学校的生活是单纯并且美好的，但是也会出现两难的抉择的情况。比如你要去参加一个颁奖典礼但是在同一时间，有一场考试，你会怎么选择呢?本次前程百利小编就和大家来分享一下这类托福口语题目中经常会使用的词汇，希望可以帮助大家扩充托福词汇量!
Listen to a conversation between two students.
(man) Hey, Madison, what’s wrong?
(woman) Oh, I’m just struggling about what to do? I won an award from the Pacific Journalism Institute for an article I submitted, and…
(man) Doesn’t sound like anything’s wrong.
(woman) Well, it’s a huge honor to win and there’s an award ceremony they’ve invited me to attend which I am super excited about. But, and here’s what’s frustrating, I’ve got a philosophy exam that scheduled to end right when the ceremony begins.
(man) Uh oh! You’re saying you’ll just be finishing up taking the exam right when the ceremony starts?
(woman) Exactly!
(man) But those ceremonies never start on time, they give long introductions, you know, after a general speech or something before they ever get to handing out awards.
I’m sure they won’t be ready to hand out your award right at the beginning. Just go when you’re done with the test. You won’t miss anything important.
(woman) Maybe, but that’s a bit risky. I don’t want to miss being there when they announce my name.
(man) Well, have you talked to you r professor about this?
(woman) Dr. Forester? No.
(man) Maybe she’ll let you take the test some other time.
(woman) True. She lets people reschedule exams sometimes. But she always make them take it a couple of days early, that’ll mean less studying time for me which I’m not thrilled about.
(man) Less time to study, Oh!
(woman) Like I said, I’m still struggling about what to do.
