托福口语task3是从阅读和听力两方面来考察学生的能力的，但是都相对比较简单，学生的得分率也比较高!听力中主要是学校的公告或者学生对于某项学校的公告的意见，一般会有两个原因来支撑论点。听力中是两个学生展开的对话。其中一个学生的观点很强烈并且会给出两个理由来支持自己的观点。在这种题目中并不需要学生表达自己的倾向。学生的态度和观点是记录的要点。本次前程百利小编将以一篇task为例，为大家分析一下在这类题型中，经常出现的词汇，希望这则托福口语备考建议可以帮助大家解题。
Reading Part:
History Seminars Should Be Shorter
Currently, all of the seminar classes in the history department are three hours long. I would like to propose that history seminars be shortened to two hours. I make this proposal for two reasons First, most students just cannot concentrate for three hours straight.I ，myself have taken these three-hour seminars and found them tiring and sometimes boring. Also, when a seminar lasts that long, people stop concentrating and stop learning, so the third hour of a three-hour seminar is a waste of every one's time. Two-hour seminars would be much more efficient.
Listening Part:
Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
(woman) I totally disagree with Tim’s proposal.
(man) Why?
(woman) Well, look, Tim’s my friend but he’s not your typical student. He stays up late partying every night, week nights, too.
(man) If he parties every night no wonder he can’t pay attention.
(woman) Yes, and most students aren’t like that. They come to class prepared and rested and they can concentrate.
(man) So, you’re saying that problem is really Tim.
(woman) Yes. He was in one of my classes last year and whenever I looked at him he was actually sleeping.
(man) I guess if he was sleeping, he can’t really know what’s happening, what other people in class are doing.
(woman) Right! And you want to know what does happen in that last hour of seminar? In a lot of seminars that I’ve been in, that’s when things get interesting.
(man) Really?
(woman) Yes, that’s usually when students get really involved in the discussion and start exchanging important ideas, and if the History department actually did what Tim suggests, well if they did that, what would happen is you’d lose what might be the most worthwhile part of the seminar.
Question:
The woman expresses her opinion about the proposal that her friend Tim made in his letter to the newspaper. State her opinion about his proposal and explain the reason she gives for her opinion.
