　　I would like to improve my English skills because globalization has made English the language of the world and it’s the only way for me to become competitive at an international level. I already have sufficient vocabulary in English but now I would like to be more fluent when it comes to expressing my ideas to other people in English. I hope to achieve this through practicing spoken English with my American professors at school and participating in all kinds of summer programs abroad where I can have the opportunity not only to converse with other international students but also to make presentations in front of them. I believe these exercises will force me to make sentences in English and speak more clearly in English.

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents today put more pressure on their children than parents in the past? Explain why. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.
　　解析：这是一道观点题，题目的关键词为parents put pressure on children, 另外需要注意时间上的对比，切换相关时态。请看范文（横线部分为回答思路）：
　　From my perspective, i certainly agree with the statement that parents today put more pressure on their children than before. Due to global economy today is driven by strong quantitative and analytical skills so parents today have no choice but to begin to equip their children with these skills at a young age. For instance, in my parents’ generation, they didn’t need to be proficient in computers or English and they were able to find a steady job that could support a family. However, in my generation, everyone is pushed by their parents to be proficient in information processing and literate in English so they can analyze and solve problems in this high-tech world. Therefore, parents today definitely put more pressure on their children than before.

托福口语预测Task 3:
　　A student has written letter proposing that the university allow students to park their cars on campus but the woman in the conversation opposes this proposal. First, the student in the letter thinks that this new change will make things a lot more convenient for students who drive to school. However, the woman in the conversation is against the idea. She says that taking the bus to school is very convenient too. There’ s a bus stop right outside of the school and the bus runs frequently. Students can also take the bus to downtown or other places. Second, the student in the letter thinks that the university needs to build a new parking lot to meet the high demand of parking spaces on campus. The woman in the conversation, on the other hand, argues that the empty lot on campus will be used for the construction of new laboratories and there’s really no more space on campus for more parking lots. For these reasons, the woman disagrees with the student’s letter of proposal.

托福口语预测Task 4:
　　The term signal redundancy refers to a phenomenon that animals repeat and convey a message through different sensory channels to other animals. In the professor’s example, when deer are in danger, they usually display more than one signal alerting other members in the group of potential threat. For instance, they will hold up their tails and wag their tails from side to side as if they’re waving a flag. The tail flag serves as a visual signal to other members. In addition to sending visual signals, deer also send an auditory signal to alert other members of danger just in case some deer aren’t able to receive the first visual signals in time. When a predator is near, some deer will lift their forefoot and stamp downward with a great force, which makes a lot of noise so that other deer can hear the warning and escape quickly.

托福口语预测Task 5:
　　The man in the conversation has a problem that he damaged the tennis racket borrowed from the gym because he threw the racket on the ground and was told to pay sixty dollars in compensation. He can either pay the sixty dollars or bring the brand new racket at home to school as a replacement by this weekend. In my opinion, it is better to pay the sixty dollars straight away to the gym. First, it takes him four hours to drive back home. The time and gas alone will probably cost more than sixty dollars in this case and he won’t even be able to watch his favorite football game, which makes it an unreasonable option for him. Second，if he pays the sixty dollars，he will be able to watch the football game he loves and save some time driving home. With more time freed up, he can work on his assignments or exams before the game begins, which will benefit his academic performance. For these reasons, I think the man should go with the first option.

托福口语预测Task 6:
　　In the lecture, the professor talks about how animals have adapted themselves to living in snowy places, including both physiological and behavioral adaptations. The professor uses the examples of the snowshoe hare and the caribou to illustrate how their adaptations have helped them survive in deep snow. First, the snowshoe hare is a type of small mammal that has the name of snowshoe because of their large hind feet. They can spread their toes to act like snowshoes, which helps them hop on the surface of deep snow without sinking. Their feet are also covered with fur to prevent freezing in low temperature. In the second example，the caribou have managed to travel in the snow through their behavioral adaptation. The caribou have been observed to walk in a single file, with the lead animal breaking through the trail and flattening the snow. Other caribou in the herd then follow its tracks and proceed more easily.
