TOEFL Task 1 and 2 QUESTIONS.doc

口语1,2两题1. is it beneficial for the student to have computers?I think it is beneficial for the student to have computers. Firstly, having computers will help the student to get information all over the world. It can provide student a wide range of information when studying a certain subject. So it will contribute to improving the performance of the students.Also, having computers will help to release pressure of them. Using computers, the students can surf the internet, play computer games or communicate friends far away from them. So the students will have their pressure released.Considering the two reasons mentioned above, according to me, it is beneficial for the students to have computers.2. it is always good to keep honesty?I agree with the statement that people should always remain honest.Firstly, being honest is the basis of a good relationship. It means that only honest people can get trust from others. And trust is the most essential part in every relationship.Also, honesty is reciprocal between friends and family. If one is not honest to others, how could he expect to be treated honestly? No one wants a relationship full of lies. So it is always good to keep honesty. 1. Describe an important letter or a poem or a story you have writtenI used to spend a whole day writing a 20 pages letter for my best friend as her birthday present. Its about all the little memories we shared since we met.First, considering that at that time, my friend was leaving for another city to continue her study as a high school student; this letter enabled her to keep me in mind. In this our friendship would last for a lifetime.Besides, as she was coming from a rich family where she has got all the expensive gifts you could imagine, a special letter really impressed her in the deep heart.In fact, she kept mentioning that its the best gift she had ever received.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: the government should not rebuild the city.Personally speaking, rebuilding the city would bring about some good effects.First, the transportation system in most cities cannot meet the need of modern development of the city. So it would be good for the government to put money on it to make widen the road or increase the number of public transportation such as buses and subways. People could enjoy a faster commute in this way.Also, the government could improve the housing condition for the citizens by re-engineering the old parts of the city and construct new urban infrastructure. Thus, the citizens will enjoy a better life in the well-constructed city.1. Describe a difficulty you once met. Explain how you overcame this difficulty. Give specific details and examples to support your answerWhen I took a scuba diving lesson two years ago, its very difficult for me to overcome my fear of sinking into the sea. After finishing my theory course and pool test, it is the time for me to take open water test which means I must sink into the sea at the depth of 15 meters. As a coward, theres no doubt that I was almost frightened to death. On the surface, I refused to empty my air bag to sink down. Luckily I had a good coach, she told me not to be nervous and try to follow the steps she taught me in the pool, and she would be with me all the time and believed that I can do this. I calmed down and thought nothing but the sinking steps. Gradually, a pure blue world unfolded before my eyes. At that time, I knew that diving would be my beloved sport in my life.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is not good for first year students to live in the same dormitory with senior students.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the statement and I believe that its beneficial for freshman to live with the students in the same grad.Firstly, living in the dormitory is a very good way to make new friends. As a freshwater in college, it is easier to make friends with those in the same grade, because they have the same schedules and will attend similar activities.Secondly, living in the same dormitory with senior students ist not good for the first year students to learn independence. They will rely too much on their roommates for help, which may also bother the others1. advantage and disadvantage of eating in class2. Someone likes to collect old things such as newspaper; others throw things away after they used it. Whats your preference?1. Describe one way to improve the system of education in your countryIn my point of view, a good way to improve the quality of education in my country is improving the quality of the teachers. Firstly, a better teacher knows the better way to teach. Teachers are the critical parts of education. If they provide a more efficient way, the education system will be enhanced. Secondly, a better teacher knows more knowledge. The knowledge that will be accepted by students should be known by the teachers at first. So the more a teacher knows, the more his/her students will learn. Furthermore, an interesting and qualified teacher would attract the students. When the students are more interested in the class given by the interesting teacher, the efficiency of education may reach a completely higher level2. Reading books or listening to audio books?Compared with listening to audio books, reading books would be my choice. First of all, reading books would be more appropriate for people. Because reading book is a very old type of book which people have been used to it for centuries? Besides, reading books are clearer than audio books There are some words that have completely different meanings when their pronunciations are same. These words of audio books would make people confused, but a reading book doesnt have this kind of question. Furthermore, reading is faster than listening. People can understand a sentence or a text at a very quick glance. However, if an audio goes too fast, people cannot even listen clearly.1. Describe a serious problem that your country is now facing. Explain why this problem is serious. 2. Some people like to finish a task shortly before the deadline. Others try to finish a task well before the deadline. Which do you prefer and why? 1. A university is planning to build a parking lot so students can park their cars. Do you agree or disagree with this plan? 2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is not necessary for students to memorize historical data such as names and dates because students can easily find them on the Internet. 1.What kind of food do you recommend to add to the food menu of the campus cafeteria? Use Examples and details to support your response.Well, personally, I would recommend to add the fast food to the food menu on the campus.Firstly because, the fast food is quite cheap and affordable to all the students, they dont have to pay much money to buy this kind of food. Such as the hot cereal and omelet. And it can never doubted that the KFC and McDonalds is much cheaper than the, you know, Christmas dinner.Secondly because, this kind of food is very easy to cook, so people dont have to wait for that long to get it, students dont have to wait in lines for hours to eat the food. They can use the time to study, to review the contents of the class, and to polish their essay, anyway, as a student, study is the top one thing for them to do, right?2. Some people like to buy new and expensive books while others prefer to buy old and cheap ones. Which would you prefer?Well, personally speaking, I think people should buy the old books, mainly for two reasons.First, the contents and information of the new books are much easier to understand. Because sometimes there will be some comments and highlights on the old books made by the previous readers, so for the new buyers, these books will be much easier to understand. Meanwhile, this kind of old books are beneficial for their daily life, they can share more common ideas with their friends and relatives after reading the comments and analysis made by other people.Second, without doubt, the old books, I mean the second-hand books are always much cheaper than the new ones, so it will be much easier for people to get the updated and advanced contents and information of the old books, especially for the students, this way will be very cost-effective for them to study.1. If your school has received a large amount of money. Would you like this money to be used for building a school gymnasium or building a science laboratory?Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people should not take part-time jobs because this has a negative effect on their study.1. Talk about an organization you want to join and why.2. Some students prefer to study for only one long time during a week. Other students prefer to study for several short periods of time during a week, which do you prefer? 1.

Other people prefer to move to different places. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.I prefer to move around a lot instead of settling in one place because first of all I believe most peoples growth comes with the changes in their lives. For example, after finishing my junior high school in China, I decided to go to Canada. This gives me an opportunity to be instructed in an entirely different manner. Ive become a more independent thinker and learned how to look at things from different perspectives. If I were still studying in China, I quite doubt I would learn all this. Secondly, I think that by moving around, people are able to experience diverse circumstances which give them new experiences and broaden their views, and thus they can get more comprehensive understanding of the world, the society and life itself.1. One of your friends is thinking of working for a period of time before going to the university. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?2，Do you prefer to participate in sports activities yourself or just watch other people play sports?1，What suggestions would you give to a friend who wants to improve his/her score in class?Well, I think there are many ways that h/she can make use of to enhance his/her academic performance. He can join a study group where h/she can ask other group members for clarifying difficult points. I would also advise him to preview what the professor is going to discuss the next day and review what the professor has taught. That way he/she will understand better the teaching content and the knowledge will retain much longer. Also make full use of the office hours, if he/she encounters difficulties, the professor is always glad to offer a helping hand.2. Some people play games for enjoyment. Others play games in order to win. Which do you prefer and why?1 What is your favorite place to study? Give details and examples in your response.My favorite place to study is in my bedroom. I have a nice desk with a comfortable chair, and if I need anything, I know where it is in my room. I dont really like studying in the library, because it too quiet. Whenever anybody makes a noise, I can hear it very clearly and I automatically look up to see what it is. Working in the library is very distracting for me. Also, if I get hungry, they dont let you eat in the library. If Im studying in my bedroom, I can easily go downstairs and get a snack from the kitchen. In addition, if I have to study really late, the library always closes too early. If I work in my bedroom, I can stay up as late as I need to, without disturbing anybody.2. Some people prefer a job which deals with the same tasks every day. Others prefer a job which deals with many different tasks. Which do you prefer and why?I would prefer a job that has a little bit of variation. Sitting at a desk all day doing the same thing over and over again would bore me out of my mind. I cant imagine that that kind of job would the interesting at all. I think I am too intelligent to sit and do a mindless task all day. Also I think those jobs will be taken over by computers soon. I would rather have a job that requires me to go around and do lots of different things. Like teaching: Every day there is a new lesson and you never know how class is going to turn out. You have to be spontaneous in the classroom and I think I would prefer a job like that over any other type of job.1. If your friend wants to make a big purchase without having enough money, what can he do to get enough money?有人喜欢把时间排得很满，有人喜欢留很多free time。你呢？Some people like to have a tigh
