很多同学在遇到跟book、movie、music相关的独立口语题目的时候除了会说可以陶冶情操之外再不会用其他的理由了，而可悲的是陶冶情操这个词在英文中很难找到对应的翻译;这样一来考生就被死死的卡在了这中题目上。其实如果我们仔细分析一下托福一二题的题目要求的话不难发现两个词examples and details，而如果合理的利用恰当的例子和细节此类题目迎刃而解。笔者看来，跟book、movie、music相关的题目中可以用放松身心、增加学习效率、让自己的生活变得更加充实等等来做example;并用书的名字、作者，音乐的种类、演唱者，电影的名字、剧情、演员的名字等来做details，这不仅让我们的答案变得更加真实更会使回答变得生动有趣。接下来我就以托福真题为例给大家提供关于以上话题的语料库包括必备段落、短语和词汇。
请看以下三道题目：
Describe a book that you believe is the most useful to you. Please explain the reason and include specific examples and details in your explanation.
Some people believe that the high school should teach music and art as other basic science. Some people think that providing music and art education for high school students is not necessary. What is your opinion and why?
Which is your favorite type of movie: action, drama, or others? Please include specific details and examples in your explanation.
不难发现以上三个题目中以不同形式出现了book、music、movie，如果大家对以下的语料库熟读并达到背诵的地步，以上类似题目绝不是问题。语料库如下：

就电影、音乐和书籍的作用和效果而言，小编总结了一下几个共同特点;所以当考生看到任何跟电影、音乐和书籍有关的题目时都可以巧妙的应用以下理由。

句子：
小说、电影的线索很迷人：
The storyline/plot is very attractive/engaging/intriguing;
看电影、读小说的时候身临其境忘乎所以：
When I read this masterpiece/watch this movie, I find time irrelevant and I totally forget about the time. I tune everything out around me and am so attracted in the storyline and I feel tied up to the character in the novel/movie.
没有什么可以阻止我看完这部小说或电影：
I feel like the characters in the novel/movie connect to me so much that nothing could hold me back from reading/watching it until I finish the novel/movie.
