[5/20考试回顾]

Task 1

  Describe a behavior that many people maydo in public that find inconsiderable.

  题目分析

  今年四月二十三日如果你考过托福的话你会发现上星期的那道独立题可谓是同出一辙。四月份的题目是你会告诉游客在你国家做什么是不文明的,而上周的考题是要求描述一个在公共场合不为他人考虑的不文明行为。有没有发现这两道题目完全可以用同一个答案呢?

  答题思路

  虽然这种题目表面上很简单,但是越简单的题目越会让大家拿不定主意。只要你觉得别人这样做缺乏公共道德,违背公共秩序,就是不文明的行为。我第一个想到的就是在公共场合大声讲电话因为这是生活中最现实的体验。答案的内容可以加上一个故事(比如说有一天在地铁上你带着耳机在听歌看视频结果旁边有人大声说话影响到你)。其他不文明的行为包括随地吐痰(Spitting),公共场合抽烟 (Smoking in public)或者大声喧哗(Speaking loudly)。

  

Task 2

  Many peoplethink that students study course materials more effectively by taking exams.Others think that students learn more effectively through other activities suchas writing papers or completing projects. Which do you agree and why?

  题目分析

  这类学术性的题目今年出现率还是蛮高的。这些内容跟大部分学生息息相关但是并不是一道容易回答的题目。学生很容易被题目给迷惑选择自己真实的想法导致后面的内容衔接不下去。记住一定要选择比较多内容的那方面去回答。

  答题思路

  谁喜欢考试?但是学生可以通过考试测试到对课堂内容掌握知识的程度。比如说通过考试做数学题的正确率学生能够知道自己有没有掌握到数学公式的运用。通过第二种方法学生也可以学到课堂以外的知识。比如当我们写报告或论文上网查找资料的时候可以学到网上跟题目相关的内容,但是这些内容很有可能跟课堂或考试完全无关。
