9月14日的托福口语PART2预测，环球北美考试院的老师给托儿们提供了话题模板做参考哦！

1. Do you prefer to watch movies in the cinema or at home, why?
  I would like to watch movies in the cinema; we can see films in the cinema not only owing to the tide, but also due to the fact that they can put themselves into the story whole heartedly. This is what people will miss if they prefer to watch a movie at home. And there is no better way to experience the characters' mentality than to see movies in the cinema.
On account of relatively silent and dark surroundings, we can blend into the film's situation indeed. Along with the filmic technology progress, nowadays we have already seen 3D-IMAX films conveniently. Everything on the large screen is three-dimensional, stereo acoustics encircle you; outstanding effect will give you tremendous visual and auditory impact. Can you realize such stirring feeling when you see a movie at home? What’s more, watching movies in a theater has more advantages. We have right to enjoy the pleasure and convenient that comes from media.

2. In journey, some people prefer to reach to the destination directly rather than to enjoy the scenery along the way. Which one do you prefer?
  Well I prefer to enjoy the scenery along the way. Firstly I’d like to communicate with other tourists about their countries, cultures or hobbies. We can exchange our opinion about different topics, and talk about the newspapers over the world.
Secondly, we can make lots of friends during the journey, regardless of ages, identities and background, we can have further contact when the travel ended, maybe there will some romantic meeting, and there are so many unexpected, interesting stories.
Thirdly, there can be some surprisingly beautiful sights on the way, and I don’t want to miss it. It can be even better than my destination. In addition, trip is a way of relaxation instead of a job. So we don’t need to rush yourself, otherwise I may already feel tired when I get to my destination. I’d like to relax from the moment I set out. So, that’s my reason for sight-seeing along the way.  

3. Do you prefer to buy prepared food or buy fresh food and prepare by yourself?
  To be honest, I will choose to buy prepared food. Frankly speaking I consider prepared food is better. It’s quite convenient. I just need to go shopping once a week and get what I need from the supermarket. For instance, I can buy frozen foods in a supermarket and just prepare it in a couple of minutes, whereas before it could have taken me maybe hours to prepare this kind of meal. Also, it can save me lots of time. I can just put the frozen food I got from the supermarket into the oven and wait for several minutes, and then it’s done. As a result, I could save plenty of time to do more studying and search. What’s more, there are different tastes of prepared food in the markets that we can choose from. We are not able to prepare some dishes because there are so many complicated materials in the cuisine. Furthermore, there must be lots of irritating washing after all those cooking which seems to be an endless job at all. That’s another reason I would choose the prepared food.

4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do so. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
    In my opinion, it’s necessary for children to help with some housework when they are old enough. Children need to get enough knowledge about shopping, especially about the common prices of different food, clothes and other daily ingredients, the methods of cooking different dishes, do some washing and repairing some domestic appliance, clearing up bedroom and so on. Doing these can’t only ease mothers’ household burden but also make a preparation for their independent years latter in the future.
Furthermore, when they assist in doing housework, they can have more time to communicate with family members rather than absorb on chatting with friends online. During the communication, parents and children can get better understanding about each other such as their different opinions about some hot news, the past time of the grandparents and some memory of great grandparents, after that  they can have more interesting thing to enjoy themselves together. As far as I’m concerned, parents’ experience will have far influence on the children’s following days, even to their next generation.

5. Some people believe that class discussion should be part of the grade. Others believe that onlywritten assignments should be part of the grade. Which one do you agree and why?
In my point of view, class discussion is as equal important as written assignments. So the discussion should be part of the grade. As we all know, class discussion can prove more about students’ expression skills, knowledge, and intelligence along with critical minds.  Some of them will have strong leadership, while others can show excellent utterance in debating, and others may be good listeners and give useful suggestion. Different potentials could be showed up though the process. And the teacher can have more information about their students.
What’s more, class discussion can promote the connection among students. Maybe some of them can be quiet at most times, but through the discussion, with exchanging their ideas and thoughts, they will strengthen relationship gradually and get know better with each other which also have a great influence on their interpersonal development.  

6. Do you like to be taught by teachers with experience or new teachers?
Frankly speaking, I’d prefer to have new teachers to teach me. It goes without saying that experienced teachers can provide us with lots of knowledge, skills and techniques, but we can also gain all those information bias the network, the reference book, and I believe that new teachers must have worked on that useful information before they begin to teach their students.
And as far as I’m concerned, most of experienced teachers are nearly forty or fifty years old, who may be not interested in the cases that the students are talking about, meanwhile the new teachers can be more closer to students because they are normally 3-4 older than us, when we have a class discussion for example, it feels more like friends chat with more relaxation. The class will be more interesting not boring at all. Even after school, we can contact with each other by e-mail, QQ or facebook etc.
What’s more, new teachers can have more patience for their students. They can explain a question with different methods until you can understand them. While experienced teachers may just ask you to do more practices and find faults then correct them, review the process again and again until you find a best way to solve it which can be exhausted with low efficiency.  

7. Do you prefer reading or attending a lecture?
To be honest, I prefer reading rather than a lecture. Because when I read, I can be alone and enjoy the private time. I can do what I like for example to take a cup of tea and sit aside the open window, when I feel tired, I can have a glance of the scene outside. During that time I can keep myself into inner peace so that meditation might be achieved easier.
What’s more , I can take whole control of reading process whenever I want to pause for a rest and continue latter which can never have in a lecture in which all audience must absorbed into the lecturer and even a minute absence of mind, you will miss some important information.
The most fascinating thing is the feeling I get when I hold a book. The smooth touch of its pages, the delight flavor from the inks, the moving characters, and the potential emotion the author hided in his lines, all of which give me great enjoyment when I reading through the book. However, I would seldom feel the same when attending a lecture

8. Do you like to buy new books or used books?
I think both of them are useful for a learner or student. When the book is about skills or knowledge or just a reference book, I usually buy a used one because it is much cheaper. And used books are also good for they may have some notes taken by the previous user which can be useful to my study. But they will have a big disadvantage of being worn out. There might be some words or diagrams missing which can make a trouble in reading. Sometimes, this is acceptable. When the book is about literature or something worth a collection, I prefer a new one. New books are good in quality with better printing and package which offers a nice experience to read, and I will have more space to take my notes than the used book.

9. Should the students learning hand writing or justlearning typing directly?
As a student, I believe learning hand writing is crucial important. Hand writing is more like a kind of art than the typing because it is a behavior that combines the mind with whole body movements. It can help people get better understanding the words or letters by the images that they are formed just like drawings. In addition, hand writing helps us to develop character or personality of person. We always say that, a person with excellent hand writing can give others good impression just like an unforgettable label of a commodity. Your hand writing can work as your name card. People usually give more attention to those who have good hand writings. Whereas on other side, typing is just a skill the same meaning like you can swim or sing. After we learn hand writing well, we can master that skill more easily. Besides, you just need a pen and a piece of paper when you make hand writings while you can not type anything without a machine, which one can be controlled, more flexible?  

10.Should we wear formal clothes or casual clothes in the office? Use some details and reasons to support your opinion.
In my point of view, we ought to wear formal clothes in the office. Firstly, a person who wears formal clothes shows more respect to the others in the office. Wearing casual clothes may cause unnecessary misunderstandings for example some employees can’t distinguish clients from their colleagues in companies. Secondly, wearing formal clothes shows the attitude of a person while working in office which may also improve the efficiency of teamwork. It’s no doubt that uniform always brings more spiritual interaction among workers. What’s more, a more positive and exuberate working phenomenon can be created in this way when everyone wears formal clothes. The last but not least, wearing formal clothes can convince the visitors or clients that we employees are professional in our job. If a person wears casual clothes in a meeting，it seems like he is idle and not reliable. Imagine a guy, who wears slippers in the office, can you make a comfortable conversation with him while noticing his smelly feet?
