本场托福考试依旧沿袭口语考察近期题目,所以有一套重复了3月托福题目。写作方面,学术写作死磕“工作类”题目,考察灵活工作制以及“共享工作”,而托福综合写作则延续老题重复,托福旧题。

灵活工作时间利弊
Dr.Diaz
Next week,we'll examine some challenges that managers face.Consider this:many managers give employees the freedom to set their own working hours.But other managers do not allow flexible schedules,arguing that they create problems.In industries where flexible work schedules are possible,do you think this policy would bring more benefits than adversities?
Claire
Flexible schedules are a good idea.For example,they could eliminate the problem of employees being late to work.
Paul
Claire makes an interesting point,but I'm not convinced.If an employee is unavailable at a time of day when most people are doing business,that might be inconvenient and even frustrating for others.

这个题是讨论灵活工作的制度。从员工的角度来讲,灵活工作的制度带来的自由是非常有吸引力的,但是从公司运转的角度来说,灵活工作的制度又会有效率上的问题。这个题对于没有任何工作经验的学生来讲,是有一定的难度的,工作类的题在托福写作中还是经常会遇到的,建议各位没有工作经验的考生一定要在平常多积累思路和例子。
同意Claire:
1.First,flexible schedules are an effective remedy for tardiness,which often causes pressure and anxiety for employees.When they are no longer bound by rigid routines set by alarm clocks,they tend to feel more at ease,and as a result,more dedicated to their work.
首先,灵活的安排可以有效解决迟到的问题,这个问题会经常给员工带来压力和焦虑。当员工摆脱了依靠闹钟来提醒的很固定的日常,他们会觉得更轻松,因此也会对工作更上心。
2.Furthermore,flexible schedules can boost work efficiency,as employees are less likely to slack off and more motivated to complete their tasks quickly.
此外,灵活的制度可以提高工作效率,因为员工会更少摸鱼,更有动力尽快完成工作。
同意Paul:
1.First,idleness may arise from flexible schedules and significantly affect work efficiency.Accustomed to a more relaxed pace of work,employees may become reluctant to take on responsibility or merely pay lip service when assigned taxing and demanding tasks.
首先,灵活的制度可能会滋生惰性,从而影响工作效率。当员工已经习惯了比较轻松的工作节奏后,当遇到强度比较大的工作时,他们会逃避责任或者只是敷衍一下。
2.Furthermore,most projects in a company require teamwork,which can conflict with the concept of flexible schedules.Group discussions and presentations are frequently part of their daily work,where all employees need to be present and actively engaged.
另外,公司里大多数的项目都需要团队合作来完成,这和灵活工作的理念是相悖的。员工的日常工作中,经常需要小组讨论和演讲,这需要员工都能同时出席并积极参与。
第二套
综合写作
主题:海燕是否会灭绝

阅读部分:
1.捕食者,例如猫。猫是外来物种,大量捕食Petrel。
2.人类活动带来更多的干扰,例如光。Petrel受到吸引,受伤或者死亡。
3.捕鱼活动误伤。
听力部分:
1.保护它们免受捕食者伤害,例如栅栏。
2.关闭灯光,这个措施在特定时间有效;政府可以指定法律。
3.调整捕鱼活动,下网的时间改为夜间等措施。
学术讨论
共享工作是否可行?
Dr.Diaz
Today,we are going to discuss an emerging work arrangement known as job sharing.Job sharing is a type of employment in which one full-time position can be shared by two part-time workers that is,the two people share the work,hours,and pay of one job.Do you think the job-sharing arrangement is a positive trend?Why or why not?
Claire
I'm not sure job sharing is a good idea.I think it would be too confusing for employers to keep track of who is working on which day or who is responsible for certain projects.
Paul
I think job sharing can lead to more fulfilling lives for a lot of people.Some people want to spend time developing their hobbies or taking classes,for example.
因学点评
这又是一个和工作相关的题目,只要遇到这类题,在想理由时考虑的方向大多都是工作和生活的平衡以及工作效率的高低。除此之外,促进就业以及收入的高低也可以成为我们写这类题的理由。
同意Claire:
1.I don’t think a job-sharing arrangement is a sustainable practice because it can lead to inconsistency in work,requiring more time and effort to resolve issues.Capabilities and work styles vary from individual to individual,making it unlikely for one person to be on par with another in terms of work quality and efficiency.
我不认为Job-sharing的安排是一个可持续的做法,因为这会导致工作中的不连贯,从而需要花更多时间和精力来解决工作中保持一致的问题。每个人的工作能力和工作风格都是不同的,在质量和效率上,很难找到两个差不多的人一起来完成同一个工作。
2.In addition,job-sharing may cause employees to slack off,as the arrangement discourages them from gaining a sense of accomplishment from their work,as well as a high salary,both of which can dampen their enthusiasm for the job.
此外,Job-sharing还会导致员工摸鱼,因为他们不能从工作里获得成就感以及高收入,这会让他们对工作没有热情。
同意Paul:
1.I believe job sharing enables people to maintain a better work-life balance,thereby enhancing their well-being and overall outlook on both work and life.When people are not confined solely to their jobs,they are more inclined to branch out and pursue new interests,which makes them feel rejuvenated.
我觉得Job Sharing能让人们更好地保持工作和生活的平衡,从而增加幸福感,对生活和工作的态度也更积极。当人们的生活不再受限于工作的时候,他们会开拓新的领域,追求新的爱好,这会让他们更有活力。
2.Meanwhile,job sharing is conducive to society during economic stagnation or downturns.The unemployment rate can decrease when a company’s available positions are effectively doubled through a job-sharing arrangement.
同时,Job sharing对于处在经济停滞期或者衰落期的社会来说是有益的。当公司的一个岗位通过Job sharing实际上变成了两个岗位的时候,失业率就会降低。
第三套
综合写作
主题:人类大脑变小的原因
阅读部分:
1.气候变暖。
2.农业的发展。
3.肌肉的减少。
听力部分:
1.地球气候多次变化,前几个阶段的变暖都没有导致大脑变小。
2.全球人类都大脑变小,但是不同地球的人类的食谱并不一致。
3.肌肉变小的幅度有限,无法解释大脑的变小。
学术讨论
名人与素人代言哪个效果好?
Dr.Achebe
This week in class we are learning about different methods of advertising and their effectiveness.One advertising strategy that companies often use is to ask celebrities,famous entertainers,or sports figures to promote their products.However,some experts believe that it is more effective to have ordinary people
talk about the product.Which of these two advertising strategies do you think is better?
Paul
I like the"ordinary people"approach.
Claire
I think the use of celebrities is really effective.
因学点评
今天的考题主题是“advertising”,相信大家并不陌生。我们可以顺着Paul,提出一个素人代言主打一个真实吸引消费者。如果同意Claire,我们可以谈名人效应,名人代言可以更加吸引注意力,在竞争中脱颖而出。
同意Paul:
1.The figure and outfit of ordinary people are similar to each other,which is more helpful for consumers to make a purchasing decision.素人的模样看起来和消费者差不多,这会对消费者决定要不要买这个商品更有帮助。
2.Since ordinary people have real experience about the product,they are more likely to provide genuine feedback to potential buyers.素人对于产品有真实的使用体
验,他们能给潜在消费者提供真实的反馈。
同意Claire:
1.The idol effect possessed by celebrities can quickly open up the market for a new product because famous entertainers have a large fan base.明星所具有的名人效应能够快速为一个商品打开市场,因为明星有很大的粉丝基础。
2.With fierce competition among similar products,celebrity endorsements can attract more attention of potential customers.面对同类产品激烈的竞争,名人的代言可以吸引更多潜在消费者的关注。
2.Speaking
第一套
Task 1
Some people believe that certain places on Earth should be preserved and protected forever from human development.Others believe that humans should be able to use and develop all areas on Earth as the human population grows.Which view do you agree with?Explain why.
因学点评
参考文本
I believe certain places on Earth should be left untouched by humans for two main reasons.First,if we exploit all natural resources,the environment could become uninhabitable and threaten our survival.For example,deforestation in the Amazon is becoming increasingly severe,which contributes to climate change.As a result,we’re going through more natural disasters like extreme heat and tornadoes each year.Moreover,the Earth is also home to other living creatures.As an animal lover,I think wildlife isn’t expendable.If humans took over every corner of the planet,natural habitats would be forever gone and many species could face extinction.

第二套
Task 1
Do you agree or disagree with the statement that children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do so?Please use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
因学点评
参考文本
I agree that it’s necessary to ask children to do household chores.First,doing housework teaches them important life skills that better prepare them for adulthood.For example,when children help with cooking or cleaning,they learn how to take care of themselves and their surroundings,which helps them to be independent later in life.Second,contributing to household tasks fosters a sense of responsibility in children.When they are involved in the upkeep of the house,they learn to value and care for the things around them.For instance,if a child is responsible for cleaning the floor,she begins to understand the importance of not littering.Such understanding is transferable to other aspects in their lives,such as learning and working.

第三套
Task 1
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is important to help people who have moved into your neighborhood to feel welcome and part of the community.
Use details and examples to explain your opinion.
因学点评
参考范文
I believe it’s really important to help newcomers fit into the neighborhood.First,when someone moves to a new place,they are unfamiliar with,they might feel a bit tense and lonely.At that point,if people in the community give them a warm welcome,it can help them feel at ease and quickly develop a sense of belonging.What’s more,new residents might need help but hesitate to ask because they don’t know anyone yet and may feel awkward reaching out.If neighbors offer to lend a hand like helping them carry furniture,doing a bit of house cleaning and showing them around,it can save them a lot of trouble and make them feel supported.
