2013年1月12日托福口语真题解析Task 1What is the one style of clothing that the students in your school tend to wear? Why you like this style of clothing? Include specific reasons and details in your response.Sample answer:The student uniform from my school is sporty and these are the few things I like about it. First of all, I think its pretty good looking. Its blue with white strips that make you standout from a crowed. And unlike the baggy uniforms from other schools in the area, our uniforms fit really well because the material its made of is very stretchy. Last but not least, its very comfortable. The uniform is made of 100% cotton so its nice and soft. On top of that it breathes really well so I can wear it during exercise.Task 2What kind of job will you choose? To choose a job through which you can get a lot of money or to choose a job through which you can get great personal satisfaction? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Sample answer A:I would choose a job out of which I get great personal satisfaction rather than money for the following reasons. First of all, we typically work from the age of 22 until retirement at around 60. We spend an average of five days a week, eight hours a day working. It makes a significant part of ones life. Obviously, being forced to do something when you would rather be doing something else can be killing. Also, Your passion should be what you do with your time. Life is too short to pursue other peoples or employers goals. Pursue your own, and rich or poor, happiness will follow.Sample answer B:I would like to find a job in which I can get personal satisfaction. On one hand, I dont work just for money. I dont want to be one of those people who hates her job, but still goes to work every day because I need money to pay for rent and food. Just doing it for the money is not motivating enough. I want to do something Im passionate about. Every job has its good and bad parts, but if at the end of the day I am pleased with my work, I think it is worth it. Just working for the money sounds really greedy. I dont think I could respect myself if I became that materialistic. If I had the choice between doing something I love and a higher salary, I would choose the former.Task 3【公开信】：一个学生写信给学校proposes that学校Radio center换歌，放很少听到的歌(lessened-known) 。优点一：可以为学校吸引更多学生attract students。优点二：学生会因为不熟悉歌曲, 听到后就会去找演奏者资料，有助于educate students。【学生议论】：X生赞成此倡议。理由1： 大多数学校的广播音乐放得都一样，放不熟悉的歌可以变得独特。理由2： 加入一些讨论音乐的节目，帮助同学们了解音乐史等。解析：1、 简明阐述学生倡议和两点理由（The student proposes that the radio center in his/her school should change songs, meaning broadcasting songs that are lessened-known.
