Secondly, people can benefit a lot from the works of artists and musicians. For example, they can draw some pictures or listen to some favorite music to have a good relaxation after a day's hardwork.
**Some people like having a wide variety of friends and acquaintances they can spend time with. Others like to spend most of their free time with the same small group of close friends. Which do you prefer? Explain why.**
This is a quite complicated question. It really depends on the very motive behind your making friends. If you want to improve yourself, it is much better to get in touch with a wide range of friends and acquaintances because by having access to a wider and more diverse social network, you could make progress in various aspects, like you may be capable of meeting people who are older than you and they could offer you the wisdom of their life experience. Nevertheless, if you would love to vent your emotions, a small and closer friend is always a better choice. When being in front of your close buddies, you just can be yourself and don't have to care too much about what you say and do. Everything that you express and convey wouldn't hurt any of your practical interest. It's just a way of relief and relaxation. Therefore, to be with which sort of friends is up to your true need.
**Some teachers think that it is important for students to sit in assigned seats, that is, to sit in the same place every day in class.Other teachers think that students should be allowed to choose where they will sit, and they allow them to sit in different seats on different days.Which do you think is better? Explain why**.
From my perspective, I prefer the latter option. One obvious advantage of it is that students are able to have discussions conveniently with other group members who are focusing on the same projects. Proximity do facilitate this kind of discussions. Also, it may enable students to establish relationship with more people in the same class. If the seat is fixed, a student's social connection is very likely to be confined to those around him. A typical case of it is that my nephew who was assigned to sit in the front row in high school, could not even name those sat in the back row after one semester.

## 段落9
有些人喜欢在有其他人在周围的公共场所学习。其他人则更喜欢在很少或没有人的地方学习。你更喜欢哪种地方?解释为什么。
"就个人而言,我更喜欢在有其他人在周围的地方学习。首先,我可以被周围人的勤奋激励。例如,我一直在我大学的图书馆准备托福考试。每次,当我对需要记忆的无穷无尽的词汇感到疲惫,想要放弃时,我会看看周围正在学习的人。他们中的大多数人已经不间断地学习了几个小时。看着他们,我感到受到激励和重新充满能量。其次,如果我在有其他人在周围的地方学习,我总是可以向他们寻求帮助。比如有一次,我被一个数学问题难住了。我已经花了半个小时还没弄明白。然后,我向坐在我旁边的一个女孩寻求帮助。她在2分钟内帮我解决了问题,这真的为我节省了很多时间。"
## 段落10
有些人购买已经准备好的食物。其他人购买新鲜食材并自己准备餐食。你更喜欢哪一种?解释为什么,在你的答案中使用细节和例子。
我更愿意购买新鲜食材并自己准备。首先,已经准备好的食物会比原材料贵得多,因为如今劳动力成本不断上升。而准备这些食材不会花费我们太多时间。其次,有时别人准备的食材可能不健康,甚至对我们的健康有害,因为在加工过程中会添加添加剂和防腐剂。这些物质被用来使食物看起来仍然处于良好状态。如果我们购买原材料并自己处理,我们可以避免这种不好的东西。所以,相比购买加工食品,自己准备食物更好。
## 段落11
你是否同意以下说法?大学的学术声誉是学生在决定上哪所大学时应考虑的最重要的事情。用例子和细节支持你的观点。
嗯,我真的不认为大学的学术声誉是学生选择大学时应该考虑的决定性因素。相信这一点的人一定认为学术声誉是一个人发展或成功的唯一要素,但他们忽视了大学教育中其他有助于一个人成功的部分,比如社交生活、各种校园活动和整体氛围。如果一所大学有很好的学术声誉但氛围不友好,一些学生可能会变得沮丧和沮丧,因此在大学里工作和取得成就的动力会降低。我想,这将浪费他们的大学学费和时间。
## 段落12
你是否同意以下说法?
私家车不应该被允许在大城市的市中心行驶。
用细节和例子解释你的观点。
虽然有些人可能会说,在市中心禁止私家车将是解决大城市繁忙交通的一个很好的方案,但我不认为这听起来很棒,因为在人们确实需要开车的情况下,这将非常不方便。例如,如果发生紧急情况,我们需要开车送某人去医院,或者如果某天我快要迟到了,没有足够的时间乘坐公共交通。此外,当我们从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,乘坐公共交通几乎是不可能的。另外,在市中心完全禁止私家车可能会导致其他地方的交通情况变糟,因为人们将不得不选择其他方式到达目的地。
## 段落13
你认为今天吃健康食品比40或50年前更容易还是更困难?用例子和细节支持你的答案。
这绝对更困难。现在快餐无处不在,我无法控制自己不去那些提供炸鸡、汉堡和披萨的餐厅。当我不知道午餐吃什么时,我会去学校旁边的麦当劳。我不得不承认,它们真的很美味,我对牛肉汉堡套餐从来不会失望。然而,在过去,选择并不这么多。大多数赚普通工资的人会在家做饭,这通常更健康——至少食物不会那么油腻,蔬菜会比肉多。所以我认为现在吃健康食品变得更加困难了。
## 段落14
有些人认为,印刷在纸上的材料,如书籍和报纸,有一天会被这些材料的电子版本所取代。其他人认为,印刷材料将永远受欢迎。你同意哪种观点?解释为什么。
嗯,在我看来,我绝对同意印刷材料永远不会被电子版本取代的观点。我想说的第一个也是最重要的理由是,像书籍和报纸这样的印刷材料实际上是一种全世界的文化,代表了我们祖先的智慧。此外,尽管如今电子设备很方便,但它的屏幕

**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:****Your friends are the most important influence in your life.****Use details and examples to explain your opinion.**
I agree with the statement friends are the most important influence in my life. Firstly, I learned how to be sociable from friends. When I first entered a company, I was a loner. I didn't understand the basic social rules. One of my friends, Lillian, gave me a lot of advice about how to behave in front of the boss and what to say in front of colleagues. Secondly, friends are my good-listeners. Many times I felt helpless and painful because of some frustrations, I went to my friends. They would sit in front of me, listening to my complaints or swear words and then comforted me. These are the things that neither my parents or other relatives can give me.
我同意朋友是我生活中最重要影响的说法。首先,我从朋友那里学会了如何社交。当我刚进入公司时,我是个独行侠。我不懂基本的社交规则。我的一个朋友莉莉安给了我很多关于如何在老板面前表现以及在同事面前说什么的建议。其次,朋友是我的好倾听者。很多时候我因为一些挫折感到无助和痛苦,我就去找我的朋友。他们会坐在我面前,听我抱怨或咒骂,然后安慰我。这些是我的父母或其他亲戚无法给予我的。
### 段落2
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:****Children should be required to learn practical skills in school, such as cooking or personal finance, in addition to academic subjects.****Use details and examples to explain your opinion**
I totally agree with the statement. School isn't just a place for kids to learn math, physics or chemistry. Children need to learn some practical and useful skills. Like, if children can learn cooking at school, they not only learn the basic survival skill but also a skill that can help them become more sociable. In a party, children can cook for friends. At home, children can cook for parents and relatives. Also, if children can learn personal finance at school, they'll learn how to budget their allowance and develop a good habit of spending money. Therefore, I think children should be required to learn practical skills.
我完全同意这个说法。学校不仅仅是孩子们学习数学、物理或化学的地方。孩子们需要学习一些实用且有用的技能。比如,如果孩子们能在学校学习烹饪,他们不仅学到了基本的生存技能,还学到了一项可以帮助他们变得更善于社交的技能。在聚会上,孩子们可以为朋友做饭。在家里,孩子们可以为父母和亲戚做饭。此外,如果孩子们能在学校学习个人理财,他们将学会如何规划他们的零用钱,养成良好的花钱习惯。因此,我认为应该要求孩子们学习实用技能。
### 段落3
**Some people enjoy spending their free time alone in activities such as reading, thinking, or writing. Others enjoy spending their free time in shared activities with other people. Which do you prefer and why?**
I prefer to spend free time alone doing activities like reading, thinking and writing. I value my free time very much because that's the time I can do whatever I like. I like reading and writing. By reading books, some masterpieces, I feel like I am talking with those great authors and masters. I enjoy great stories such as Robinson Crusoe, Boy's life and Catcher in the Rye. By writing, I can take down the meaningful moments and thoughts in my life. Also, I can write my own stories. Every time I work out a story, I feel great and eager to let others read it. Through reading and writing, I can better understand my life. Only by staying alone can I read, write and think.
我更喜欢独自度过空闲时间,进行阅读、思考和写作等活动。我非常珍惜我的空闲时间,因为那是我可以做自己喜欢的事情的时间。我喜欢阅读和写作。通过阅读书籍,一些杰作,我感觉自己在与那些伟大的作家和大师对话。我喜欢《鲁滨逊漂流记》、《男孩的生活》和《麦田里的守望者》这样的精彩故事。通过写作,我可以记录下生活中有意义的时刻和想法。我还可以写自己的故事。每次我完成一个故事,我都感到很棒,渴望让别人读到。通过阅读和写作,我可以更好地理解我的生活。只有独处时,我才能阅读、写作和思考。
### 段落4
我不同意这个说法。我相信学生从小班级中获益比从大班级中获益更多。首先,大班级里学生很多,通常在大讲堂里上课。老师或讲师总是专注于自己的主题。其中的互动不如小班级多。在小班级里,学生可以进行讨论。而且,学生可以得到老师更多的关注,因此有更多机会表达自己。其次,在大班级里,如果有一个学生不理解某个点,他或她可能会落后,而在小班级里,老师会关注每个学生,所以没有人会落后。
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?****Students benefit more from classes with a large number of students than they do from smaller classes.****Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.**
I don't agree with this statement. I believe students benefit more from small classes than from large classes.. First of all, there are many students in a large class and it's usually in a big lecture hall. Teachers or lecturers will always focus on their own topic. There aren't as many interactions in it as in a small class. In small classes, students are allowed to make discussions. Also, students can get more attention from teachers and thus have more opportunities to voice themselves. Secondly, in a large class, if there is a point a student doesn't understand, he or she might be left behind, while in a small class, teachers give attention to every student, so no one will be left behind.

**Some people do not enjoy shopping and shop only when they have a specific purchase to make. Others like to go shopping for pleasure whether or not they have something to buy. Which do you prefer and why?**
I suppose that I'm a unique person because people often say that boys don't like to buying, something for pleasure. But for me, I like to buy lots of food when I have difficulties and struggles in my life, such as when I got a very low score in the final exam, at that time I will buy some foods in the supermarket or the shopping malls, I will feel a lot of pleasure and I will enjoy about it. I will pick up some money to buy some food in a short time. Sometimes I can grab it in a hard way, sometimes when I borrow those food that I don't need, I will feel a lot of pleasure and accomplishment.
我想我是个独特的人,因为人们常说男孩不喜欢为了乐趣而购物。但对我来说,当我在生活中遇到困难和挣扎时,我喜欢买很多食物,比如当我在期末考试中得了很低的分数时,那时我会在超市或购物中心买一些食物,我会感到很多乐趣并享受其中。我会拿出一些钱在短时间内买一些食物。有时我可以艰难地拿到它,有时当我借到那些我不需要的食物时,我会感到很多乐趣和成就感。
### 段落6
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?****To protect the health of young children, advertisement for candy and junk food should not be shown on television.****Use specific reasons and details in your response.**
I definitely agree with the statement for the following reasons. First, a lot of young children suffer from diseases caused by eating too much candy and junk food. Statistics have shown that more and more young children have been diagnosed with obesity each year because they have taken too much unhealthy food. Food like candy and junk food can also cause other problems which are all harmful to kids' health and growth. Second, advertisements for candy and junk food on TV have a really negative influence on young children's choice of food. Kids are easily affected by what they see on TV. For examples, my 8-year-old nephew kept asking his parents to buy this new brand candy because he saw it the other day on TV. The advertisement itself is filled with cute cartoon characters chewing the candy happily, which looked so attractive to my nephew. Therefore, I believe, if more advertisements for healthy food are shown on TV, the kids will be affected to have a more healthy food choice.
我绝对同意这个说法,原因如下。首先,很多年幼的儿童因为吃太多糖果和垃圾食品而患病。统计数据显示,每年因为摄入太多不健康食品而被诊断为肥胖的年幼儿童越来越多。像糖果和垃圾食品这样的食物还会造成其他问题,这些都对孩子的健康和成长有害。其次,电视上的糖果和垃圾食品广告对年幼儿童的食物选择有非常负面的影响。孩子们很容易受到他们在电视上看到的东西的影响。例如,我8岁的侄子一直要求他的父母买这个新品牌的糖果,因为他前几天在电视上看到了。广告本身充满了可爱的卡通人物快乐地嚼着糖果,这对我的侄子来说看起来非常有吸引力。因此,我相信,如果电视上播放更多健康食品的广告,孩子们会受到影响,做出更健康的食物选择。
### 段落7
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?****Parents should be involved in the process of helping their children to choose a university.****Use specific reasons and details in your response.**
"As for me, I think though parents should be involved when kids are choosing a university, they should not decide which university their kid attends. Firstly, kids have their own preference and interests. I mean, by the time when they're about to attend college, they've grown into an adult, and they know how to make choices. So parents can't decide whether they attend a small college or a big one, or whether they attend college near their hometown or in a city far away from home. Secondly, kids are more likely to enjoy the life in the college they selected on their own, which is actually a good thing for their future. "
"就我而言,我认为虽然父母应该参与孩子选择大学的过程,但他们不应该决定孩子上哪所大学。首先,孩子们有自己的偏好和兴趣。我的意思是,当他们准备上大学时,他们已经成年了,他们知道如何做出选择。所以父母不能决定他们是上一所小型大学还是大型大学,或者他们是在家乡附近上大学还是在远离家乡的城市上大学。其次,孩子们更有可能享受他们自己选择的大学生活,这对他们的未来来说实际上是件好事。"
### 段落8
**Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should receive money for doing household tasks such as cleaning. Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.**
From my perspective, it's definitely a good idea since it's a good way to get kids motivated. I used to be paid for washing the dishes by my parents. They didn't pay me much though, I became really looking forward to doing the housework. Thus, these "little service tips" really pushed me to get involved in trivial tasks. Also, kids would be given the chances to manage their own savings. For me, I was pretty excited about the fact that I do own a certain amount of money and learned to save it for different things: whether I would use it to make small purchases or save the money in bank.
你是否同意以下说法?孩子应该因为做家务活(如清洁)而得到金钱报酬。请用具体的例子和细节支持你的观点。
从我的角度来看,这绝对是个好主意,因为这是激励孩子的好方法。我曾经因为洗碗而得到父母的报酬。虽然他们给我的钱不多,但我真的开始期待做家务了。因此,这些"小服务费"真的促使我参与到琐碎的任务中。另外,孩子们会有机会管理自己的储蓄。对我来说,我对于自己拥有一定数量的钱这个事实感到非常兴奋,并学会了为不同的事情存钱:无论是用它来进行小额购买还是把钱存在银行。
