托福聽力測驗 -真題 (2-1)
這篇托福的聽力內容是在告訴學生關於學校內的一項社區服務的相關內容，不難理解內容，因此這題的關鍵就是如何快速整理出就該社區服務的介紹，以及負責教授和登記時間等一些細節，這也都是可能在美國求學時可能會在面試或著校園遇到的普通日常。

( Man )   Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind .You education majors might be especially interested in because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching -that is, tutoring in math and English.   You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.   Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors-he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.   I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service... and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too-showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Profession Dodge's office this week.
