1 口语极差怎么准备托福
(1)托福要求的词汇量有8000多,首先要迅速拿下托福词汇。因为托福词汇基本都属于常用词汇加学科词汇,所以非常好记,如果顺利的话一个半月的时间就非常非常富裕了,可以从匹克模考tpo里面记忆词汇。
(2)托福考试中听力部分是重中之重,虽然中国考生普遍阅读、听力部分分数比较理想,但是由于听力部分贯穿始终,所以还是要从背单词的第一天开始就要同时加强听力训练。当拿下托福词汇之后,可以相对把工作重心集中在口语和写作部分,因为这两部分是很难找技巧的,不存在蒙这一招,要切记!的复习材料就是匹克tpo了,听说读写都有练习。
(3)如果决定去补习班了,那就好好听听那边的课程,很实用的应考方法。
(4)整个托福准备过程2-4个月之内就非常非常富裕。
2 托福口语如何避开低分误区
●第一大误区是先Beat around the bush,再渐渐切入正题,最后才做出较为精准的总结。
在托福口语考试中,很多考生的给出的观点不是很直观,有时甚至是说到一半时才知道观点是什么。托福口语的答题时间很短,在短时间要清楚的表达题目的观点是一件非常困难的,所以篇幅一般不会太长,按照西方人的逻辑思维,一般在开头部分就会明确主旨,那么如果你说一半时才说出观点,那么你的托福口语答案肯定不是很完美,所以得不到很高的分数。
●第二大误区是毫无计划地想到哪,说到哪,甚至中途改变主意,否定前面所说内容,做出一个自相矛盾的答案。
很多考生因为怕答题时间来不及,还没仔细想好要说的答案框架,上来就开始说答案,想到哪说哪,说来说去,最后忘了自己前面说的内容了,致使后面稀里糊涂的草草结尾。托福口语考试一般都会一个准备时间,在这个准备时间里考生可以在草稿纸上面列出你要说的大概框架或者是关键词,说的时候就可以根据此框架来说,这样也就方便了许多。这样口语考试时条理不清,理由相似,逻辑关系不鲜明的问题就轻松的解决了。分数自然不会太低。
细说口语六道题的准备
T1和T2题属于独立口语题,这两个必须认真审题,以防出现跑题的问题。回答的时候一定要控制内容长度。建议大家控制到110词以内,可以尝试就用一到两个分论点来阐述,以免说不完。举一个理由,并把它的细节说清、例子讲得贴切完整也是可以获得高分的。减少独立口语中的分论点,一方面能够让你在考试的紧张中放慢语速,另一方面还能够让你的条理清晰,答题完整。
可参考结构
Topic sentence: 简单概括问题并提出1-2个论点
First argument:提出第一个论点+ 2-3句话解释
Second argument:提出第二个论点+ 2-3句话解释
Conclusion: 用另一种方式复述问题和论点 。
独立口语的内容需要自己想,综合口语主要是考复述转述能力,听到什么就用自己的话说出来。综合口语的听力比听力部分简单,只要听力部分准备好了,综合口语应该没问题。并且由于托福考试时间挺长,考到综合口语这部分的时候我们已经颇为疲惫了,这会儿在题目间歇可以稍微放松一下大脑。在题目出现的时候也可以有相应的取舍,以便我们专注于听力内容。
Task3审题,我们需要读的是:
发表看法的是男是女——以防说错;
针对的是建议信(student's letter)还是校方新规(university's plan)
Task4 注意看使用lecture中的例子解释什么——解释的对象是什么。最后这一部分【解释对象】虽然需要读,但很多时候就是Reading的标题,所以我们原本就很熟悉,看也不会占用太多的时间。
Task5 整个题目其实都不用读,全都是一个意思:概述学生遇到的问题,说说都有哪2种解决的方案,你推荐哪一个以及为什么。
Task6基本上每次都是让我们用听力中的例子来解释2种XXX,所以只要看清XXX是什么即可。
