选项
答案     If I could live anywhere in the world, I would choose to live in Tuscany. It’s a region of Italy, which is famous for its vineyards and hill towns. I really like the rolling hills. Depending on the time of year you visit, the hillsides are red with poppies, green with vines, or yellow with sunflowers. And I love the long history of the place. Where I come from, we are proud of our long national history. It’s interesting to compare our own history and theirs. So I really enjoy the sense of time that the medieval towns and villages hold. That way, I would be close enough to visit the markets and shops, but I also would be able to enjoy the peaceful countryside.
解析     这是独立型题目的第一种题型。比起口语部分的其他题型，这种题型允许考生自由地表达自己的想法。可能有些考生会觉得比较简单，其实正因如此，答案也会比较宽泛，难以抓住主题。所以，即使对口语很有把握，也需要对这部分进行充分的准备。如果用母语来回答这一主题，大家会流利地脱口而出吗?在规定的时间里把自己的想法有条理地表达出来，无论是用母语还是用外语都不是件容易的事。因此，多加练习是非常重要的。可以准备各种主题反复练习表达自己的观点。如果能够组成小组来练习，效果会更好。
    如果条件不允许，也可以两个人练习，甚至也可以一个人用录音机来练习。在准备托福考试的时候，很重要的一点就是要习惯用英文来做笔记。要习惯于把脑海里想到的内容尽快地记录下来，既包括主要概念，也包括次要内容，尽量用英语记录。我们来看一下参考答案，答题者选择了想在托斯卡纳生活。对于这样的问题，不能花太多时间去思考地点。纽约也好，巴黎也好，罗马也好，只要是自己去过的地方或者自己比较了解的地方，从中迅速选择一处，再集中精力去想其中的细节即可。答题者应主要围绕以下几点进行回答：
    1. vineyards, hill towns—poppies, vines，sunflowers (comparison: color)
    2. history—medieval towns, villages (comparison: my hometown)
    3. want to live—countryside (advantage: market, shops but peaceful)
    在记录某个概念或者细节的时候，没有必要在乎语法和单词的准确性，只要自己能随时理解意思并判断出其相关的内容就可以。实际上，像上面那样做记录也是不太现实的，有时候可以用一些简单的缩写或者符号，例如：comparison写成comp. ，advantage写成ad.。但是这样的词也不需要提前定好了记住，而是在做笔记的过程中认识到其必要性后创造出来使用的。
