托福IBT口语Task3,Task4实例赏析

 　　广大托友们都知道IBT口语的Integrated speaking部分又可以细分为Listening-Reading-Speaking类型和Listening-Speaking类型。其中Task3和Task4是属于Listening-Reading-Speaking类型，我今天拿来客户的两道Task3、Task4实例和大家一起分析一下，帮助大家一起面对并且解决Task3、Task4中常出现的问题！
　　Task3、Task4常见问题： 
　　1、人称的错误使用。
　　2、过渡词或者信号词的缺乏，使得整个陈述听起来没有层次不明显，在一定程度上影响了整体表达效果。
　　3、很大程度上照搬听力材料中的原话！
　　实例1
　　Western university announces a new course in the practice of professional tutoring. The course combines a discussion class with practical experience in either the Math Center or the Writing Center. In the discussion class, students will explore tutoring theories, examine the role of the peer tutor, and develop effective tutoring practices. In their practical experience, students will observe peer tutoring and advance to supervised tutoring. Students who are considering graduate school in related fields will benefit from this course. Enrollment is limited to 40 and requires the signature of an academic adviser.
　　I think the new course in practice professional tutoring is good for students who are considering graduate school. Firstly, the course combines discussion class with practical experience. Moreover, the students can learn how to teach and learn some practical theories about teaching and learning in the course. However, some universities don’t give teaching assistants much training. They just expect the teaching assistants know how to do it. So this course might be really useful for the teachers. And it might give you skills that could be useful later.
　　解析
　　1、人称的错误使用。Task3、Task4的题目要求通常如下：The woman/ man expresses her/ his opinion about something. State her/ his opinion and explain the reasons she/ he gives for holding that opinion.很多托友在对Task3、Task4的陈述中使用了第一人称而非题目要求的第三人称。这个问题可大可小，因为这直接关系到你有没有正确读懂题目要求的关键问题，所以大家一定要提高警觉了。
　　2、W: So this course might be really useful for the teachers.
　　R: So this course might be really useful for the students who want to the teaching assistant.
　　说明：这位托友对这句话的表达存在偷换概念的嫌疑，因为无论从阅读材料中还是听力材料中都可以听出Training course for tutors是针对毕业后想从事teaching assistant而开设的，所以这位女士才向其推荐。
　　(3) W: And it might give you skills that could be useful later.
　　R: And it will give them skills that could be useful later.
　　说明：人称的使用误差是这篇陈述的主要问题，因为使用了不同的人称后所传递的不同信息是大相径庭的！
　　(4)过渡词的严重缺乏。过渡词无论在口语表达中还是写作中都起到至关重要的作用，套用一句广告词：地球人都知道！稍微有点夸张！Signal Words就象指明灯一些会带领着听者跟着你的思路走，把握你说话的重点！这段陈述中则没有使用过渡词，所以我在上面的Sample answer加入一些Signal Words，并且用黑色字体标出。
