托福口语话题人物类整理

人物类话题是托福口语考题中比较容易考到的一类题，但是如何掌握人物类性格特质?

首先，考生们要树立起信心，其实托福口语中的人物类话题是非常好拿分的，因为说通俗一点，托福口语是按点给分。也就是说，考生只要回答的在“点”上，就有分。那么，什么叫在“点”上呢?我们拿Describe a famous person who has influenced you much.一题来作为例子。

关于托福口语中的人物类话题考生首先需要回答这个人是谁，人物基本信息，然后对如何影响你作出解释，通常需要阐释两点，这样就能赚取四分之三的分数了。其实要想达到满分是比较困难的，满分要求考生的综合素质，包括语音、语调、语速、流畅度、对于时间的把握、连贯性等等。这需要长时间的锻炼积累才能达到，所以准备期较短的考生应先设法抓住四分之三的分数。要想抓住这四分之三的分数，考生需要首先更新一下自己的词库，从而避免一些俗套的表达，让自己石沉大海。独立口语题多让考生描述一个人是如何影响你或者为什么对你来说重要，这需要考生对人物的性格特点进行描述，搭配相应的事例，进行解释。对于人物性格特质的描述有很多种，以下是考生可常用的一些加分表达：

amicable, amiable, benign 友好友善的，亲切的，aspiring 有志气的，有抱负的，dynamic 生机勃勃的，enthusiastic 热心的，faithful 守信的，忠诚的，frank 坦率的，forceful 【性格】坚强的，honest 诚实的，humorous 幽默的，independent 有主见的，industrious 勤奋的，trustworthy 可信赖的，sincere 真诚的，motivated 有动力的，responsible 负责任的，determined 坚定的，persevere 坚持不懈的，cooperative 合作的，strong-willed 意志坚定的

考生从中挑选两到三个形容词，加以事例支持，就可以把人物鲜活地描述出来了。

除此之外，各类人物应具备的特征也是托福口语中的人物类话题之一。具体地说，对于一些职业，如医生、教师、主持人、运动员，一些人物关系，如朋友、家长、领导等，考生要积累掌握一些相关的表达。前文中提到的一些形容词都可以用来作为这类题目的回答要点，比如医生要具备responsibility责任和trustworthiness信赖可靠，考生抛出两个关键词，各自进行解释和举例，就完成任务了。

托福口语中的人物类话题还有一种常考题型，就是三选一。题目中给出三个选项，让考生选出认为最重要或最喜欢的一个，进行阐述和解释。例如，Which do you think is the most important one to you: family, friends or colleagues? Explain why. Please include details and examples in your response. 这是非常典型的三选一考题，考生只需选取其一说明原因和事例即可。但往往最为难考生的就是如何阐述原因。很多考生选择family，但原因是什么却很难想到，他们觉得家人重要就是重要，没有为什么。这当然无可厚非，但考生要知道的是，如果回答不出为什么，甚至有考生回答no reason，结果一般是不理想的。其实仔细想想，家庭、朋友等的重要性并不难说，只是我们同学不善于总结和发现，所以在这里老师就为大家总结了一些考生们可用的素材：

家庭的重要性：

1. Family provides a sense of belonging. It gives identity and provides support and security.

2. Your family is made up of the people you care about and the people who care about you.

3. Family counts. It’s where you start. It shapes you and nurtures you.

4. The family members support one another, trust one another, care for each other when things get tough, and share their resources.

5. Families are a source of emotional support and comfort, warmth and nurturing, protection and security.

6. Family instils discipline and helps children learn and internalize codes of conduct that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

7. The family instructs children and gives guidance about personal values and social behavior.

8. Family relationships provide children with a critical sense of being valued and with a vital network of historical linkages and social support.

9. Family is a place where each member feels that he or she is special and is encouraged to pursue his or her own dreams; it is a place where everyone’s individuality is permitted to flourish.

?朋友的重要性：

1. Friendship provides a critical buffer against stress and helps to protect against psychological and psychiatric problems.

2. Difficulty in making and keeping friends leads to feelings of low self-esteem and these feelings usually continue into adulthood.

3. Friendship is a wonderful thing and is vitally important for personal growth and success.

4. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you.

5. When you are happy, friendship is just like adding flowers on the brocade; when you are sad, friendship is a dose of consolation; if you are in trouble, friends will surround you and remove the barriers for you; if you have a hard nut to crack, you can turn to friends for help.

6. Friendship isn’t almighty, but no one can live happily without it.

托福口语人物类话题题目练习

经典美国总统篇- 1. George Washington

托福口语考试在近1年的考试中逐渐加大了对人物类话题的侧重，在2014年当中占到了36%，这种趋势会一直持续到我们2015年考试中，那么既然人物类的话题可以说是这些年考试的重中之重，2014年又有近三分之一的独立口语话题涉及到人物类的话题，那么我们怎样才能回答出一个不一样的，属于自己的答题模板呢，同学请稍作等待，人物类话题的种子我们稍后放出，咱们先来看一道题

Describe a person you admire

这道题相信咱们考托的学生非常熟悉吧，描述一个你赞美的人，但每当我听到这道题的答案时：爸爸，妈妈，叔叔，婶婶，奶奶，爷爷，内容呢?无非就是善良，耐心，warm-hearted， 甚至有学生我敬仰的原因是扶老太太过马路，好吧，说爸爸妈妈这样做倒也罢了，你竟然说佩服爷爷扶一个老奶奶过马路，估计爷爷光是想想就已经醉了

那么，言归正题，我们需要说一个不同于大众的答案，还是要有深度的答案，那该说谁呢?作为ETS的考试来说，当然，说一个全美国人都熟悉的人吧

----他就是美国总统 Coming—George Washington 乔治.华盛顿

来看看华盛顿先森都做过那些令人敬仰的事情吧，我们好从当中选择一个Reason， 作为我们的Reason1

1. 华盛顿是是美国的’国父’，且华盛顿是美国的首任总统

2. 1775-1783年美国独立战争’总司令’

3. 1776年主导发表’独立宣言’

再来选择发生在他身上的一个小事-樱桃树--Reason2

小时候的华盛顿得到一把斧头，华盛顿拿着这把斧头，看到了后院中的一颗樱桃树，就把树砍掉了，而这棵树是他爸爸最喜爱的东西，在询问华盛顿是否砍掉树之后，华盛顿勇敢的承认了，但是爸爸并没有责备他，而是表扬了小华盛顿的诚实

总结为华盛顿的特点为

1. 诚实-樱桃树

The first reason that I admire GW is because of his honesty.

I learned a story about GW. he is a person who is not disposed to cheat, and he believes that the humans quality should deem truth as an essential value. Moreover, I also learned from him that admitting the mistake is not a bad thing, others will forgive you because of your honesty.

2. Not-Greedy

华盛顿是第一任美国总统，1789年就任，但他同时也是出自军队的总统，华盛顿从美国第一次独立战争以来，就强调自己的核心理念是民主，因此他对于自己的权力控制是有担心的，所以在美国的历史上，他开了一个非终身制总统的好头，也就是说，他始终认为，

1. 总统是由人民选出来的【军方出身不适合涉及政治】

2. 总统任期不超过两届，不然会对美国民主造成威胁【反例请参照我们的好盆友朝鲜民国-金氏家族思密达】。

总结来说，华盛顿的第二个优点就是—不贪

Second, GW told us that people should barely put ourselves and our needs on the forefront, when it comes to getting others needs met. He usually listen to the necessities of others. What is more, his life goal is not to get more and more of something he wants, but to focus on how to help others to get it.

好啦，我们到此为止，华盛顿的两个性格特点已经被我们描述完毕了，现在就来看看，诚实和不贪婪的性格特点能够使用在那些人物类的话题当中吧!

可套用题型

1. Describe a friend in your childhood.

2. Describe a family member.

3. Do you think teachers should make class fun?

4. Describe a person you admire
