一.审题
在托福口语考试中，考生一定要重视审题。这个题目中考生应该注意，托福独立口语task2一般是采用的二选一或者三选一的题目，考生只需要选择其中的一方进行论述即可。在这个题目中，考生需要论述的题目内容是，一些人认为孩子应该自己选择他们想看的电视节目，另一些人认为，父母应该控制孩子们看哪些电视节目。从题目类型上来说，这个题目属于教育类话题，无论考上选择以上哪一个方面，只要可以合理的进行论述即可。
二.解题思路
(一)允许孩子们去选择
1.只有孩子们自己知道他们想要什么，家长并不知道孩子们想看哪些电视节目;
2.让孩子们自己选择想看的电视，可以培养他们的独立意识;
(二)不允许孩子们自己去选择
1.现在电视节目中有很多暴力，血腥的场景，这并不适合孩子们观看;
2.家长应该限制孩子们看电视的时间，因为孩子的自控能力比较弱;
三.范文
I think that parents should exercise control over the television programs their children watch for the following reasons. (在文章的第一段表明了自己的观点，认为家长应该限制孩子们看电视节目)First of all, not all TV programs today are suitable for younger viewers.(用first of all引出了第一个支撑自己观点的论点，并不是所有的电视节目都适合小孩观看) For example, some TV programs have sexual and violent content that would have a negative influence on children; it’d be a good idea for parents to filter out these kinds of programs for children. Second, parents should encourage children to watch more educational programs. (用second引出了自己的第二个观点，家长应该鼓励孩子们去看更加有教育意义的节目，可以帮助孩子们学到更多)Such as the programs you get from the Discovery Channel. Kids can learn a lot and have a great time watching them.
