托?？谡Z備考干貨

一、話題一覽

托福獨立口語有這樣一類話題，包羅萬象，題目通常會涉及生活中個人選擇或者偏好。比如：

喜歡在大城市生活還是在小城市生活？

喜歡發(fā)短信還是打電話？

喜歡讀電子書還是紙質書？

喜歡同時完成多個任務還是只完成一個？

喜歡把舊的東西留著還是處理掉？

二、常用思路及語料

雖然這類話題題目涉獵范圍之廣，但是答題的思路卻不復雜，因為做任何事情都需要花費一定的時間、金錢或精力，所以面對這些題目就有了大家口中所謂的“萬能理由”，那么這些理由我們可以用的好嗎？接下來就一起來看看吧～

save time/time-saving vs waste time/time-consuming

原因解釋：I’m a high school student and I’m busy with my study.For example,I have to squeeze time for accomplishing the assignment,writing essays,and even preparing for TOEFL test,which leaves me with a very tight schedule.Therefore,I can’t spend that much time on xxx.

結果分析：I am able to make use of the time to do...（這里一般指的就是更有意義的事情，或者是根據(jù)題目具體分析）

save money/cheap vs waste money/expensive

原因解釋：I’m a high school student and I have no income.Now,I financially depend on my parents to pay for my tuition fee and daily expenses.Therefore,I’d better not waste money on unnecessary things like xxx to release my parent’s financial burden.

結果分析：I can take advantage of the money to do...（這里一般指的就是更有價值的東西，或者是根據(jù)題目具體分析）

mental health/physical health

原因解釋：Due to the pandemic,I have to take classes online and keep staring at the computer for a long time.Now I suffer from the shortsightedness and neck problems.Plus,I’m really stressed out and sometimes I just feel depressed or anxious because of the lockdown.

結果分析：If I can do exercise frequently,I will build up my muscles,enhance the immunity and become strong enough against the virus.Besides,It will help me relax,so that I will be in a better mood and motivated to lead my life with confidence.

energetic/exhuasted

原因解釋：It requires great effort to do...,causing mental fatigue.I need to make great effort to do...,feeling exhausted.For example，I‘m a high school student and I’m always swamped with all kinds of assignments,papers and exams,and there are deadlines wherever I turn.

結果分析：If I can...,I don’t have to...For me,playing basketball provides me with a chance to relax.The temporary escape from the reality helps me let go of all the stress in my life.

舉個栗子：Which do you prefer：go to the gym everyday or only when you are free?(20220827)

分析：題目問我們更喜歡每天都去健身房還是在更愿意選擇在空閑的時間去健身房，其實也就是在問去健身房的頻率。這樣的題目就很適合聯(lián)系上面提到的語料來作答，畢竟去健身房耗時又耗力呀（累...；當然，去健身房還要鍛煉身體，所以和健康也有關系～

如果選擇只在閑暇時間去的話，可以從這兩個角度思考～

選擇only free：

理由1:have no time

理由2:too exhausted

【Sample 1】

I prefer to go to the gym only when I am free.To begin with,I have no time because I’m a high school student and I’m really busy with my study.For example,I have to squeeze time for accomplishing the assignment,writing essays,and even preparing for TOEFL test,which leaves me with a very tight schedule.Therefore,I can’t spend that much time on it.You know,study is always the top priority for me.Plus,I don’t believe it is necessary to go to gym everyday,because it can easily cause fatigue.You know，running 5 kilometers everyday or doing body-building exercises everyday will further lead to harms to my knees and ankles,which will definitely have a negative effect on my physical health in the long run.

如果選擇每天都去的話，可以從這兩個角度思考。

選擇everyday：

理由1:good for physical health

理由2:conducive to mental health

【Sample 2】

I prefer to go to the gym everyday.To begin with,if I can do exercise frequently,I will easily build my muscles up,strengthen my immune system and become strong enough against the virus.You know,due to the pandemic,I have to take classes online and keep staring at the computer for almost 5 to 6 hours everyday.Now I suffer from severe neck problems.Therefore,I need some stretch exercise.Besides,doing sports will help me relax so that I will be in a good mood and motivated to lead my life with confidence.Because of the lockdown,sometimes I just feel depressed and anxious.If I could go to gym for yoga and meditation everyday,I would feel peaceful and refreshed.

當然啦，有的題目也可以根據(jù)具體情況具體分析，分別從題干中的兩個選項或兩種情況入手～也就是常說的it depends

舉個栗子:Some people prefer to throw away old things,such as old books or old newspaper.Others like to keep the old things.Which one do you prefer?Please explain why and use specific details and examples to support your answer.(20190309)

分析：題目考察的是對于舊東西的處理方式，有的人喜歡把它們扔掉，有的人則喜歡留下來。題目中關于舊東西有做簡單列舉，比如說舊書舊報紙，但是大家不要局限于此哦，old things還是包含很多東西的，比如說舊手機，舊玩具等等～所以我們就可以根據(jù)不同的物品類型來做決定是不是要斷舍離～

選擇：it depends on what kind of old things

a.useless--old newspaper+books--throw away

b.useful+expensive--electronic devices--keep

c.sentimental meaning--gift from grandparents/best friend--keep

除此之外，很多時候個人的選擇也都與個人的性格緊密相關，同學們也可以把personality or personal feelings當作是答題的理由來補充思路～

舉個栗子：Some people prefer to organize events,while others prefer to attend them.Which do you prefer？(20200816)

分析：題目問我們更愿意自己組織活動還是參與活動，其實也就是在問我們更喜歡扮演的角色是什么～這個時候我們除了可以考慮到組織活動耗時耗力還費錢之外，還可以把自己的性格和題目練習在一起呀～比如說社?？梢宰鳛閛rganizer，社恐就可以作為participant～

選擇：attend

理由1:shy/social phobia

理由2:hygienic
