怎么應對讓人頭疼的獨立口語題目？（1）

考場上你可能會遇到什么狀況？
在考場上，問題出現(xiàn)在顯示屏上，且電腦中有人讀出問題后，問題下方會出現(xiàn)時鐘開始倒計時。準備時間只有15秒，答題時間是45秒。時間太短了，我該怎么辦？此時，或者大腦不太給力，毫無頭緒或千頭萬緒不知從何談起；或者還沒來得及調(diào)整思路、組織語言，時間便轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝。這也許是大部分托?？忌绕涫堑谝淮螀⒓涌荚嚨目忌呐R場反應。其實，這也不賴我們考生。沒有思路或足夠的談資，即便是個美國人也不可能在45秒內(nèi)說出花來；沒有思路或足夠的談資，即便讓中國考生用中文回答，也會詞窮。而這還只是麻煩的開始，遇到這種狀況，不但回答說不到點上，還會影響心情，結(jié)果越說越?jīng)]信心，越說聲音越小，心跳加快，表達也捉襟見肘，語無倫次，顧此失彼，最后只能慌忙收尾。
為了拓展同學們的思路，本章特別介紹幾種適用于回答第一題和第二題的萬能理由，旨在幫助考生們在思路斷層的時候，能夠及時利用這些可套用的理由自圓其說。

③真題例子
1) 2012年08月25日 北美托福考試 口語真題
Question 1: What suggestions do you have for a child just beginning school in order to help him get high marks? Please include specific details in your explanation.
解題思路：回答這道題時可運用上述兩類萬能理由中任意一類的任意一個方面。請同學們仔細閱讀下面的回答。
參考答案
Topic: Personally speaking, I would suggest young kids feel free to talk to teachers and other students and make some friends if they want to get high grades.
Reason 1: To begin with, teachers and classmates are beneficial to our studies, because others’ notes can help make up for what we missed in our class, and also the discussions with classmates or teachers can improve our understanding of lectures and solving problems in assignments. Thus, we can receive good grade in the end. (萬能理由1“學生永遠需要交流”——學習層面)
Reason 2: However, young kids are usually shy and timid and not willing to talk to others in a new environment. As a result, they would be isolated without friends and help from others in the class, and their grades will be suffered. Therefore, they need to become outgoing and feel free to talk to teachers and make new friends in order to obtain high grades. (萬能理由2“學生永遠孤獨”——性格層面) (除萬能理由外，再順著邏輯補上一兩句和題目相關(guān)的內(nèi)容，答題就完美啦。)

2) 2011年06月10日 北美托?？荚?口語真題
Question 1: If your friend has difficulties with mathematics at school, what would you suggest? Please include specific details in your explanation.?
解題思路：同上道題一樣，本題也可運用上述兩種萬能理由。
參考答案
Topic: Personally speaking, I would suggest my friend ask the teachers and other students in class for help.?
Reason 1: First, teachers and classmates are both important sources of information. For example, the others’ notes can make up for what my friend missed in the math class, and also group discussions can improve his understanding in the subject and help solve his problems. (萬能理由1“學生永遠需要交流”——學習層面)
Reason 2: Also, I would recommend him to be outgoing and open to others, because he is kind of shy and not willing to talk to his classmates, which prevents him from fully understanding the subject in the group discussions. To really improve his grade, he needs to make more friends who can be very helpful for his studies. (萬能理由2“學生永遠孤獨”——性格層面)
