2017年1月14日托福口语真题答案及解析
Task 1
学习啦在线学习网You will need to accomplish an assignment to do a presentation. Which will you choose?
1. Act out a scene from a play(with a partner)
2. Explain your review of a novel you recently you read
3. Read a selection of poem
Sample Answer:
学习啦在线学习网Among the three presentation choices, I would choose to act out a play with my partner. As a literature major, I have been deeply entranced by dramas, accordingly, I'd rather consider acting as a form of amusement than regarding it as a job. To illustrate, I remember the first year in college, I made a rather unusual decision to deliver a performance on Shakespeare's Drama-Hamlet at New Year’s party instead of participating in student’s choir in singing. As a result, the decision paid off since I was granted an acting position at city's drama club, as a reward for my authentic and impressive performance. Ever since then, acting has become part of my daily ritual for my passion and adoration for it never dies out. (125 words)
Task 2
Someone choose to work in a small company or organization with a few workers. Others prefer to work in a large company or organization with thousands of employees. Which do you think is better?
学习啦在线学习网Sample Answer:
I am in favor of working in a large corporation rather than a small firm because large corporations often are ruled and governed by stable regulations whereas small firm often undergoes management transformations in which causing employees time to adjust and adapt to the new leaderships. Take my brother Jim as an illustration, he used to work as a high-tech personal in a petite firm which was specializing in virtual reality technology. Initially he was so passionate about the job that he barely took any weekends off for his own pleasure, he was so determined that he'd be promoted with such exceptional skills and professionalism. But he was wrong, after a few years, he was spiritually and psychically worn out because the management seats were constantly going through changes and his promotions were never brought up on the agenda because the new supervisors always bring their own personals to take charge in company affairs. Consequently, Jim had no choice but to quit the old firm and join an elite corporation that has business dealings nationwide, his excellent work has soon to be spotted by the management and he was granted promotion in a short term. Therefore, I'm inclined to listen to my brother Jim and work in a large company with stable leadership. (213 words)

学习啦在线学习网Sample Answer:
School has implemented a new policy to carry out a weekend art workshop for students as it is believed that the program will provide non-art major students a relaxing environment to learn art without concerning about the grade. In addition, the new program will give art-majored students more opportunities to practice. The woman in the dialogue holds a negative opinion on this matter, she points out that there already have established optional art course for students, and it is not going to be scored in chart, students who are intrigued in art could choose this course without having to worry about the grade, it serves similar purpose as the art workshop. In addition, the new program will not benefit art major students whatsoever as the art workshop will be carried out on weekends, so it will occupy classrooms that were initially available for art students who wish to complete assignments on weekend. For example, the woman needs to finish a sculpture in the classroom, it is not possible that she carries the sculpture back in the dorm to complete on weekends. Therefore, the woman believes the proposal to be voided. (190 words)

Predator Release refers to a term that when human control the number of predators, the population of preys will increase. This will lead to some consequences.

学习啦在线学习网The woman is concerned about her living situation because her sister will come to live with her, but her apartment is too small for two people. She can either put a bed in the living room or live with her sister in the old small apartment or to find a bigger apartment herself. I am in favor of the second solution as privacy is of essence for an adult, without such, they may find themselves constantly disturbing and offending each other, eventually lead to a relationship breakdown. In addition, if she is so worried about not having sufficient time for searching for an apartment, why not call an agency to deal with the issue? In this way, she could not only have all the time by herself to fulfill her studies also to have a brand new apartment for the two of them. (143 words)

Now the company promotes the product in another angle as cleaning product to extend its life cycle. (128 words)
托福口语Task4答题要点 口语高分要做到这些！
学习啦在线学习网1 掌握听力内容的“暗线”
学习啦在线学习网首先，口语答题good和fair的区别是什么呢?让我们先来看一段话：
学习啦在线学习网The question will ask youto explain the main concept or issue using the points and examplesthat were given in the lecture. So basically it's a very straight forward summary.
学习啦在线学习网这是ETS官方视频中对Task 4所提出的要求，注意划线部分内容：你必须解释清楚main concept或者issue。这就是高分关键!!!
口说无凭。咱们来举个例子~
看题：禽类吃泥土的原因：辅助消化和排除毒素
学习啦在线学习网1 辅助消化，以渡鸦举例，没有牙齿，吃泥土是为了磨碎食物，这样有助于消化较大的食物，比方说把很大的种子磨成小碎片。
2 排除毒素，以鹦鹉举例，吃泥土可以中和误食的毒素，这样就不会生病了。
学习啦在线学习网这道题是要求大家用example来论证“泥土在帮助鸟类消化这件事上起到了什么作用?具体过程是什么?”
很多同学在回答第四题的时候，只是在单纯地summarize the lecture(总结学习啦在线学习网讲座)，而忽略了题目中隐藏的“暗线”，也就是高分要求中的points和examples。
Fair级别的答案：For instance, a species of bird takes in soil sometimes. Because it's toothless, eating soil can help it with its digestion. 在这个答案中并没有体现出soil起到的具体作用，因此只能得fair。
学习啦在线学习网再看Good级别的答题：Wild pheasant is a good example. It is toothless, so it has to take in soil sometimes to help it grind up giant seeds with hard shells into smaller pieces, to make it easier to digest. 这个答案中包含了3点重要信息，toothless, giant seeds with hard shells and grind up into smaller pieces，从而充分论证了soil在消化过程中起到的具体作用。
2 善于改述内容
paraphrasing(改写)是托福综合口语中必须掌握的一项能力。口语第三题和第四题听力部分内容都在一分半至两分钟左右，字数大约在200字，多则能到250字。而我们1分钟能有效输出的内容只有120-140字。
换句话讲，答题的时候必须删减一半的听力内容。怎么做?
请大家铭记一件事：大多数Task 4中都有近1/3的内容是废话，必须听懂，但不必阐述。见下面这段文字：
学习啦在线学习网Today, we're going to discuss forest fires. Generally, when a forest fire occurs, the animals in the area will of course scurry away from the fire. Some animals, though, actually benefit from forest fires and so will follow them because forest fires can help them meet their survival needs. Let's discuss twobenefitsforest fires could have for these animals.
One benefit is that they can make it easier for predators to find food.A forest fire will force animals out of their hiding places, which predators make use of because fleeing animals are much easier to catch than they normally are when they are hiding deeply.
学习啦在线学习网For example, scientists have observed skunks doing this. These animals will go to the edge of a forest fire and wait there in order to catch all the insects running out of the burning forest, which is a much easier way to catch insects than the normal way of pecking for them on the ground.
Another benefit forest fires could have is to help provide a good place for the development of young animals.Forest fires can make an otherwise harmful environment more suitable for their development.
学习啦在线学习网For example, Burch trees in the forest are poisonous to ants. They have a special chemical that keeps ants away. But after a fire, ants will seek out these trees because the trees are dead and ants are able to lay their eggs in the trees without being hurt by the chemical. The young ants use the trees' nourishment until they mature into adult ants.
学习啦在线学习网其中标注颜色的是重点，其他都是废话，听懂即可。考试时将有颜色的部分记下来，并将重点信息进行改述，压缩到相应的时间里面。
学习啦在线学习网再次强调，阐述example的时候，一定要想着to example the main concept or the issue。
