2025年6月21日上午 | 托福口语考题

Some people like to organize and plan parties or other social events. Others prefer not to organize parties and would rather simply attend events that they have been invited to. Which way do you prefer and why?

译文：

一些人喜欢组织和策划派对或其他社交活动。另一些人则不喜欢组织派对，更愿意仅仅参加他们被邀请的活动。你更喜欢哪种方式，为什么？

这个题目也是之前考过的旧题，重复了2024年8月21日和2020年8月16日的考题。“旧题重复率高”一直是托福口语Task1的特点之一，所以大家平时准备Task1的过程中，优先用最近1-2年的真题进行练习，更有针对性，没准就能压中原题哦~

选择“不组织社交活动，而只是参加这些活动”

思路解析：从 “结合个人实际（例如学习忙等）” 和 “减轻压力” 两个方面阐述参加他人组织活动的优点。

理由一：我个人学习比较忙，而组织活动耗时耗力，会影响我的学习。

理由二：不用承担组织活动的压力，如策划、预算和可能出现的突发问题，能轻松享受社交。

As for me, I’d rather simply attend events that I've been invited to.
To begin with, I have a hectic schedule. For example, currently, I have to deal with a bunch of different tasks such as writing papers, doing presentations, studying for exams, and so on. Organizing an event is quite time-consumingand energy-consuming, so I may not be able to focus on my study.

In addition, it relieves me of the stress associated with organizing these events. You know, organizing an activity involves a lot of pressure, from coming up with a plan, managing the budget, to dealing with unexpected issues. By contrast, by just attending, I can relax and focus on having fun.

高能高分表达：

have a hectic schedule 有一个非常忙的日程

a bunch of 一堆/帮/束…

time-consuming and energy-consuming 耗时耗力的

relieve sb of sth 使某人摆脱某事

associated with 与…… 相关

come up with 想出

deal with unexpected issues 处理突发问题

选择“更喜欢组织社交活动”

思路解析：从 “提升能力” 和 “交到更多朋友” 两个角度阐述组织活动的好处。

理由一：组织派对能锻炼个人的创造力和组织能力，从活动主题到流程安排，我都需要努力思考。

理由二：在组织过程中，我会跟更多人有更深入的交流和接触，拓宽自己的人脉。

From my perspective, I much prefer to organize and plan parties or social events.
Firstly, it serves as a good opportunity for me to develop creativity and organizational skills. This is because during this process, I need to think hard about various things, like the theme and the schedule, and organize all the procedures well. I believe this experience will have a positive influence on me and help me to become well-rounded.

Additionally, when organizing these events, I get to know more people better than when I just attend such events, because I need to ask them about their preferences or schedules, so that I can build stronger bonds with different participants and form life-long connections with them, enabling me to enlarge my social circles.

高能高分表达：

…serve as a good opportunity for me to… …是一个好机会让我…

think hard about 努力思考…

have a positive influence on 对…有积极影响

well-rounded adj.全面发展的

build stronger bonds with 和…建立更强的纽带

form life-long connections with 和…建立一辈子的人脉

enlarge my social circles 拓宽我的社交圈

选择中立，即根据活动类型灵活选择

情况一：如果是非常重要的活动，例如亲友生日等，我会选择主动组织策划

情况二：如果是普通的聚会，我更倾向于作为参与者而非组织者

As for me, it depends on the specific occasion.

When it comes to some really important events like my parents’ or best friend’s birthday, I would choose to take charge of planning. I would put a lot of time and effort into it to ensure perfection. For example, last year, together with my sister, I organized a surprise birthday party for my mother. She was on top of the world.

However, for some casual gatherings, I would just participate. For example, sometimes, my friends would invite me to a picnic outdoors; as a social butterfly, I would be happy to join them, but I don’t need to plan or organize the activity because they have already taken care of it.

高能高分表达：

depend on 要看…

When it comes to 当谈到…

take charge of 负责；承担责任并掌控某事

put a lot of time and effort into 投入大量时间和努力到…中

on top of the world 开心至极
