Task 1

Title:

Tell me how you met one of your friends.

解题思路：

不是阐述而是叙述题，因此要把起因经过结果讲清楚，这有别于很多别的托福口语独立题。

参考答案

The friend I want to talk about is Jim who is the first person I met in university.

Before I entered the university, I joined a online group which aims to help the freshmen on the orientation day. Jim was the person I met there. The first day in university was tough because I knew nothing about the campus. Jim helped me to enroll and carry the heavy luggage for me. After that, Jim kept helping me for the rest of university life. He lent me a lot of notebooks to help me study, sometimes coach me to solve mathematics problems. Besides, he provided me with a lot of advice on how to choose the clubs on campus and how to get internship from the uni’s website. Even now both of us had graduated from the university, we are still good friends and keep in touch all the time.

The man disagree.

1. The spare space is supposed to place TV and used for relaxation, like treating friends and watch TV.

2. Students are busy with their study so they don’t have much time to work on recipe, let alone cooking. Their dorm is used for study and relax.

参考答案

Personally speaking, I would like to say that taking notes is necessary for students. There are several reasons:
Firstly, In classes, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. You must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say. Review your notes from the previous class session before you come to class. This will help you remember what was covered and get you ready to understand new information your teacher provides.

Secondly, having good class notes will help you to be better prepared for tests. You should keep your attention focused on what your teacher is saying. Listen for "signal statements" that tell you what your teacher is about to say is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal statements are "The most important point..." and "Remember that..." Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the chalkboard.

回答思路：

1. Advocacy is to motivate and persuade people to do something, for example, building a playground. They would play ads on TV, persuading others to build it.
