大家应该注意到，每道题都有较固定的出题套路。也就是说虽然我们事先不知道题目里面是什么内容，但是大方向我们一旦把握，考试时明显可以很快地掌握题目的真谛。其次么，我们更应该高兴的是，除了出题有大方向外，答题其实也能总结出相应的方向，考试时也就是套用一下。

举第一题为例，它的出题方向是官方指南上告诉我们的，总结一下无非是：

"Describe a person/place/object/event which you familiar with, and give reasons why enjoy it?"再简化一下就成了：

→ describe something

→ give reasons/details.

根据以上提示，我们还会如何害怕走进考场呢?而且人家还特地问那些我们熟悉的话题，保证每个人都有话可说，已经是很够意思的了吧?考试时看到题目的第一刻就是找出那个"something"是什么。这样，题目旨意就被轻易抓住。来看一个真题，大家来抓抓题旨吧：

What new skill would you like to learn? Explain why this skill would be good for you to have.

根据大方向，我们很快就知道中心任务了：

→ describe a skill

→ give reasons why it is good

接着就是组织答题。根据出题方向以及答题时间综合考虑后，我们认为用"两段式"就很够用。首先就是说出TOPIC，然后就是将自己在准备时间中想出的两个左右的理由完整的给出。很干脆，很经济，很实用。在此给出一个参考答案：

I would like to learn how to play the guitar if there's any chance for me. Now I can't play a musical instrument, so this would be a new skill for me.

It would be a good skill to have because I could take my guitar to parties and play music for my friends. Also, I could join a band and play songs with other musicians. Maybe I could make money that way. Finally, I might be able to meet some other friends with the same interest.

我们了解了上述题目的托福口语技巧后，就可以举一反三，使用在其他的考题中，因为所有的题目都有一曲同功之妙。这些都是掌握托福口语技巧需要把握的规律。
