1 托福考场口语答题技巧
托福口语考试总共有六道题,他们有分为了独立口语和综合口语两部分,因此在备考的时候,也增加了同学们的复习任务。下面是小编为您整理的关于托福考场口语答题技巧,希望对你有所帮助。
通用题型技巧(适用于所有task)
使用natural pauses。很多考生在准备口语的过程中都希望能让自己的口语答案听起来更接近英语为母语的人所说的英语,自然的停顿词语可以帮助达到这个效果。常见的natural pauses有:"well", "urn", and "you know"等等。但注意适度使用这些词汇。
无需使用“大词”。中国学生往往单纯的认为使用“大词”(即大家认为高端的词汇)越多越好,如"exonerate"、"flamboyant"等词汇,其实不然。
及时纠正自己答题的错误。许多考生害怕答题时错误多会影响自己的成绩,就刻意在犯错后掩盖自己的错误。其实在发现自己的错误后立即纠正反而是一种好的解决方法,让考官明白刚刚的错误其实只是口误,如"... I really like standing in, I mean, ON themountain."
适用于所有口语考试的技巧就是练习了。如Dale Carnegie所言,"The FIRST way, the LAST way, the NEVER FAILING way to develop self-confidence in speaking is-TO SPEAK."
分题型技巧(适用于不同task)
独立口语题(Task 1 & Task 2)
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。这些问题都是最身边、最生活、最简单的话题,考生只要用最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高分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第一句话给出类似"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。

3 托福口语常用小词用法解析
托福口语备考中,大家也会背诵一些常用的词汇,但是在运用的时候,很多同学都会遇到各种各样的问题。今天我们就整理了一些相关的小词,进行详细的解析。希望大家能够更好地运用这些词汇。
Difference
意思是差别。对于difference只需要掌握一到两个短语,我们口语水平就会前进一大步,让你的同学对你刮目相看,那就是make a difference(有很大不同)或make no differences(没什么不同)。
1、这种化妆品你用用看,效果绝对不一样。
Chinglish: Please use this kind of cosmetics, the effect is absolutely different.
Revision: Please try this sort of cosmetics, i bet it'll make a big difference.
(不好意思,我就是喜欢try这个词)
2、上帝啊,再给我一次机会,我不会再这样了。
Chinglish:God, please give me a chance again, I won't do this again.
Revision: God, please grant me another chance, and I'll make a difference.
凡是一样不一样,都可以考虑这两个短语,你用好了,绝对可以make a difference。
另外说一下,受教科书的影响,说“不同”的时候中国学生习惯be different from这一句型。但是很多时候differ from这个动词形式更简单,try it, and you'll make a difference,让你的老师、同学对你刮目相看。
西方人崇尚个人奋斗,追求与他人不一样。这个词,对于他们来说,太神圣了。在google.com中,make a difference这一短语搜索结果近600万,所以以后有条件,我们就要make a difference,没有条件时,创建条件也要make a difference。
3、你说的什么移动、联通,我看还不一路货色。
You're talking about Telecom and Unicom. The way I see it, they make no differences at all.
4托福口语政治类话题解析
托福口语考试中,会出现各种各样的话题类型,其中也会出现政治类的话题。那么在平时的复习中,可能很多同学都容易忽视这类的话题,因此今天我们就重点来讲解一下这类的口语话题。

自己国家的一个社会活动或政治活动
National Holiday celebration is one of the greatest political celebrations in my country. In this celebration, thousands of people will gather in the heart of our country- our capital.

二
Which of following aspects do you think contributes most to a country's success: many business opportunities, a well-rounded medical care system or a developed educational system? (2/18/2017)
I think a developed educational system contributes most to the country’s success. Firstly, education provides people with opportunities to get a decent job, to escape poverty, to support their families, and to develop their communities. It concerns people’s wellbeing greatly. Besides, in today’s knowledge-driven economies, students need skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and digital literacy. Educated workers can use these skills to cope with rapidly changing workplaces more efficiently, so the country’s economy becomes more productive.
