托福口语题目常常会要求考生用细节来支持论点,“Please include details or examples in your explanation”.根据老师的经验,同学们在这部分的难点是,能给论点,但是展开会比较困难,不知道怎样给出细节,不知道如何具体,有时候甚至是在重复同样的话。举个:观点是 cell phone is very important to people.分论点是 people can use their phones to do many works, for example, when people are working, they can use cell phones to do a lot of things.
那么,如何举例呢?托福口语答题切忌大空话,而例子一定能体现细节,因此不管题目是否有要求,我们都可以用举例的方式展开并且丰富分论点。
举例原则:1.符合所对应的观点;2.对观点中关键词细化。
继续以上文的例子为例:
观点——there’s so much a student can do with a cellphone.
关键词——so much work
关键词细化——search the internet, use the calculator, take notes, record lectures
下面来做个练习:
Which of the following invention do you think is themost important, Computers, TV, or telephones?Opinion:Computers
分论点1:They have made our life so much easier.
关键词:made life so much easier(思考how)
关键词细化:convenient to shop online, buying things online,easierto compare prices, get products delivered to our doorstep.
分论点2:Secondly, compute has made communication so mucheasier than before
关键词:communication ... easier
关键词细化: mail&attachment---点击鼠标即可送达;letter--- had to wait for weeks to get it
