小編： 411今天為大家帶來托福口語考試實例實戰分析與解析：共同交通與私家車，希望考生們以此作為參考，助力托福口語備考。
敘述者/Narrator：
“Public transportation should be encouraged instead of private cars.” Do you agree with this statement? Please give reasons for your answer.
With the improvement of living standards， some people can afford to buy their own cars. They drive to work or drive to the suburbs， enjoying the happy holidays. Yet， private cars can’t replace public transportation， such as buses or subways. Compared with private cars， buses and subways have several advantages. First， they are very cheap. A monthly ticket enables one to go from almost any part of the city to another by bus or subway. Second， the bus and subway schedules are well planned and seldom does one have to wait very long to catch them. Third， they have comfortable seats and some of them are air-conditioned. Therefore， public transportation should be encouraged.
詞匯與解析：
WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS
1. enable v. 使能夠
2. replace v. 取代， 替換
3. schedule n. 時間表
4. seldom adv. 很少， 不常
5. suburb n. 市郊，郊區
答案解析：
隨著生活水平的提高，一些人有能力購買汽車。私家車給人們的出行帶來了許多便利，但是否就可以認為它能取代公共交通工具了呢?參考答案的回答顯而易見：它不能代替公共交通。公共汽車和地鐵價格便宜，到站準時，還有舒適的座位，有些公交車還帶有空調，結論自然是應該鼓勵大力發展公共交通。
答案用詞簡潔，序數詞 first， second and third的使用清晰地說明了發展公共交通的三點好處，層次清楚。表示因果關系的副詞therefore自然而然地引導出結論。
當然，如果你贊成用私家車，也可以列出幾點理由。私家車可以帶家人和朋友外出度假，欣賞沿途的風景，時間、地點都很靈活;私家車還能使你免受惡劣天氣之苦。
總之，考生在聽到題目以后，要抓住主題，確定觀點，舉例說明，以理服人
