    下面小編給大家介紹托福獨(dú)立口語第一個(gè)解題技巧——金字塔結(jié)構(gòu)。
    所謂金字塔結(jié)構(gòu)就是按照一般的答題順序,層層遞進(jìn)。具體來說,第一步:用一句非常簡單的話來表達(dá)你自己的觀點(diǎn);第二步:有效地支撐你的觀點(diǎn),通常我們會(huì)用兩條原因去解釋觀點(diǎn);第三步:舉例進(jìn)一步證明你的觀點(diǎn),可以是自己的親身經(jīng)歷,也可以發(fā)揮想象力編造一個(gè)故事。下面我們來看一個(gè)例子:
    If you could study a subject that you have never had the opportunity to study, what should you choose?
    要解答這道題,第一步,我們可以選擇一個(gè)自己比較熟悉的領(lǐng)域,比如IT(Information Technology);第二步,給出兩個(gè)理由,可以說學(xué)習(xí)這一科目能提高通過計(jì)算機(jī)處理數(shù)據(jù)的能力,也可以說這種技能在當(dāng)今社會(huì)是一種很重要的技能;第三步:用一個(gè)生動(dòng)的例子讓大家更容易理解你的觀點(diǎn)。是自己的親身經(jīng)歷或者周圍一些朋友、親人的經(jīng)歷。把以上這幾部分串聯(lián)起來,中間使用一些連接詞以及固定的句式來幫助我們組織答案:
    If I could study a subject that I have never learned, I would choose information technology. Because I think it will teach me the ability of processing data by using a computer, which is a quite important skill for people living in modern society. I know this from my brother, who was majored in information technology in university. After he graduated, he found a job immediately. And because of his ability of processing data efficiently, he was offered a promotion after a year.
    以上就是托福獨(dú)立口語題的第一個(gè)解題技巧,下面我們再來看第二個(gè)技巧——對比論證法。
    顧名思義,對比論證就是將兩個(gè)事物或事件進(jìn)行對比,進(jìn)而打開話題的思路。所謂的對比有兩種:一種是compare,一種是contrast。Compare其實(shí)也就是我們中文的比較,比較的是兩者的相同點(diǎn);而contrast對比的是兩者的不同點(diǎn)。下面我們來看一個(gè)例子:
    For a school assignment, do you prefer to write a long essay or do you prefer to give a speech in front of the class? Please use specific reasons and examples.
    對于上面這道題,如果比較兩者的相同點(diǎn),那就是寫論文和做演講兩者都需要把自己的觀點(diǎn)用邏輯性思維表達(dá)出來;如果對比兩者的不同點(diǎn),那就是寫論文需要在一個(gè)安靜的環(huán)境下進(jìn)行思考,還必須參閱一些資料;而做演講則需要在一個(gè)活躍的氣氛中進(jìn)行。有了兩者的對比,思路就打開了,下面我們就來看一下范文:
    Personally speaking, I prefer to write a long essay rather than give a speech. As for me, writing seems to be an innate skill. Writing a long essay is similar to composing my own written work, which gives me a chance to think deeply and express my opinions without disruption. Besides, writing a long essay forces me to read a wide range of literatures and references. Through doing so, I will absorb plenty of knowledge and research in depth, which cannot be done by only listening to professor’s lectures.
