2020年10月31号托福口语TASK1
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Employees shouldn't’t send personal texts or emails during work hours. Explain why. （重复19年8月24日考题）
员工不应该在工作时间发私人短信或邮件，你赞成还是不赞成？
分析：
Agree—personal texts or emails are distracting没必要的私人聊天会很干扰，闲聊不是一句两句就能停止的，而且这些信息对工作没有帮助。甚至会让员工不能集中精神来完成工作，很容易出错，影响工作进度。
Disagree—员工的工作时间不应完全被占用，一些娱乐也应该被允许。适当的私人信件可以让员工放松，有个愉快的心情来应对工作。What’s more, 有时候有些私人紧急状况需要处理，像家人的事情等。
相关表达：
Unnecessary conversations
Constructive information
Work schedule
Fully occupied
Feel refreshed/get recharged
Deal with emergency

写作部分
综合写作：
阅读文章论点：The white Orca seen near the Russian iceberg and the one found in Alaska are two different whales.
分论点：
1. Difference in colors
2. Long distance separating the sites where they were observed
3. Scientists have calculated the age of one orca by measuring the size of its fin. Their findings reveal that in 2000, the fin of the orca indicated it was 20 years old. However, another measurement of the fin in 2010 suggests that the whale was still 20 years old instead of 30. Thereby they must be two different whales.
听力反驳：
1. 文章中提出的颜色差异这一论据，其实是由于鲸鱼身上会被海藻覆盖，由于不同季节海草覆盖程度不一样，所以解释颜色差异这一说法，从而削弱了阅读文章的第一个分论点。
2. 虎鲸捕食时跟着鱼群一起游动，因此文章提出的“观测地点之间长距离“并不能否定它们是同一只鲸鱼。
3. 虎鲸的fin在20岁之后就会停止生长，因此两次对fin的测量都显示它年龄是20岁，因此文章提出的论据无法佐证这不是同一只鲸鱼。
独立写作：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
All university students should take basic science courses regardless of their fields of study.
本次独立写作题目并非新题，而是曾在2015/1/10考试中出现的老题目。以赞成方为例，可参考的分论点有
立论段：
①Science is the very foundation and pillar for modern society. Inadequate knowledge of basic science is almost tantamount （adj.等同于）to illiteracy amid today’s fierce academic competition, thereby justifying the request for all university students to participate in basic science courses.
②Taking science courses fosters （v.培养） and hones （v.磨砺） essential thinking skills that benefits students of all disciplines （n.学科）. Logical thinking, critical thinking, analytical and deductive reasoning skills are derived from science courses.
③Respectable personal qualities （n.品格） are cultivated through learning science, to name a few —— curiosity, skepticism （n.怀疑精神）, the pursuit of scientific truth (追求科学真理), rigorous (adj.严密的) and meticulous （adj.一丝不苟的） scientific attitude （n.科学精神）.
让步段：
Despite all the indisputable benefits of basic science courses, it is arbitrary (adj.武断的) and unreasonable to mandate university students to engage in such courses without taking their majors into account. The most compelling counter-argument of the presented view could be found in almost every university, where the faculty （n.高校的院系） is divided into different departments corresponding to various fields of study, among which there are Natural Science Department （n.自然科学） and Department of Humanities （n.人文科）. While a student majoring in physics or chemistry would undoubtedly benefit immensely from learning basic science, it is difficult to imagine why a student of music or literature would find such courses particularly illuminating or serve any practical purpose.
参考表述：
1、discipline n.学科
2、mandatory adj.强制性的
3、academic competition phrase.学术竞争
4、fosters (v.培养) and hones (v.磨砺) essential thinking skills
5、participate/engage in… v.参与
