托福備考攻略：托福Task 1口語答題思路

2022.3.12 Task 1 真題

When traveling, some people like to keep a record of their experiences——for example, by keeping a journal or by taking pictures. Other people prefer not to keep such records when traveling. Which do you prefer and why?

題目大意：旅行的時候有些人喜歡記錄旅途中的經曆，比如寫(xie) 旅行日記或者拍照，有些人則不這麽(me) 做。你會(hui) 怎麽(me) 選擇？

答題思路

這題我也是答得非常 personal 了，記住，所有 prefer 類型的題目都是非常 personal 的哦！

你隻要說出你選擇的原因就好了，再加點自己的親(qin) 身經曆。總結來說就是：想想你會(hui) 怎麽(me) 做？

我的思路是這樣的：

語言積累

keep a record v. 記錄

precious memory n. 珍貴的回憶

eidetic memory n. 過目不忘的記憶能力

老師寄語：

A beautiful quote: - why learning a foreign language?

"Being intelligent and learning foreign languages share one in common: they are both painful. And by 'painful', I don't mean the ennui of tediously long lectures or vocabulary and grammatical studies, or the expense of time for the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, nor even the loneliness your dedication to the endeavor could bring upon you. The pain, the true torment, is the confusion. For the bigger the circle of the known, the greater the contact with the unknown. And the more firmly unlearnt believes used to stand, the more helplessly your new identity totters.

After learning a language, if you care enough, part of you becomes a member of the tribe to which the language belongs. And that cultural schizophrenia can be truly excruciating. That pain, however, cannot be easily offset by the better chances of employment in the job market or the simple pleasures of impressing your friends at the dining table with political intrigues and historical anecdotes played out in five different languages. Why, then, would anyone who's not crazy masochist want to learn a foreign language? Yes, to communicate with different people. Yes, to travel to different places. Yes, to advance your career in a globalized world. Yes, it is good for your brain. But more importantly, as potentially excruciating as it is, it is for those curious enough to see the world as it is, and those brave enough to tare down the wall of bigotry instead of comfortably hiding behind the linguistic barrier and refusing to step forward to know your fellow human beings, or even your so-called enemies.

Indeed, the pursuit of knowledge is almost by definition, a sort of masochism. And language learning is no exception. But in such pain, and perhaps only in such pain, can we overcome misunderstandings, bridge cultures and civilization, and find a world in peace and prosperity." -- Phoenix
