@aalaeeTOEFLiBT #TOEFL #iBT March 26, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 6: Usually companies would have some contingency plans in place to deal with unexpected incidents that cause some damages for them. And a contingency plan usually contains two parts. The first part is how to continue, that is to say, a company would work out a plan to deal with the contingency directly to minimize the impact. For instance, if a ski area is suffering a lack of snowfall in a particular year that would render the resort unable to use, the company would resolve the problem by purchasing some snow cannons to supplement the natural snow with artificial ones, thus avoid being shut down and lose a lot of money. Another part is how to communicate to the public. The same company might send out emails to their potential customers to notify them that they are experiencing snowfall shortage this year, and as a result, they might not be having a great time than they expected, so by lowering their customers’ expectations, the company wouldn't be expecting as much complaints, and thus bear less or even no damage from the snowfall shortage. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

#TOEFL #iBT March 26, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 5: The last movie that’s gonna be shown in tomorrow’s film class is the woman’s favorite and she is planning to write a paper about it; however, she has an appointment with the doctor at the same time. She could either rent a copy of the movie to watch it later, or write her paper about one of those films shown before. I would go for the first option. Missing the class doesn’t necessarily mean that she would miss out all those discussions and the professor’s perspective that might be essential for her paper, actually, with various digital gadgets available nowadays, she could simply ask her classmates to film the whole class session with a film recorder for her later paper-writing use. What’s more, it’s kind of torture to write about something she is not fond of and she wouldn't be as motivated and inspired. She might procrastinate, causing her lose the score of the paper. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

#TOEFL #iBT March 26, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 4: Cyclic population change is a phenomenon where the interaction between species will form a repeating cycle in which populations of predator and prey increase and decrease then eventually return to their original size. For example, wolf is predator and mouse is prey, it would be good for us to look at how the populations of these two species affect each other in phases; in the first phase, we have a lot of mice and only a few wolves, wolves have a large food supply, so they can live longer and more healthily, reproduce and feed their pups, then wolves’ population will grow, and when it comes to the point where there are more wolves to eat the mice, the mouse population starts to decline, and this is phase two, wolves would have a hard time to survive, let alone feed their young, so the wolves’ population begins to shrink, therefore fewer mouse would get eaten, so that their population will amass, and we would reach the third phase, that is abundant mice and not many wolves, equivalent to phase one, right where we started. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

#TOEFL #iBT March 26, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 3: The woman is not in favor of those two ways that have been proposed in the student’s letter regarding encouraging more students to read school newspaper. As for the point about lowering the price of the newspaper to draw a larger subscription, she argues that right now the newspaper is already a bargain with its price at 45 cents, and those pictures on the paper, are of high quality, so the price they are charging is legitimate. Plus, for providing better services like dispatching newspapers to dormitories, she points out that the university lacks staff; if dispatching service were added, they would have to hire more employees, which means higher costs for the university. That’s why she thinks those two ways are not feasible. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

Although Hormel called it “the miracle meat in a can,” others have referred to it as “the mystery meat.” This is unfair because, as impartial observers have pointed out, the ingredients are listed on each can. (They are chopped pork shoulder with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite.) In these more health-conscious times, the calorie count and high percentage of fat have also become a concern. In fact, Hormel Foods now makes SPAM Lite and SPAM Oven Roasted Turkey. SPAM is manufactured in several countries. In fact, in Korea SPAM is sold in stylish gift boxes. It may seem incongruous to see SPAM alongside expensive watches and perfume, but South Koreans consider it a great treat. Within the United States, Hawaiians eat the most SPAM per capita, averaging four cans per person each year. SPAM can be prepared in many ways, including grilled, baked, and microwaved, or it can be eaten cold right from the can. There are thousands of recipes that include SPAM. Cooking contests featuring SPAM are popular throughout the United States. It may come as a revelation that some uses for SPAM Products have nothing to do with food. Joey Green has become famous for using it to polish furniture and bathroom fixtures. Reporter James Barron, however, noted that it left a greasy film. Others have found that SPAM can spackle a wall, fill holes in a canoe, and soothe a black eye. These uses seem eccentric, but amusing. SPAM has been the subject of poetry, including haiku, a form of verse originally from Japan. One author writes: Pretty pink Spam ham Shining on the white platter. Where did my fork go? Sonnets and limericks have also been written to SPAM. With all the fun and nutrition that SPAM has given us over the years, it is good to know that it still sells well. SPAM is resilient enough to remain unaffected by criticism. Sales remain invincible to humorous put-downs and even insults. Hormel Foods continues to be an autonomous, family-originated company. The continuing popularity of the SPAM Family of Products is illustrated by the fact that if all the cans ever sold were laid end to end, they would circle the Earth at least twelve times!

It has even been listed among the one hundred greatest inventions of the twentieth century. Yet it has come under attack for its nutritional value as well as its appearance. What is it? The SPAM Family of Products, of course! The SPAM Family of Products was first produced in 1935. A few years later, Hormel Foods Corporation (formerly Geo. A Hormel & Company) invented an ingenious process that allowed meat to be preserved in a can without refrigeration. But sales didn’t really take off until the company changed the name of the product. It ran a contest and chose the entry of “Spam.” The person who coined the name received $100. Although this sum would not be considered equitable payment by today’s standards, it was quite a bit of money at the time. The seemingly interminable economic depression of the 1930s made the price of many fresh meats exorbitant. Canned meat, like SPAM, was a cheaper alternative. So with its new, appealing name, SPAM found its way into many U.S. homes. A can of SPAM was easy to get, store, and prepare. World War II (1939–1945) made SPAM luncheon meat a truly common food. With its new, square-cornered cans, designed to meet military needs, SPAM could easily be shipped to soldiers. The high-calorie food quickly subdued hunger and supplied protein. SPAM fed the armies of many nations. In his autobiography, Khrushchev Remembers, the former head of the Soviet Union credited SPAM with saving the Russian army from starvation. And, back in the United States, when other meats were rationed, SPAM could be bought in unlimited quantities. SPAM luncheon meat continued to feed troops in other wars. Jess Loya, a Vietnam veteran, remembers that SPAM was an antidote to his homesickness. Opening a can would remind him of his childhood when, living with a single father, he ate it often. With its former gelatin-like coating and odd, boxlike shape, SPAM has long been a source of conversational fun. Its pink color, similar to ham but more intense, seems to spark strong reactions of either antipathy or devotion. Advertisements have added to the popularity of SPAM. Radio featured “SPAMMY™ the Pig” and the musical “Hormel Girls,” who toured the United States. In 1940, SPAM became quite possibly the subject of the world’s first singing commercial. Sung to the tune of “My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean,” it went “SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, Hormel’s new miracle meat in a can. Tastes fine, saves time. If you want something grand, ask for SPAM.”

#TOEFL #iBT March 19, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 6: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT The professor introduces two advantages of applying biological methods to control invasive plants. For one thing, compared with chemical methods, biological methods cause less harm to the habitat. Unlike chemicals that may contaminate environment, insects will only eat the invasive plant. For example, scientists used to use insects to kill this kind of invasive cactus in New Zealand. Those insects do no damage to the environment but only to the cactus. Moreover, while using chemicals can be costly, using insects is a rather inexpensive way because only a certain number of insects are needed in particular parts of the place. For instance, when bringing beetles to a land invaded by a species of weed in the United States, scientists just introduce a small number of insects and then those insects just naturally reproduce in great numbers and save the entire area. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

#TOEFL #iBT March 19, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 5: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT The woman is facing a dilemma at the moment. She’s planned to work on her paper in dorm during the spring break but her roommate will have a friend over for the whole week, which puts her in a tough spot. She can either talk to her roommate or go to the library instead. I’d suggest she choose the latter one. Firstly, as she mentions, taking to her roommate about the distraction on her study seems improper, and may even cause misunderstanding between them, so it would be unwise to do so. Admittedly, the library’s open hour is shortened during the spring break and she’ll have less time to write her paper, such compression in time may as well stimulate her to work harder and to get the paper done more efficiently. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

#TOEFL iBT March 19, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task4: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT The passage talks about negatively bias which means the negative characteristic will impress people stronger than the positive ones. The professor presents an example to illustrate this phenomenon. A worker in an insurance company is diligent, capable and knowledgeable. He always finishes work perfectly and loves to help others in need. However, his only shortcoming is that he’s easy to lose temper. One time he even argued with a coworker emotionally. So when it comes to the time of promotion, if the boss asks about the coworkers’ option towards him, they will concentrate much more on his bad temper instead of all those favorable qualities.@aalaeeTOEFLiBT

TOEFL iBT March 19, 2016: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT Speaking Task 3: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT The university announces it will put off the first class in the morning until an hour later, from 8am to 9am, so as to make students well-rested and better-prepared for classes. Plus, the professor gets more time to get well-prepared for classes. The man in the conversation is not in favor of this plan. He argues that students will stay up late instinctively if they are aware that they don’t have to get up early next morning. As for the point about professors, he points out that it is more likely for professors to get caught in the rush hours in the morning with such change. They’ll end up wasting more time on the road dealing with heavy traffic. In short, the plan would lead to more negative consequences rather than expected. »>Once the same topic was given as the first speaking question.«< @aalaeeTOEFLiBT
