新托福口语80道经典考题万能理由系列第二课
今天讲的第二条万能理由之所以用三个learn作为标题,是因为我们可以learn knowledge, learn skills, 也可以learn lessons或从某个experience里面去learn,成为某种learning experience.
很多情况下,knowledge和skills是不分家的:(第8题)Which of the following has more influence on you: newspaper, TV or teacher? 媒体类的newspaper或TV固然好讲,但teacher无疑是最佳的选择,因为teacher直接跟learning挂钩:
Teachers have more influence on me | |
Teach me knowledge and skills | ▪ attending class is the only effective way of learning ▪ knowledge not found in textbooks can be acquired ▪ learn practical skills in addition to academic knowledge |
在这里,teach和learn是正反两面一体的概念,并通过后面的三条分支理由,把教师在学习方面的影响力分析出来,尤其是最后一条中的academic knowledge和practical skills的结合,显得特别重要。
类似的解题思路还体现在:(第27题)People who attend college will be more successful in career than those who don’t. 显然,这是必须同意的命题:
Yes, it is generally true that attending college can increase thechance of career success | |
Learn a lot of vital skills and knowledge | ▪ academic knowledge helps to lay a solid foundation ▪ reading and writing skills are vital to career success ▪ having good presentation skills ensures promotion |
三条分支理由中比较好的表达有:lay a solid foundation, be vital to career success, ensure promotion. 分支理由越详细越好,因此提到了reading, writing and presentation skills等重要的学术技能。
除了学校场景之外,一些抽象话题也能运用learn knowledge and/or skills的思路来拓展: (第30题)Which do you prefer: to be a leader or a follower?
I prefer to be a leader for two main reasons | |
As a leader, I can learn many useful skills | ▪ presentation skills are absolutely necessary ▪ organization skills are also critical ▪ develop the ability to motivate and inspire |
接下来讲一道典型的learn lessons的题目:(第79题)The most important lesson can’t be learned in class. 命题中就有lesson,该词有双重含义:一、某一节课;二、经验或教训。可谓正中我们的下怀:
Yes, the most important lessons are often learned outside theclassroom | |
The lesson provided by personal misfortunes | ▪ life is full of bumps and barriers ▪ one canlearn a lot in times of crisis and tragedy ▪ discover the meaning of life |
课堂里面学习的是书本知识,课堂外的人生是个更大的学校,而人生中的一些不幸(personal misfortunes)会成为我们学习的起点,尤其是第二条分支理由里写的:one can learn a lot in times of crisis and tragedy.
再举一道通过experience来进行learning的题目:(第64题)When dealing with problems, do you prefer to get advice from family and friends or to learn through your personal experience? 我们毫不犹豫地选择后者:
Learning through personal experience is a better way to deal withproblems | |
Can learn much more through personal experience | ▪ some problems must be experienced on a personal level ▪ dealing with a crisis on your own forces you to think ▪ it is satisfying to overcome difficulties in your ownway |
综上所述,learn或learning是一个非常强大的万能理由,无论话题有多奇特,只要能跟learn knowledge, learn skills, learn lessons, learn from experience搭上边,就有十足的理由和信心拓展下去。最后再顺带一下:
▪ By visiting museums, young children can learn a lot of knowledge outside the classroom.
▪ Doing community service is a rewarding experience for young people who want to learn various work and social skills.
今天的题目是:
(第11题)Describe a place you like best in your city.
(第16题)Which literary form do you prefer: novels, magazines or poetry?
(第33题)If you have a chance to choose your job freely, what kind of job will you choose?
试着用learn, learn, learn来解题吧!
