新托福口语难点及应对

　　夫英明者，卓越而明智也。一试何以显英明？当是万全准备，方能才华尽显。能力与技巧之珠联璧合，便能所向披靡。文从口语一题，窥一斑以见托福全貌。
　　托福口语第一题：准备时间15秒，回答时间45秒，需让考生基于个人经验谈论诸如最喜欢的人、地点、电影、书籍等等。来源：www.Hxen.com
　　经过大量的学生回答，总结发现考生的困难是：
　　一、 考试准备时间短，无话可说；
　　二、 范围太广，平时无从准备；
　　三、 表达上逻辑混乱；
　　Firstly, I like it because；On the other hand；In addition；What’s more；however；but；in spite of；nevertheless；on the contrary；for example…；such as…； for instance；in fact；important to note；most above all；especially valuable；
　　accordingly；for this reason；hence；So；then；thus；therefore；since；consequently…
　　口语反应时间短，平时练习又不够，所以导致答案用语平平，大量语法错误和中式表达。经常出现he/she乱用，过去事情用现在时态，动词乱用，形容词匮乏的情况。
　　解决方案：
　　每天翻译三个较复杂的句子，中翻英（材料带英文原文）。这样的练习可以真正提高语言能力，对比中英文差异，体会地道的表达法，胜似多一个外教在身边。再者，多留意生活和体会生活的细节感触。

　　Also, there is another reason I like this bar. They provide various kinds of drink that I never know. I would like to try one of them each time.
　　如果改成：Well, the place that impresses me most is an awesome coffee bar located in our community. I like this bar because it’s a fantastic place. The atmosphere is so fun. The building is amazing, and the food there is so nice. Stopping in after the meal at that coffee bar, you will be surprised to find the place fully packed with people. I decided to try their drip coffee instead of the latte. It was excellent, strong without being bitter. The chocolate chip cookie was good too.要生动具体很多。
