2月18日托福独立口语深度解析

春节后的托福首考已经落下帷幕了，很多同学都发现这次托福考试出现了AB卷，今后AB卷可能会成为托福考试的常态。今天，我们先不讨论托福考试未来的趋势，我们主要来给大家分析一下2月18日托福独立口语部分的解题思路。

Task1：Which of the following aspects do you think contributes most to a country’s success: many business opportunities, well-rounded medical care system or a developed education system?

本次独立口语的第一题是一道“三选一”的题。题干中要求学生从三个选择中找出对一个国家的成功贡献最大的要素，第一个要素是商业机会，第二个要素是好的医疗体系，第三要素是发达的教育体系。

如果你发现每个点都可以展开，但是又不知道如何展开的话，那请你要认真积累托福口语语料素材并提高自己的发散思维能力。

以选择第三点—发达的教育体系为例，我们可以这样进行回答：

第一句：直接表明自己观点；

第二句：论点1—教育是国家之本；

第三句：例证1—优秀的人才可以更好地建设国家，让国家良性发展；

第四句：论点2—教育使人明理；

第五句：例证2—受过良好教育的人可以体现更高的素质，让国家的整体素质和声誉得到提升；

第六句：结尾。

Sample Answer:

I think a developed education system is the aspect which contributes most to a country’s success. First, I believe education is the basic of a country’s development. Good education will benefit the country with more talents from whom we can expect a promising future. Second, good education leads to a society with higher quality. As a consequence, the overall quality of population of country will be increased and therefore makes the country more reputable. As a conclusion, a developed education system is the most important factor for a successful country. 

Task2：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the popularity of technologies that focus on entertainment, people read fewer books than before.

本次独立口语的第二题是一个老生常谈的社会问题，题干问的是：随着娱乐的产品升温，人们读的书是不是比原来少了？答案一定是：YES！

Sample Answer：

I agree with the statement that people read fewer books due to the entertainment based on technology. First of all, before the explosion of new entertainments, reading has been people’s favorite pastime. Now, some of us are more engaged in and spend more time on various social media or new APPs. Secondly, the society has changed it is shallower and shallower. Reading is the noblest action but it has been replaced by new means of entertainment with more technologies. So I believe people tend to read fewer books due to the popularity of technologies that focus on entertainment.
