托福考试真题：2013.3.30托福考试口语机经
口语：
1. Talk about the one thing government can do to improve the educational system in your country. Give details and examples in your answer.
参考答案
The one thing government can, and should do to improve the education system in China is providing more funding for schools. If such funding were in place, school can use the money to do the following. First of all, the money can be spent toward hiring the right staff. For example, hiring more professors for the faculties, get more campus staff to provide students with good service. Also, the money can be used to update facilities on campus, such as buying books for the library, upgrading equipment in the labs and funding more research projects on campus.
2. Some people prefer to own cars; others prefer to mainly use public transportation. Which do you agree with? Explain why.
参考答案
I prefer to use public transportation rather than owning a car for the following reasons. First of all, public transit is pretty cheap in China, especially in Beijing. A bus ticket only costs about the equivalent of six and half US Cents. A subway ticket costs around 30 Cents. And for one fair, you can ride as stations as you need to. On the other hand, if I own a car, I have to pay for insurance, gas and maintenance every month as long as I own it which can be a pain in the neck. Also, using public transportation is good for the environment. If everyone rides the buses and subway to work, there will be fewer cars sitting in the streets during rush hour, doing nothing but producing emission while idling.
