托福口语Task 6答题要素总结

托福口语第六题是一道学术问题，但是不需要阅读文章。讲座内容大多是基础知识，考生不需要有相应的专业背景即可听懂。但是大部分学生还是最害怕托福口语第六题。本题夫人听力一般分为3段，为总分关系，考生需要记录第一段中提及的某个学术概念下的两种现象。如，动物适应新环境的两种方式，植物入侵的两种方式，色彩搭配的两个原则，吸引投资的;两个前提条件等。后面的第二，三段中，教室会用具体的实例分别解释说明上述两种现象。目前托福口语Task 6都是总分结构，常见的几种考法：

1. 解决一个问题的两个方案

2. 一个物体或方法的两种使用方法

3. 一个过程的两个步骤

4. 一个原因导致的两个现象

5. 一个后果产生的两个原因

6. 一个概念的两种定义

那个第6题的答题要点有哪些呢：

答题5个关键点

1) 教授在讨论的主题(topic)

2) 教授讨论的主题的第一个方面 ( subtopic 1)

3) 第一个方面的例子 (example 1)

4) 教授讨论的主题的第二个方面 ( subtopic 2)

5) 第二个方面的例子 ( example 2)

答题注意：

1) 想获得高分一定要用自己的话转述

2)如果听力部分的例子中出现专有名词(如植物名和动物名)，一般情况下在答题时会再次出现在屏幕上，注意笔记以及发音。如果漏记，可以使用诸如 a kind of plant和 a kind of bird之类的短语表达

下面以 TPO 2 Task 6为例：

听力内容：

So, let’s talk about money. What is money? Well, typically people think of coins and paper “bills” as money . . . but that’s using a somewhat narrow definition of the term.

Abroad definition is this: money is anything that people can use to make purchases with. Since many things can be used to make purchases, money can have many different forms. Certainly, coins and bills are one form of money. People exchange goods and services for coins or paper bills, and they use this money . . . these bills . . . to obtain other goods and services. For example, you might give a taxi driver five dollars to purchase a ride in his taxi. And he inturn gives the five dollars to a farmer to buy some vegetables.

But, as I said, coins and bills aren’t the only form of money under this broad definition. Some societies make use of a barter system. Basically, in a barter system people exchange goods and services directly for other good sand services. The taxi driver, for example, might give a ride to a farmer in exchange for some vegetables. Since the vegetables are used to pay for a service, by our broad definition the vegetables are used in barter as a form of money.

Now, as I mentioned, there’s also a second… a narrower definition of money. In the United States only coins and bills are legal tender—meaning that by law, a seller must accept them as payment. The taxi driver must accept coins or bills as payment for a taxi ride. OK? But in the U.S., the taxi driver is not required to accept vegetables in exchange for a ride. So a narrow definition of money might be whatever is legal tender in a society, whatever has to be accepted as payment.

听完内容后会注意到以下5个点：

1. topic: The professor is discussing two different definitions of money.

2. subtopic 1: A broad definition of money is anything that can be used to make purchases with.

3. example 1: For example, people might give a taxi driver coins or bills, or even vegetables for a ride.

4. subtopic 2: A narrower definition of money is something that must be accepted as payment, legal tender.

5. example 2: For example, a taxi driver must accept coins and bills, but he does not have to accept vegetables, because vegetables are not legal tender in the U.S.

把以上5个点串起来，就是我们要的答案：

The professor is talking about two different definitions of money. In broad sense, money is whatever one can use to make purchase with, so money comes in different forms. For example, you may pay a five dollar bill to a taxi driver in exchange for a ride. And the taxi driver then may use the bill to pay a farmer for some vegetables. Anyway, some societies do not use coins and bills as their money, they use something called barter system, under which goods and services are exchanged directly for other goods or services. So the farmer may give the taxi drivers some vegetables in exchange for a ride, and in this case the vegetable is a form of money under the system. A narrow definition of money is whatever a government is allowed as legal tender. For example, in the U.S., people must use coins and bills to pay for their goods and services, like the taxi driver must accept a five dollar bill as payment rather than some vegetables.
