托福口语独立题的准备时间只有15秒,是令很多考生都头痛的存在,因此,练习好开头句将会有效地帮助考生们在考试时节省宝贵的思考时间。
独立口语的问题可以分为3种类型,下面我们通过题目来做个简单的了解。
选择
这一类的问题通常由两到三部分组成:问题+选择;背景句+问题+选择;
1.Whichdoyouthinkisbetter?Decidingonyourmajorbeforeenteringcollegeoraftertakingsomecourses?(问题+选择;)
2.Youhavebeenverybusyandunabletopreparefortheexamtomorrow.Youcaneitherstayuplatetostudyandsleeplessorjuststudylessandgetfullnight’ssleep.Whichwillyouchoose?(背景句+选择+问题;)
Tips
选项一般是二选一或者三选一,因为已经给出了选择,所以建议考生在确定话题这个问题上不要花费太多时间,迅速在选项里选择自己最为熟悉的就好;
如果有背景句,最好把背景句融进开头句。
开头大法:
Whengiventhechoicebetween…or…,Iwoulddefinitelychoosetheformer/latter.
Well,ifIhavetochoose,Iprefer…ratherthan…
I’dsayit’sbetterto…
示范:
Whengiventhechoicebetweenstayinguplatetostudyfortheexamorgettingfullnight’ssleep,Iwoulddefinitelychoosethelatter.
Well,ifIhavetochoose,Iprefertogetfullnight’ssleepratherthanstayuplatetostudyfortheexam.
I’dsayit’sbettertostudylessandgetfullnight’ssleep.
同不同意
题目中给出一个陈述句,问考生是否同意该观点。
1.Doyouagreeordisagreewiththefollowingstatement?Itisnotacceptabletointerruptsomeonewhenheorsheistalking.
2.Doyouagreeordisagreewiththefollowingstatement?Studentsshouldbeallowedtotakeadditionalcoursestograduateassoonaspossible.
Tips
为节省时间,直接看观点句即可;
回答可以是肯定态度、否定态度、部分同意或否定。
开头大法:
Iagree(disagree)withthestatementthat...
Ientirelyapprove(disapprove)/believethat…
Ido(don't)thinkit’sagoodidea/thingto
示范:
Iagreewiththestatementthatitisnotacceptabletointerruptsomeonewhenheorsheistalking.
Ientirelyapprove/believethatitisnotacceptabletointerruptsomeonewhenheorsheistalking.
Idon'tthinkit’sagoodthingtointerruptsomeonewhenheorsheistalking.
开放式
提问多为特殊疑问句,问题需要考生具备描述能力。
1.Talkaboutafestivalduringwhichpeoplegiveoneanothergiftsinyourcountry.Whattypesofgiftspeopleusuallygiveandwhy?
2.Whatisthebiggestchallengeforuniversitystudentsandwhy?
Tips:
开放式提问是同学们比较头痛的一种,因为在考试时间有限的情况下,很难迅速想到一个合适的话题,所以同学们平时要多积累;
最简单的是直接将问题改述成陈述句。
开头大法:
I’dliketointroduce/talkabout...
Thefirstthingcametomymindis...
示范:
I‘dliketointroduce/talkabouttheValetine'sDay.
ThefirstthingcametomymindistheValetine'sDay.
Thebiggestchallengeforuniversitystudentsistimemanagement.
