本期Note
现在很多年轻人,都称自己为“佛系青年”。不管生活多不顺心,都以“没关系,不重要,我都行”的态度一笑而过。
BUT!托福口语考试中出现过这样一些题目:
1. When you have disagreement with your friends and family members, will you choose to convince them or respect the difference?(Task 2 - 20180113 CN))
2. Recall an argument that you have ever had with others and describe the details of the conflict.(Task 1 - 20170304CN)
3. What do you think is the most effective way of resolving adisagreement with friends?(Task 1 - 20161016CN)
当从不吵架的佛系青年遇上conflict话题肿么办?Iris老师有妙招!
Tip:巧用TPO语料
托福口语Task5的主题,就是在校园场景发生的各种dramatic conflict。Iris老师用TPO44的这个故事,来教你们如何巧用TPO,反套路出独立口语的答案。
先来看看这位女同学有什么样的conflict
选择A:respect the difference
你可以像TPO的女同学一样,选择“退一步海阔天空”, she took a step back and made a compromise by changing her daily schedule。
【You can say】
选择B:convince other people
解决矛盾的办法不是只有妥协让步,我们也可以选择去说服他人,这比冷暴力cold violence更有利于这段关系的发展。
【You can say】
