2017年12月16日托福口语真题回忆及解析

　　先来回忆一下最近几期口语真题

　　Task 1

　　What is the best background for a government leader? Military, Business or Law

　　这道题前不久考过一个比较相似的题目，三选一里面至少商人是高频话题，建议大家一定要准备的。其他两个大家酌情考虑。

　　Sample Answer:

　　Well, I guess military background could be a very competitive feature for a government leader. First, I think the base of a country is safety. If a country is invaded by other countries and people are killed without mercy, then it’s the end of the country, no mention the government. So with military background, the leader knows how to protect the citizens and thus ensure their happiness. Second, it’s essential for the leader to keep the military power in hands. If he assigns others to manage the army, they could try to take over his power and commit treason, which is pretty dangerous. So I think the leader should know about military.

　　Task2

　　同不同意现在比过去更难存到钱?

　　Is it harder to save money than it was in the past.

　　同意：的确很难存到钱，因为现在的物价太高，生活支出成本大，各种花钱的诱惑太多等;不同意：现在能挣更多钱，工作机会多，商机更多，比起收入，生活支出只是占用很小的一部分，另外很多工作单位会给员工很好的福利，比如住房，餐厅等，所以总体来说是能存到更多的钱。

　　Sample Answer:

　　I think it's really difficult to save money. Firstly, living expenses are extremely high compared to 20 years ago. I rent an apartment nearby my company in Beijing which costs me about 2000 dollars per month. And it is up to 50% of my salary. In addition, I have to pay for transportation, meals and mobile phone. Secondly, the advertisements allure us to spend more money on the things we don't need. Take myself for example, I buy a new iphone when a new version is released. Just recently, I bought an iphone X, then my current account balance became in deficit.
