前程百利小编从托福黄金口语80题范文中,精心挑选和梳理了几个万能理由,囊括了几乎所有常规题和部分另类题。考生如果掌握了这串万能理由的钥匙,就如同拥有了打开任意门的钥匙,使你通往一扇又一扇高分的大门。让我们启程吧。
万能理由之一:Expand one's horizons
作为万能理由的第一条,expand one’s horizons 绝对是不二之选
先看一个具体话题:(第 10 题)Should the government help to build more museums and theaters?
思路解析:面对此类抽象话题,最佳策略是将其具体化,变成一个日常生活话题,然后套用我们的万能理由。
具体解析:
Yes, I think the government should help to build more recreational facilities
Enrich citizens' cultural life
• expand young people's horizons
• have a place to go for fun on weekends
• art exhibitions can improve public taste
万能理由之二:Learn, learn, learn
之所以用三个learn 作为万能理由,是因为我们可以learn knowledge, learn skills,也可以 learn lessons 或从某个 experience 里面去 learn,成为某种 learning experience.
很多情况下,knowledge和skills是不分家的。比如(第8题)Which of the following has more influence on you: newspaper, TV or teacher?
思路解析:这类话题是媒体类话题, newspaper 或 TV固然好讲,但teacher无疑是最佳的选择因为teacher直接跟learning挂钩:
论点:Teachers have more influence on me
具体论据:Teach me knowledge and skills
• attending class is the only effective way of learning
• knowledge not found in textbooks can be acquired
• learn practical skills in addition to academic knowledge
万能理由之三:Money, finance & economy
虽然用money的思路不可能涵盖所有话题,但如果缺少money的思路,很多话题就无从展开。
(第 3 题)The most important decision in your life.
思路如下:如果我们选择going to an overseas university作为答案,其中的一条主干理由就是 achieve my independence,而在所有的 independence 之中,financial independence无疑是最直接、最现成、最有说服力的一种。简单说,就是通过在国外打工,earn money and make a living
论点:Going to an overseas university
具体论据:Achieve my independence
• started to live on my own
• learned a lot of practical skills such as cooking
• became financially independent through a part-time job
万能理由之四:Relax, enjoy & have fun!
“幸福”、“休闲”、“放松”有关,关键词中除了标题中的relax, enjoy, have fun之外,还有 happy, pleasure, joy, satisfaction, recreation 等等。
我们从一道简单的题目开始:(第5题)What do you do in your spare time?业余时间当然是快乐时光咯,请看详细的答题思路,如下:
思路解析:业余时间做的事情一定是可以让我们快乐的事情,围绕着让自己快乐的事情就可以展开论据。
论点:Well, I'd like to do various sports and recreational activities in my spare time. I enjoy a lot of sports
具体论据:
• doing sports regularly is good for my health
• sports games such as basketball are fun
• I can make a lot of new friends this way
万能理由之五:Let's get emotional.…
生活、工作、学习中的很多问题都跟emotion有直接或间接的关系,如果我们把这些理由点挖掘出来,可以形成一个强大的答题体系。
经典题目:(第 9 题)Describe a social celebration or political event in your culture.
National Holiday celebrations
A time to celebrate across the country
• there are parties, fireworks shows and gala performances
• the purpose is to celebrate the birth of a new country
• nationwide celebrations boost our national pride
万能理由之六: Health & wealth
俗话说的好:健康是革命的本钱。的确,用health的解题思路就像一个万能胶,贴在哪个话题上总可以沾点边。
比如经典例题(第 19 题)Computers: improve our lives or cause a variety of problems?分析如下:电脑的广泛运用是众所周知,但随之而来的问题是现代人长期使用电脑所引起的亚健康。在论证:Computers have caused a variety of problems.我们可以立刻套用万能理由:health上,然后再将其陈述详细化:
论点:Computers have caused a variety of problems
Using computer too much is bad for health
具体论据:
• staring at the screen for too long causes eye strains
• lead to neck and back problems
• become obese and develop chronic illnesses
抓住health这个主干理由,详述分支理由:causes eye strains/lead to neck and back problems/develop chronic illness 使论点得到充分论证。
万能理由之七:Efficient
效率是工作的灵魂。所以有时efficient也是答题的诀窍。
下面让我们来看一下例题:(第26题)Describe one of the most important inventions in the past 100 years.描述一下过去100年最重要的发明。
思路拓展:无论你选择阐述哪种发明,都是为了提高人类工作效率而产生。因此,这时efficient的这个万能理由 就能充分发挥其主干理由的作用,极大扩充了答题思路。
论点:The light bulb invented by Thomas Edison is the most important . Has greatly improved our working efficiency
• constant lighting in the workplace increases productivity
• factories can run day and night
• business hours have been extended dramatically
托福口语考试中虽然有很多万能理由可以利用,但是关键还在于大家平时多利用这些理由进行练习,熟练的掌握每个万能理由的展开方式。
