4、Task 2: Do you agree or disagree that it is important to learn about the history of the city you stay in?

　　問：你是否同意了解你所在的城市的歷史十分重要?

　　點(diǎn)評：偷偷告訴你，托福君并不是很同意，因?yàn)橥懈＞莻€歷史白癡。但是，這并不妨礙托福君理直氣壯地說了解歷史非常之重要。古語說得好，以銅為鏡,可以正衣冠; 以史為鏡,可以知興替; 以人為鏡,可以知得失?？偠灾?，言而總之，歷史很重要。

　　示例：Well, I think it is very important to know about the history of the city you live in, for one thing, you can appreciate the history of the city. For example, I learned the history of Beijing when I first settled in this city, and every time I visit the famous historic and cultural sites,they are presented very vividly in my eyes.

　　And for another, you can be a tour guide for your friends. If they come to your city and want to visit the summer palace, they don’t have to hire a professional guide because you can do the job, and that will certainly impress your friends. (110詞)

　　5、(2018.1.13)Task 1：Nowadays, teachers tend to give students group assignment but not individual assignment. Discuss an advantage and a disadvantage of this tendency.

　　問：現(xiàn)在教師傾向于給學(xué)生留小組作業(yè)，而不是個人作業(yè)。請說出小組作業(yè)的一個好處和一個壞處。

　　點(diǎn)評：這個問題也不難，好處就是大家一起做作業(yè)，男女搭配，干活不累。既培養(yǎng)了團(tuán)隊精神，又增加了溝通技巧。壞處揍是有人會偷懶呀，自己不干活，不進(jìn)步，浪費(fèi)時間有沒有?

　　示范：In my opinion, the advantage of group assignment for students lies in that they can tackle problems as a team and by the way develop team spirit and communication skills, which are crucial to their future study and work.

　　And the disadvantage of group assignment, i suppose, is that some students in the group may be very active and motivated to be a leading role in the group while others may become lazy and relaying on the active ones to do the whole work.

　　In this situation, the active students may benefit the most, but the not-so-active-students may get nothing and waste a lot of time on a group assignment. (113詞)

　　6、Task 2： When you disagree with your friends and family on some controversial issues, would you choose to convince them or just keep the disagreements?

　　問：你跟你的朋友親人有爭論的時候，你會選擇說服他們還是選擇保留爭議?

　　點(diǎn)評：托福君這么懶的人，當(dāng)然是懶得跟別人爭論什么道理啦。只要不是大是大非，別人說什么我也會說：嗯，你說的也有道理!你好我好大家好咯。

　　示例： Well, I would definitely keep the disagreement as it is. Honestly, it is quite natural to have different opinions on different things, and this is a good thing actually, because we don’t want to be exactly identical with others. So if we have an disagreement, especially on something that cannot be simply classified as right or wrong, I mean, sometimes there is no absolute right or wrong about something, then we can just let it go.

　　Besides, some people are just stubborn enough not to be persuaded, and if we keep arguing, it might hurt feelings, which I think is not worthy.(104詞)
