1．     考试总体概述：

今日考试难度与本月几场考试的难度相当，没有出现特别难的话题或者听力文本，所以各位同学在课堂一定要积极配合老师，并且认真执行老师制定的学习计划，重视机经的学习和TPO限时训练。

需要特别提醒的是：今日的考试ETS随机抽取了100名同学参加了全新的托福口语加试，加试题型与现有题型差别很大，接近雅思考试的图表题。另外还有类似综合写作的人机对话辩论题。这样就对学生的口语能力提出的新的要求。

以下为对今天考试内容的回忆以及解析：

2．     真题解析：

TASK 1： Which of the following volunteer work would you choose and why?

(1) Working as a home tutor

(2) Helping adults to read

(3) Providing transportation for elder people

教师解析：

遇到这类选择型的题目，同学一定要从自己最熟悉的话题入手。因此，第三个选项为中国同学的“陌生话题”，考试的时候要注意避免“无话可说”的情况。如果选择第二个，可以从你擅长阅读技巧、好的阅读技巧可以让大人发现阅读的乐趣从而放弃不健康的生活习惯、丰富大人的生活、提高大人的文化水平等方面入手。如果想得高分的同学不妨可以找一些构思新颖的素材来做细节部分的补充。

Sample Answer:

I favor the home tutor work for two reasons:

First, it allows me to practice the book knowledge. Math is always my strong point and the trick to hit a high score lies not in learning theorems by rote but using them in solving real math questions. So tutoring others allows me to apply one formula in various exercises which will further sharpen my math skill and let me find the quickest answer to a question.

Second, being a tutor makes me feel important. For instance, my students find me helpful when they are blamed by their family for failing a test but I have the key to help them find their weakness in one subject and make up for it.

TASK 2： Some people prefer the traditional way of working, like going to the office setting, others prefer to work at home. Which one do you prefer?

教师解析：

这个话题的题目相信很多同学都不会陌生，然而，想要高分的话，除了发音要超越FAIR级别的同学，一定要注意语言够地道、细节够创新。

Sample Answer:

If I have the choice, I will definitely working from home coz I believe:

To begin with, it saves me lots of time though stereotypically people assume a good working environment equals to efficiency. Living in a “4-wheel” world today, a large amount of our time is wasted on the road, be it traffic jam or long home-work distance. Since people are hooked up today by one optical fiber, I’d rather start my work on my sunny balcony, hearing the coffee bubble from my kitchen than having to learn to be less impatient and anxious when my car barely moves.

In addition, we work to live so those who work at home are blessed with quality lifestyle. Like I could easily use those “less busy working hour” to walk my dog or cook gourmet food.

TASK 3

Reading Part

University is cancelling poetry writing course

R1: class small, enrollment decline, so not worthwhile

R2: students can take similar classes in state university

Listening Part

Man：disagrees

R1: declining enrollment good for students, more individual attention from professor

R2: inconvenient, another university is 1 hour away, most students don’t have a car

Task4 : Biology

Reading Part

Releaser是指：

certain stimuli that can lead animals to do a corresponding behavior

Listening Part

E1:

Toad eats worm and anything looks like a worm

put a pencil around it, it attacks the pencil

pencil = worm

E2:

goose protect its eggs

something spherical approaches, it will use its beak to throw the thing onto its nest because it thinks it’s baby goose

round object = releaser

TASK 5：

Problem: 女生要参加客座教授的经济课，但是还有四门必修课，所以论文很多，她担心不能完成

Solution 1:

去audit（旁听）客座教授经济课，这样就不用写论文

Solution 2:

之后再选经济课

个人建议：

如果选S1去旁听，可以说：

第一，可以一举两得(double benefits)。她必须认真应付必修课，否则会影响毕业就得不偿失，四篇论文已经会占用很多时间了。旁听既能学到东西又不用担心论文写不好。

第二，客座教授也许下一学期就不上课了，而客座教授往往会为学校带来一些新的研究方向，如果错过了这一次，她会失去一次很好的学习交流的机会。

TASK 6： 心理学

两种majority influences

1. informational influences 一般是在为了获取正确信息的时候发生，比如你开车带一群人去town，你自己感觉应该左拐，但是其他人都说要go straight，一般情况下，自己也就会听其他人的看法，go straight了。

2， normative influence 一般是为了gain accepted，比如你和一堆你想和他们become friends人一起看电影，他们都说电影很great，虽然你觉得是awful的，但是你不会那么说，因为一旦你那样说，就会觉得自己不是one part of the  group了。

3．    备考策略：

TASK 1，2：可以在新东方老师的帮助下，科学规划和学习机经，有条件的同学最好选择一对一课程，让老师根据学生能力帮着修改机经答案，这样比死记硬背sample answer效率高。

TASK 3，5：容易失分的第五题一定要认真练，注意时间把控和观点的创新。

TASK 4，6：这次考了同学比较容易失分的“不熟悉话题”以及“生物类”“心里类”话题，所以复习的时候一定要注意机经的复习以及TPO限时训练。另外很多同学觉得讲座很难，是因为单词基础太薄弱，所以建议大家平时多看看科普类纪录片，熟悉里面的专业术语。
