2017年01月07日 托福口语考题回忆 Task 1
The university wants to provide student more entertainments and three choices provided below, which do you prefer and why.
l A theater performance by the student actors l A concert provided by professional musician l A lecture from a professor Sample Answer:
Well, as a student, I will choose a theater performance by the student actors. For one thing, this kind of activity will improve their cooperation skills. To be more specific, a theater performance includes the whole process of organizing, participating, and
promoting an event. Whether the student director or the actor take the responsibility to achieve his/her duty, so this is a great opportunity for them to learn how to deal with other people. Moreover, a performance could greatly inspire them to be more creative. I mean, in order to make a good show, students may have lots of difficulties to cope with, so they have to be flexible to face any emergency. As a result, they may come up with lots of new ideas to make it. Because of these two reasons, I believe this is the best choice. (140 words) Task 2
Friends may disagree with each other, and still maintain friendship. Do you agree with or disagree with this idea, why? Sample Answer:
Of course I agree with this idea. Firstly people are bound to be different. We have
various family background as well as education background even though we are friends. So it is quite naturally that there come up different ideas toward one problem. For
example I like watching movie in the movie theatre while my best friend Amy hate sitting in the dark place. But I never require her to go with me; we are still very close friends. Also, the friend who holds a different attitude with me sometimes could inspire me to think from another way. Maybe a very sharp discussion can lead me to an inspiring idea. After all, the experiences and knowledge of one person is limited. For me, I like the friend who are differ from me. (132 words) Task 3 阅读

magazine, especially those good quality ones. This will be a great encouragement for the students.

Life Stage of Animal Migration means in different life stages, some animal need to migrate to various places to live because of the diet and safety. When they are young, they may safe and have enough food in the original place while they may migrate to other places when their lives are threatened by their predators. The professor takes
anglerfish as an example. The anglerfish lay eggs in deep sea. Then the eggs will float to the surface of the sea where the younger anglerfish can enjoy enough food and sunlight. But when they grow older, their predator will be a great threat to them, which means the original place which means that the food may be insufficient for them to live on. As a result, they will migrate to the deep sea to survive. (135 words) Task 5
问题：The girl moved to a new apartment, and the window glass was broken when her friend help her hanging a picture to the wall. They need to replace the glass, but it is expensive.
解决方案1：Her friend and she share the cost of window glass. 优点1：it is not much money if they share the cost. Only 50 dollar each.
缺点1：Her friend came to help her and does not break it purposely. She feels it’s unfair for her friend.
解决方案2：She will cover the whole cost.
优点2：it will be fair for her friend and she will feel better. 缺点2：100 dollar is expensive for her. Sample Answer:
The woman’s problem is that she just moved to a new apartment, but the window glass was broken when her friend help her hanging a picture on the wall. They need to replace the glass, but it is quite expensive. There are two solutions, the first is that she and her friend could split the cost of window glass which is only 50 dollar for each person but she feels it’s unfair for her friend. The other solution is that she will cover the whole cost but 100 dollar is expensive to her. I prefer she take the second solution for sure. For one thing, her friend didn’t break the window purposely and it was a great favor that the friend helped her. Moreover, money is not a big problem comparing with her friend’s kindness and maybe she could do some part-time job to make the money back which is not that difficult. (153 words) Task 6
话题：Business Networks
要点1：We are in a business network. Different people engage in various occupations. They have different knowledge and skills.
例子1：A woman running a restaurant may have friends or customers engaged in
various occupations. When she needs an accountant, she will find one from her business network. She will trust more on the accountant whom she knew than those she does not know.

例子2： The women will introduce one of her friends to another, who may need the professional help but does not know a person in his/her own network. Sample Answer:
In the lecture, the professor mainly talks about two aspects of business networks. The first point is people may have different knowledge and skills from business networks
because they engage in various occupations. For example, a woman running a restaurant
may have friends or customers engaged in various occupations. When she needs an accountant, she will find one from her business network. She will trust more on the
accountant whom she knew than those she does not know. The second point is that in a business network, we not only trust the people from our own networks, we also trust the persons who are recommended by the people we knew. Also take the woman as an
example, she will introduce one of her friends to another, who may need the professional help but does not know a person in his/her own network. (142 words) 2017年01月14日 托福口语考题回忆 Task 1
You will need to accomplish an assignment to do a presentation. Which will you choose? 1. Act out a scene from a play(with a partner)
2. Explain your review of a novel you recently you read 3. Read a selection of poem Sample Answer:
Among the three presentation choices, I would choose to act out a play with my partner. As a literature major, I have been deeply entranced by dramas, accordingly, I'd rather consider acting as a form of amusement than regarding it as a job. To illustrate, I remember the first year in college, I made a rather unusual decision to deliver a performance on Shakespeare's Drama-Hamlet at New Year’s party instead of
participating in student’s choir in singing. As a result, the decision paid off since I was granted an acting position at city's drama club, as a reward for my authentic and
impressive performance. Ever since then, acting has become part of my daily ritual for my passion and adoration for it never dies out. (125 words) Task 2
Someone choose to work in a small company or organization with a few workers. Others prefer to work in a large company or organization with thousands of employees. Which do you think is better? Sample Answer:
I am in favor of working in a large corporation rather than a small firm because large corporations often are ruled and governed by stable regulations whereas small firm often undergoes management transformations in which causing employees time to adjust and adapt to the new leaderships. Take my brother Jim as an illustration, he used to work as a high-tech personal in a petite firm which was specializing in virtual reality technology. Initially he was so passionate about the job that he barely took any weekends off for his own pleasure, he was so determined that he'd be promoted with such exceptional skills and professionalism. But he was wrong, after a few years, he was spiritually and psychically worn out because the management seats were constantly going through changes and his promotions were never brought up on the agenda because the new supervisors always bring their own personals to take charge in company affairs.
Consequently, Jim had no choice but to quit the old firm and join an elite corporation that has business dealings nationwide, his excellent work has soon to be spotted by the management and he was granted promotion in a short term. Therefore, I'm inclined to listen to my brother Jim and work in a large company with stable leadership. (213 words) Task 3

标题：Weekend Art Workshop
原因1：This will provide students whose majors are not art a relaxed environment to learn art without concerning about grade.
原因2：This will give art-majored students more opportunities to practice. 听力 态度：不同意
原因一：学习目前已经有艺术类选修课程，是不评分的。所以感兴趣的学生可以去选择，不用担心学不好会影响分数，也可以达到这个目的。
原因二：这对于艺术专业的学生并不会有好处，Weekend Art Workshop在周末会占用教室，会cut the time available on weekends。 比如女生要做一个雕塑，需要花很长时间，她不可能周末搬回宿舍去做。 Sample Answer:
School has implemented a new policy to carry out a weekend art workshop for students as it is believed that the program will provide non-art major students a relaxing environment to learn art without concerning about the grade. In addition, the new
program will give art-majored students more opportunities to practice. The woman in the dialogue holds a negative opinion on this matter, she points out that there already have established optional art course for students, and it is not going to be scored in chart, students who are intrigued in art could choose this course without having to worry about the grade, it serves similar purpose as the art workshop. In addition, the new program will not benefit art major students whatsoever as the art workshop will be carried out on weekends, so it will occupy classrooms that were initially available for art students who wish to complete assignments on weekend. For example, the woman needs to finish a sculpture in the classroom, it is not possible that she carries the sculpture back in the dorm to complete on weekends. Therefore, the woman believes the proposal to be voided. (190 words) Task 4 阅读

定义：When human control the number of predators, the population of preys will increase. This will lead to some consequences. 听力
例子：Sea urchins feed on coral reefs. Triggerfish feed on sea urchins. But recently, tourists came fishing, causing the decline of triggerfish. As a result, sea urchins grow to larger size, destroying coral reefs, which are habitats for many ocean animals. Sample Answer:
Predator Release refers to a term that when human control the number of predators, the population of preys will increase. This will lead to some consequences.
In the lecture, professor further illustrated the term by using an example. Sea urchins feed on coral reefs and Triggerfish feed on sea urchins as a purpose to keep the food-chain system balanced. But recently, tourists came fishing in the area, causing the decline of triggerfish. As a result, sea urchins grow to larger size, destroy coral reefs, which are habitats for many ocean animals. As such, many other animals may also find themselves in grave danger. (103 words) Task 5

解决方案2：She can find a new and bigger apartment herself. 优点2：They will have bigger rooms separately
缺点2：她最近工作和学习很忙，她妹妹又很着急搬过来。而是搬家也很麻烦。 Sample Answer:
The woman is concerned about her living situation because her sister will come to live with her, but her apartment is too small for two people. She can either put a bed in the living room or live with her sister in the old small apartment or to find a bigger
apartment herself. I am in favor of the second solution as privacy is of essence for an adult, without such, they may find themselves constantly disturbing and offending each other, eventually lead to a relationship breakdown. In addition, if she is so worried about not having sufficient time for searching for an apartment, why not call an agency to deal with the issue? In this way, she could not only have all the time by herself to fulfill her studies also to have a brand new apartment for the two of them. (143 words) Task 6

Take an example of a soft drink company which was beaten up in the market shares for its existence do not stimulate customer`s interests anymore, they`ve decided to have the drink

Your friend will move to a school and worried about making new friends there. What kind of
advice will you give him to help him make new friend in the new school? Why? Sample Answer:
Suppose my friend Philip will move to a school and is worried about making new friends there, I
would recommend that he should join a book club since he loves reading novels all the time. It
will be quite easy to break the ice if Philip and members of the club share some interest in,
say, the new Harry Potter book. They can have discussions over a cup of coffee about the
highlights in the book and its relevance to the first seven novels. While Philip expresses how
thrilled he is when he reads the book, other members of the club can relate to the situation.
Naturally, Philip can make some new friends at the new school. (117 words) Task 2
Many people prefer to read books in electronic format on a computer screen or other devices.
Some other people prefer to read books on paper printed copies. Which way do you prefer? Why? Sample Answer:
Many people prefer to read books in electronic books on their laptops, tablets or cellphones.
However, I prefer to read paper printed copies when it comes to best-selling novels. You can
call me a nerd, but when the new Harry Potter book came out, I was really thrilled to have one
more chance to enjoy the adventures in the world of magic. When the first seven books were
introduced in my country, paper printed copies were what I saw. It would feel so wrong if I
read the eighth book on my tablet or other electronic devices. I just love the feeling of
turning the pages with my fingers and the new book is such a page-turner. (117 words) Task 3 阅读
标题：Research Thesis Presentation
原因1： 学生可以gather wider range of topics and ideas by reading others' thesis
原因2： 虽然论文通常很长很复杂，但是他们可以给别人看提纲和重 点节选。 听力 态度：反对
原因1：学校的websites有更多的信息可以去获得，帮助学生扩大
知识面。
原因2：论文通常很复杂很长，节选或提纲只能让别人有一个片面的认识，不能看到the whole picture. Sample Answer:
Students are supposed to make a presentation on their research theses to gather a wider range
of topics and ideas by reading others ‘theses. Although their theses are often long and
complicated, students can give outlines and highlights of their theses. The woman/man finds the
plan unconvincing. Firstly, the students in this university can have other ways to get
information for their theses. They can get more information on the website of the university so
that they can know a wider range of topics for academic development. Secondly, the theses are
too long and too complicated for students to handle. Outlines and highlights can only give
students a partial picture rather than a whole picture of the arguments in the theses. (121 words) Task 4 阅读
标题：Peak-End Rules
定义：与传统的将广告放到电视、报考、杂志上不同，ambient 人们在回忆过去的经历时通常只会回忆起记
忆最深刻和发生在最后的事情。 听力
例子： 教授去旅游前几天天气很不好，只能在室内读书，看电视。 后来天气变好了，他们出海去航行，看到很美妙的风景，看 到成群的鲨鱼，特别棒的体验。后来几天就很普通，在沙滩 上看书和放松。旅行结束时参加了一个party，认识了一个来 自同一个地方的人。当他的同事问他这次旅行，他只提到第二 段出海和最后party认识一个新朋友的。而没有提到别的。 Sample Answer:
The professor uses his personal experience to illustrate the concept of peak-end rules which
means that people only remember the most intense part and the ending segment of any event. At
the beginning of the vacation the weather was a bit nasty and the professor had to stay in his
hotel room, reading books and watching TV. When the weather cleared up, the professor and
others sailed on the sea. The scenery was breath-taking and the sharks swam in groups, which
gave the professor great experience. In the following days, nothing extraordinary happened. The
professor just read books and chilled on the beach. At the end of the vacation, the professor
went to a party at which he met a person who came from his hometown. When his coworkers asked
him about the vacation, the professor only remembered the sailing trip and the party, the most
intense and the ending segment of the experience.(154 words) Task 5
问题：作为head-editors，男生遇到的问题是有一个news reporter always
makes mistakes about the facts。有一次搞错一个教授的教龄和背景，之后还继续犯错。
方法1：give him other assignments, such as comment on movies and campus issues. 缺点: 这个reporter喜欢news reports
方法2: 他自己花额外时间多检查几遍他的文章，保证正确。 缺点: 对于他来说工作量很大，而且不知道值不值得这么做。 Sample Answer:
The male student is a head editor and one of his news reporters always makes mistakes about the
facts, such as the working experience and educational background of a professor. I recommend
that the student should give the reporter other assignments rather than check his articles for
the reporter. The reporter may show great enthusiasm in news reports; however, he will work
even harder if the head editor assigns other tasks to him. It is possible that the reporter can
learn to be detail-oriented when he finds that basic facts in movies and campus issues are
important. Besides, the editor already has a lot on his plate and does not have time to check
the possible errors for the reporter. Even if he finds time to do this, the reporter will not
have the opportunity to grow as a qualified news reporter. (142 words) Task 6
一些在树上生活的灵长类避免从树上掉落的两个adaptations 1. Grasp and hold to the branches 用尾巴缠住树枝，避免掉落。 2. 准确测量树枝与树枝的距离
有时候从一个树枝到另一个树枝比较远，需要swing to other branches 而不 能run，所以需要准确测量距离，以便能够跳跃过去。 Sample Answer:
Some primates living on trees have two adaptations to avoid falling from the trees. The first
adaptation is to grasp and hold onto the branches of the trees on which they live. Some
primates use their tails to wrap around the branches so tightly that it is almost impossible
for them to fall from the tree if they are careful with their movements on the tree. Another
adaptation is to measure in accuracy the distance between branches. When there is a wider
distance between the branch the primates are standing and the other branch, it makes more sense
if the primates swing rather than run to their destination. Under this circumstance, the
primates measure the distance accurately in order to swing to the other branch. These are the
adaptations some primates make to avoid falling from trees. (137 words) 2017年02月26日 托福口语考题回忆 Task 1
The student is asked to write final project about the famous Historical city Which you're located in. Which we do you choose?
1 video the famous building 2 visit the old people 3 Research and write paper Sample Answer:
To know the famous historical city which I am located in, I prefer the second way, that is, to visit the old people in the city. For example, there is a cleaner who pushes a garbage truck, walking in the streets of the city every day. When I am free, I hear and chat with the old man, surely I feel the strong academic atmosphere of the city and learn about the story of many celebrities. Once a few tourists asked for the way, he not only showed them the way, also told them the origin and history of the road, to his surprise, the tourists were captivated by him. Later, many of the tourists name him as a tour guide, and he always makes them satisfied. So I believe the second way is very helpful. (136 words) Task 2
Some students think that they are graded by participating in the discussion class, while others think that they are graded only by written work, such as paper. Which opinion would you prefer and give your reasons. Sample Answer:
I agree with the idea that students are graded only by written work, such as research paper, etc. Writing needs thinking. It's a way to cultivate students' thinking ability. Also it benefits students' ability of reading, analyzing and organizing. With the topic, they must collect related materials and do some research, such as questionnaire, field study, case study, etc, which are beneficial to them. Furthermore, an excellent paper can get recognition from others. This may greatly encourage students and boost their self-confidence, in turn, students can create more valuable written work.

标题:Fund academic conferences for students 原因1：Opportunity
原因2：Expensive and some students cannot afford 听力 态度：同意
原因1：为学生的创造扩充知识的机会
原因2：一些学术会议费用昂贵，有些学生负担不起 Sample Answer:
In the reading part, the school decides to fund academic conferences for students. There are two reasons, one is to have more opportunities for some students to attend
academic conferences, the other one is that the fee for academic conferences is always so expensive that some students cannot afford it. The man in the listening part thinks it is a great idea. The budget can create more opportunities for some students to expand knowledge for their major. Also, the school can advertise more to let more students afford it, as do it in English department and physical department. (98 words) Task 4 阅读

问题：学生有paper要交，但是还要参加一个会议 解决方案1：先写论文 优点1：能在截止日期前写完 缺点1：会议参加不成了 解决方案2：参加会议
优点2：会议对他很重要 缺点2：论文的事情要email教授 Sample Answer:
The man’s problem is that he has a paper to meet a deadline at the same time he has a meeting to attend. One solution is that he writes a paper and does not attend a meeting, but he thinks the meeting is important for him. The other solution is that he attends the meeting but does not finish the paper in time, so he should e-mail to the professor. I think he should choose the first one. After all, as a student, schoolwork is also very
important for him. If he does not finish the paper in time, this may influence professor’s evaluation on him. In the long run, it may do harm to him. (116 words) Task 6

Things always change in an unexpected way. Please describe a thing you have recently done that, ten years ago, you never imagined you would do. Sample Answer:
Working as a Simultaneous interpreter is a remarkable and unexpected thing for me in the past. It’s extremely difficult to achieve since I did not show any talent in language learning. In fact, as an interpreter, it requires us to master good language skills. Like be capable to switch seamlessly between two languages, like my ability expressing thoughts clearly and concisely in both languages, and more intimate familiarity with both cultures. That’s pretty cool, but clearly I can’t. Because of the shyness and weak grammar even awkward phrasing, any of them could be a huge obstacle in my way of language learning. Until one day, I receive the contempt from peers in the class, at that moment, I was
shocked to realize that it’s time to change the current situation. Why not try to enjoy and appreciate the subject and combine it in our daily life. That’s when surprise starts, exactly from the conscious awareness. (155 words) Task 2
You live in a crowded city with only one green space-the city park. The government
recently proposes to build a housing complex on this only green space. Do you think this is a good idea? Sample Answer:
My firm position is that the government should not do this. Since it’s the only green space-the city park which will help to encourage citizens to lead healthier lifestyles, because it can reduce money spent on insurance and medical care. People who live in the narrow apartment are under great pressures, so it’s more likely for them to become depressed .if you can easily find a space to build your body or walk in a park with your friends or family members, it would be a great relief .If more individuals have an
incentive to do preventive health care, they would enjoy their longevity, and at the same
time provide more labor force and fortune to the society Also, It is of more benefits for the government, people’s being healthy is good for our economic growth and the social harmony. If the government adjusted to build more housing complex, it would bring us lower life quality and chaotic situations. Consequently, clearing a space for citizen is worthwhile. (167 words) Task 3 阅读
标题：Professor should grade all students’ assignment 好处：
原因1：Professor can give more detailed and useful feedback compared with those graduate students, who might be learning themselves.
原因2：Professor can have a better understanding of students’ progress and adapt the class to students’ need. 听力 态度：不同意
原因一： graduate students批改作业分散任务，不累。通常一个班级100多人，如果教授一个人要批改所有作业，教授会很辛苦，并且没有那么多时间。
原因二：目前教授也能很好地了解学生的学习进度，因为教授每个星期都要和graduate students讨论学生的作业情况。教授会花时间讲解学生作业中出现的问题。 Sample Answer:
A student proposes that professor should grade all the assignments because it can make sure that students will get more detailed response and make more progress easily. The man in the conversation doesn't think it’s a great idea. Firstly, he says it’s easy for graduates do that since the tasks would be dispersed. While is different for professor, they will feel tired and in fact they are always not available, Secondly, he mentions professors are also keeping close eye on every student based on the discussion with
graduates about the course work. Besides, the problems which arises in the paper would be emphasized during the class. Therefore, because of these two reasons, the man agrees with the proposal. (118 words) Task 4 阅读

缺点2：Her parents just paid textbooks for her recently. She doesn’t want to ask too much from parents. Sample Answer:
The woman’s got a financial problem. She cannot pay her bill just because she used air-conditioner in the summer too much. There are two possible solutions. The first one is to work more hours during her part-time job at the cafe. But this will leave her friends
alone. Another solution is to ask their parents for help. But it will make parents think she just asks too much from them. As for me, I prefer to choose the first one, since she

The university currently requires all the students to take the physical education course to get graduate. Which of the following choice will you choose? A, soccer B, dancing Sample Answer:
As for me, I will choose cycling. On one hand, cycling doesn’t involve any difficult skill and I’ve started the sport item since my childhood, which will guarantee me a good score in the PE exam. What’s more, it must be exciting to take such PE classes, cuz it’s likely that we have to tour off campus by bike in order to practice. How fascinating it is! Actually, cycling is more of a recreational activity than a course.
On the other hand, I’m not cut out for soccer and dance. The former is too intense for me since it involves much running and kicking while the latter calls for great flexibility and balance ability which I’ m not endowed with.
Therefore, cycling is really a safe choice as well as an interesting one. （133 words） Task 2

I will choose the expensive one well-known for its excellent academic program because it’s beneficial for my long-term development. I spare no effort to get in a university for the academic knowledge and elites in my major. Undoubtedly, in the university famous

opportunity to pitch in on some advanced academic studies so as to get informed with the most up-to-date information in the field. Therefore, considering my purpose for attending a university, I believe it is a better choice. All of those aforementioned meet my demand closely. (113 words) Task 3 阅读

In the reading, a student proposes that professors should give out handouts containing lecture notes at the beginning of a class to help students concentrate better on the class and make preparations for exams.
In the listening, the woman disagrees with the proposal because of two reasons. First, the woman says that she will have difficulty in focusing on classes without taking notes. Second, if handouts are provided, students will rely on them and thus skip classes. They might miss the improvised contents because classes are not always going on according to the planned handouts, which is not good for their study.
Therefore, based on these two reasons, the woman disagrees with the proposal. (114 words) Task 4 阅读

优点2：karen可以挪用自己存下来和朋友去墨西哥游玩的钱 缺点2：不想错过这次旅行 Sample Answer:
In the conversation, Karen’s moved to a new apartment, but it is so expensive that she can’t afford the school’s meal plan.
There are mainly two solutions. The first is to cook at home and take the meal to her school; the second is to draw on the money she’s saved for the trip to Mexico. As for me, I prefer the latter one because of two reasons.
First, although she enjoys cooking at home and it’s also a good way to save money, she has no time to manage it. Note that she is short of both money and time. Well, cooking is always time-consuming and exhausting, which will take a heavy toll on her study sooner or later.
Second, travelling is secondary to meal when her budget is tight. For all her
unwillingness, she has to cancel the trip to Mexico cuz no one can sell the cow and drink the milk. (154 words) Task 6 听力

例子2：幼鸟虽然不会飞行，但是可以靠爬树枝来躲避捕食者。 Sample Answer:
In the lecture, the professor talks about two features that help young animals to survive in the wild.
There are two key points. The first is camouflage. For example, young lions that are below 3 months old would have furs with spots and thus they can blend in the
circumstances. In this way, it’s hard for predators to spot them. When they get older and obtain other skills to protect themselves, the spots will disappear. The second is features that help them to move fast. For example, a type of under-water birds has fingers under their wings when they are too young to fly and they can climb trees fast to escape. The fingers will disappear when they get older. (120 words)

Task 1 The university decides to remodel the dormitory and add a new space to it. Which space do you recommend to add in your dormitory? 1. Cafe 2. Study room 3. Game room Sample Answer:
I suppose most of us would like to have a new study room. There are two reasons. 直接明确，表明我支持哪一个观点，有两个支持论点。
The first reason is it can help us study. Nowadays, GPA becomes more and more important for college students. Good grades can help us in getting an ideal job after graduation.
First 是逻辑词，让论述结构清晰，简介明了地引出第一个原因，举一个细节例子——学习好了有利于找工作。
The second reason is during the final exams, an additional study place will be necessary for us. At that time there will be crowds of people getting up early to study in our library. It will be difficult to have a seat in there. So if we can have an additional study room in our dormitory, it will be much more convenience when our library is full of people. Second 和First一样，作为逻辑词使论述层次更清晰。接着简洁明了概述第二个原因，举第二个例子——期末图书馆占不到座位，最好是有个多的学习室。
Task 2 All people should be required to stop working and retire by age 65. Do you agree or disagree? Sample Answer:
Personally, I agree with this proposal. There are two reasons.
直接明确地表明支持还是不支持这个观点，然后用平行结构列举两个论点。
On the one hand, requiring people to retired at 65 can leave more opportunity to young people. So it will be easier for the young to find a position.
On the one hand，注意逻辑结构，引出第一个原因。用一个例子支持该论点——老人强制退休，给年轻人让出更多的工作岗位。
On the other hand, being forced to retire at 65 doesn‘t mean retired people will do
nothing and just stay at home. One can develop a new hobby different from his original job. For example, a math professor may get interested in history after he regains enough
time in retirement. Thus may save people from life-long repetitive work and lead them into a brand new world.
On the other hand，与on the one hand配套使用，适用于说明两个原因。阐述第二个原因：老人退休以后可以拥有工作之外的爱好，丰富生活。最后举一个例子——数学教授退休之后可能会对历史产生兴趣。 Task 3 阅读

原因2：Greenwood 要绕过校园。花费的时间很长，尤其是衣服多的，可能需要走好几次，花的时间更长 Sample Answer:
In the passage, the university is going to have the laundry room renovated to add more laundry machine and dryers because students always complain about long waiting time when using the laundry room. However, the man thinks it is unnecessary. His first reason is that students pour into the laundry room only at weekends. If they come during the weekdays, they don’t need to wait for so long. The second reason is the laundry room will shut up if it begins to be renovated. And students will have to take their laundries far away outside school to get them washed.

This passage introduces a concept called permeable group. This notion means there are certain groups which are welcome to new comers. And thus will lead to the spread of some useful behavior. In the lecture, the professor takes chimpanzee as an example. A female chimpanzee can move from one group to another.

characteristic is feedback must be properly timed. For example, in a painting class, teacher should give students feedback before the class is over. So the students can try recommended techniques in teacher’s feedback in their painting. The second
characteristic is feedback should focus on students’ work, not on students themselves. For example, if a student use wrong color in his painting, the teacher should tell him to change another color in his future painting rather than just tell him he is a bad painter. (95 words)
