托福TPO10口语task5题目 Listening Part:
Listen to a conversation between two students.
(woman) Is there a problem with the electricity?
(man) Yeah, this storm knocked out power all over the city. And they’re saying it might be several hours before we have electricity again.
(woman) Oh, no! I have a history paper due tomorrow and I’ve been writing it on my lap top computer and the battery’s running low. I am going to need electricity soon.
(man) Well, you know, Jefferson City still has electricity. And there’s a library there where you can plug in lap top. You could go over there to work on your paper. It’s only about a twenty-minute drive.
(woman) That’s a good idea. Of course I’d hav e to pack up all my stuff and it is raining outside.
(man) Yeah, that’s true. Well, why don’t you just ask the professor for an extension? You know, tomorrow when you go to class just ask him if he would give you an extra day to get the paper done. I’m pretty sure he’d agree. You know, with the storm and all.
(woman) Yeah, that should be a lot easier. But then he did tell us when he gave us the assignment that he wouldn’t grant any extension.
(man) You don’t think he’d grant an exception in this case?
(woman) I’m not sure. It’s a little risk y. He might just say that we shouldn’t have waited until the last minute.
(man) Yeah, but, maybe if other students have the same problem you might be able to convince him.
(woman) Yeah, I mean, it’s not our fault that the electricity went out. Hmmm…

托福TPO10口语task5 范文：
The woman’s problem is that she needs to write her history paper that’s due the next day, but the storm has knocked down the power in the city, she can’t charge her laptop anymore. The first solution is that she can go to the library in another city to do her work there. The second is to ask the professor for an extension. I think the first solution is better, because first of all, that library is only 20 minutes away, it won’t take her too much time to get there to charge her computer and type her paper up. Second, the professor said that he won’t give any extension for this assignment, so I think it is a waste of time trying to get one.
