托福备考之独立口语题目练习

　　Task 3

　　You 需要 do a presentation. Which one of the following would you choose? 表演 a scene from a play with 一个搭档/ review of a novel you 最近读的/read a selection of 一首诗.

　　Well, I would say I'd like to act out a scene from a play with a partner. Acting out a scene can be very appealing to audience since there is an interesting storyline and it involves lots of emotional expressions, interesting lines and interaction between my partner and I. Thus, the audience will be attracted and keep their attention for a long time. However, reviewing a novel and reading a poem can be very boring since both of them are monologues, there is no interaction. I think it is just a matter of time before the audience get distracted.

　　Task4

　　Some like to work in a 小公司or organization with a few 员工. Others prefer to work in a 大公司或机构with thousands of employees. Which do you think is better?

　　Personally, I would say it is better to work in a small company. First off, it is much easier to build deeper connection with my co-workers since there is only a few of them. If I work in a small company, I happen to know every single person, even their families and friends. Thus, I can get a stronger sense of belonging to the company. Additionally, in a small company there is no rigid rules and regulations. Generally speaking, I can enjoy more flexible working time when working in a small company. I don't have to feel pressured to clock in at the last minute.

　　Task5

　　Which one of the following do you think is 最重要的 for the 发展 of the country?

　　1.商业 opportunities 2. An excellent 教育系统 3. Medical care

　　Well, I think an excellent education system is the most important for a country's development. A good education system can help to develop morality and values to live a good life and build up character to seek the truth and I think these qualities are very important. Additionally, education provides students with the tools and skills that are essential for them to be successful in their future career especially in today's competitive job market. With a good education system, the country can improve its human capital, and the talented people can help the country to be more prosperous and developed.

　　Task6

　　你同意不同意 with the following statement：entertainment technology leaves less time for people to 读书 for pleasure.

　　Personally, I agree with this statement and people do spend less time reading books. First off, with the development of high tech gadgets like smart phone, tablet, laptops, it is very easy for people to have access to lots of entertainment like watching a movie, listening to music, and even playing on-line games. Additionally, entertainments brought by technology are very enjoyable and addictive, for instance, the visual effects of lots of video games are very vivid, and it is really tough for one to stop once he or she starts to play the game. Thus, people spend too much time consuming these types of technology and don't have time to read for pleasure.

　　Task 7

　　A friend of yours is going to study at 另一个学校 and he's worried that he won't be able to 交到朋友there. What 建议 would you give him and why?

　　Personally, I would suggest him join all kinds of social activities, for example, like volunteer activities, fundraising, and going on field trip organized by the school. Also, he should join clubs, like sports club, poem club, debating club, and even martial art club. In this way, he can interact with the club members. If he is lucky, he might come across someone who is from the same place of him or her. Additionally, he or she might find someone who have the same hobby, you know, one has so much to talk about when meeting someone who have the same hobby.

　　Task 8

　　一些人 prefer to read 纸质书籍, others like to read 电子书 on computers or other devices. Which do you think is better and why?

　　Well, personally I prefer to read paper books. I am the kind of person who like to highlight, like underlining the important parts when I am reading a book, and I am used to write some thoughts on the side of the page. However, if I chose to read e-books, I might not be able to take notes conveniently. Additionally, some electronic devices for books are very difficult to operate, the control pad or the buttons are too small to press on, thus sometimes it is very hard to get it function right, and that is very annoying, cuz it costs you lots of time.

　　Task 9

　　Suppose you have a historic assignment to 介绍 an ancient 建筑, which of the following ways would you like to do the assignment?

　　1.Making a video 2. Interviewing the seniors 3. Writing a paper

　　Personally, I think interviewing the seniors about the ancient building is the best way to finish the assignment. First off, the ancient building is more than just a building, actually it reflects the culture and history of the city. It has great implication. Seniors have lived in this city for decades, and they know historic events that the ancient building had gone through. However,  just making a video can only showcase the outlook of the building, it cannot shed light on the cultural and historic side of the building. Writing paper can be the worst to finish this assignment since it is very abstract, making it difficult for people to know the building.
