2014年托福口语Task 1 物品类真题：
1. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.(05. 11.19考题)
Sample answer：
The book that I think is the most useful is OG, Official Guide for new TOEFL. I''''m a book lover and have lots and lots of collections. But OG is of the greatest use ‘cause I''''m taking TOEFL Test, which is a must for a student who is gonna finish his or her overseas study in America. Not only does it give the brief introduction of the test, but it also provides test candidates with practical tips. On the other hand, some basics of English language are offered following the main parts, which is very helpful for those who don''''t have a good command of English. Most of all, it helps me get well prepared for TOEFL iBT and improve my performance on the four skills as well. This definitely leads to the academic success in my future study. That''''s why I think OG is the most useful book for me.
2. Which do you like to read, magazines, novels or poems? And why? (06. 2.3; 06. 10.28; 07. 1.6考题)
Sample answer：
I prefer magazines to fictions or poems, especially monthly magazines ‘cause they are like colorful flowers in a garden.They are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.
My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn''''t just stick to the same writers and trends. The presentation, theme, and subjects should vary to grab the interest of readers. And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas. I read five or six magazines per month and I buy two magazines regularly---fashion and beauty magazines, ‘cause they are worth reading for their entertainment news and fashion and beauty tips. Sometimes the personality profiles(个人档案/简介) of successful business icons(这里指“人物”) are also fun to read.
3. Describe the most efficient transportation in your country. (06. 4.8; 06. 12.15考题)
Sample answer：
The most effective means of transport, I''''d say, is bicycle, an indispensable companion of most Chinese even though the private cars are on the rise. Each Chinese family possesses at least one bicycle and it is especially popular among college students. Compared with cars, bicycle still has some advantages. First, it is very convenient due to its small size. It does not need special parking space and can be parked almost everywhere. Second, driven by man power, it doesn''''t need fuel, so it has nothing to do with air pollution and energy crisis. Third, most people can afford a bicycle, but not a more advanced car. With so many advantages, bicycle will remain to be the most effective means of transport in China in the following years.
4. Describe one of the most important inventions in the last 100 years. (06. 4.28; 07.3.10考题)
Sample answer：
Some people might think computer is one of the most important inventions in the last century. But I''''d say television. Since the invention of TV, human history has started a new page. First, TV allows people to learn about what''''s going on in the world. With such information, they are able to get a better understanding of the world they live in. What''''s more, TV provides a lot of interesting programs that many people enjoy after a long day''''s work. Its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and more relaxed. Most important of all, Television has a great influence on the way people think and talk.
5. If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do? (06. 7.29; 06. 11.18; 08.3.2考题)
Sample answer：
If I could freely choose any job, I would choose a job where I could do something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. Definitely it would be something helping people.
Teaching of course is sort of that kind of job---- if you do it properly you can certainly help people. Traditionally in China teachers have been very respected; we have a saying a teacher for a day is a father for life.
Nowadays, attitudes are changing, and perhaps people are more realistic. But my dream isn''''t changing. I wouldn''''t be helping them materially but I could give them a lot of pleasure and lighten their days.
I love teaching and I want it to be my whole life''''s career ‘cause I feel I really am contributing something to people''''s lives, to help them.
6. Talk about an composition that is important to you, ex: essay, poem, letter, and explain the reasons. (07. 3.23; 08.5.17考题)
Sample answer：
The most important letter that I can remember was a letter applying for a job. I had seen this job advertised in a local newspaper, the evening editon. It suited me very much and I was immediately attracted to it. It said to apply in writing, giving details of your experience, your education and when you were available，and you had to give the names and contacts of two references. I was qualified for the job and eager to get it.
When I was finished writing I was pretty satisfied and a little pleased, posted it off to the address given and waited! Thankfully, before I sweated too much, I got a letter after a couple of days, saying they wanted me to come in for interview. I was very pleased to go for the interview and got the job, my first job!
