Task 1.
Which one of the following activities would like to take the kids on for a field?
1. science museum 2. local farm 3. theater performance
Personally, I prefer to take the kids to visit the local farm. To begin with, students stay indoors most of the time, fortunately, taking a field trip on a farm brings the students closer to mother nature, and they can enjoy the breeze on the farm. Plus, there are a lot of funny activities on a farm, like taking a hay ride, setting up a bonfire, or even doing some BBQ. These kind of activities can be great fun. I bet students can get away from their busy life and study and get a chance to relax and unwind.
Task 2.
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: students should be allowed to take additional courses to graduate as soon as possible.
Personally, I don't agree with this statement. Instead, I believe students should take their time, and don't need to be in a hurry to graduate. To begin with, the current job market is pretty tough, frankly, graduating students are competing for very limited vacancies, and I think it is a better idea for them to stay in college to avoid the tough job market. Additionally, school should not encourage early graduation, and the student should take their time and lay a solid foundation for the future job. Actually, the ultimate purpose of entering the college is not to graduate, but it is to find a nice job.
3月19日托福口語真題Task 1
If you are a teacher of a tutor group and you are going to take students to a study trip, where would you take them to? A science museum, a local farm, or a theatre performance?
范例 If I were the teacher, I’d take my students to a local farm for sure. With the great leap forward of urbanization, most kids lose the opportunity to learn about our mother nature unwittingly. As a teacher myself, I couldn’t remember how many times I threw out the question “tell me about your favorite animal” with uncomfortably long pauses. My students find it tough to answer the question from direct experience. They aren’t able to list typical features of those animals or their living habits or anything! What a shocking fact! So I’d love to provide my students a chance to get closer to those warm creatures and soft grasslands than to cold machines and concrete streets.

Agree or disagree that students should take some additional courses so that they can get their credits more quickly?
范例 Personally speaking, taking additional courses shouldn't be encouraged at school. To begin with, the purpose of attending school is not only limited to obtaining credits and degrees, but also taking time to ponder on the moment of truth and take pleasure to swim in the sea of knowledge. Extra time and energy could spill over better places like reading extensively as well as intensively on areas of interest, and participating in all sorts of seminars to learn from established professors and curious peers. Besides, school is a wonderful place to meet like-mind souls and appreciate the attractiveness of differences. Spending more time learning from people around you is much more valuable than getting lost in the hustle and bustle of earning credits.

Reading: 學(xué)校公告推遲一小時上課，從8am改為9am。
1.讓學(xué)生睡更久，精力充沛更利于學(xué)習(xí)。
2.教授有更多時間準(zhǔn)備課程。
Listening: 男生不同意。
1.如果學(xué)生知道不用早起自然會睡得更晚，實際上會減少休息時間。
2.教授那個時間正好趕上早高峰，反而在路上浪費(fèi)更多時間。
范例 The university announces to put off the first class in the morning until an hour later, from 8am to 9am, so as to make students well-rested and better-prepared for classes. Plus, the professor gets more time to get well-prepared for classes. The man in the conversation is not in favor of this plan. He argues that students will stay up late instinctively if they are aware that they don’t have to get up early next morning. As for the point about professors, he points out that it is more likely for professors to get caught in the rush hours in the morning with such change. They’ll end up wasting more time on the road dealing with heavy traffic. In short, the plan would lead to more negative consequences rather than expected.

Reading: Negatively bias，負(fù)面特點(diǎn)對人們影響更大。
Listening: 一個員工努力工作，知識淵博，樂于助人，然而脾氣暴躁，意見不一致時會和情緒激烈地爭論。所以當(dāng)問他的同事他是否可以被晉升的時候，大家完全忽略了他的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，只記得他容易生氣。所以后沒有提拔。
范例 The passage talks about negatively bias which means the negative characteristic will impress people stronger than the positive ones. The professor presents us an example to illustrate this phenomenon. A worker in an insurance company is diligent, capable and knowledgable. He always finishes work perfectly and loves to help others in need. However, his only shortcoming is that he’s easy to lose temper. One time he even argued with a coworker emotionally. So when it comes to the time of promotion, if the boss asks about the coworker’s option towards him, they will concentrate much more on his bad temper instead of all those favorable qualities.

問題：春假期間女生想在寢室寫paper,室友卻有朋友來宿舍拜訪一整周。
1.和室友商量一下，希望室友能理解在宿舍不希望被打擾。
2.去圖書館，但圖書館假期每天只開放一段時間，剩下的時間不知道怎么辦。
范例 The woman is facing a dilemma at the moment. She’s planned to work on her paper in dorm during the spring break but her roommate will have a friend over for the whole week, which puts her in a tough spot. She can either talk to her roommate or go to the library instead. I’d suggest her choose the latter one. Firstly, as she mentions, taking to her roommate about the distraction on her study seems improper, and may even cause misunderstanding between them, so it’d be unwise to do so. Admittedly, the library’s open hour is shortened during the spring break and she’ll have less time to write her paper, such compression in time may as well stimulate her to work harder and to get the paper done more efficiently.
3月19日托?？谡Z真題Task 6
主題：生物方法應(yīng)對生物入侵
1.和化學(xué)防除相比，昆蟲防治能減少對環(huán)境中的其他本土物種的危害。
比如，在新西蘭某地有一種入侵仙人掌，它的存在抑制了其他植物的生長。科學(xué)家們引入的昆蟲之消滅入侵的仙人掌，并沒有污染或者破壞環(huán)境中的其他植物。
2.性價比高。
化學(xué)防治浪費(fèi)錢，引入昆蟲只需要使用少量的昆蟲達(dá)到好的清除效果，因為昆蟲具備繁衍的能力，在短時間內(nèi)增量后的昆蟲能夠徹底消滅入侵的物種。
例如，引入少量甲殼蟲便清除了生長在美國的一種weed。
范例 The professor introduces two advantages of applying biological methods to control invasive plants. For one thing, comparing with chemical methods, biological methods cause less harm to the habitat. Unlike chemicals that may contaminate environment, insects will only eat the invasive plant. For example, scientists used to use insects to kill this kind of invasive cactus in New Zealand. Those insects do no damage to the environment but only to the cactus. Moreover, while using chemicals can be costly, using insects is a rather inexpensive way, because only a certain number of insects are needed in particular parts of the place. For instance, when bringing beetles to a land invaded by a species of weed in the United States, scientists just introduces a small number of insects and then those insects just naturally reproduce in great numbers and save the entire area.
