  新托福口语做笔记的误区与建议
  一、分类
  和新托福的写作分为independent writing和integrated writing一样,其实它的口语部分也可以分为independent task和integrated task.因为task1和task2基本属于personal reference,而task3-task6都不同程度上结合了listening, reading, speaking这三个方面,所以把这四道题归为integrated task.
  因为新托福口语允许做笔记,所以能否在自己的笔记中最大限度且全面地记录listening中的关键信息,就直接地关系到托友们的得分,因此托友们都十分头疼这个环节,我将在这里和大家分享一些相关的经验。
  二、误区
  阅读部分:
  (1) 盲目地记录一些文章细节,而忽略了对文章整体架构和主要信息的把握。
  (2) 缺乏对文章内容进行归纳总结的能力,把握不住文章的重点。
  (3) 不能通过阅读短文从而找出接下来要陈述时所能扩展的点或者说是可以说的点。
  听力部分:
  (1) 在这部分中,大家好走两个极端路线,一是对主体解释的理论部分作了过多的陈述,二是对文章举例部分描述太多,没有把这两个部分的比例合理安排好。
  (2) 速记的能力有待提高,而且本身考试的时间也很有限。
  (3) 考前没有做充足的准备,没有有计划地进行相关针对性练习,所以导致对题型不了解或者是做题速度上不去。
  (4) 有的托友本身的听力、语法、词汇的基础就比较弱,缺乏听力的技巧,譬如对signal words所透露的关键信息的把握。
  三、相关建议:
  (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!
