不知不觉6月已经过了一半，这两周在我们LAB这里进行在家考的同学，也都成功完成考试，过程超顺利，中间没有卡顿没有被打断也没有断线。
Some people prefer technology for certain activities such as shopping and banking. Others prefer human interaction instead. Which one do you like? Please use details and examples to explain your answer.
Do you agree or disagree that robots are going to replace human beings to do work in the future? Use specific details and examples to support your answer.
也有范围比较小的，比如 “你喜欢用洗碗机还是喜欢用手洗碗”，
Some people like to wash the dishes using the dishwasher. Others prefer to wash the dishes by hand. Which do you prefer and why?
对 6.18 考试的这道题来说，略有点不同，是 technology 还是 human interaction，更多是从 customer 的角度来考虑。
可以说更方便阿，比如有些超市可以自己通过机器查商品价格，这样就不用特地去找一个售货员去问；也省时间，比如如果你去银行打印一些账单或者证明什么的，不用排很久的队，去窗口那里处理，可以直接去机器那里打印下就好。
可以说 technology 不是很方便，只有些基本的查询功能，像价格等等，但比较具体些的只有人才能回答，比如去超市买食材的的时候想要问食材的做法或者买电器问注意事项。另外 technology 没有 human interaction 来得有帮助，比如查商品位置的时候，机器会告诉你在几层几货架，但是你可能还是不了解，但是如果问售货员，他可能会带你去。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Talented children should be treated and educated in a different way.Please explain why in details and examples in your answer.
如果支持，就说他们分开接受教育可能能够更好发挥自己的潜能，另外对其他 regular kids 来说也比较好，压力不会那么大；
如果反对，可以说分开教育对这些 talented children 的其他能力培养可能不好，比如与同龄人的社交能力和沟通能力等等；另外一起学习也可以 inspire 其他的孩子。
配合音频来看个Quora的回答，顺带积累些可以用的语料～
“ I really, really wish they would be taught separately. It would be more beneficial for everyone.
I’m a gifted student. I’ve mentioned this on several other answers I have made in the giftedness topic, but I’ll say it again, for reference. I took a gifted test in 3rd grade and averaged a score of the 99th percentile on each component of the test.
I find school to be immeasurably boring. Each class is simply too easy.
None of them are particularly engaging to me
, and it has been this way since I was in kindergarten, when my peers were just learning how to read, and I could already read and write quite well.
I’m not challenged
in any of my classes
, and though this makes everything very easy for me, I do know it will be detrimental to me later in life, when I will be forced to study for exams, and I will find it nearly impossible.
Schools design their classrooms to be “equal”. This means putting slower kids in with faster kids, to make everything non-discriminatory. This system is bad for everyone.
The kids who need more time to absorb things cannot keep up with the faster kids, and the faster kids are dragged backwards with the slower ones.
Forget about placating everyone and their sensitive feelings. It’s more important to have an effective education system than an equal one, isn’t it?
Gifted kids have a capacity to learn faster and absorb information much more quickly than non-gifted kids.
They also have the capacity to understand topics on a much deeper level than others. If they were taught separately, they would be more challenged within their peer groups and work harder. They would be more interested in school and learning, and many would stop underachieving, as their competitive streaks came out.
Naturally, there are different types of giftedness, ranging from academic to creative to physical. It’s mostly the academic kids who would need special classrooms, but creatively and physically gifted students could be given more ample opportunities to explore their gifts as well. This would
allow gifted students to more fully reach their potentials instead of wasting away in the traditional
useless
classroom.
Of course, this is all ideal, and the world is not ideal. [ 如果反对，可以说不现实：
Hardly anyone has the time, the resources, the patience, or the motivation to create such an environment for gifted students
]
, and this is a regrettable but unavoidable consequence of living in a world where we must cater to the majority. ”
Originally Answered by April Astoria on Quora: Should gifted students be taught separately?
Some people prefer to communicate with the group members online when working on a group project. Others prefer to do the project with the group members face to face. Which one do you think is better?
老话题了，考过面试的、做作业的、公司开会的、老师给feedback的等等。
去年9月21日下午场就考过个差不多构思的，当时还说这题每年都考… 今年就又考了…
看吧，考的都是旧题，所以也能看到在家考难度没有什么偏差。好好把往年口语真题练好，就什么都没问题！
再来个2019 全年口语总结及题目：2019 TOEFL 口语年终总结
最后…
在目前线下考试不是特别明朗的时候，托福在家考肯定是最优的选择。LAB有官方标准的全套在家考设备，考试场地可供预订，免费对所有LAB学员开放。
需要的同学，直接联系所在班级任意一位老师就可以了哦。
