第四类常考的题目是event类,
来看一个例题:What is the most memorable event you experienced in your life Explain why it is memorable. (Longman p.50),类似的事件题的关键形容词可以换为:embarrassing (Longman p.70), challenging (TOFEL ibt 07.03.03),disappointing (TOFEL ibt 08.03.30),hard (TOFEL ibt 08.06.17)等等。较难的题可以出成:Describe a time when you needed help from others, how he or she helped you and what was the result Please include details and examples to support your answer. (TOFEL ibt 07.04.29),这类题目跟个人亲身经历有关,考场上容易一时没有思路,也很难去杜撰,所以应在考前多去回忆童年往事,同时尝试着用英文表达出来,假如实在无法勾起美好的回忆,那就去杜撰吧, 注意是考前练习时杜撰,千万别到了考场上再去杜撰。
以上四类是托福口语task 1考察频率最高的四大类,当然还有其他类别的一些考题,如工作职业类(这类主要是关于人生的目标,职业的选择,工作的兴趣等等),学校教育类,new skill you would like to learn (TOFEL ibt 08.01.19),文化娱乐类,这类题目涉及到文化、艺术、娱乐等生活中常见的题材。比如:a book that you want to read again (Longman p.58),an important composition, example: essay, poem, letter (TOFEL ibt 08.05.17),a TV program that you really like to watch (Longman p.54),a type of music you like most (Longman p.56)等等,需要考生在考前花大量的时间去整理思路,只有做到有备无患,在能在考场上胸有成竹,口若悬河。
