托福考生遇到托福口语独立题时,都会有5秒的准备时间,在这15秒内,大部分同学都会大脑一片空白,在接下来的的45秒答题时间也不知道从何说起,其实这主要原因是缺少积累,巧妇难为无米之炊,或者无法使用正确有效的方法,本文就给大家介绍一下怎么快速积累托福口语话题,甚至是适用于写作的高频语料。
面对托福独立口语题,比较优质的练习方法是从一个角度切入,训练自己的横向分论点拓展,然后再进行纵向论据及例子拓展,一石二鸟,同一招式,一起搞定口语写作的核心素材拓展问题。比如托福口语写作常考的关于social media的话题:
“Are Social Networking Sites Good for Our Society?”
关于economy,我们至少可以得出4个分论点:
1. Social media helps empower business women.
2. Social media sites help employers find employees and job-seekers find work.
3. Social media is good for the economy.
4. Corporations and small businesses use social media to benefit themselves and consumers.
关于government,我们至少得出5个分论点:
1. Law enforcement uses social media to catch and prosecute criminals.
2. Social media increases voter participation.
3. Social media facilitates political change.
4. Social media sites empower individuals to make social change and do social good on a community level.
5. Social media can help disarm social stigmas.
01分类拓展的分论点
关于这个话题,大家先从可以从思路点切入,比如socialization, efficiency of information, economy, government等横向展开,尽可能地去思考每个思路点拓展出来的分论点,比如:
关于socialization,我们可以得出至少6个分论点:
1. Social media allows people to improve their relationships and make new friends.
2. Social media facilitates face-to-face interaction.
3. Social media helps senior citizens feel more connected to society.
4. Social media helps people who are socially isolated or shy connect with other people.
5. Social media offers teachers a platform for collaboration with other teachers and communication with students outside the classroom.
6. Social media allows for rapid communication during crisis events.
关于efficiency of information,我们可以得出至少5个论点:
1. Social media spreads information faster than any other media.
2. Social media sites help students do better at school.
3. Being a part of a social media site can increase a person’s quality of life and reduce the risk of health problems.
4. Social media allows for quick, easy dissemination of public health and safety information from reputable sources.
5. “Crowdsourcing” and “crowdfunding” on social media allows people to collectively accomplish a goal.
02纵向例子和论据拓展
有了这么多分类拓展的分论点,我们再进行纵向例子和论据拓展,可以利用互联网,查询该论点下面的地道文章,引用地道文章里的语言和例子拓展这些分论点,同时训练自己的转述,语言组织等能力。
以下新航道小编就给出相应的纵向拓展的例子,利用数据,权威机构的引用,再加上时事和历史事件来对论点进行相应的支撑和拓展拿到最后素材的积累,一起提高口语写作两个输出项最核心的技能---素材积累和拓展。
比如关于socialization的第6个论据Social media allows for rapid communication during crisis
Over one-third of federal, state, and local law enforcement professionals surveyed say that they use social media to notify the public of emergencies or disasters. Facebook allows users in a crisis region to mark themselves as safe and check to see that friends and family are safe, such as after the Apr. 2015 Nepal earthquake, the Sep.2015 Chile earthquake, and the Nov. 2015 Paris terrorist attacks. During the Paris terrorist attacks, Parisians tweeted their personal address alongside the hashtag #PorteOuverte (French for "open door") to offer shelter to people who were stranded. In the aftermath of the Sydney café hostage situation in Australia in Dec. 2014, local residents tweeted their routes to work with the hashtag #IllRideWithYou to offer support to Muslims in fear of an Islamophobic backlash.
再如efficiency of information的第5个,“Crowdsourcing” and “crowdfunding” on social media allows people to collectively accomplish a goal.
通过上面介绍的这些方式,我们就可以程度地横向和纵向拓展自己的话题素材,结合最常用的思路点,在托福口语还是托福写作,都可以进行适当的内容的拓展,希望这些放大对大家有所帮助!
