托福口语：如何增强自信?

　　在第一和第二题的独立口语任务中，大家需要作的是就自己的经历或向法来回答一些问题。题目主要涉及日常生活和一些社会现象，准备时间15秒，答题时间45秒。这类型考试的形式和面试很相似。15秒的准备时间形如虚设，根本无法让考生绘制一个好的答案。大家都知道，要想在面试中表现得好，事先必须有所准备，同理，要想在这两个题目上得高分，预先的素材准备时必不可少的。正所谓：有备无患，胸有成竹。信心百倍，微笑说话。

　　我们先来看看关于如下题目的两种答案：

　　What is you favorite place for reading?

　　Answer 1：

　　I think my favorite place for reading is the library. First because in thelibrary, many students are reading and you will read with them. Second becausein the library, you can get many books easily, so you can get to the informationquickly. En … so I like to read in the library. Answer 2：

　　Unlike many people, my favorite place for reading is the park. I just likethe atmosphere. Reading is tiring, and when I feel tired, I can look up from thebook and see people jogging on the path and boating on the lake. Then I feelrelaxed. Still, when your eyes feel tired, there are many green trees and lawnsto give them a good rest. In the park, you can see many old people taking theirbeloved birds and dogs for a walk. This gives me inspirations. Indeed, I like toread in parks rather than in libraries or classrooms.

　　大家一比较就会觉得，前者了无生趣，机械死板，内容单薄;而后者新颖敌特，语言丰富，内容翔实。我要求学学员在学习完毕之后能答出类似后者质量的答案，但在15秒的时间内准备出后面的答案对大多数同学来说是不现实的，而如果提前有所准备，情况就大为不同。于是第一和第二题的信心来自提前的准备。但考生又会有疑问，题目范围如此之广，涉题领域如此之大，怎么下手去准备呢?题目有无数，准备题目自然不是上策，而准备“资料库”，学会“借题发挥”则不一样，定会事半功倍，效果非凡。于是第一和第二题的成败关键就在于资料库的搭建和“转话”技巧的培养。
