Question:
Some people who unexpectedly receive a large amount of money spend it on practical things, while others spend it for pleasure only, which do you think is better and why?
一.思路解析
首先,这个问题主要是为大家会把钱花在实用的东西上还是把钱用在娱乐上。在托福口语考试中,无论大家选择哪个方面,只要大家言之成理即可,无论选择哪个方面,都没有好坏之分。但是需要注意的是,希望大家在选择的时候选择对自己而言比较容易组织语言的方面。
小编将要从这两个方面分别进行论述。
如果选择买实物,首先,如果买一些实物,可以留存很久。但是如果买娱乐类的东西,转瞬即逝。
其次如果选择消费在一些娱乐上,那是因为生命短暂,每一天都需要努力的过;而且在钱不是问题的时候去周游世界可以增长见闻;其次如果这些钱都用来购买实物,在生命终结的时候,这些物品也不再属于你了。
那么这些论点该怎样用英语来表达呢?

二.范文
I prefer spending my money for pleasure only if I unexpectedly receive a large amount of it. First of all, I believe that life is short and I must live it to the fullest. I’ve always wanted to travel the entire world before I’m too old to do so. Nothing’s more exciting than meeting people from different cultures and listening to their stories. Also, spending money on buying things isn’t the thing for me. Because I believe that things you own end up owning you. It’s so easy for people to get caught up on buying stuff they don’t need, and spend all the time attending to them so they remain pristine.

四. 重点句型
1. I prefer spending my money for pleasure only if I unexpectedly receive a large amount of it.
prefer doing更喜欢做….,only if只要……就,只要我意外的得到了一笔钱,我会把这些钱花在娱乐上。这句话表明了作者在二选一中所做的选择,希望大家在考试中也要首先表明并确定自己的立场。
2. First of all, I believe that life is short and I must live it to the fullest.
First of all首先,that引起了宾语从句,to the fullest尽情的,最充分的。首先,生命短暂,我要用尽全力的生活。这句话是作者支撑自己观点的第一个论点。
3. I’ve always wanted to travel the entire world before I’m too old to do so.
too…to句型表示太…而不能….。我总是想在自己太老而不能想做什么就去做什么值钱去周游全世界,这句话用自己的经历丰富充实了第一个论点。
4. Also, spending money on buying things isn’t the thing for me.
spend on doing花费时间做….,并且,花钱去买一些实物对我而言并不是最好的选择。这是作者支撑自己观点的第二个论点。
5. It’s so easy for people to get caught up on buying stuff they don’t need, and spend all the time attending to them so they remain pristine.
It is+adj+for sb+ to do sth,对某人而言做某事是怎样的,caught up抓住,陷入;spend time doing sth。很多人太容易陷入到一个怪圈,有钱的时候会大量的买自己不需要的东西,然后花费很多时间去清理它们。
