2021年全年托福口语考情盘点——独立口语

今年的托福考试比往年增加了不少场次，到目前为止已经有69场。老规矩，今天我们就来盘点下这一整年托福口语的情况。

首先来看看独立口语的部分：

一、独立口语新旧比例

01、旧题占比超过一半

毕竟考试场次增多了，而研发新题需要不少成本，所以重复旧题也是正常的。

02、重复最多的是2018年的考题

03、重复当年线下场的考题4次

2021.09.05 重复了2021年8月12日在家考的题目。

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is less important now for schools to teach young people to do math in their heads because of the availability of new technology that can do it for them.

2021.10.13 是年初1月10日的原题重现。

Some people think only secondary school students should go to college while others think all the students could go to college. What is your opinion and why? Please give specific details to support your opinion.

当年重复三次 的题目 分别今年的04.24 /07.04 /09.19

Your school is now having a financial problem and is now considering cutting some student clubs. Which of the following clubs do you think your school should cut: 1. Sports clubs like the hiking club 2.Non-Sports clubs like the speech and debate club

04、重复当年在家考的原题1次

二、独立口语话题占比

01、教育类话题依旧独占鳌头

02、个人生活方式的话题占比增加

个人生活方式话题超过了人际关系类话题跃居第二位。

03、工作话题的占比增加

以往工作类的话题每年也就3题左右，但是今年出现了10题。

三、各个话题分析

01、课程设置

和课程设置有关的题目是教育类题目中最高频的。

比较常见的是询问考生对于某些课程是否必要的看法，以往考过的有：

是否该强制学生通过体能考试才能毕业？

是否全体大一学生要上写作课？

是否全体大学生都要学高等数学？

今年考到的题目如下：

（2021. 11.21）

Agree or disagree: High school students should take music and art classes? （重复2018年旧题）。 

也有询问学生喜欢何种考评方式的，比如：（2021.03.10）

If some students have not received enough credits because they failed previous exams, they should be given an additional assignment by their professors to make up credits. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? (新题)。

02、教学方式

教学方式也是教育类的热门。往年常考的有：

你喜欢线上教学还是线下教学？

你喜欢传统的学校还是家庭教学？

今年考到的有：

（2021.03.14）

Do you agree or disagree that teachers should encourage students to have class discussion during class? Give specific reasons and details in your response.

03、科技与教育

所谓的科技类话题，其实考的是大家如何看待科技在教育中的利弊，用大白话说就是手机和网络到底要不要管控？比如：

Do you agree or disagree that teachers should encourage students to have class discussion during class? Give specific reasons and details in your response. 

这道题在今年的8月，9月都相继考到，在去年和2018年也考过，算是很老生常谈的题目了。看来这不仅是中国的家长和老师的烦恼，而是全世界老母亲和老师们的烦恼。

04、行政与教育

行政类的题目和学生的主人翁精神有关。有一道就是往年考过，今年也考了三次的题目：

Your university plans to reduce expenditure recently, which clubs do you think the university should stop funding? Sports clubs like skiing clubs, or academic clubs like math club? 

今年的新题中有一道比较有意思的题目：（2021.11.27）

Do you think university policy should be made by the administrators or by votes from students?

05、抽象的难题

今年还有几道比较抽象的难题，和教育公平度和重要性有关的题目，比如今年1月和10月都考到的这道题目：

Some people think only secondary school students should go to college. While others think all the students could go to college. What is your opinion and why? Please give specific details to support your opinion. 

以及10月16日的这道：

Do you agree or disagree: University education is more important today than in the past.

个人生活类

个人生活类题目有一个特征，就是90%题目的问法都是：Which one do you prefer? 而不是同意与否。经常考的是和旅行，娱乐活动，决策方式，个人习惯等有关的题目。

比如

（2021.06.05）

Some people like to take a vacation in a big city, while others prefer to go to the countryside. Which do you prefer?

（2021.10.09）

Some people like to attend a live performance or live sporting event, while others prefer to stay at home and watch it on TV or other electronic devices. Which do you prefer?

（2021.12.11）

Do you prefer to go to the gym when you are free or on a daily basis?

（2021.11.20）

When learning to use a new product, some people prefer to read the instruction manual. Others prefer to figure out how to use the product on their own. Which do you prefer and why?

工作类

正如前文所说，工作类话题的占比今年有明显增加。其中有往年考过的一些常规的旧题，比如关于工作平台：

你喜欢大公司还是小公司？或者和工作效率有关，比如你喜欢早上开始工作还是下午开始工作？你喜欢同时做好几件事情还是单线处理？

也有一些新的题目，其中不乏一些需要深度思考的题目，比如这道题考查的是你对企业道德的看法：

Some companies are controversial and criticized for their business practices. Do you think it is acceptable for people to take jobs at such companies, even if the jobs pay well? Explain why or why not? 

以及这题：

Some companies are controversial and criticized for their business practices. Do you think it is acceptable for people to take jobs at such companies, even if the jobs pay well? Explain why or why not? 

考查的是大家对于工作和幸福感关联的看法。
