5月底考托福的同学，请收下口语预测！

这次的托福考试，你真的准备好了吗？！（如需，请发送暗号给达达，你懂的~~~）...

预测题目一

Your community center now offers classes on the weekends for free. Which of the following class will you choose to take: a financial course to help you manage money, car maintenance and repair, or review of Latin-American music?

思路拓展：

此题是一个非高频话题，可能大家的第一反应是Excuse me?这个问题哥连中文都不知怎么回答，更不用说英文了好吗？

然而童鞋！此时你已经犯了托福口语考试的第一大忌-不淡定！要知道你们在内心默默吐槽的时候15秒的准备时间也默默飘走了，然后迎来的就是无尽的er…和I think，甚至是很长的留白时间。

那么到底此题的正确打开方式是什么呢？

Connie老师的建议是：觉得哪个好说就顺着想下去！千万不要反复权衡或者犹豫。

如可能一些同学觉得review of Latin-American music 更好说一些，没问题，顺着往下想。Music属于entertainment的一种，好，万能理由：放松；将思路放在另一个关键词上，review复习，这里我们可以把它理解成简单了解学习，好，万能理由：拓宽眼界。接下来要做的就是搭配一点点亲身经历的例子或者编两句就好咯。

Sample answer：

I might wanna take Latin-American music class. One reason is that in the class, I will have more chances to listen to music, which helps to cheer me up when I am exhausted or bored by school work. Plus, since this is a review class, I am quite sure it can broaden my horizon. I mean, I will gain more useful knowledge of Latin-American music and culture in the class, like how this type of music was originated, which song best represents such kind of music and so forth. So compared with other two classes, music course definitely attracts me more.

预测题目二

A friend of yours has just moved to a new city. Please give some advice to your friend about how to make friends in a new city. Please include specific details and examples in your response.

思路拓展：

将题目简化，其实核心问题就是如何在新环境中交朋友？此类题目不是第一次考察，类似的机经题目有：你的朋友刚刚加入新社团，你有什么建议给他。去外地读大学，你是更愿意和旧朋友联系还是更愿意交新朋友？以下思路都可以帮助我们回答此类的交友题目。

请大家想想自己的朋友们，你们怎么成为好朋友的？也许你们同是学生会的会员，也许你们在一个校队踢球，也许你们是一个学习小组的。总结一下，就是多社交。

Sample answer：

Well, I might advise my friend to take more part in some social activities like community service, volunteer activity and the alike. There is a good chance to meet some nice people and perhaps they will become our friends later. Take my sister Jane for instance, when she was a teenager, her family moved to shanghai because my uncle got a job promotion. At first, Jane felt bored coz she had no friends there at all. Then my uncle encouraged her to join a volunteer organization which serves to look after lost pets. Not only did she have a fun time with those lovely animals, but also she made several friends with other volunteers.

预测题目一

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents today put more pressure on their children than parents in the past? Explain why. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.

思路拓展：

此题为对比类的话题。比较对象为parents today 和 parents in the past，比较内容为 pressure on their children。 列个表格，相信大家有很多话可说。

Parents today

Parents in the past

Ask kids to get straight A at school

No academic requirement

Sign in lots of extracurricular classes for kids

No training center available

Require kids to learn foreign languages

No need

University study is a must

Supporting family is more important

Sample answer：

Absolutely yes. I do agree with the statement. Nowadays there are lots of ‘tiger moms’ or ‘wolf dads’ in China who have very high expectation for their kids and are very strict with them. For instance, parents ask their children to get straight A at school, and they sign in bunches of extracurricular classes for their kids, hoping that they are competitive than their peers. Yet in the past, children literally got no pressure from their parents. Like in my parents’ generation, they didn’t need to have good academic achievement, and there even were no available training center where students could learn more after school. So in short, parents today put more pressure on their children than parents in the past.

预测题目二

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.

思路拓展：

此题有很多限制因素在题干中，因此关键词要看好，否则答题很容易跑偏。题目不仅询问key to success, 还涉及in college. 两种方式做对比选择，talking with other people versus observing others in silence. 相信大部分同学的选择是前者，相对比较好举例，且能和万能理由：锻炼社交能力联系起来。
