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(jīng)歷，比如寫旅行日記或者拍照，有些人則不這么做。你會怎么選擇？

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！

你只要說出你選擇的原因就好了，再加點自己的親身經(jīng)歷?？偨Y(jié)來說就是：想想你會怎么做？

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

備考方法論

托福備考的閉環(huán)是由學(xué)習(xí)，練習(xí)，反思組成的。

老師全程指導(dǎo)的托福之星系列打卡營 —— 21 天突破口語就是按照這個閉環(huán)設(shè)計的，有同一目標(biāo)的學(xué)員聚在一起，在新一老師的指導(dǎo)下，刷口語真題，聽講評，收反饋，最后訂正錯題。

在 21 天內(nèi)，你的學(xué)習(xí)過程將會經(jīng)歷以下幾個階段：

階段一：熟悉托?？荚嚨目挤ê统？荚掝}

階段二：提升你的詞匯量、語法，熟悉句子結(jié)構(gòu)，記憶口語素材

階段三：學(xué)會如何正確使用你已經(jīng)掌握的詞匯、句子和口語素材

階段四：在口語中流利地表達(dá)你的觀點、運(yùn)用你所學(xué)的知識

階段五：你的口語高光時刻！

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
