新托福口语考试独立口语题目汇总(二)
8. If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do?(06. 7.29; 06. 11.18考题)
Sample answer:
If
I could freely choose any job, I would choose a job where I could do
something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. Definitely it
would be something helping people.
Teaching of course is sort of
that kind of job---- if you do it properly you can certainly help
people. Traditionally in China teachers have been very respected; we
have a saying a teacher for a day is a father for life.
Nowadays,
attitudes are changing, and perhaps people are more realistic. But my
dream isn't changing. I wouldn't be helping them materially but I could
give them a lot of pleasure and lighten their days.
I love teaching
and I want it to be my whole life's career ‘cause I feel I really am
contributing something to people's lives, to help them.
9.Describe the most important letter or essay you've ever written. (07. 3.23考题)
Sample answer:
The
most important letter that I can remember was a letter applying for a
job. I had seen this job advertised in a local newspaper, the evening
edition. It suited me very much and I was immediately attracted to it.
It said to apply in writing, giving details of your experience, your
education and when you were available,and you had to give the names and
contacts of two references. I was qualified for the job and eager to get
it.
When I was finished writing I was pretty satisfied and a little
pleased, posted it off to the address given and waited! Thankfully,
before I sweated too much, I got a letter after a couple of days, saying
they wanted me to come in for interview. I was very pleased to go for
the interview and got the job, my first job!
三、【地方类】about places
10. Where do you like to go when you are with friends? And why? (06. 1.14; 06. 2.11考题)
Sample answer:
As for the place, I’d like to go to Qianfo
Mountain. The reasons why I enjoy going there are, firstly, going there
can make us feel relaxed, especially after one day’s of work, we just go
there to jog and listening to the natural sound such as the wind, all
this can help us relax. Secondly, Qianfo mountain is famous for the
Buddha there, it is said that it has more than 1000 Buddha there, and
that is why it is called Qianfo mountain, people would like to visit
historical places. Thirdly, every time I go there, I could do some
sports there with my friends cause there is a sports center in the
mountain, we just play basketball, volleyball, and something like that,
which are quite essential to our health.
When I'm with friends, I like to go to the restaurant. We would head
for some exotic (异国情调的,外国的)restaurant where we would choose our favorite
dishes. And also, it should be one of the restaurants where the
waitresses do not talk too much or disturb you. I would like to find a
secluded(隐蔽的,角落里的) table just for 3 or 4, perhaps with a panoramic
view(全景) over a river or the lights of the city. We would have some very
mellow(醇香的), warming red wine in sparkling glasses twinkling in the
candlelight, the hues(色调) and aroma(香味) filling our senses. We would eat
slowly and carelessly for the joy of sharing and of being together. Our
senses heightened, breathing deeply to the point of silent sighs, we
would enjoy an endless evening there. That's the right place where I
don't want to end our gathering.
11、Describe a public area that you
visit frequently. Please state why you visit it frequently and include
specific examples and details in your explanation.(06. 1.21; 06.
11.17考题)
Sample answer:
I usually go to Beihai Park when I have
the time and opportunity. I can go for a stroll in the park to relax.
The park has some trees, and interesting and winding paths, where I can
wander listlessly and contemplate my own thoughts or admire the various
stages of nature. Sometimes I just like to feel the breeze on my face
and savor(品尝) its coolness. It gives me a sense of freedom. It also has a
lake on which I can go boating. I often go to the park with my friends
on weekends. And we'll have a picnic if we stay there for the whole day.
12. Describe a school you’ve ever attended. (06. 9.23考题)
Sample answer:
The school I'd like to talk about is Beijing New Oriental School where I took my TOEFL course.
What
I like about the school is that I can meet almost the best teachers in
the country. They are so talented, eloquent(有口才的), knowledgeable and
humorous that I don't feel any bored in class. A 2.5 -hour class passes
very quickly. One more good thing about the school is that I can meet
people from different parts of the country and make friends with them.
We have a lot in common, sharing the same passion, the same stage, even
the same learning difficulties which we encounter(遇到) and then discuss
and finally work out together. Living on campus offers us much time to
communicate and to share experiences.
Actually there's a lot to say about my school, but the points above are what I mainly want to cover.
13. Describe your favorite room either of your own house or in other places and explain why.(07. 1.12考题)
My
favorite room is the living room. I like lots of open space and a sense
of expansiveness, of freedom(宽敞和自由的感觉). Also, it's a place where I can
look around and not feel agitated(不安的) or confined(受限制的). All different
but natural colors have a such lovely warm effect that I would never get
tired of it. Everything is in harmony----- large digital TV on the
wall, glass-made tea table, beautiful plants, couch and sofa, a good
book, a good wine. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and away from
hurly burly(喧嚣). It is at times a place to contemplate and at times a
place to share with friends.
In a word, it is graceful, refined, comfortable and restful .
