我們都知道托福獨立口語的準備時間非常少,只有短短的15秒鐘,那在這有限的時間里,我們可以想到哪些內(nèi)容來描述書籍呢?今天小編就來給大家支支招~
首先我們要明白一個道理:托??谡Z對考生邏輯論述能力要求比較高,需要我們在提供觀點時,解釋清楚原因,提供例子和細節(jié)去支持原因。
我們來看一個經(jīng)典Task 1,來自TPO1:
Talk about a book you read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to support your answer.
這個題就是需要考生描述一本重要的書籍,還要給出重要的理由。在這里,我們要知道,考官并不真的在乎我們要說的書是什么!題目需要我們展示的是書為什么重要、如何重要,并不一定要講述書的內(nèi)容。只要我們在答題時留言流暢,和話題相關就可以得到不錯的分數(shù)。
所以小編教大家的換思路大法是:
談感受
例如:故事很有趣,我們可以這么說:The story in the book was so interesting and appealing that once I began to read it, I couldn’t stop. /The book was so fun to read that I couldn’t help laughing every time I read it. It brought me a lot of happiness.
再或者:故事很有意義,我們可以這么說:The story in the book was not only exciting but also inspiring. It taught me so much about the world we were living and showed me different ways people thought. /The story was meaningful and inspiring. It taught me to keep going and never give up, which is the most important lesson in life.
談功能
例如:書本可能會對你的學業(yè)有幫助,我們可以說:The book is beneficial to my academic learning. It provides much extra information on my major courses in addition to school textbooks.
又或者:此書還可能幫你交到朋友:To be honest, I met my girlfriend thanks to this book. We were sitting in the reading room next to each other and reading the same book! What a coincidence! Then we began to talk about how much we liked the writer and his books. Next thing you knew, she gave me her number!
說到這里,有些學生會說“那我想不出來什么書怎么辦?”沒關系,我們可以make up一本書,或者隨便挑一本你知道的但沒看過的書(考官并不是博學到什么書都看過~)。因為我們在前面說過了,考官不需要你說出書的具體內(nèi)容,所以你看沒看過都沒關系,只要能自信的“侃侃而談”,談談感受,談談功能,流暢地說夠45秒,這個任務也就圓滿完成啦。
