作者：北美教学中心 托福口语组 魏婧漪

2021年9月下旬一共有5场托福考试，话题包含科技、学习、生活和社会类话题。其中有两道题是重复以前的考过的题目。在独立口语中，ETS有时候会重复以前的考题，所以大家在备考的过程中，可以去做一做往年的独立真题，也许可以在将来的考场上碰到原题。另外，9月25日的独立考题是往年写作出过的一个题目。有时候独立口语与独立写作会共享题库，所以大家在备考的时候，可以多留心交叉学科这个方面。

9月下旬的这五道题目中，难度最 大的是9月25日的这一题。题目问的是：专业运动员是否应得高薪？这一个话题与领域在以前是没有出现过的。所以仅仅按照我们的常规的共通思路是很难说好这一题的回答的。社会话题比较广泛，会需要大家对社会有一定的了解与有一定的思维辩证，大家平时也可以去了解社会方面的事件，做一些提前的积累。在考场上遇到这样的题目的时候，可以从个人的经历或者具体的例子来展开，这样会更容易想到思路与展开细节。

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The use of cell phones should be banned in certain situations. 

题目解析：

你同意以下观点吗？手机在一些特定场合应该被禁止。

这道题的题目理解起来不难。大家在看到这题后，可以从自身的经历去思考。那么有没有一些场合我们是希望大家不要使用手机的？例如在看电影或者在听音乐会的时候，你会希望你周围的人不要用手机吗？相信许多人应该多遇到过在电影院看电影的时候旁边的人使用手机的情况，你对此作何感想呢？有许多人再也无法集中注意力看电影了，会被屏幕的光甚至别人讲电话的声音给影响到。但是换个角度，为什么这些人一定要用手机回复信息或者接电话呢？那也许对方是真的有紧急的事情要处理，没有其他选择，他们需要在这个特定的场合处理重要的事情。

范文

Personally, I do agree that the use of cell phones should be banned in certain situations, such as in the movie theater. For starters, it could ensure everyone has a good time when watching a movie. If some people use their cell phone during the movie, the light from the screen or the noise they make would disturb other audiences without a doubt, which would be an awful experience for other audiences. In addition, allowing people to use their cell phone in particular occasions has some other negative effects in terms of the copy right. As far as I know, some people would illegally record the movie or the concert so that they could sell the recordings online for profits. Such behaviors violate the intellectual property right of those who are involved in the work being illegally filmed.

Which course do you prefer? Course that meets once a week and lasts for a couple of months, or the course that meets 3-4 times a week but finishes in a few weeks. 

题目解析：

你更喜欢哪种课程？一种课程是需要学生一周上一次课，会持续几个月才结课。另一种课程是在几周后就结课但是需要学生每周上课3-4次。

这一题虽然是新题，但是话题也是比较常规的学习类的话题。大家可以从自身经历来去思考。如果是一周一次的课程，意味着我们做作业与消化课堂内容的时间会更多更充足。那么我们对知识点的掌握会更好一些。如果我们一周上3次或者4次课的话，我们的作业量与任务量也会随之上升，也许我们无法跟上进度，从而学习效果不好。但是有的同学会认为当一门课持续太久的时候，上到后面的章节时，前面学过的东西就忘了，所以有时候时间线拉长了不一定是一件好事。

范文

For me, I would prefer the course that requires me to meet once a week. First of all, I think I would have more time to chew on the knowledge taught by the professors this way. Since we only meet once a week, I could use the rest of the week to do further research and go over my notes. Therefore, I would be able to have a comprehensive understanding of the materials. In addition, this study pattern could give me less stress. Usually, courses like this are not that intensive, and students probably only need to read one chapter of their textbook every week. But as for those courses that require students to meet 3-4 times a week, they are accelerated, and oftentimes, the students are supposed to read hundreds of pages of textbook to keep pace with the course, which is incredibly stressful.

Suppose your university has a tight financial budget, which one of the following areas would you suggest the school cut budget in, sports clubs (like hiking/ skiing club) or academic clubs (like debate/ math club)?

题目解析：

假如你的大学的财政很紧，你觉得大学应该在哪一个方面减少预算？运动社团（比如远足或者滑雪）还是学术社团（例如数学或者辩论）？

这一题的重复率是很高的，在近几年中，这是第三次考这个题，并且在今年3月才考过一次。这一题我们可以从两个俱乐部的好处与优点来展开思路。如果是选择多给体育社团资金的话，那么他们可以多举办一些体育休闲活动。当学生参加这些活动的时候，是有益于他们身心健康的。如果是选择多拨款给学术社团的话，则我们也可以去想一想学术社团对学生有什么好处。比如参加辩论可以培养学生的逻辑思维能力。答题的时候可以具体且依次说明。

范文

Personally, I would suggest to cut budget in academic clubs. For me, I am a sport person and kind of athletic. With enough budget, the school could organize a variety of both outdoor and indoor activities for students to participate in, which is really beneficial in various aspects. First of all, students could get close to the nature while doing outdoor sports. They could appreciate those spectacular sceneries and landscapes. Also, during this process, they could relax and take a break from their study. As we all know, students are always stressed out because of heavy workload. They need some sport activities to get refreshed and cope with stress. Without enough budget, the number of sports they could do will decrease, meaning they won’t be able to join their favorite sport club.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Professional athletes do not deserve the high salaries that they are paid. 

题目解析：

你同不同意以下的观点？专业运动员应得高薪。

这一题其实是比较新的。大家可以依照自己的生活经历来去思考。在前不久才结束的东京奥运会上，我们认识了或者重新见到了许多优 秀的运动员。例如打破了亚洲田径纪录的苏炳添，有“水花消失术”的全红婵。大家觉得这些人值得高薪吗？他们为了比赛，从小练习，付出了非常多的努力，应不应该拿到很高的报酬呢？另外，这些人为国出战为国争光，是否应得很高的薪资呢？在我的观点里，这是他们应得的。但欢迎有其他想法的同学阐述你的观点。 

范文

Personally, I do believe that professional athletes deserve the high salaries. First of all, people always say you will reap what you sow and hard work pays off. Professional athletes have devoted a lot of time and effort into training in order to be successful. Considering those endeavors, high salary is reasonable and even necessary. Moreover, these athletes always represent our home country to take part in international competitions and matches. A lot of them have won the honor for the country or even broke the world record in their own field. In this case, they should be rewarded with high salary.

Do you agree or disagree that we should not try to help our friends with their problems unless they ask for our help? 

题目解析：

你同不同意我们不应该帮助我们的朋友除非他们向我们求助？

这一题也是以前考过的老题。这一题也是生活类的话题。大家可以结合自己的生活经历来去思考。有时候朋友没有找我们帮忙也许是因为他们自己可以解决，并且有些人是非常爱面子的，不想要找人帮忙，如果我们帮了，反而会造成不好的后果。但是也有朋友是不好意思找我们帮忙，怕麻烦到我们，于是没有向我们寻求帮助。如果我们主动帮忙的话，对他们来说会是一个暖心的事情。

范文

In my opinion, I agree that we should not help our friends unless they ask for it. First of all, I think sometimes they are capable of solving problems on their own. If we insist to help them, it will actually cause more issues, which will complicate the situation. In the end, we might worsen the problem rather than solve the problem. In addition, some people have high self-esteem and are not willing to let others help them out when encountering some obstacles. If we try to offer some help with good intentions, it will still hurt their feelings. We should just step back and let our friends solve their problems by themselves.
