托福口语怎么用“细节”证明你的观点

托福口语观点题（task 1）里的 “use specific details and examples to explain your answer” 一直很难达到。怎
样去展开给出细节和例子， “细节” 和 “例子” 到底是哪种。我们可以利用模仿托福口语 task 2，来
学习添加细节和例子。

Task 1 和 task 2 题型不同，但回答结构类似。”观点 + 2 个理由”。两道题都有时间限制，所以展开和解

释都是需要比较高效。

Task 2 里的常见展开方式：
1. 个人例子
理由：Well, students often need to borrow the bikes for longer periods of time, sometimes a whole day.

展开：like, to do stuff off-campus, for instance, my friends and I on the weekends, sometimes we like to ride bikes
to the state park outside of town and do some hiking there. And it basically takes a whole day. It's nighttime by the
time when we get back. (from 33-2)

2. 别人的（朋友 / 同学 / 亲戚 …），比如：
理由：Thing is: depending on someone else makes me nervous.
展开：My roommate had to do a project like this and the other girl didn't show up to meetings, didn't do any
research. My roommate had to do everything herself. It hurt her grade. I don't want the same thing to happen to
me.（from 41-2）

个人例子优点是发挥方便，缺点是容易有语法问题，以及时间的把握

建议：可以使用假设的角度来描述
比如：
If I have to do a project like this and the group members don’t show up to meetings, don’t do any research, I
probably will have to do everything myself. It’ll hurt my grade. I don't want this kind of stuff to happen.

3. 列举展开。 列举就是对某个事物做细化，是练习展开入门最好用的一种，在 task 2 里出现频率也是最高

的。

可以是列举包含的内容，比如：

理由：Because it's not gonna solve the problem.

展 开 ： Students are busy at night, I mean, we have jobs, families, clubs, social events. Most of us already have
something to do every single night of the week. It’s just hard to fit anything into my schedule during the week.
（from 4-2）

列举场景，比如：
理由：I can't imagine top students being too thrilled about some of the conditions on this campus.
展开：Like, the science laboratory having such old outdated equipment, and the library needing more books, and
the student center being so small. I think that the 2 million could be spent in better places if the university is really
serious about achieving its goal.（from 13-2）

4. 对比解释

描述一方优势加描述另一方劣势，方优点 + 转折词 + 另一方缺点。比如：

理由：It’s really good for students in that program.

展开： My cousin was in the program a few years ago, and she said that it's very different to cook for a lot of
people in that kind of atmosphere than to cook for classmates. In class you can take your time, but, cooking for
more people, there's more pressure, you're in a rush, people are waiting and it might be easy to make a mistake
with all that stress.（from 5-2）

或者也可以不分开单独描述，就是简单提到，比如：

理由：It's a great place to study.

展开：I go there a lot. I'll read a book or bring my laptop computer and work on a paper for class. It's never very
noisy. In fact, I actually prefer it to the library as a place to study, and a lot of other students do, too. We even
study for our final exams there, and you can eat there while you work, something you can't do with the library.
（from 24-2）

优点：思路可以很快有，避免无话可说。 缺点：很容易正反两面语言的重复。要保持语言多样性。

5. 具体数字
通常都是结合其他展开方式。通常都是讲到时间，金钱，空间，大小，多少等等的时候用来让自己所描述
的内容更具体。

比如：

理由：The problem isn't the size of the hall. It’s that they allow students to invite too many people to come and
watch. All they need to do is reduce the number of guests each graduating student gets to invite.

展开：Right now each graduating student can invite up to ten people. That’s too many. At most schools, students
only get to invite like four or five people. If we just said, “OK, you can only invite six people.” That’ll still be more
than most other schools and the ceremony could stay the way it is.（from 25-2）

又比如结合其他的展开方式：
理由：It’d make things much less expensive.

展开：Because our campus is located outside the city. If you can’t get a friend with a car to give you a ride, there
is no other way to get to the airport. And your only choice is to take a taxi and it’s pretty expensive, like thirty or
forty dollars, which is a lot especially for students.

我们拿一道真题来试试吧。

2018.09.15

Some students think it’s better for the school to cancel the debate club. Others believe that the school should
cancel the hiking club. Which one do you agree with? Please explain your answer in detail and examples.

随便选一个立场。

就 cancel hiking club 吧：

1. 平时能 debate 的机会毕竟不是常常有；

2. 而且 debate 培养的技能比较有用；

3. debate 也好组织，环境没什么特别要求需要的资金也不多。
