托福口语中有一类话题就是朋友，要求我们描述身边的一位朋友。下面前程百利托福小编就拿具体的某道托福口语中的朋友类话题题目给大家在思路上进行拓展，并结合学生的回答给予分析。
题目：People make friends in many different ways. What do you think is a good way to make new friends? Use specific details and examples in your response.
题目中的第一个关键词是“friends”， 朋友的类型有很多，和友谊相关的表达如下：
Build and maintain a solid friendship;
Bosom friend;
Share interest;
Resemblance, similarity;
Talkative.
题目中的第二个关键词是“ways”， 结交朋友的方式有很多种，比如：
Through old friends;
On the Internet;
Join a club;
Group activity.
针对这道题目，我们来看一下某个学生的回答，指出这个回答中的几项错误和需要改善的地方。
Personally speaking, I like to make new friends through group activities ① and in those activities there is a great chance that I can find someone who I can ② establish a friendship. This is because, more often than not, we ③ do some tasks together, plus, being in a certain group, we share our interests and even characteristics. Apart from our similarity in interests, ④ there is also greater chance that through our cooperation and communication, we know each other better, our names, telephone numbers and even home address. Actually, this is how I met my bosom friend. I came to know her when we participated in a ⑤ charity program where we exchange ideas a lot. Later, we became better friends.
通过分析，这个回答存在以下问题(对应的问题已在回答中标出)：
①句式过于简单：此处重复使用“activities”显得过于累赘;
②语法错误：完整的短语应该是“establish a friendship with sb.”;
③用词不准确：“完成某项任务”一般不用“do”来表达;
④句式重复：“there is a great chance that”此短语在第一句中已经使用过，最好换一个句型表达此意;
⑤语法错误：“charity”的用法错误。
针对这些问题，可以做出以下批改建议：
Personally speaking, I like to make new friends through group activities ① where there is a great chance that I can find someone who I can ② establish a friendship with. This is because, more often than not, we ③ perform some tasks together, plus, being in a certain group, we share our interests and even characteristics. Apart from our similarity in interests, ④ it is also more likely that through our cooperation and communication, we know each other better, our names, telephone numbers and even home address. Actually, this is how I met my bosom friend. I came to know her when we participated in a ⑤ charitable program where we exchange ideas a lot. Later, we became better friends.
① 用where就可以使句式简单、不累赘;
② 加上which从语法角度就正确了;
③ “完成任务”常用“perform tasks”或“perform a task”;
④ 句型换为“It is likely that”，体现了句式的丰富多样性;
⑤ charitable意思是“与公益事业有关的”或者是“为了公益的”，如“charitable institution”，“charitable work”，“charitable donation”。
通过以上的讲解，相信大家对托福口语朋友类话题有了更深入的了解。大家在平时要多看一些范文，搜集一些思路，还要注意尽量避免语法上的错误，使用丰富的词汇和句式，这样才能在托福考试中拿到口语高分。
