[原创]IBT考试将近，为督促及鞭笞自己，以后每天都上来发帖子，包括贴上我的口语topic内容

jingwenppq

8月12日考试，Tx. 我的基本状况，3月底考完了gmat，大概690，作文5分，按理来说阅读不算是太差，可是现在对新托福还是有一点恐惧的心里。本来打算7月考试，由于没有名额了，所以只好在8月12日考，现在看来未必不是一件好事。之前大概花了十几天做了好几份历年试题，觉得阅读很简单，50分钟肯定可以搞定，错误率控制在5个以内，听力控制在10个以内。

前几天买了 IBTofficail guide，开始做了几篇阅读，很受打击，我的时间老不够用，做一篇将近30分钟，每篇做1－2个（每篇是13－14题），这样的速度我考试肯定来不及。总体感觉阅读难度比以往试题加大。听力部分，虽然听力语速有所降低，但是对文章的整体把握能力要求很高，没办法，只有多练多练。。。

口语和作文部分，口语我已经写了一些topic了，以前考过ielts，这个比ielts的难，其实我觉得听力如果很好，口语决对占优势，所以口语和作文第一部分都是建立在excellent的听力基础上的，当然熟悉topic，口语考试也是一定占优势的。

真的觉得IBT不是一件很轻松的活，可是觉得如果真的可以攻克它，对自己总体英语水平会有很大的提高。

加油，加油，加油！。。。。

希望有经验的朋友可以给我一些建议， 万分感谢！！！

如果有那些在美国的兄弟姐妹愿意和我一起并肩作战的，特别是提高口语，欢迎加我的hotmail： caroline_618(A) hotmail.com（注明IBT ，谢谢）

还给自己定一个目标，一定是100分以上。。。

这个星期打算把 IBTofficail guide看完（听力，阅读好好看，先入门），然后下个星期看Kalpan，这个书也弄到了。接下来的，再考虑吧。每天坚持练口语和作文。。。

山衔落日

jingwenppq加油！

导航贴有很多口语备考的内容，可以参考。http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=19&ID=162668&page=1

另外，口语的难点之一是迅速反应的能力，建议有可能的话，平时多用英语思考。

楼主提到听力和口语的关系，这里提供一下汉客老师的笔记，其中的“听力大醉拳”虽然是练习听力的，但感觉会对IBT口语也有不小的帮助（熟悉句子表达结构，正确念重音）。http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=43&ID=128603&page=1

1、
            说说你的国家喜欢的sport, game或者activity

Badminton is one of the most popular sports in my country. When I was little girl, I often played badminton with my friends or my classmates. It is a good way to keep health and train reflection ability; besides, it is easy for you to play this game, all you need are badminton ball and two rackets, of course, you still need find an empty place. It is not like basketball, because you cannot play without basket rings. So I think the two main reasons why badminton is so popular in my country are: firstly, it is very convenient to play badminton, second, it is also very cheap to play this game because every family can afford necessary tools for this game.

2、
            你喜欢用internet还是academic book or journal来找资料准备research。

Usually I would like to combine Internet and academic book or journal together to prepare for my research. I mean Internet and academic book or journals are both two good ways for me to get what I want, thus I dislike separating them apart. I still remember one of my papers was about wine of different countries: Australia, USA and French. I can use Internet to get more aboard topics about wine and find more specific information from academic books. Neither Internet nor academic books could supply me with enough information about wine alone.  I would like to say that binding them together will make your research much more perfect.

 

3、
            大学要花钱修个stadium体育馆，希望吸引top student, 并且希望能加强和community的联系。对话中mm不同意，认为达不到目的。首先，修其他咚咚可能更能吸引top student，比如lab太old，student center太小等；其次，community不爱看比赛是因为他们的队总输，短期也提高不了，以前不爱看不会因为体育馆大了就爱看。

(115 words) The girl rejects the main idea of university to spend a lot of money in repairing stadium, because she thinks that university will fail to obtain its aim that trying to attract top students. Firstly, she thinks that repairing other buildings such as lab or student center will be much more effective in attracting top students than repairing stadium. Secondly, the main reason for community do not like watching matches is that their teams always lose games, besides, it is very difficult to get improvement in a short time. The students who dislike watching games will still not go to stadium just because the university has repaired it. Thus, enlarging stadium will not change anything.

后面几个topics主要是靠听力，然后复诉一次，自己做一个模板。。。

killtoefle

LZ是在哪里找到的topic，还是自己想出来的？

gaara

1,读起来有点怪怪的,具体结构应该是(1),I choose...(2),reason 1 and example(3)reason 2 and example(4)conclusion by one sentences.

2,没必要搞花巧的东西,选定一样,按第一题的模式说就OK了!

3,应该先说明学校的行动and why,再说speaker的观点and why...这样会比较清晰.

谢谢指教。 我自己写的，没有做过认真的修改，欢迎大家指教，讨论。

11.8/11.19( five questions are same, except one)

What’s the most important book in your life?

 

( about 100 words) I would like to say that New concept English maybe the most important book in my life, it is published by Langman. I would like to say that this book indeed help me a lot in learning English and make me feel interested in English. When I was in my middle school, my English was very so bad. I even wanted to give up because it was so difficult for me. However, my English teacher suggested me to have a look at new concept English, gradually I find more and more interesting in learning English through reading this book because this book has many interested stories. You will never fell boring during study. I also recited many passages of this book and then I could tell other classmates some stories I had just read. It makes me more and more confident in learning English. I really think it is a very excellent book in helping people who want to study English and I also strongly recommend people who want to study English to have a look at this book since it is really worth reading. ( about one minutes)

 

2. 第二题，电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用，选择其中之一并解释原因。

It is a complicate and controversial issue to talk about Tv.  Different people hold different ideas in this issue. Some people assist that Tv has brought a lot of benefits to human being, however, on the other hand, some would like to object this opinion and persist that Tv does harm to modern society. In my eyes, I would like to advocate that Tv’s advantages definitely overweight its disadvantages. First of all, Tv has brought us a lot of information which are very important to people, such as information about hurricane, gas price and so on. Many issues which are closely related to people’s daily lives. Second, people can have a lot of entertainment through watching TV, such as watching popular movies, TV series, or hot programs, I would like to take American Idle for example. Thirdly, it is also a very effective way for children to obtain a lot of useful knowledge through watching TV.

 

3. 第三题，学校要修建sculpture，有个学生写了一封公开信反对，认为学校的经费已经很紧张，修建雕像只会加重学生的负担，并且占用学校的绿地。这封信的内容是阅读的。另外听一男一女的对话，女方为主，她认为钱是donor出的，因此不会对学生产生影响，另外觉得学校里有这样的art是件好事。男生说的忘了，然后女生又说有个叫paul的认为雕像占了他们踢球的地方，女生认为他们只要到别的地方踢球就好了。不是很准确的说，只能记住这么多了。问题是：说一下女生的观点。

The girl’s main idea is complete （against，object, refute, disagree） the opinion of open letter. Contrary to the reading that building sculpture will bring students more burdens and take up green land of school. The girl says that money for building the sculpture is donated by others, thus students do not need to afford any fee of this project. She also think it is a good way to build a new sculpture in the school for expressing art in her school. Second, this girl also disagree with the belief that sculpture will take up green land of school and give the reason that students can play football in other places. The main idea of this girl is that it is necessary to have a sculpture in this school.

 

第4题，关于groupthinking，先给一段文章解释什么是以及形成原因。听的部分是一个professor用自己在电脑公司参加一次电脑外部设计改进会的经历来证明文章的观点。

然后听一个人讲这个东东是不好的，原因是一次他们讨论公司的电脑是否要做的fashion一些以吸引顾客，这时大部分的员工都表示同意，但是跳出来一个senior manager 说应该重视技术而不是外表，大家又纷纷同意了SM，甚至是他的partner，因为怕得罪SM得不到升职，结果电脑卖的不好。但是下一年由于改进了外观就卖的好了。问题：解释什么是groupthinking，并用speaking中那个人讲的电脑公司的例子说明一下。

 

Groupthinking is the way that many people get together and try to find the best way in solving a problem through discussing. However, in the listening part a professor says that groupthinking is not an effective way in solving a problem. The professor tries to prove his idea through citing one meeting that he has experienced. They talked about whether to design more fashion appearance of computers to attract customers. At first, most people agreed this suggestion. However, a senior manager refuted this idea by pointing out that they should pay more attention to technique but not appearance of computer. Then most people turned to agreed with the senior manager for not offending him. They worried that they would not get any promotion for offending him. However, the truth proved that the senior manager’s decision was wrong, thus this company could not get a large market share in that year due to wrong decision. In the next year, this company improved the appearance design and it gained its market again.

 

5，第六题，一个女生在elementary school做volunteer，要带小孩子去zoo但是没有车，她想租车，租的话就要租两辆还要另外找一个人开车，男的建议她找朋友借车再找人帮她开，或者可以乘坐公共汽车。女的说可以考虑，但是在公车上照顾那么多小孩子是个challenge。问题是，说明一下解决问题的两种方法，并说一下你同意那种，解释原因。

 

A woman who is an volunteer in a primary (elementary) school wanted to take children to visit zoos, however, she has no vehicles, so she asked her friend for help. One suggestion is that to borrow two cars from other friends and ask one more person to drive for her, the other is using public transportation. In my opinion, I prefer to the former and refute the latter. It is not an ideal way to use public transportation. As we all know, children in primary school are curious about many things and they maybe do not follow the teacher’s words, they maybe even get off public car in advance. It is such a big challenge to take care so many children in public car. Although renting two vehicles maybe a little boring, but this way will make sure that every children are in the car and will not take off the car before arriving the destination. Anyway, the most important thing is to assure secure of every student.

 

第6题，关于小孩子的数学潜能。5岁以下的小孩子好像懂得加法，比如把一个doll放在桌子上让他看到，然后拿到屏幕后面藏起来，再拿出一个放到后面，这样小孩子就assume屏幕后面应该有两个dolls，但是科学家已经偷偷拿走了一个，因此当移开屏幕的时候小孩子看到的是一个，他就会表现的比较吃惊，怎么判断他是吃惊的呢，好像是他会stare？还是瞪着眼睛?没听清。问题是描述一下这个过程好像。

Describing math potential of children. It seems that children under five can understand addition. For example, scientist put a doll on a table and make sure that baby can see this doll, then hide this doll behind a screen. After doing these things, scientist hide another doll behind the screen. In this way, child can assume that it is suppose to have two dolls behind the screen. However, during this period, the scientist has get one doll away from the screen. Thus, when the scientist moves away the screen the child can only see just one doll. He usually appears to be surprise by staring the doll. Because he thinks that must be two dolls but he can only see one.
