托福口语考试的重要解题步骤
Task1题型分析
(1)这道题属于个人陈述题,choose a place/person/matter you like and explain why you like it.它要求你在陈述中加入对具体事例的描述。
(2)具体做题步骤:首先你必须确定你将要陈述的 specific topic,然后你要扩展2-3个sub points,当然要有相应的supporting details。此外,注意你整个陈述的时态把握,例如,你讲述的是关于一位过世的亲人,那么你的时态主要确定为过去式和过去完成时。最后要Pay attention to the time,尽量避免超时的现象。
(3)下面我们用一个具体的事例来说明。
事例1Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.
以下就是我一个客户对这道题的回答,大家可以参考一下,首先他首句就交待了主题the classroom is the most important place for him.然后扩展了两个sub points,一个是 study, 另一个是discuss problems with classmates.
Sample answer: As a student, the place I go to often which is very important for me is the classroom. Firstly, I can listen to the teacher face to face, and then I can acquire the knowledge according to the teacher’ instruction. I can also study by myself as nobody bothers me here. Secondly, I can discuss the problems with my classmates. We can exchange our opinions. Through the discussion, we can improve each other.
事例2 Describe a person you admire.
以下是我的客户对这道题的回答,首先他对自己陈述内容的整体架构把握地很好,分两个sub points来支撑它的主题,而且每个sub point都又有相应的supporting details来辅助。
Sample answer: I admire my father very much. Firstly, I think he is a wise man. When I am in difficult situation, he would give me a lot of useful advices. Secondly, his life is very successful. He makes a lot of efforts to make our lives better. He also has a lot of advantages which I should to study to learn from.
事例分析
(1) W: When I am in difficult situation, he would give me a lot of useful advices.
R: When I fall in difficulties/ get into trouble, he would give/ offer me a lot of useful advices.
第一句话的表达方式属于中国式英语的错误表达方式.改正后的表达更标准一些。
(2)在陈述中多次使用a lot of 。其实表示许多的词汇有很多很多. For example, many, much, a great deal of, plenty of, a great many, a large number of, a great deal of, a slew of, a myriad of还有建议大家在平常的学习中多多积累同义词,这对提高你的语言多样性表达方面很有帮助!
(3) W: He also has a lot of advantages which I should to study to learn from.
R: He also has plenty of strong points which I should learn from.
首先表示优点的词汇:strong point, strong suit, merit and so on.而advantage有有利条件,优势,利益,益处的意思,但是用它来表达优点不合适。此外,advantage有很多实用的固定短语:have the advantage of somebody比某人强,或者占上风;take advantage of somebody/ something充分利用某物/某人;to somebody’s advantage对某人有利。多积累这些实用短语,会对你的口语表达起到很大的作用!此外,study和 learn都有学习的意思,放在一起这样就造成了重复。也许在平常写作中不会犯这种低级错误,但是到真正考场上这并不意外!
