Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? Include details and examples to support your opinion. (05. 12.2; 07.10.17考题) Sample answer： Music and art should be important components(成分，科目) of the school curriculum(课程) because they have many uses besides recreation.To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with(接触) other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages,and physical education. Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys(传达) thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for(提供方法/途径) developing self-expression and creativity. , t E* a3 w! 8 k _ On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value(具有庞大价值). Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing. Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school. 2. Do you think sports courses should be a required part of every school day? (06. 9.23; 06.11.3考题) X$ Sample answer： F m From my point of view, sports courses form an essential part of childrens education for many reasons. First of all, doing sports helps maintain the physical fitness of students. Movement coming from physical exertion during exercise promotes circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Thus, it results in vigor and stamina which help to prevent diseases and sickness. Moreover, exercise develops sportsmanship among students. When they play as a team, they are able to identify their role and worth to reach the same goal. It also helps enrich/promote/improve their friendship and personality. Therefore, I think sports courses should be mandatory (必修的) in school. 3. Some students like classes where teachers lecture in class. Other students prefer classes where the students do some of the talking. Which type of class do you prefer? (06. 10. 15考题) (中立) Sample answer：: I agree that students should participate in discussions in class. Through two-way discussion, the teacher is able to know what are the difficult parts for the students and then easily help them solve the problems. Likewise, the students can have more opportunity to communicate with the teacher and report their difficulties in time Thus, Both teaching and learning can be effective. Meanwhile, the students can get a better understanding of teamwork and thus enhance their friendship. Most of all, the interactive class can achieve a better and more harmonious study atmosphere. This, in turn, would promote the efficiency. Thats why I think discussion in class is a good idea for students. 26. Some people believe that students who want to go to university after graduation from high school should have about one years time to get a job to obtain work experience or have a travel to enlarge their vision. Do you agree or disagree Whats your opinion? (07. 8.11考题) Sample answer： Both teaching and learning approaches are valuable and have relative merits. Classes dominated by teachers lectures are full of enthusiasm which stimulates interest. Then the interested people tend to learn more. Also, lectures provide a faster, simpler method of presenting information to the students. They are particularly useful for students who read poorly or who are unable to organize the material. While on the other hand, tutorial allows students to participate in discussions which put them in an active role rather than a passive one. However, neither of them is universal. Therefore, I can hardly say that I prefer either approach; I think the choice should depend on circumstances including the subject to learn, the depth to explore and the quality that the lecturer or the discussing group have. 9 w6 W; c 3托福口语心理学题目解析 心理学中的reinforcement，分为positive reinforcement和negative reinforcement两种，即增加能够激发个人兴趣的东西和消除自己不喜爱的东西。 举例说明： 1. positive(add the pleasure)：早起奖励自己好的food，这样就可以让你喜爱早起这种 behavior。 2. negative(remove the unpleasant behavior)，不喜爱早上shower，那么可以改在晚上，这样人也就不会那么讨厌早起了。 参照范例： The lecture tells about two main methods which can be used to reinforce people. It states that reinforcement of behavior means that people strengthen certain acts on purpose by using the positive or negative stimulus. Then the professor shows some examples. Lets suppose that you hate to get up early, but sometimes you have to do so. Then you could choose to encourage yourself to get up early by using either a positive or a negative reinforcement. The positive one is to add the pleasure to your daily life to help you make the decision easier. For example, you can reward yourself with a very nice breakfast if you get up early. A negative one is to remove the unpleasant behavior off your daily routine. For example, If you do not enjoy taking a shower early in the morning, you can take it in the evening instead. Therefore, when you have to get up early in the morning, you might feel better because you have cut things you dont like out of your morning schedule. 在这道Task6的讲座中，professor通过罗列两个实现早起上班的例子来说明reinforcement这种现象。心理学方面的问题在Task 6当中出现的比例还是比较高的，接下来我们再来看一个心理学的例子。 真题回忆： 讲课要点：心理学中的奖励机制reward。说奖励机制有两种效果。 举例说明： 1. 正的。第一种让这种行为更多的发生。她的女儿Jenny,不爱收拾屋子，他们就给她钱，这本来是她不愿意做的事情，但慢慢地就自觉自愿地多做了。 2. 反的。第二种导致行为发生少了。又是Jenny，喜爱弹钢琴，他们就奖励她，但是弹得少了，因为觉得弹钢琴变成了一种义务chore,就像收拾屋子。 参照范例： In the lecture the professor tells about the rewarding strategy in Psychology. He states that reward can influence peoples behavior in two ways: positively and negatively. Then the professor goes on to further explain that by taking her daughter Jenny for an example. Jenny doesnt like cleaning up the room, so he gives her money to encourage her to do that. And gradually, she likes the work and does it more often，which is the positive effect that rewarding has. But on the other hand, something that a person likes to do may become the daily chores because of the rewarding system. For example, Jenny likes to play the piano，but when her parents give her a reward, she, on the contrary, plays less often cause she thinks playing the piano, just like cleaning the house, is a kind of chore，that is negative effects that rewarding has. 第 10 页 共 10 页
