托福口說測驗 Task1~2回答佳作(5) 

1. Taks： Describe a book that you believe is the most useful to you. Please explain the  reason and include specific examples and details in your explanation.

 Answer 1 ： “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Right! The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway is the most important book for me.  When I was in the abyss of despair for the career blow, I met this book in the library and was immediately fascinated by it because this book gave me insights into the concept of failure which means to get up again and never stop chasing one‛s dream.  I had also learned what is hero—a hero is the one who dares to face the frustration, who dares to challenge the difficult, who dares to overcome his own, and who eventually conquers the defeat.  The book helps me to go regain my courage for future, and finally I went out of the nightmares and then got a booming development in my career.  So, the Old man and Sea is definitely the most important book for me.

Answer 2：The most useful book for me is the English dictionary. Firstly, many English words have more than one meaning and always confuse me. The dictionary can help me get over by offering many detailed explanations and examples. In addition, I can also learn how to apply the new words into writing and speaking by studying the examples earnestly.Furthermore, I can learn a lot of knowledge beside new words. For example, it is very likely that a good dictionary illustrate a specific animal or plant with a picture. Thus, we get more information out of the dictionary.

2. Taks： Which of the following statements do your agree with? Please give  specific reasons for your opinion. Some believe that TV programs have a  positive influence on modern society. Others, however, think that the influence of TV programs is negative.

 Answer 1：Personally speaking, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides. Firstly, the television has significantly made our world smaller. Through news broadcasting in the television, we can be informed of what is happening in all around the world even without stepping out our living room. For example, my classmates and I watched Obama‛s inauguration thousands of miles away from American. Without television, this would not able to come true. Secondly, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a day‛s hard work. And it is also a good way to enhance the affections between family members. So, I think that television has more positive effects than its negative sides.

 Answer 2： As far as I am concerned, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides. First, from the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it. And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard day‟s work. What‟s more, its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and has a great influence on the way people think and talk. 

3. Taks： Describe the most important decision that you made in your life.

Answer 1：The most important decision that I have made in my life is to study in Nanjing. You know, my hometown is very small and remote, but Nanjing is a cosmopolitan city. It is in this city that I gained many opportunities to develop myself.  For one thing, being elected the president of Student Union, I was able to cooperate with student leaders from the other colleges in the city.  For another, as the volunteer leader for the 4th Session of the World Urban Forum held in Nanjing last year. I interviewed people from all over the world, such as the officers from Asian Development Bank. And this enriched my experience.  All of these add to my love of this city. So the decision to study in Nanjing is the most important I have ever made.

Answer 2：Personally speaking, the most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose marketing as my major in university, as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so in order to learn it well, I have to learn various subjects such as international trade and brand management. What‟s more, I‟m little timidity in front of challenges such as doing the presentation and negotiation, I guess most of the people may have this kind of stage fright, So marketing is a major can definitely anneal myself. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. Finally, I got the highest GPA in my grade.

4. Taks：Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science?

Answer：Music and art should be important components of the school curriculum because they have many uses besides recreation.  To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with other basic areas of the curriculum. Such as math, science, social studies, languages, and physical education. Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for developing self-expression and creativity.  On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value. Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing.  Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school.
