TOEFL福口語考試第一題高頻出題點

  先來看一個託福口語第一題的考題,Describe the famous person you admire most. Explain why you admire this person. Include details and examples to support your response. (TOFEL ibt 08.06.22) 這是一個people類的考題,我們拿到一個題目後,腦海中應該立刻浮現出最基本的答題框架:

  topic sentence + supporting ideas. Topic sentence是比較容易想的,甚至是可以虛構的,所以問題就落在supporting ideas的思路上。描述一個人,最容易的角度便是這個人內在的qualities. 如:humorous, open-minded, easy-going, warm-hearted, community-minded, high driven, visionary, knowledgeable… 有了這些點之後,我們要想辦法把點變成線,也就是把一個觀點擴充成一到兩個句子。

  我們可以用描述的方法去講這個觀點同意轉換,如‘he’s a very open-minded person and he’s always flexible to changes. 同時我們還可以用舉例的方法來進行擴展,如 ‘He’s a high-driven guy and he worked so hard on his Toefl test, study almost 24/7.’

  再來看一類託福口語第一題的考題:Choose an object you like and explain why it is of special value to you. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation. (TOFEL ibt 08.02.24),這道題屬於物品題,物品的題目也是一個常考點,但是準備的面比較廣,可能會出成:a type of pet (Longman p.52)a kind of game (Longman p.72)your important gift (Longman p.64),咱們可以從兩個角度去答題:

  對物品本身的簡單描述 + 物品的來源或是重要意義,如描述寵物可以說: ‘ coz he keeps me company, when I was sad, he was always by my side.’ 又如描述禮物可以說: ‘ The psp was a gift from my Grandpa, it was a credit to my hard work on the SAT test.’

  再來看一類託福口語第一題的考題,If you could live abroad, where would you go? Explain why you would go there. (Longman p.42)地方題目也是常考題型,變換方式相對較少,比如有:the city you live (Longman p.31)a city you have always wanted to go (TOFEL ibt 08.02.02)your favorite place when you were a child (TOFEL ibt 08.03.08)等等。

  地點題的答題思路為:景色,飲食,高雅休閒場所,教育,就業機會。如果說美國,景色可以描述national park, the beauty of nature well preserved, 飲食可以說dessert, I’ve got a sweet tooth, 如說高雅休閒場所,可以說Broadway, or NBA games,教育可以談美國的大學,就業機會可以談美國的500 fortunes. 再比如如果講蘇州,景色可以說gardenswell preserved ancient building, 就業機會可以講講蘇州工業園,SIPprovides a lot of job and internship opportunities for graduates…

  第四類常考的題目是event類,來看一個例題:What is the most memorable event you experienced in your life? Explain why it is memorable. (Longman p.50),類似的事件題的關鍵形容詞可以換為:embarrassing (Longman p.70) challenging (TOFEL ibt 07.03.03)disappointing (TOFEL ibt 08.03.30)hard (TOFEL ibt 08.06.17)等等。

  較難的題可以出成:Describe a time when you needed help from others, how he or she helped you and what was the result? Please include details and examples to support your answer. (TOFEL ibt 07.04.29),這類題目跟個人親身經歷有關,考場上容易一時沒有思路,也很難去杜撰,所以應在考前多去回憶童年往事,同時嘗試著用英文表達出來,假如實在無法勾起美好的回憶,那就去杜撰吧, 注意是考前練習時杜撰,千萬別到了考場上再去杜撰。

  以上四類是託福口語第一題考察頻率最高的四大類,當然還有其他類別的一些考題,如工作職業類(這類主要是關於人生的目標,職業的選擇,工作的興趣等等),學校教育類,new skill you would like to learn (TOFEL ibt 08.01.19),文化娛樂類,這類題目涉及到文化、藝術、娛樂等生活中常見的題材
