  托福口语话题语料库

  一、托福口语话题语料库:成功的因素

  1、关于激励Motivation

  词组:light up, push oneself, be destructive to s/th, tap the potential, miss out;

  没有自我激励的人生就像一个只死鱼一样,那种人生不值得活;人应该不停的点燃内心的火苗把自己推向成功。没有自我激励的话,就是郁郁寡欢、无所事事;更糟糕的是没有办法开发自己的潜力,并措施成功的机会。

  Without motivation we're like a dead fish in the water, that kind of life is not worth living. we should constantly light up our internal fire and push ourselves harder to achieve our goals. While the lack of motivation is destructive to oneself, and one will feel depressed, and have a pretty low esteem. To make matter worse, one is not be able to tap the full potential within oneself, thus he or she would miss out the chance to be successful.

  2、关于珍惜“今天”

  你不能改变过去,但你可以改变未来。我们应该明白,事情不总是他们期望的方式。当他们犯错误时,他们关注的解决方案,而不是遗憾。俗话说,昨天是历史,明天是神秘的,但是今天是一个礼物,这就是为什么我们称之为礼物。

  You can't change the past but you can change the future. We should understand that things don t always work out the way we expect. When we make mistakes, we ought to focus on solutions, not on regrets. As the saying goes, yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift, that's why we call it present.

  3、关于艺术家的“成功”

  并不是天分造就伟大的艺术家,是努力,坚持,毅力,决心和毅力。并不是每一个伟大的艺术家可以在五岁的时候能做出很好的画作。

  It isn't talent that makes great artists, it's hard work, persistence, will power, determination, and fortitude. Not every great artist can draw nice pictures by the age of five.

  成功的艺术家不是以天分支撑的,那只是不付出努力的借口。还有其他更重要的因素如能否够寻找社会关系;与同行和导师而不是天赋更重要。

  Successful artists aren't underpinned by talent, it is an excuse not to put in the effort that is needed to be a successful artist. There are other more important factors like, to be able to seek out social connections, and build on them. Connecting with peers and mentors is more important than being talented.

  4、必须上大学才能成功吗

  Advanced education provides you with the tools you need to be successful in your future career. Not only can you acquire specific knowledge in a particular filed, like economics, physics, and biology, and stuff, you can also get practical experience in relevant areas, like psychological counseling, physical therapy, and even nursing.

  高等教育为您提你未来职业生涯成功需要的工具。不仅可以获得特定的知识在一个特定的领域,如经济学、物理学、生物学等等,你也可以在相关领域获得实际经验,如心理咨询,物理治疗,甚至护理。

  5、生意人要不要随和?

  能够建立社会和职业关系网,并扩大他们的能力是企业家成功的关键因素,为了实现这个目标,我们需要随和,这样使破冰更容易。

  The ability to build up social and professional connections and expand them is the key factor to be a successful business person, and in order to achieve that, one needs to be easygoing, cuz that makes ice breaking much more easier.

  二、托福口语话题语料库:学校

  学校的硬件设施 :

  活动类型:

  哑铃do some dumbbell, 室内跑道 run on the indoor track, 在场地上打球 play some sport on the court, 水上运动do some aquatic activities, 邮箱运动如瑜伽、游泳、在跑步机上跑步aerobics like yoga, swimming, running on a treadmill

  体育馆是个休闲娱乐的地方,是打发时间的首选;在这里可以做各种各样的运动(举以上的例子)。

  A gym is the place where students can have fun and relax themselves, for many students it can be the first choices when it comes to how to spend their spare time. There are lots of fun activities you can do in the gym like, play some sports on the court, do some aerobics like yoga, swimming, and running on a treadmill,and stuff like that.

  作用:保持体型Keep fit, 有趣 have fun,放松 relax,引导学生健康、活跃的生活方式 lead a healthy and active lifestyle

  总之,很有必要建设一个体育馆。

  In a nutshell, it is really important for a university to own a nice recreation center(gym 的同义词),for it helps to promote a healthy, active lifestyle.

  实验室laboratory :

  做实验conduct research, 把理论应用于实际apply theory in practice, 直观的理解概念understand concepts intuitively(直观的),培养学生的创造力 develop students' creativity;

  Great labs are a big part of a good university, students can use the lab to apply theory into practice and conduct researches in their fields, moreover, by doing experiments students can understand the concepts better and develop their creativity.

  一个学校的软实力 :

  名声reputation :

  学校的名声跟学生没有直接关系,我觉得没啥意义。

  Reputation of a university has no direct impact on its students, and it is kind of meaningless.

  教员faculty :

  跟audit class联系在一起;

  听课是最好的了解一个学校的方式,因为教授的知识、教书技巧和方式代表着学校,而且上课中传递的价值观在很大程度上也是学校的价值观。

  Auditing class is the best to know the university better, since faculty members are an indispensable part of the university. Their knowledge,teaching skills and even the way they teach the class represent the university. The values they uphold in the class are the ones that are cherished by the university.

  地点location :

  就学校的地点可以参看之前的地点语料库:

  比如大都市metropolis, 多文化的multicultural, 方便的convenient, 公共交通 public transportation, 商店shops, 酒吧和餐馆 bars and restaurant,充满活力 full of dynamics; 当然也可以跟social里面的broaden your horizon and enrich your experience结合在一起。

  大学的大小size :

  “大”的好处 :

  多元化diverse student body, 俱乐部和社团lots of clubs and societies, 完备的设施well established facilities, 著名的教授lots of famous professors, 活动很多various activities;

  个人而言, 我喜欢较大的大学,学生团体会比较多元, 国际学生很多,他们组织好多社会活动。

  Personally, I would say I like to attend a big university. A big university tends to have a diverse student body, there might be lots of international students like me, and they organize all kinds of social activities.

  还有较大的大学会有一流的设备如图书馆、体育馆和实验设施。

  Also, a big university is likely to have very well established facilities like multi-functional libraries, recreation centers and research facilities. These are big parts of a colorful university life.

  三、托福口语话题语料库:住址或旅游地点选择

  乡村的好处:

  乡村祥和宁静peace and quiet of the country, very peaceful, calm, solitude;远离城市的喧嚣away from all the hustle and bustle of the city,浪漫 romantic,

  秀丽风景beautiful scenes, 离大自然更近 close to mother nature, 蓝天 clear skies, 宁静的夜晚peaceful evenings,没有交通拥堵no bad traffic, 没有犯罪no crimes

  我喜欢乡下的安详和宁静,在乡下可以更加亲近大自然;而我讨厌城市的喧嚣和吵闹。

  Personally, I would say living in the country is my option. I hate the hustle and bustle of the city. I like the solitude, clear skies, and peaceful evenings in the country and it is pretty romantic. Living in the country makes it possible for me to be close to mother nature.

  同样道理我们只需把live in the country 换成take vacations in the country 来回答旅游类的题目:

  以这句话开头:

  To get away from noise and pollution in the city and take a vacation in place where there is peace and solitude is a great choice to me.

  接下来说乡村的好处就可以啦。

  乡村的缺点:

  远离现代文明far away from modern civilization, 不方便inconvenient, 无聊boring, 工作较少 less job options, 找到好工作land nice jobs,

  我觉得住在乡下没有道理,那里远离人类文明,找个超市、便利店都不容易更不用说商场了;还有就是城市的工作机会更多。

  It makes more sense to me not to live in the country, cuz it is far away from the advanced civilization, and it is super inconvenient, it is hard to find supermarket and convenient stores, to say nothing about shopping malls. Plus, one needs to find a decent job in order to survive and living in the country is the last thing you want to do if you want to land a nice job.

  城市的好处:

  热闹:eventful, hurly and burly of the city,

  有生机和活力:full of dynamics, meet the whole diversity of people, multicultural, close to advanced to modern civilization

  饭店和娱乐:restaurants, entertainment: movie theater, museum, and going to concerts, be convenient to live in,

  工作机会多: more job options,

  我是个城市的孩子,超级喜欢城市的喧嚣,那里充满了活力,你可以结识各种各样的人们,那里更加接近人类文明。不仅如此,休闲娱乐的地方也很多如电影院、演唱会或者去博物馆。

  I would say I am a city boy and like to live in the city. I am a big fan of the hurly and burly of big cities. Cities are full of dynamics, you get a chance to meet a whole diversity of people and feel more close to advanced human civilization. On top of that, you get to entertain yourselves with a bunch of choices, like go to the cinema, go to a concert, and even visit the museum on weekends.

  关于气候:

  在回答题目的时候可以选择喜欢四季分明的地方,第一句

  我喜欢住在四季分明的地方,并很享受四季的不同,如果在一个没有四季的地方就太无聊了。

  I like to live in a place where there are distinctive seasons, cuz I enjoy the characteristics of every single season, it will be really boring just living in the same season without any change.

  春天:

  特点:most mild weather, breeze, love Spring, warm enough, not being sickly hot, a lot of rain ,sunny days not too hot

  句子:

  I like the most mild weather in spring, I got to enjoy the breeze when I do some jogging, it is warm enough and not being sickly hot.

  秋天:

  特点:colorful leaves, the season of harvest, Halloween, mild temperature, beautiful landscape,

  句子:

  我特别喜欢秋天,没有比穿着运动衫在户外做运动更好的事情了,当然秋天还有万圣节;气温不是太高也不是太低,由于各种颜色的树叶点缀景色也很美丽;有机会去农场看看会闻到水果的味道。

  I particularly like fall, there is nothing better than wearing sweatpants and spending time outdoors, like playing soccer with friends, and Halloween makes it more fun. The temperature is perfect, not freezing cold, not sizzling hot. The landscaping is beautiful with the colorful leaves. If you ever got a chance to pass a farm with peaches trees and tomatoes, you can smell the freshness of the fruit.

  夏天:water skiing and tubing, barbecue, beach

  句子:In summer, there are a whole lot of activities that you can do, like go to the beach, just lying on the beach or go ahead and do some water skiing and tubing.

  夏天:water skiing and tubing, barbecue, beach

  句子:In summer, there are a whole lot of activities you can do, like going to the beach, just lying on the beach or go ahead and do some water skiing and tubing. These are of great fun.

  关于宿舍(如养猫):

  单词、短语:messy, noisy, be allergic to

  宿舍不该养动物,动物太脏、太吵了,宿舍应该是个休息的地方;再说有的人对动物过敏。

  I would no pets should be allowed in campus dorms, cuz dorm is supposed to be a quiet place, where students can get some rest from whole day's study, and pets are generally very messy and noisy, and some people are allergic to them.

  不管怎么说,在大学读书很昂贵,我们应该完成作为学生的职责也就是保持一个高的GPA,其他所有的事情都在其后;我建议学生把动物放在家,这样对动物也公平,毕竟上学的时候没有太多时间陪它们。

  Anyway, going to college costs a lot and one should prioritize their role as a student and maintain a high GPA, everything else comes after that, I would suggest students should leave the animals home, and I think it is kind of fair to pets, cuz college are busy, one does not have enough time to be with the pets.

  四、托福口语话题语料库:工作经验

  要实习的理由:

  一开始可以用让步:

  · Keeping a decent GPA and doing an internship on top of that is pretty hard to achieve,

  · Admittedly, working and studying at the same time is not going to be easy,

  实习的好处enormous benefits:

  如:务实的眼光practical insights, 合理利用时间prioritize and budget time, 接触业界get exposure in the industry, 真实世界的经验 real world experience,拓宽社交圈子expand you

  接上面的让步(选择一个即可):

  然而,实习有丰厚的回报如感受真实的世界,获取第一手的业界工作经验,并能发现自己是否喜欢现在实习的行业。

  however, one might get enormous benefits from internship. To start with, you will be exposed to the real world, and get firsthand experience working in the industry, you'll have a chance to see whether you really like the profession or not.

  扩宽社交圈子,有如一旦公司有全职职位空缺肯定会先考虑实习生;有的公司还会给实习生提供奖学金。

  Also, it helps to expand your social network, world famous corporations keep in touch with interns, suppose they have any vacancies in the future, they'll consider you to fill it up, and some company might even offer scholarships to interning students.

  给刚入职新人的建议:

  自学self learner:

  搜寻信息的能力search and retain information;

  例句:

  职业人士应该是一个自学者,尤其是没有人帮你的时候,你应该掌握收集信息的能力并胜任自己的工作。

  It is really important for a professional to be a self learner, there are times when nobody is there to help you out, so you need to search and retain the information you need and be competent on the job.

  好的倾听者和观察者:

  be a listener and observer, 有灵性 be sensible, 意识到be aware of, 低调keep a low profile/keep it low

  例句:

  刚进入新单位对工作方式和周围的动态不熟,应该做一个观察者和倾听者,并低调做人。

  A good advice for newcomers in workplace is that they should try to be a a listener and observer. Since he is not familiar with way that people do their works in the new place, it is important for him to be sensible and aware of the dynamics in the company and keep a low profile.

  信守诺言:keep your word,

  例句:

  我建议他信守诺言,当你做了承诺而不能兑现的时候就没有人信任你了,这无疑对自己的声誉不好。

  I would suggest that he should keep his word. If you promised something and cannot deliver that, nobody will trust you anymore and that is really bad for your reputation.

  be confident

  诚实:be honest

  例句:

  没有人是完美的,人人都会犯错误;我建议他不要掩饰自己的错误、夸大自己的能力。优秀的员工激励着自己完成工作但同时当尝试创新方法不成功的时候也会认错。

  Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. I would suggest him not try to hide his mistakes or inflate his competencies. A good employee is very motivated to fulfill the task, but honestly admits his mistake when trying something new that does not really work out.
