Well, I think there are several ways to keep myself healthy.
In my opinion, 18-year-old people already have the ability to vote. Firstly, because I think when we are 18, we are adults, which means we can take responsibility for our behaviors and actions. (At the age of 18, we begin to make decisions independently, and thus our votes can represent our own opinions.) And also I think young people above 18 are very concerned about the future of the country and they have the ability to reason and also enough knowledge about politics, which will help them to make right decisions. For example, my friends and I are just 18 years old, and we often surf online to learn about the information related to national policies. And our politics teachers always tell us not to just repeat what others say but think by ourselves. So we are mature enough to vote.
托福口独立语模板分析
在此,说一下本题的几个常见错误发音:
adult 这个音是/??d?lt/ 或者 /?'d?lt/ (注意,a这个原音发音不同的时候,重音是不一样的)
mature 这个音是/m?'t???r/ 前面不是/ma/是/m?/。
一些细节解读分析
1. 18 years old≠18岁的人
I think +people who are already 18 years old are mature enough to vot
18岁的人,正确的说法如下:
A. 18-year-old people 【作定语,通常都是这样,加了连字符,就成了形容词。比如:在校的活动 on-campus activities】
B. people who are 18 【作表语】
C. people who are 18 years old 【作表语】
2. 我们能够对“我们的”行为负责 + behavior是不可数名词
we can take responsibility for the our behaviors and actions
3.concerned发音问题
I think young people above 18 are very concerned about the future of the country 这里的concerned,不要发成concered,中间那个n不要吞掉。这是考生经常会犯的错误。建议再练习一下environment和government,也要注意不要吞n。
4. 没有细节
1. 语言考试并不是完全不看内容。大家要知道,语音确实加分,不过,内容也不容忽视。
2. 增加细节和例子并不难,看下面示范

Well, I don't think I can agree with statement because I think +people who are already 18 years old are mature enough to vote
Firstly, because I think when we are 18, we are adults, which means we can take responsibility for the our behaviors and actions. (At the age of 18, we begin to make decisions independently, and thus our votes can represent our own opinions)
And also I think young people above 18 are very concerned about the future of the country and they have the ability to reason and also enough knowledge about politics, which will help them to make right decisions.
For example, my friends and I are just 18 years old, and we often surf online to learn about hte information related to national policies. And our politics teachers always tell me, “Please don't just repeat what others say but think by yourself, think critically.” So I am pretty sure that we are mature enough to vote. So I am pretty sure that we have the capability to decide what is good for the nation and the people and thus we definitely are old enough to vote.
So I think they have both the right and capability to decide what is good for the nations and what is good for the people. So that's why I think they are old enough and mature enough to vote.
A. details 是把你说的事情具体化,如: we can take responsibility for the our behaviors and actions.我们能对自己的行为负责,具体化后: At the age of 18, we begin to make decisions independently, and thus our votes can represent our own opinions.我们自己独立做决策,因此我们的选票能够代表自己的意见。
B. exemplification 是把你说的事情搞成一个具体的事件,如: young people above 18 are very concerned about the future of the country. 年轻人关心国家的未来。具体到一个例子:For example, my friends and I are just 18 years old, and we often surf online to learn about the information related to national policies. 我和我的朋友,我们就成天看新闻。
托福独立口语高频话题应对模板和高分范文分享:teachers should make their lectures fun
本期托福独立口语话题
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Teachers should make their lectures fun.
Well, I agree that teachers should make their lectures fun because as for students, an interesting class will easily attract their attention so that they can focus on the lectures better. I remember when I was in high school, my math teacher was really humorous. Even though I didn’t like math that much, I could always concentrate on what he was talking about and follow his pace, so my math performance became better and better.
Second, I think teachers will benefit from it too because they can gain some reputation. Just as Professor Lee in my university did, he was so humorous and so famous among students. Every time his lecture was on, students would come all the way to listen to it.
托福口独立语模板分析
上文中如下内容值得学习:
描述过去的事情时,始终记得用过去时。
经常使用情态动词。如果你怕自己忘记第三人称单数动词要加s,那最好的办法就是:多用情态动词
一些实用表达方式整理
1. 可数名词单数不可以单独使用
because as for student students, 这个是高频错误。因为student是可数名词,所以我们要么说a student(特指某位学生的话,就用the student)要么说students(泛指所有学生)但不能直接一个student放在那里。
2. 发音错误
an interesting(重音放错) class will easily attract(吞了c/k/,发成了attrats) their attention so that they can focus(发成了fersus,把c/k/发成了s的音) on the lectures better.
吞/k/这个问题是很多同学都经常犯的错误,建议大家再练习一下这几个单词:effect, correct, direct (k,t在一起都要注意发清楚,不可省略)
3.发音+平行结构
I could always(这里的a发得口型太小,好像/??/,其实应该是/?/) concentrate on what he was talking about and could always (平行结构,不需要再重复一遍)follow his pace, so my math performance was became better and better (因为要体现这个变化的过程,所以不能用was,这表示了一种状态,建议用become表示变化的过程).
4. every time
大家注意:并没有连在一起的everytime这样的写法,必须分开写。every time相当于副词性质,用作时间状语(每一次)修饰句子中的谓语动词。这里要跟everyday区分开,连在一起的everyday是一个形容词(每天的),修饰句子中的名词;如果分开写every day也是有的,那就是一个副词性质的词组,修饰句子中的谓语动词:
E.g. Reading English in the morning by using this app is an everyday occurrence. 使用这个App进行英语晨读是我每天都要做的事。(everyday修饰occurrence)
I read English in the morning by using this app every day. 我每天使用这个App进行英语晨读。(every day修饰read)

托福独立口语高频话题应对模板和高分范文分享:technology changes people's lives
本期托福独立口语话题
Choose one of the forms of the technology in the list and explain how it changes(has great impact on)people's lives in your country?
a. airplane
b. computer
c. television
I think computer has great impact on people’s lives in my country. First, it has greatly changed the way of searching information. In the past, people looked for information mainly by going to the library to find certain books, which often costs them such a long time to get what they want. But now, you just have to type some key words in search engines to get whatever you want immediately. It is much faster than before. Second, it is very convenient for people to keep in contact with each other, even when living in different countries. It breaks the limitation of distance. For example, my relatives are living in the US now, but we still can chat with each other through FaceTime to share our daily life.
托福口独立语模板分析
上文中如下内容值得学习:
1.【形容词最高级】I think computer has the great impact on people’s lives in my country. 如果后边是greatest那这是形容词最高级,就必须加the,但既然这里不是用最高级,那就不用加the了。
life这个词,如果当“人的生活”讲,则不可数,如:everyday life, daily life;但如果当“人的一生”讲,那就既可以可数,又可以不可数,如:in people’s life/ lives都是对哒!不过,在写作中请一定不要忘记life的复数形式是不规则变化,不是简单加s。
2.【动词时态】First, it has greatly changed the way of searching information. 原来的说法是忘记了单数,但是即使改成了changes,这个时态还是不够准确。其实是技术【已经】改变了我们搜寻信息的方式——从搜索引擎面世的那一刻开始——这是【过去发生的】事情,对【现在】有影响,用现在完成时会更加准确。
不过,像这种it做理由主旨句主语的写法,建议不要用到写作中。因为这样容易指代不清。建议大家明确写清楚主语。
3. 【平行结构】原来的说法 In the past, people looked for information mainly by going to the library, finding the certain books and then got what they want. 前面都是by doing sth.的方式状语在并列:by going, finding 那这个and后边也应该是doing sth.才对。但又不能直接说:by going, finding and getting因为并不是by getting what they want,实际上get what they want是最后的【结果】,而非过程中所采取的方式。因此改为:going to the library to find certain books, which often costs them such a long time to get what they want
4.【固定搭配】type some key words on in search engines to 这里请注意:type sth. in (= write information on a computer)意思就是“把……键入(计算机)”,介词是in不是on,可以这样记忆“把……键【入】”,所以是in。
5.【形容词比较级】It is much more faster than before. 这里请注意,经常见到有同学写出这样的句子,much + more + 形容词比较级。这里的much是副词,可以保留,用来修饰形容词比较级;而more是专门和多音节的形容词放在一起组成比较级,如more comfortable。这里已经faster,所以不用再加more。
6.【用词不当】Second, it is very convenient for people to +keep in contact with each (others) other, even +when living in different countries.
1)contact with sb.的意思是是“和某人接触”,但是无论是从computer的作用还是Eling后边的例子来看,这里想表达的都不是这个意思,而应该是“和某人保持联络”。那么,可以用stay/ keep in contact来表达。
2)each的意思是就是“每一个”,所以后边要接单数名词。这也是很多同学经常犯的错误之一。小编建议大家应该将each other这样的说法牢牢记住,形成条件反射,考场上就不会错了。
7.【表达推荐】It breaks the limitation of distance.也可以说It removes the limitation on distance.
8.【the的用法】For example, my relatives are living in +the US now, 因为US是United States的缩写,这种两个普通名词构成的专有名词前面一定要加the,就比如:联合国 = the UN (United Nations) 英国 = the UK(United Kingdom)
托福独立口语参考答案分享
I think computer has the great impact on people’s lives in my country.
【计算机对我国人们的生活产生了巨大的影响】
First, it has greatly changed the way of searching information. In the past, people looked for information mainly by going to the library to find certain books, +which often costs them such a long time to get what they want. But now, you just have to type some key words on in search engines to get whatever you want immediately. It is much more faster than before.
【它改变了我们搜索信息的方式,段内有例子、细节+古今对比】
Second, it is very convenient for people to +keep in contact with each others other, even +when living in different countries. It breaks the limitation of distance. For example, my relatives are living in +the US now, but we still can chat with each other through FaceTime to share our daily life.
【它让人们容易和彼此保持联络,即使身在异国他乡,有例子】
托福口语考试难度大如何应对?3个小妙招轻松搞定口语
一.托福口语考试难度解析
根据官方指南的表述,新增的口语测试分为两大部分,共有6道题目,包括独立回答题(Independent Speaking Task)和综合性回答题(Integrated Speaking Task)。
这些题主要是考查学生的阅读理解、听力理解和口语表达等综合能力。最难的部分莫过于第3、4题,其要求是考生先在45秒内阅读一段文字然后短文隐去,再听一段与阅读文字在内容上相关的听力材料,时间大约为1分半钟,最后要求考生根据先前所读、所听的内容回答相关问题,考生有30秒钟的准备时间,然后进行60秒钟的回答。通常一道是情景题,另一道是学术题。
专家表示,口语考试有0~4分五个档次,考生对话题的展开程度、口语的流利程度与发音的清晰程度以及回答内容与话题的切合程度是评分的重点。这些测评标准比是否有地道的英语口音更重要。“把听、说、读、写融合在一起”是托福网考的最大特色。有关专家认为,“托福网考”更侧重考生的实际交流能力,其目的是帮助考生到达北美校园后,能顺利地进行学习交流。包括在听力中增加美国俚语、“言外之意”对话、融合听读的综合写作等新要求,都是为了培养考生的综合交际能力。
在考生交流中,大家普遍反映,口试现场并不是那种理想的小隔间,往往身后同学的对话会较清晰地传到前方,还有一部分同学对试音流程不甚熟悉,没有按照规定阅读例句,影响了口试进度。而最大的问题就是因为看不到考官的面貌,单凭几个简短的评价词语,很多考生对自己的口语水平没有十足把握。
对此,专家建议,中国考生在备考时要“能说尽量说”,有意识地将听说读写融合在一起,无论练习哪一项时都做相关练习是最重要的。
二.克服托福口语难点需要3个小妙招
1.思维敏锐
西方人在口语表达时会事先在头脑中形成类似于写作一样的大致的逻辑框架,对开头(提出论点),中间(发展论点),结尾(总结或辨析)进行规划。所以学生只要应用了逻辑的开头,以此来陈述立场,进而发展论点,就会让考官形成思想认同,觉得你这个人逻辑思维到位,从而取得高分。而很多中国考生过于“含蓄”,回答问题毫无计划性。以这种思维方式来与西方人进行沟通,不仅影响双方理解,时间(通常是45秒-1分钟)也不允许。
2.语音和语法
很多中国考生理解为说得快就是英语流利的体现,结果发音含混不清,很多考官重点考察的发音不到位,而在词语运用上过于简单,信息含量低,影响考官打高分。因此,考生在陈述过程中要有丰富的抑扬顿挫的语调。对于语句重音、语调方式及停顿等,要掌握得自然飘逸。并注意口语的修辞化,对一些修辞能恰到好处地进行引用。
3.掌握答题时间
平时考生在准备口试的时候应该强迫自己对于某个话题在最短的时间内形成一个清晰、有逻辑性的观点以及证明过程,并试图先用中文表达出来,以后再慢慢地过渡到英语上面去。
托福口语备考中基础很重要,技巧也很重要。只要肯努力都能打好口语基础,但是技巧的学习却需要一些指导,建议大家在备考口语的时候注意提升思维敏锐度,提升语音和语法,掌握好答题时间。

Some people prefer to watch entertainment programs on TV. Others prefer to watch educational programs. Which do you prefer? Explain why.

托福口语参考答案一:
年8月20日托福独立口语答案Task 2
Well, I would prefer watching educational programs on TV. Coz first they satisfy my curiosity. I am a big fan of many natural science subjects, like astronomy, geology, physics, and biology, every time when I am watching those educational programs like National Geography or BBC Planet Earth, I learn so much, which really help to expand my horizon. Second, as a student, I have been quite busy everyday, like I have to take classes like 8 hours a day and deal with endless presentations, school works and club activities etc, so listening to music is my way to unwind and blow off steam, coz I barely have time for entertainment programs on TV, be it soap operas or reality show.
托福口语参考答案二:
Personally, I prefer to watch entertainment programs on TV. First off, it helps to release my pressure, and I get a chance to relax and unwind. You know, I am pretty busy with tough coursework, like mid-terms, research paper, and presentation to work on during the whole semester. Additionally, it is very interesting and fun to watch. I watch entertainment programs like stand-up comedy, talk shows, TV series, especially American sit-coms. Not only can I learn English expression, but also I can get to know American culture and customs.(新东方 孟炎)
托福口语参考答案三:
I think that would be good. Many 60-year-olds are still physically strong.
For people like civil servants, who have comfortable jobs or are in power, it is the later the better.
If our healthcare and children's education can be better guaranteed, I think I will still be able to work for five more years. But if the social security is inadequate, I will find it quite hard to work another five years. It depends on how the society can reduce the pressure that's on us.
Statistically, “actual dependency ratio”(实际赡养比)will be five to one in . If China doesn't take itself to full employment, increase low-income people's earnings so that they can not only feed themselves but also elderly people, or push pack the retirement age. By 2020, we will become a seriously aged country. It will lead to a series of social problems and directly threaten our goal of having a prosperous society in 2020.
I think there are pros and cons. The positive side is that middle-aged and elderly professionals can continue to make contributions to society. The negative side is that young people may have difficulty finding jobs.In an aging society, the number of elderly people is growing. If we push back retirement by another five years, young people will have fewer and fewer opportunities.
Well,I prefer to watch entertainment programs on TV due to the following reasons.
Firstly, TV programs mainly serves as an entertainment way for people to relax. I often choose to watch various entertainment TV programs such as Super Girls, Sound of China and so on to relieve my stress from study. Secondly, watching relaxing TV programs is not as serious as watching educational ones. I have many other ways to educate myself such as reading books, taking classes ,which are more effective than learning on TV. Additionally, there are many commercials on TV which easily take away my attention.

托福口语参考答案一:
Well, this is a very interesting question. I would like to say that writing letters to each other and stay connected with friends and families when one is studying or working in another city used to be a tradition in my country. Currently, people use technology gadgets to keep in touch and catch up with each other. I really think it is better to write letter to each other once in a while. Writing letters can develop students' writing skills, you know high school students can barely write an intelligible sentence. Also, writing letters can showcase your handwriting and personalities, however, writing email cannot achieve this.
托福口语参考答案二:
Sample answer:
In my point of view, putting up the Spring Festival scrolls to welcome the Chinese New Year should be a popular tradition that young people still ought to follow. As we all know, on Spring Festival’s eve, Chinese people paste red couplets on their gates to enhance the warm traditional festival atmosphere. The poems on the couplets are usually written by calligraphers who use Chinese traditional writing brush and dip it into ink. The red Spring Festival Couplets symbolize good fortune, good health and good luck in the new coming year. So, it’s really an extremely important custom for Chinese people to inherit.

I would like to talk about cheongsam(旗袍的正式翻译), a kind of body hugging, one piece traditional dress for women, it is usually made of silk, with exquisite phoenix and delicate flower patterns like peony, orchid and chrysanthemum, Originally, cheongsam was created in the 1920s Shanghai (上海)for upper class women to replace those baggy and loose dresses, now ordinary women can afford it, they wear it mainly on special occasions like parties or ceremonies. I think it is really unique and traditional, coz it represents the unique beauty of the oriental women.
在托福口语考试中,经常会考到人物品质类的话题,比如考生在考试的过程中,经常会被问到作为一个好邻居,好老师,好朋友,好父母,好领导或者好同事应该具备的品质。然后,我们就从以下几个方面入手来分析。
一.情态动词
首先,我们来看看will/would,may/might, should, can/could的不同之处。
1.首先,我们来看一下will和would
(1)它们used to show that you are willing or already to do sth用语表示愿意准备做某事,would的语气更加委婉一些。
I will come up and help you clean the room in a minute.我马上就来帮你打扫房间。
(2)请求某人做某事,would的语气更加委婉。
Excuse me. Will you/Would you please help open the door for me?麻烦您帮我开一下们可以吗?
2.may/might
(1) If sth may happen or may be true ,there is a possibility that it will happen or be true, but it is not certain.表示可能,也许,may的可能性大于might、
例句:I may be late, so start without me.我可能会迟到,不要等我。
(2)表示很客气的去请求某事,might比may更加委婉。
I‘d like to open the window ,if I may.如果可以的话,我想去打开那扇窗户。
3.should。它表示应该,应当,表示这样做时最好,最公正,其中ought to和be supposed to 是它的同义词
4.can/could懂得,会。could可以作为can的过去式
(1)表示可能性,can表示的可能性大于could
例句:I am sure I can work it out.我确定我可以解决这个问题
(2)have permission to do sth. Or to be allowed to do sth允许,could的语气更加委婉。
例句:You can not go home until you finish your homework.不完成作业不允许你回家。
二.具体应用
然后我们来一下情态动词该怎样应用在答题中。
1.父母
In your opinion, what are some important qualities of a good parent?
构思:我们可以从patient耐心,considerate有爱心,exemplary树立榜样,supportive,支持,trustworthy值得信赖的
(1)patient-耐心
A good parent should be a listener to the children好的父/母应该是孩子的倾听者
A good parent can accept the children’s annoying behaviors. 好的父/母应该接受孩子恼人的行为。
(2)considerate-有爱心
A good parent should always think of what the children really need. 好的父/母应该考虑孩子的真正所需
A good parent is not supposed to overindulge their children. 好的父/母不应该溺爱它们的孩子。
(3)supportive-支持

(4)Exemplary-树立榜样
A good parent ought to set good examples for children in every respect.好的父/母应该从方方面面给孩子树立榜样。
A good parent should keep an eye on his or her own misbehaviors.好的父/母应该特别关注自己的不当行为。

A good parent is like a close friend with whom children can share anything.好的父/母就像朋友一样,孩子可与之分享一下。
A good parent is supposed to always keep his or her promise. 好的父/母应该重视自己的诺言。
2.好朋友
In your opinion, what are some important qualities of a good friend?在答题的时候,可以从humorous幽默,helpful热心,honest和loyal忠诚,sensitive善解人意
(1)humorous-幽默
I like my friend to be humorous.和A humorous friend can cheer me up when I feel down by his funny actions.可以转化为
A humorous friend is a person who can cheer me up when I feel down by his funny actions.
(2)helpful-热心
I like my friend to be helpful.和A helpful friend will give me a hand when I need help.可以转化为A helpful friend is a person who will give me a hand when I need help.
(3)loyal-忠诚
I like my friend to be loyal.和A loyal fiend will always be faithful to me under any circumstances.可以转化为A loyal fiend is a person who will never betray me under any circumstances.
(4)Honest-诚实
I like my friend to be honest. 和An honest friend will never cheat on me.可以转化为An honest friend is a person who will never cheat on me .
(5)sensitive-善解人意的
I like my friend to be sensitive.和A sensitive friend can understand my feelings and problems.因此可以转化为A sensitive friend is a person who can understand my feelings and problems.
托福口语考试难点及备考应对策略简单分析
托福口语独立口语TASK1-2难点分析
新托福口语考试具有一定的难度。比如,前两道独立口语任务是以一问一答的形式展开,考生在了解问题后只有十五秒的准备时间,然后用四十五秒钟将回答通过麦克风录入电脑头脑中。如果对考试内容很陌生,考生一定会很乱,不知道该从何说起,可能会东一句,西一句的,毫无条理性。建议考生把自己的思路、想法落实到书面上,用笔记来帮助整理你的思路。平时练习的时候也可以将自己的回答像写作文一样,一字一句的写下来修改语病。然后大声读熟,再重新回答问题。这样把一套题目练熟之后,再进行下一套题目的练习。另外,独立口语任务也可以拿作文题目当口语练。
托福口语综合口语TASK3-6策略讲解
综合口语任务的难点在于理解、记录听力内容,并用自己的话做口语复述。可以先锻炼自己听抄、听记的能力。然后练习将记录的信息用口语自然的表述。每道题按此方法反复练习几遍,必会提高听力和口语表达能力。平时练习时要注重日常、校园生活场景以及学术场景。考生可以就现有的托福口语教材为依据,直接对口语题目中的文稿做出总结归纳、口语复述。
托福口语主观评分要点介绍
机考口语的评分是人评分,内容的逻辑展开和具体细节的表述最重要,其次是流利,发音能明白就可以,因为托福考的是母语非英语的人的英语水平。美国人评分是比较公平公正公道的,他们会根据全球母语非英语的平均水平确定的。
托福口语第五题分析
托福口语第五题(Problem and Solution)在六个任务当中,属于便于应答、得分相对高,且在综合口语题中唯一一个可以表达自己观点的任务。
在考试中,考生首先听到一段对话,应对这类题需要边听对话边记笔记(这个环节对学生的速记能力有要求,课上会做具体讲解,此处暂略过)。考生在速记时需锁定的重点是:1,对话中探讨的问题是什么?2, 两大解决问题的方案是什么?3,两大解决方案各自的利弊是什么?
第五类型题的提问方式非常固定:“briefly describe the problem that was discussed in the conversation and to state which of the two solutions you prefer, and explain why you prefer that solution”. 问题中包含如下四个要点:1. The problem(对话中当事人遇到什么问题或麻烦?比如时间冲突:time conflict等问题);2,2 solutions(解决问题的2个方案是什么?);3, My suggestion(考生建议当事人作何选择);4,My reasons(考生提供的原因,练习时最好做到提供2点原因,可直接借用听力中出现的信息,提供一个选项的好处和另外一个选项的弊端;如在听力中有漏掉的信号,也可考虑自己想理由自圆其说)。
如果考生平时就有广泛涉猎、为自己创造英文环境的意识,比如常看原版电影、电视剧、听歌、听名校公开课或是英文广播等,应答这类题型就不存在太大困难。只要速记时记好要点,按上面提到的四大看点逐一回答即可。答题框架如下:
In the conversation, the man/ woman has a problem that_______. There’re 2 solutions to solve out the problem. The 1st one is to ______,the 2nd one is to_______. Personally speaking, I suggest the man/woman to________. ∵1, _______; 2, _________.
曾听过未经准备便赴考的这些“裸考”的同学抱怨,第五类型题貌似不难,听力的部分并不难懂,轮到自己输出表达时也不愁没话可说,但为什么最后的得分总是不甚理想呢?究其原因,和考生的英语水平未必相关,而是应答思路出了问题。比如有人在2个解决方案的部分大费口舌,花了不必要的时间用于谈及每个解决方案的好处和弊端,导致还没来得及交代个人建议和理由时时间已到。试想像,60秒的答题时间内,4个看点你才完成了前2个,整体表现和应答分数又怎能不受影响呢?
托福口语一定要逻辑清晰
对于新托福口语考试的重点在于逻辑结构,只有逻辑清晰的语言表达才能得到高分。脱口而出、条理清晰是因为在表达时都会事先在头脑中形成大致的一个逻辑框架,即对开头、中间和结尾进行规划。
重在时刻保持语言的逻辑性,除了要丰富内容外,还应合理安排出内容发展,才能在托福口语考试中脱颖而出。如果考生们能以这样的思维方式和逻辑与考官的思想达成共识,离高分也就近了一步。
那么如何才能在短短的回答中让自己的托福口语回答显得条理清晰、具有逻辑性且内容完整呢?
在新托福口语考试的6个Task中,前2个是Independent Task,后4个为Integrated Task。前面2个可以直接根据指令来回答问题,而后面的4个要以综合听力和阅读的内容作答。
在Task 5的时候,加入的是听力的内容,也就是先听对话,再根据对话内容回答问题,准备时间为20秒,答题时间为60秒。
Task 5作为4个Integrated Task中唯一一个询问考生观点的题目,自然要求考生观点阐述相对于内容要更为简单些。因此,攻破这关的要点应按照“复述问题-复述方案-选择方案-阐明理由”的步骤来进行,而这个步骤也就是我们开头所提到的逻辑框架。

简单说说托福口语和雅思口语
我们都知道,每考生根据留学、工作或者移民目的地的不同,会选择不同的英语水平测试。比如到英国或者英联邦的国家,我们会选择雅思考试(IELTS),而到美国以及大部分北美的国家,则会选择新托福考试(TOEFL)。
无论是雅思还是新托福考试,它们都是对英语综合能力的一种测试。因此都会针对听、说、读、写四个方面来全面地测试学生的英语能力。
那么今天我们首先来了解一下托福口语与雅思口语的区别何在。
两种考试的口语分别希望考我们什么?我们首先来谈一谈雅思和新托福口语考试的评分标准有什么不同。根据ETS的官方指南(Offical Guide),我们知道新托福口语考试从言语表达、语言应用和话题发展三个方面来考查考生。而雅思口语考试更侧重考察考生的流利程度、词汇、语法以及发音四个方面。简言之,新托福口语考试时考查考生的校园日常对话以及课堂交流能力。而雅思口语考试考查学生的生存英语能力,即话题涉及的范围比较广。很多专家解释为新托福口语考试的答题内容比较重要,即单位时间内有逻辑地表达的信息越丰富越好。而雅思口语考试的表达比较重要,即越像英语本土人说话越好。
两种口考试的形式又有什么区别?这里我们简单的介绍一下两种口语考试的考试题型。新托福口语考试与雅思口语考试有着很大的差异。新托福口语考试的时间为20分钟,考生要戴上耳机,通过录音,记录下自己的答案。考试题目有6题,其中1、2道为独立回答题,这两道题的准备时间为15秒,回答时间是45秒。第3、4道要求先读一段75~100字的文字,然后听一段与阅读文字在内容学术话题。3、4题的准备时间是30秒,回答时间是60秒。最后的5、6道先听一段1分钟左右的对话或短文,然后回答相应内容加上自己的意见。最后两道题目的准备时间是20秒,回答时间为60秒。考生可在听录音的过程中做笔记来帮助答题。雅思口语考试一般时长12至15分钟,要和考官进行面对面的交流。口语分成三个部分,第一部分谈论一些日常话题,比如学习、工作、天气、爱好、交通等等。第二部分考生拿到一张卡片,准备一分钟,然后就卡片中的内容发言一至两分钟,卡片可能是人物、体育、环境、艺术、科技、传媒等话题。第三部分,考官将对第二部分的内容进行扩展,提问一些较为深入和抽象的问题。
那针对两种考试,我们要注意什么呢?
时间。无论是新托福口语考试还是雅思口语考试,考生掌控时间能力的强弱对成绩有着直接影响。新托福口语考试对时间的要求更高一些。因为答题时间最多不超过1分钟。但是需要表达的信息却不能少。如第1、2中的题目属于日常话题,这两道题本身难度比较小,所以特别需要注意的就是时间的分配问题,在这45秒钟里,一般用5~6秒完成主题句。接下来的15-20给出一个支持观点和细节。然后用同样的时间给出第二个。因此如果考生能在考前进行充分的准备,积累常用的细节或者事例,考试的时候就会从容许多。而雅思口语考试除了第一部分以外,第二、三部分的时间掌控主要体现在答案结构的安排。我们不能具体到每个细节用多少时间。但是除了开头和结尾的30秒外,每一个小点应该安排30-35秒左右。每一个小点如何能讲出更多的信息,如何使你的表达听起来更专业,更地道,更符合西方国家的文化习惯,是我们在考试中需要时刻记住的。其实雅思口语和新托福口语考试最大的不同在于雅思口语的单个题目答题时间比托福口语的时间要长。这就要求雅思口语的答题中细节要更加细致。其次是雅思口语考试的答案都是主观题,而新托福口语考试的综合任务大部分都是重述题目中已经给定的内容。
细节的细致程度。我们来看5月30日雅思口语第一部分的一个真题:Which room do you like most ? 这个题目在的新托福口语第一道任务中也出现过。我们先来看一个新托福3.5~4(exccellent)分的答案::(45秒、8句)The room I like most is defnitely my own bedroom, because I decorated it myself. My mom was so kind that she allowed me to chooes all the staff that I wanted to adnore my room, like the pink bed, the pink curtains as well as a gorgeous pink book shelf. What’s more, it is also a trustworthy friend of mine. It would remian bright even I burnt the midnight oil; it would play Marseillaise if I felt hopless and it always turns the cold shoulder to me when I make mistakes. I like my room most not only because of it is attractive by appreance, but also sincere inside.
我们看见,托福口语的答案有了细节和理由,加上完整的结构和正确的语法就可以了。但是雅思口语的第一题都是简答题。因此简单回答重点即可。如: it of course is my bedroom, because I decorated it myself and it is a good friend to share happines and woes. 但是倘若这道题目出现在第二个部分中,答案这样是不够的。从时间上来讲,细节应该更加细致才能有足够的内容说。从内容上来说,更应注意表达的多样性。从表达上来讲,应该注意和考官的眼神交流。
我们来看一个7.5分的口语表达:(最好2分钟)There are a lot of rooms I like to stay in when I am at home, but among all these, I think my bedroom is on the tip of my tongue when you ask me such question. Well, I am the Chief desginer of my room and I took care of almost all the decoration purchase. I have brought all the pink staff home: the pink Bohimian bed, the pink wood book shelf as well as the pink lace curtains with a lot triangle patterns on them. I am such a huge fan of pink. Another point I would like to mention here is the loyality my bedroom represents to me. I always stay late due to a lot of assignment, but my room never has any complian. What’s more, it is always the last one to hit the hay. My bedroom is also very inspiring that it keeps playing Marseillaise if I encounters setbacks. The last point of my friend is that it blames me when I make mistakes. Like once, I had an argument with my mom because she refused to buy a new shirt for me. When I locked myself inside my room, I found the wall turns its shoulder to me that it looks white. I felt loney and regreting that probably I should not be such gready guy. That’s probably why I feel like falling in love with my tiny but fantastic bedroom.
托福口语考试怎么考?托福口语考试介绍
一. 托福口语考试6大题型详细介绍
大家都知道托福口语考试分为独立口语和综合口语两种。第一题和第二题属于独立题,准备时间为15秒,回答问题时间为45秒。题型要求考生就某一话题阐述自己的观点。问题会被朗读出来,同时会出现在屏幕上。第一道题要求考生根据题目表达自己的观点并解释原因。第二道题要求考生在两个相反的事物中选择一个并解释原因。
第三、四、五,六道题均为综合题。第三题和第四题是集合了读,听,说的形式。阅读时间为45秒,听力时间为60秒-120秒,准备时间为30秒,回答时间为60秒。也就是先阅读一篇文章,听一篇文章,然后回答问题。阅读材料为一个自然段,75-100个单词,听力材料是两个学生的对话,是对阅读材料中提出的问题的评论。第四题就是学术题,学生学习方面的,阅读材料为75-100个单词的长度学术性材料,听力材料是老师的课堂讲解。考生可以在听录音的过程中做笔记来帮助答题。 第五题和第六题集合了听、说的形式。相比第三、四题少了一份阅读材料。听力时间为60秒-120秒,准备时间为20秒,回答时间为60秒。第五道题是听力材料题。它是一道情景题,是学生之间关于学习生活中涉及的任意话题的对话。第六道题是学术题,内容可如历史课老师在讲课等,考生可以在听录音的过程中做笔记来帮助答题。
二.托福口语考试形式
大家都知道托福口语考试是机考,口语也不例外。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,所以需要完全依靠听力去听懂题目,然后根据题目来回答。
所以,大家都了解了,口语考试一共分为6个题目,考试形式为机考。题型为综合口语和对立口语。希望大家在平时备考的时候也能有针对性的备考,多准备一些答题素材和模板。口语的基本功靠积累,考前突击也有效果,希望大家能够把握备考时间,预祝大家取得理想的成绩。
托福口语:备考的重要提醒
第一、对题型和解题技巧没有熟悉就匆忙上阵
考托福口语,就像和敌人打仗。你不知道敌人怎么出招,你也就不知道你自己应该出什么招。这样,你打败仗就是必然的。建议:熟悉题型。
第二、缺乏迅速组织好答案的能力
考生在托福口语考试中,面临两点压力:
1、时间紧、任务重。托福口语的答案准备时间只有15-30秒,答题只有45/60秒。如果,没有接受过正规的训练,考生在考场上必将不知所措的、语无伦次。
2、要迅速呈现“完整的答案”,这也就要求考生的答案“浓缩精华”。没接受过“答案构思训练”,“浓缩精华”也是难以做到的。
第三、考场上表现得不够自信和大方
原因有二、
1、缺乏口语练习,导致考生在答题时表现得不自信。
2、性格过于内敛,导致考生在答题时表现得不够张扬。考场上表现得不够自信和大方不是形式上的问题,而是本质问题,因为这样以来,考生答题的音量就会小、发音就会模糊、分数也就不可能高。
建议:
1、“信心来自实力,实力来自练习”。
2、不论你在平常的性格如何,在考场内答题时,你必须表现得开朗、自信、大方。
第四、口语答案的语言缺乏表现力
总体来讲:英语语音不准确、语调无起伏、语言不流利、结结巴巴。
建议:
1、了解语音语调方面的知识(适当了解,而不要花太多精力在这方面),提前发现并纠正自己的语音语调错误
2、每天坚持大声、清晰、准确地朗读一段80-120字的英文段子。
托福口语:口语题型的应考对策
但iBT Speaking与TSE有着很大的差异。iBT Speaking包括6个题目,其中1、2道为独立回答题。另外第3、4道要求考生先阅读一段文字,然后再听一段与阅读文字在内容上相关的听力材料,最后考生按照要求回答相关问题。它们分别是情景题和学术题。最后的5、6道以听力材料为基础,要求考生回答相关问题。
首先,考生掌控时间能力的强弱对这个部分成绩的高低有着直接影响。前两道题的准备时间为15秒,回答时间是45秒;3、4题的准备时间是30秒,回答时间则是60秒;最后两道题目的准备时间是20秒,回答时间为60秒。大部分考生都反映口语部分的准备时间利用效率低、做答仓促。如第1、2中的题目属于日常话题,这两道题本身难度比较小,所以特别需要注意的就是时间的分配问题,在这45秒钟里,一般用5~6秒完成topic sentence, 接下来的40秒应以每一个detail或者example不超过3~4句话的规律完成该话题,也就是说大致20秒完成一个detail或example的表述。如果考生能在考前进行充分的准备,锻炼自己的口语思维,积累常用的details或examples,考试时就会从容许多。
其次,考生要对6道题目的评分标准和题目本身的要求有具体的认识,并根据自己的基础在考前针对iBT Speaking的6种类型做集中训练。
关于评分标准,OG (Official Guide官方指南) 上都有详细的说明,ETS以下列3点作为自己的评分准则:
1. Delivery: How clear your speech is. Good responses are those in which the speech is fluid and clear, with good pronunciation, natural pacing, and natural-sounding intonation patterns.
2. Language Use: How effectively you use grammar and vocabulary to convey your ideas. Raters will be looking to see how well you can control both basic and more complex language structures and use appropriate vocabulary.
3. Topic Development: How fully you answer the question and how coherently you present your ideas. Good responses generally use all or most of the time allotted, and the relationship between ideas and the progression from one idea to the next is clear and easy to follow.
总结下来,即考生必须尽量做到使自己的语言流畅、清晰、易懂,并且能够熟练使用口语词汇。其中“流畅”要求考生要以较流畅的语速表述自己的观点,其实也是提醒考生必须有效利用时间。通常内容越丰富、信息量越大,越容易得高分。而清晰、易懂不仅要求考生的语音、语调应当尽量符合native speakers的习惯,更重要的是要求考生应恰当使用词汇、句型并且话语的层次应尽量清楚明了、过渡自然。
题型分析
Independent Topics题型
Independent task 1是Free Choice题,要求考生就某一常规话题用英语做45秒钟的陈述。考生对于这道题的准备应主要集中在people、place、object、event (人、地、物、事)这几个大方面。建议考生扎实准备OG、Longman 综合教程以及口语特训等教材上的题目,虽然在考试时直接考到它们的几率并不大,但是在复习过程中准备过的具体内容在考场上的作用却非常大。比如 “Describe the place you live in”与“Which city do you travel to most”、“Who is the person you admire most”与“Whom would you choose to visit for one hour”就可以相互借用大部分内容。
Independent task 2是Paired Choice题,也就是要求考生在提供的两个选择中选择自己喜欢的一个,并用details和examples支持自己的观点。如“ If you could choose to live in the city or live in the country areas, which lifestyle would you prefer and why”,考生需要做的是迅速确定自己的立场,其余的按照 Free Choice的准备就可以了,同时比Free Choice更好的表述是考生可以采用“抨击”另一种观点的方式来准备details,如考生可以陈述live in the city的不好来表达自己的观点——I prefer to live in the country。但是,本题在某些时候以“Do you agree or disagree”或者“compare and contrast”的形式出现,对于后者而言,考生不必表明自己的观点,只要陈述出两种选择的可比之处并加以诠释就可以了。
Integrated Tasks题型
第3~6题主要考查考生对于题目的认知程度,并依据reading和listening部分做好的notes进行有条理的、清晰的复述,或者加上自己的观点。对于考生来说,一定要充分理解题目,熟悉考题要求,充分理解它们分别要求自己做什么事情。首先,ETS 明确3、4题都不允许有任何的personal view,因此不允许出现“I think (I believe, I presume, I consider...)”或“As far as I’m concerned...”、“In my opinion...”之类的表达方式。而第5、6题则可根据具体要求加入考生的个人观点。
第3题要求考生在45秒之内读完一则notice或者 announcement,然后听一段对话或者monologue(独白),在听力材料中,说话者将就阅读材料里提到的决定发表看法。而题目通常都是要求考生对于说话者的观点进行陈述,并且要求考生复述出他或她 (们)在表达自己观点时谈及的原因。所以看清楚题目要求自己复述的是一个人还是两个人的观点也非常重要。
第4题是关于学术讲座的复述。这个部分要求考生在45秒之内阅读一段学术内容的文章,然后听一段教授的讲座,需要注意的是教授的讲座可能是针对阅读材料中的某一个细节进行发散性的详细讲解。这个环节的题目要求是客观陈述教授是怎样以examples和details来阐释reading中出现的某个术语。因此在做reading notes时要争取记下提到的术语的定义或者对某科学现象的分类和发展阶段等重要信息;而在做listening notes时则要对教授的举例和分类做重点记录,同时在问题出现后要抓紧30秒钟时间对reading和listening notes进行合理组织,建议考生抓紧时间标记出topic sentence的key words和supporting details,并将它们编号,帮助自己理清陈述的思路。第6题的处理方式与本题较为相似。
第5题是“problem-solution”题型,考生只要根据listening notes陈述清楚对话中的第一位说话者的problem以及第二位说话者提供的solution(s),其次根据Paired Choice的模式表明自己的立场以及原因就可以了。
(1) Independent task
我在这里建议大家在做笔记时从以下三个方面进行记录:topic主旨、sub-points or supporting details分论点、signal words or transitions信号词。
下面通过一个具体的例题来说明。
Question: Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.
Topic: library
Sub-point: read, study, rest, appointment
Signal words: firstly, secondly, moreover, the last but not the least
Sample answer:
A library is the most important place for me. I usually go to library twice a week. Firstly, I can read a lot of books for free in the library. Secondly, I can study there because it is a quiet place. Moreover, library is also a good place for me to have a rest, because no one bothers you there. The last but not the least, the library provides a wonderful environment for lovers to make an appointment. My parents had such experience!
(2)Integrated task
我建议大家在做这部分笔记时无论是阅读部分还是听力部分,都从主题topic、事例example、信号词transitions这三面来把握。
下面我们同样通过一个例题来说明。
The University has decided to discontinue its free bus service for students. The reason given for this decision is that few students ride the buses and the buses are expensive to operate. Currently, the buses run from the center of campus past university buildings and through some of the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. The money saved by eliminating the bus service will be used to expand the overcrowded student parking lots.
The man expresses his opinion of the university's plan to eliminate the bus service. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
以上为综合例题的阅读部分,听力由于很长这里就不列举出来了。在阅读时首先大家要把我们上面说的这三个部分标示出来,如上面所示。至于听力部分我这里只想强调一点,大家一定要提高对信号词的敏感度,通过信号词的指引来掌握材料的关键信息。只有平常多做练习,才能从根本上提高你分辨提取重要信息的能力。
Sample answer:
Obviously the man disagrees with the idea that the school will eliminate the bus service, because he thinks the fee of the car parking is so expensive and it is unreasonable to change the road and eliminate the bus. Also he points that if the school expands the student parking, more and more students will drive to school which will cause a lot of noise and maybe more traffic accidents. As a result, the school should encourage the students to take bus instead of driving to school, which is also bad for the environment of the school.
(3) 除了要提高对信号词的敏感度,在平常学习时也要有目的地多积累储备一些信号词,因为这些词的正确使用不仅可以使你的口语表达更有条理、更加连贯,而且运用在写作中也可以起到同样的作用,何乐而不为呢?
(4) 多多学习并且记忆一些不错的谚语,然后添加到你的主观题部分,它们会起到画龙点睛的作用!
托福口语考场丢分的原因

托福独立口语的3个答题思路要点
托福独立口语答题思路要点一:量化表达
45秒内到底要说哪些内容,要怎样才能做到在短暂的时间里控制好节奏,并清晰有效地表达自己的观点?要回答这些问题,我们就首先要弄清楚,45秒内到底要说多少句。
根据经验,在保证口语清晰性和连贯性的情况下,45秒的时间里,应该把句子数量控制在9句话。如果在规定的时间里说得太多太快,那么清晰性会受到很大影响。反之,如果说得太少太慢,那么表达时的衔接可能就不是非常连贯。而9句话的量,相对于45秒的时间来说,压力并不是非常大,考生可以很从容地说完。
对于语速偏慢的考生,可能45秒之内很难说到9句话。考生如果有这种情况,应该先进行一段时间的快速朗读训练,把自己的语速提上来,为进入下一步的训练打好基础。对于在45秒之内能说出十几句的考生来说,最好适当地把节奏放慢一点。因为考试是需要录音的,如果语速太快,录音的效果可能就不会太好了。
托福独立口语答题思路要点二:掌握答题结构
口语考试毕竟和平时的闲聊不同,要求回答问题具有一定的逻辑性,不能想到什么就说什么。为了达到这一目的,考生应该掌握一些基本的答题结构。新托福口语考试task1是选择性问题,其基本的回答结构可分为以下3种:
两点式
所谓两点式,就是用两点原因来阐释一个主题。这种结构的优势在于内容丰富而全面,缺点在于可能出现两点原因重复,或是头重脚轻的现象。根据一般规律,我们可以将两点式归纳成以下结构:主题句+支持句1+扩充1+支持句2+扩充2。
一点式
与两点式不同的是,一点式只提出一点原因,后面配上一两个具体的例子进行进一步说明。其基本结构可以归纳为:主题句+支持句+例子。
对比式
如前文所述,task1是一个选择性的问题,一般要求考生在两个观点中做出选择,并加以阐释。考生在回答task1时,可以对比一下这两个观点,进行正面和反面的对比。对比式的基本结构为:主题句+正面支持句+正面扩充+反面支持句+反面扩充。
托福独立口语答题思路要点三:合理分配答题时间
了解了task1的答题结构之后,考生们还要注意合理分配答题时间。
答题的第一句话,基本上都是一句主题句,用时建议控制在5秒左右。第二句,可以说一句支持句,时间也要控制在5秒左右。运用两点式和对比式的考生,第三句到第五句可以用来扩充,适当加入例子或是细节,时间控制在15秒左右。第六句可以再说一句支持句,时间5秒左右。第七句到第九句,则用来进行进一步解释,时间同样控制在15秒左右。按照这样来分配时间和内容,可以很好地把握考试的节奏,多加练习之后,考生可以更加从容地应对考试。
托福口语中的5种代词用法错误
第一种错误与反身代词的使用有关
反身代词表示“某人自己”,比如“Many children are addicted to computer games and they cannot control themselves at all.”教学中笔者发现,学生清楚这种用法,但是不会表达“某人自己的”这个概念,总是说“Teenagers cannot control themselves behaviours”。这句话中,themselves要改为their own才能体现出“某人自己的”这层意思。因此,考生在口语表达时要格外留意这个点。
第二种错误是“格”出了问题。
最常见的情况是本该用形容词性物主代词(比如their),结果误用了代词的主格或宾格(比如用成了they或者them),或者在主格和宾格之间未能区分清楚(比如分不清they和them)。一个典型的例子是“Some graduates are proud of their diplomas; however, companies regard they as nothing.”。句中regard后面应接宾语,所以they应该改为them才对。
第三种常见错误是一个句子中代词的频繁转换,即所谓pronoun shift.
典型的例子是“When one searches on the Internet, you will potentially get onto illegal websites, which will cause negative consequences to us.”在这句话中one,you和us未能保持一致,让考官不知所云。应该修改为“When searching on the Internet, we may potentially get onto illegal websites, which will cause negative consequences to us.”
第四种常见错误是代词在“性别”上未能与被指代对象保持一致
这在学生的口语中是常见问题。比如学生所说这句话“Studying in a co-educational school, a girl may concentrate more on popular boys, which may cause ignorance of his study.”显然,his的出现与句子主语a girl是不相符合的,应该改为her。
第五种错误是代词在“数”上未能与被指代对象保持一致。
在“Girls are easy to be persuaded to buy cosmetics, because she always wants to be pretty.”中,主语是girls,为复数,但是原因状语从句中的代词却是she。改正的方法便是将she改为they体现“数”的一致,同时将wants改为want,实现从句内部的主谓一致。最终结果为“Girls are easy to be persuaded to buy cosmetics, because they always want to be pretty.”。
一.教育类词汇
参加托福考试的学生基本上都是要到国外去留学的,所以托福考试特别是托福口语考试主要考察的是考生在国外的大学中学习的能力。在考试中, task2部分出现话题最多的是教育类话题,在task3和task5中,也都是围绕着教育类话题来出题的。所以考生在备考的时候一定不要忽视对于教育类话题的词汇的掌握。
二.媒体类词汇
当今世界,是一个媒体快速发展的时代。几乎每个家庭中都会有电视,电脑。走在大街上,喧闹的音乐从未停止;每逢节假日,各种大片层出不穷。这种现象,当然也会纳入托福口语考试中出题者的考量。所以在备考托福口语的时候,也需要考生积累一些在媒体类话题中经常出现的词汇,比如在影视剧中经常出现的潮词,在广告中经常出现的广告词等等,以避免考生在面对这种话题的时候出现无话可说的状态。
三.工作类词汇
参加托福考试的考生不一定都是在校的学生,也有很多是已经参加工作的考生。所以在托福口语考试中,有很多时候,会让考生说说对于已经做过的工作或者自己期待的工作的想法。这个时候,如果考生没有一定的积累,就很难组织答案了。所以在备考托福口语的时候,希望考生掌握一些在工作类话题中经常出现的词汇。
四.家庭类词汇
在托福口语考试中,需要考生用自己发生过的事情证明论点。而在家庭中,在我们和身边的至亲接触的过程中,往往就会发生很多很多难以忘记的事情。所以在备考托福口语的时候,需要考生掌握一些在家庭中经常出现的词汇,比如grandaunt姑婆,姨婆;granduncle伯公,cousin堂兄弟(姐妹),表兄弟(姐妹);等等。
五.娱乐类词汇
托福口语考试常用句子
You are a dead duck. 你完了。
You are a thoughtful person. 你真周到。
You are all wet. 你完全错了。
You are just being polite. 你真会说话。
You are killing me. 真是笑死我了。
