青岛新航道专注于青岛托福培训,2014年托福考试时间已经公布,为了帮助考生们更好地学习、备考托福,新航道托福为大家整理了突破托福口语高分的必要准备,“用英语点亮人生”,希望对各位考生有所帮助。
听,说,读,写-----学习英语的四大核心,而“说”往往最让中国学生痛心。就其原因如下:首先,受传统中国英语教育模式即注重语法学习影响,本质即为重视应试能力而忽视学生英语的实践应用能力。其次,部分学生对托福口语考试的要求和难点没有进行充分的了解和准备,所谓知己知彼,百战不殆。要突破托福口语部分,必须先了解中国学生在面对托福口语部分考试时觉得最困难的地方在哪里。
,准备时间何其少-----基本没有准备时间
托福口语部分共六题,每道题的难度递增。以题为例准备时间只为15秒,答题时间为45秒。还没来得及思考考试就结束了或者句话还没来得及展开答题时间结束。如果首战以失败告终,势必会影响整场“战争”的走势。
第二,回答必须要具体详细
托福口语考试重要标准之一“details ,examples and specific reasons ”,使得很多学生花费多年心血积累的或考试前恶补的诸如“Generally speaking ,we should do something for our country ”等泛泛之语沦为“泛泛之辈”,如果测试者没有在考生的回答中听到具体细节,后果可想而知。
第三,词汇,句型要夏花般绚烂
不要一味的 “ This is ....., That is ......”要想取得高分,考生所使用的句型或词汇必须和自己的教育背景相匹配。言外之意,身在异国他乡时,也可以进行学术交流。
本文谈论突破口语高分的金钥匙,实则可以将金钥匙定义为“新钥匙”何为“新”即新托福考试较之前考试的不同之处-----笔记,笔记的出现可谓是一把双刃剑,如何记好笔记成为得分关键。当然是不同题型,对症下药。
1)Independent Tasks
该部分要求考生针对自己所熟悉的话题阐述观点。问题会以录音的形式读出,考生需要在草纸上迅速记下topic--supporting ideas ---transitions
如:Question:
Sometimes students have to write papers. Sometimes they have to give oral presentations. Which activity do you think is better for students, and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.
考生应迅速在纸上写下“pap”、“strong read write exams”、“more time think deeply”等信息。
Topic: pap (writing papers is better for students)
Supporting ideas: (Why writing papers is better)
* strong read write exams (need strong writing skills for reading and writing and prepare for exams)
* more time think deeply (show understanding for more time to explain and think deeply)
Transitions: firstly because, so also
在该部分3,4题会在要求考生在45秒内阅读完大约一段文字后隐去文本,然后播放一段音频大约1分左右,要求考生根据阅读和听力材料进行回答。而5,6题要求考生听一段材料然后回答相关问题。该部分笔记的关键则是之前材料中的 “main points ,examples ,reasons 等”而突破口则为信号词signal words .
如: Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) was an amazing author who wrote an astounding amount of material on an even more astounding variety of subjects. His literary studies included line-by-line analyses of all of the play of Shakespeare; his historical research included works on the history of Greece, the Roman Empire, England, and France; he also wrote well-researched tomes on physics, chemistry, and astronomy. What he is most likely best known for today, however, is science fiction: his Foundation series on a galactic empire inspired by Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and the / Robot series about a future society where humans and robots coexist. In total, Asimov wrote more than 500 books on this wide variety of subjects.
从信号词我们知道:
TOPIC OF READING PASSAGE: author Isaac Asimov
Main points about Asimov:
* wrote a huge amount of material (more than 500 books);
*wrote on a wide variety of topics (literary analysis, history, physics, chemistry, astronomy, science fiction)
当然,托福考试也需要我们平时的积累,这样在经过相应的训练后,考试技巧才会事半功倍,所以
词汇准备:建立流畅表达所需要的词汇,尤其是信号词。信号词的恰当使用会使你的表达更诚畅,更连贯。
发音准备:提高发音的同时,尤其要主要单词重音和语音语调。
笔记准备:平时多听、多看大学讲座、纪录片和英语新闻,边听边做笔记,尽量抓住材料的主题
