搞定托福口语“书籍”类话题思路转换

托福口语task 1和task 2中，经常出现书籍类的话题，比如描述一本你比较喜欢的杂志/小说，描述一本你小时候喜欢看的书，描述一本对于你来说比较有用的书，等等。如果遇到这类的话题，同学们该怎么组织语言呢?怎么样在保证口语答案说够45秒的前提下，内容上还能丰满一些?

　　我们都知道托福独立口语的准备时间非常少，只有短短的15秒钟，那在这有限的时间里，我们可以想到哪些内容来描述书籍呢?今天小编就来给大家支支招~

　　首先我们要明白一个道理：托福口语对考生逻辑论述能力要求比较高，需要我们在提供观点时，解释清楚原因，提供例子和细节去支持原因。

　　我们来看一个经典Task 1，来自TPO1：

　　Talk about a book you read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to support your answer.

　　这个题就是需要考生描述一本重要的书籍，还要给出重要的理由。在这里，我们要知道，考官并不真的在乎我们要说的书是什么!题目需要我们展示的是书为什么重要、如何重要，并不一定要讲述书的内容。只要我们在答题时留言流畅，和话题相关就可以得到不错的分数。

　　所以小编教大家的换思路大法是：

　　w 谈感受

　　例如：故事很有趣，我们可以这么说：The story in the book was so interesting and appealing that once I began to read it, I couldn’t stop. /The book was so fun to read that I couldn’t help laughing every time I read it. It brought me a lot of happiness.

　　再或者：故事很有意义，我们可以这么说：The story in the book was not only exciting but also inspiring. It taught me so much about the world we were living and showed me different ways people thought. /The story was meaningful and inspiring. It taught me to keep going and never give up, which is the most important lesson in life.

　　w 谈功能

　　例如：书本可能会对你的学业有帮助，我们可以说：The book is beneficial to my academic learning. It provides much extra information on my major courses in addition to school textbooks.

　　又或者：此书还可能帮你交到朋友：To be honest, I met my girlfriend thanks to this book. We were sitting in the reading room next to each other and reading the same book! What a coincidence! Then we began to talk about how much we liked the writer and his books. Next thing you knew, she gave me her number!

　　说到这里，有些学生会说“那我想不出来什么书怎么办?”没关系，我们可以make up一本书，或者随便挑一本你知道的但没看过的书(考官并不是博学到什么书都看过~)。因为我们在前面说过了，考官不需要你说出书的具体内容，所以你看没看过都没关系，只要能自信的“侃侃而谈”，谈谈感受，谈谈功能，流畅地说够45秒，这个任务也就圆满完成啦~
