托福口语既要不断的练习与积累,也有一定的技巧,为了帮助考生们更加有效的备考托福,出国留学网托福考试栏目为大家提供“2016托福口语常考话题分析:person话题”,希望考生们能有所收获。
题目:
Do you agree or disagree with the statement that people's personality never change?
思路提示:
1.此话题属于生活类常见考题,重点论述人的性格是否永远不会改变。
2.可以从一个方面说,就是人的性格不会改变,因为生活比较平顺,没有促使改变的因素。也可以从另一面出发,人的性格会改变,可以强调人会随着环境的改变而变化。也可以运用辩证的观点,分析哪些情况下不改变,哪些情况下会改变。
使用结构答题方法:一边倒答法
可套用模板:
Some people ___________, others ___________. However, I think ___________. And there are a couple of reasons to name.
The most important thing is that ___________. ___________.
What’s more ___________. ___________.
So that’s why ___________.
模板解释:
Task 2的一边倒答法和Task 1的平行结构类似,即一开头开门见山指出核心观点。之后随即给出两个理由,因为时间有限,一般在两个理由(在时间允许的情况下,可以用三个)论述之后,分别用两句话进行拓展,语速快程度好的学生可以用三句短句进行拓展。该结构特点是信息量陈述完善和细致。
常用词组/句型:
1.Some people think … However, I believe that
2.Firstly, …
3.Secondly …
范文:
❶ Some people think people's personality never change. however, I believe that personality will gradually change with maturity and knowledge accumulation, there are some natures influencing most of us. ❷ Firstly, we love money. ❸ Money secures my daily life. In the contemporary society in wide advocating of materialism, one can never live without money for expenses like clothing, food, accommodation, transport and entertainment. A high salary thus ensures a better foundation. ❹ Secondly, we’re self-centered. ❺ We ask “what do I like” and “how do I feel”, but seldom wonder what others like and how they feel. ❻ They are human natures, part of everyone’s personality, and rarely change.
答案解析:
Prefer B (10″):
先阐述和自己观点对立的人认为人的个性不会改变。随后,用however表明自己的观点认为人的个性会随着成熟度和知识的积累而改变。这种观点对比的方法在task 2的开头非常常见。
Reason 1 & Reason 2 (各5″):
❷和❹是我认为人的性格会改变的两个原因,分别是we love money, we’re self-centered 。切记在reason句中要突出关键词,并用一句话概括。
Details 1(10″):
❸是对❷中理由的具体扩充。金钱会保障人的日常生活,现代社会相对物质,人是不能离开金钱的,这属于对reason句中关键词的详细解释。
Details 2(10″):
❺和❻是❹的展开说明,指出人们比较自我,更注重自己的感受,这是人性,因此很难发生变化。使得we’re self-centered更加地具体。
