      新东方托福考试网提醒:机经仅供参考,能力提升才是重点。 

      第一题12

      1. Describe your favorite place to study.

      I would say my most favorite place to study is the coffee shop. when I need to do some schoolwork, I would stay inside of the coffee shop, it is so quiet and I can concentrate on my assignments, like writing papers, and even preparing for exams. when I feel like to practice my speaking English, I can always have the choice to go outside sit around the patios to read out loud. Despite all these advantages, I can enjoy a cup of good-tasting coffee. Also, if I am hungry, I will get some cookies and that will give me enough energy to study.

      2. Describe an experience that you worked well with another person. Explain why that experience is important to you. Include reasons and details to support your response.

      I would say my first internship in a local bank in my community is very precious to me. I worked together with Tony Wang, he worked there for lots of years, and he is a very nice guy and willing to help newcomers to grow in a professional setting and he taught me a lot, I owe him a lot.

      Since I was not familiar with way that people do their works in the bank, he told me it is important for me to be sensible and aware of the dynamics in the company and keep a low profile. He offered to help me with working procedures and treated me like a little brother.

      3. Talk about an interesting school activity that you participated in recently. Give details to support your response.

      Actually, there are lots of school activities one can do, like working out in the gym, reading books in the library, and stuff like that. I would say I like to work out and play sports in the gym most.

      In our school, we have a very up to standard gym. There are lots of facilities in it, like a very nice swimming pool, basketball court, badminton court and stuff like that. As a college student I am busy with all kinds of assignments like papers, group projects and even presentations. Go ahead, and playing some sports is of great fun, cuz I can relax myself and totally forget my pressure in my study.

      4. Which of the following volunteer work would you choose and why? 1. Working as a home tutor 2. Helping adults 3. Helping old people.

      If I were given a chance to do some volunteer work, I would help the seniors. Now there are more and more retirees in my country, and the nursing homes and senior center are not doing a very good job to help the seniors. There are quite a few things that I can do to help the seniors, I can read them newspapers, to help them get access to what is happening around the world. I also could assist them to tidy up their rooms so they might have a very good mood every day. Apart from that, I can just talk with them, seniors get lonely easily, and by interacting with them, they will feel a sense of belong to the community and there are someone out there who care about them. With all the above reasons and more, I would volunteer to help seniors.

      5. Describe a job you admired but you will NOT choose it yourself.

      I think the job that I admire is the government official, I would say it is the most challenging profession, they are responsible to solve complex social problems like, education, Medicare, and the economy of the region or country. These issues are just tricky and hard to deal with. Another reason that I admire them is that they have to sacrifice their private life to public scrutiny and they have no privacy, it's like living in a golden fish in a bowl. This is a very noble profession, however I admire the profession, I would not dare to become a government official.

      6. Talk about an organization or a club that you would like to join. Explain why you would like to join this organization? Please include reasons and details in your response.

      I would like to join in the swimming club, cuz if I joined the club, I would have a chance to compete together with my teammates to represent my university. That would be a great honor for me. In some competitions, I have to work with my teammates to win the game, and it gives me a strong sense of belonging and I feel I am needed by the team, my teammate and I would cheer up each other and get inspirations, encouragements from my fellow teammates. On top of that, I am a big swimming fan, when I am swimming in the pool, I feel so relaxed and it is a very good way to keep fit.

      7. Which of the following Art classes would you be more interested in taking? Wood Sculpture, Painting or Photography?

      I would say I like to take the photography class, I have a very genuine interest in photographing, and I am very passionate about expressing myself through imageries. I take pictures to record my own life, and it is a very good way to reflect the past, also I like to help others to remember their precious moments by photos, like their weddings, graduation ceremonies and some other special events. I just feel that when I am not using my camera, there is a void in my life. But I still need to get better in photographing, so I would like to take this class.

      8. Describe an important day in your life.

      The most important day in my life was my college graduation day. I graduated from a prestigious university in the Unites States, but it was challenging for me. Four years before I graduated from college, the first time I set foot on the land of America, I felt so isolated and had tremendous language barriers. However, during my four years in college, I not only improved my English language proficiency, but also kept a high GPA and was on the dean's list every year. But, I know that this day does not come easily, it symbolizes the time and effort I put to get my diploma.

      9. Which of the following community service would you choose and why? 1. help child do their homework 2. teaching adults use computer 3. clean city park

      If I got a chance to do some community service, I would like to choose to clean the city park. Well, in my city, people do not really pay attention to environment protection. There are rampant littering, and spitting everywhere. The park is supposed to be place where citizens can have fun and get some relaxation. Unfortunately, it is not very neat and clean. I would like to make it a better place for community members to enjoy themselves, and by consciously participating this kind of activity, hopefully, I can influence my friends and strangers around me so that they will be aware that environment protection is really urgent.

      10. Describe a type of music that you would like not to listen to.

      Well, this is a very interesting question and I have never thought about it. Generally, I like all kinds of music that is catchy and rhythmic. Since I am a person who likes peace and inner solitude, so I guess I do not like to listen to music that is very harsh and noisy, like rock and roll, and I think heavy metal is the worst. The only reason I listen to music is to get some relaxation and enjoy my free time, however whenever I listen to heavy metal, I feel I am so disturbed and very uncomfortable.

      11. Describe a way of life in your country has been changed and why it is beneficial.

      I would say the big change in my country is the construction of the express train or bullet train to put it in another way. To begin with, it is now super convenient for people to travel somewhere, like, in the past, it took me 5 hours to go to Beijing by regular train. Now it only takes me an hour and a half and actually it is not so expensive. Secondly, speaking on a larger perspective, the construction of the express train helps to boast the economy of the country. For instance, lots of jobs are created, cuz new rail ways need to be built, so more worker are needed.

      12. Describe a family member who has a different personality from you and explain why?

      I would my dad has a totally different personality from me. I am very passionate and optimistic person, and I like constantly taking challenges in my life and do something that I have never experienced before, like studying abroad. However, my dad is quite a conservative person, he would never do something that will make him stand out, and frankly, he is kind of pessimistic and sometimes cynical about the world, specifically, he would complain about negative things in life instead of thinking on the bright side.

      第二题12

      1. Some like do jobs with different tasks and others prefer to do the same task every day. Which one do you prefer?

      I would like to choose a job that requires me to do lots of tasks. First of all, sitting in the office and repeating the same task again and again can be killing. I will be really bored doing these repetitive tasks, and my working efficiency will be very low. Secondly, doing lots of tasks can develop myself to be a well-rounded person, now the job market is very competitive. If you are trained to do different kind of tasks in a professional setting, you will be more attractive in the job market, thus have a better shot in getting a higher-paid job.

      2. Some people think that employees should be required to wear formal suits by their bosses. Other people think that employees should be required to wear casual clothes by their bosses. What is your opinion and why?

      I think professionals should wear formal suits instead of casual outfits. Firstly, wearing suits and ties can showcase their professionalism. I have never seen professionals like lawyers, salesmen, or businessmen dress in casual outfits when they are working in a professional environment. Secondly, requirement on dressing code is a kind of a discipline that all the employees should observe in workplaces, when they are dressed up, they will feel a sense of responsibility and thus spare no effort to accomplish bigger goals, based on these reasons, I think employees should definitely be required to wear suits in a working environment.

      3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? University students need to study harder in school in order to get a job upon graduation.

      Personally, I disagree that university students should study harder in order to get a job upon graduation. The real reason that a fresh graduate cannot get a job is that they lack soft skills, like communication skills, leadership and even organization skills. Corporations place great importance on these skills, and they are decisive to get a job in the future. Studying hard and getting a high GPA has nothing to do with getting a job in the future. Instead, they should socialize with different people and enlarge their social network, after they get enough valuable connections, they will have no problem finding a job.

      4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

      Children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do. Use specific reasons and examples to support you answer.

      Personally, I definitely think that children should do household tasks as soon as they are old enough. Lots of important qualities can be developed through such activities as doing housework. Children will learn to be responsible person, and that is a like cornerstone to lead them to become a better person. On top of that, children will get a sense of achievement when competing the house chores, their parents might even give them some reward like buy them toys or offer them some pocket money. Through such activities, children will be likely to be very determined and motivated when they do bigger projects in their adulthood and be successful.

      5. Some people prefer to buy innovative high-tech products like cell phones and computers when they first came out, others would buy them after the price has been decreased. Which do you prefer and why?

      I would say I like to buy innovative high-tech products after the price goes down, and I have a few reasons for support. First and foremost, products with cutting edge and state of the art technology are usually very expensive when they first come out, and as a college student I do not have lost money to waste on that, cuz I have to pay college tuition, textbooks and stuff like that. Additionally, we consume technological products for its convenience and they will be as valuable and convenient as they firstly show up in the market, so it is more advisable to buy that after a while.

      6. If you have time, would you choose to learn to play a new musical instrument or learn to play a sport.

      I would definitely choose to play a new sport. I find it very relaxing when I play sports, it helps me to release my tension and depression that I got from both my life and study. Apart from that, playing sports is a very good way to keep healthy and try to be in good shape. It helps you to build up some muscles and be athletic, it is also good for your cardio vascular system. Lastly, I get a chance to meet new friends and broaden my social network when playing a sport, getting to know different people is a very thrilling experience for me.

      7. Some people like to stay at home and reading books or studying, while others like to socialize and relax with friends. Which do you prefer?

      I would say I definitely will hang out with my friends, as an extremely outgoing individual, I find it more interesting when spending time with friends like doing karaoke, eating out in a fine restaurant, and even playing some sports. By interacting with my friends, I get quite a few benefits, like I can broaden my horizon and have unique perspective on things. Also, when we do stuff together, I feel like I can connect more with them emotionally, and that helps to sustain our friendship forever, and I think it is safe to say that at least human beings are social animals, we need to socialize with people to be happy and fulfilling.

      8. Some students prefer to study for only one long time during a week. Others students prefer to study for several short times during a week. Which way do you prefer and why?

      I prefer to study for several short times instead of studying for a long time during a week and have the following reason for support. You know, as a college student I am very busy with all kinds of studies, we have different kinds of assignments, like presentations, group projects, papers to write and exams. Studying for several short time makes it possible for us to take a rest once in a while, however, studying for a long time during a week without any break will kill me and of course, we will be so worn out and not as productive as studying for several short time.

      9. Some people like to participate in activities alone, others like to do that with a team or group. Which way do you prefer and why?

      Personally, I would like to participate in activities in a group, I am an extrovert and outgoing person, and I think it is more fun when there are people around me. Plus, I can also learned the importance of cooperation and responsibility when I am with a team, for example in a sport competition, me and my teammate struggle together for a common goal, offer each other motivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myself during the game, and I think this is very meaningful.

      10. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Watching TV is not a way to use time.

      I think it really depends, TV programs like documentaries can be very informative, and they target different kinds of audience. They cover lots of topics like sports, animal world, history, and even religions. you can really learn a lot about all kinds of stuff. It is very good to watch these shows, however, if someone is indulged in watching meaningless TV programs like different kind of reality shows and even some of the TV sit-coms, it might cast a huge negative impact on their study and work. To sum up, it you are capable of striking a balance between watching good TV shows and meaningless one, watching TV is very good way to use time.

      11. Do you prefer to live in a place where you have access to transportations and shops or somewhere distant but quiet areas.

      Living in a place where there is no noise is absolutely my choice. A place like the suburb or country far away from the noise and pollution is very favorable to me, even though it might not be convenient to live in. I hate the hustle and bustle of the city. Particularly, I spend almost all my life living in the city to suffer the noise and be choked by the polluted air, I want to get away from the city. I like the solitude, clear skies, and peaceful evenings in the suburbs or country and it is pretty romantic. Living in suburbs or country makes it possible for me to be close to mother nature.

      12. Some people like participate an activity in a team, other like to do that alone. Which way do you prefer and why?

      Personally, I would like to participate in activities in a group, I am an extrovert and outgoing person, and I think it is more fun when there are people around me. Plus, I can also learned the importance of cooperation and responsibility when I am with a team, for example in a sport competition, me and my teammate struggle together for a common goal, offer each other motivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myself during the game, and I think this is very meaningful.
