4月12日托福独立口语真题解析
Task 1: What should parents do to help their children to succeed in school?
本题需结合实际生活经验进行答题，切入点是children succeed in the school。可以先
列举哪些事能够帮助孩子在学校里“成功”。比如：督促完成作业(help supervise the children
to finish his homework)或者帮助孩子解答一些可能遇到的疑问(answer some questions
that the children might have)，更为广泛的方面可以谈一谈以身作则(try to show their kids
how to be a good student)，结合举例法可以非常容易地填充内容和时间。

参考答案：
Q: What should parents do to help their children to succeed in school?
A: Well I think the best thing that parents can do to help their children succeed in
school is to play the role of a teaching assistant. They should make sure that their kids
finish their homework on time and try their best to answer any questions that their kids
might have. For example when I was little, my mother used to teach me a little English. I
learned most of the things at school but I still need revisions at home. My mom was there
with to make sure that I read and recite all the required passages and I’m very grateful for
my mom’s supervision. She can also answer some of my questions instantly and having
someone companied while studying makes me feel that I’m not alone.

Task 2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: all students
should attend social activities such as join a club or a sports team in school.

本题回答的思路正反两面皆可。回答时采用举例说明配合论证即可。
支持的一方可以有如下理由：学习生活本身是单调的，从事不同的社团活动有助于学生
转换思维开发智力(to learn in a balanced and comprehensive manner)，培养更为全面的学
生(not only good at study but also have good mental and physical health)等等。举身边例
子亦可。

反对意见则可以说应当尊重每个学生自己的选择(respect their own choices)，学校不应
该对于习惯专注于学习的学生强迫其参与课外活动。课外活动应当本着个人的兴趣，不是所
有学生都适合参加课外活动。或者说课外活动会影响学生学习的专注度(serve as a
distraction to students)，导致学生本末倒置，在学业方面受到影响(influence their academic
performance)。

在此以赞成方为例给出参考答案：

Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: all students should
attend social activities such as join a club or a sports team in school.

A: I support the idea that clubs and sports activities are important for all students. Our
society has put too much emphasis on the scores and academic performances of a
student, but in my opinion a good student should be much more comprehensive. I’ve seen
many students who are good at getting high scores for their tests, but have rather poor
communication skills and can’t deliver their ideas to others due to their lack of experience
in group activities. If they had taken part in clubs and sports activities, where they’d be
able to learn to work with people and acquire necessary communication skills, they would
possibly be more adept at speaking and presenting, and become more open. Learning
things other than academic skills should be equally important if one hopes to live
independently in the society.
