托福口语实用课外资料补充
托福口语资料如何利用?
一. 托福口语资料有哪些
我们在上文中提到，托福口语资料分为两类，基础提升类的资料和适应考试的备考资料。第二类的资料比较好找，直接用托福官方真题Official口语题就可以了。但是基础提升类的资料却要因人而异，大家在备考托福的时候英语水平有差异，所以基础备考资料的选择也不能完全一致。如果基础较差的话，可以先找一些简单对话类的听力素材，做跟读模仿练习，如果基础不错，可以直接使用一些与官方真题Official听力Lecture部分难度相差不多的听力材料做跟读和复述练习。所以，口语素材的选择把握住一个原则，最适合自己的才是最好用的。
二. 口语资料利用方法
1. 基础提升类资料
基础提升类的口语资料，利用起来要分为几个步骤。首先，找到适合自己的练习素材;第二步，在听的时候做跟读练习;第三步，查生词，确保弄懂全文每一句话，每一二个单词;最后，做全文复述或者转述练习(质量高的材料建议背诵下来)。在练习的时候要注意积累一些地道的口语表达，为接下来的“完全输出”做准备。
2. 考前口语资料利用
考前价值最优的口语资料主要有三个：真题、素材和模板。考前要适应考试的节奏，学着把握考试的时间，所以此时最适合利用口语真题备考。利用真题备考可以帮助大家了解口语考试内容和考察方式，检测自己能否在准备时间内组织好答案，能否在规定时间内答完题目，也能更具答案录音检查自己答题时口语是否流利，答题内容是否充实。
接下来，我们来说说口语素材。考前准备口语素材主要是针对独立口语版块，独立口语考题需要大家陈述观点并举例论证，所以大家要针对各类高频话题准备一些答题素材，口语考试中才不会无话可说。
最后来说说口语答题模板，模板的主要作用在于能帮我们高效利用准备答案的时间段，因为模板可以让我们形成答题的套路，所以只需要思考答题内容即可，省去组织答案的时间。建议大家自己准备答题模板，不要抄网上的万能模板。
托福口语模板：从事冒险活动是勇敢还是愚蠢
Some people think that risk-taking actions such as rock-climbing and skydiving requires a lot of bravery, while others think this is not brave, but simply foolish. Which view do you agree with and explain why.
有些人认为冒险活动，比如攀岩和跳伞需要很大的勇气，而另外的人认为这不是勇敢，而是单纯的蠢。你同意哪个看法，并请解释原因。
相似题目：
A lot of experienced and inexperienced climb mountains every year, which one of the following adjectives would you use to describe this experience? Adventurous, frightening or foolish?
很多有经验、没经验的人现在每年都爬山，你会用下面哪个词去形容这事?爱冒险的，令人恐惧的，愚蠢的?
这里分享北京新东方李家其老师为大家带来一个口语范文答案：
Well, I’d definitely call these people brave. My understanding of the word “bravery” is that one is ready to face and endure danger. And these people are doing just that. They are out there jumping off a cliff, or jumping down from a plane, all of which ①takes a lot of nerve.Compared to them, my life as an ordinary office worker would ②have nothing to do with the word “bravery”. Everyday I’d get up, ③commute to my company, and ④punch the clock. Even if I had the chance to go skydiving, I’d probably say no. So I’d⑤give them a thumbs up.
And as for the word “foolish”, I think we ⑥are not in the right position to call them that, because even if they are ⑦risking lives doing extreme sports, it’s their choices after all.
我肯定会把这些人称为是“勇敢”的。我对“勇敢”这个词的理解是，你准备好了去面对和忍受危险，而这些人恰好就是在这么做。他们从悬崖上跳下来，或者从飞机上往下跳，这都需要很大的勇气。而和他们相比，我作为一个普通办公室员工的生活，就和“勇敢”没什么关系了。每天无非起床，通勤去公司，打卡上班。即使我有机会去跳伞，或许也会拒绝的。所以我要给他们点赞。
至于“愚蠢”这个词，我觉得我们没资格这么说他们，因为就算他们为了做极限运动冒了生命危险，那毕竟也是他们自己的选择。
托福口语模板：去哪里购物
托福口语题目：Many people choose to go to specific shops to buy specific products, such as only buying bread in bakery, only purchasing vegetables in vegetable market; while some people prefer to have one-stop shopping, buying all the things in one big supermarket. Which one is your habit and why? Give specific explanation in your response. 许多人喜欢到专门的店购买商品，如去面包房买面包，去菜市场买菜;而另一些人喜欢一站式购物，在大型超市购买所有的东西。你的习惯是哪个，为什么?用具体的事例说明。
郝新宇老师的Sample response:
Personally, I definitely prefer the one-stop shopping in one big supermarket, the main reason is time-saving and convenient. In a big supermarket, usually within halfan hour or forty minutes, I may buy everything I need for several days, such as pizza, bread, fruit and so on, very convenient! However, if buying specific items in specific shops, maybe in the east second ring road I buy my desired bread, in the east third ring road I buy fruits, in the western part of the city I buy fish, seafood and so on, the whole purchasing process might occupy my whole afternoon, which is really inconvenient.
一.原著资料推荐
《史蒂夫?乔布斯传》
是史蒂夫?乔布斯(美国发明家、企业家、美国苹果公司联合创办人，已于10月5日病逝)唯一授权的官方传记，在20上半年由美国出版商西蒙舒斯特对外发布出版消息以来，备受全球媒体和业界瞩目，大家心目中伟大的乔布斯本人曾经表示《史蒂夫?乔布斯传》也涉及到他曾经犯过的错误、失败的经历以及私生活，有些事情是他自认为并不得意的，但没有什么是不可以公诸于众的。同样，他的的朋友、敌人，还有同事本书中也为我们提供了一个前所未有的毫无掩饰的视角，所以此书的精彩度可想而知。
《小王子》
大家应该都熟悉了，书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者，讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的过程中，所经历的各种历险。本书是法国作者创作、被翻译成250多种文字，全球最畅销图书之一，英译版的词汇句式也比较简单易读，很推荐给同学们作为阅读英语原版书的入门书。
二. 电影推荐
《死亡诗社》
“老师”这个词，在三观扭曲，五味陈杂的当下有时被逐渐扭曲，或许这篇五星电影重新唤起大家的求知欲，抛出哲学的思考，或许它会成为写作的一个例子，或许它会成为你面试的一个段子，刚好给你的面试官留下深刻的印象。
《怦然心动》
隽永的美式青梅竹马爱情故事-了解美国青少年生活-极其适合跟读练习。里面的口音语调都非常好听，男生可以跟着男主角练习语音语调，女生可以跟着女主角练习，美丽的爱情故事，加上唯美的画面，学习英语也可以非常享受。
最新托福口语题目：学生应该参加志愿服务吗
Task2 – Some universities encourage their students to get involved in voluntary jobs in the community like cleaning the public park and tutoring? Do you agree or disagree?
Should students be required to do volunteer work?
托福口语模板及托福口语真题参考答案范文:
12月5日托福口语真题Task 2
I think students should be required to do volunteer for the following reasons. Firstly, it’s important for students to learn to give back to the community at an early age. I first started volunteering when I was only 8 years old, I remember it was right before Christmas and my parents signed us up for volunteering in the soup kitchen in my neighborhood. I was the youngest volunteer there that day and I used a big ladle to serve hot soup to the homeless. That was kind of a milestone in my life because that was when I understood the importance of sharing what we have with the less fortunate and I also realized how good it feels when we know we are capable of helping others. Today volunteer work has become a big part of who I am and I think all students should learn the meaning of volunteering from an early stage of life. Plus, it’s a good chance for students to sharpen their communication skills. In volunteer work, more often than not, you will have to work with others in a group, that’s a good opportunity for students to learn to be great listeners while getting their own voices heard at the same time.
托福口语范文：建议设置电子布告栏
题目回忆：
学生建议设置电子布告栏，因为很多学生经过，而且校园会更整洁。听力女生不同意，因为不是每个人都会经过那里，比如关于一个show如果只有图书馆张贴信息她就会错过。另外电子布告太慢了，大家还是喜欢看张贴的信息。
托福口语模板及托福口语真题参考答案范文:
12月20日托福口语真题Task 3
The student proposes that the university should have an electric bulletin board due to two reasons. The first reason is that students pass by the bulletin board every day. And the second reason is that the university will look much tidier and much cleaner. In the conversation, the woman disagrees with the proposal. Her first reason is that not everyone passes by the bulletin board every day. She once saw a poster about a show on campus, but if the information was only posted in the library, she wouldn’t have been able to know about it. As for the second reason, she mentions that many students will think it’s too slow to read information posted on the electric bulletin board, posters are much more convenient.
GIVE UP
Give up的意思是认输、停止努力。
比如某宅男看到女神躺在高富帅的怀里，就留下一句“祝你幸福”转身走开，这就叫give her up。
ABANDON
Abandon的意思是彻底放弃，不再关心，特指停止对某人的照顾、支持。比如：
His mother had abandoned him at an early age.
他在幼年就被母亲遗弃。
还可以指离开、废弃某地或某物，比如：
He decided not to abandon his Chicago residence.
他决定不搬离在芝加哥的住宅。
DESERT
形容逃兵等可耻的放弃行为时，会用到一个比abandon更具有贬义的单词：desert。它指不忠诚、不负责任地抛弃。例如：
He deserted his wife and daughter.
他抛弃妻女。
此外，desert还有“在对方需要的时候辜负某人”的意思。这种用法中，desert的主语是某种能力，不用人做主语。比如：
His luck deserted him.
运气没有眷顾他。
最后，desert在做名词时是沙漠的意思，它在做动词时可以表示离开某地让它荒凉。比如：
The tourists have deserted the beaches.
游客们离开了沙滩。
FORSAKE
Forsake是指对亲密关系中断、弃绝。例如：
He forsook his wife for a career.
他为了职业生涯抛弃了妻子。
也可以指放弃某种价值观或兴趣，如：
I will not forsake my ideals.
我不会放弃我的理想。
总结
Give up指放弃努力、投降;abandon强调不再关心或支持;desert的指责意味更强;forsake用于对亲密关系的放弃。
1. blow someone off: 不搭理、拒绝、让某人一直等着
“ She's going to blow off John because she's not interested in him. =不搭理

2. check out someone：打量
Why don't we go and check out those cute girls?
3. come on to ：吸引某人、跟某人调情=flirt
She felt bold and confident enough to come on to him at the party.
4. fix someone up to ：安排约会
I thought you didn't like her and had fixed her up with your friend Paul.
5. hit it off：相处很融洽
I took her to dinner and we totally hit it off.
6. let someone down easy： 不伤害别人
“ No bloody way = Letting them down hard

1、尽量按照总分的结构进行叙述，单刀直入，这也是西方人习惯的表达方式。由一句主题句引出观点与中心，让考官能够清晰地得知叙述的主题，从而打下良 好的基础。如果在考题中出现了问题，则应该开门见山地回答问题，切入主题，阐明自己的观点，从而为接下来的详细叙述理清层次以及节约时间，如果有多余的时间，则可以再增添一句总结的话语，使叙述详尽完整。
2、在叙述的过程中应该合理地利用逻辑词汇，这样使文章的逻辑顺畅，条理清晰。中国人说话习惯靠上下文去分析句与句的关系，但是西方人不同，他们习惯 用逻辑连接词来表达句子关系，如果按照中国人的思维去说英语，在外国人看来就是一堆杂乱无章的句子罗列，这样的分数常常会十分的不好看。
论点的叙述，则应该尽量在草稿上简单罗列，讲述时由浅至深，增强逻辑性与条理性。所以，在练习口语的过程中，最好请一位外教跟踪辅导，为学生纠正口音以及语言习惯等问题。
3、在描述时，应该尽量将抽象的话语具体化，不能很空泛地喊口号做呼吁，这样常常收效甚微。西方人习惯十分具体生动的描述，如描述环境很优美，不应该 仅仅说“it's beautiful outside”，而可以去描述flower，tree，bird等细节，增强生动性。
4、面对十分概括的问题时，许多考生会觉得十分难以开口，只能让时间白白流失，痛失了分数。针对这类问题，就应该将问题缩小到一个具体的事物进行叙述和讨论，缩小问题寻找突破口，这种方法也是所有宽泛问题的应对方式。
以上是对托福口语练习中，观点阐述部分学习方法的介绍，希望大家看了之后，能够更好的进行托福口语学习，从而在考试中取得好成绩。
托福口语背景知识补充 这些常见词汇背后的故事你知道吗?
托福口语10个常用俗语词汇典故介绍
1. nerd和jock是美国学生常用的两个俗语。nerd的意思和汉语中的“书呆子”类似。这类人聪明勤奋，但却过于保守严肃，在校园里颇让人瞧不起。 jock则恰恰相反。他们魁梧帅气，很受女孩子们的欢迎，尤其擅长American football和basketball等各种体育运动。当然，校园中也不乏漂亮的girl jocks。
2. egghead这个词在1952年的美国总统大选中被首次使用。当时的竞选双方分别是二战盟军总司令艾森豪威尔和书生气十足的伊利诺伊州州长史蒂文森。史蒂文森精心准备的竞选演讲文字华丽晦涩，只有和他一样的知识分子才会感兴趣。因此对手取笑他说：Sure, all the eggheads love Stevenson. But how many eggheads do you think there are。 egghead的意思，就是指书生气很足的知识分子。
3. hick和city slicker这两个词的意思在各种语言中一定都能找到对应的词，它们分别是城里人和乡下人对对方的贬称。hick的意思是“乡巴佬，土包子，”而 slick字面意思是“圆滑的，油滑的”，因而city slicker也就是乡下人眼中的“城里老油子，打扮光鲜，老于世故却不可信的城里滑头”。
4.turkey(火鸡)，shrimp(虾)和crab(螃蟹)这三种动物在美国人眼中会是什么人呢?turkey是美国人在 Thanksgiving Day和Christmas Day家家都要吃的食物。但是，活的火鸡样子难看，行动又笨拙，所以turkey就用来形容那种愚蠢无用的人。而那种雇用了这些turkey，又不能开除他们的政府或商业机构就被称作turkey farm。shrimp常被用于指代那些个子矮小的人或无足轻重的小人物。请看下面的句子：You may call Napoleon a little shrimp. But for a shrimp, he certainly made the rest of Europe tremble。而crab因为长相丑陋凶恶，常被用来指那些性格暴躁、脾气很坏的人。
5. baby boomer, yuppie(雅皮士)， dink(丁克)，sandwich generation这四个词反映了美国经济和社会变化。二战结束后的二十年内，美国人口激增，那个时期出生的人在美国被称作baby boomers，因为boom有激增、暴涨之意。yuppie(雅皮士)(young urban professionals)是指生活在大城市、受过高等教育、生活富裕的成功职业人士。dinks (double income, no kids)是指那些有很好的工作和收入，但是不要孩子的夫妇。sandwich generation则恰恰相反，他们是既要赡养老人，又要抚养下一代，像三明治一样被夹在中间的经济负担较重的一群人。
6. couch potato和mall rat是两个和美国人生活习惯有关的俗语。couch potato指一有时间就坐在沙发上看电视的人，一声不吭，一动不动，就像一个圆滚滚的土豆。而mall rat当然不会是购物中心的真老鼠，而是指没事儿老喜欢到mall(大商场)里去逛的人。
7. backseat driver, wheeler-dealer, free-wheeler, fifth wheel是四个和汽车有关的常用习语。backseat driver坐在汽车后排，却不停地对前面开车的人指手画脚，因此是指那些自己不在岗位上，但是却喜欢给在位的人提供人家不需要的意见的人。 wheeler-dealer精明能干，是那种善于运用权利和财势在政治或商业活动中为所欲为，独断独行的人。free-wheeler喜欢自由，不受约束，是指那些不愿意遵守自己工作单位的规章制度，想怎么做就怎么做的人。而fifth wheel的意思则很好猜出。一辆汽车只有四只轮子，那么，fifth wheel当然是多余的、不受欢迎的人了。
8. green thumb和all thumbs也是两个很有意思的俗语。green thumb指善于养花种草的人，这些人总是能把花园收拾得绿色怡人，养出来的花草光亮健康，羡煞那些费了很多劲儿，种出来的花草蔬菜却总是半死不活的人。所以，green thumb就是那些很会养花种草的人。如果说一个人是all thumbs会是什么样呢?想想看，拇指虽好，可要是十个指头都长成短短粗粗的拇指，干起活来肯定很难受。因此all thumbs便是形容一个人笨手笨脚。
9.penny-pincher和cheapskate都是指花钱很小心、吝啬的人。penny是一美分，pinch意为“捏”，顾名思义，penny-pincher就是那些连一分钱都要在手里捏得紧紧的、舍不得花出去的人。cheapskate则是万事以省钱为本，越省越好，请客最多带你去MacDonald。这种人往往不受欢迎，尤其令他们的女朋友反感。从这个意义上说，cheapskate比penny-pincher更贬损。
10. spring chicken和lame duck是指春天孵出的小鸡和瘸腿的鸭子吗?当然不是，读一读下面这两句话，猜猜它们的意思吧。(1)The woman said,over forty, so I’m not a spring chicken any more。(2)The governor of our state ended up as a lame duck when he lost the election. He still has six weeks left in office but there’s nothing to do except to pack up his papers。实际上，spring chicken意为“年轻人，缺乏经验的人”，lame duck是指“竞选连任失败、即将卸任的官员”，也用来指“不中用的人”。任何美国官员——从市长、州长、参议员到总统——都有可能因无能而被称为 lame duck。
以上就是托福口语词汇中的10个比较常用的俗语词汇的典故背景介绍。托福口语考察的是大家的表达能力，所以各位同学在练习的时候，需要主动积累和运用一些美国俗语及俚语，这样才能让自己的托福口语说得更地道更有美国味。最后小编预祝大家顺利通过考试拿到理想成绩。

托福口语怎样训练表述能力
托福独立口语
根据熟悉的话题进行论述，如描述一个熟悉的地方或谈论一段个人经历;
用简单明了的语言说明一种观点或偏好，并用逻辑的语言对原因进行阐述;
提出一项建议并用合理的解释规劝别人接受这个建议;
罗列出ETS常出现的热门话题，并针对这些话题做出一分钟的回答。用考试的真实境况，选择一道题，准备1分钟后，用自己的语言表达观点和阐述原由，从而达到提高口头表达能力的目的。
托福综合口语
平时的教科书就是不错的教材，对每个章节在结尾处提出的问题给予口头回答;
选读一篇长短适中的文章，提炼出纲领性的要点，在提炼要点的基础上锻炼用口头表述来进行总结;
针对一些相同话题的阅读和听力材料进行有效练习。并针对这些材料做笔记和做以下准备：学会口头提炼和总结这些阅读和听力材料;在此基础上口头表述重要的信息，并解释其中相互之间的关联;针对阅读和听力材料中的观点进行阐述;对其中提出的某个问题，阐述一种解决问题的方案，并给出相对应的理由。
新托福的口语考试采用人机对话的方式，考生无法和真正的考官交流，所以考生的成绩不会受到一些人为主观印象的影响。但对考生来说，完全要靠语言能力去应付，没有肢体语言的辅助，就需要练就一套真功夫。
I have no idea what you have said.
不知道你在说什么(I don't have the slightest idea......)”
我不知道"不要总说I don't know,太土了,可以说I have no idea或者I don't have a clue......
