托福口语第五题考查的是与校园生活相关的题目。下面小编为大家介绍这类题目的答题要求,并结合具体的例子为大家分享这类题的解题技巧,大家一起来看一下吧。
一、题目介绍
本题的校园情景对话涉及大学生活中会遇到的各种问题。这些问题很可能会引起我们的共鸣,因此内容不难理解,且没有阅读文章,只需要听一段对话即可。
对话中的一个学生会遇到诸如课程安排冲突、得不到想要的资料、学生选举、手头拮据等问题。另一个学生会给出两个解决方案。而第五题的问题则要求考生复述学生的问题和解决方案,然后选出自己认为的最佳方案,并给出两个理由。
二、例题讲解
我们以2012年12月8日托福口语第五题为例来看一下如何解答这类题目。
W: Hey Colin, you look so down. What's up?
M: Band problems again. We’ve got to practice, but it’s hard to find a place where you can have three guys playing electric guitars.
W: The Music Department has a great studio that’d be ideal. Why not rent that?
M: You just said why: rent. Sure the studio’s great. But we need to practice every day, maybe two hours. There’s no way we can afford the rent.
W: Why not talk to Professor Garcia? You know, the department chairman. He’s a rock lover. I bet he’d let you use the music building for free.
M: We’ve been looking into that. It is free, which is great. But we can’t use the building during the day. We can only use it in the evening before 10:00 p.m. That’s not a lot of time.
W: But it is free, and it’s a lot better than nothing. Besides, they say you artistes ought to suffer for your art, don’t they?
M: Courtney, you're really not helping.
1. 解题步骤
第一步我们要做的就是听对话、记重点。注意,除了听problem和solutions之外,一定要留意学生对解决方案的态度,这些会帮助我们找到理由来支持自己的观点。笔记如下:
Problem:
M: band×place练music
Solutions:
(1) rent studio
(2) use music dept
Best choice:
2nd√
(1) rent studio ↑$, ×afford
(2) music dept free
hr→练limit b4 10 p.m., but place→练→hr/d
good enough
better>nothing
答题时需谈及自己认为最佳的解决方案并给出理由。20秒钟的准备时间至关重要,这时候 要思考用什么理由来支持自己的观点。如果情急之下想不出自己的理由,可引用学生的对话来支持自己的观点。如:
Personally speaking, I think the second solution is better because renting a studio costs money. The man and his band cannot afford it.
And also I think playing in the Music Department is free. And he can practice at least for few hours. It's better than nothing.
2. 参考模板
Problem:
The student’s problem is that...
Solutions:
First, his friend suggests...
She next suggests that...
Best solution & reasons:
I think the second solution is better, because...And also I think...
3. 参考答案
The young man’s problem is that his band is having a hard time finding a place to practice their music.
First, his friend suggests that they rent a studio to play in. She next suggests that the university’s Music Department building might be available.
I think the second solution is better, because renting a studio costs money. The man and his band cannot afford it.
By contrast, playing in the Music Department is free. True, the hours of use are limited to before ten o’clock in the evening, but they have a place to practice at least for a few hours a day, which is good enough. It’s far better than nothing anyway.
以上就是小编为大家分享的托福口语第五题的解题技巧,希望能给大家的口语学习带来帮助。最后,小编祝愿各位考生在托福考试中取得好成绩!
