大家好，我是SK2 TOEFL 衝刺班的口說顧問David 。
今天繼續和同學分享口說獨立題的難題分析：怎樣的理由是合理的？
81. Some people think that the news about the celebrities is not
useful because it’s irrelevant. Others think it is useful. What
do you think? Why?
I agree.
This is because useful refers things that are beneficial to our
life, and the news about the celebrities are not beneficial to our
life at all.
可以，清楚定義了何謂”useful”，再回到news about celebrities 判斷
敘述是否為真。
94. Agree or disagree: Teenagers nowadays are not as honest as
teenagers in the past.
I agree.
This is because honest means not tell lies to others, and
teenagers nowadays lie to others more often than before.
沒問題，本題屬難題講的「態度／目的題」，理由句首先很清楚地定義了何
謂”honest”：說謊，接著告訴我們nowadays 年輕人較常說謊useful，因
此我們「同意」。
示範例子：如何具有說服力。
For example, nowadays anonymous Internet forums are really
popular, like the really famous BBS in Taiwan called PTT. More
than 1 million young people use it to discuss matters with others
everyday, and they often tell lies about who they are, what they
think, etc. However, in the past, there’s no internet, so people
could only talk to others in person, and it’s more difficult to
tell lies.
105. Agree or disagree: Animals should be treated equally as
humans.
這題非常難，我們來看幾個不同的版本、講法：
1) I agree.
This is because animal are creatures with feelings or emotions,
and creatures with feeling or emotions should be treated equally
with humans.
可以，首先說明animals 是什麼樣的creature，接著定義了什麼樣的情況之
下，creatures “should be treated equally”.
2) I agree.
This is because creatures that have emotions and feel pain should
be treated equally, and both animals and humans have emotions and
can feel pain.
可以，和前者概念相同，但是優先定義了什麼樣的情況之下，creatures “
should be treated equally”，再拉回主題。先定義，再拉回來，聽起來
會更切題，因此1) 優於2)
I agree.
This is because creatures that have emotions and feel pain should
be treated equally, and animals have emotions and can feel pain
just like human.
和2) 幾乎一樣，差別在於後面半句：both 都可以，還是just like
human。
差別在什麼地方？在於稍後example 舉的細節例子的細微差別，同學們可以
思考一下。
I agree.
This is because people should respect all life forms, and by
treating animals equally as human, we can show respect to all life
forms.
和前三者都不同，從people 出發而非定義：在什麼樣的情況之下，
creatures “should be treated equally”。
然而也可以，聽完之後覺得很清楚，也知道稍後example 要舉例從人出發，
人應該怎麼做，才會對物種表達尊重。
再次提醒各位，只有擁有一套清晰的思考系統，你才能在托福口說獨立題，
題目限制的15秒鐘之內，快速審題、想點，並確保你也能講出有邏輯、有說
服力的example 。
