2012年11月18日托福口语真题解析Task 1

Talk about an organization or a club that you would like to join. Explain why you would like to join this organization? Please include reasons and details in your response. Begin your response after the beep.

A school organization I would like to join is the orchestra. I have played violin for my high school orchestra for almost four years, and I would like to continue playing for the orchestra in college. I like playing in the orchestra, because I truly enjoy music. I especially like how powerful the music sounds when it is played by more than thirty instruments at once. I also love to perform in front of people. There is something so moving about live music. Most importantly, I would like to join the orchestra at my university, because it is a great way to meet friends. Some of my best friends from high school also play with me in the orchestra. I think the easiest way to meet people who share the same interests with me will be to join the orchestra. (Anna)

Task 2

Some students prefer to study only once for a long period during the week. Others students prefer to study for a short period several times during a week. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. Begin your response after the beep.

When I study, I prefer to study in short increments many times a week. I find that this method is a more efficient use of my time. I used to study in one long sitting the day before the exam, but I always did poorly on my exams. If I just sit and study for several hours at a time, I have trouble concentrating and easily get distracted. So for every hour of studying, I would probably waste half an hour with distraction. I also find that if I study a little bit every day, I remember things more easily. Instead of cramming a bunch of information into my head in one sitting, I can slowly review the material. In addition, I find studying in short periods several times a week better fits into my schedule. (Anna)

Task 3

【个人倡议】:一个学生给学校写信给校报建议学校应add a three-day fall break just before midterm in each fall semester。这样做有两个好处:1、students can relax themselves during the break。2、they can get some time off to prepare for the their projects。

【学生态度】:男生同意此建议。理由1、this suggestion is especially good for the first year students who needs some time to get adjusted to their college life. Both the way to live and the study pace are different from that of a high school。Students, especially for 1st year student. 可利用这三天假期to relax。理由2、期中midterm很忙,一个星期考几门exams,有时候they will also have so many projects or research papers to complete。学生们可use the time to do assignment and research来finish their projects and papers。The male student gives an example of his history class。

解析:阅读材料学生建议学校应该add a three-day fall break just before midterm in each fall semester。因为1、students can relax themselves during the break。2、they can get some time off to prepare for the their projects。听力中,男生同意此建议。按照听力笔记复述即可。注意将听力材料与阅读材料中的两点理由相呼应。(听力的两点理由,几乎是对阅读材料的细化改写,只需要把意思表达清楚,细节点到为止,即可)。

Task 4

【名词解释】:friend affiliation(群体归属):refers to the people's desire to be a member of a certain group。想让顾客买产品,必须要有affiliation。广告商make advisement by using people's affiliation有两种方法:一是利用其positive effect,通过宣扬广告产品可以增加affiliation,在朋友之间寻求認同。二是利用其negative方法,如果用别的brand产品就会失去affiliation。

【教授举例】:为一个软饮料公司策划一个ad campaign,可有两种方案:第一种方案:在一个happy party里,everybody都drink the same kind of新brand的soda,都很happy。The soda becomes a very important thing in this situation。第二种方案:some young people are watching a football game in a stadium,突然one of them drink a wrong brand of soda,then all the people become quite音乐和party也就此stop了and 用奇怪的眼神look at him,and leave him alone,even his best friend left him。Then he realized he made a big mistake to drink the wrong kind soda,然后这人就换了个口味。这是从negative入手让观众喜欢这个牌子的soda。问教授是怎么说明reading passage中的观点的。[2007.1.14/2008.7.12]

解析:阅读中的关键术语是群体归属(friend affiliation),记录下对此术语的解释:refers to the people's desire to be a member of a certain group。教授以一个软饮料公司的ad campaign作为讲座例子,列出两种广告方案,一个是happy party, 一个是watching football

game in a stadium,根据听力笔记按照事件发展的逻辑顺序将两个方案分别阐述清晰。注意这两个方案与阅读中的两点利用方法相对应,以体现对阅读材料的理解。

Task 5

【学生困难】:一个女生和her friend要搬出校园,要share租a new apartment ,本来昨天已经看好了an apartment,价钱合适,也很大just OK,准备今天下午去sign the contract for the apartment。但她今天自己又看到一个nicer的,larger and closer to school,就是价钱有点贵,她想租这个。想要的话,今天必须签合同否则就没了。但她室友went to hiking了,要一周后才回来the next week。has no access to emails and mobile。So, she can't be able to contact her friend to make a decision together. 女生不知怎办。

【解决方案】:女生给两个解决方案:方案1、sign the new contract for the new apartment which is more expensive, closer to campus, nicer and due today without her friend's opinion。这个女生可以接受价格,但She doesn't know her friend's financial situation,担心她室友负担不起。方案2、stay with the previous apartment they have agreement on which has right price and a OK place,毕竟这个是两人一起同意的。但这个女生不喜欢。

解析:答题思路:The woman is confronted with a problem which is,在跟她室友看上一套房子之后又看上另外一套更近更贵的房子,但是这时候一方面时间很紧迫,必须马上决定,另一方面她室友went hiking,无法同她商量。两个解决方法,一个是签更近的,一个是签原先的。可以选择这个更近的,因为这样离校很近,两个人上学都很方便,而至于房租稍贵的问题可以通过跟室友一起打工把钱赚回来。非常典型的第五题,用经典策略就可以搞定。

Task 6

【讲课要点】:早期人类two benefits of domesticating animals:好处1、驯养了动物以后,人们随时可以吃meat,省着打猎有时候打不到,没得吃。举例:goats were easy to control and they would move with people, then people could have consistent and reliable food resources。好处2、人们可以得到很多product。举例:Goats could produce milk。People could not only drink milk,but also use milk to make yogurt and cheese, which were easy to restore。

解析:答题思路:教授阐明早期人类驯化动物的两点好处。一个是有更多的meat,一个是有更多的product。根据听力笔记分别阐述两点好处即可。构架如下:The professor talks about two benefits of domesticating animals, one is people could eat more meat, and the other is that peop le could get more products. For the first one, …. For example,…. For the products, …. For example,….

童年时,家是一声呼唤。那时的我似乎比今日的孩子拥有更多的自由。放学后,不会先在父母前露面,而是与左右相邻的小朋友聚在一起,天马行空,玩的天昏地暗,直至街上的人散去,听见焦急的父母在四处:“回家了,吃饭了。” 这样的声音伴着我的童年,月复一月,迄今仍在我的耳畔回响。

我常常在思考“家”究竟是什么?有人说:家是酝酿爱与幸福的酒坊,是盛满温馨和感动等待品味的酒杯。是在疲惫时回到家后爱人真情的拥抱,是彼此相守默默注视的目光…… 还有人说:家是风雨中的一间小屋,家是大雪天里的一杯热酒,家是一次次失败后的鼓励……

家是忙碌奔波疲惫时。最想回去好好休息的温床。家是在外面受委屈回来后,可以痛痛快快哭一场而没人笑你软弱的地方。家是日行千里夜走八百后。离你最远却始终与你记忆最近的画面。无论你的人生是如何的辉煌或者是落魄。家。永远是你最牵挂的地方。太平时,家是一座博物馆,又是一个加油站。家里的一本书一封信一帧照片,都可以引出一段属于你们家的故事,流传天南与地北;一把茶壶一顶帽子一把椅子,都储存着家的文化传统和信息,绵延一代又一代。

家,一个多么温馨的港湾,承载了多少人的梦。烦恼的时候,想到它,豁然开朗;忧郁的时候,想到它,微微一笑;沉闷的时候,想到它,如释重负。

家,简简单单的一个字,却包含了太多,只有亲情才是无法泯灭的永恒。自古以来,无数诗人咏唱过游子的思家之情。“渔灯暗,客梦回,一声声滴人心碎。孤舟五更家万里,是离人几行情泪。”家是游子梦魂萦绕的永远的岸。
