加拿大留学标化考试、对于社交类话题的题目,不少同学其实是能够联系到实际生活中自己或者是朋友的经历。托福备考

比如说这个题目:

Which way do you think is better to resolve a disagreement between friends:speaking face to face about it or talking about it on the phone or through text messages/emails?(20220115)【例题一】

有的同学读到题目的时候在脑海中可能就已经浮现出了和朋友闹别扭谁都不愿意搭理对方但又不得不低下头的故事,但实际在回答的过程中却发现故事背景刚交代完,还没有步入解决矛盾的正题,答题时间就已经进入10s倒计时,想好的例子似乎也没有派上用场。

再比如说这道题:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?People’s social skills have declined as their use of technology has increased.Explain why.Use specific details and examples in your response.(20220821)【例题二】

有的同学只能想到一个理由,人们在现实生活中面对面与人沟通的机会减少。因为担心在理由展开论证的过程中容易说“车轱辘话”,想要编一个故事,但是实际操作起来又不知道如何补全例子中的关键信息。

针对同学们的这些问题,今天就来和大家分享一下如何用好例子,讲好故事。

举例方法

例子要素

基本要素:人物时间/地点

关键要素:起因/经过结果

有些同学在编故事的过程中过于在意故事的背景,往往把基本要素和关键要素中的起因组织完后留给真正重要部分的时间就不够。

所以,对于基本要素而言,我们要优先保证人物具体,可以是自己,也可以是朋友家人同学等。时间和地点等要素根据题干中的需要可以作适当补充。对于关键要素而言,事件的经过和结果重点展开,事件的起因可以简单描述。

以例题一为例,为什么和朋友产生矛盾以及矛盾的具体内容是什么并非答题重点,因为题干中的关键信息是如何解决问题,重在解决方式,所以编故事的时候原因部分我们可以简单说,重点是解决方式及其对应的结果。比如说:

Take my friend,Amy,as an example.We had an argument last year and did not talk to each other for weeks.I missed her very much because she was a really good friend of mine,so I texted her and apologized.Amy did not respond for a week,and I thought she did not want to be friends with me anymore.

对比

题干选项对比:

对于prefer类题目,本身题干中就会有两个选项,所以在例子中可以对比两个选项产生的结果,进而凸显某一个选项的好来论证支撑自己的理由。

以例题一为例,解决矛盾的两个选项分别是面对面沟通和打电话或发邮件信息沟通,所以在搭建例子的过程中就可以在事件的经过和结果方面根据题干中的选项做对比:发短信给朋友,但是却没有解决问题,而面对面沟通则让问题得到了极大的改善。所以例子加入对比后就可以这样组织:

Take my friend,Amy,as an example.We had an argument last year and did not talk to each other for weeks.I missed her very much because she was a really good friend of mine,so I texted her and apologized.Amy did not respond for a week,and I thought she did not want to be friends with me anymore.However,it turned out that the message did not go through,and she never received my text.In the end,we went back to being close friends after everything was clarified when we met in person again.

前后对比:

如果题目中本身就是一个statement,那我们对比范围就可以从横向展开变成纵向分析,把时间维度纳入分析范围内。

以例题二为例,题干中说随着科技的应用增加,人们的社交技能随之下降。题干中本身没有对比选项,但是我们可以从题干中发现一个时间上的伴随关系,因此可以从时间维度来做分析。

比如说以自己为例,以前自己习惯的交流方式多是面对面沟通,反而依赖科技或是电子设备以及社交媒体的交流比较少。而如今,因为社交媒体的使用,自己更习惯用表情包或者网络用语来表达自己的想法,所以导致无法用更恰当的文字来表达自己的想法,也就意味着自己在现实生活中的社交能力逐步退化。所以例子加入对比后就可以这样组织:

For example,when I was in high school,seldom did I send email to others.Plus,WeChat was not available at that time.Now,however,I’m used to using emoji and memes to express my thoughts on social media.It is difficult for me to articulate my thoughts and moods with appropriate phrases rather than emojis.

综上:当我们把原因和例子完整组织起来后,例题一的回答就是这个样子:

Which way do you think is better to resolve a disagreement between friends:speaking face to face about it or talking about it on the phone or through text messages/emails?(20220115)

【sample】

In my opinion,speaking with friends face to face when resolving a disagreement is better than talking about it on the phone.Talking with friends in person is more direct and clear because it helps to avoid miscommunication.Take my friend,Amy,as an example.We had an argument last year and did not talk to each other for weeks.I missed her very much because she was a really good friend of mine,so I texted her and apologized.Amy did not respond for a week,and I thought she did not want to be friends with me anymore.However,it turned out that the message did not go through,and she never received my text.In the end,we went back to being close friends after everything was clarified when we met in person again.

例题二的回答就是这个样子:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?People’s social skills have declined as their use of technology has increased.Explain why.Use specific details and examples in your response.(20220821)

【sample】

I agree with the statement.Nowadays,people have less chance to practice their social skills since they spend more time on virtual communication like emails and phone calls rather than in person conversations.For example,when I was in high school,seldom did I send email to others.Plus,WeChat was not available at that time.Now,however,I’m used to using emoji and memes to express my thoughts on social media.It is difficult for me to articulate my thoughts and moods with appropriate phrases rather than emojis.Also,the increasing use of technology weakens my ability to sense others’feelings and guide the conversation simultaneously.I often feel embarrassed and anxious when I talk to others face to face.

小试牛刀:上面的一些举例方法同学们是否有理解呢,可以尝试用下面三道题来检验一下哦~托福口语

Do you think it is important for friends to keep texting?(20220521)

2.Some people prefer to spend their free time with their family or friends.Others prefer to spend their free time alone.Which do you prefer and why?(20220302)

3.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?To be successful in business,a person should be outgoing and friendly.(20220626)
