　　2016年7月16日托福口语预测

　　Task 1

　　1.An environmental group is planning to organize an activity to help protect the environment. What activity do you suggest and why?

　　It is a fact that the earth is suffering from severe environmental problems. Measures should be taken to protect our environment. I’d like to suggest an activity. I would invite many people who want to contribute to protecting the environment to go cycling around the west lake. Each bicycle would have a flag with some slogans concerning environment protection on it. There are two reasons why I would do this. Firstly, cycling is an eco-friendly activity. And it’s beneficial to our health. If more people choose to go to work or go to school by bicycle, the environment will be much better. Besides, West Lake is the most popular tourist attraction in HZ. It would be really easy to draw a lot of people’s attention.

　　2.Your friend has to work a lot. Please suggest a hobby to him to help him spend his weekend more delightful.

　　I suggest that my friend should join a hiking club which organizes hiking on weekends, which I consider will bring great benefits to my friends’ physical health and psychological health. To begin with, hiking is definitely a beneficial outdoor activity for my friend to keep fit. After working hard during weekdays, he needs a way to free himself from the heavy workload and he’ll be able to strengthen his stamina, which will definitely give him more energy to cope with his job. Moreover, having a tighter connection with nature tends to bring him a good mood and hopefully he’ll forget his worries and stress from work.

　　3.If you can have a part-time job at the university, what position would you choose; a lab assistant, a campus tour guide, or a library assistant? Why?

　　Personally speaking, I’d like to be a library assistant. There’re a couple of reasons. First of all, being a library assistant would enable me to be exposed to a sea of books. As we all know, libraries are the main study resources for students and there’re novels, encyclopedias and all kinds of reference books thus I could have more chances to read more if was a library assistant. In addition, I adore the peaceful environment in the library so I could enjoy the peace and let off my steam if I worked there. Every time I visit the library in my school, the environment there will help me concentrate better.

　　4.Describe a memorable experience in a restaurant or cafe.

　　I’d like to talk about my experience in a well-known restaurant in my city which is named the Grandma’s. A fortnight ago, I ate out with my friends there and the service was impeccable. The waiters and waitresses who wore a friendly smile all the time were so hospitable and helpful that a great number of customers were attracted to eat out there. In addition, the food they served was mainly Chinese traditional dishes which were not only mouth-watering but also nutritious. Better still, the price was moderate while the potion was extremely big. So I pretty enjoy the time eating there.

　　5.Some universities require students to attend language classes. Others require them to attend computer classes. Which do you think is more important?

　　Without a doubt, I would say attending language classes is way more important than computer classes. First of all, any language is a tool for communication. If students could speak another language, they will be able to communicate with more people. Secondly, language is a mirror of its culture. Students could learn a lot about their culture, which could broaden their horizons and enrich their life. Thirdly, some students are interested in learning a second language. They are willing to spend much time on it. It would offer a great opportunity for them to further their education overseas. It might be beneficial to their future career. At the same time, they could experience a totally different lifestyle. Last but not least, they could travel to different places without any travel agency.

　　独立写作

　　1.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Technology designed to make our life simpler actually makes our life more complicated.

　　It cannot be denied that technology enables people to live a better and more convenient life today. People have been enjoying high-tech products such as smart phones, car navigation system, and laptops, to name a few. However, it does not mean that those high-tech tools make our life easier now than in the past. In fact, technology makes our life far more complicated today as illustrated in the following parts.High-tech tools can save lots of labor work, but sometimes they are not as “smart” as we expect. I would like to use car navigation system as an example. In the past, people could only refer to printed maps to find ways to their destinations. Nowadays, car navigation system can automatically find the right path for us. It seems that car navigation system is far more convenient than printed maps. However, in order to install the system, we need to download the digital maps before ahead and make sure that our destinations are recognizable. If the system fails to recognize the destination, it sometimes does not stop navigating, but lead us to somewhere else. Once I was driving from California to a Native American Reservation in Arizona, the car navigation failed to find the right path and led me to a small town that I had never heard of. Fortunately, I found a gas station and the employees there showed me the correct way. My own experience shows that high-tech products might not be always as reliable as we expect.Another example of how technology has made our life more complicated is online shopping. Nowadays, more and more people choose to shop clothes online, so to save time and efforts. Admittedly, shopping online is convenient to some extent compared with going to a shopping mall, because we could stay at home and check out with several clicks. All we need to do then is to wait until our new clothes are delivered to us. However, many people had terrible shopping experience in that the colors and designs of those clothes are not exactly the same as they are described online. Moreover, the size might not fit us, which is not expected either. In this case, we need to follow a complicated returning process, completing forms needed for returning and going to the local express service to send the clothes back. The process of returning is extremely daunting, which usually takes a long time for us to get our money back.Based on the above discussion, it could be concluded that sometimes technology is not as convenient as we expect. Should we just refuse to use high-tech products? I do not think so. I believe that modern technology is still developing, and it will definitely make our life more and more comfortable and convenient in the future.

　　2.The government should give priority to improving healthcare than to solving environmental problems. Do you agree or disagree?

　　Many people have been complaining that the health care system in my home country needs to be improved. Thus they believe that it is the government’s top priority to build more hospitals, to purchase advanced equipment, as well as to provide patients with more medical subsidies. However, to my understanding, the government should focus more on handling environmental issues in that it is closely related to our living environment. Besides, some environmental problems are also causes of certain diseases.To begin with, environmental problems such as pollution has become the cause of certain diseases, which means that only by solving those problems could help prevent people from getting sick. For example, in big cities, air pollution resulted from gas emission could probably cause asthma or even lung cancer. According to a recent survey, the particles of PM 2.5, one type of air pollution today, contain harmful substance, and could stay for a long time in the air. Once people breathe those particles in, the substance will definitely harm our physical health. In this sense, solving air pollution problem is the best way to prevent people from those diseases. Otherwise, no matter how many hospitals are built and how innovative the facilities in hospitals are, people still cannot stay away from diseases. Therefore, before improving health care system, it is better for the government to handle environmental issues in the first place.Moreover, solving environmental problems could help improving our living condition in general. Based on my own experience, when living in a pleasant environment, I could maintain a positive mental status. Being positive could benefit us both physically and mentally. On the contrary, if the pollution problems are not solved and the endangered animals are still skilled constantly, it is not difficult to imagine that the earth will become a place that is no longer suitable for people to live in. If we do not give a country’s priority to solving environmental problems from now on, we will regret for today’s choice sooner or later.Based on the above discussion, I strongly advocate that the government considers handling environmental issues as its top priority rather than improving health care system. This is because that improving our living condition and reducing different types of pollution could benefit human beings in a long run.

　　3.Do you agree or disagree with the statement: Governments have done enough to educate the people the importance of a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating.

　　Do you have a healthy lifestyle? Before answering this question, we should first identify what is the standards of a healthy lifestyle. To enjoy a healthy lifestyle, a person should practice behaviors that could lead to positive outcomes, like enough sleeping, balanced eating, proper exercising, little stress, harmonious relationship and so on. Considering these standards, however, we might say few of the public are leading a healthy lifestyle and in my opinion, this is mostly because governments have not tried their best to educate people about healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.Admittedly, there are some efforts made already by government spreading the importance of health. However, these are only few and rarely generate impacts on public healthy lifestyle. A common phenomenon in modern society is that due to poor awareness aroused, increasing number of people, especially in large cities, work overtime, drink excessively and stay up late. At the same time, due to limited fund from government, sports facilities in community can only meet needs of a small number of residents, thus leading to lack of physical exercise in general. As a result, more people even the young are found to be in sub-health condition. This worrying trend indicates that government needs to do more to educate people the significance of a healthy lifestyle.Similarly, the endeavor that government has made in educating the importance of balanced eating is far from enough, especially that in food safety supervision. This in my country is particularly evident since there are variety of food safety incidents reported in China. For example, the Sanlu Milk Powder scandal which revealed that the powder added Melamine in order to increase the protein content of the milk can perfectly show the lack of supervision of food safety. Although since then Chinese government have carried out some policies to improve food hygiene, ironically, increasing number of Chinese people nowadays prefer to pay more for oversea products but have little confidence in domestic ones. If government had done enough to improve food safety, then there would be little possibility for the trend to appear.To sum up, I disagree with the statement that the government has done enough in educating people the significance of healthy lifestyle and balanced eating due to the facts that more people are suffering from health problem and less confidence is shown to local food safety.

　　4.Some people say that students should study many lessons during a semester, but others say that it is better for students to just take three or four lessons. Which do you think is better?

　　Nowadays, schools are offering students a large range of courses, from traditional literacy to recently created courses, such as foreign language studies, financial management, and risk management, to name a few. Some people believe that students should choose as many courses as they could, whereas others argue that taking three or four courses one semester is enough. To my understanding, it is more appropriate to take three or four courses a semester.Taking three or four courses one semester could enable students to develop their own interests and build their social network during leisure time, so that students will become more versatile and outgoing in the future. Generally speaking, it is not extremely difficult for students to complete assignments of three or four courses a semester. Therefore, most of the students could have sufficient time to participate in some beneficial activities, such as volunteering in the community, hanging out with friends, or working out at the gym, among others. Those activities, unlike study, enable students to do things that they like and to communicate with people who share the same interests with them. During this process, students will enjoy developing their own interests and build their social network, which will definitely benefit them in the future.Moreover, choosing three or four courses instead of too many courses per semester could help students relax and maintain a positive attitude towards life. According to a recent survey, more and more children today are suffering from depression because they are forced to study extremely hard. In order to avoid this type of mental disease, students should not spend too many efforts on academic study. In this sense, by taking three or four courses a semester, students could have time to play and relax during their leisure time, so to relieve the stress caused by academic requirements.Admittedly, taking many courses a semester, students might have the opportunity to learn more knowledge, including useful skills and practices that are beneficial to students’ future. However, once students become tired and feel stressful, they will become less motivated in learning, which will negatively influence their academic performance in all classes as a result.Based on the above discussion, it is obvious that students should not sign up too many courses a semester. Taking three or four courses is more appropriate and beneficial from the perspectives of developing students’ interests and keeping a positive mental status.

　　5.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People care more about public recognition than about money. Even if no money is given, public recognition can still make people work harder.

　　Nowadays, many employees are struggling with their works, squashing into the subway every morning to workplaces and working on overwhelming assignments everyday. It is obvious that their hardworking should be rewarded. Some people argue that public recognition as reward is enough to drive people to work harder, and people do not really care about money. As far as I am concerned, I do not believe so.Admittedly, public recognition could drive employees to work harder to a certain extent, because people need others’ appreciation and encouragement towards their works. However, public recognition could motivate employees only for a short time. In a long run, people need money to support their living and to entertain during vocations so as to relax and get prepared for future work. If people are paid with little money, they could neither support their living nor afford entertainment. Even if those people’s works are highly appreciated by others, those complements and appreciations cannot be transformed into money and support people’s life. Therefore, it is inconclusive to assume that people care more public recognition than about money.Further, money rewards do not always take the form of cash or salary. To my understanding, better health care, comfortable working environment as well as other forms of material rewards all belongs to money rewards. Smart managers in a company will provide hard working employees with better health care opportunities and better facilities and equipment. All those types of material rewords could help workers develop a sense of belonging, thus they will become more willing to contribute to the company’s development. On the contrary, public recognition cannot benefit employees in the same way as money rewards. It is less possible that employees consider themselves as an indispensible part of the company if they are just spiritually respected and appreciated by others. In this sense, people are not satisfied with public recognition without complementary money reward, let alone to work harder in a company.To sum up, there is no enough evidence that people prefer public recognition than money as reward of hard work. In order to support living and to develop a sense of belonging in a company, it is necessary to provide employees with more material rewards which could drive them to work harder in a long run.
