托福口语关于电脑及网络语料库

托福口语评分标准中出了natural、spontaneous、improvised等类似的字眼，译为自然即兴的，也就是说rater评分者更希望看到考生即兴的发挥而不是死板机械的背诵;但是如果考生平时不积累一些相关语料库想必也不会达到信手拈来的地步，为此笔者给大家带来一系列托福独立口语部分中的常见话题语料库，希望大家在背诵的基础上把题目回答的更自然。

关键词： TV/computer/internet/cell phone

托福真题经常出现电脑、因特网、手机等相关的话题，如你认为高中生应不应该使用手机，电脑是不是给人类生活带来了便利，你认为是报纸、电视还是老师最能影响你， 你认为是书籍还是因特网可以更好的帮助做研究。当然也会出现描述你认为100年来人类最伟大的发明，笔者认为电脑和因特网比电灯、指南针等等更好回答;而托福是一个语言考试，就一二题而言不会根据观点opinion判分;基于以上考虑，考生选择可以使自己尽情展示language competency的topic和opinion才是王道。以上题目的英文如下：

Which of the following acts have more influence on you, newspaper, TV, or teachers? Explain the reason with specific details.

Some believe that computer have improved our lives while others think computers have caused a variety of problems. Which do you prefer? Please give your opinion and include specific examples and details.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Please give specific reasons for your opinion. Parents should restrict the TV programs that are watched by their kids instead of letting the kids watch TV programs freely.
