口语托福万能话题

口语托福万能话题

对于不同的口语话题，如何能够利用一个万能的段子，搞定一类话题呢?

人物题要分类讨论

我们首先给人物题分分类。

主要分为两种：普通人【ordinary people】和名人【celebraties】。

今天，先详细讲讲第一种——普通人。

普通人里面，ETS主要考察五种人，我们直接看一下往年的真题：

1 What characteristics do you think a good neighbor should have?【邻居】

2 What do you think makes someone a good parent?【家人】

3 Describe a special friend in your childhood.【朋友】

4 Talk about your favorite teacher.【老师】

5 What qualities do you think a good leader should have?【领导】

答题时只需围绕

一个品质展开

对于一个普通人来说，我们在进行回答的时候只需要围绕一个品质展开讨论，就可以套用到任何普通人的题目中去。

也就是说，准备段子时，普通人的准备原则就是2个形容词2个例子。

这些品质可以有：hard-working, intelligent, a sense of humor, brave, helpful, a sense of responsibility, knowledgeable等等。

比如，我们选取乐于助人【helpful】这个品质，那么老师、家长、上司、朋友、邻居这五类人都可以使用;

例子也可以通用，比如出差的时候照看孩子或者宠物这个例子就可以用于这五类人。

我们下面以刚刚提到的第四题作为例题来分析一下。

Talk about your favorite teacher. Using specific details and examples to explain why you like her.

☞首先第一步，我们需要决定我们的描述对象。

这里我们选择英语老师-I really like my English teacher in my high school.

☞第二步，我们需要简单的对这个人进行一下描述。

上面提到的描述的切入点很多，注意只要不跟我们的理由点重合便可。

比如，她教英语已经10年了-she's been teaching English in our high school for ten years.

* 小tip：我们对描述对象进行描述的时候，建议使用定语从句，用一个who来引出描述切入点。上面的描述就变成了：I really like my English teacher in my high school who has been teaching English for more than ten years.这样的回答比你单句的回答要“高大上”很多，能让考官看到你的英语水平。*

☞第三步，我们想一个理由点。

比如我们选择creativity.这个老师的课很有趣，她比较创新。

于是我们的分论点就变成:

I like her mainly because she's really creative and her class is really interesting.

☞第四步，我们开始举例子或者作比较。

可以讲一次有趣的上课经历，比如老师上课让我们分组做游戏，赢了的小组可以赢得奖品;

也可以列举一下这个老师的上课风格，然后提出另一个老师的上课跟他作对比。

这样，一个结构完整的回答就准备好了：

Well, personally speaking, I really like my math teacher Linda, mainly because her class is interesting and I could really learn a lot. She divided us into several groups and gave up a lot of time of discuss one specific topic which is cool. And we could do some game in the class like spelling bee and stuff. Most importantly, she assigned us presentation tasks rather than the rigid written assignments which are boring. As a result we can only be in learning math but also practice the communication skill. So she is my favorite teacher.

注：斜体部分是要留意的地方，回答的时候加进去这些内容【情感态度词、详细的列举、逻辑连词等】，能让文章听起来更自然、更有说服力，考官听了也不会觉得很单薄。

但是!

这样的回答，如果发音不错也只能拿到3分【fair】;如果发音差一点那就只2分【limited】左右了。

为什么?

问题就出在了我一直跟大家强调的ETS口语评分标准之一语言使用【language use】上面。

单词的选择没有问题，没有使用写作词汇，很自然。

但是，语法问题就比较多了。

首先，时态问题。整个文章的展开都是一般说明，不存在过去时态，所以划线部分的过去时态都应该改成一般现在时态。

其次，短语及各种搭配用法不当。如give up是放弃，这里只有“给”的意思，所以改成give;of discuss这里根据句意应该是to discuss;assignment应该是复数形式，和前面的tasks平行;not only...but also没有用对。

把这些问题都改正一下，其实就是一个满分的版本了：

Well, my favorite teacher is my English teacher in my high school, who has been teaching English for ten years. I like her mainly because her class is really interesting. I could really learn a lot in the class. I mean, she would spilt us up into several groups and give each group a specific topic to talk about; she also let us take part in in-class games where we could be rewarded, like getting a bar of chocolate or something if we win. We could remember all those English words and grammar while enjoying the games and stuff. Most teachers, however, will do all the talking in the class, which is boring and it seriously makes me feel sleepy.

加粗部分显示了整个文章的逻辑：简单又清晰。

下划线部分能够看出对人物的描述和对事情的细化。

下面我们再来看另一类常考人物——名人。

这次同样要给大家讲一讲：

1.应对此类题的方法

2.针对此类题Fiona常套用的万能段子。

我们先看一下往年的考试题目：

1 Describe your favorite movies star or singer.

2 Talk about two different singers.

3 Talk about a character in a movie or book you like.

4 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: the opinions of celebrities such as famous actors or athletes have positive impact on young people.

对于这样的题目，我们的破题方法和普通人的破题方法一样。

对于名人的回答一般理由点可以从两个方面展开：个人成就和个人品质。

☞ 个人成就：如果是歌手，我们可以谈论专辑数目、粉丝数量、是否原创等;如果是演员，我们可以讨论电影类型、表演特色、获得奖项等。

☞ 个人品质：又回归到了普通人的品质中去，如a sense of humor, have responsibilities, easy-going等。
