体育sports是大家都不陌生的内容,因为经常在托福考试里与其他题目混合出现。比如,学生是否应该多参加体育活动?
此外,体育其实也会单独出题。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Playing sports teaches people important lessons about life. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: When people spend a lot of time watching sports on television or following their favorite team, it has negative effects on their lives.
这对一些不太关注体育赛事的同学,没有相关素材积累的同学来说,这些题就比较困难了。
