考过托福的孩子们，或者接触过托福考试的娃们，一定感受过托福口语考试的“接地气儿”。里面的综合题目都是同志们在出国后学习生活中遇到的场景。
比如Task 5里面的各种problem，如果大家对题目足够熟悉，一定记得有类似这样的场景：一位女同学需要完成一个term paper或者啥啥啥paper，不过由于天气原因或者其他各种原因，停电了，她的laptop马上没电但是还没写完作业，此时一位男同学会出现提供解决方案，要不然去学校的computer lab，要不然就跟professor解释看看能不能ask for an extension等等。
这个时候大家再来看看我们的雅思口语题目，这位女同学的电脑没电了，完全可以跟同学借一个嘛!于是就变成了a useful thing you once borrowed!(好吧我扯远了我们直接来看参考素材把……)
I’d like to talk about the laptop I borrowed from my classmate.
A few weeks ago, we had an assignment to make a presentation about the country we’d like to visit. After I got home, I realized that I left my charger at school, and the battery of my laptop was running low. It could only last for no more than 1 hour, which was definitely not enough for me to finish making the PowerPoint. I could ask my professor for an extension, but usually he wouldn’t make any exception.
It was already late, like 8 p.m., and I was quite sure our classroom was locked. Unfortunately I didn’t have the key. So it was impossible to get my charger. I didn’t know what to do, and then it suddenly occurred to me that one of my classmates is living in the neighborhood who uses the same laptop as mine. So I came up with the idea that I could borrow his charger.
When I got to his place, I explained the reason I came by, and he said there’s no need to borrow a charger, I could use his laptop to finish the homework ‘cause he had a desktop. It was not a bad idea ‘cause his place has better Internet service than I do at home.
I downloaded tons of pictures of Dubai, and I searched some information from Wikipedia, and then I put them all together in my PowerPoint.
I don’t think I can pull it off without my classmate’s laptop, so I’m really grateful.
此篇素材内容纯属虚构，完全受托福口语Task 5启发。由于托福口语里面的素材跟校园生活特别贴近，所以，那些之前复习过托福，后来又转战雅思的小伙伴们，之前的努力其实完全不会白费，各种素材要融会贯通，加油加油!
