8月16日综合口语机经
Task 1: Talk about an activity you enjoy doing with your family. Why do you enjoy this activity?
Sample
I enjoyed camping with my family the most. First of all, spending a weekend camping gives us a chance to take a break from buildings and streets in the city. It’s wonderful to be in the nature and see some wild animals. We see lots of deer on our trips. Second, camping taught me many life skills. I learned how to fish, start a fire and navigate without a compass. I rarely use these skills, but I think it’s nice to have them. Lastly, the long hikes we took on our camping trips made me a tougher person both mentally and physically.
Task 2: Do you agree or disagree with the statement that playing video games is a waste of time.
Sample
I do believe that playing video games is a waste of time. This is a true story, from my own life. In my first year in high school, I was addicted to video games. I played them all the time and I wasn’t studying enough. I was failing chemistry. That was my hardest class. So this was a conflict for me, because I wanted a good job when I grew up, and I believed, I knew, that if you want a good career, you got to do well in school. I quit playing after I thought about it long and hard. A few months later, I saw great improvement with my grade, and I haven’t played much even since.
Task 3
学生建议学校取消停车场因为它占地大，取消的话会给学生带来很多好处。
女生同意。取消的话学生会有很多绿地来hang out， 而且这样可以缓解交通问题，方便学生骑自行车。
Proposal: A student proposes the school should eliminate the big parking lot, and it will bring a lot of benefits to students.
The woman agrees for two reasons.
1. If the parking lot is eliminated, students will have a lot of green space to hang out. 2. It will also ease the traffic and be convenient for students to ride their bikes around.
Task 4
Principle of allocation: 动物会根据任务的难易来调整自己精力和时间的分配。
教授举例，elephant seals生活的海洋有很多鱼，所以找食物很容易但是繁殖很难，需要花时间去找地方繁殖。它们要确定自己的领地吸引异性，还要费力赶走其他的竞争者。
The professor talks about principle of allocation which means animals allocate their energy and time based on the degree of difficulty of the tasks. For example, there are a lot of fish where elephant seals live, so it is easy to find food but hard to reproduce. It takes a lot of time to find a location, attract female seals, and drive away competitors.
Task 5
女学生在文学讨论课上总是助教在说，学生们没有机会讨论。
Solution 1: 跟老师直接反应问题并且换个班，但她怕会影响TA甚至让TA丢工作。
Solution 2: 下学期再选这个课，但她已经付出很大的精力并且买了很多书。
The woman’s problem is that at her literature seminar, the TA is talking too much and other students don’t have the chance to discuss. The first solution is that she can talk to the professor and change a class, but she is afraid the TA might lose his/her job. The second solution is that she can take this course next semester, but she has been working a lot on this class and bought a lot of books.
Task 6
Marketing广告既要有语言又要有图像来吸引顾客。举例：旅游公司推广seaside既要给出好看的图片(colorful and striking景色，beach and skies), 又要用文字描述哪里好。
Advertisement should include words and images to appeal to customers. For example, a travel agency promotes a seaside by showing colorful and striking scenes, like beaches and beautiful skies, and using words to describe them.
