随着经济的发展,人们的社会生活发生着重大的变化。你有想过10年以后的生活和现在会有什么不同吗?这一问题也曾一度成为托福独立口语考试的热门话题之一哦。我们先来看看2008年的一个考题:
Describe one difference between your current life and your life ten years later. Include reasons and details to support your response. (2008.11.23=2008.11.22)
有考生可能会觉得,这个很容易,未来的十年,变化很多,随便找几个点一说,这道题就圆满完成了。但教研君需要提醒同学们仔细审题哦。考题需要大家从一个方面来谈谈不同之处,而不是几个方面,因为题目中明确说明了Describe one difference...。这下有些同学着急了,就一个方面说上10来句话,好像有难度。其实,我们在选择这个切入点的时候,可以选择一个能多方面影响生活的一个变化。比如,教研君就想到了10年后拥有一辆车。我们一起来看看怎么就这个变化展开话题吧。
结构提纲:
Intro: car
Body:
1. don't have to leave home so early, enjoy the private space
2. take a trip
3. Spring Festival, get back home
Transitional words: For example, Besides, Moreover, So
结语:the biggest difference
Sample answer:
I believe my life in ten years will be quite different in many ways, but I'm 100% sure about one thing. I will have my own car in the future.
If possible, I will buy a MINICooper, it's my favorite type. With my own car, my life will be much easier. For example, I have to get up early and catch the first subway train to go to work now. I get tired of standing for almost one hour in a crowded carriage to get to my work place. When I have a car, I don't have to leave home so early and I can enjoy the private space on my way to work.
Besides, on weekends, I can take a trip to some places with my friends without worrying about missing the last subway train at night. We can go around, enjoy the night life, and stay with each other as long as we like.
Moreover, during the Spring Festival, I can get back to my hometown by car to have a get-together with my family. It only takes one hour and the total cost is lower than that of a return ticket.
So this is the biggest difference in my future life.
看了这样的叙述,是不是同学们会觉得其实哪怕就从一个方面展开话题,也不会束缚大家的发挥呢。做过这样的口语练习以后,如果要求大家从多个方面来说说10年以后的生活和现在有什么不同的话,简直是易如反掌呢。这里教研君,也给大家做个示范吧。
