问题 You will now listen to a conversation. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
Question: The speaking discusses two possible solutions to the man’s problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.
W: Jeff! Long time no see! But why are you so unhappy?
M: No big deal, I guess. Just it’s annoying.
W: What’s annoying?
M: My best buddy Sam just moved into a new house and I wanted to get him a housewarming present. I figured a book case would be a great idea, because he reads a lot and the new house has so much space. So I bought one and tried to put it together, but the problem is there were some parts missing.
W: OK, I see. How about taking it back to the store and getting another one?
M: But they said it would take a few days before they could get a new one. I guess they had sold it out. I need to get it now. I cannot go to the housewarming party without a gift.
W: I see your problem. Then try this. You could get your money back from the first store. And you could go to another shop to buy him something other than a book case.
M: That’s not a bad idea. But then I’d have to spend extra money and blow my budget.
W: Sam, you can either have money or have friends. You can’t always have both.
M: I guess I’ll just try your first idea. Maybe...

答案 The student faces a problem that his best friend has just moved to a new house and the man wants to buy him a housewarming gift, a bookcase. The gift is to be presented at a party in the friend’s new home. Unfortunately, the bookcase the man bought has missing pieces.
His friend suggests him change another bookcase. Another solution is to return the bookcase and get the money back from the first store to buy something else for his friend.
Personally speaking, I think it is better to take the money back and buy a different gift, because the store currently has sold out the bookcase: the new product will be delivered to the store two weeks from now. The man would be seen as uncaring or even rude if he comes without a gift. So I believe taking the time and money to buy a good-quality present in time for the party can prove the man cares about their friendship.

解析     Task 5的重点是学生遇到的困难跟解决的途径。具体到这道题,Sam的问题是他订购的书架缺少零件,所以不能按计划将此礼物送给朋友。重点在于如何fix the problem,而不是解释原因。开头段可简单介绍原因:“The student faces a problem that his best friend has just moved to a new house and the man wants to buy him a housewarming gift,a bookcase.”但是,“Unfortunately, the bookcase the man bought has missing pieces.”
