接受了很多年的应试教育英语学习,很多同学听到英语口语就头疼,但是托福考试作为出国的语言考试,对说英语就是英语口语一定是有要求的。那么托福口语要怎么准备备考呢?这就是我们今天要讨论的问题。
首先我们要知道托福说白了还是考试,只要是考试就一定有规律可循,评分者一定有欣赏具有一类特征的答案的倾向(也就是我们所说的标准答案)口语≠英语口才,他们都是一个个明码标价的题。托福口语其实也就是说你说到一个点就给一点的分(也就是我们所说的采分点),只要我们能抓住这些考试要求的点,那么通过托福口语考试,甚至说*通过托福口语考试都是不成问题的。
我们从托福口语独立部分来看,很多考生在TASK 1和TASK 2拿fair甚至limited,究其原因就是一下子不知道说什么。其实也很正常,考试的时候突然被丢给这么一个话题就让你用另一种语言说45s逻辑清晰用词准确的观点,看起来挑战性很大。但是,就像普通话考试准备话题一样,如果在考试前我们准备一些*话题,考试时我们直接从这些话题里抽取相关内容组合来答题,其实也没有我们想象的那么难了。
来举个例子看看*话题要怎么用。每个考过托福的同学都知道Describe the city you live in这个题,那么我们就来答答这个题。Beijing, China’s capital city, is a vibrant mix of history and modernity.One of the major attractions in Beijing are the zigzagging hutongs, an integral part of Beijing’s local culture. Hutongs are actually small public alleys with private courtyard residences. Hutongs are like folk-custom museums, presenting a window into a traditional way of life intertwined with the old architectures and a maze of narrow streets.The diversity and vitality of the city has also endowed Beijing with a varied and colorful night life. Lots of people choose to relax themselves in the bars. The numerous shows and performances, including Peking Opera and acrobatics, are attractive to lovers of live entertainment.首先,这个话题的质量*是很棒的,语言足以*一众I live in XXX的考生。其次,你以为这个话题可不是只能回答这一个题目。倘若让你描述一下the best area of the city 或者 the area of your hometown you would reccommend to a tourist,这个话题不就又用上了吗?
再看一个有关travelling/moving/living in different places这类话题的例子:I’d like to move around the world/ live in different places/ travel around world.First, it’s a perfect way to meet new people and make new friends. Living in different places actually provides a platform on which I can extend my social network by socializing with people from distinct culture backgrounds. That would be fun and meaningful. For example, during my business trip to Germany last summer, I made friends with a bunch of locals and businessmen from European countries.Moreover, moving around the world is an immensely enriching experience, through which I can have a glimpse of diverse cultures and enjoy exotically spectacular scenery out there. When I was in Germany, I was deeply fascinated by not only Gothic architectures and religion art but also palatable smoked pork and tasty beer. What a wonderful memory!这一段可以用来回答那些题呢?据我不完*统计,托福里跟这类题有以下这一堆:20111020CN S2Some students prefer to go to universities or colleges in their own cities or towns.

准备好一个话题可以对付这么一大堆题,是不是觉得战胜
