一.托福口语文化类话题都考什么
文化类话题,考察的主要是个人对于一些历史遗迹或者建筑的态度,比如让考生选择自己对于某些城市现在鼓励用旧建筑代替新建筑或者政府现在该不该投资到文化产品上的态度,这类题目的出题形式一般是二选一,考生只需要选择其中的一方并且表达自己的观点即可。出题形式主要包括以下两类:
1. Should a city try to preserve its old,historic buildings or destroy them and replace them with modern buildings? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. 2. Some people think that the government should invest money on art and culture like museums and theaters. Others don’t think so. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
但是因为考生对于形容名胜古迹的词汇和句型并不了解,而且也不知道该利用哪些万能理由充实自己的论点,所以对于这类话题而言,很多考生都觉得十分的困难。但是这些困难并不是不可克服的,只要我们掌握了以下的技巧和方法就一定可以在考试中取得高分!

钱涉及了生活中的方方面面,在这类话题中也不例外,很多建筑物的维护和修缮都需要付出大量的金钱。

I think a city should try to preserve its old,historic buildings for the following reasons. Firstly, it can enrich the leisure time of people(对应万能理由3). It is better to visit museums or watch a live performance than to be a “coach potato” on weekends and holidays. Also, art and culture are long-lasting. Keeping these buildings will benefit the future society .They will help people understand the world we lives in better.
