1.新托福口語考場要注重的細節
雖說新托福口語主要考查交際、交流能力,但語音、語調和重音都會影響到成績。建議平時多練習對墻、對鏡子說話,力圖達到自然流暢的程度。提供大家一個好辦法:錄下自己練習時的聲音,捫心自問,別人是否能明白你所說的?
新托福口語考試臨場重要的是抓住重點,這個原則體現在多個方面。閱讀短文時,注意話題和概括內容,不要試圖記住一切細節。
聽錄音對話和課堂講座時,把握中心思想,特別注意說話人經常重復的關鍵詞和概念。記筆記時,只記錄重要觀點、例證和原因。此外,還要合理分配時間,仔細審題,參考筆記,考慮如何表達。注意:要有兩到三個論據支持你所表達的觀點。
新托福口語考試時對著話筒答題要發音清晰,措辭要小心,特別是內容要求的重要詞匯;語速要正常,不快不慢,表達結構簡單明了,使用過渡詞,使用熟悉的詞匯。
2.托福口語考試時間
托福口語第一、二題上的準備時間非常短,但是利用好了也能出很好的效果。大家拿到口語題目后,應當立刻構思出回答的要點,然后抓住15秒鐘的時間提前練習。另外,在Speaker緩慢讀題的那幾秒我們可以直接忽略,利用好這幾秒著手準備。準備時就立刻組織好自己開頭的語言。這樣等到真正的45秒鐘開始時,我們相當于多了“重新說”的機會,有更大的可能性把開頭表達得更完善,這個對于后來的敘述是有關鍵影響的。
我們說:Well begin is half done. 試想大家如果開頭的話就亂了陣腳,肯定很泄氣。關于準備托福口語模板的問題:托福口語的第一、二題考前練習時盡量覆蓋全面的話題,尤其是第一題。之后的題目如果準備好了基本的答題模式,也會讓我們在說的時候沉著許多。關鍵的時間分配在第一二題上。這兩道題本身難度比較小,所以非凡需要注重的就是時間的分配問題,在這45秒鐘里,一般用5~6秒完成topic sentence,接下來每一個detail或者example不超過3~4句話的規律完成該話題,也就是說大致20秒完成一個detail或example的表述。建議在準備模板時就按照這樣固定的時間進行掐表練習。然后加上平時積累的examples和details,這兩道題目就比較容易對付了。
在記完筆記之后,三、四題會有30s的準備時間。筆記上已經有了閱讀和聽力的要點信息,而聽力放音結束后的30秒鐘準備時間則剛好用來整理筆記。主要是標清筆記中要點的主次以及先后關系,將記下的幾個關鍵詞擴充成為完整的短語甚至句子。有時間的話還可以記下話題相關的同義詞,多做一些同義詞替換,因為題目要求為paraphrase。然后就要把背得爛熟的托福口語模板套入這些詞語,在心中快速過一遍。由于不能夠把握準確,再看時間刪減或是增添內容。
3.托福口語備考方法
1、和自己說英語
這確實是一個聰明的辦法,因為和自己說的時候,先幻想自己是一個英語流利的人,然后blalala和自己說英語,既不緊張還會建立自信。
當然你要確保自己說的是對的,比如把自己之前背的文章啊,加上語氣說出來,注意我說的是說出來,而不是背出來。但是這也不是一個長久之計,畢竟以后出國還是要和別人去對話的。
2、用不同的單詞去說一件事
在我們說英語中有兩大障礙:詞匯量的匱乏、停頓猶豫。而這些也經常發生在,比如我腦海中用中午想起一個idea,但是詞匯量真是有限啊!說不出來,無法表達。這樣看起來是很致命的,但是如果你換其他的單詞去說這件事或者這個單詞呢?
3、在日常生活中,盡可能多的使用英語
中國有句古話說:“熟能生巧”。所以每天的練習10分鐘比一天學個十幾個小時然后一周就要有效的多!請你每天假裝自己在國外,每天學習英語不能斷。
4、平衡英語的各個方面
聽、 說、 讀、 寫、 語法、 詞匯這幾個部分有很多同學只顧其一不顧其二,想學好一門語言知識背背單詞那是不行的,用運用到實際生活中,能聽懂、會說會讀會寫。缺一不可。
5、練習說英語
不能只學習我們要把語言用起來,這也是我反復強調的問題。可是如果沒有條件找到和你每天說英語的人,我們可以找一些網站,你可以找到一些native speak和你說英語。
6、不能停留在讀、看、聽英語的階段
如果你只是喜歡看美劇啊或者外國綜藝節目等,你只是能理解皮毛,頂多是只能一些地道的短語、俚語或者一些連讀方式,那是這畢竟不是在系統的學習英語。可是如果你僅僅是聽英文歌,你還是不會寫文章。可是如果你在日常的工作學習中總是用到英語,這將是讓你很快提升英語的方式。前期不用擔心說的或者寫的是簡單的。
4.托福口語人物類的素材
1. Parents
My mother is the person whom I admire most due to her so many good personalities like talented, tolerant and most of all, her spirit of dedication. First of all, she is such a talented person who not only has great achievements in her work, but also can cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-educated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people. And the most beautiful thing about her is that she has a beautiful mind. Thrifty as she is in the daily life, she saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is. That is why I think my mother is the person I admire most.
2. Teacher
A good teacher should have the following personalities. First of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students and she knows which students need extra assistance.
Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional
concepts. What is more, she would show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them. For most students, a good teacher is also a helper who can lift them to new heights. Just like an old saying goes, " GIVE ME A FISH AND I EAT FOR A DAY, TEACH ME TO FISH AND I EAT FOR A LIFE TIME". This must be a philosophy of every good teacher.
3. Friends
A good friend should have the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and
positive. First of all, a trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especially when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble. Secondly, he/she must be someone who can give me some suggestions when I lose my heart. I clearly remember last time I had a bad experience on my job, I was so sad during those period of time and my friend Nana just sat besides me and was such a good listener to support me and inspired me by saying that I deserved a second chance and never pushing myself too hard would be a better choice. After the nice conversation, I happened to realize I overcame those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive. Though we always say “prepare for the worst and hope for the best”, we seldom do it when we face up with the worse situation. At this time, a positive friend has this power to make us believe that it is absolutely right to obey the rule.
In the end, I would like to quote a famous saying by Aristotle to end up my response. “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”
5.托福口語如何完整的陳述
托福口語落實到復習戰略上大家得具體情況具體分析,一般Task3- Task6的難度比較高,但是對于英語基礎一般的或者是初次接觸IBT口語試題的托友們來說,先集中進行屬于personal reference題型的Task1 和Task2的針對性練習才是上策。
例題:
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.
Answer:
The most important place to me is library. I like reading very much. In library I can read books I want, novels, science books, even history books. The knowledge I want is prepared to me.
解析:
(1) Original: In library I can read books I want, novels, science books, even history books.
Revised: In library I can read books I want, such as, novels, science books, even history books.
這樣會使句子過渡銜接地更加自然,此外,such as它非常口語化,在口語中使用正合適,但是在寫作中則不要使用為妙。
(2)深層次陳述問題方面的欠缺。
從上面的cripts中可以看得出他在全方位地支撐論點方面還有提升的空間。
其實他還可以從study, rest, date這幾個分支來闡述。具體可以這樣表述:Sometimes I can study there. Because it is a very quiet place; it is also a good place for me to take a rest. I can relax in the library. As nobody bothers me there; moreover, the library provides a wonderful environment for lovers to have a date.很明顯添加這些內容之后,整個陳述就顯得很完整了。
