Task1是一道歡樂三選一：學校拿錢研究啥?天氣預測，清潔河水，太空研究。這道題三個方向都專業(yè)性比較強，不是很好說。相比之下，環(huán)境保護是比較好說的。所以推薦選第二個，理由一：Water pollution are harmful to people`s health and
fresh water are limited resource on earth.理由二：Method to clean water in the past are very costly and quite ineffective。
解題分析
本題是一道新題，屬于“三選一 object”類別
新托福口語參考范文一:
I think the money should go to the research for an effective way to clean the rivers and the ocean because water pollution is one of the most pressing problems of our time. People rely on the rivers for drink water and they get sick and sometimes develop cancer when the water is not clean or is polluted by harmful chemicals from factories. We also dump a lot of garbage into the ocean and sometimes oil spills cause big disasters to marine life. If we could have a way to clean up water pollution, both human life and animal life would benefit a lot.

If the university is serious about the money, I think they’d better spend the money on researching the effective methods to clean the water resources, because people’s lives depend on it. Right now, the water pollution is a serious problem facing the globe. The drinkable water is polluted by factory wastes and the ocean is polluted by the oil rigs. This is an emergency needs to be dealt with immediately, so the university should make full use of the money and educate the students the importance of protecting the water resources and those sea animals. If we still sit there and doing nothing, I think the last drop of water we can see will be human’s tear.
