托福口语task1需要考生对人、事、地、物进行描述，在15s的时间内构思，并在45s内作答，对大部分学生难度较大。所以整理答题思路和准备答题素材素材尤为重要。今天为大家带来关于托福口语事物类话题——书籍的素材，希望对大家备考托福口语有所帮助。

　　1.对书籍的类别进行提问，描述喜欢的书的类型并说明原因

　　例：What type of book do you enjoy reading, history, romance or other? Include details and examples to support your response.

　　注意：以下范例内容字数较多，而托福独立口语答题时间有限，学生在规定时间内是答不出以下范例中所有内容的，大家只需要借鉴以下内容思路，从中找出重点即可。

　　答题范例一：选择历史书籍类

　　According to Francis Bacon, histories make men wise. (引用)And I firmly believe in this statement. So, sometimes I spend hours reading stories in the history books.

　　First, although the events or stories described in those books happened long time ago, they are real stories and can help us to have a general idea of what the society was like during a particular period of time in history. Besides, it is fascinating to know how people of our age live hundreds of years ago. What do they pursue in life? Do we still have something in common? I think some moral values are well inherited by modern people though the society changes quickly. For example, we should respect the elder and cherish the young.

　　Second, we may come across some problems in our own life. Sometimes, the problems seem so overwhelming that we cannot handle. Actually, some problems are faced by all people no matter which era of the history we belong to. For example, how should we face the loss of our closest family members? Or how should we face death ourselves? Or what's the meaning of life? If we can read those stories about how our ancestors face these problems, we may have a greater respect to life and hold a more positive attitude towards life.

　　Finally, I still like to say that histories do make people wise. Let's read.

　　答题范例二：选择言情书籍类

　　Love is an everlasting topic in our life. That's why I enjoy reading romances.Since the plots in those stories are not real, reading the stories in an unreal world is a good way for us to flee away from the reality and relax ourselves. The unpredictable development of plots in a novel like Pride and Prejudice may make us laugh one moment and cry the next. It's a good way to leave behind our own troubles in life. Some critics even say that sad episodes in a novel can make us reflect on our own life and make us feel happy.

　　In addition, since English is a foreign language for me, it is a quite good opportunity to learn the authentic language when I read romances. Usually the learning process starts when I read the story for the second or third time because I'm attracted to the plots when I read it for the first time. If time permits, I would like to underline the beautiful sentences and recite them so that I can learn them by heart.

　　Language learning can be painstaking, but learning language by reading a romantic story is an effective approach to making the learning process more interesting.

　　2.对具体的一本书进行提问，描述喜欢的一本书并说明原因

　　例：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.

　　答题范例一：答题角度是书籍内容的意义。

　　3 months ago, I read a book called The Five People You Meet in Heaven written by Mitch Albom. It recounts the life and death of a simple yet dignified old man, Eddie. After dying in an accident trying to save a little girl in an amusement park, Eddie finds himself in heaven where he encounters five people who have significantly affected his life. The 5 lessons Eddie learnt about brotherhood, sacrifice, forgiveness, love and purpose of life have also enlightened me. That book changed my attitude towards life and death. It taught me to cherish life more than ever.

　　解题思路二：答题角度，书带来的影响l

　　On my book shelf, there is a hard-covered book-Hamlet-that I have been treasured for years.It was given to me as a reward for my progress in Language Arts course by my high school English teacher Mr Cave. In my 10th grade, I developed a special interest in classical literature. I was crazy about Shakespeare's play despite my weak English foundation/the lack of English proficiency. Over the 2 years, I have studied hard and improved my Language Arts' grade from a C to an A. Therefore, my Mr Cave gave me this book in my graduation day and told me to keep my interest in classical literature. This book is very significant to me because it has become the motivation for my pursuit in English Literature in University.

　　以上两个角度都可以对题目作出回应，希望能够激发大家的一些思路并积累到自己的素材库中。
