經(jīng)歷了數(shù)日的霧霾籠罩后，3月10號的北京天氣格外好，強勁的北風將天空吹得锃明瓦亮?！跋Ｍ裉爝\氣會不錯！”我這樣祝福著自己和其他“同?！眰儯?BR> 口語
7點30 分左右，經(jīng)歷了兩個半小時的緊張戰(zhàn)斗，終于到了10分鐘的強制性Break。在洗手間洗了洗臉，頭腦清醒了許多。一想到一會兒還要再鏖戰(zhàn)近2小時，我開始懷疑ETS是在故意把托福變成一種體力活，以此來檢驗大家到美國之后的生存能力。也許他們是對的。
記得在哥大讀研的一個學期，我擔任一門自己也沒有學過的公共政策課程的助教，同時又有幾門大課要選。在三個月里，經(jīng)常是剛上完12：00點到凌晨4：00點的“早自習”，睡幾個小時又要上第二天上午的課。而半夜里圖書館也很熱鬧，夜戰(zhàn)的人很多，有時Computer Room居然找不到位子。我的幾個學化學和建筑的朋友更加玩命。因此，奉勸計劃到國外讀書的同學們在國內(nèi)抓緊鍛煉身體吧。
7點40分，重新走進考場，這時離開始時間還有一分鐘，我聽到有幾個同學已在做Speaking部分的題了， 因此也大致了解了將考的口語題的內(nèi)容。因為口語部分有聽力材料，我重新戴上耳機，仍感到周圍的答題聲干擾比較大，就急中生智，迅速把耳機音量放大-----整個世界清凈多了！
口語部分從內(nèi)容到形式都是No Surprise。
第一題要求Choose an important invention since the 20th century and talk about how it affected your life.
第二題是Discuss if college education is necessary for one’s successful career.
第三題要求先讀一份學校computer lab雇傭student worker政策變化的Statement, 然后是男女兩人的評論對話，要求概括對話主角男生的觀點和他的理由。(To ensure the quality of students working in the computer lab, the new policy requires that only the students taking introductory computer courses can work there. But the male student holds that it does not work. A requirement on the grades is also needed. In addition, a student worker can only deal with some minor issues. When some problems such as computer viruses occur, a professional technician is still necessary. )
第四題是關(guān)于Political Economy中的“外部性”問題。(“Positive externality” can be simply referred to as a situation in which people without direct dealings with a company benefit from its activities. Sometimes, the government should assist a business company to make “positive externality” possible. For example, a local government may financially assist a bus company to buy new buses causing less air pollution so that the average residents in that area will enjoy cleaner air.) 本題要求應用講座材料解釋 “外部性”的概念。
第五題是二人對話。 (The male student tells the female student that he's often been late for a psychology class whose instructor is his favorite professor because he takes a job on night shift. The female student suggests that he change his job but he does not want to do that because he is well-paid for his current job to cover his daily expenditures. But he has another option which is to switch to a different class with the same course content but a different professor. Which option should the male student take? )
第六題的學術(shù)講座是關(guān)于 photographers' change of attitudes toward industrialism in the 19th and 20th century.
口語部分的六題都不出學術(shù)和校園生活兩方面，但加入了閱讀和聽力的要求，考察的是運用英語的綜合能力。由于準備和答題時間都比較少，平時的針對性強化訓練就顯得重要了。
