#托福#Hello大家好,一月一期的托福考情回顾又来了。5月份的托福考试依旧是旧题频出--本来ETS出题就慢,加之独立写作都要被淘汰了,相信接下来的两个月不会有什么新的题目出现了。所以只要大家准备足够充分,遇到原题的概率还是非常可观的。我们来看看上一个月都重复了哪些旧题吧。
独立写作
5.6
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Twenty years from now, people will have more leisure time (free time) than they do today.
点评:
严格来讲,这是一道新题。不过它的内核是我们熟悉,套路非常明显的,的今昔对比。所以难度很一般。并且,在之前的今昔对比题目当中出现过与本题非常相似的:现在和过去什么时候happier,什么时候更忙。
解析:
同意--因为科技产品(technological products)替代人们完成很多家务(household chores);科技提高了人们的工作效率(work efficiency)。
5.10
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Governments should make it possible for all children to attend preschool (early childhood education programs, for example for three-year-old children) at no cost to the children's families.
重复20220709的题目
点评:
政府类话题--这类型题目今年的出题频率不低,三四月份都出现过,难度中等。如果有相关经验--比如自己有小孩--那会比较容易想到。对于还在上学的同学们来说,破题可能会有些困难。不过整体思路还是从国家整体和个人两个角度出发。
解析:
应该提供free pre-school education--减轻家庭财政负担(alleviate financial burden),提高生活质量(life quality);鼓励生育(encourage births),增加人口活力(dynamic)
5.13
Which ONE of the following abilities do you think is the most important for a teacher of high school students (aged 15-18) to have?
-The ability to give good advice to students about planning for their future.
-The ability to recognize which students in a class need the most help and to provide that help.
-The ability to encourage students to learn on their own outside of the classroom.

点评:
虽然话题是教育,但是这道题目并不简单,因为题目的选项非常具体,留给大家发挥的空间不大。并且选项一和选项三都有点抽象--提醒我们可以进行拆分破题。
解析:
选择encourage students to learn on their own outside of the classroom--发现自己的兴趣(discover interests);为大学更难的课程做准备(prepare for college study)
5.20
Some people believe that the government should encourage people to drive by making sure that every person has a car, lowering the price of gasoline, and building more roads and highways, while others feel that the government should encourage people to take public transportation by building more bus or subway stations and increasing the number of routes. Which view do you agree with and why?
重复20220302
点评:
虽然是政府类话题,但是难度并不高。题目没有限制,仅仅要求考生比较两个选项的利弊。而且交通属于非常大众的话题--地球人都知道那种。
解析:
应该鼓励乘坐公共交通--环保(environmentally friendly);都开私家车会导致交通拥堵(traffic congestion)。
5.23
大学生有没有必要被要求至少学一门有关国外文化的课程
重复20220406
点评:
又来要求大学生了。大学生不是要学习写作课,就是公众演讲,还有数学和外语。大学生好难,但是这个题目难度一般。3月份问过大学生应不应该上public speaking course。题目考查的核心概念是“学生是否应该上xxx必修课”。如果认为应该,那就结合这个课程的特征给出理由/好处,如果不应该,就从课程不实用或者学生忙的角度出发。
解析:
应该上--培养批判性思维(critical thinking)更加了解本国文化;提高接受新事物的能力(open-mindedness)
5.31
同不同意:现在年轻人的rude behaviors比50年前的同龄人更多。
点评:
本月的第二道今昔对比类话题,换汤不换药。依旧是常见的今昔变化作为理由。
解析:
同意--年轻人生活压力大,脾气暴躁(ill-tempered);年轻人习惯网上沟通,现实生活中没有界限感(no boundary)
独立口语
5.6
Your university is planning to invite some guest speakers to give lectures to students. Some students think that the university should not invite guest speakers with controversial opinions. Other students think that the university should invite variety of guests speakers, regardless of their opinions. Which point of view do you support? Explain why.
重复20221207
点评:
有点难度。因为大家一下子想不到controversial topics指代哪些话题。关于政治,文化,社会问题的都可以。再具体一点,abortion,use of technology, Chat GPT,environmental protection都可以处理成争议话题。
解析:
应该邀请a variety of guest speakers--能够让大学生们培养critical thinking;让他们为将来的真实世界the real world做好准备。
5.10
Some professors allow students who have not done well on graded assignments during a course to do additional assignments in order to improve their overall course grade. Do you think this is a good idea?
重复20210829
点评:
教育类的常规话题,难度一般。
解析:
不同意--养成坏习惯;对其他同学不公平。
5.13
Some people think that schools should assign projects and other work for students to complete over vacation before the beginning of the school year. Others think that schoolwork should only be assigned during the actual academic year. Which opinion do you agree with?
重复20220305
点评:
探讨该不该留假期作业,难度一般。可以从对于对于学生的各个方面的发展的影响来展开。
解析:
假期不留作业--学生可以discover their interests;不会让学生厌学hate school
5.20
是加入study group with students who have the same difficulty一起学习,还是找tutor specialize in that area?
点评:
这个题目是新题,但是不难。学习不好是要报一对一辅导呢还是和同样有问题的同学一起学习。找tutor的理由更简单。
解析:
找tutor--tutor能够发现我们的问题(discover our problems);和peers在一起会有distraction
5.23
有一门历史课,你是喜欢可以交流然后给出feedback其它人评判你的paper的课还是由教授来评?
点评:
和5.20的题目很像。理由都可以共用。
解析:
由professor来评-能够更加精准地指出(pinpoint)我们的问题;能够给一些拓展建议(suggestions for further development)
5.31
在选择一份工作的时候,有人认为工资多少是最重要的,有些人认为他对于工作的满意度更重要,你同意哪一个观点?
重复20220409
点评:
难度适中的工作类话题。这类型话题经常考到work-life balance。
解析:
工作满意度更重要--higher efficiency; better health.
整体上,5月份的独立口语和写作很友好。没有特别难的题目,新题也很少。仅有的两道新题,也是从旧题基础上发展而来--再一次凸显出备考的作用。
