托福口语
Suppose you have been admitted by two universities. One is a very good university but they don't offer you any scholarship and it's very expensive. The other one is less well-known but they do offer scholarships to you.

老题重现，在23年也考过。其实便宜和贵的话题我们很好讨论，只要代入自己学生的身份，就可以选择便宜的/有奖学金的，然后展开细说作为学生的生活压力，就是一个非常让人信服的理由了。
当然，理由要和我们选择的学校相对应，比如：选择有名气的学校，理由可以说：好找工作、能交到一些对自己有帮助的朋友、说出去会让别人羡慕等。给大家举两个例子：
选择给奖学金的学校：use the scholarship to cover tuition, living expenses, books, and rents. Otherwise, I need to take part-time jobs to cover my spending, which will interfere with my studies.
选择有名气的学校：I can learn better because of well-equipped facilities, most advanced labs, and famous professors. I can even make friends with students who have connections, so that they can help me with my career.

Dr. Achebe:
In this unit, we will be learning abouteffective strategies for increasing studentmotivation. Let's begin by discussing onecommon concern shared by many highschool teachers: some of their students,typically aged 14 to 18, seem to be bored oruninterested in learning. In your view, whatstrategy should teachers use to increasehigh school students' interest in learning?Please explain why you think this oneparticular strategy will be effective.
Claire: I believe teachers should incorporate moregroup work activities into their lessons. Whilecompleting tasks in groups or teams, students willhave an opportunity to share their opinions andlearn from their peers. Having a sense ofbelonging is important to teenagers, so being partof a team will likely make them more interestedin learning.
Kelly: In my opinion, teachers should explain howthe lessons they teach in the classroom have aconnection to events in the world outside highschool. Students will likely become moreinterested in learning once they understand thatthe lessons can help them be better prepared forfuture university studies and work.

最近考试的同学有福了，ETS机构最近比较仁慈，题目大多是重复过的，也没有特别奇怪的新题。20241019的DB题目是一道改革前的独立写作题目改编的，原题是3选1：Which ability do you think would be the most important for a high school teacher (students aged 15-18)?
1. The ability to help students plan for the future
2. The ability to find the students who need help and help them
3. Teach students how to learn outside the classroom
1️⃣同学们当然可以自己提出一个有效提高高中生学习兴趣的方式。
2️⃣Claire说的是group learning&peer/social pressure，用这个观点展开，给一个例子
3️⃣Kelly说的是connection to the real world，用这个观点展开，给一个例子注意一下，比如只能说一个strategy，不能说2个及以上我们也能观察到一个趋势，目前没出过3选1的DB真题，是不是因为官方以后打算把之前的3选1题目改成open-ended question呢？
