What type of book do you enjoy reading, history, romance or other? Include details and examples to support your response. (2008.10.18=2008.10.17)

遇到这样的问题，如果在平时对类似话题没有任何准备的情况下，要在15秒内完成构思，可能还是有些难度的。教研君还是鼓励大家，在平时准备口语任务时，尽量把相关话题放在一起练习，这样既能提高复习效率，也为考场上应对类似话题做好充分准备。

下面，就分别从history和romance作为切入点，对话题进行阐述。托友们在平时准备时，也可以这样去练习，举一反三，触类旁通。

Sample 1

结构提纲：

Intro: history books

Body:
1. real stories
2. problems are faced by all people, moral values
Transitional words: First, Second, Finally

结语：Let's read.

According to Francis Bacon, histories make men wise. 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.
