托福黄金口语80题_如何破解托福口语第五题
一、题目介绍
本题的校园情景对话涉及大学生活中会遇到的各种问题。这些问题很可能会引起我们的共鸣，因此内容不难理解，且没有阅读文章，只需要听一段对话即可。
对话中的一个学生会遇到诸如课程安排冲突、得不到想要的资料、学生选举、手头拮据等问题。另一个学生会给出两个解决方案。而第五题的问题则要求考生复述学生的问题和解决方案，然后选出自己认为的最佳方案，并给出两个理由。
二、例题讲解
我们以2012年12月8日托福口语第五题为例来看一下如何解答这类题目。
W: Hey Colin, you look so down. What"s up?
M: Band problems again. We’ve got to practice, but it’s hard to find a place where you can have three guys playing electric guitars.
W: The Music Department has a great studio that’d be ideal. Why not rent that?
M: You just said why: rent. Sure the studio’s great. But we need to practice every day, maybe two hours. There’s no way we can afford the rent.
W: Why not talk to Professor Garcia? You know, the department chairman. He’s a rock lover. I bet he’d let you use the music building for free.
M: We’ve been looking into that. It is free, which is great. But we can’t use the building during the day. We can only use it in the evening before 10:00 p.m. That’s not a lot of time.
W: But it is free, and it’s a lot better than nothing. Besides, they say you artistes ought to suffer for your art, don’t they?
M: Courtney, you"re really not helping.
1. 解题步骤
第一步我们要做的就是听对话、记重点。注意，除了听problem和solutions之外，一定要留意学生对解决方案的态度，这些会帮助我们找到理由来支持自己的观点。笔记如下：
Problem:
M: band×place练music
Solutions:
(1) rent studio
(2) use music dept
Best choice:
2nd√
(1) rent studio ↑$, ×afford
(2) music dept free
hr→练limit b4 10 p.m., but place→练→hr/d
good enough
better>nothing
答题时需谈及自己认为最佳的解决方案并给出理由。20秒钟的准备时间至关重要，这时候 要思考用什么理由来支持自己的观点。如果情急之下想不出自己的理由，可引用学生的对话来支持自己的观点。如：
Personally speaking, I think the second solution is better because renting a studio costs money. The man and his band cannot afford it.
And also I think playing in the Music Department is free. And he can practice at least for few hours. It"s better than
