托福宝宝经常遇到托福口语独立题时，害怕那死亡15秒准备时间，大脑一片空白的45秒答题时间，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，今天菜蔬就和大家分享一种高效的素材积累方法，配上菜蔬的口语录音，帮助大家最短时间内积累托福口语，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?

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：

❶  Social media allows people to improve their relationships and make new friends.

❷  Social media facilitates face-to-face interaction.

❸  Social media helps senior citizens feel more connected to society.

❹  Social media sites empower individuals to make social change and do social good on a community level.

❺  Social media can help disarm social stigmas.

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，以下菜蔬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 events.

通过这种方式，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，无论在今后的托福口语还是写作，都不用惧怕核心部分---内容的拓展，当然，你如果觉得嫌这个过程过于繁琐，或者想更快更系统的积累素材，可以随时关注新航道托福的推文或者加入到新航道的班课中系统学习。
