實(shí)例講解析托福口語第二題的解題技巧
托福考試中口語部分一共有6個(gè)task需要一一完成,其中前兩個(gè)task叫做獨(dú)立任務(wù),考查的是考生獨(dú)立陳述和表達(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)的能力。今天,和大家介紹獨(dú)立任務(wù)中task2的答題技巧。
實(shí)例講解析托??谡Z第二題的解題技巧
托??谡Z task2的考查形式是對(duì)于一個(gè)問題的同意與否或者一個(gè)話題的兩種可能或兩個(gè)方面的一方偏好。所以,答題的步驟首先需要考生表明自己的觀點(diǎn),隨后再給出自己的理由作為支撐。表明觀點(diǎn)對(duì)我們來說沒有太大的困難,套用簡(jiǎn)單的模板加上句式的變化是很容易就能解決的。而在提供理由作為支撐的部分,卻成為廣大考生的絆腳石并。
主要的原因有以下幾個(gè)方面:1.對(duì)內(nèi)容的陳述缺乏細(xì)節(jié),繞圈子,意境朦朧,讓人覺得不知所云。2.對(duì)自己生活總結(jié)不足,不知道該說什么,想說什么,能說什么。表達(dá)的時(shí)候缺乏信心。3.就算準(zhǔn)備過的話題也覺得沒底,擔(dān)心考試的時(shí)候考的剛好是這個(gè)話題中自己沒有準(zhǔn)備過的分項(xiàng)內(nèi)容。那么,如何有效地組織理由呢?在答題時(shí),我們傾向于給出兩個(gè)理由作為支撐,這樣組織起來的答案比較飽滿也不會(huì)超時(shí)。基本的方法有三個(gè),我們以live with roommates VS. live alone為例。
方法一、給出一方面的兩個(gè)有利條件。比如和室友住能夠獲得學(xué)習(xí)生活上的幫助;能夠?qū)W會(huì)如何和他人相處,抑或一個(gè)人住能享受自認(rèn)空間;學(xué)會(huì)自立。
方法二、在考試時(shí)不能及時(shí)想出兩個(gè)理由時(shí),則給出一方面的好處和另一方面的壞處。比如,和室友住能夠獲得學(xué)習(xí)生活上的幫助;一個(gè)人住遇到困難時(shí)只能自己解決,而很多突發(fā)狀況一個(gè)人是難以應(yīng)付的。
然而,僅僅給出理由是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的,還需要進(jìn)一步的論證。在之前我們有提到考生在回答時(shí)的困難有一點(diǎn)那就是對(duì)內(nèi)容的陳述缺乏細(xì)節(jié),繞圈子,意境朦朧,讓人覺得不知所云。這一點(diǎn)就在于如何進(jìn)一步進(jìn)行論證,在這里給大家提供以下幾種簡(jiǎn)單的論證方法并仍然以live with roommates VS. live alone為例。
一、statistics 列數(shù)據(jù)擺事實(shí)
很多時(shí)候,十句空泛的大道理比不上一個(gè)事實(shí)。羅列數(shù)據(jù)是表現(xiàn)使理由細(xì)節(jié)化的一個(gè)重要手段。e.g.According to the statistic released by the publicsecurity department, the accident rate of living with roommates is 15% lowerthan living alone.
二、experience經(jīng)歷經(jīng)驗(yàn)
描述發(fā)生在自己或身邊人的真實(shí)經(jīng)歷是最具說服力并且最能體現(xiàn)細(xì)節(jié)的方法。e.g. Once I was in the dorm and preparing my up-coming examination, myroommate, wearing headphones, indulged in chatting with his girlfriend excitedlyand totally ignored his roommates’ feeling.Therefore I prefer live alone toenjoy a quiet personal space.
三、quotation名人名言引用深化理由
運(yùn)用名人名言來增加觀點(diǎn)的信服力從而使理由更充實(shí)有力。e.g. Two heads are better than one. People together can deal with the problemswhich you can’t cope with alone no matter in study or life.
