托福独立口语怎么练
口语是很多考生准备托福时的老大难。ETS今年发布的年度报告显示,中国考生的口语平均成绩只有19分。
19分是个什么水平?全球赴美读研的非英语母语申请者中,只有27%的考生口语成绩在19分以下。当你的口语达到22分时,你也只超过了全球50%的美研考生。可见,大家进步的空间还很大。
那么托福口语到底应该怎么准备呢?这里小编单说独立口语部分。
托福独立口语因考题杂、话题广、深度大令不少考生头疼。如何进行有效的练习将直接影响大家最终的考试结果。这里新东方小编和大家分享几个实用有效的备考建议。
首先,以TPO作为复习主线。大家都知道TPO是托福备考的最佳材料。尽管是已经不适用的托福真题,但TPO中仍包含与考试大量相关重复话题,如传统的科技类、职业类题目。如果TPO所有独立题踏实看过准备过,相信大家在考试中遇到传统话题一定能够从容面对。
第二,对于考场上遇到不熟悉或难区分类型的独立口语题目,TPO不完整的情况下可以用托福真题补充。备考时,TPO+真题两手都要抓。
第三,利用生活点滴养成每天录音的习惯。对于有思路、语言问题不大的同学,考场上15秒以高度流利、高效形式说出好语言内容有难度。可以每天给自己1分钟,15秒钟准备,45秒钟录音。针对生活中的任何话题进行简短陈述。
如有同学每天用手机中的老照片练习描述当时场景,比如一张是和女朋友合影,一张是和爷爷生日聚会。这个方法可以涉及人称、过去式语法、事件叙述、举例子等独立口语答题中经常碰到的问题。甚至可以就每天的微博微信朋友圈做简单陈述发表看法。
最后,输出的前提是输入,开不了口可以从模仿开始。先模仿TPO的范文进行跟读建立语言的输入基础,然后再研究怎样输出。
并且,综合口语中Task2都是校园类话题,与独立口语话题接近,这些例子也可以相互应用。
托福口语不同分数段如何复习
中国考生的托福均分是79分,其中托福口语均分19,大量中国考生的托福口语“被困”在这个分数上下,大家可以对号入座。笔者的学生中有不少是独立备考,结果考了两三次也不过18、20分,最后才来上课的。这两个分数的中国考生,按照正态分布,数量可以在30%上下。
而就算一个中国考生非常努力,突破20分,一般也会卡在23分上,笔者简单统计数据显示,能够考到23分之上的考生,占中国考生总数恐怕不会超过10%,令人遗憾。
笔者相信大多考生对于这几个“坎”心知肚明,网络之上也绝不缺少各种各样的分析文章,从“中国人英语不行”的悲观论、到“考官压中国人分数”的阴谋论以及各种软文广告文比比皆是,笔者甚至于在参加托福考试官方的活动的时候遇到有人当面质问官方工作人员“为什么要压分让中国考生几乎无法通过23这个坎”的可笑情况。之所以会有这样种.种“有趣”的声音,主要还是因为大家对于考试的不了解。今天笔者希望带大家分析口语分数的“坎”这个问题,再跟大家分享一些实际的学生突破这些坎的经验,希望能让大家摆脱各种误解,向正道进发。
首先,我们来做一个分数的分析,这三个分数段分别意味着什么
18分在分数报告上一般是一个Fair和两个limited,实际上是两个题目3分和四个题目2分。其中3分意味着答题在语言上和内容上是成功的,但是还有一些问题;2分意味着答题在语言上和内容上是失败的,要么是语言流畅度或者语法会严重地影响日常交流,比如太慢或者是停顿太多;要么是内容有重大错误,比如例子讲不出来。值得注意的是,口语发音带有中国口音不会阻止考生拿到3分,毕竟印度考生平均分也有23分(根据官方成绩报告)。另外用词简单或者句子比较简单也不会阻止考生拿到3分,因为口语当中语言的复杂程度是不重要的。所以分数偏低的考生们,需要在语言是否流畅、语句词汇能否表达出自己的意思和题目要求的内容有没有说出来这三点上进行努力。
而如果考生可以在所有题目上都得到3分,那就是23分了,这便是又一个坎。大家如果得到了这个分数,接下来就是分析考官在3分和4分要求上的不同了。3分意味着答复基本成功但是还有问题;4分就意味着答题很成功、没有任何明显的问题了。所以3和4的距离是巨大的,在流畅、清晰、语言正确、答题内容正确等方面都有差距。这也就是为什么很少有中国考生能够考到23以上。
问题分析清楚了,接下来,我们就可以来研究一下对策了。
首先,口语卡18分的同学,一般而言只有Campus Situations可以获得Fair的评价;而卡20分的同学,通常是Academic Situations拿不到Fair。这意味着,卡在这两个分数段上的同学,在语言基本功,也就是语音语调流畅度词句使用等方面是没有特别明显够不上Fair级别的问题的,因为如果能力不够的话,根本连Campus Situations的Fair都拿不到不是么?所以,所有卡在18的同学,都请审视自己在拿不到Fair的题目中所遇到的问题,包括但不仅限于常犯的语法错误、独立题的观点/理由和题目是否相关、听力笔记是不是记得太多/太少或者听力听不明白等等。类似的,卡在20分就意味着恐怕第四、第六两题没有达到考试要求,那么就额外需要提升听力与对应的笔记能力。笔者建议,虽然这两者其实不适合简单分割,提升“听懂听力”的能力可能比提升“记录笔记”的能力更重要。因此考生需要背诵单词、做精听(听写)与泛听(多听各种听力、重复听同一篇听力),从而让自己做到“听力中的大多数内容都能听懂”,达到这一步基本上全3分也就不再是太大的问题。所以说,卡在这两个分数段的同学,想要经过努力提升到22/23分左右是没有什么大问题的。
关键词:听取自己的录音;审视问题;纠正错误;做题;需要练习听力。
接下来,更重要的是那些卡在23分的同学们。一个人如果拿到了23,那意味着他/她每一道题都拿到了3分,注意不仅仅是fair而是3分,因为fair也可以是2.5(一题2一题3平均)。这意味着这个考生需要做的,如我们此前所说,是审视一下评分标准里3分和4分的区别。为了帮助大家节约时间,笔者这里给大家提供一下主要的区别:主要的区别在于,3分的答复,只需要在清晰流畅、语句通顺、内容正确等方面做到“基本ok”;并且只需要做到三项中的两项就可以了。前半句意味着,3分的答复可能需要全面的提升,但是每一项需要提升的地方都不多;后半句意味着,3分的答复可能需要在某个方面有巨大的提升,才能变成4分的答复。因此,考生需要审视自己的答复,判断这样一个问题:“我是还算清楚流畅内容正确、但是还是有五六个嗯嗯啊啊的停顿、或者是内容没说清楚连接词没用对”还是“我这答复听起来相当不流畅/逻辑不清楚,但是其他方面做得蛮不错”,因为这样两种答复都可能获得3分。如果这位考生的问题是前者,那么可能需要综合提高能力并且坚持刷题;如果问题是后者,那么这位考生需要针对这个很差的地方进行提升。
关键词:学习评分标准;听自己录音;视情况综合提高或恶补一项。
篇2:托福口语提高方法:巧用托福口语连接词
托福口语提高方法:巧用托福口语连接词
在看托福口语连接词之前,我们先来看一个例子:
下面是以为同学针对问题“What is an activity that you enjoy doing with your friends and why? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.”的回答。
There are two reasons why I think so. One reason is that playing sports help us create strong bonds of friendship. It creates many opportunities of cooperation if we have to beat others when play in a group.I don’t like exercising alone. It is really boring if you have to repeat some moves.I am really interested in playing sports with my friends.
第一句是总起句,应该用表起始的连接词,如: in the beginning, in the first place,等等;第二句是第一句的解释,因此可以用that is to say, in other words等等来联系这些关系。表递进的关系,可以用moreover。下面我们来看看修改后的答案。
As far as I am concerned, I really love playing sports with my friends. There are two reasons why I think so. Actually, one reason is that playing sports helps us create strong bonds of friendship. You know, it creates many opportunities of cooperation if we have to beat others when play in a group. Also, I don’t like exercising alone. Because it is really boring if you have to repeat some moves. For these two reasons, I am really interested in playing sports with my friends.
这样看起来,用上连接词以后,整个答案读起来都通顺了许多。

托福口语有口音会被扣分吗?
托福考试的口语测试环节对学生而言是一个表现并展示自己口语技能的很好的机会。然而,一些学生可能会对自己的口音感到担忧,也会对考试材料中即将听到的口音担忧。
在您准备托福考试的口语测试环节时请记住以下 4 项要点。
1、每个人都会有口音! 即使以英语为母语的人也有不同的口音。世界上不存在两名口音相同的考生。
2、考试和备考资料包含许多不同口音的本土英语的实例,而您出国学习时会听到这些口音。在练习听力时多听这些口音可以帮助您熟悉世界各地的发音方式。
3、继续练习清晰的发音、恰当的句子结构和思维方式。如果您对这 3 项重要技能进行实战练习,将使托福?评分人更容易理解您的回答。评分人受过训练,负责对来自全世界考生的回答进行评分。所以口音这一因素不应影响您的分数。
4、流畅表达。强制性使用令自己感到不舒服的口音讲话不会对您的分数有帮助。与其追求完美的口音,不如使自己的回答合理又富有节奏性,即便有少许错误也可以接受。
托福口语范文:校园里最感兴趣的活动
题目
Which of the following volunteering activities inside the campus is the one you are most interested in?
--planting flowers
--picking garbage and plastic in the campus
--painting
Sample Response
Given the choice, I would be most interested in doing painting as a volunteer on campus.
I think painting is the best use of my skills because I am very good at it. I had a part-time job over the summer helping paint houses, so I can do a professional job. It makes sense for me to volunteer at something I do better than other students.
I also like the idea of painting because it is a permanent change to the campus. My contributions can be enjoyed by students for years to come. My painting can make the campus a more beautiful place.
For these reasons, I would most enjoy volunteering as a painter for my college.

篇4:托福口语用法技巧
托福口语模板怎么用才能有助提分
托福口语模板要根据不同题型分别准备
针对托福口语的第一二题,我们常把它称作独立任务。应对这样的托福口语考试题目,我们可以准备一些常用的口语段子。例如敬佩的人,喜欢的动物,喜欢的地方,难忘的事,对你最有影响的人等等。很多段子是可以回答不同题目的。考生针对这两题需要准备的就是一些可以套用到不同题目中的模板。例如,题目要你说对你最有影响的人,或让你说你最敬佩的人,就可以使用同一个段子。所以大家可以根据人、事、物、地点等,准备几个属于自己的口语模板,这样在需要时就可得心应手。
而托福口语后面的题目则需要别的口语模板。针对托福口语的3-6题,大家可以做出问题的基本框架,利用这个框架来帮住自己理清思路。把听到的内容填进空中,再在相关的地方填上自己的看法,这样答案便可轻松得到了。
结合实战练习测试托福口语模板实用度
在做了上述准备后,你便可以自己托福口语考试实战练习,看看自己的能力了。你可以利用托福官方指南OG和两大模拟考软件kaplan和barron来多加练习。另外到了考前最后一个月,把预测的题目全部做一遍,测一下自己的口语水平。记得结合自身使用的模板来进行。大家可以把预测的托福口语题目一个不漏的全部做完,这样不仅可以锻炼托福口语技巧,增强能力,重要的不会为自己托福口语考试时遇到出现过的题目却不会做而留下遗憾。在这个过程中,哪些模板适用性更强更容易使用便会根据不同考生区分出来,大家只要保留10个以内自己说起来最习惯的口语模板即可,确保所有模板加起来能覆盖到至少80%的题目就算是合格了。
实战中结合草稿笔记合理套用模板
托福口语考试需要你在听到题目的第一刻将该说的准备好,大脑迅速地做出反应,闪现灵感,等到提示音响起时,你就要开始大声响亮的说出你的答案。它锻炼一个人的口、耳、脑的协调能力,是一个需要争分夺秒的技术活。另外在准备时你也可以在草稿纸上写下准备内容,可以看草稿回答。因此有没有充分的准备也影响着你的发挥。而口语模板的存在就能起到定心丸的作用,考生一边做记录的时候一边就可以开始回忆自己记住的那些模板,从中挑选出待会儿要用的模板并将其合理带入口语回答当中,这样模板的价值就能得到有效发挥了。
以上这些就是关于托福口语模板的准备和运用心得经验,想要考场上更轻松平时就需要多花功夫,想要结合托福口语模板来备考的同学还请好好学习一下本文里关于模板准备和运用的技巧方法,相信会让大家有所收获。
托福口语范文:实地接受采访还是电话采访
题目
A company plans to interview you. You can go to their company for the interview, but the company is far from where you live. Or you can have a telephone interview. Which do you prefer? Why?
Sample Response
I would rather have an interview at a company than over the telephone for two reasons.
First, I show the company that I am really interested in working there because I am willing to go to the effort of traveling far. Therefore, the company may be more willing to hire me.
Second, I can learn more about the company if I visit it. I may even be able to get a tour. Seeing the company will help me decide if I really want to work there or not.
Those are the reasons I prefer to have an interview at the company rather than on the phone.
托福口语范文:如何帮助大一新生了解校园
题目
Which of the following methods do you think can help freshman students learn about their campus?
--Arrange a partner from sophomore students
--Organize a campus tour
--Set up a Q & A center
Sample Response
I think the best way for a school to teach its freshmen students about its campus is to pair each student with a sophomore.
Every student has different concerns, and some of the questions may be very specialized. Asking a person one-on-one is the most efficient way of addressing individual questions.
Since sophomores have recently gone through the process of entering the school, they also understand the fears that the freshmen face. They can offer needed friendship and support to make the students comfortable.
Pairing a new student with a sophomore is therefore the best way to teach freshmen about a campus.

托福口语备考阶段的学习建议有哪些
新托福考试最大的特点是增加了口语部分,而口语部分正是中国考生的弱项,很多学生从小学、初中开始学英语,却一直学的是“哑巴英语”,掌握的都是“纸上谈兵”的本领——只会做题不会说。当遇到外国人或者到了需要开口说英语的环境里,很多学生开始胆怯了,或者说一句话要提前构思很久,想想自己的语法有没有错误。
新托福口语考试是考察考生使用英语表达自己观点的能力,考察考生能否在英语环境里顺利和别人交流,表述清楚自己的意思。有些考生跟别人对话时会感到紧张而语无伦次,新托福考试里只要求考生和机器对话,所以有这种顾虑的考生可以轻松面对。
新托福考试口语的备考中,平时的练习是至关重要的,而在练习中练就一口漂亮流利的英文也不是一日之功,正可谓“不积跬步,无以至千里;不积小流,无以成江海”,练习重在平时的积累。
新托福考试口语的备考中,建议考生多多为自己创造听说英语的环境,有条件的话多多使用电脑或影碟机放一些原版电影,通过录像机、录音机或光盘,有意识或无意识地跟听或跟说英语,也可以上网与北美人士交流。新托福口语考试主要是考察考生使用英语与别人进行交际、交流的能力,但是另外一点,考生的语音语调等因素也非常重要,某种程度上说,这些都会影响到考生的成绩。
新托福考试口语备考中,平时的跟读、模仿对于提高考生的口语发音非常有用,考生也可以跟读一些托福的听力材料,以此来训练自己的语感。在练习时,建议考生平时多练习面对墙壁或者面对镜子来说话,练习口语,力图达到自然流畅的程度。时间和设备允许的话,可使用录音笔或者电脑等将自己的发音录下来,两相比较,找到自己的弱点。
新托福口语考试时,考生一定要抓住重点来表达自己的观点,对于阅读短文回答问题的题目,考生一定要尽量去注意话题和概括内容,不要把精力放在一些细节上。对于先听听力后回答问题的题目,听材料时,一定要把握段落的主题思想,尤其注意材料中经常重复的单词和断语。在做笔记时,要抓住重点,快速写下主要观点、论据等,要仔细审题,不要答非所问。
新托福口语考试时,考生不要过分紧张,就当作时平时的说话,对着话筒回答问题时尽量不慌不忙,做到发音清晰,语言流畅。在用词方面尽量小心谨慎,特别是对于考题中要求的重要词汇要正确使用,语速保持正常即可,在叙述观点中可以使用一些过渡词句,也是给自己喘息的机会,尽量多使用自己熟悉的词汇,以减少错误。此外还要把握好时间,最后如果时间还允许的话,考生可以用一两句话简单进行总结。
总之,综上所述,大家一定要平时多做托福口语练习,摆脱哑巴英语的习惯,争取拿个托福口语高分回来。加油!
托福口语应遵循的四原则是什么
1.准确性原则(Accuracy)
准确性强调要准确挖掘与获取听、读材料的中心思想与细节内容,不能任凭主观臆想;同时还要注意用准确的语言输出。
2.完整性原则(Integrity)
完整性指的是:一要全面采集与应用听、读材料的信息,特别是不能遗漏任何重要的细节;二是所提供的答案语言要完整。
3.客观性原则(Objectivity)
客观性是指要客观陈述材料内容,不能妄加主观评论(除非有这样的要求)。
4.简洁性原则(Concision)
简洁性强调的是要采用简练的口语进行复述,不应过分堆砌辞藻。(当然了,几十秒钟的时间也不允许这样做。)语言要朴素,同时还要注意避免说出与主题无关的话语,更不能车轱辘话来回说。
篇6:托福口语提升表述流畅度常用连接词介绍
托福口语提升表述流畅度常用连接词介绍分享
托福口语中什么是connection words?
一般来说,在托福口语的表达中,能够起到一定的对叙述框架结构的提示作用的词汇,我们称其为连接词connection words。说得简单一些,就是那些具有逻辑关系上的承上启下作用,用来过渡不同话题或是观点的词汇。以下这几类连接词大家需要学会合理运用到口语表述中:
表达除此之外,另外等含义:In addition, In addition to, besides, also
表达叙述顺序和结构先后:First, second, third
表达转折关系:However, although
表达因果关系:So, thus
托福口语中什么是gap fillers?
与connection words相对的另一种连接词则是gap fillers,这类连接词本身没有特定的含义,其作用如字面所说,就是用来填充话语之间的空隙。相信大家都能体会到,托福口语的准备时间是明显不足的,能够在很短的时间内就打好腹稿组织好整个回答内容的考生很少,大部分同学都需要一边进行叙述一边构思之后要讲的内容在心中组织语言。在这种需要一心二用的答题状态下,考生难免会出现一些接不上话或是磕磕绊绊断断续续的情况。这种情况能否较好地被大家掩饰出不影响整体叙述流畅性,这就需要考生学会运用gap filler了,下面这些gap filler类的连接词大家可以参考一下:
you know
it's like
that thing
ok
right
actually
basically
so
well
I mean
可以看到,这些词汇本身都是不具有实际含义的,纯粹是为了让考生的叙述间隙不那么明显才需要用到,而为了保证叙述的连贯性,小编建议大家能够学会恰到好处地运用它们。
托福口语叙述中不能出现的语气词
如果说用了上面这两类语气词能够为考生的组织语言和表述空档大掩护,那么还有一些语气词则会让本来不是特别明显的叙述空档间隔变得一目了然,这些语气词大家一定要避免在口语叙述过程中出现,哪怕是下意识地使用都不行,这些语气词主要是:
ahh
er
um
这些词汇会把大家正在组织语言不知道接下来要说什么的问题直接暴露在考官面前,放大考生思维速度不够以及表述能力不足的弱点,大家一定要努力避免,尽量用上面的gap filler类词汇来替代掉,养成较好的叙述习惯。
托福考生如何训练运用连接词的能力?
那么,托福考生应该如何训练自己运用连接词的能力呢?其实方法也很简单,那就是直接去模仿那些native speaker的对话,特别是一些即兴演讲类的口语听力材料。这类材料中由于主讲者大多是脱稿即兴演讲,因此在演讲过程中会大量使用到connection words和gap fillers。大家如果能够进行足够的模仿跟读,就能逐步积累运用这些连接词的经验,培养使用习惯,之后自然而然地就能在口语中流畅自如地用出来了。小编比较推荐大家去跟读TED演讲系列内容,对考生提升托福口语连接词使用能力会有不小帮助。
关于托福口语表述中连接词的介绍和使用经验小编就为大家介绍分享到这里。考生如果发现自己在托福口语回答时有比较明显的语句不连贯或是空档等问题,那就需要尽快把训练连接词运用纳入备考计划当中了,而参考本文内容相信会让大家有不错的收获。
托福口语 综合部分第一题做题技巧
新托福独立口语第一题备考策略
当口语基础打好了,能力有了,那么就是一些应试技巧的办法,应试技巧只是帮助你更好的发挥你的能力,而很少有人能够仅仅通过应试技巧拿到高分。
独立考试第一题:
这部分口语考试被称为独立考试,主要是考试的内容可以由考生自由发挥。
口语第一题 Task 1
考试形式:
陈述时间:45s
准备时间:15s, 可以列提纲
话题:一件重要的事情,一次喜爱的活动,一个对自己有影响的人?
要求: 详细描述;给出理由-------(要对题目做出全面的回答------细节描述或事例)?
TIPS:
熟悉话题------准备段子背段子?
关于例子------不要列举过多例子?
答案没有对错之分?
这道题是一定要经过准备的,因为它考查的题目范围并不是日常生活的话题,即使是熟练使用英语的美国人,如果没有经过准备,在15s之内也很难准备出来一个逻辑清楚,有理有据的论述。
很多人拿到口语第一题大脑一片空白,中文思维都没有,何况英文呢,其实这个也是一个积累的过程。口语和作文的准备有时有一种相似性,所以可以一起准备,当看多了范文范例,慢慢去感悟,自然也就有自己的例子和套路。 第一题的内容大多会让你谈论一些你喜欢的人,一些特殊的物品,一些特殊的事件和一些特定的地点, 答案并不一定要真实,但是一定要有理有据。 托福考试只是语言考试,不是面试,所以刚开始准备的同学一定要把思路放开。
这道题一般可以通过机经来进行准备,如果担心不够的话,可以参考口语黄金80题,前四十道题基本概括了这些口语内容,同学们也可以看看各种口语例子集,根据这些资料总结出自己的模版和例子。
托福口语 综合部分第二题做题技巧
托福口语独立考试第二题这部分口语考试被称为独立考试,主要是考试的内容可以由考生自由发挥。下面开看看如何来答题,希望对同学们的托福口语考试有所帮助。
托福口语第二题Task 2
考试形式:
陈述时间:45s
准备时间:15s
TIPS:
一定要对问题的各个部分做出全面的回答
一定要对自己的观点十分清楚--------必须先清楚说明认同哪一个观点
一定要给出做出某个选择的相应理由-------理由必须支持观点
答案没有对错之分
这道题也是独立口语,相对第一题来说,这道题要容易一些,因为它不会涉及很宽泛的范围,通常是让同学们从题目中二选一,表达自己的观点。这道题的题目类型和作文题库185非常的相似,所以也会有考生建议用185作为参考,其实和第一题一样,主要以重点机经的题目为主,可以借助口语黄金80题。口语第二题的题目类型越来越倾向于独立作文185题库,所以同学们也可以参考185范文或者网上的例子模版,构建自己的例子和模版。
备考独立口语时的15秒怎么利用
首先强调的一点是,独立口语是一定要经过准备的,也就是说,在看到题目的时候,同学们不能再花费时间考虑题目怎么展开,而是应该马上就有思路,然后记下来你想说的提纲内容(应该也是背好的)。 15秒的时间,主要记录提纲,至于开头结尾的论述,一定要在备考的时候就非常的熟练。
举个例子:
题目:1内哪个发明发现最有用
15秒笔记:
1. get a large amount of information
2. decrease pollution -- paper, ink
3. provide entertainment -- games, chat
回答范例:
As far as I am concerned, internet is the most useful tool. First of all, we get a large amount of information from it. Equally important reason is that it decreases pollution, for we won‘t use paper and ink any more, thus, less trees will be cut down and less river will be polluted. However, these are not the only two reasons. Internet also provides entertainment such as online games and chat. Therefore, in conclusion, I consider internet is the most useful tool.
托福口语 综合部分第三题做题技巧
新托福口语考试备考及模版之综合口语第三题,这部分的考试是基于阅读和听力的基础。具体介绍如下:
形式:阅读+听力+应答
阅读:
时间: 40秒至45秒
阅读内容:校园生活话题 (75至100words)(大学的政策,规定或者办事程序,大学的计划,校园设施或校园内生活质量)
听力:
时间:60s至80s
内容:话题同阅读,说话者会针对相关话题持鲜明观点,观点分支持反对两种
作答:
依据阅读和听力材料说明学生的观点和学生所给出的理由,考生不需要说明自己的观点!
考察的关系:阅读和听力中综合信息的能力:听力必然和阅读相关;答题必须与听力相关,必须清楚听力和阅读之间的关系
时间: 准备时间:30s;陈述时间:60s
TIPS: 注意逻辑组织:OGP216:开始可以表明说话者的观点 agree or disagree,然后陈述理由。回答尽可能完整。
备考TIPS:
1、阅读的时候要注意记录主题和支撑的观点
2、听力的部分主要记清楚主要人物的观点,以及他支持或反对的理由
3、结构一定要清楚,要用计时软件,多锻炼几次才能在规定时间内把要点说全说清楚。

The university plans to eliminate the bus service because it is too expensive to run and too few students use it. (一句话概括阅读材料的内容)The man disagrees with the university plan. (谈话人态度)He believes the reason few students take the bus is that the route goes to neighborhoods where students do not live. If the routes were changed, many more students would ride the bus. (两句话讲谈话人的第一个观点:校车路线。注意改路线的建议是采用虚拟语气来表述的)The man disagrees with the way the university plans to use the money it saves on the bus service. Building more parking lots on campus will encourage more students to drive on campus. This would increase noise and traffic on campus.(谈话人第二个观点:增加停车场。首先讲谈话人观点:disagree with the way…然后将后果1à后果2)“
范例:OG的范例回答,字数147
The man in the scene said he wanted to keep the bus service for the better being of students on campus, because there is some students who can not afford the car, therefore they use the free bus service even though it isn’t that much. The problem with bus service right now is going through wrong neighbour where it is too expensive for students to live, so what they should do is just change the course of bus. And that will take of the problem. Also, they should encourage more students to use the bus service instead of discourage them. Or if they us the money that they use for bus service to increase the space of the parking lot for the students, which will add to the noise of the campus and will be more congested for all the people who already parking over there.

篇7:托福独立写作中常用的11类连接词总结
It is very difficult for a popular teacher to really help the students learn to the best of their abilities. Popular teachers are more concerned about their image than about pushing students to do their best. As a result, popular teachers are often too easily distracted from the class content, they make the class too easy, and they focus on the students that respond best.
Popular teachers are invariably very social. They try to show that they are interested and involved in the students’ world by discussing sports, television shows, and other things which are not related to the subject. Although such conversation may be fun for the students, it leaves less time to cover class material. I had a teacher once who was so talkative that he only completed half of the topics on the syllabus. The students like myself who were interested in learning the material had to read the second half of the textbook on our own. Sharing funny anecdotes about his weekend activities, that professor did not effectively teach what needed to be covered.
Another potential problem with popular teachers is the desire to give good grades. If a teacher fails a student, the student invariably is not happy. Therefore, popular teachers often make tests very easy so that students can get high scores. This may satisfy students who don’t care about mastering a subject, but the top students are not challenged or pushed to study and reach a higher level of understanding. Giving everyone good grades does not make the class better; itkeeps the stronger students from testing their limits.
Finally, popular teachers often focus on the students who respond well to their teaching style and keep the class entertaining. They call on those students who answer the questions in a funny way rather than students who address the topic in a thoughtful manner. They may even highlight the accomplishments of a few students during their conversations rather than trying to engage and encourage everyone. As a result, some students feel left out, and may even stop attending class. The unpopular students lose motivation and do not excel because they are ignored in favor of students that cater to the popular teacher.
Popular teachers often do a poor job in helping all students learn because they are more interested in socializing than teaching the class material, they want to give good grades rather than challenge students, and they focus on a few students who like the teacher.
help the students learn to the best of their abilities 帮助学生尽其所能地学习
are often too easily distracted from 经常太容易分心
leave less time to do X 为做X留更少的时间
the second half of X X的后半部分
keep the stronger students from testing their limits 阻止较强的学生去测试他们的极限
left out 被忽视,被遗忘
cater to 迎合
篇8:托福独立写作中常用的11类连接词总结
Popular teachers can be effective in helping students to learn. In fact, the very reason that some teachers are popular is that they make the information they are presenting interesting, are available to answer questions, and they take an interest in the students’ activities.
The primary role of a teacher is giving information to students. If teachers create appealing programming that relates to the real world, students will pay attention. The teacher is well-likedbecause the students enjoy learning. It is easier for the student to remember the material, too, when it is presented in a fun manner. For example, I will never forget a physics lesson in which we threw eggs into different types of basket. Although some of the alternatives were messy, I still remember how a flexible surface that catches and moves with the egg will absorb the impact of even the strongest throw, so the egg stays intact. I remember the concept because the teacher was good at engaging the students.
Teachers who are not natural showmen can still be popular by being available to answer any question. Teachers who explain in different ways can clarify doubts, making even the toughest lessons understandable. Teachers can be available in different ways, too. Some teachers are willing to interrupt lessons to explain points. They allow students to ask questions at any time so that no one is confused or left behind. Other teachers have an open office policy where students can drop by and ask questions in a one-on-one setting. Whatever method the teacher uses, it can help the students understand the material and perform better.
Finally, popular teachers take an interest in their students. Talking about hobbies or goals may seem detrimental to a solid education, but in reality, it can help the teacher explain concepts in ways that the students can relate to. Once I was having a hard time in a math class. That teacher sat down and asked about my interests, and he got excited to hear I liked quilting. He pulled out some paper and showed how the things we were learning could help with my hobby: I could calculate the yardage for a pattern or proportionately change the design’s size. I realized that his popularity was not just based on his chattiness; he used the students’ hobbies to make math practical and interesting.
Popular teachers gain their popularity by doing the things that help students excel. They come up with creative lessons, are available to answer questions, and take an interest in their students. As a result, popular teachers can be very good at helping students learn.
is well-liked 受欢迎的
the teacher was good at engaging the students 老师擅于吸引学生
natural showmen 天生的表演家
drop by 顺便拜访
in a one-on-one setting 在一对一的环境下
take an interest in X 对X感兴趣
help students excel 帮助学生出类拔萃

篇11:托福口语中扣分细节
托福口语中这3个扣分细节
托福口语中国考生3类隐患问题介绍
1. 口语发音不标准
托福口语的发音不标准可以说是普遍存在于中国考生当中的一个问题。托福口语考试其实对考生的发音要求并不算高,不是要大家能够做到像是专业新闻播音员那种水平的口语发音,而是要检测考生是否具备了用英语进行基本语言输出的能力。所以,考生即使不能做到用非常标准地道的发音来进行回答,也需要至少保证正确准确的发音,这可以说是考生保证口语得分的基础所在。而正确的口语发音也帮助大家赢得来自考官的好印象,至少在考官仔细琢磨你的回答内容之前帮你赚到一个不错的印象分。因此,口语发音不标准的问题大家一定要注意提前改正,通过对标准发音内容的跟读练习和模仿来锻炼自己的口语发音。
2. 心里想的说不出来
这个问题相信也困扰着不少同学。就好比吵完架很多人会在回想的时候觉得自己没发挥好,口语考试后觉得自己没能说出心里想说的话的同学也绝对不在少数。大家可能在看到口语题目话题时脑子里已经打好了腹稿甚至想出了很多观点论证思路和例子,但到了回答的时候却没法很好地用英文表达出来。考生存在这类隐患的原因在于缺乏口语经验以及口语素材准备不足。缺乏经验会导致大家在开口时候的犹豫不决,而素材准备不足则让大家无法把思维内容很好地转化成实际表述内容。
而想要解决这个问题,就需要大家在口语备考时多做发散性的思维训练,不要只把思路拘泥于托福口语练习给出的题目,平时无论遇到什么事物或是想到什么观点都可以及时开口说出来,多加练习积累经验,话在心头口难开之类的隐患问题就能得以解决。
3. 口语语言质量偏低
除了发音不标准以及表达不到位以外,另外一个会被考生忽略的隐患问题是口语表达本身语言质量的不足。这一点如果考生接触过一些口语回答名师点评之类的学习资料就能发现。实际上语言质量偏低的问题可以说是不少中国考生的通病了。比如不规范的流水句Run-on sentences还有各种表达细节上的时态语法人称错误等等简直是层出不穷。可能会有考生觉得,口语考试只要能够在规定时间内把足够多的内容尽可能说出来就可以了,不用太在意细节。但实际上,考生想要真正获得口语上的提升,语言质量是绝对需要引起重视的。
当然,语言质量的提升很难一蹴而就,还是需要依靠平时的积累。比如一些更得当的句式用法,更地道的词汇搭配等等,同时对自身存在的各类表达上的细节错误也不能姑息放过,发现任何不规范的口语习惯都需要及时纠正过来。通过这系列的训练方式,大家的托福口语语言质量想必就能得到有效提升了。
总而言之,托福口语中存在的各类隐患问题,小编还是希望能够尽早发现尽早治疗的,这样考生才能在口语考试中更为顺利地发挥实力而无需再有后顾之忧。

托福口语考试应知道的秘笈
第一大误区是先Beat around the bush,再渐渐切入正题,最后才做出较为精准的总结。这显然与以汉语为母语的语言交流习惯有关,这在平时的一般交流中或许不那么致命,甚至有些英语为母语的人平时讲话也有这种习惯,但是在一分钟甚至是45秒的答题时间里这样做,就无异于浪费宝贵的答题时间,将60秒或45秒的可用来得分的空间缩小到30秒甚至是20秒,使整个答案的质量大打折扣。
第二大误区是毫无计划地想到哪,说到哪,甚至中途改变主意,否定前面所说内容,做出一个自相矛盾的答案。对于ETS的命题者来说,这两种误区都恰恰暴露了中国学生没有受过系统的Presentation训练的弱点。要知道,在西方特别是北美,这是一项从中小学就开始注重培养的跨学科的综合技能。
那怎样才可以避免以上两种误区呢?下面就结合新托福口语的第一大题型——独立问答题作以解析:
Describe a class you have taken in school and explain why the class was important to you. Include details and examples to support your explanation.
Preparation time: 15 seconds
Response time: 45 seconds
阅读题干应该在5秒内完成,这样就能保证在答题之前有20秒的时间(包括narrator读题时间)进行brain-storming.有关在学校上过的一门课的重要性不外乎从以下几个方面来叙述。
第一,这门课对于其它后续课的奠基作用;第二,所积累的知识对于今后实际运用的指导作用;第三,对于个人综合素质及品位提高的作用。
为什么要分成这么多点论述呢?因为如果只就一个要点深入阐述,很容易走题或进入一个英语无法表达的死角;同时分成若干点还便于控制时间。比如这道题目的45秒答题时间可以分配给每个分点10秒,这样就不会过早或过晚地完成整个答题的语言结构。
至于选什么课来说则遵循什么容易就讲什么的原则,这是因为托福口语考试和ETS其它考试一样是不需要任何专业背景知识的。因此,考生大可以谈一些中学里学过的主课,如数学、语文和外语,而避免谈大学里的专业课,如生物、化学及各类工程类课程等。
在开始答题的时候,应首先说出一句Topic Sentence,点出这门课的名称。如果准备不是很充分,为了避免出现答题空白,可以附带交代这门课的背景信息,如何时选修的、哪位教授任课,但一定要控制在10秒以内。这种技能叫Skill of Buying Time。随后,三条理由依次列出,切不可忘记Important才是论述的核心,千万不能无意中转而强调这门课Difficult或Interesting。
附:本题参考答案
In my previous studies at college, there are quite a few importance courses and one of the most important one of them, if I had to choose one, would be Calculus. Well, as I am an engineering major, in my curriculum there are many courses requiring complicated calculation, equation deduction and math model building. All these need knowledge in calculus as a foundation. Besides, mastery of some quantitative analysis methods will greatly benefit my ability to make a sensible judgment in a complex situation in workplace, no matter what job I“ll take up in the future. Finally, without a good sense of advanced mathematics, I will not be able to appreciate the beauty of symmetry in many artistic forms

托福口语考试的重要解题步骤
Task1题型分析
(1)这道题属于个人陈述题,choose a place/person/matter you like and explain why you like it.它要求你在陈述中加入对具体事例的描述。
(2)具体做题步骤:首先你必须确定你将要陈述的 specific topic,然后你要扩展2-3个sub points,当然要有相应的supporting details。此外,注意你整个陈述的时态把握,例如,你讲述的是关于一位过世的亲人,那么你的时态主要确定为过去式和过去完成时。最后要Pay attention to the time,尽量避免超时的现象。
(3)下面我们用一个具体的事例来说明。
事例1Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.
以下就是我一个客户对这道题的回答,大家可以参考一下,首先他首句就交待了主题the classroom is the most important place for him.然后扩展了两个sub points,一个是 study, 另一个是discuss problems with classmates.
Sample answer: As a student, the place I go to often which is very important for me is the classroom. Firstly, I can listen to the teacher face to face, and then I can acquire the knowledge according to the teacher’ instruction. I can also study by myself as nobody bothers me here. Secondly, I can discuss the problems with my classmates. We can exchange our opinions. Through the discussion, we can improve each other.
事例2 Describe a person you admire.
以下是我的客户对这道题的回答,首先他对自己陈述内容的整体架构把握地很好,分两个sub points来支撑它的主题,而且每个sub point都又有相应的supporting details来辅助。
Sample answer: I admire my father very much. Firstly, I think he is a wise man. When I am in difficult situation, he would give me a lot of useful advices. Secondly, his life is very successful. He makes a lot of efforts to make our lives better. He also has a lot of advantages which I should to study to learn from.
事例分析
(1) W: When I am in difficult situation, he would give me a lot of useful advices.
R: When I fall in difficulties/ get into trouble, he would give/ offer me a lot of useful advices.
第一句话的表达方式属于中国式英语的错误表达方式.改正后的表达更标准一些。
(2)在陈述中多次使用a lot of 。其实表示许多的词汇有很多很多. For example, many, much, a great deal of, plenty of, a great many, a large number of, a great deal of, a slew of, a myriad of还有建议大家在平常的学习中多多积累同义词,这对提高你的语言多样性表达方面很有帮助!
(3) W: He also has a lot of advantages which I should to study to learn from.
R: He also has plenty of strong points which I should learn from.
首先表示优点的词汇:strong point, strong suit, merit and so on.而advantage有有利条件,优势,利益,益处的意思,但是用它来表达优点不合适。此外,advantage有很多实用的固定短语:have the advantage of somebody比某人强,或者占上风;take advantage of somebody/ something充分利用某物/某人;to somebody’s advantage对某人有利。多积累这些实用短语,会对你的口语表达起到很大的作用!此外,study和 learn都有学习的意思,放在一起这样就造成了重复。也许在平常写作中不会犯这种低级错误,但是到真正考场上这并不意外!
托福考试口语笔记经验
一、分类
和新托福的写作分为independent writing和integrated writing一样,其实它的口语部分也可以分为independent task和integrated task。因为task1和task2基本属于personal reference,而task3-task6都不同程度上结合了listening, reading, speaking这三个方面,所以把这四道题归为integrated task.
因为新托福口语允许做笔记,所以能否在自己的笔记中最大限度且全面地记录listening中的关键信息,就直接地关系到托友们的得分,因此托友们都十分头疼这个环节,我将在这里和大家分享一些相关的经验。
二、误区
阅读部分:
(1) 盲目地记录一些文章细节,而忽略了对文章整体架构和主要信息的把握。
(2) 缺乏对文章内容进行归纳总结的能力,把握不住文章的重点。
(3) 不能通过阅读短文从而找出接下来要陈述时所能扩展的点或者说是可以说的点。
听力部分:
(1) 在这部分中,大家好走两个极端路线,一是对主体解释的理论部分作了过多的陈述,二是对文章举例部分描述太多,没有把这两个部分的比例合理安排好。
(2) 速记的能力有待提高,而且本身考试的时间也很有限。
(3) 考前没有做充足的准备,没有有计划地进行相关针对性练习,所以导致对题型不了解或者是做题速度上不去。
(4) 有的托友本身的听力、语法、词汇的基础就比较弱,缺乏听力的技巧,譬如对signal words所透露的关键信息的把握。
三、相关建议:
(1) Independent task
我在这里建议大家在做笔记时从以下三个方面进行记录:topic主旨、sub-points or supporting details分论点、signal words or transitions信号词。
下面通过一个具体的例题来说明。
Question: Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.
Topic: library
Sub-point: read, study, rest, appointment
Signal words: firstly, secondly, moreover, the last but not the least
Sample answer:
A library is the most important place for me. I usually go to library twice a week. Firstly, I can read a lot of books for free in the library. Secondly, I can study there because it is a quiet place. Moreover, library is also a good place for me to have a rest, because no one bothers you there. The last but not the least, the library provides a wonderful environment for lovers to make an appointment. My parents had such experience!
(2)Integrated task
我建议大家在做这部分笔记时无论是阅读部分还是听力部分,都从主题topic、事例example、信号词transitions这三面来把握。
下面我们同样通过一个例题来说明。
Bus Service Elimination Planned
The University has decided to discontinue its free bus service for students. The reason given for this decision is that few students ride the buses and the buses are expensive to operate. Currently, the buses run from the center of campus past university buildings and through some of the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. The money saved by eliminating the bus service will be used to expand the overcrowded student parking lots.
The man expresses his opinion of the university’s plan to eliminate the bus service. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
以上为综合例题的阅读部分,听力由于很长这里就不列举出来了。在阅读时首先大家要把我们上面说的这三个部分标示出来,如上面所示。至于听力部分我这里只想强调一点,大家一定要提高对信号词的敏感度,通过信号词的指引来掌握材料的关键信息。只有平常多做练习,才能从根本上提高你分辨提取重要信息的能力。
Sample answer:
Obviously the man disagrees with the idea that the school will eliminate the bus service, because he thinks the fee of the car parking is so expensive and it is unreasonable to change the road and eliminate the bus. Also he points that if the school expands the student parking, more and more students will drive to school which will cause a lot of noise and maybe more traffic accidents. As a result, the school should encourage the students to take bus instead of driving to school, which is also bad for the environment of the school.
(3) 除了要提高对信号词的敏感度,在平常学习时也要有目的地多积累储备一些信号词,因为这些词的正确使用不仅可以使你的口语表达更有条理、更加连贯,而且运用在写作中也可以起到同样的作用,何乐而不为呢?
(4) 多多学习并且记忆一些不错的谚语,然后添加到你的主观题部分,它们会起到画龙点睛的作用!

托福口语人物类命题的解题方法
Mr. Wang is so nice / kind
He is a very good friend.
很多学生会用像是nice ,good这样非常简单的,不是很具象的词语,这些词语说起来比较空泛,太过普通,几乎不可能废人眼前一亮的感觉,所以我们说的时候可能用些更加“高级”的词语,同样是好的表达,除了good以外,我们可以尝试像是fantastic,excellent, amazing等就比一个简单的good好的许多。
准备人物类话题的时候既要掌握人物类话题的共性,又要同时准备一些不同类型的名人所具有的特点。同时我们其实发现描述自己熟悉的人更难描述,因为太过熟悉,反而却没有话可以说。比如说就好像让我们写一篇作文“我的妈妈”,我相信很多人都不知道应该写点什么,这就要求我们在平时的是需要积累一些关于这一类话题的可以使用的内容。
描写周围的人,通常是这样
首先我们可以描述的第一方面是,这个人是一个什么样的人?
另一方面我们可以描述一下,她/他给我带来了什么样的影响?
托福口语人物类话题如何解?在答题的时候我们可以先说第一方面,说明这个人的特质,然后第二方面可以说明一下这个人在具体的一个情况下和你之间发生的某种作用关系,比如说这个人给你的帮助或者鼓励,比如有这样几个素材可以使用:
1 .There was one time, I failed in a very important exam, I felt so frustrated and my mother was the person who told me that life is not always as smooth as we expect.
2. He is an expert in this field with 10 years, so when I was in need of knowledge in this field, I will go for help to him.
He is really a good neighbor, as I am very busy with my work so sometime I need go to other cities for business, when I am away from home, he will help me water my flowers.
关于名人,我们可以采用这样的模式,首先我们可以描述成就(he is a world famous X.X, ),或者是他/她在某个方面的卓越的贡献。然后描述影响的顺序来进行描述也就是第一部分,我们可以描述一下这个名人有哪些成就然后可以说明一下她/他有哪些方面的成就,或者事件第二可以有哪些带给你的影响,比如说:
X.X has devoted the whole life to his career.
His endeavor is more than you could possibly imagine. And a famous saying goes, “practice makes perfect” and X.X just fully proved it. I really want to do be a person like him/her.
关于名人的描述一般都侧重名人的的成就和努力的一方面,同时还在可以再最后表达一下对于他们的崇敬之情和希望在他们身下学到什么东西。对于名人这样的话题,我们平时可以准备一到两个自己喜欢的名人,在应对人物类话题的时候可以作为我们的答题素材,灵活的取用。
托福口语中故意出错的策略是否可用
“故意出错”反而能拿个好成绩,但是要慎重,避免出错。下面是托福口语考试“故意出错”技巧,希望能帮到大家托福口语备考!
托福口语考试中,几乎每位同学都怕出错,所以提前会准备各种话题的托福口语模板进行练习,信心满满的参加托福口语考试。熟不知,托福口语讲的太顺也许也是分数不高的一个原因,“故意出错”反而能拿个好成绩,下面为大家介绍一下托福口语考试中“故意出错”的技巧,同学们可以作为参考。
托福口语task1和task2这两道题的答案有一个常见的现象,是考生口语很不好,过多的倚重模板和经验,在考试的时候照搬照抄。由于托福口语task1和task2很多题目网上有披露,大同小异,或者做题前已经偷听到别人的内容,已经有了准备,所以这种情况非常突出。其实,托福口语task1和task2往往是让很多人跌破眼镜的地方。口语的要求是必须:表达清楚、准确、流利、自然。托福口语task1和task2特别要求例证丰富,而且回答时必须是在“讲”,不是在“背”和“读”。
所以,假如你托福口语task1和task2讲的太顺,只有三个可能:
a. 你是大牛,你中国人比美国人还美国人
b. 你在朗读。你可能休息时将答案基本写在draft paper 上了
c. 你在背诵。你曾经准备好了答案。
假如评分人认为你的口语不是即兴的,他就会刻意挑毛病,那考生的分数可想而知。那我们如何在既应用模板又让考官相信我们是在“说”呢?
这个就涉及到了我们提到的故意犯错了。托福口语task1和task2必须充分准备,这个当然包括模板。然后最后表演时必须不留痕迹,中间偶尔的“en..” “ha..”可以存在,我们平时在上课时,班上的同学或老师都会有正常的“hesitance". 连电视台主持人也会有偶然失误,何况中国人,但是切记这种情况不要太多,而且是在你自己知道的情况下有所控制的进行。有时故意弄一个小错误也可以,但是要立即纠正。
这就是为什么要大家在托福口语task1和task2中故意出错的原因。这只是大家在应用托福口语模板的时候的一个小技巧,目的在于让口语显得自然。我们在平时在练习的过程中最好从考官的角度出发,总结托福口语技巧让自己的口语显得更加自然才好。
托福口语如何具有“实效性”
目前大多数考生对“口语好”的定义似乎都是“说得相对流利,发音比较准确,语速不是太慢”。这当然无可厚非。然而,刚才提到的准则只是“口语好”的“外包装”,而最后对口语分数起决定作用的还包括说话的“实效性”,即思维逻辑、语言组织和词句质量。下面,小编分享给大家托福口语语言如何具有“实效性”。
语言表达的“外包装”
关于语言表达“外包装”的问题,考生们已经给予了足够的重视,很多人都专门地练习或系统地学习过发音。但需要注意的一点是,TOEFL iBT的口语考试是电脑录音,评判者是通过听录音来做分数评估的,所以, “说得快”未必是件好事,“说得清楚”才是重点。考虑到评卷者可能会产生的“听觉疲劳”,表达时的“断句”以及重点词汇在重音和语调上的突出,就成了有效传达信息的关键。所以考生们表述时不要一味求快,而要注意断句、重音和语调。我们以下面的句子为例来具体说明:
The Great Wall was the greatest man-made military defense structure in ancient China.
这是一个在口语表述中颇显功力和水平的句子,但若一口气把它说完,句子的美感就体现不出来了,而且在录音的情况下还可能会让评卷者无法听清楚,于是我们需要借助断句和重音来表达。下面笔者便用“/”作为断句的标志,用“〉”表明重音,来重新处理上面的句子:
The Great Wall/was the greatest/man-made military defense structure/in ancient China.
大家可以试着按照标志重读这个句子。其中重音处可以着重诵读;断句处则可以稍作停顿,或者是拉长词的读音,比如我们在读wall的时候拉长读音,在 greatest 和structure后则稍作停顿,这样整个句子听起来就更加容易理解,因为我们把句子的几个意群划分开了:The Great Wall//was the greatest//man-mademilitary defense structure//in ancient China. 所以,为了使表达效果更好,使语言听起来更加悦耳,我们不但要注意发音,还要注意说话时的重音和断句。
语言表达的“实效性”
每个考官在悦耳的声音背后更想吸纳入耳的是有组织、有意义的词句。因而,对语言表达更进一步的要求也接踵而至,即说话的“实效性”,包括思维逻辑、语言组织和词句质量。下面笔者就以口语考试的具体题目来进行简要说明。
口语考试的第一题和第二题是独立口语任务,大家需要做的是就自己的经历或想法来回答问题。题目主要涉及日常生活和一些社会现象,准备时间15秒,答题时间45秒。这一类型的考试形式和面试比较相似。从时间上看, 15秒的准备时间形同虚设,因为这么短的时间根本无法让考生酝酿出好的答案来。要想在面试中表现得好,必须事先有所准备,同样道理,要想在这两个题目上获得高分,预先的素材准备也是必不可少的。正所谓:有备无患,胸有成竹。信心百倍,微笑说话。
我们先来比较一下关于如下题目的两种回答:
What is your favorite place for reading?
Answer 1:
I think my favorite place for reading is the library. Firstly because in the library, manystudents are reading and you will read with them. Secondly because in the library, you can getmany books easily, so you can get to the information quickly. Um...so I like to read in thelibrary.
Answer 2:
Unlike many people, my favorite place for reading is the park. I just like the atmosphere.Reading is tiring, and when I feel tired, I can look up from my book and see people jogging onthe paths and boating on the lake. Then I feel relaxed. Also, when your eyes feel tired, thereare many green trees and grass to look at to give them a good rest. In the park, you can seemany old people taking their beloved pet birds and dogs for a walk. This gives me inspiration.Indeed, I like to read in parks rather than in libraries or classrooms.
大家一比较就会觉得,前者了无生趣,机械死板,内容单薄;而后者新颖独特,语言丰富,内容翔实。不过在15秒的时间内准备出第二种答案对大多数考生来说是不现实的,但若提前有所准备的话,情况就会大为不同。也就是说,对第一题和第二题的信心来自提前的准备。但考生又会有疑问:题目范围如此之广,涉题领域如此之大,怎么下手去准备呢?题目有无数,押题自然不是上策;而准备“资料库”,学会“借题发挥”——即根据已有的简单事实或论点进行“由此及彼”的合理扩展——则不一样,定会事半功倍,效果非凡。因而第一题和第二题的成败关键就在于“资料库”的搭建和 “借题发挥”技巧的培养。
第三题和第五题比较类似,是综合任务题,都是先听对话,然后回答相关问题。只是在第三题中,考生在听对话前会先读到一篇与校园生活相关的短文。做这一类型的题目时,听懂对话是成功的一半,而如何不失重点、合理有效地组织答案则是成功的另一半。对于听力好的考生而言,学习组织答案的技巧是获得高分的关键。试想如果回答问题时连声赘述而缺乏重点,或是词不达意又缺少亮点,岂不白白浪费了好的听力?而对于听力欠佳的考生而言,则需掌握一些重要的得分技巧来弥补听力的不足,如合理控制对话的节奏、关注重要的信息,以及表达时尽量注意语言结构上的完整性和逻辑上的紧密性,而这也正是备考时信心的来源所在。
篇14:细数托福口语中的5种代词用法错误
Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.(05. 11.19 考题)
Sample answer:
The book that I think is the most useful is OG, Official Guide for new TOEFL. I'm a book lover and have lots and lots of collections. But OG is of the greatest use ‘cause I'm taking TOEFL Test, which is a must for a student who is gonna finish his or her overseas study in America. Not only does it give the brief introduction of the test, but it also provides test candidates with practical tips. On the other hand, some basics of English language are offered following the main parts, which is very helpful for those who don't have a good command of English. Most of all, it helps me get well prepared for TOEFL iBT and improve my performance on the four skills as well. This definitely leads to the academic success in my future study. That's why I think OG is the most useful book for me.
Sample answer:
I prefer magazines to fictions or poems, especially monthly magazines ‘cause they are like colorful flowers in a garden.They are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.
My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn't just stick to the same writers and trends. The presentation, theme, and subjects should vary to grab the interest of readers. And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas. I read five or six magazines per month and I buy two magazines regularly---fashion and beauty magazines, ‘cause they are worth reading for their entertainment news and fashion and beauty tips. Sometimes the personality profiles(个人档案/简介) of successful business icons(这里指“人物”) are also fun to read.
篇15:细数托福口语中的5种代词用法错误
Sample answer:
Some people might think computer is one of the most important inventions in the last century. But I'd say television. Since the invention of TV, human history has started a new page. First, TV allows people to learn about what's going on in the world. With such information, they are able to get a better understanding of the world they live in. What's more, TV provides a lot of interesting programs that many people enjoy after a long day's work. Its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and more relaxed. Most important of all, Television has a great influence on the way people think and talk.
Sample answer:
If I could freely choose any job, I would choose a job where I could do something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. Definitely it would be something helping people.
Teaching of course is sort of that kind of job---- if you do it properly you can certainly help people. Traditionally in China teachers have been very respected; we have a saying a teacher for a day is a father for life.
Nowadays, attitudes are changing, and perhaps people are more realistic. But my dream isn't changing. I wouldn't be helping them materially but I could give them a lot of pleasure and lighten their days.
I love teaching and I want it to be my whole life's career ‘cause I feel I really am contributing something to people's lives, to help them.

托福写作练习如何巧妙使用连词并做到内在论证统一?
一.托福写作中如何巧妙使用连词
任何形式的英语文章中都应该具备一定量的连接词(路标词),因为它们是有助于读者顺利阅读的“导航坐标”;大多数考生在备考时也的确会准备一系列此类连接词,用于文章每个段落的段首;包括有表示“第一,第二,第三”等的连接词。但是单纯有段首连接词还不足以支撑全文的结构,因此考生应该同时准备段中连接词,包括“比如说,因为,但是,相对比而言”等,粗略估计,全文完成下来可以达到15个以上的路标词,不仅承接了全文,结构清晰明了,而且也为时间紧张下的写作减轻了不少字数压力。以下为常用连接词:
第一:in the first place/ first and foremost/ to start with/ to begin with/ first of all/ first/ firstly
第二:in the second place/ secondly and equal importantly/ to continue/ second/ secondly
第三:in the third place/ last but not least/ third/ thirdly
一方面、另一方面:on one hand/ on the other hand; for one thing/ for another
表原因:because/ because of/ since/ due to/ as/ thanks to/ for/ owing to
表结果:so/ therefore/ as a result/ consequently/ as a consequence
表举例:for example/ for instance/ such as/ take…as an example/ to illustrate
表承接:besides/ furthermore/ moreover/ what’s more/ in addition/ additionally
表转折:but/ while/ however/ nevertheless/ nonetheless
表比较对比: to compare with/ compared with/ in comparison with/ by contrast/ on the contrary
当然,仅仅依靠连接词是不足以表明全文的连贯性的,适当的添加过渡句也是很好的承接手段,如Official Guide To The New TOEFL P263中有一篇关于DISHONESTY KILLS RELIABILITY 的5分范文中就有出现多处明显的段落过渡句,如第三段首“After stating that everyone’s opinion can be different about this, for me honesty, in other words, always telling…”用来承接上下两段,以引出自己的观点看法;第五段首“Although I would like to see altruistic, understanding, thoughtful and loyal behavior from people, an instance of the opposite…”等都明显具备良好的过渡功能,让全文更加流畅舒服,朗朗上口。
二.托福写作练习如何做到文章内所有论证统一
Official Guide To The New TOEFL这一官方指南中也明确在写作部分提到“但要知道,仅仅使用第一,第二这样的连接词并不能保证作文结构的严谨,还要注意让所有的观点与文章的主题相关,紧扣中心思想。换句话说,作文要有统一性,评分原则中提到的统一性,渐进性和连贯性这些都是评估作文结构是否严谨,读者能否比较容易地跟上作者思路的标准。”通过上段叙述,我们不难发现作文论证统一性的重要性。
而事实上这也正是被许多考生所忽略的问题。在拿到试题后,考生们不是先腾出时间构思结构框架,而是急着抓住哪怕是一分钟的时间动笔写作,其实如此的选择是要不得的,朗阁海外考试研究中心强烈建议各位考生在考试时不要舍不得这准备的时间,正所谓“磨刀不误砍柴功”;因为只有当你事先构思好而不是边想边写,你才能真正做到论证内容的一致性,观点与论据的统一性,也才能真正取得高分。另外,用最直白的作答应对题目的提问,用单边的手段安排整篇文章成5段的总分总思路是十分适用的。

3种常用托福写作句型 让你的托福独立写作拿高分
第一种托福写作实用句型:大家熟知但是却不爱用的there be句型
说熟知是绝大部分同学或多或少写过,说不爱用,就得提提老给我们使绊的“Chinglish思维方式了”。There be的句型在写作中极容易犯错,比如:明天将会有很多重大新闻。
有的同学想都不想的造句:Tomorrow will have many significant news. 这样的句型就属于是较严重的语法错误了,tomorrow能发出have这个动作吗?肯定是不能的,所以主语并不是tomorrow。这里很明显没有可以发出“有”这个动作的主语,所以正确答案应该是:There will be many significant news tomorrow. Tomorrow 是典型的时间状语,所以以后在there be的写作中要注意可能出现的状语和主语的混淆错误。
第二种托福写作实用句型:动名词做主语
动词一般不可以在句首做主语,但是如果把动词加上ing,它就会变成“动名词”,那么这个主语就是“名正言顺”的了。语法书中定义:“动名词,即是兼有名词和动词特征的非限定性动词,可以做主语、定语、表语和宾语等。”
所以上面的二个句子这样翻译最合适:
1. 读书是一门艺术:Reading is an art.
2. 贩卖毒品是犯法的:Selling drugs is illegal.
大家可以发现,动名词做主语的句子所包含的意思真的不是针对哪一个或哪一类人,暗指的对象应该是整个大众,所以,使用动名词开头的句型不仅像是在说理,而且还更加客观、科学,是书面语的标志。
第三种托福写作实用句型:代词做主语
第三种句型还是适用在找不到主语的情况下, 但是情况要显得更加复杂一些。
例:“现在对于很多老师来说处理学生的在校不恰当行为并不是那么容易。”
句子看上去似乎很复杂,学生可能需要想很久、慢慢理清楚词与词之间的关系。其实,这时候有种很简单的方法就可以轻松地解决问题。如果在翻译一个脑海中出现的中文句子,注意到句子里有形容词的话基本上至少可以用这个句型来处理:“It is + 形容词+ for somebody to do sth.”
