独立口语
(By 张楚楚老师)
Task 1
Which of kind of method will you use to solve the misunderstanding between you and your friend?
题目翻译:
使用哪些方法可以缓解朋友间的误解?
题目解析:
本题的事件题考察的是人际关系的维系。若对于“误解”这个词未做系统准备,可以从朋友间的相处模式这一角度展开。即将题目转向:哪种方法可以用来维系友谊。若各位考生之前自行准备过,可以根据自己的素材,不予限定,言之有理,论证有理有据即可。这道题目和之前的托福独立旧题可关联的题目有:
1.A friend of yours is going to study at another university and he’s worried that he won’t be able to make any friends there. What suggestions would you give him and why?
2.Describe how you met a friend and why you became friends.
3.Is it important to have good manners in your interactions with other people? Give details and explanations to support your response.
答题思路:
方法1:make a compromise 作妥协
①有分歧时总要有妥协和让步;②及时考虑他人的想法,能使自己的思维更加全面系统;
方法2:communicate as soon as possible 及时沟通
①相互了解想法能够站在彼此的立场看问题(take on other’s shoes);②两个人都不说话,会营造尴尬紧张的氛围(embarrassment),不利于矛盾缓解和问题解决;
方法3:try to be polite 礼貌得体
①学会用恰当的表达说明自己的观点,让人更容易接受一些,例如使用一些委婉语(euphemism);②用争吵去解决误解,只会让矛盾激化,因此要让自己的行为足够令人舒服和愉悦,不要说极端的话以及口不择言(speak with thinking)。
模板参考:
I should say, there are two possible ways for me to solve the misunderstanding. First of all, when the conflict comes out, try to communicate with your friends as soon as possible. If we don’t try on other’s shoes, we would see the problem only by our limited perspective. For instance, once I quarreled with my roommates because she occupied the toilet for half an hour and I had the badly call. Then she realized my anger but without any reply. We didn’t talk to each other for two days. Indeed, it is in the class group discussion when we talked openly. At that time did I realize she had a serious stomach at that day! So, if you don’t want to be in embarrassment with people around you, I think the immediate communication is quite necessary.
Task 2
Which do you think is better? Deciding on your major before entering college or after taking some courses?
题目翻译:
下面哪个更合适,上大学前直接选定自己的专业?还是上了几门课后再决定?
题目解析:
本题是考察的范畴是“专业选择”,题目考察角度比较新,之前的考题多从专业选择的内容出题,如“最喜欢的学科是哪门?”。考生若对“选专业”类题目进行过准备,可以根据自己的素材,不予限定,言之有理,论证有理有据即可。若未准备,可以从专业的特点,自己的职业定位,可用的学校资源,对于学科的态度和观点多方面进行展开。当然同学们需要注意,和学科相关的话题,可以和专业前景稍加关联挂钩。
答题思路:
上大学之前选定专业:
① 对该专业兴趣盎然,已经做过很多系统的调研,可以直接选定
② 提高学习效率,不用在开学后对选专业花费太多时间
上了几门课再决定自己的专业:
① 对该专业已经有较深入的了解
② 可以询问学长学姐以及授课老师的意见
③ 通过学几节课,看看自己的进度和学习能力,决定自己是否适合
模板参考:
I definitely would choose to decide my major after taking several courses. Here are the couple of reasons to name. In the very first place, after attending a group of specialized courses, my understanding about the future career would become more profound. Nowadays, there are a lot of subjects sound attractive but do not conform to the name or the title. For example, the major called Civil Engineering. It is not relating to the people of a country, but the construction of roads, bridges as well as buildings. So if I had the opportunity, I would test my suitability of choosing my long-term major. For instance, whether I feel interested, or whether I can do the work related well, or else, whether I can get a good grade. The thorough comprehension is quite necessary.
独立写作
(By 王兰老师)
Many school require young children(aged 5-11)to work together in a small group instead of working alone to learn many activities. Do you think it is the best way to teach children?
这是一道比较类的题目,这种题型我们仍然按照“分类讨论+让步转折”去写。这道题的难点其实在于它已经规定了年龄5-11,这就切断我们按“小学生vs.中学生”这样简单粗暴的分类了。但是兵来将挡,我们还是有办法的,既然是5-10岁,我们就再细分一下,第一类是5-7岁,第二类是7-10岁,这个7岁临界点其实是幼儿园和小学的分界线。
这个分类其实来自于这样一个问题:Should Children go to Preschool?对于这问题大家也是各有见地,正方观点无外乎为培养孩子在集体生活的能力,具体可以写以下几点:
In preschool,
1.Children will learn many early social skills and manners
2.Children will realize that they are not the center of the universe
3.Children will begin to learn sharing, taking turns, following directions
4.Children will gain a sense of pride in their independence
5.Children will quickly and easily learn things like letters, numbers and other cognizant learning skills.
好了,回到这道题,我们是不是可以得到一些启发呢?
所以,这道题我们就分成 5-7岁vs. 7-10岁:让步段可以在上面的5个论点里面随便挑两个写,转折段相信睿智的同学们已经想出来了吧。不错,让步段就可以围绕“独立思考能力和培养个性”来写。
主体段落的主题句可参考以下:
让步段:Certainly, by no means can we underestimate the valid part of the statement in question especially when children aged five to seven are involved in this topic.
转折段:It is true that children should be required to work together in a small group, but applying this advice to all children is ungrounded, particularly for children aged seven to ten.
