新托福口语2.7面试题真题解析
1.What kind of movies do your family or friends generally like to watch? For example, do they prefer action movies, comedies, dramas, or other types?I prefer to watch comedies.First off, it is more relaxing. Nowadays, people are facing overwhelming tasks, leading to much pressure. Therefore, they would love to watch something easy and hilarious if they have the choice. The laughable dialogues and actions in the comedies allow viewers to put aside their stress and immerse in the movies, which is a total relief for them.Second, comedies have a larger audience. This is because compared to other types, comedies is suitable for all ages since they don't include some bloody scenes or dirty words. It is going to be pretty awkward if all families sit together in front of the screen and watch some gangster movies. 2.When you watch a movie, do you prefer to watch after work or school on weekdays or do you like to watch during the weekends? Why?I prefer to watch during the weekends.First, we could stay focused. This is because on weekdays, we may need to finish our work after the film or we may have an exam tomorrow, both of the situations distract us. However, it is not the same story during the weekend since we enjoy more free time. Second, it is more fun. This is because our families and friends are available during the weekend, so asking them out for a date would be easy. Then, we can do some talking before and after the movie. By sharing our feelings and thoughts, the process becomes more engaging. 3.Next, l'd like to get your opinion. In the past, people mostly watched movies in theaters. Today, many people watch movies at home. Do you think that movie theaters will continue to exist in the future? Why or why not?I don't think cinema is going to exist in the future.To start with, watcing movies at home is more convenient. This is because we are able to pause if we go to the toilet, to eat whatever we like and share our thoughts with others during the process. All of these things make the movie-watching more fun. Plus, it is money-saving. Apparently, we save some money if we don't have to buy film tickets. Besides, online video streaming websites enable us to watch movies with better sound quality and picture effects. Last but not least, larger tv sets offer a more immersive watching experience. 4.Some people believe that movies can be a powerful tool for educating people and raising awareness about important issues. Do you agree with this idea, or do you think there are other, more effective ways to educate people?I hold a negative view towards this statement. Reading books is more effective.First, it is more systemic. This is because movies only last for 90 minutes, which means they can't unfold the whole picture. On the contrary, readers spend dozens of hours on books. They are able to learn about all the aspects of the issue. Second, books are based on facts while movies contain fictional elements. This is because movies need to do some modifications in order to realize its artistic purposes. If we take it as a way to spread some information, it is going to be misleading for sure.
