新托福口语的Task 1和Task 2有80道经典考题,这就是传说中出题频率最高的“黄金80题”,这80题囊括了几乎所有常规题和部分另类题。其实这些口语经典考题的解题思路并非深不可测。我们经过精心梳理和思路分析,分析最常用的解题思路,发现了贯穿其中的若干万能理由。考生如果掌握了这些万能理由,就如同手上握有一串万能钥匙,可随意打开一扇又一扇通往托福口语高分的门。
今天开讲第一课,诸多“万能理由”中使用频次最高的——
万能理由之一:Expand one’s horizons
作为万能理由的第一条,expand one’s horizons绝对是不二之选。究其本意,单数的horizon是“地平线、海平线”的意思,但复数的horizons却指人们的“眼界、视野”,其英文注释为:the limit of your ideas, knowledge and experience. 其动词搭配一般有三个:expand, broaden, widen,都表示“拓展、拓宽、扩大”。略举一例:World history is a course of study that will broaden your horizons.
在黄金80题库中,可运用该思路组织话语的题目不胜枚举,从academic studies到traveling,从leisure activities到part-time jobs,几乎任何一个跟学生生活有关的话题,我们都可以用它作为一个颠扑不破的理由。
先看一个具体话题:(第10题)Should the government help to build more museums and theaters? 我们先给出肯定回答:Yes, I think the government should help to build more recreational facilities such as museums and theaters. 下面以表格的形式给出其中一条主干理由:enrich citizens’ cultural life(丰富公民的文化生活)
Yes, I think the government should help to build more recreationalfacilities | |
Enrich citizens’ cultural life | ▪ expand young people’s horizons ▪ have a place to go for fun on weekends ▪ art exhibitions can improve public taste |
在主干理由之下,有一条分支理由:expand young people’s horizons, 其根据是年轻人参观博物馆可以学到很多课堂中学不到的东西 —— For many young people, visiting museums is a unique experience that greatly expands their horizons because they can learn a lot of things outside the classroom.
再来看一个抽象话题:(第3题)Describe the most important decision in your life. 面对此类抽象话题,最佳的策略是将它具体化,变成一个常规的或日常生活的具体话题,然后套用我们的万能理由。因此,选择什么内容把它讲成the most important decision就变得格外重要。请看思路:I think I made the most important decision of my life by choosing to go to an overseas university after graduation from high school in China. 去海外上大学是绝大多数考生的既定选择,也是一个再普通不过的话题了,而其中的一条主干理由就是:it will broaden my horizons. 参见下表:
Choosing to go to an overseas university after graduation from highschool in China | |
Broaden my horizons | ▪ made friends with people from different backgrounds ▪ travelled a lot around Europe and North America ▪ visited various museums and historical places |
作为主干理由的broaden my horizons,之下又有made friends, travelled a lot, visited various museums等三条分支理由,思路极易展开。
再如(第15题)Choosing university location: big cities or small towns. 我们选择前者:I think a university located in a big city is a better choice. 其主干理由之一还是:widen students’ horizons. 表格如下:
I think a university located in a big city is a betterchoice | |
Widen students’ horizons | ▪ a big city has lots of museums, galleries and theaters ▪ there are many cultural events and social activities ▪ meet people from different ethnic backgrounds |
