托福口语话题练习之美国大选
Professor: Amir just became an American citizen, and this year he is voting in his first American election. Today he is having breakfast with his wife, Sharon, and they're talking about the upcoming election.
Amir: So honey, who do you think you're going to vote for in the election? I really like both the Republican and Democratic candidates, but I can't decide who to vote for.
Sharon: You like both of them? I think they're both terrible. For me the question isn't who I like the most, but who I dislike the least!
Amir: Well, I guess that's an interesting way to look at it. To be honest I don't care if Virginia is a blue state or a red state. I just want a moderate candidate who will do a good job.
Sharon: Yeah, you're right. The only thing I care about is that whoever wins isn't too partisan.
看来Amir和Sharon都是moderate voters--温和的选民。不过我不明白，Amir说，他不在乎Virginia州变成blue state or red state，这是什么意思呢?
Professor: In America, the color red represents the Republican Party, and the color blue represents the Democratic Party.
哦，红色代表共和党，蓝色代表民主党。所以，Amir 意思是，他不在乎州长是由共和党人来做，还是民主党人来做，最好是个温和派、干实事儿的人。
Professor: Right! And Sharon says she doesn't want a candidate who is too partisan. Someone is partisan if he refuses to compromise with the other side.
哦，partisan就是“党派性的”。
Amir: Well what do you think the results are going to be? Virginia used to always be a landslide for the Republicans, but these days it's a tossup.
Sharon: You're right, it's pretty hard to say. But since the incumbent is a Republican, I'd have to give him a slight advantage.
Amir: Yeah, incumbents always have an easier time with fundraising, and everybody already knows them because they've been in office for a while.
Sharon: Yeah, but judging by what a bad job he's done, I don't think that name recognition is going to help him!
看来这次选举竞争很激烈。现在选举结果是tossup - 就像扔硬币一样，胜选机会是一半一半，哪个候选人都不会有landslide--压倒性胜利。
Professor: Exactly. But one candidate has an advantage, right?
对，那就是the incumbent--在职者。Amir说，他在fundraising--筹款，和name recognition--知名度方面，都有优势。
Professor: That's true, but name recognition isn't always a good thing, right?
对，知名度不一定都是好事，因为不知道是好名还是骂名!
Amir: A lot of analysts are saying that the election is going to be decided by turnout. The more people vote, the more it's likely to benefit the Democrat.
Sharon: (Sigh) .... Amir, can we stop talking about politics? I just want to eat my breakfast in peace.
Amir: But Sharon, this is my first time voting in an American election. Can't you understand how excited I am?
Sharon: Look, if you're really into the election, why don't you listen to the pundits talk about it?
Amir: Come on Sharon, how can you think about eating breakfast at a time like this? This election is going to decide the future of our country!
Sharon: Amir, if you don't stop talking about politics, it's going to decide the future of your marriage!
professor, 什么叫“turnout”?
Professor: Turnout is the number of people who actually go out and vote on election day. In the US, turnout is usually about 50 percent across the country.
哦，turnout就是投票人数。那么，什么叫pundits呢?
Professor: Pundits are professional commentators. They are famous people who spend all their time talking about their views on current events.
哦，就是那些专门在电视广播里对时事发表看法的评论家! 这么说，我同意Sharon的观点。现在，只要一开电视，到处都是pundits，已经够烦人了，谁还想自己家里的老公也每天大谈政治呢?
A: 原来，Amir和Sharon都是moderate voters, 温和选民，他们更注重的不是partisan党派，而是谁的政策更合理。两人觉得，这次的选举会是个tossup, 两党机会旗鼓相当，哪个候选人都不会有landslide, 压倒性胜利。
B: Yeah, I guess that's the situation today. The new poll shows that Obama and Romney's support rate are incredibly close.
A: So who are you going to vote for?
B: Hmm....杨琳, let me give you some sensitivity training. In America, we don't ask people this kind of question. Anything involving the politics are extremely sensitive.
A: 哦对了，政治问题不能随便问! 不过……咱俩都这么铁了，你就告诉我嘛!
B: Haha, I'm a moderate voter, I will vote for whoever with the best policy for my country. But...remember don't ask other people such questions, you might offend them without even realizing it!
托福独立口语题库答题解析：做事情
Doing Things 做事情
1. 27 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析：
这个statement里面的限定词是sometimes。应该同意这个观点。[63]可以作为[27]的理由之一，因为，Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future。这道题甚至可以作为[43]的答案。Most successful people have one thing in common: they are capable of doing things that they virtually do not enjoy doing.
27、同意人们有时候要做自己不喜欢作的事情
(1)谋生的需要，很多农民到城市来打工，自己不喜欢，但是必须这样做
(2)个人发展的需要，比如说学习数学，物理等等，虽然不喜欢，但是这和未来个人发展很有帮助
(3)在紧急时刻，必须要做自己不喜欢作的事情，比如说好友得了癌症，自己不能告诉他
2.50 Some people like to do only what they a already do well.Other people prefer to try new things and take risks.Which do you prefer?Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
参考分享：讨论两种attitudes各自的好处。然后再不同的情况下，选择不同的态度。比如：
锻炼身体有很多种方法，如果我已经习惯了慢跑，只要能够达到身体健康的目的，就不必要花时间练习一些其他的体育项目了。
放松的时间可以听听音乐--往往是同一首歌或曲子已经听了很多年。但是看电影，却很难做到重复看同一个电影几百遍。
50、我选择做一些新的事情和冒险
(1)做新的事情和冒险对自己是一个挑战。感受这个过程能够让人变得更成熟。
(2)做新的事情和冒险能够学习新的东西，丰富自己的知识。
(3)做新的事情和冒险可以结识更多的朋友。
