托福学生类的口语话题练习

　　1. What kind of characteristics or components should a good school have?

　　Well, personally, I think prestigious universities should have better facilities, sciencestudents depend on lab equipments to test theories in books, just learning theories withoutexperiment in the lab is too boring and unproductive, so facilities, like research centers arevery important.

　　On top of that, professors are the key resource of a university, cuz they are the ones whocan motivate the students and develop their skills and make them more creative, thus givingthe students a better chance to be successful in the future.

　　2. Some students prefer to study in a library. Others prefer to study at home or indormitories. Which way do you prefer and why? Include reasons and details in your response.

　　I would say I'd like to study in the library. The most obvious reason is that it is very quietin the library, and I can fully focus on your work and nothing can distract me. There are justtoo much distraction to study at home, I can lay on my bed and play computer games when Ifeel bored, it is just not that productive compared to studying in the library. Plus, studying inthe library, I feel like people around me are also studying, and that is a motivation for me toconcentrate on my own work. For these reasons, I would say I like to study in the library.

　　3. Talk about a subject you enjoy learning in school.

　　Well, English is the subject that I like most. I have great motivation to learn English, tobegin with, I find English not very difficult to learn, and actually it is pretty easy to pick up.Unlike other subjects like math, physics, which are pretty abstract and boring to learn. It isvery cool to be able to speak a foreign language, and I can make friends with people who arefrom distinctive cultural backgrounds, thus I got a chance to talk to foreigners and get toknow their culture, customs and way of living. By interacting with them I can broaden myhorizon and have new perspective on things, and I bet I can learn from them enormously.

　　4. Talk about two schools which you attended and their differences.

　　Well, the first school that I attended in the US is called XXXXX, it's located in a very smalltown with a population less than 20 thousand. The professor seems to know everyone,because the class size is very small. so everyone got a chance to discuss with the professorabout academic problems. The second university I went to is university of XXXX, thisuniversity is in decent size with a big campus, there is about 30000 students and facultiesaltogether. I like the second one because it's a big athletic university and I am big collegesports fan. I follow Mizzou basketball and football very closely.

　　5. Which of the following do you think is the best way to get to know a new school, joininga one-day campus tour, spending a weekend on a campus playing field or auditing the lectures?

　　Personally, I would say auditing class is the best way to know the university better, sincefaculty members are an indispensable part of the university. Their knowledge，teaching skillsand even the way they teach the class represent the university. The values they uphold in theclass are the ones that are cherished by the university. Plus, when auditing class, one can tell ifthere are lots of class discussions or not, also, they get to know the size of the class. Theseare important factors when choosing a university since nobody wants to attend a school, whoseclass size are too big, because in a big class one cannot interact with their peers andprofessors.

　　6. A friend of yours always gets up late in the morning and misses his morning classes. Theprofessor has told him that this behavior will affect his grade. What advice would you give himand why?

　　Personally, I would suggest him sleep early, actually he should go to bed before 10 o'clock,and then he can take a good rest, hence the next day he can go to the class refreshed.Additionally, I would say he should talk to the professor and ask him or her if it is possible forhim to make up the absence in another way, like doing an extra credit assignment and I bet ifhe is sincere enough, the professor will understand his tough situation and might say yes tohim, so eventually he can keep a higher GPA.

　　7. Some students like to choose university with a high reputation but no scholarship,others prefer to choose a university with scholarship but less reputable. Which one do you liketo choose?

　　Well, personally, I would prefer to study in a less well known university with a scholarship.To begin with, the university tuition can be really expensive, and getting scholarship can helpme to relieve my financial pressure. Consequently, I can concentrate on my study.Additionally, most of the time, one needs to be research assistant or teaching assistant uponreceiving the scholarship. These teaching and research experience will be very helpful for myfuture, like when I plan to apply for a graduate school and even future jobs, and I will get abetter to achieve my dreams in the future.

　　8. Some people think that the best way to learn is to attend lectures. Others think that it isbetter to learn on their own. Which do you prefer and why?

　　Well, personally, I prefer to attend lectures. Actually, studying alone can be boring and Iam the kind of person who likes to interact with others when learning. By attending lectures, Iget a chance to hear multiple points of view, although some points might not be as thought-provoking, I can learn a lot of stuff beyond the textbooks anyway, and understand how anidea works in real life when other students share their personal experiences. Additionally, theprofessor who holds the lecture can make difficult and abstract concepts and ideas easy tounderstand, one might not be able to understand some materials when studying alone.

　　9. Do you like to buy new books or used books. Use specific reasons and examples tosupport your answer.

　　I would say I prefer buying used books. As a college students, professors sometimesrequire students to buy textbooks, and most of the time, the textbooks can be reallyexpensive, you might easily spend over $100 on a single book. That is a lot for a college kid.Additionally, most of the time used books are not that crappy, you can use it, and take noteson it and highlight the important part, it has no impact on your study at all. So based onthese reasons, I find it more reasonable to buy used books at a cheaper price.

　　10. Some people like to listen to audio books, others like to read paper books. Which doyou prefer and why?

　　Well, personally, I prefer to read paper books. It is true that one can listen to audio bookspractically everywhere. You can listen on the bus, or in bed before you fall asleep. However, Istill prefer to read book myself since I can get more involved when reading myself. What I amtrying to say is that the person who reads the audio book sometimes doesn't tell the story theway that I like. I mean I might not like the tone of their voice, and sometimes I find that I zoneout and miss important parts of the book when I listen to audio books.
