托福口语话题练习

The basic meaning of "pet" is an animal we keep for emotional rather than economic reasons. 【1】 A pet animal is kept as a companion, and we all need companions to keep us feeling happy. But pets offer us more than mere companionship; they invite us to love and be loved. Many owners feel their pets understand them, for animals are quick to sense anger and sorrow. Often a cat or dog can comfort us at times when human words don’t help 【2】. We feel loved, too, by the way pets depend on us for home, for food and drink. Dogs especially, look up to their owners, which makes them feel important and needed. 【3】

A pet can be something different to each member of the family, another baby to the mother, a sister or brother to an only child, a grandchild to the elderly, 【4】 but for all of us pets provide pleasure and companionship. It has even been suggested that tiny pets should be sent as companions to astronauts on space ships, to help reduce the stress and loneliness of space flights.

In this Plastic Age, 【5】 when most of us live in large cities, pets are particularly for children. A pet in the family keeps people in touch with the more natural, animal world. Seeing an animal give birth brings understanding of the naturalness of childbirth of the naturalness of childbirth, and seeing a pet helps a child to cope with sorrow. 【6】 Learning to care for a pet helps a child to grow up into a loving adult who feels responsible towards those dependent on him. Rightly we teach children to be good to their pets. They should learn, too, that pets are good for us human beings.

托福口语人物类话题

1.经典美国总统篇

托福口语考试在近1年的考试中逐渐加大了对人物类话题的侧重，在2014年当中占到了36%，这种趋势会一直持续到我们2015年考试中，那么既然人物类的话题可以说是这些年考试的重中之重，2014年又有近三分之一的独立口语话题涉及到人物类的话题，那么我们怎样才能回答出一个不一样的，属于自己的答题模板呢，同学请稍作等待，人物类话题的种子我们稍后放出，咱们先来看一道题：

Describe a person you admire

这道题相信咱们考托的学生非常熟悉吧，描述一个你赞美的人，但每当我听到这道题的答案时：爸爸，妈妈，叔叔，婶婶，奶奶，爷爷，内容呢?无非就是善良，耐心，warm-hearted， 甚至有学生我敬仰的原因是扶老太太过马路，好吧，说爸爸妈妈这样做倒也罢了，你竟然说佩服爷爷扶一个老奶奶过马路，估计爷爷光是想想就已经醉了

那么，言归正题，我们需要说一个不同于大众的答案，还是要有深度的答案，那该说谁呢?作为ETS的考试来说，当然，说一个全美国人都熟悉的人吧。----他就是美国总统 Coming—George Washington 乔治.华盛顿

1.来看看华盛顿先森都做过那些令人敬仰的事情吧，我们好从当中选择一个Reason， 作为我们的Reason1

1. 华盛顿是是美国的’国父’，且华盛顿是美国的首任总统

2. 1775-1783年美国独立战争’总司令’

3. 1776年主导发表’独立宣言’

再来选择发生在他身上的一个小事-樱桃树--Reason2

小时候的华盛顿得到一把斧头，华盛顿拿着这把斧头，看到了后院中的一颗樱桃树，就把树砍掉了，而这棵树是他爸爸最喜爱的东西，在询问华盛顿是否砍掉树之后，华盛顿勇敢的承认了，但是爸爸并没有责备他，而是表扬了小华盛顿的诚实。

2.总结华盛顿的特点

1. 诚实-樱桃树

The first reason that I admire GW is because of his honesty.

I learned a story about GW. he is a person who is not disposed to cheat, and he believes that the humans quality should deem truth as an essential value. Moreover, I also learned from him that admitting the mistake is not a bad thing, others will forgive you because of your honesty.

2. Not-Greedy

华盛顿是第一任美国总统，1789年就任，但他同时也是出自军队的总统，华盛顿从美国第一次独立战争以来，就强调自己的核心理念是民主，因此他对于自己的权力控制是有担心的，所以在美国的历史上，他开了一个非终身制总统的好头，也就是说，他始终认为，

1. 总统是由人民选出来的【军方出身不适合涉及政治】

2. 总统任期不超过两届，不然会对美国民主造成威胁【反例请参照我们的好盆友朝鲜民国-金氏家族思密达】。

总结来说，华盛顿的第二个优点就是—不贪

Second, GW told us that people should barely put ourselves and our needs on the forefront, when it comes to getting others needs met. He usually listen to the necessities of others. What is more, his life goal is not to get more and more of something he wants, but to focus on how to help others to get it.

好啦，我们到此为止，华盛顿的两个性格特点已经被我们描述完毕了，现在就来看看，诚实和不贪婪的性格特点能够使用在那些人物类的话题当中吧!

可套用题型

1. Describe a friend in your childhood.

2. Describe a family member.

3. Do you think teachers should make class fun?

4. Describe a person you admire
