【解析】2014年4月托�？谡Z考試獨立題TASK 1

4.12 托福口語獨立題TASK 1題干：
　　A：Talk about how cellphone has changed people’s lives. Explain your answer in details.
　　B：Talk about the ways Internet has benefited people’s lives. Explain your answer in details.

兩套第一題難度都不大，因為電子產(chǎn)品、通訊工具和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和大多數(shù)考生日常生活息息相關(guān)，感受深刻，例子一抓一大把。我相信考生們在課堂上也一定做了足夠多的訓(xùn)練。甚至，有一些理由可以在這兩道題中通用，比如:

- The cellphone/Internet has allowed us to communicate with people far from us, even in different countries.
　　- With the help of cellphone/Internet, we can know the latest news, so we would know better about what is going on in the society.
　　- Whenever I have problems, especially when I get lost, I don’t need to ask other people for help. The cellphone/Internet can tell me where to go and I can easily find my destination. I9kk

但是，請注意，兩道題之間有一個很大的區(qū)別。大陸B(tài)的題目更傾向于我們平時的訓(xùn)練，因為題干當(dāng)中出現(xiàn)了一個很明顯帶有正評價的詞“benefit”，我們只需要說網(wǎng)絡(luò)的優(yōu)點即可，非常類似考生們習(xí)慣的Task 2。
　　在大陸A套題中，題干使用的動詞時“change”，這是一個中性詞。也就是說，在回答大陸A套題時，我們可以詳細(xì)解釋手機(jī)的兩到三個優(yōu)點，也可以優(yōu)缺點間雜著說，甚至選擇全部說缺點都是可以的，故考生在答題時，發(fā)揮的余地會比大陸B(tài)套題更大。

4月19日大陸考區(qū)并沒有分開兩套口語題，而是使用了全國統(tǒng)一的一套。

4.19 托�？谡Z獨立題TASK 1題干：
　　Talk about an important decision that you have made. Explain why this decision is important to you.

描述一個你做過的非常重要的決定，難中之難事件題！但是考點不算偏，和日常生活也足夠緊密，所以考生們無需太過緊張。雖然事件題屬于獨立題里最具有個人特征的提醒，比較難找出一個統(tǒng)一的答案，但是鑒于考生多數(shù)為在校學(xué)生，我們可以總結(jié)出三個主要的場景：選擇專業(yè)、出國留學(xué)、選擇工作。

例文：
　　I made an important decision last year when I was about to graduate from high school. Students often face some difficulties when they are required to choose major. For me, it was even harder.
　　My parents are both successful businessmen and they have always wanted me to take over the family owned business. So they asked me to study finance, accounting and related business majors. But for me, I like Chinese novels very muchand I think numbers and business are boring, so I would like to choose to study Chinese literature. My father was certainly not happy about that and we had some arguments that time. 
　　Finally, I surrendered to my father and chose business management major. Now it turns out it’s a good decision because I can use the knowledge to help my parents and I can still enjoy reading during my spare time.

4.27 托�？谡Z獨立題TASK 1題干：
　　Describe a person you want to learn more about. Explain why you want to know more about this person.

簡單題，入門題，大家都會說的人物題，但是要注意和以往常見題目的區(qū)別。人物題最常見的幾種形式: Describe the person you admire the most. / Describe the most influential person in your community. / Describe the person you always talk to. 以及其他。
　　無論哪一種，都是基于考生對那個人的了解展開論述。而這題，考察的恰恰是我們“不了解”、“想要了解”的部分。所以千萬不要陷入慣性思維一味地述說人物的特點，而是在講述你了解的特點之余，穿插一部分你尚不知道但是有興趣的信息。

例文：
　　The person I want to lean more about is Steve Jobs, the former CEO of the Apple company, which produces Iphone and Ipad. I have two reasons. First, everybody knows that before Steve worked for Apple, the company suffered loss and none of its products was successful.

It was only after Steve became the CEO that Apple started to boom and kick other competitors out. So I am really interested in this process, how his team invented Iphone and made it successful. Second, Steve Jobs gives perfect speeches. His words “stay hungry, stay foolish” became the motto of thousands of teenagers. So I want to know what kind of experience he had when he was young. Maybe this will help me understand life better.
