托福口语最初练习时，先写出草稿，然后对着念，看能否在45秒内完成。之后做调整，直到语速和长度都合适的时候，一定做模拟练习。拿到题目后，15秒来用构思框架和内容以及语言的组织，45秒作答。 Purpose of festivals and celebrationsQ： Why do you think festivals are important events in the working year?Answer：Yeah. It’s very important for two reasons.For the country， it’s a time to remember our cultural origin and our historical past.The whole country celebrates our root and it’s very inspiring.We become so proud of our past.I guess that’s why festivals are important.For the individual， festivals give us a chance for relaxation as we often have a few days off. It’s a time of fun， meeting friends， entertainment.So after that we feel like a new man.In a sense， holidays restore our balance between work and leisure.That’s also why we need festivals for China. Q： Would you agree that the original significance of festival is often lost today?  Answer：I think the original significance for festivals are to celebrate our tradition.It’s an end to the old year and the beginning of a new year. So it’s a connecting day.But today， people are so busy， they’re under so much pressure and they no longer feel the transition between the old and the new year. Some companies even ask their employees to come in on holidays. So many people begin to feel that festivals are just as common as the other days.People no longer take the opportunities of festivals to honor their tradition，but go shopping， go to restaurant to entertain instead.So I think tradition is out， consumption is in.Festivals provide people such an excuse to put down their work， to spend money and be extravagant (奢侈的)， and to meet people that they don’t have time for during the working year.So in this sense， even the original significance is lost， festivals are still exciting.
