托福口語(yǔ)不考這道題算我輸

如果你正在備考托福的話，托福獨(dú)立口語(yǔ)有一個(gè)趨勢(shì)不知道你發(fā)現(xiàn)沒(méi)有。我們來(lái)看看今年的幾道真題，你就知道了。The university decides to remodel the dormitory and add a new space to it. Which space do you recommend to add in your dormitory?

1. Cafe

2. Study room

3.Game room (2017.5.6 task1)

All people should be required to stop working and retire by age 65. Do you agree or disagree?(2017.5.6 task2) 這道題是2016年5月28日托�？谡Z(yǔ)task2原題

If you have more money, you want to spend your money on objects like clothes and electronic devices or spend your money on experience. (2017.4.23 task2)

Which of the following areas of current events do you most like to read? 1. Politics 2. Sports 3.Art and films (2017.4.15 task1)

Some people prefer sending messages while others prefer making phone calls directly, which do you prefer? (2017.3.25 task2)

Which of following aspects do you think contributes most to country's success?

1. Many business opportunities

2. Well rounded medical care system

3. A developed educational system.

對(duì)比一下我們可以看到：

task2還是那個(gè)task2，即paired choices，比如有一句statement你選擇同意或不同意，或兩個(gè)東西你更傾向選擇哪一個(gè)。但task1有所變化，傳統(tǒng)的task1是屬于open choices的題目，不給選項(xiàng)限制的，比如“Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reasons”,但今年的考題以前的高頻話題“人事地物”都不見(jiàn)了，而是無(wú)一例外地變成了三選一，即使再拿幾道真題出來(lái)，基本上也都是三選一，似乎已經(jīng)容不下open choices題目的存在了，但很多同學(xué)在面對(duì)三選一的題目還是和open choices一樣的答法，所以很難拿高分，那今天我們就來(lái)聊聊三選一的題該怎么答。

以2.18號(hào)的真題為例：

Which of following aspects do you think contributes most to country's success? 1. Many business opportunities 2. Well rounded medical care system 3. A developed educational system.

這道題很多同學(xué)會(huì)這樣答，他會(huì)選擇一個(gè)比如many business opportunities，然后回答兩點(diǎn)business opportunities給國(guó)家?guī)��?lái)的好處，比如：

1. 促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng) to boost economic growth

2. 更多更好的工作機(jī)會(huì) better job opportunities

然后每個(gè)理由給一點(diǎn)細(xì)節(jié)就大功告成，自我感覺(jué)良好了。

但這樣其實(shí)不會(huì)得到高分，因?yàn)槟銢](méi)有答其所問(wèn)，

再看一遍題目，注意審題：

Which of following aspects do you think contributes most to a country's success?

1. Many business opportunities

2. Well rounded medical care system

3. A developed educational system.

題目問(wèn)的是那一個(gè)對(duì)國(guó)家的成功貢獻(xiàn)最大，題干中要你做比較，但你的回答體現(xiàn)不出任何比較。但很多同學(xué)會(huì)困惑，45秒的時(shí)間要比較三個(gè)選項(xiàng)，沒(méi)時(shí)間啊，做不到啊!

不要害怕，我們是有小技巧的。你不需要三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都說(shuō)一次，這樣會(huì)很混亂，而且你也不一定能找到比較的點(diǎn)。我的建議是先找到三個(gè)選項(xiàng)之間的聯(lián)系，總結(jié)一下可以有兩種聯(lián)系

1. 因果關(guān)系

2.包含關(guān)系。

對(duì)于這道題來(lái)說(shuō)，我認(rèn)為選擇a developed educational system更好答，因?yàn)樗�和前面兩個(gè)選擇可以構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系，如果教育水平發(fā)達(dá)了，我們可以培養(yǎng)出更多商業(yè)人才，他們可以創(chuàng)造更多business opportunities;如果教育水平發(fā)達(dá)了，醫(yī)療相關(guān)專業(yè)的學(xué)生可以獲得更先進(jìn)的知識(shí)、更全面的資源，也就更有能力對(duì)醫(yī)療發(fā)展、醫(yī)保體系的完善做出貢獻(xiàn)。人是一切的根本。這樣的答案有比較，有邏輯，內(nèi)容也不會(huì)太多而導(dǎo)致超時(shí)。

那么接下來(lái)我給大家一個(gè)sample answer:

Personally, I think a developed educatioanl system ccontributes most to a country's success. To a great extent, creating bussiness opportunities and well-rounded medical care system both rely on people, therefore educating people is the most fundamental thing. For one thing, developed educational system canfoster more bussiness talents, with the knowledge and inspiration they acquire from school, a lot of them become entrepreneur and creat a great number of bussiness opportunities, most of the successfull bussiness men have great educational background like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Similarly，a developed educational system also provides medical students with advanced knowledge and abundant resource，which can better enable them to contribute to the development of medical care system.

to a great extent 很大程度上

fundamental 根本的

foster 培養(yǎng)

entrepreneur 企業(yè)家

similarly 同樣的

大家有沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)我給的例子比較模糊，因?yàn)槲业倪壿嬂碚撋鲜浅闪⒌�，但�?shí)際上很多商業(yè)大咖都是輟學(xué)的，比如比爾蓋茨，被哈佛錄取后讀了一年就退學(xué)創(chuàng)業(yè)了，但時(shí)隔多年之后，2007年哈佛還是頒發(fā)畢業(yè)證給他了，所以說(shuō)他有很好的educational background也沒(méi)什么錯(cuò)。當(dāng)然如果大家有更好的例子，就可以多加一些準(zhǔn)確的細(xì)節(jié)，但由于時(shí)間的限制，sample answer這個(gè)長(zhǎng)度已經(jīng)足夠了。

再看一道吧。

Which one of three occupations do you think is the hardest.

1. government worker

2. doctor

3. police officer. Please state your reasons with specific details.

這道題就是我說(shuō)的有包含關(guān)系的選項(xiàng)。什么意思呢?

這三種工作，各有各的難處，責(zé)任大，難度大等等，但我們想想，是不是其中有一個(gè)工作包含了其他工作的難處，同時(shí)有其他工作所不具備的難處呢?我能想到police officer這個(gè)工作的safety，安全問(wèn)題，相對(duì)另外兩個(gè)工作會(huì)更嚴(yán)重一些，這樣比較的點(diǎn)也就找到了。如果想不到別的理由，可以給一個(gè)具體的例子或者給一些細(xì)節(jié)論證來(lái)填充內(nèi)容，為工作而犧牲的警察數(shù)不勝數(shù)，想到例證應(yīng)該難度不大。

看看這個(gè)sample answer吧：

From where I'm standing, police officer is the hardest occupation. Undoutedly, each of these jobs has its own great responsibilty and difficulty, but relatively speaking, police officer is the most dangerous one. When they arrest criminals, the criminals might be combative and resistant, so it's highly likely for the police officers to get hurt, or even risk their lives. Statistics show thatthere are about 500 police officer sacrifice their lives each year in China, not to mention those who are injured, the number ofcasualties in total is heartbreaking.

from where I'm standing 就我而言

undoutedly 毋庸置疑地

relatively speaking 相對(duì)而言

combative 好戰(zhàn)的

resistent 抵抗的

statistics show that ...數(shù)據(jù)顯示...

casualty 傷亡

當(dāng)然不是所有三選一的題目都可以歸到這兩個(gè)類別里面來(lái)的，比如題目問(wèn)你三種電影類型，你最不喜歡哪一種等等，類似這種特別主觀的問(wèn)題，無(wú)法通過(guò)找到三者的聯(lián)系來(lái)比較，所以以上的思路也行不通。但這種題其實(shí)跟普通的open choices區(qū)別不大的，不一定非要比較，你只需要在表達(dá)的過(guò)程中多使用一些比較級(jí)，和"compare with"或unlike這種表示比較的短語(yǔ)，就ok啦。
