2012年4月28日托福考试出现的是一套北美题的拼盘，北京新东方托福研发组老师针对本次考试口语独立题做出的参考答案。

　　1. What is your favorite place to study? Give details and examples in your response. Begin your response after the beep.

　　My favorite place to study is in my bedroom. I have a nice desk with a comfortable chair, and if I need anything, I know where it is in my room. I don’t really like studying in the library, because it too quiet. Whenever anybody makes a noise, I can hear it very clearly and I automatically look up to see what it is. Working in the library is very distracting for me. Also, if I get hungry, they don’t let you eat in the library. If I’m studying in my bedroom, I can easily go downstairs and get a snack from the kitchen. In addition, if I have to study really late, the library always closes too early. If I work in my bedroom, I can stay up as late as I need to, without disturbing anybody.

　　2.Some people prefer a job which deals with the same tasks every day. Others prefer a job which deals with many different tasks. Which do you prefer and why?

　　I would prefer a job that has a little bit of variation. Sitting at a desk all day doing the same thing over and over again would bore me out of my mind. I can't imagine that that kind of job would the interesting at all. I think I am too intelligent to sit and do a mindless task all day. Also I think those jobs will be taken over by computers soon. I would rather have a job that requires me to go around and do lots of different things. Like teaching: Every day there is a new lesson and you never know how class is going to turn out. You have to be spontaneous in the classroom and I think I would prefer a job like that over any other type of job.
