新托福口语考试的前两题属于独立口语题,考察的不仅是学生的语言能力,还有发散思维的能力。要求考生在15秒钟的准备时间之后,用45秒来回答问题。这些问题都是 身边、 生活、 简单的话题,考生只要用 简单的语言答问题之所问即可。
小贴士1: 尽可能使自己的答题完整些,在未完成自己要表达的一个要点前,不要急着转到下一个要点。
小贴士2: 在独立口语题中要获得的一个很大的关键是充分并有逻辑性的表达自己的观点。但这并不意味着你需要给出非常多的要点,按照一般中国考生的英文语速,两个要点足以在规定时间内达到很好的效果。
小贴士3: 答题时不一定要遵循真实想法,可以适当给出合理的“白色谎言”,一切答题均以方便自己作答为主。
小贴士4: 许多考生喜欢在答题的句话给出类似"I have three (or whatever) reasons to support my idea"这样的topic sentence, 但却又往往出现规定时间内无法完成自己的要点作答。因此,建议考生可在topic sentence时以"I have a couple of reasons to say."这样抽象的概念取代。
可以尝试使用以下模板进行练习:
Task 1: "Personally, I would have to say that, um, my favorite ... is .... And there are a couple of reasons to name. The most important thing is that, you know,.... What’s more,.... So that’s why...."
Task 2: "Well, in my opinion, I would definitely agree with the point that, um,.... The first reason that I wanna say is that.... More importantly,.... So, uh, that’s why I choose ... for the two reasons listed above."
小贴士1: 尽可能详细的记下所有讲话人的主要观点,可以通过缩写或者符号来提高自己的note-taking速度。如“+”“-”来表达说话人同意或不同意的态度。平时安排口语备考练习时,不妨加上note-taking的练习,由简入难,一旦掌握好note-taking的能力,对新托福考试其他科目的成绩提升也有很大的帮助。
小贴士2: 遇到自己不熟悉的话题,不要慌张,因为答题中并不影响。实在不明白的专有名词,可以尝试记下它们的发音,在作答时重复相仿的发音即可。
小贴士3: 尝试精简自己的答案,由于考试时间的限制,你不会有足够的时间将每一个细节完整地复述出来。归纳能力也是托福口语考试主要考察的方面之一。
小贴士4: 讲话人在说话中用到的信号词将是帮助你记笔记及理解听力的一个很好的要素。考生们要提前熟悉好常见的信号词,并在练习中刻意留意信号词。常见的信号词有"what’s more", "moreover"等。
可以尝试使用以下模板进行练习:
Task 3: "The school has implemented a new policy that... due to .... And the man/woman holds a positive/negative view towards the announcement. The first reason s/he gives is that.... And the second one is based on the fact that...."
Task 4: "In the lecture, the professor mainly talked about the theory that.... To reinforce the theory, the professor gave two reasons in his speech. The first one is that.... The other one is that.... And that’s the two reasons the speaker presented to explain his idea.
Task 5: "In this conversation, the man/woman is having a hard time dealing with the problem that.... And the woman/man offers him/ her two possible solutions. One is .... The other is .... And if it were my choice, I would choose the former/latter one, because ...."
Task 6: "In the lecture, the professor provides two examples to illustrate the phenomenon/theory that.... The first one is that.... Another example Is that.... And that’s the two examples the speaker presented to explain the theory/phenomenon. (Still, the conclusion is optional)".
以上是的朗阁新托福老师给大家总结的一些托福口语考试的备考技巧,并不能完完全全取代考前的复习准备。想要在口语方面取得好的成绩,备考是非常重要的一步。上述技巧只有通过平时不断地练习巩固,考前打好口语基础,考试时才能发挥顺利。
