托福口语题型讲解及答题技巧：Task2Preference

　　托福口语Task 2 Preference题型讲解及答题技巧，从几个重点例子进行分析，希望对你备考托福有所帮助!

　　托福考试训对于学生来说是一种应试型的英语学习过程，在托福口语的考试当中，众所周知Task 2是一道个人选择personal choice类型的题目，主要分为agreement和preference两种题型。当我们地托福考试稍作了解之后就会发现，agreement类型的题目的答题框架主要就是在首句阐明I agree / disagree with the statement that……就可以了。但是托福考试当中preference的题目我们为了将两个选项做出鲜明的对比，要运用这样的高分答题框架：

　　1. 第一句表明立场，做出选择。

　　2. 接下来用Although句型点出没有选择的选项的优点，随即说出这个优点的弊端。

　　3. 然后再说出两个选择的那个选项的优点，答案即可完成。

　　4. 我们可以用这样的高分答题句式来规划自己的答案：

　　Personally speaking， I would choose to__rather than

　　___and___， I prefer the former / latter statement.

　　接下来Although__(另一选项的优点)，(but)___ (另一选项的弊端). Therefore I would think ___ is a better choice / I am more with the statement that ___ because___(选择选项的优点一). In addition， ___(选择选项的优点二)。

　　这样的答题方式和第五题有些相像，也就是说在我们需要作比较的失手，一定要提到另外一个选项，经过这样的规划，才能够使我们的答案更赋有逻辑性。下面我们来看两道例题：

　　例题讲解一：Task 2：Some people prefer to make decisions quickly. Others prefer to take their time. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.

　　首先我们先列出一个表格，明确的列出两个选项的优缺点。在这个环节当中需要注意的最重要的一点就是：选项A的缺点可以成为选项B的优点，反之亦然!

　　下面我提供双面的答案，只要有了明确优缺点的表格，稍作语言上面的修饰和总结，答案就呼之欲出了。

　　答案一：选择Take time: Making decisions quickly or taking time to make decisions, I prefer the latter statement. Although making decisions quickly could avoid us missing any rare opportunities(另一选项的优点), it is always easier to make mistakes(另一选项的弊端). As for me, I am an absolutely struggle person since I am always afraid of making wrong decisions and feel regretful afterwards. Taking time making decisions, we will have time to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each choice(选择选项的优点一), which could be able to help us make the most rational decision based on what is better for us and what we really need and want and at the same time avoid making decisions on impulse(选择选项的优点二).

　　答案二：选择Making decisions quickly: Making decisions quickly or taking time to make decisions, I prefer the former statement. Although taking time to make decisions, we will have time to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each choice(另一选项的优点), we may become slothful to take challenges(另一选项的弊端). Making decisions quickly could avoid us missing any rare opportunities and being regretful afterwards(选择选项的优点一). Besides, we will save our time on meaningless hesitation and being distracted or misled by our parents or friends who we are discussing with(选择选项的优点二).

　　例题讲解二：Some people prefer to learn about current events from watching television news programs. Others prefer to read about current events in newspaper or on the Internet. Which do you think is better: watching the news or reading the news? Explain why.

　　同样的，我们先列表两个选项的优缺点。

　　有了这个全面的优势与弊端分析的表格之后，我们只要从中抽取我们需要的信息，稍加阻止语言，答案就呼之欲出了。下面是我提供的双面答案：

　　答案一：选择television news programs: Personally speaking, I would choose to learn about current events from watching television news programs rather than reading about current events in newspaper or on the Internet. Although we can read latest news that is really up to date (另一选项的优点)on newspapers and Internet, the readers are very hard to be attracted by monotonous words(另一选项的弊端). Television news programs have dazzling and impressive audio-visual effects (选择选项的优点一)that would be not only a process of recognition of news and events but also a kind of enjoyment and leisure. Moreover, the news from television programs are much more reliable (选择选项的优点二)than newspapers and especially than Internet as they are already censored by information bureau.

　　答案二：选择newspaper or Internet：In my opinion, I would choose to read about current events in newspaper or on the Internet rather than from watching television news programs. Although television news programs have dazzling and impressive audio-visual effects(另一选项的优点), the news sources are limited (另一选项的弊端)because of the limited time. We can get the latest news that is really up to date (选择选项的优点一)from Internet and newspaper and it is easy and convenient to read a large amount of information. In addition, newspapers are much more portable than television and cell phones which can be used to surf the Internet is easy to take also. (选择选项的优点二)

　　第二题preference的答题框架固然要比agreement提醒困难些许，因为考生需要在短时间之内缕请思路和逻辑，他们的答案中不仅仅要出现支持选项的优势，还要出现反对选项的优势和弊端，这就加强课对于考生逻辑性的考验。不过这种答题方式也不失为一个福音，经过长时间的培训和练习，对于45S的时间太长而没话说的学生来说，这种答题方式为他们增添了思维方式和思考角度的可能性，帮助他们充分地利用起这45S的时间来。学生通过备考托福口语的英语学习过程可以获得我们意想不到的收获，比如难度高的词汇和语法，包括专业知识的获取，利益远远大于一般的英语口语培训。
