托福独立口语入门段真题训练 Is it appropriate for students to disagree with their instructor

托福口语是中国考生普遍低分的单项，而提分无他捷径，唯有多加练习反思。练习的过程中大家也要注意结合自身基础和备考阶段，选择适合的练习材料。下面我们来看一篇比较简单的托福真题，刚接触托福或基础较弱的童鞋可以充分利用这篇的参考答案和笔记，做好练习与反思。

Is it appropriate for students to disagree with their instructor?

如果学生不同意老师的意见，那是恰当的。

I think, for the following reasons, that it is definitely appropriate for a student to disagree with an instructor.

Firstly, if everyone agrees with their instructors, nobody would try to build on their teachings. In this environment, no field would ever be advanced. Every subject, whether a science or art, needs pioneers and, therefore, those who reject their teachings. A great teacher not only gives students knowledge and perspective but also simultaneously encourages them to explore their own theories and research.

Secondly, teachers should act as metacognitive coaches, serving as role-models. When an instructor manifests open communication with students and demonstrates an interest in their learning, the instructor may facilitate a positive self-concept in students and enhance their cognitive abilities.

我认为不同意老师的意见是恰当的。首先，如果每个人都同意他们的导师，没有人会试图建立他们的教导。这样，任何一个受试者都不会推进这些领域。一位优秀的教师不仅能给学生提供知识和视角，同时也为学生探索自己的理论和研究提供了机会和动力。当教师表现出与学生开放的交流，表现出对学习的兴趣时，教师可以促进学生积极的自我概念，提高他们的认知能力。
