　　托福口语话题示范回答

　　Describe a person that you want to learn more about?

　　Sample Answer

　　Rather than anyone famous, if I were to pick a person to learn more about, it would actually be my own grandmother. As I have gotten older, I’ve realized that people older than me are actually an amazing resource because they’ve experienced first-hand lots of different things, and they have a lot of different interesting stories that they can share with me. So in the case of my grandmother, I actually went to visit her recently and I found out we have a lot of common interests that I had never actually known about before. For example, she used to be a nurse, so she has an interest lately in healthy vegan cooking. And that was something I had never known that she actually had a lot of knowledge about. So I think that if I were to visit her again, I could learn even more interesting things about her that I don’t know right now.
