2 seconds beep] Suggested Answer:
There are four members in Brian’s family, his father, his mother, the elder sister and him. His father works in a computer company, and his mother is a nurse in a hospital. His older sister studies in Beijing, and they get in touch with each other by email. His parents are strict with him. When he was at home, he had to clean his own room, help with house chores, finish his homework before dinner time and get back home before 9:00. In short, Brian lives in a strict yet loving family.
詞彙與解析： WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS
1. be strict with: 嚴厲的，嚴格的
2. house chores: 家務事，家務活
3. get along with: 進展(情況);生活地，(友好地)與……相處
4. get in touch with 保持 答案解析：
這是兩名學生在討論家庭的一篇對話。這篇對話傳遞了三個信息。我們首先了解了Brian的家庭成員(Brian: Four. My parents, my elder sister and I.);其次，瞭解了Brian父母親的職業 (My father works in a computer company, and my mother is a nurse.)，他的父親在一家計算機公司工作，母親是護士。最後，我們從對話中得知，Brian的父母親對他要求很嚴格：Brian在家的時候，他得自己打掃房間，幫助父母做家務活，晚飯前必須做完家庭作業，晚上九點之前必須回家。這些具體事例有力地證明了Brian的父母對他的嚴格要求。
我們不難看出Brian父母的良苦用心，希望Brian學習上養成良好的習慣，生活上鍛鍊他自理的能力，要求他分擔家務。家長培養孩子長大成材，就得從小事抓起，溺愛孩子只會使孩子嬌生慣養，依賴性強，事業上無所成就。這篇對話篇幅不長，卻體現了值得大家學習的一種家庭教育理念。
對話的語言口語化，流暢自然，句型表達地道，其中不乏我們可以模仿的好句子：1. Just that I miss my family terribly. 只是我很想家。2. Lin: Do you get along well with your family? Brian: Sure. I’m lucky to live in a strict yet loving family. 你和家人相處得好嗎?當然，我非常幸運地生活在一個要求嚴格卻充滿愛心的家庭。
在討論“家庭”這類話題時，我們應該儘量多掌握有關家庭的文化背景知識，家庭是社會的一個基本單位，理想的家庭會給家庭成員提供保護、安全、和溝通情感的機會。在不同的社會裏，家庭結構，家庭成員的需要不盡相同。
現代社會流行的家庭模式主要有以下三種：1)核心家庭，the nuclear family --- two adults and their children, 即父母親和他們的孩子，這是一些國家流行的家庭模式。2)大家庭，an extended family, 由祖父母和其他親戚組成的一個大家族，這種模式在一些發展家和農村非常盛行。3)單親家庭，a single-parent family，孩子與離異的父親或者母親生活，或者是未婚母親與子女。
我們同時還應該注意到家庭的經濟狀況、居住的環境會影響到孩子的綜合素質及與父母親的關係。總的來看，來自較高收入的家庭、居住在郊區的孩子與父母關係和睦;而家境貧寒、居住在城裏的孩子與父母的關係比較冷漠，比較疏遠。
託福獨立口語任務之家人朋友篇
在託福獨立任務人物類話題當中，我們可以根據描述人物的類型進行大致的分類，每類人物都具備不同的character, 所以我們的描述方式和答題思路也會有所不同。
一、家人
在託福口語人物類話題當中，經常會出現這樣的題目：
In your opinion, what are some of the qualities of agood parent? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why thesecharacteristics are important.
題目要求描述一個好家長應該具備的品質，通過brainstorming, 我們可以想到以下形容詞：
amiable 和藹可親的
well-educated 受過良好教育的
considerate 體貼的
reasonable 講道理的
selfless 無私的
diligent 勤勞的
patient 耐心的
encouraging 鼓勵的
想到這些詞我們已經有了一個良好的開頭，下面就是選擇兩個或三個你認爲比較重要，關鍵是比較好找到細節支持的品質來進行接下來的回答。根據“TST”結構，我們的topic sentence可以這樣回答：
In my opinion, encouragement and diligence are twoimportant characteristics a good parent should have.
接下來只需要找出支持這兩點品質的supporting details, 並且在回答的過程中注意transitional words的添加，我們的任務就完成了。而找到合適有力的supporting details 卻不是一個容易的過程。接下來給大家一個sample:
First of all, encouragement can do a really useful partin children’s development. For example, when a child is afraid of going to thestage to perform, a good parent will encourage him to get over the fear andgive him a warm hug. The child can get enough courage from this. Also, a goodparent should be diligent. You know, raising a child isn’t an easy job. Soparents should be hard-working to do all the housework and clean up all thechaos created by their babies. Helping their children to form a good personalityalso costs them a lot of energy.
這樣的準備過程同樣適用於以下話題：
Describe a person thatyou admire. Explain why you admire this person. Include details and examples tosupport your response.
Describe an elder personthat you respect. This person could be one of your grandparents or ain why you admire this person,and how thisperson influenced you.
Describe the person towhom you would like to turn for advice when you are in trouble. And explain whyyou would like to turn to this person for advice?
以上話題當中，描述一個令你欽佩的人，你尊敬的一位老人以及當你有困難你會求助的人都可以是你的父母，具備以上關於一個好家長應該具備的品質。而具體哪些品質需要大家靈活地變通一下了。
二、朋友
In your opinion, what aresome important characteristics of a good friend? Use reasons and specificexamples to explain why these characteristics are important.
Which do you think is themost important quality of a strong friendship: loyalty, honestyor sense of humor? Explain why? Please include details and examples in yourresponse.
Describe a special friendin your childhood, why he or she is special to you? Include reasons and detailsto support your response.
以上的這幾個話題要求考生們對朋友所具備的品質和特性有所掌握，當然第二個題目也給出了一些提示：loyal、honest、humorous, 都是描述朋友常用的形容詞。除了這些，通過brainstorming我們還可以想到：
supportive 支持的
kind-hearted 熱心的
reliable 可靠的
sociable 善交際的
creative 有想象力的
candid 直率的
caring 關心人的
generous 慷慨的
sympathetic 有同情心的
thoughtful 體貼的
因此，我們的topic sentence可以說For me, a good friendshould be supportive and humorous. 或者For me, a true friend ought to bethoughtful and generous. 當然，supportive和humorous可以替換成任何描述朋友的形容詞。
對於第一個主題句，接下來的supporting details可以這樣來發揮：First, friends alwayshave many things in common, in other words, they like to do the same things orhave similar characters. So, it is no surprise that good friends always supportyou when you have to make choices. Even though having different ideas, a goodfriend can understand you and support your choice. Also, a humorous friend canalways brighten you up. If you feel down or upset, it’s lucky to have a friendwho can tell jokes for you or take you to do some funny things.
對於第二個主題句，可以用以下的話來支持它：First of all, athoughtful and considerate friend can make you feel safe and comfortable. Whenyou get sick or get hurt when playing sports, you will forget about the painand suffering with the caring from your friends. A thoughtful friend also willconsider your feeling and well-being when he does or says something in front ofsomeone else. Secondly, a good friend can be very generous when you are introuble or in need. We can see that many successful people got a lot of helpmaterialistically and spiritually from their friend. Thus, a generous friendmay be the key when you are heading for your success.
同樣，這些關於朋友的特質和細節也可以適用到其他可能跟朋友有關的話題，例如：
Describe a person who hada positive impact on you. Explain how this person influenced your life. Givespecific reasons and details to support your explanation.
Describe a person whomyou would like to spend time with. Explain why you would like to spend timewith this person. Include reasons and details to support your response.
Describe a person whomyou would like to talk with often (this person could be one of your closefriends, family members or teachers). Explain why you’d like to talk with thisperson and what you talk about?
描述一個對你產生積極影響的人，一個你喜歡與之共度時間的人，以及一個你願意與之說話的人，都可以用以上的思路和語言來表達。
託福口語:託福口語完全攻略
新託福口語專項的準備需要一套系統的學習方法。英語，絕不是你想怎麼說就怎麼說，很多表達都有其固定的模式，因此想要練好口語，至少要選一套好的教材。好的教材應該情景分類，告訴你在什麼場合說什麼樣的話，最好能附有文化背景的介紹，因爲東西方文化差異大，同樣的場景，用中式思想表達可能會鬧出不少笑話。口語教材最好配有磁帶，以便模仿和記憶。建議選用由英、美國人編寫的經典口語教材，例如《走遍美國》、《英語900句》等。
口語教材選定以後，就要反覆跟磁帶模仿直至能完全背誦。如何檢驗自己對教材的掌握程度呢?李陽介紹的方法還是不錯的，即把句型的英文遮住，對着中文說英文，再把中文遮住，對着英文說中文，如果能流利做到這兩點，基本就算過了背誦這一關了。另外，在學習過程中，要特別注意那些與中式思維不同的表達方式，比如說，“Wouldyoumindgivingmeapush?”很多人會不假思索地答“Yes，ofcourse”，其實正確回答應該是“Notatall”。推薦大家背誦一些精華短句，一定會對口語有幫助：
