How to decrease the traffic congestion in cities?
Sample answer:
Personally speaking, the city government can take several measures to decrease the traffic congestion. First of all, citizens should be encouraged and educated to take public transportation often. Such as buses, subways and public bicycles and so on. Meanwhile, the government need to develop urban public transportation greatly by building more public bus and subway routes and widening the roads and streets, which can not only improve the whole city function, but also use road resources more effectively. Besides, limiting the number of private cars on roads will also benefit the traffic conditions in cities.

Do you agree or disagree the following statement? It’s never too old to get a university degree.
Sample answer :
As far as I’m concerned, it’s never too late to achieve something including getting a university degree in one’s life. Many people think at age of even 30 it is too late to build up knowledge .It's so wrong.Take my elder brother as an example. He has been always interested in economics, but it was too difficult to go to university as he was working at the same time to support the family. He didn’t give up easily by studying online at his idle time. It took some years but eventually last year he managed to complete the degree. The knowledge he gained is quiteuseful in his job. Once again, the expression is valid: It is never too late to do something you want.

托福口语真题分析：又是关于gym的话题，不过话题与上次考试不尽相同。本次的话题属于经典的“关张”话题，校内某设施或某服务因为某些特殊原因需要暂停一段时间，然后学生讨论。考生们如果遵照上表的示范抓取信息记录笔记然后再在规定的时间内复述出整个事件本题的单项分至少可以轻松拿到3分。 本题可以作为考生们冲击高分的切入点，注意语音语调并且悄然加入一些高级词汇和表达，善用同义转述拿到满分4分则不是十分困难的事情。
TASK4
标题 Create Grouping
定义 group the items in a new way to increase the sales
例子 the professor uses watch as an example. In the past, watches are seen as expensive and luxury jewellery, always use gems or expensive metal to make watches and people are willing to pay a lot of money on them. One company use plastic materials instead of metal and they made their watches fun and fashionable, people pay less money to get a watch like that and it also changed the way people buy watches. Instead of just buying one watch a time, people tend to buy several watches a time because they can afford them.
托福口语真题分析：本次托福口语题目考生们普遍反映难度较低，主要就是因为这一道T4比较简单，是经典的促销商业题。需要注意的是group这个词，我们曾提醒过考生要注意一些“老词新考”现象，一些常用意义已经非常深入人心的词可能会拿出来考察一些不是很常用的意思。比如这个group，作名词很明显，是“组”的意思，但是这里使用了它做主动态动词时“分组”的含义，学生不应该被误导。

托福口语真题分析：所谓的“又双叒叕咋了”的T5万变不离其宗，记得用啄木鸟推荐的“糖葫芦结构”答题就可以确保所有的信息点都可以以合理的逻辑顺序铺展开来。T5和T3一样是冲高分的重要节点，T5的两个失分点无非是“信息不全”或者“逻辑混乱”。“信息量大”是T5 的一个特点，需要考生在备考时注意速记的练习。另外把如此多的信息有机地规整在一起，给出一个逻辑通顺的答案也要求考生对连接词如and, or, either...or..., however, therefore等的使用非常主动、熟练。
TASK6
树干(大话题)
Fish will encounter some challenges while they swim in fast current, and they solve 2 problems in 2 ways
树枝1(要点1) 树枝2(要点2)
hard for them to stop at a certain spot difficult for fish to get food
树叶1(例1) 树叶2(例2)
Catfish. They have very muscular and big fins which can help them swim against the current Trout. Instead of swimming in the centre of the water, where the speed of water is always faster than other places, they stay near the bank so they can avoid the current and get enough food to survive.
托福口语真题分析：经典的生物类“进化”题，提出一个极端环境，然后指明这种环境下生物生存会遇到怎样的问题，最后给出聪明的生物是如何应对的。是简单的“抛出问题——给出方案——证明可行”的逻辑，难度适中。高分T6答案的重点在于开篇第一句的总结，一句精确、完整的开门见山就会奠定一个良好的答题基础，为后续答案的引出做好铺设，考生们下苦功练习综合信息的能力，一针见血地给出答题要害。与心理学题目常常使用的“实验证明题”相比，这道题简单很多。这里提醒广大
