新托福TPO口语参考答案TPO51.Talk about a place you enjoyed going or visiting when you were a child. Describe the place. Explain why you enjoyed it.When I was a child, I enjoyed going to an Internet Bar. It is still open now. Its only 5-minutes walk away from my home and sits beside the street. The internet bar is not very big. It only has two rooms and each is full of computers. In summer vacations, My friends and I usually went there early in the morning playing many computer games such as Age of Empire, Star War and Counter Strike. The owner of the bar is a very kind person. He opened the door very early in the morning just for us. My friends and I occupied a room, sit side by side and yelled to each other when we were playing games. It was a lot of fun.2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Why or why not? Use details and examples to explain your answer. It is more important to study math or science than it is to study art or literature.I strongly disagree with the statement that studying math or science is more important than studying art or literature. Of course, math and science are very important. But it is meaningless to say that they are more important than art or literature. We admire Newton for his scientific achievements such as Newtons first law. We equally admire Leonardo for his art accomplishments such as Mona Lisa. These two people are not comparable because they are in two different fields. So some people may like studying science. Some may like studying literature. They all make contributions to the human civilizations. So math or science and art or literature, they are equally important.3. The man expresses his opinion about the universitys plan. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The man thinks its a great idea to let the culinary students to cook meals in the Campus Dining Club. His first reason is that its good for students in the culinary program. His cousin is in the program and says preparing meals for a large number of people is very different from just cooking in the classes. Because cooking in classes, you can just take time, but cooking for many people, you have a lot of pressure and might make mistakes. So its a very a good practice for them. His second reason is that even with the extra cost, the meals provided by these students are still much cheaper than that of the fancy restaurants in the town. But the food will be equally good. He thinks itll be worth it.4. Using the professors examples, explain the advertising technique of target marketing.Target marketing is a strategy of advertising to smaller, specific customers. The professor uses a cell-phone company as an example. If the company wants to sell phones to young people, itll choose to put a TV commercial in the programs that young people like to watch and in the commercial, the phone is shown to be cool and has a bright color. Also, in the commercial, kids are having a good time with their friends. If the company wants to appeal to businessmen, itll put a different TV commercial in a business program. Besides, the commercial will show how the cell-phone can handle all business efficiently and can save money. So its basically the same cell-phone, but the company makes two different commercials to attract two specific groups of people.5. Briefly summarize the womans problem. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.The woman sprained her wrest but she is supposed to play the violin in her string-quartet concert next week. Now she is upset. In the conversation, they talk about two possible solutions. The first one is that she can just wait and play the violin in the concert next week because her doctor says that she will be better when the concert begins. But she will be out of practice and probably perform badly. The second solution is that she can ask Jim to take her place. Jim is a very good violinist. But he is not very reliable, because he is always late for rehearsals. I recommend her to choose the second solution. Since she is definitely going to be out of practice, its better to ask Jim to take her place. And since she knows Jims problem, she can urge Jim to show up on time for all the rehearsals. Its just only a week.6.
