2013年8月17日托福口语真题解析 1. Which of the following qualities do you admire the most (or would be most interested in getting?) Art skills, language skills or sport skills? Use details and explanations in your response. 参考答案 I admire art skills the most out of the three choices. Photography is my favorite art form. First of all, taking photos is fun!

Second, Every second that you live is a second more in the past. Every picture that is taken captures those split seconds and stores them timelessly. Pictures are a chart of memories and moments that can be revisited as they were when the image is viewed. 2. Some people prefer to celebrate special occasions like birthdays with their friends, others prefer to be alone at such occasions. Which do you prefer? Use examples and details to support your response. 参考答案 I prefer to celebrate my birthdays with my friends for the following reasons. First of all, having a party is a great way to celebrate special occasions, and you can’t have a party by yourself. The more friends, the merrier! People can have a great time singing and dancing together. When there’re people around, we can take tons of photos of each other. On the other hand, I think it’s pretty depressing to celebrate special occasions alone. Humans are social animals, which means it’s healthy to interact with each other and share our feelings. 3.一学生给学校写信说图书馆一直都是10pm关门，临考也是，觉得不合理，建议24小时全开，便于学生彻夜查资料假期可以关门，还有可以收费什么的。听力一哥们觉得这一建议rediculous，因为好像是phycolgy课上说过熬夜不利于健康，而且假期有很多人要用图书馆作研究，收费什么不合理…… Reading Student suggestion: the school should keep the library open 24 hours during final exams instead of closing up at 10pm Reason 1: students have more time for researches Reason 2: a small fee can be charged Listening: Man disagrees Reason 1: the school shouldnt encourage students to work all night long, it’s not healthy nor productive,
