練好口語是託福提分的重要一項,今天小編就來聊聊託福口語怎麼變流利,祝大家早日和託福君say goodbye!

讓你的託福口語流利起來

託福口語28分需要具備的流利能力

熟悉打分原則

託福口語官方給出的打分標準有三個,分別是:Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development。在這三個方面來說,Delivery應該是每個Task最爲看重的部分,也就是說大家的語言表現力---清晰度和流利度是最重要,也是拿到26分及以上的關鍵因素。

有些同學可能本身口語的基礎比較好,所以只要稍微學習一下答題的套路基本上就可以得到比較高的分數了。但是很多同學臨場的口語表達水平並不能做到在45s或者60s內非常流利和清晰地說完。

假設這個時候還有比較長的備考時間,建議可以創造一個說英語的環境,強迫自己每天都要說,可以和自己說話,也可以找一個好朋友一直用英語聊天之類的。假設只有比較短的備考時間,建議每天都要練習5-10道獨立口語的真題,積累語料,這樣會在流利度上有很大的提高。

準備語料

參考上面一段的最後,其實託福口語的獨立題基本上都是很生活化的,涉及的問題、領域無非也就是那麼幾個,所以其實很方便把同一種回答套用在很多的題目上,主要就是靈活運用的問題。在這裏給大家舉幾個例子,比如:今天遇到了一道題:

(2015.1.11)Which of the following activities do you consider most enjoyable for a Saturday afternoon?

1. Play sports game

2. Be with friends

3. Cook at home

我選擇了第一個sports game,我的理由是:

i. Mental health(relive pressure)

ical health(strengthen muscles, build up resistance).

在練習的時候有足夠的時間去優化這個答案,查詢一些相關的詞組或者思考一些具體簡潔的例子,那這個就可以作爲一個語料去使用。

但是遇到完全一樣的題目的概率沒有很大,需要的是大家的轉化能力,比如:

(2015.1.25)If you were asked to do community service, which of the following activities do you like to choose and why?

1. Help children with their homework.

2. Teach adults how you use computer.

3. Clean the community park.

我會選擇第三個,因爲park可以爲人們exercise提供場所,exercise是很重要的(插入語料),所以我很想把park打掃乾淨。

再比如:

(2017.11.11)Your local community center wants to add some new workshops or programs for children, which of the following do you think would be most beneficial for children’s development?

1. Art craft workshop

2. Athletic programs

3. Technology workshop

這道題我肯定選擇第三個,然後我的語料就可以隨便套用在上面了。

以上的例子是爲了告訴大家,獨立口語的選擇和要說的內容從來都不必遵循自己的內心,再經過一定練習之後,最重要的就是怎麼在考場上把曾經說過的語料靈活地使用起來,這樣就可以機智地把即興發揮變成脫稿演講啦。

 提升託福口語流利度方法

託福口語的提高離不開平時的練習,但是練習也是要講究方法的,不能盲目。出國留學網託福欄目爲您提供如何提升託福口語流利度,希望能幫到大家哦!

新託福口語考試模式,採取人機對話的考試模式,由於對託福口語考試模式的不熟悉,考生在考場上,常會結結巴巴。託福口語考試對考生流利度的要求還是相當高的。

練習是託福口語技巧中最重要的部分。消除了心理的說英語恐懼,也積累了一定的材料並總結出了自己的答題思路,這個時候就要通過實踐自我考察了。

其次是準備因素,就是沒有準備好要說什麼內容。口語的題目涉及生活各個方面,筆者經常笑稱這是對自己生活的一次大回顧、大反思。如果你沒有準備,沒有什麼話可以說,最容易犯的錯誤就是重複剛纔自己說的話,爲自己爭取時間想下面要說什麼,正好犯了流利的大忌。

一般來說,參加口試的考生擔心自己會緊張。其實第一階段是很輕鬆,考官會理解你緊張的心情 ,同時託福口試的問題是由易到難,循序漸進的,因此考生很容易進入狀態。很多學生考後的經驗都是第一階段一點都不緊張。最重要的是練習好心態的調整,在考試開始時的幾分鐘完全放鬆。這幾分鐘很關鍵,一旦出了錯就會亂了方寸,丟失信心。一旦出錯,心裏也不要老是耿耿於懷,想着剛纔的失利,因爲下面還有機會讓你補過。總而言之考試要求考生具備良好的心裏素質,發揮出正常水平。

託福口語考的是一種思維結構模式,往往表現在在敘述時儘量對考題內容先總後分,單刀直入,這也是西方人習慣的表達方式。由一句主題句引出觀點與中心,讓考官能夠清晰地得知敘述的主題,從而打下良好的基礎。如果在考題中出現了問題,則應該開門見山地回答問題,切入主題,闡明自己的觀點,從而爲接下來的詳細敘述理清層次以及節約時間,如果有多餘的時間,則可以再增添一句總結的話語,使敘述詳盡完整。

託福口語是一個很乏味的過程,除了反覆口語練習和多記單詞外沒有任何捷徑可走,只要考生有堅持到底的信念,每天做足練習,不要輕言放棄。只有堅持到最後,才能獲得成功。

 6大原則讓你的託福口語流利到底

1. 運用總分總的結構

Your listeners will understand your talk better if you organize what you say in a logical sequence or linear pattern. This means that you tell the listeners what you are going to talk about and then go through the points you want to make. The most common pattern of organization is outlined below:

Introductory statement

Point 1

Point 2

Point 3

Concluding statement

An example of this pattern is shown below:

Breeding butterflies has many advantages for the collector.

1. way of obtaining specimens

2. spares can be released into the wild

3. helps survival because butterflies have been protected from natural predators

The experience is a learning experience for the collector and a benefit to the species.

2. 運用連接詞

Connecting ideas by using transition words and phrases tells your listeners the relationship of one idea to the next. You can signal to your listener that you are going to put events in a sequence, add information, or make a comparison. You can signal that you want to emphasize or clarify a point. Using transition words and phrases helps your listener follow the flow of your ideas. Read the following example without transitional expressions:

In my physics class, we did lots of experiments that helped clarify scientific principles. I understood those principles better by doing those experiments.

These sentences would flow better if the speaker used transitional expressions as in the following example:

In my physics class, we did lots of experiments that helped clarify scientific principles. As a result, I understood those principles better.

3. 解釋或定義陌生概念

In order to help your listeners understand, you may need to define a term that you use in your response. Read the following example:

My hobby is telemark skiing.

If the speaker does not define the term and listeners do not know what telemark skiing is, they might not understand the rest of the passage. Sometimes listeners can guess the meaning through the context of the passage, but sometimes they cannot. Here is the definition this speaker gave of telemark skiing:

That means skiing using telemark skis.

Even though the speaker defined telemark skiing, listeners still may not understand what it means because the speaker defined the term with the same word. To effectively define a word, use a three-part definition:

1. State the word or phrase to be defined.

2. Give the category that the word or phrase fits into.

3. Tell how the word is different from other words that fit the same category.

Read this example of an effective definition:

Telemark is a type of alpine skiing in which the boots are connected to the skis only at

the toes, so traditional skiing techniques have to be modified.

4. 正確使用平行結構

Your listener can understand the flow of your ideas better if you use parallel structures when you speak. Read the following incorrect example:

My teacher gave interesting assignments and motivating the students.

The listener may be confused because the speaker has mixed different grammatical structures. Does the speaker mean My teacher gave interesting and motivating assignments to the students'? In this sentence, interesting and motivating are parallel adjectives. Or does the speaker mean My teacher gave interesting assignments and motivated the students? In this sentence, gave and motivated are parallel verbs.

5. 對關鍵詞進行替換或同義轉換

When a speaker keeps repeating a word or phrase, listeners can get confused. Read the following example:

My teacher wrote the assignment on the chalkboard. The assignment was on the chalkboard until the teacher erased the assignment after we had all done the assignment.

This speaker's ideas would be clearer if the repeated words were replaced with other expressions or with pronouns. Look at the way this example can be improved:

My teacher wrote the assignment on the chalkboard. She erased the board after we had all completed the task.

The word assignment has been replaced with task; the word teacher with she; and the word chalkboard with board.

6. 時態、人稱和數量的統一

Your listener can get confused if you are not consistent. Look at the following example:

My teacher brought five paper bags to school one day. He put us into groups and gave each group a bag. You have to take the objects out of the bags in turn and then a person has to tell a story involving the object from the bag.

The listener may get confused by the change from the past tense to the present tense, and the change from us to you and then to a person. The listener might also be confused by the change from the plural form objects and bags to the singular forms object and bag.

The listener could follow this speaker's ideas better if the speaker were consistent. Look at the way this example can be improved:

One day my teacher put us into five different groups. He gave each group a bag and told us to take turns pulling out an object and telling the other members of the group a story involving that object.
