1 托福口语考试独立口语话题

托福独立口语考察考生对各类话题的观点看法的口头表达能力。下面是小编为您整理的关于托福口语考试独立口语话题思路解析，希望对你有所帮助。

托福独立口语思路一：

因为我们的思想水平和托福口语表达水平存在很大差距，语音语调先放一边不论，你的托福口语表达水平如果只有美国人小学生水平，但是你的思想却是高中以上水平，想用一个小学生的语言表达出一个高中生或大学生的观点，显然是比较impossible

托福独立口语思路二：

因为我们太习惯用中文思维，这就造成了我们答题时反应时间过长，因为我们需要先用中文把思路理出来，再进行中文到英文的翻译，而且是在用一个小学生的口语来翻译成年人的思想。Furthermore这样翻译出来的英语往往都非常具有中国特色，错误连篇，拿高分基本没戏。这样，我们在答第一二题这种自主发挥题时遇到的就不止是一重阻碍了。

怎样轻松自如使用托福独立口语第一二题万能模板：

都说我们没有语言环境，但是大家一定要学会给自己制造语言环境。看美剧、听英文广播、看英文小说、看英语新闻，这都是一个输入过程，仅仅只是在打懂英语的基础。如果是一个整体的的语言环境，怎么能只有听和读呢?输入和输出是一套配套动作，听、读和想、说要变成一系列连贯动作，这里介绍下本搜狐号的另外一篇10天攻克托福听力。所以我们在平常学习生活中，要保持一种双语的思维模式。比如：你在跟朋友hang out时，你朋友跟你抱怨说尾号限行的措施不好，不方便人们生活和出行，爸妈不能开车的时候，一家人都要去挤公交挤地铁。但是你认为尾号限行号好，因为现在本来空气污染都已经这么严重了，再不限行，肯定会更糟。而且北京的交通问题这么严峻，再不限制已有车辆，早晚高峰的时候路上根本走不动。

这么一个小交谈，如果你在脑中运行着双语思维的模式，遇到不会的就去查，理清用英文思维时遇到的障碍，比如说尾号限行叫 traffic restriction based on the last digit of license plate numbers, 这会帮助你解决一系列的托福口语一二题。看几道近几年的真题，这是2014年1月25日北美考过的一道题What can we do to reduce air pollution? Give examples and details in you answer.尾号限行政策可以无障碍使用吧?再看2012年7月22日大陆的一道题：Describe a change in your country. It could be a social, economical or political change. Explain how this change influenced people in your country. 尾号限行政策也可以使用吧?所有跟环保还有国家政策措施、改变相关的题都可以派上用场吧!一次小小的双语思维作用之处可是很大的。

托福独立口语思路避免空洞的单词和词组

1. 一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息，完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子：

When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.

这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为：

Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.

2. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换，例如：

Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.

“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，简化为下面的表达方式：

Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.

建议二托福独立口语思路避免重复

1. 尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复，但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子：:

The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.

large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改为：

The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.

3托福独立口语人物类话题

人物类话题是托福独立口语部分常出现的话题之一，在这里为各位TOEFLer整理了托福独立口语人物类话题素材和一些万能话题素材，希望对各位的托福口语备考能有所裨益。

1.Being Humorous

素材：

It occurs to me that Mr. Bean is the person who always makes me laugh. Mr. Bean rarely speaks, but his exaggerated/odd facial expressions usually make me burst into laughter. He usually misbehaves himself, for example, he once drops his coffee on a man’s laptop and then lets someone else take the blame. Besides, his ignorance of what’s going on around him also appears to be funny to me. For instance, in one scene, while Mr. Bean is driving, he falls asleep at the wheel.

I keep several Mr. Bean series in my computer, and when I feel upset or low, or want to have a study break, I usually open the files and watch a few episodes. His zany behaviors never fail to make me laugh.

(备注：素材中选取的人物是Mr. Beans，大家在练习的时候，针对不同的题目，可以把人物换成不同的对象，比如my father，my friend等等)
