【真题解析】10月26日托福口语独立题讲解

Task1: Nowadays, robots can help people to do many things. Do you think that it’s a good idea and why?

分析：此题中的关键词是robot, good idea. 首先表明态度：I think/don’t think it’s a good idea for the following reasons. 接下来准备两个论点/理由来支持自己的观点。可以在大脑里先形成头脑风暴：if it is a good idea, what can robots for us?

结合生活中看到或者听到的关于robot的报道，不难发现robot对我们的life, work, scientific development三个方面都有帮助，然后形成分论点和细节的笔记。由于考试时候的准备时间有限（15秒），笔记尽量简洁，抓住最核心的内容写，不要试图造完整的句子或短语，因为真考的时候根本写不了太多：

S1: make life easier: eg, do housework
　　S2: work: do basic tasks: typing, filing, etc
　　S3: scientific research: outer-space, marine

根据笔记每个分论点造3-5句话，注意细节的拓展：

Supporting idea 1: Robots can make our daily life easier by sharing some house chores at home. For instance, some robots can do dishes, mop the floor and even provide room services! In this way, we can save the precious time and relax.
　　Supporting idea 2: robots can liberate us from the work loads. Many robots are capable of filing, typing and calculating the data. In this way, we can devote our energy to some more creative work.
　　Supporting idea 3: robots are wildly applied in scientific researches such as exploring outer-space, mining and marine technology. They are like front line “scientist” that can overcome the extreme conditions in those areas and bring back useful data and information.

头脑风暴以后可以从这三个论点中任意选取两个，形成一个45秒钟的答案：

Sample answer:

Well, as far as I am concerned, robots can benefit us in various ways.
　　To begin with, they can liberate us from the work loads. Many robots are capable of filing, typing and calculating the data. In this way, we can devote our energy to some more creative work.
　　Apart from that, robots are wildly applied in scientific researches such as exploring outer-space, mining and marine technology. They are like front line “scientist” that can overcome the extreme conditions in those areas and bring back useful data and information. (89 words)

在45秒钟以内讲完语言适中75-100个单词足够了，topic development上注意有中心句，分论点，足够的细节让考官follow到就可以了，语言简单直接就可以，不需要用很复杂的表达。最重要的是听起来清楚、流畅、完整。

Task 2: Some people prefer to finish reading a book at once; others prefer to finish reading a book for several times. Which way do you prefer and why?

这是一道很中规中矩的A or B型题，讲的是学习的选择。 新通外语80分班教材上用过的题目。这种题目的解题思路为迅速选择立场，A or B, 切忌中立， 然后给出理由。理由可以为你选择立场的优点，也可为对立面的缺点，也就是我们讲的A+1，B-1套路。头脑风暴的时候分别记下两个立场的优缺点，注意笔记尽量简洁，平时练题就要形成考试规范的笔记：

A+1：have a holistic understanding
　　A+2: read more books
　　A-1: exhausted
　　A-2: just the outline, no deep understanding

B+1: keep interest/curiosity
　　B+2: take a break/no push
　　B-1: time-consuming
　　B-2: lose interest

这样快速列出优缺点有利于训练辩证思维，可以选的点多了就不会觉得无话可说。

Sample answer 1:

From my perspective, I’d like to finish reading a book as soon as I can.
　　First of all, I can have a holistic understanding of the book instead of getting only part of the information. Especially when I am reading an interesting novel, I want to grasp the main plot and the characters as soon as possible. If I have to stop in the middle of the book, I will be killed by curiosity!
　　Moreover, finishing up reading a book can give me more time to read many other books. You know, I am a book-worm and I love to read as many books as I can. If I stop to read the same book from time to time, I will be wasting too much time on that book and have no time for other more interesting ones. (138 words)

注意，如果两个分论点是并列的关系，选用的连接词是moreover, besides等等；但是如果分论点是辩证的关系，连接词最好选取有转折意味的如on the other hand, in other words, otherwise等。以sample answer 2为例:

Sample answer 2:

To be honest, I’m the kind of person who prefers to finish reading a book for several times.
　　On one hand, finishing reading a book at once seems like a lot of pressure and I’ll be in a hurry instead of digesting the begining, the highlight of the plot and so forth. I think reading is an enjoyment and it shouldn’t be finished as a task.
　　On the other hand, taking a break when we feel tired is a more natural way of learning and we can have a lot of fun. In addition, if we read slower we can relish the author’s wisdom in the book and have a deep understanding. (112 words)

Task 2考查的就是使用辩证思维表达观点的能力，同学们平时练习题目的时候可以多从正反两面思考，这样不仅可以避免通俗的理由，有些论点甚至可以成为万能理由用在不同的题目当中。
