托福口语中的独立口语看似给予了考生较大的自由发挥余地,但实际上一些比较冷门生僻的话题也很容易让大家一时之间想不到怎么展开而无话可说。而比起到了考试中再临时想内容,提前了解积累一些应对经验才是更为稳妥的做法。故此,下面小编就来为大家罗列分析托福独立口语TASK2的30个新增话题。
托福独立口语TASK2新增话题分类介绍
托福独立口语TASK2新增话题1-12:同意/不同意题型
在独立口语的TASK2中,同意不同意也就是agree/diagree的题型是最为常见的,考生平时在练习口语时遇到最多的也大抵就是这一题型。而本次新增的30个话题中,有12题就是属于同意不同意题型,大家可以先来具体了解一下:
1. Do you agree or disagree with the statement that female and male university students should have separate residence halls?
2. Do you agree or disagree that it is important for young people to learn some domestic skills like cooking, sewing and taking care of children?
3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? If you want to succeed in business, being outgoing and friendly is very important.
4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The government should forbid violence and bad language in TV programs. Use specific reasons and examples in your answer.
5. Do you agree or disagree with the statement that experienced doctors are better than young doctors?
6. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: it is never too late to get a degree in university.
7. Do you agree or disagree that it is important for children to learn to draw or paint?
8. Do you agree or disagree that a celebrity should set a good example for young people? Use details and examples to support your explanation.
9. Some people believe that we should not discuss the private activities of popular people, like movie stars and singers. Do you agree or disagree with this view?
10. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the popularity of the technology that focuses on entertainment, people read fewer books than before.
11. Some people think that with the development of technology and the Internet, libraries will disappear, while others think libraries are always necessary. Which opinion do you agree?
12. Some people believe old people should not take risks and participate in adventurous events as the young people. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
这一题型单从题目上来看其实并不难回答,毕竟出题者已经给出了statement,为考生竖好了一个靶子。而考生只要选择同意或是不同意一个态度,之后就可以开始想理由和例子了。因此这类题目在基本的思维难度上是比较低的。而这一题型在回答时唯一要注意的要点就是考生需要在一开头就直接给出自己的明确态度。下面这些例句大家可以作为论述的开头句子来使用:
I agree/disagree that ...
I agree/disagree with the idea that ….
I agree/disagree with S + Verb-ing
Some people believe that …, but I disagree.
托福独立口语TASK2新增话题13-23:preference偏好式题型
托福独立口语TASK2中除了上面的同意不同意题型外,另一种比较常见的题型就是偏好式题型,也就是preference题型,这个题型的特点就是题目中会给出你两个选项,然后问你更加偏向哪一种。和上一种题型一样,这个题型其实也是划出了论述范围的,下面这几道就是新增题目:
13. Some universities expect the students to choose a major field of study when they enter the school; while other universities wait until the second or the third year before students deciding to choose a major field of study. Which do you prefer? Why or why not?
14. Which one do you prefer? To buy the newly-released e-product as soon as possible or to wait for a while and then decide whether you want to buy it or not.
15. Some people prefer to buy new books while some people would like to buy used books, what is your opinion?
16. If you are to choose between 2 apartments to live in next semester, one apartment is near the campus but slightly expensive, the other is a little far from the campus but cheaper, which one do you prefer and why?
17. You have been very busy and unable to prepare for the exam tomorrow. You can either stay up late to study and sleepless or just study less and get full night’s sleep. Which will you choose?
18. Some people prefer sending messages while others prefer making phone calls directly. Which one do you prefer?
19. Some people prefer to give their opinions immediately. Others prefer to wait and listen to others’ opinions before giving their own. Which one do you think is better?
20. Some people prefer to finish the assignment a long time before the due date while others prefer finishing assignments right before the due date. Which one do you prefer?
21. Some people prefer to watch entertainment programs on television. Others prefer to watch educational programs. Which do you prefer?
22. Some people prefer to buy new books while some people would like to buy used books, what is your opinion?
23. Some students think it is good to choose the future career before entering the university. Others think it is good to take a few university classes before choosing the future career. Which one do you prefer?
大家可以看到,这些题目中每道题都会有个prefer在里面,而由于题目本身给出的论述范围有限,因此考生需要学会在限定范围内进行合理的展开和论述,扣题是回答这个题型的关键所在。另外,由于prefer本身带有比较的色彩,因此考生在具体论述时也需要对自己没有选择的另一个选项进行一些简单的陈述,可以是让步式承认其也有一定好处作用但终归不如自己的选择,也可以是直接指出其存在的问题以提升自己做出选择的合理性。总之大家不要忘记做出一些比较的姿态来,开头句式可以用下面这些模板:
I prefer to ___ (V + O).
To me, ____(X) is far preferable to ____(Y)
I prefer ____(X) to/over ____(Y)
I would rather ____(V + O) than ___ (V + O)
托福独立口语TASK2新增话题24-29:描述解释题型
这个题型属于曾经很流行的TASK2题型,如今出现的虽然比较少了,但仍然不容忽视,这次新增的题目中也有一部分属于这一题型。这个题型没有固定的提问形式和特征,比较多见的是先给出两个观点或是做法,然后问考生是怎么想的,下面这些新增题型大家可以自行体会一下:
24. Some people think that those children who do not want to keep learning a musical instrument course should be required to keep learning the course; While others think that those children should be allowed to make decisions by themselves. What is your opinion and why? Use examples and details in your explanation.
25. Is it better to use your extra money to buy some objects like clothes or electronic products, or is it better to use the extra money to increase your experiences like going for a vacation or a concert? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
26. Many people think that students study course materials more effectively by taking exams, while others think that students learn more effectively through doing other activities like completing projects, which one do you think is more effective?
27. Do you think it is important for parents to teach their kids to learn how to manage money? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
28. Nowadays people use extreme methods, like surgery to change their appearance. They do this because they are trying to become more attractive. Do you think this is a good idea?
29. Do you think that parents should be allowed to educate their children at home, or should they be required to send children to school outside the home? Support your answer.
这个题型要求考生以描述和解释为主,虽然看上去也是给出了大家两个选择,但实际上却并没有像之前的题型一样非要考生选边站,考生大可以两边一起反驳然后给出自己的第三种观点看法,又或是两边都支持然后分别指出其优点和弊端,总之回答的自由度还是比较高的。但考生一定要记得在开始的地方就先把自己的观点给亮出来,不要先就着两种做法观点各自评论一番再亮观点,大家可以尝试下面的这些开头句式模板:
In my opinion, _____
I strongly/firmly believe that _____
In my view, _____
As far as I am concerned, _____
It is my belief that _____
托福独立口语TASK2新增话题30:假设假象题型
最后要说的这个题型现在已经很少出现在托福口语的独立TASK2中了,可能大家在平时训练做题的过程中也没怎么看到过这种题型,但小编还是建议大家稍作一些了解,以免在考试中突然遇到被打个措手不及,这种题型的特点是以If或者Imagine开头的假设假象题型,本次新增30题中仅有一道属于这个题型,具体如下:
30. If the police stop a driver who is driving drunk (after drinking alcohol), do you think that the person’s driver’s license should be taken away? Support your answer.
这个题目假设了一种场景,然后要求考生根据假设的场景和提出的问题来进行回答,可以说限制的是比较严格的,大家基本上没有太大发挥余地,而且考虑到假设题有时候脑洞会很大,给出的假设比较偏,可能是大家从来没想到过的情况或是问题,其突然性很大,所以小编还是建议大家能够在平时练习中稍加接触,一旦遇到就开动脑筋仔细想一想构思一番,只要提前做好了准备,面对这类题目相信大家还是能比较顺利地解答出来的。
以上就是小编为大家带来的托福独立口语TASK2近期新增的30个话题的罗列分析,希望能够帮助大家提前了解更多托福考题做好充分准备,在口语表达时顺利发挥水平获得理想成绩。
