托福口语Task1四类话题整合及思路整理 托福口语当中，task 1，2作为independent tasks，是很多考生比较头疼的问题。虽然它相较于后面的integrated tasks来说形式简单，给你一句话的题目直接说出你的思路即可，但是它所涉及到的知识面是非常广泛的，甚至会涉及到我们之前完全没有思考过的领域，甚至是不熟悉的领域。这就要求着我们在复习的时候对于不同话题的思路整理，包括相似话题的整合、以及陌生话题的思路扩展。 Task 1无非就是让我们描述一个与我们生活息息相关的一些事物，我们较为常见的一些话题可以简单来说归纳为四个字母——“OPPE”，及O(object), P(person), P(place), E(event)。 一、object类话题 根据以往常出的题目总结来看，object往往可以分为tangible object(有形物体)以及intangible object(无形无体)。 Tangible object，顾名思义我们能够看得见摸得着的实物，除了一些比较常规的special gift，meaning object之外，还包括出题者最爱考的一些关于book类的话题，即让我们描述最喜欢看的、或是读过的最有意义的一本书。另外，较为常见的一些题目还包括描述a song, a film, a painting, a photograph等题目。在这样的题目当中，很多同学因为不知道要说什么或是不熟悉这样的事物导致完全说不出或是表述不流利，结结巴巴说不到重点。在遇到此类题目，一个比较简单的思路就是不要纠结于一些大家都要知道的名著，我们完全可以从自己比较熟悉的一些话题展开，如自己画的第一幅全家福。另外，尽量避免每个人都在讲的一些话题，比如大部分人都在说《Harry Potter》，那我们如果换成《How to win friends》会不会好很多呢?一定不要给自己挖坑，怎么便于表述怎么来。 至于intangible object，较为常考的有让我们去描述positive invention，favorite subject，important characteristic等话题。在这里还是一样，就我们容易表述的说，每个想法列出两个关键词，再去展开就可以了，在这里表述以简单易懂为主，千万不要说一些高深曲折的大道理。掌握了这些素材之后，object类题目就没问题了。所以建议在考试之前，先把所有可能会考到的题目先过一遍，想到要说什么就已经成功了一半了。 二、person类话题 Person类话题在task 1的考试中形式不多，总结起来无非两类人，一种是我们比较熟悉的在我们身边的人，例如family member, best friend, favorite teacher, an old person you respect 等，由于这些都是我们较为熟悉的，所以比较容易想到，在表述的时候也较为简单。相对来说会有一定难度的就是第二类人——famous person名人了。在task 1，它有可能让你去描述一位你钦佩、喜欢或是想见面的名人，甚至给你规定一定领域。这是如果碰到一些不关注这一领域的就不太好说了。比如一些女生平时对体育不感兴趣，但考试的时候让你去描述一个你最喜欢的足球选手，那可能一下子就懵圈了。但是遇到这样的题目也不用怕，在我们备考时完全可以提前准备好相关素材，在考试的时候也不是任何领域都会考我们，常见的也就actor/actress, singer, spotsman, business man, leader这几类，所以就算我们不喜欢不感兴趣，只要我每个领域都想出来一个人就完全没有问题啦。 在这里给到两个我们凡事涉及到人都非常通用的一些素材思路，一是表述ta在专业领域上的卓越表现。比如ta是歌手，我们说ta歌唱得好，是演员我们说ta演技精湛，是商人我们说ta把公司

What charactereristics do you think a good teacher should have?（06. 3.3; 07. 11.3考题）
Sample answer： In my view, a good teacher should have different characteristics. First, a good teacher should be faithful and dedicated to the job. If a teacher is faithful to the job, then s/he never cheats and will be impartial（偏向）and students will respect such a teacher. If a teacher is dedicated towards his/her work, then s/he will teach with his/her heart. Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience. Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly. A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way. Most of all, a good teacher should update his/her knowledge ‘cause further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession. 2. What are important characteristics you look for in friends?（06. 5.12; 06. 6.24; 07.1.27考题） Sample answer： I think what makes a good friend is someone who is honest, supportive, and has a good sense of humor. I just look for someone who's honest to me no matter what. He should not tell stories behind my back; he should tell me my short-comings at my mouth, but never praises me in front of me. It is a well known saying that "A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED." Therefore, a friend should stand by you in the hour of any sort of need. I just think that a good friend won't leave me if I'm in trouble. They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade, care for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great. Also, I'd love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around. 3. Describe a person that influenced you most.（06. 5.26; 06. 3. 17；06.10.22考题；与06.5.26类似） Sample answer： The person that really influenced me most was Ms. Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature. Her class was quite different from the other teachers. In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen. We had to get more involved in the class activities, like discussions, comments or debates sometimes. Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation. On the other hand, she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly, she taught me how to live on my own. So that's why I was greatly influenced. Not only did she give me knowledge, but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.

破解IBT口语-23分并不难--序ＩＩ 在介绍人任何经验以前，先给大家推荐一篇文章，偶是考前１０天才看到，有点想见恨晚的感觉，也就是这个帖子，让偶领悟到如何准备口语效果最佳。 请大家好好看，领悟这个帖子的精华所在，这个时间绝对值！看完了偶再介绍技巧！ 下面转贴：（非原创） IBT speaking一二两题.无敌备考方法 新托福口语考试得分标准：1、详细具体（空洞的形容词和花哨的句子结构不能得分）； 2、词汇量和语法现象要多； 3、规定时间内尽可能说快一点，多说一点，信息量大一点。我深深知道，中国学生缺乏大量的语言环境，在仅有15至30秒的准备时间内要完美地做到以上几点是基本不可能的。那么，是不是要因为一个小小的口语考试就放弃我们在加州的阳光下散步的权利呢？当然不会！既然我们不能依赖于现场发挥，那么就通过平时准备，来大大减低现场难度要求。其核心就是——转化原则，在充分领会转化原则的基础上，创建自己的模板，以精练的短句，清楚的表达为主。独立口语题破解（一）新托福口语考试六大题型中的第一种是问你一个你所熟悉的人、地方、东西或者事件，你需要在回答中加入具体的例子和细节。例如：choose a place you like and explain why you like this place.请看看袁老师是怎么回答的：Well, the place I enjoy the most is a small town located in France. I like this small town because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.Of course I like this small French town also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I have been benefited a lot from this trip to France because I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship.看出奥妙来了吗？1、这个回答里用的全部是口语化的短句子；2、按照正常的语速念完正好是45秒；3、出现了多处非常具体的细节描写（得分点）。 4、有景色描写（beach）、有人物(French girls)、有事件(make friends)，有具体事物（a watch）。为何如此设计，等一下就会讲到。然后让我们换一个题目再看看，还是用这些内容怎么进行回答：题目：Choose a restaurant you like and explain why you like this restaurant参考答案：Well, the restaurant I enjoy the most is a French restaurant located on a beautiful beach. I like this small restaurant because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.Of course I like this small French restaurant also because it offers the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I made friends with some gorgeous French girls in that restaurant. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship. 在新托福口语考试中，本题型能够涉及到的范围包括事件、人物、具体事物和地方。现在你是不是开始有些明白为什么袁老师的口语模板要包括人、地、事、物？然后我们再来做一些难度稍大的扩展训练，看看转化原则是怎么能够帮助我们以不变应万变。Choose an important event/ a favorite activity and give reasons explaining why this event is important/ why this activity is your favorite. 从抽象的事物转化成具体的景色描写Well, one very important event in my life/my favorite activity is a little trip to France. I like this trip so much because we visited a small French town. The town has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.Of course I like this little trip to France also because there
