托福口語(yǔ)的獨(dú)立任務(wù)部分考察學(xué)生用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)與意見(jiàn)的能力，其中涉及話(huà)題多樣，而由于托福考試旨在考察學(xué)生實(shí)際在國(guó)外讀大學(xué)會(huì)用到的英語(yǔ)，它的場(chǎng)景往往設(shè)定為大學(xué)校園，因此考察話(huà)題其實(shí)也和學(xué)術(shù)文化更有關(guān)聯(lián)。其中書(shū)籍類(lèi)是比較常考到的口語(yǔ)話(huà)題，而其實(shí)如果學(xué)會(huì)巧妙地思路轉(zhuǎn)換并積累適當(dāng)?shù)目谡Z(yǔ)素材，我們完全可以輕松應(yīng)對(duì)所有書(shū)籍類(lèi)話(huà)題。

我們來(lái)看一個(gè)經(jīng)典Task 1，來(lái)自TPO1：

Talk about a book you read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to support your answer.

這個(gè)題就是需要考生描述一本重要的書(shū)籍，還要給出重要的理由。在這里，我們要知道，考官并不真的在乎我們要說(shuō)的書(shū)是什么!題目需要我們展示的是書(shū)為什么重要、如何重要，并不一定要講述書(shū)的內(nèi)容。只要我們?cè)诖痤}時(shí)留言流暢，和話(huà)題相關(guān)就可以得到不錯(cuò)的分?jǐn)?shù)。

所以大家的思路轉(zhuǎn)換大法是：

1.談感受

例如：故事很有趣，我們可以這么說(shuō)：The story in the book was so interesting and appealing that once I began to read it, I couldn’t stop. /The book was so fun to read that I couldn’t help laughing every time I read it. It brought me a lot of happiness.

再或者：故事很有意義，我們可以這么說(shuō)：The story in the book was not only exciting but also inspiring. It taught me so much about the world we were living and showed me different ways people thought. /The story was meaningful and inspiring. It taught me to keep going and never give up, which is the most important lesson in life.

2.談功能

例如：書(shū)本可能會(huì)對(duì)你的學(xué)業(yè)有幫助，我們可以說(shuō)：The book is beneficial to my academic learning. It provides much extra information on my major courses in addition to school textbooks.

又或者：此書(shū)還可能幫你交到朋友：To be honest, I met my girlfriend thanks to this book. We were sitting in the reading room next to each other and reading the same book! What a coincidence! Then we began to talk about how much we liked the writer and his books. Next thing you knew, she gave me her number!
