2013年托福考试口语练习题及模板（1）

　　Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? Include details and examples to support your opinion.(05. 12.2 考题)

　　Yeah, I think music and art should be included in high school curricula as other basic science.First, music and art can provide entertainment and pleasure for people. If a person has learned how to understand and enjoy music and art, he would enjoy his life better.Second, music and art present us with insight into the internal and universal nature of humanity. In this sense, they are as important as other basic science. For example, an impressionist painting or a Beethoven symphony or the ballet Swan Lake,they are all a revelation of human spirits or weaknesses.What’s more, the process of exploring music and art can develop students’ creativity and their ability of expressing their own thoughts in unique ways. I think the inspirations from music and art can improve people’s creativity.

　　Do you think sports courses should be a required part of every school day? (06. 9.23 考题)

　　Definitely they should. I have got a couple of reasons here.First, in sports classes, students will do a lot of exercises which benefit their health a lot.Second, sports courses can foster interests in sports among students. This is very important you know if they love a kind of sports they would play it regularly all through their life. Thus, the benefits of doing exercises will last for a life time.What’s more, in sports classes, students will participate in team-played sports games such as basketball and football. In these games, they will learn to cooperate with each other. You know, in this society, teamwork and cooperation are of vital importance.

　　Also, these games will enhance their friendship.Some students like classes where teachers lecture in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer?Well, I prefer the latter one.I find it’s quite boring in classes where the teachers lecture and students just listen. In this type of class, I often fall asleep in the tedious lecture. I believe many students have the same experience. The problem is that teachers and students can’t interact, as a result students can’t follow the teacher’s points and the reasoning process.However, if we could do some of the talking, teachers and students could have an efficient communication in the interaction, I mean , an exchange of thoughts.What’s more, when a student puts forward a viewpoint in his talk, others might be inspired and think over it further. The atmosphere of the class would be very active and the students would think more and learn more.

　　Do you agree or disagree that college students should do an internship before graduation? (07. 5.18 考题)

　　In my opinion, I would definitely agree with this point.The first reason is that an internship experience is very important for a college student to find a job. You know, we have learned a lot of theoretical knowledge but it is not enough for us to do well in our practical jobs. We need to do some practical jobs and get some experience which can help us understand the knowledge better. Only by combining theory and practice can we have good performance in our future work.The second reason is that by doing an internship students could get to know more about the career he might take up after he graduates. For example, a student majored in electronics may find it too tedious to do circuit designs in his internship and he could consider doing something else such as computer programming.

　　Do you agree or disagree that students will learn more when they have discussions? (07. 6.24 考题)

　　I definitely agree with this viewpoint.First of all, in a discussion many different views would be put forward and each participator could be inspired by each other’s viewpoints. And in the process, wrong points are thrown away and correct and rational points are kept. So each participator could form a more comprehensive view of the problem and have a better understanding of it.What’s more, regular discussions among students could foster a sense of teamwork and enhance their friendship be effective communications.

　　Some people believe that students who want to go to university after graduation from high school should have about one year’s time to get a job to obtain work experience or have a travel to enlarge their vision. Do you agree or disagree? What’s your opinion? (07. 8.11 考题)

　　I disagree with this viewpoint.First, I think it’s not worthy to spend a year to do those things. Work experience is not necessary for a person to attend university, because you are supposed to study mainly theoretical knowledge in university. The foundation you have laid in your high school is enough for you to begin your college study. In fact, you can take an internship after two or three years study to obtain experience.Second, university is the best place to enlarge a person’s vision so a travel before going to university is unnecessary.Third, consider the potential uses of such a long time, you could do many more useful things. You could attend many campus activities, you could volunteer in some organizations, and the most important is that you could finish the first year’s courses, all of which would enlarge your vision and rich your experience.
