本人托福119，口语29，我一朋友让我帮忙给他举办个托福口语沙龙，我就录制了我的段子。

我想，放在那里也是放着，我每天有空的时候分享一些吧~~~。

我会先说明题目，我的解题思路，再贴一段语(mai)音(meng)。

希望大家拍砖不要拍得太厉害
============我是分割线============
第一集：
今天我们讲的是：
Agree or disagree: should parents use money as incentive for kids to behave well in school?
家长是否应当用现金激励小孩在学校好好表现？
解题思路，这个见仁见智，说不可以比较简单，学习是小孩的义务云云，我挑可以这个角度来说吧，相对难一点。

我小笔记的思路
Agree: 现在小孩消费水平不低，也见过世面，通过现金激励也是一个有效的手段，当然也要结合其他措施综合来应对。


全文：I agree that parents should use money as an incentive. Nowadays, kids have more pocket money and they grow up with iPads and smartphones and overall they grow up in a richer environment. It may be difficult for kids to behave well in school because some are rebellious by nature, some move around a lot and can't really control themselves, but a cash incentive could be something they undesrstand and could prove to be useful. Of course, this doesn't mean that only cash is enough, a more comprehensive approach is needed, but money incentive can definitely be useful and should be used.

Some people believe that we should not discuss the private activities of popular people, like movie stars and singers. Do you agree? Why?
解题：经典米国三观题。同意的角度比较容易回答，我挑不同意的角度进行回答咯。
Answer: I disagree that we should not discuss the private activities of popular people. Due to their fame, celebrities influence trends in society. So it's ideal for them to be good role models and having their private activities talked about serves as a check on their actions, maintaining society's ethical standards. Also, private activities of celebrities are often public because those celebrities make it public in order to gain fame and attention. So it's mostly their fault they are on the front pages and if they wanted to be talked about, I don't see why we shouldn't. So yea that's why I think we should be able to discuss private activities.

Do you agree with disagree with the statement that it's easier to teach children in primary schools than students in universities.  
解题：这个各抒己见即可，可以套用幼儿学习的段子，也可以套用大学学习的段子。
I think it's easier to teach children in primary schools. Firstly, children have less prejudice and are more impressionable. They do not judge facts based on past experience, which may be totally wrong, but absorb new information with literally a fresh eye. It's easier to start something from scratch than to build on an existing, perhaps even flawed foundation. Secondly, children are overall more curious about the outside world. University students are very busy planning for the future etc so they might not be as curious as a child who is seeing everything for the first time. That's why I think it's easier to teach children in primary schools than students in universities.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to live at place where the climate stays the same all year round.
解题思路：个人偏好四季分明的季节，不然太无聊。。
I am so disagree with the statement that it is better to live at place where the climate stays the same year round. My hometown has four very obvious seasons and you can easily tell the beauty of different season. For example in spring you see flowers, in summer you see birds, in autumn you see yellow leaves and in winter you see snow. The changing natural environment brings fun and joy. Also if the climate stays the same you may not be able to enjoy fruits from different season, which is very important for me. Needless to say changing seasons offer so many activities which you could enjoy all year round.

Do you agree or disagree with the statement people's personality never changes.
解题：这个有点玄哦，但是没有标准答案。
I disagree with the statement that people's personality never changes. One of my friends used to be very introverted in university and people in the same class barely knew him. In fact, even classmates two dorms away weren't aware of his existence. But then he went to New York and studied and worked there and now he's very outgoing and extroverted. I think what he experienced in New York, the fact that he had to deal with a new environment and even work in foreign country, shaped his personality to become totally different. So I think personalities can definitely change based on major experiences and different environments.

Do you prefer driving a car or taking public transportation?
解题思路：我个人喜欢坐地铁的，可能和生活环境有关。。所以我就说喜欢公共交通。
Personally I would prefer taking public transportation. I lived in Manhattan for more than three years and now I am back in Shanghai. In these metropolitan areas you have well-planed subway lines, bus and trains. For example, subways lines in New York is 24/7 and no matter how late you can always jump on the subway train and get home. Another important thing is that you don’t have to worry too much about parking if you take public transportation. Sometimes you need to move car every two or three hours in Manhattan. Don’t forget environmental protection. If you take public transportation you are saving the world by cutting emissions.

If a mayor is to selected from the following candidates ,who all have no political experience but are successful in their own field, which one do you think is the best candidate for mayor?
1.   A university professor
2.   A businessman
3.   A doctor
解题思路：这恐怕是ETS历史上难得出过的考题，问这种尴尬的问题。我就挑这个奇葩题目回答一下咯。考试时候可能挑教授或者医生回答一下，万一考官不喜欢川普呢，这个就说不清楚了是吧。
Answer: I think the businessman would be the best candidate. In order to succeed, businessmen build coalitions among stakeholders. This capability is crucial for mayors too, since they govern cities that have stakeholders from all backgrounds and with different types of needs. By taking all stakeholders into account, a broad portion of the residents are covered. Businessmen also have to compromise to reach deals and often have to create win-win situations for all sides involved. It is important for a mayor to be willing to compromise and make the deals that benefit everyone, instead of being stubborn on his pet ideas and projects. Taking these into consideration, I would believe the businessman to be the best candidate for mayor.
