托福口语task2的三种解法。新托福口语考试共包含6部分,task1和2要求考生准备15秒后,讲述45秒的回答,task3和4会先给考生45秒时间阅读一段材料,然后让考生听一段一分多钟的录音,之后要求考生在30秒的时间内准备好讲述1分钟的回答,task5和6会先给出一分多钟的录音材料。
然后要求考生在准备20秒后回答一分钟时间。了解并准备过托福考试的考生会非常明确口语考试的主要难度一般集中在task4和6,因为这一类归于学术类话题,听力难度值相应较大,但是我们也不能忽略task1和2,虽然这两类话题比较简单,但是15秒准备时间也给考生增加了一定的难度,所以怎样才能在这么短的时间内想出思路并在45秒的时间里充分的组织好内容?下面,小编就来给大伙说说论新托福口语task2的三种解法。
在深入探讨前,我们先来了解一下task2的几种形式。它主要包含了两类话题,个人偏爱类和赞同类,以prefer和agree or disagree为明显标志。比如TPO39 “If you were given the choice of a school or work assignment, would you prefer to write a long report or give a speech in front of a large group of people? Use details and examples to explain your choice. ”和TPO21“ Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Your friends are the most important influence in your life. Use details and examples to explain your opinion.”
Task2的个人偏爱类和赞同类的主要区别在于,个人偏爱类主要涉及个人在面对生活或者学习的一些选择的不同想法,而赞同类一般涉及到一些比较社会性或者客观性的观点的判断,所以在分别回答的时候会有一些细微的差别。对于偏爱类的回答,因为它涉及的是比较个人的一些想法,所以在回答的角度的选择上可以偏向于个人看法,而赞同类一般集中于比较大众化的一些话题的看法,所以在回答的时候倾向于谈论与此话题相关的比较客观的一些观点。本篇主要围绕prefer类进行深入探讨,希望能给考生带来一些启发和指导。针对个人偏爱类,我们接下来将来详细的讨论关于回答这一类话题的思路发散的三个方向。
(一)双优
所谓双优,意思是当考生在面对个人偏爱类话题的时候,选择一个持方之后,接下来的回答主要集中于描述这个持方存在的两个优点或者好处。
例子如下:
TPO13 task2: When looking for information for a research project, some students prefer to get their information mainly from the internet. Others prefer to mainly use printed materials such as books and academic journals. Which do you prefer and why?
针对这个话题,假如考生的持方是get information mainly from the internet,那么接下来的内容基本围绕此选择所带来的两个优点展开,比如通过网络搜索信息比较省时间,以及网络信息获得的便利性。而如果考生的持方是另一个也就是use printed materials,那么接下来应该描述书本或者学术期刊的优点,比如内容信息的可靠性和阅读的舒适性。
Tips: 1. Getting information online
(1.1) Convenient
Everything can be done on a computer with internet connection
(1.2) Save time
One can get massive amount of information in a second when doing research online
2. Getting information from printed materials
(2.1) Accuracy
Published materials are more reliable than information found online
(2.2) Prints are easier to read
Staring at the computer screen for a long time can cause eye strains
(二)一优一缺
当然有时候会出现考生想不出两点优点的情况,这时候考生可以先描述自己持方的一个优点,然后逆向思维描述不选择另一个持方的原因或者说另一个持方的缺点。
例子如下:
TPO26 task2: Some people like to have their cell or mobile phone with them at all times. Other people prefer not to bring their cell or mobile phone with them everywhere they go, or they choose not to own one at all. Which do you prefer? Explain why.
针对这个话题,如果考生持方为have their mobile phone with them at all times,考生可以头脑风暴关于带手机的优点和不带手机的缺点,反之亦然,考生可以描述不带手机的优点和带手机的缺点。
Tips: 1. take cellphone at all times
优点:安全—safety
娱乐—entertainment
联系—communication
社交—socialization
缺点:上课会干扰同学老师—interrupt students and teachers in class
沉迷游戏—get addicted to games
2. not bring cellphone wherever they go
优点:私人空间—give some private space (e.g. celebrities)
没有辐射—have no radiation
缺点:紧急情况下无法联系—hard to reach in case of emergencies
考生可以随意组合自己想要的答案然后得出自己的版本,不过需要注意的是,在选择优点和缺点的时候,内容不要重复,比如持方为带手机,优点是安全,然后不带手机的缺点是紧急情况不能联系,不安全,那么通过这样组合方式,我们会发现内容的两点其实是重叠的,并不是比较有效的表达,所以考生一定避免出现类似情况。
(三)一优加个人个性
当考生并不能想出自己持方的两个优点或者另一个对立面的缺点,还可以采用一个套路,也就是可以从自己自身个性出发来描述个人的看法,可以套用句型I’m a … person who prefers to …或者as a … boy/girl, I usually prefer to …从自己的个性入手来支持自己的持方。(此观点只适用于个人,所以这个套路并不适合赞同类话题)
例子如下:
TPO50 task2: Some people like having a wide variety of friends and acquaintances they can spend time with. Others like to spend most of their free time with the same small group of close friends. Which do you prefer? Explain why?
针对这个话题,如果持方是喜欢跟各种各样不同朋友玩,可以先描述这个持方带来的优点,比如可以拓宽人际网或者可以学习到不同的观点和经历,同时可以从自己的个性出发扩充观点,比如个人比较外向善于交际很喜欢交不同的朋友;如果持方是喜欢跟老朋友一起玩,那么可以先描述优点比如跟老朋友更加熟悉了解,更好相处,然后可以再从个人个性入手说明个人性格比较内向,不太擅长跟很多人打交道,人多的时候会变得比较害羞沉默。
Tips: 1. spend time with a variety of friends and acquaintances
(1.1) expand social network
experience new things and different culture and custom
(1.2) extroverted
make friends with people with different backgrounds and ages
2. spend time with the same small group of close friends
(2.1) better understanding
get along well with intimate companions
(2.2) introverted
not good at socializing and become taciturn
以上便是对托福口语独立部分task2题型思路扩充的具体详解,三种解法均可以应用于回答当中,考生可以根据自己的个人水平和考试题目随机应变灵活使用。
