托福口语之与旅游相关的句式
新托福口语中的独立题常涉及到各种各样的话题,校园、生活、文化、艺术和旅游等都是非常高频的话题。所以,考生们要在备考的时候多积累一些相关词汇和句式,只有这样,大家才能在考场上节省一些思考的时间,更快速准确地表达自己的内容。新东方网托福频道就为大家提供一些托福独立口语题关于旅游的词汇和句式,并进行详细的讲解,以便大家理解和学习。
关于旅游,托福口语向来考的内容多变,从旅游的方式、地点,到旅游的经历,再到对旅游的感受,都是考生们应该熟知掌握的内容。就旅游方式而言,考生们回答问题时选择最多的可能是backpack travel 背包旅行/自助旅行,或者driving tour 自驾游,除此之外,solo/independent travel 自助旅游,package tour 随团旅行也是比较受欢迎的。其他的,比如guided tour 有导游带领的旅游,cycling tour 骑自行车旅游,coach/greyhound travel 巴士旅游,charter tour 租车/船旅游,cruise 乘船巡游也是很多同学想要选择的,可能有时碍于不会表达就因此放弃转而选择好描述的内容去说。在回答独立口语问题时,容易描述的内容固然好,因为这至少保证你的流畅度是OK的,但趋于平淡枯燥的答案很难让考官感兴趣,那就不如把本来想说的说出来,然后再去下功夫练你的流畅度。所以,大家想要描述租车旅游是自己最爱的旅游方式,那就从今天开始记住它叫做charter tour吧。
除了旅游方式,旅游的种类也很繁多,比如bush walking 丛林徒步旅游,adventure tour 探险旅游,extreme travel 极限旅游,exploring travel 探索旅游,leisure travel 休闲观光,exotic travel 异域旅游,camping 露营, eco-tourism 生态旅游,outbound tourism/outbound travel出境游,excursio/outing 短途旅游,farm tour 农家乐旅游等。
关于旅游景点,大家不要拘泥于tourism attraction(旅游胜地)这一种表达方式,考生应尽量把景点归类的细致一些,比如historical relics 历史遗迹,resort度假地,natural splendour/attraction自然景观,ancient monument 古迹,traditional architecture 传统建筑,summer resort 避暑胜地,national park 国家公园,emperor’s mausoleum/tomb陵墓,famous Buddhist mountain 佛教名山,hot travel spot 黄金景点。
关于地点名称,这里就不多补充了,大家在回答问题时要注意把旅游地点的具体名称说出来,才能体现真实性,然后再详细介绍这个景点的种类等。接下来,非常重要的一节是对这个景点和自身的感受加以形容,而这也是考察考生能力和水平的真正一节。因为很多考生局限于interesting, beautiful, unforgettable, had a memorable moment等通俗的表达,很难抓住考官的胃口,也很难让人感同身受。所以下面补充的内容考生要牢记于心。首先描述景点给人的第一印象,可以说spectacular壮观的,breath-taking惊人的,enchanting/charming/alluring/fascinating迷人的,soothing令人放松的,delightful 令人愉悦的,如果是给人不好的感受,也不要只会说it’s dirty, 可以说messy肮脏凌乱的,fetid 恶臭的,unpleasant 令人不愉快的,disgusting令人厌恶的,unsightly不雅观的,等等。
下面,关于各种旅游方式的优缺点,朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师建议大家结合自身的喜好和经历来选择合适的句子作为己用,每类话题储备一定量的句子并用在答案里才能让你的答案有‘营养’,有意义。
首先,关于独自旅行,考生们可以说:
Solo travel is the quickest and easiest way to grow your independence. 独自旅行是能培养独立性最快最简单的方法。
Being alone on the road focuses your energies and attention. It intensifies the travel experience. 独自旅行能使你保持体力和注意力,并能加强你旅行的感受。
Travelling alone is ideal for unobtrusively observing. Whether in a forest or a crowd, the single traveller can watch, listen, and learn with a minimum of disruption. 独自旅行能使你观察到不易察觉的东西。不论是在森林里还是人群中,独自旅行者都能不被打扰的用心去看,去听,去学去感受。
关于自由行:
Itineraries can be planned, and rooms, transport and meals can be picked without hesitation or haggles. This freedom can energize you. 你可以自己定行程,并且不用为了订房间、交通和饭菜而犹豫和争吵。
You can indulge yourself fully; sleep as much or as little as you like; rest when you want; pour it on when you’re feeling ambitious. 你可以尽情享受尽情放纵自己,想睡多少觉睡多少,累了就休息,兴奋了就赶紧去疯狂。
关于跟团旅行:
Package tour can be more budget. Tour operators make use of bulk bookings from hotels, and are able to get good deals for food, sight seeing tours, transportation and any other services. 跟团旅行更经济实惠一些,因为旅行社利用团购可以拿到很好的折扣在酒店、食物、观光和交通等项目上。
If you choose to travel during the peak season, there are little chances of securing accommodation and travel tickets. Opting for a holiday package would make it easier to travel in such a situation. 如果是旺季旅行,个人预定的住宿和机票很难被确保。而选择跟团就会好很多。
You can enjoy a tension free holiday: Choosing a tour operator to do most of the planning for the holiday saves you time and hassle. 你可以享受一个无压力的假期,因为有旅行社帮你做一大堆事而这给你省了时间和麻烦。
关于旅行的意义:
Travelling teaches me to live an adventure. When I look back, there might be ups and downs, prides and regrets. If I travelled as I would, at least these moments: bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge, appeared on Italian TV, hiked a Mayan ruin, and learned Spanish in three months wouldn't be on my list of regrets.
旅行让生活变得冒险刺激。当我将来回顾人生,可能会看到起起伏伏,骄傲和遗憾。但是当我想要去旅行并且真正做到了时候,至少这些画面,比如骑自行车穿越金门大桥,出现在意大利电视上,徒步走在玛雅废墟上,三个月内学会西班牙语等等,都不会出现在我的遗憾的名单上。
Travelling helps you begin to know the world. If you go to Southeast Asia, you may encounter the slave trade. If Eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocide and religious persecution. If Haiti, you’ll witness the ugly side of Western paternalism. And you will then encounter compassion. You will have a new-found respect for the pain and suffering that over half of the world takes for granted on a daily basis. And you will cherish your life.
旅行让你开始了解这个世界。如果你去东南亚,你可能会遇到奴隶交易;去东欧,你会看到种族灭绝和宗教迫害;而在海地,你会亲眼目睹到西方家长作风的丑陋面。然后你会开始懂得同情和怜悯。你会对这世界上一半以上的人们每天所遭受的习以为常的痛苦和磨难产生深切的同情。然后你终于开始珍惜你的生活。
以上就是老师为考生们总结的关于旅游方面的素材,接下来老师用一个例题来做一示范。
Which do you think is better: self-guided tour or package tour?
Answer: Well, it’s no exaggeration to say that travel has long been my biggest hobby and the NO.1 must-do task every year. Every time I travel, I go for a self-guided tour. I think it’s better because self-guided tour gives me freedom. I mean, itineraries can be planned, and rooms, transport and meals can be picked without hesitation or haggles. This freedom can energize me. I won’t be drained by those busy package tour schedules. Another thing I like it for is the independence I gained from travelling without travel agents. Self-guided travel means all things I do myself, it’s complicated but in turn, I’ve learned how to book a cheap hotel, how to rent a car, how to get a economical public transport plan, which I definitely can’t learn from a package tour. So, I love self-guided tour more.
在此题中考生们可以看出划横线的部分就是之前补充在素材库里的,但是根据题目和我要表达的内容做了一些改变。也证明了所有的素材都是可以活学活用的,只要你理解了这些素材,背过了关键词和关键句子,你就能对不同的题做出不同的改变。当然,别忘了最重要的那句话,多练习才是王道。
