托??谡Z三選一題型例題分析
近年來托??谡Z第一道題中頻繁出現(xiàn)“三選一”的題型;與傳統(tǒng)task 1題目不同的是,這類題型限制了一個話題下考生的選擇,因此需要我們平時更多的素材積累和練習準備,這其中真題的訓練尤為重要。下面繼續(xù)給大家提供兩道近年的task 1“三選一”真題和回答范例,建議同學們先自行練習,再參考老師的思路和例文,希望能幫助到大家。
托福三選一口語例題
1.Sep. 12th, 2015
Which one do you think is the best way to get to know a city: joining in an organized tour, visiting the museum or walking along the streets?
參考思路:選擇“joining in an organized tour”;Reason 1: professional knowledge from tour guides, Reason 2: fully concentrating on knowing the city without any burdens.
Sample:
As far as I’m concerned, joining in an organized tour would be the best way to get to know a city. Most people are not so familiar with other places, and it would be unrealistic for them to do the research before travelling because theymight be busy working or studying. If they just want to have some fun, there is no harm to visit the museum or walk along the streets. But if they reallyaim to know about a new city, they would need some professional knowledge which canbe provided by the tour guides in theorganized tours. The second reason is that by joining in an organized tour, people don’t need to worry about terms like accommodation, flight tickets and other stuff because they are all set. In thisway, they can fully concentrate onknowing the city without any burdens.

Which period do you think is most challenging: childhood, teenage or adulthood?
參考思路:選擇“teenage period”;Reason 1: start to face some new problems, Reason 2: face a dilemma to hold on to their own ideas or not.
Sample:
In my opinion, teenage period is the most challenging one and I’ve got some reasons for that. First, teenagers start to face some problems like what to learn as a major anddealing with a relationship, something that is totally new tothem. Basically they have to learn those by themselves. What’s more, compared to adults who can control their ownlives and kids who just rely on their parents, youngsters face the dilemma that they need to live a life in between. Theymight have their own ideas towards certain issues but just have to compromise. Those are the reasons why I think teenagers face the most challenges of all.
托福口語task1三選一題型
托??谡Z的獨立題task1,我把它稱作“freestyle環(huán)節(jié)”,因為沒有固定的回答模式,內(nèi)容可以多種多樣,發(fā)揮空間很大,但這也給考生造成不小的麻煩,如:選擇太多不知說哪個好,很容易想出回答但說不詳細等等。這樣一來,“自由”反倒變成了“束縛”。除了常規(guī)的“人事地物”四大類話題之外,近年來的考試中出現(xiàn)了越來越多的“三選一”題型,讓許多“選擇困難癥患者”頭疼不已。
在這里,我們不妨看幾個簡單易用的拓展步驟,來搞定這些“三選一”題型。
一, 果斷選擇最了解的那個
以今年7月份的一道task1考題為例,Which of the following areas should government invest money in? education, health, space exploration. “政府投資”本來就是同學們比較陌生的話題,而在教育、健康、太空探索三個話題中,我相信大部分同學會選擇教育或者健康, 因為這兩個話題是日常生活中經(jīng)常涉及的??荚囍?5秒鐘的準備時間相當有限,不光要快速做決定,還要抽出部分時間思考例子,所以容不得絲毫糾結(jié)。
二, 五秒鐘完成開頭句
首先,請記住第一句話一定要先把觀點表述清楚,并且開頭句一定要做到無比熟練,諸位考生可以反復訓練開頭句的表達,一般來說,應該做到五秒鐘以內(nèi)熟練搞定,如上題, 我們拿健康為例,開頭可以說Personally,I think government should invest money inhealth.如果開頭句時??ぃ敲次ㄓ邢窬毩暲@口令一般,反復訓練,熟能生巧。
三, 拿生活經(jīng)歷來舉例
如果我們有與話題相關(guān)的經(jīng)歷,那么可以說Take my experience as an example.或者,I remember once…, 多用第一人稱表達,如I/we/me/us/my/our.舉例方式很簡單,就像小學時老師教我們記敘文三要素那樣,時間、地點、人物,只要提供這些基本的信息,再稍加潤色,我們的例子就可以很豐富。
還是拿上面這道“政府投資”為例,sample answer: Take my experience as an example, last year, the government in my hometown invested on a health program to provide people with free medical service. In this program, doctors went to ourcommunity to measure blood pressure for residents and offered some advice on our daily diet in order to help us improve fitness level. This program really benefited us a lot.
時間,last year, 地點,my hometown, our community, 人物:doctors, residents
(詞匯:
medical service 醫(yī)療服務
blood pressure 血壓
residents n. 居民)
然而,如果我們沒有相關(guān)經(jīng)歷,也沒關(guān)系,說說自己身邊的人,或者干脆說的籠統(tǒng)一些,描述對象為people或者一類人群,諸如children/teenagers/adults/young people/elderly people.
例如, It would be definitely beneficial for elderly people if government could invest more money on health projects. As we all know, elderly people tend to be more vulnerable and they often suffer from all kinds of health problems.
These health projects could enable them to enjoy good nursing care service and have a better life quality.
例子中描述的是老年人群體 elderly people, 并不涉及具體對象。
(詞匯:
beneficial adj.有益的
vulnerable adj.易受傷害的
nursing n. 護理)
綜上所述,同學們只要在平時的練習中養(yǎng)成習慣,在遇到三選一題型時便不至于亂了方寸,還是那句話,考場45秒鐘,場外許多功,希望各位考生多加操練,在task 1遇到三選一題型時能夠得心應手。
托??谡Z三選一題型要不要反駁另外兩點
最近的托??荚囍校谡ZT1經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)3選1類型的題。這類題學生們有一個最關(guān)心的問題:我在說其中之一好的時候,還要不要再說下另外二個的不好呢?
按理來說,我們只說其中之一為什么好就足夠了;而且我自己在考場上也經(jīng)常這樣答,還是照樣拿到GOOD。
但“究竟要不要反駁另外2點”,更多是看題目的問法。
今天我將通過以下幾道機經(jīng)題,跟大家說明下“ 怎么把3選1題的答題思路整理好并且避免答題誤區(qū)”。
第一類:建議不反駁另外2點
例1:Your school has a program that allows students to visit workplaces. What place would you choose to observe and learn about?
1.A science laboratory 2. A business office 3. A television studio
易出錯點:題干問的是你為什么想去那里observe和learn about,所以我們常用的這個地方“能have fun”或者“讓我relaxed”的理由在這里都不適用。
解題思路:我會從學知識的角度出發(fā),比如因為我今后想去 business school(商科院校),那么選business office能幫我提前積累相關(guān)經(jīng)驗。另外2個,同理。
所以在作答的時候,大部分時間都花在了“相關(guān)經(jīng)驗的具體化”上面了,不太可能有時間再去反駁另外2個。
例2:Which of the following activities do you consider most enjoyable for a Saturday afternoon?
1. play sports game 2. be with friend 3. cook at home
易出錯點:如果我選擇play sports game,題目問的是“enjoyable”,那理由用maintain a good health 就不合適。因為保持健康更像是解釋“它為什么重要”而非“它為什么讓我享受”。但如果題目是這樣問的:Which of the following activities do you prefer the most on a Saturday afternoon?雖然這2道題很像,但后者沒有問你具體“圖什么”,所以這里你就可以說“maintain a good health”。所以也再次提醒大家一定要注意審題!
解題思路:選體育鍛煉的話,“to make me relaxed”是一個很好的理由,因此我會用更多的細節(jié)來具體化“進行體育鍛煉是如何讓我放松的”,同樣不會提及另2個。
第二類:建議著重反駁另外2點
例1:If you were to study a new form of art, which would you choose?
1. Wood sculpture 2. Portrait 3. Photography
解題思路:假如我們選photography,我認為這種題從正面說“它為什么好”會不太好說,因為我們考生大部分都是非專業(yè)者,具體細節(jié)很難給出來,導致答題沒有說服力。但如果我選擇說另外兩方的缺點,比如“wood sculpture和Portrait太難了,需要a good foundation of art,而我沒有,所以我學不會”,就會好說很多。
例2:Science / romantic/ horrible movies 你會選哪個?
解題思路:我會選romantic movies,其實理由很簡單,我覺得不費腦。但我發(fā)現(xiàn)這個理由很難具體化、并且另外2類的特點又特別鮮明,所以這種情況下,我就會選擇說另外2個如何不好??苹妙愲y理解、讓我confused,恐怖片我會be afraid of horrible things,對比之下,我選擇愛情片。
托??谡Z之三選一話題分析
從前年開始,托??谡Z獨立題型中就開始陸陸續(xù)續(xù)出現(xiàn)了三選一這種類型的話題,三選一的話題,讓考生在短時間內(nèi)更有方向,更有選擇范圍,同時也加大了考試難度。不少考生覺得三選一話題容易陷入陷阱,即第一印象覺得某一個選項很好說,真正開始講的時候,卻磕磕絆絆,很不流暢。琥珀光速語言學校Kelvin老師通過下面的一道例題,給大家講講這種題目,該如何在短時間內(nèi)突破,請大家看下下面的例題:
Which of following do you think is the bestway for you to maintain your health----exercising on a regular basis, eatinghealthy, or getting enough sleep?
其實這個問題的核心內(nèi)容是,以下三種方式,哪一種是最好的能夠維持健康的方式,它雖然要求你說是最好的,也就是說你要講出你所選的這種方式能夠帶來的好處是其它兩類不能帶來的。清楚這一點后,需要緊扣中心,給出理由,如果隨隨便便找出一兩個來,首先自己這一關(guān)就過不去,很難再后續(xù)中表現(xiàn)出流利的口語表達來。
其實清楚了這道題的思路后,大家會發(fā)現(xiàn)getting enough sleep是比較好說的,因為如果沒有g(shù)ood sleep, 很難去進行鍛煉或者擁有良好的飲食習慣。選擇了sleep后,我們就開始羅列理由了。第一,Enough sleep can bring enough vitality or energy we need for a day. 第二,Enoughsleep can reduce percentage of heart disease or high blood pressure. 羅列兩點就可以了,然后針對其中一點舉例,進行充分說明。譬如第一條理由,可以舉例自己曾經(jīng)熬夜奮斗考試,結(jié)果考試時候睡著了,得不償失等等。大家清楚了么?
