考情回顾|2.27托福考情速递！口语

Because most students have their own laptops, your university is considering closing the campus computer lab, where students use university-owned computers. Do you think this is a good idea?

教授给学生布置了去博物馆参观一个埃及雕塑的 assignment，学生可以半价参加，但之后需要写论文，来加深所学到的知识。女生同意；因为书里面写的东西不够具体，实际directly 感受才能更好的让学生去理解雕塑内容；半价门票对学生很友好，因为之前的门票太贵学生 x afford it，但现在半价是个很好的机会。

以前中咖啡树的farmer会把这个树给砍掉，但后来他们又觉得这样对环境不好，因为一些migrating birds的种类会减少，于是他们就把咖啡种在树的旁边，这样就有好处。个好处呢，就是就是鸟的数量就上升了；第二个是那些trees其实可以protect the coffee，他们可以enchor the soil

professor提出了一个概念，关于planning，就是他觉得人们做plan的时候会有一些mistake；个mistake就是他们会高估自己的能力，会做一些超出自己能力的Plan，比如Beyond their expectations，所以他们实际情况会比他们plan会更长一点。第二个就是说他们会遇到一些interruption，因为这些interruptions，他们本来想做一个事情，结果会因为一个其他的interruption给打扰。例子是有一次他想要给学生review paper的，但是他的儿子突然发烧了，然后就不能去了。

阅读：Honeysuckle对当地生态的三个好处

1. 可以吸引动物来吃，然后传播当地植物的种子

2. 分泌物质去防止wildfire

3. 它的berries可以让迁徙的鸟儿得到补给

听力反驳：

1. honeysuckle长得很快，会挡住其他植物的阳光，让他们没法生存

2. wildfire实际上可以为土壤增加nutrition，比如nitrogen，这对生物多样性有好处。但honeysuckle的生长反而对此产生了不利影响

3. birds migration所需能量来自fat，而honeysuckle的berries里面不能提供大量油脂，因此鸟儿就没有足够的energy来度过long distances of flying

professor：This week we talked about how important taking time off formwork or school is for people's well-being. Some people believe they get the most benefit when that time off is structured: that is it involves planning in advance about what will be accomplished on that day. Others believe it is better to enjoy the day with no plan for how to spend it, In this discussion post please indicate which of those approaches to spending time off from work or school you prefer and why?

Kelly：I find it beneficial to do some advance planning for my free time. I live far away from my family so when I am getting ready to visit them during a school holiday, l always plan my time off from school very carefully. That way l have enough time to visit with each family member.

Paul：Personally, I prefer not to make any plans for my free time. I go to school, and l have a part-time job each week. I make a schedule to be sure l can complete both my work and my studies. So when l have time off from work and school, l just want to relax with no plan
