④真題例子
1) 2012年08月25日 北美托福考試 口語真題
Question 2: Do you prefer to eat outside or cook on your own? Please provide specific details in your explanation.
解題思路：如果選擇cook on your own，可套用萬能理由3和5。
參考答案
Topic: Personally speaking, I would choose to cook on my own for the following reasons.
Reason 1: First, cooking at home saves money. As a student, I do not have income. My parents pay for my tuition and daily expenses. Eating outside every day is luxurious and costly, and I cannot afford it. So I should learn to cook on my own and save money to lower the financial burden of my parents. (萬能理由3“學(xué)生需要省錢”)
Reason 2: Also, cooking can be quite relaxing and release pressure from my study. I would be exhausted if I study too much. So I need to take a break and cook with my friends. In this way, I feel free and happy. (萬能理由5“學(xué)生需要放松”)

2) 2012年06月08日 北美托福考試 口語真題
Question 1: Your friend has just received a large sum of money. What do you suggest he do with it? Please include specific details in your explanation.
解題思路：題干的意圖是“如何分配這筆錢”，“錢”可以讓我們在第一時間聯(lián)想到“省錢”，即萬能理由3。然后再套用一個理由就大功告成了，比如，有了錢可以出去游玩，放松一下。
參考答案
Topic: Personally speaking, I would give my friend two suggestions.
Reason 1: First, I think my friend needs to save enough money to pay for his tuition and daily expenses. As a student, I don’t think he has a job or income. I guess his parents might financially support him for everything. And this large sum of money can reduce the financial burden of his parents. (萬能理由3“學(xué)生需要省錢”)
Reason 2: Also, the money left after paying for study and living can be spent on traveling, which could be quite relaxing and fun. Studying too much may make him feel exhausted, so he needs to take a break. (萬能理由5“學(xué)生需要放松”)
