托福TPO1口语task5题目 Listening Part:
Now listen to a conversation between two students.
(man) Hey, Mary, how’s your volunteer work going? You’re still involved in that after-school program with the elementary kids?
(woman) Yeah, but I’ve got a problem. I am supposed to be driving a bunch of them to the zoo tomorrow.
(man) Yeah?
(woman) And I was supposed to rent a van for the trip. But I waited too long to call the rental agency to reserve one.
(man) Oh!
(woman) Now it turns out they don’t have any vans available for tomorrow. I don’t know what to do? These kids will be really disappointed if their trip gets cancelled.
(man) Hmmm, well, doesn’t one of your friends on campus have a car? I mean, couldn’t you borrow it for the day?
(woman) Yeah, probably, but I’d need to borrow two cars or there wouldn’t be enough space for all the kids.
(man) Um, hum.
(woman) That’s why I was going to rent the van. And then I’d need to find somebody else to drive, too. I can’t drive two cars by myself.
(man) Yeah, that’s true. Well, I am sure you can probably find a volunteer or if you wanted to save yourself the trouble of hunting down a second driver, what about public transportation? Check the bus schedule, I think there’s a bus line that goes right past the zoo.
(woman) Yeah, that’s a possibility, but I don’t know, it might be a real challenge supervising the kids on the bus.
(man) Ha, ha…
(woman) Sometimes they are a handful when they get excited. It’s an option, though.

托福TPO1口语task5 范文：
The woman’s problem is that she needs to drive some kids to the zoo, but she waited too long to rent a van. There are two possible solutions. The first solution is to borrow two cars from her friends for the day. The second solution is to take the kids to the zoo by bus. I think that going to the zoo by bus is a better idea. First of all, there is a bus that goes right past the zoo, it will be very convenient for her and the kids because they don’t have to walk too far. Second, it is very troublesome to borrow two cars from her friends in that short period of time, not to mention that she will have to find a second driver to drive the other car too.
