托福口语的四大困境

2010-09-08来源:和谐英语
导读:托福口语的四大困境: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;四、 用语平平,大量的语法错误和中式表达。   那回答印象深刻的事件,我们只需要稍微移动一下,主题句变成中秋节难忘,另外的两个分论点,可以是:一、因为这个中秋节在家过;二、因为这个中秋节有很多回忆。
  回答远离家乡时最怀念什么,同理,主题句可以是怀念家乡,可以是怀念家乡的中秋节,可以是怀念家乡的朋友Nancy, 可以怀念家里的一本书,老人与海。而分论点,当然又可以是段子的反复移动喽。
  这样看来,准备的题量会从几百个变为十几个。
  三、 表达上逻辑混乱
  很多同学不习惯先说主题,再说分点和细节,导致在这回答的45秒的时间内是说了些东西,但是ETS愣是不知道您到底要表达什么。
  解决方案:
  本身的思路要清晰,再用上过渡词和过渡句,如:
  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…
  四、 用语平平,大量的语法错误和中式表达
  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。
  比如,这样的描述:
  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。
