2.托福口語第二題的解答
托福task 2雖然仍然屬于生活類話題，但話題的覆蓋面還是相當(dāng)廣的。常見的有：媒體類、教育類、環(huán)境類、抽象類、工作類、休閑娛樂類、生活類、地點類等。所以，我們在復(fù)習(xí)時首先要了解這些話題之下的常用詞和和句型。這些都是口語表述的基礎(chǔ)，沒有詞句，就是有在好的想法也無法用英語有效的表達(dá)清楚。比如在談?wù)摻逃惪碱}時，常用的動詞和動詞詞組有：evaluate, standardize, judge, benefit, work efficiently, design, compare, eliminate等，而常用的名詞及詞組有：performance, standardized tests, criteria, goal, score, admission, basis, evaluation, standardized scale, educational system, supervisor等。在表述的過程中，為重要的就是動詞和名詞，這些都是句子構(gòu)成的重要元素。
應(yīng)對這樣的考題有很多種方式和結(jié)構(gòu)，在這里，推薦給大家一種較為簡單的結(jié)構(gòu)。首先先給出一個讓步，即先就自己不同意的意見進(jìn)行論述，并闡明這種觀點的可取之處。
3.托福綜合口語聽力攻略
In TOEFL Oral English task 3, 4, 5 and 6 candidates are required to listen to conversations, lectures etc .Hence, listening is a skill that should be learned before they take the test and it is something that needs to be practiced a lot. Excellent listening ability is a skill that can be acquired with extensive practice and diligence. Below are some essential methods that candidates can do before start doing TOEFL exercises.
1、要學(xué)會精聽
Intensive listening involves listening to more detailed analysis of the language used, listening for specific information and finding the answers to specific questions. For example, after listening to a lecture about a person’s favorite place, students should acquire the answer to this question “Where is the speaker’s favourite place?” Students should listen for the particular response of this question. On the other hand, the students should also hear if the speaker generally has a positive or negative opinion of his/her favorite place? This would practice a skill that is listening for gist, getting a general feel for the text.
Intensive listening is also used to do detailed study of a language point; an example is “What adjectives does the speaker use to describe his/her favorite place?” Students should listen to how the speaker describe his favorite place . And also, listen and follow the trancript in order to identify a certain grammar or vocabulary point is a further example of intensive listening.
2、要練聽寫
Note taking is a practice of recording information that can be captured from an oral discussion at a meeting, or a lecture. One common format that should be learned for note taking is shorthand or abbreviation which can allow large amounts of information to be put on paper without using a huge amount of time such as “etc.” for etcetera, “no.” for numbers. This method will allow students to write more information without writing the whole word thus can help them save some time. Using symbols such as for more than, greater than, or for less than are also very useful in writing notes. Information from the notes are necessary for students to reflect the ideas and information about the things they had heard.
4.托福口語考試常見問題
1. 為什么新托�？荚嚢谡Z部分?
The focus of the TOEFL iBT is on communicative competence and tests your ability to use English to communicate effectively in an academic setting. Speaking is a key communication skill, along with listening, reading, and writing, and has an important place in the TOEFL iBT assessment.
2. 為什么新托�？谡Z中的一些部分的答案是建立在閱讀和聽力文章基礎(chǔ)上的?
Speaking tasks that combine reading and/or listening passages with speaking are called integrated tasks. They are included in the TOEFL iBT in recognition of the fact that to succeed academically in English-speaking colleges and universities, students need to be able to combine all their English-language skills—in reading, listening, and speaking, as well as writing—inside and outside the classroom.
3. 在新托福口語部分中我要做多少閱讀和聽力工作?
The reading and listening passages that are associated with the integrated tasks vary in length but are all quite brief. Reading passages range from approximately 75 to 100 words, and the listening passages are generally between 60 and 90 seconds long. In addition to being short, the listening and reading passages are not intended to be difficult. They are designed to provide you with clear and accessible informa tion to use in answering the speaking questions.
5.托�？谡Z考試實用技巧
托�？谡Z在答題時寧過勿缺，但如果后差幾秒又實在想不出，則可說：That’saboutit (連讀) 3’ OR That’s everything I can say about this topic. 5’
有時可用and將兩個同義詞連接，這樣既可強(qiáng)調(diào)要表達(dá)的意思，又可延長一倍的時間。
新托�？谡Z要多用習(xí)語，口語詞，gonna，wanna，thatal = that will，有的詞讀的短而快，有些則長而慢，注意語音語調(diào)的變換。
一開始不要說出數(shù)字，而說a few points，這樣可以防止說不完。
多用被動和升調(diào)。
因為第1，2題要求說45’所以用一些opening會使這兩道題比較穩(wěn)妥。
在有閱讀的題目中快速默讀，但有不熟的單詞要朗讀。
3，4題中如果多說閱讀中的內(nèi)容會被減分，不要有什么in the reading passage之類的話。
不要噴麥，不要用一些不確定的詞如something，someone，(主要是1，2題，并注意specific)，有一些小的語法錯誤沒有關(guān)系，發(fā)音不好沒有關(guān)系。
閱讀和聽力可能出現(xiàn)2選1的加試。閱讀題是可以來回改的，而聽力只可以改后一個，所以做閱讀時應(yīng)根據(jù)篇數(shù)來判斷聽力的篇數(shù)，并合理安排時間。
閱讀和聽力要早答，因為如果慢了則會受到別人口語的干擾。而中間休息的時間則應(yīng)盡可能的延長，因為如果快了則會在寫作時受到別人口語部分的影響。故TOEFL iBT總體應(yīng)該遵循先快后慢的原則。
