人物类话题是托福独立口语部分常出现的话题之一,牛学君在这里为各位TOEFLer整理了托福独立口语人物类话题素材和一些万能话题素材,希望对各位的托福口语备考能有所裨益。
1.Being Humorous
素材:It occurs to me that Mr. Bean is the person who always makes me laugh. Mr. Bean rarely speaks, but his exaggerated/odd facial expressions usually make me burst into laughter. He usually misbehaves himself, for example, he once drops his coffee on a man’s laptop and then lets someone else take the blame. Besides, his ignorance of what’s going on around him also appears to be funny to me. For instance, in one scene, while Mr. Bean is driving, he falls asleep at the wheel.
I keep several Mr. Bean series in my computer, and when I feel upset or low, or want to have a study break, I usually open the files and watch a few episodes. His zany behaviors never fail to make me laugh.
(备注:素材中选取的人物是Mr. Beans,大家在练习的时候,针对不同的题目,可以把人物换成不同的对象,比如my father,my friend等等)
