解析：閱讀與對話綜合技能題是托福口語比較好拿分的項目，原因是無論閱讀文章還是聽力部分都絕對圍繞campuslife進行，沒有生詞是肯定的。在閱讀文章時，考生需要絕對明確的是，本版塊的閱讀文章是作為聽力對話的背景存在，所以，不需要進行密集型筆記。我們需要記下的只有學校即將產(chǎn)生的變化是什么，以及為了說服多數(shù)學生接受這種變化，學校找的借口是什么。聽力部分的對話才是筆記重點，考生需要標明的信息有：誰是主講？他/她持正向還是反向觀點？針對通知，該學生給出的兩條支持或反對的原因是什么。

下面我們來一起看看官方提供的高分樣板答案：

Whatthemanissayinghereisthat,um,hewantstokeepthebusserviceforthebetterbeingofallthestudentsinthecampus,becausethere’recertainstudentswhocannotaffordacar.Therefore,theyusethefreebusservice,eventhoughit’snotthatmuch.Theproblemwiththebusservicerightnowisthatthebusisgoingthroughwrongneighborhoodsorit’stooexpansiveforstudentstolive.Sowhattheyshoulddoisjustchangethecourseofthebusandthat’lltakecareoftheproblem.Also,theyshouldencouragethestudentstousethebusinsteadofdiscouragethemorwhatwereadinthecase,theyusethemoneyofthebusserviceincreasethespaceoftheparkinglotforstudents,whichwouldaddtothenoisearoundcampusandbemorecongestedforallthepeoplewhoalreadyparkingoverthere.

評析：該考生抓住了第三部分所有信息點，并在詞匯上進行了轉(zhuǎn)化升級再轉(zhuǎn)述，比如聽力原文里的createmoretraffic被該考生換成了bemorecongested這種轉(zhuǎn)換表達的方式，是托福評分官最歡迎的。整個陳述過程流暢且有條理，連接詞和過渡性詞匯明顯。語音語調(diào)非常優(yōu)秀。所以，此版被OG選為第三部分的高分范本。
