經(jīng)常聽到考生們抱怨：托福第一個(gè)口語考題變化莫測，無從下手。但以筆者從業(yè)多年的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來看，目前托?？谡Z考試題庫的題目從形式上可能會(huì)繼續(xù)“推陳出新”，但其核心內(nèi)容依舊是“換湯不換藥”。那么，如何應(yīng)對口語話題的變化呢？答案很簡單，充分利用“多米諾骨牌”口語學(xué)習(xí)法。

在茫茫題海中，對每個(gè)話題一一準(zhǔn)備是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。即使可以，也會(huì)浪費(fèi)考生大量的時(shí)間和精力，最后沒有一個(gè)話題是自己準(zhǔn)備完整的。最關(guān)鍵的是，考試的時(shí)候，在緊張的狀況下，常會(huì)出現(xiàn)大腦空白，把以前準(zhǔn)備的內(nèi)容全部忘光的情況。那么，怎樣才能避免這種悲劇上演呢？朗閣海外考試研究中心給出的建議是把相關(guān)題目的思路融會(huì)貫通，也就是一個(gè)思路可供不同題目使用。就像我們小時(shí)候玩的多米諾骨牌一樣，不同的話題即不同的骨牌，有機(jī)地把它們放到一起，排好，一旦我們有一個(gè)好的思路，其中的一個(gè)話題，如同把一個(gè)骨牌推倒，隨之系列話題，都會(huì)隨即倒下。例如：A festival = A happy family event= An unforgettable event= A traditional event you attended= One favorite meal= A happy experience。

【Question】:

Choose a place you like and explain why you like this place.

分析: A place = An event= One favorite meal= A happy experience

考生可以隨機(jī)應(yīng)變，套用經(jīng)典的語句。（畢竟，考試時(shí)只用一次?！肋h(yuǎn)記住’Something is better than nothing!’）

【回答】: Well, the place I enjoy the most is a small town located in France. （用套句，勿忘“點(diǎn)題”。）I like this small town because it has very charming ocean view. I mean the sky there is so blue and the beach is always full of sunshine. You know how romantic it can ever be, just relax yourself on the beach, when the sun is setting down, when the ocean breeze is blowing and the seabirds are singing.(景色描寫——“肉麻”經(jīng)典套句，適合背誦。)

Of course I like this small French town also because there are many great French restaurants. They offer the best seafood in the world like lobsters and tuna fishes. The most important, I have been benefited a lot from this trip to France because I made friends with some gorgeous French girls. One of them even gave me a little watch as a souvenir of our friendship.（第二段加入了食物——lobster和tuna，又加入了人——gorgeous French girls，最后加了紀(jì)念品——watch，令文章內(nèi)容豐富多彩。）
