托福口语常见的错误训练方法

篇1:托福口语常见的错误训练方法

托福口语常见的错误训练方法

托福口语备考常见错误做法:缺乏造句能力

托福考生在面对口语时常会缺乏自信,而这种缺乏自信的表现之一就是不敢自己造句子。这些同学在面对不知道怎么表达某些内容的问题时,宁可去查询各类电子翻译软件工具也不愿意自己去尝试造句,或是缺乏基础的语法和句式方面的知识,又或者只是单纯地不相信自己的能力。而这种无法造句不敢造句的问题将会对大家之后的口语训练造成很大的负面影响。

改正方法:对于存在这个问题的同学来说,首先需要明确一点,那就是托福口语对于大家在句式语法方面的要求其实并不高,并没有规定考生必须要张口就能说出各种结构复杂的句式。大家只要能够合理的搭配使用好一些简单基础的句子,再加上几个常用的从句,就完全能够满足口语考试对于考生的句式要求了。

因此,考生只需要找一本语法书来,加深一下对英语句式成分和几种简单句式从句的相关知识,就完全可以依靠自己来组织句子,如果大家还是觉得不放心,那么再参考几篇各类托福口语的高分范文例子学习其中的句式用法,相信也能让各位同学更有自己造句的底气。

托福口语备考常见错误做法:不敢用英语开口表达

缺乏口语自信的另一个表现就是不敢开口用英语来表达。小编认识好几位托福考生,他们的托福写作文章都写得非常好,看得出其实是很有想法英语水平也很不错的同学。但这些同学在口语方面往往表现就比较糟糕,并不是肚子里没货面对题目无话可说,而是在此之前就不敢开口表达,总觉得自己发音不到位很容易说错丢人等等。抱有这种心态的同学,托福口语基本上就没法好好练习了,得不到提升也在所难免。

改正方法:小编一直觉得这种情况纯属心理问题,想要解决这个问题关键就在于调整心态树立开口自信。具体做法也并不复杂,觉得开口容易出错丢人,那么就先找没人的地方开口练习。托福考生中的绝大部分都是在校学生,学生要找个没人的教室甚至空旷的操场相信难度应该不大吧,找一个这样的场所开口说,不管说对说错,总之先把开头的勇气和自信提升上来是第一步。

接下来大家可以尝试把自己的口语用录音的方式录下来,之后通过自己反复听来进行发音方面的纠错,毕竟不敢开口不就是怕发音不规范出错吗?把发音纠正好自然就有自信了。总而言之,托福口语备考肯定是需要多做发音练习的,毕竟口腔也有肌肉记忆,哪怕是很熟悉的词汇如果平时说得不够多到了考场上照样会说不出或者发音变形。另外,托福口语只是对着电脑说,而不像隔壁雅思还得对着真人说,这样一想其实托福口语也就并不需要那么紧张了吧?

托福口语备考常见错误做法:没有限时的意识

缺乏时间概念和限时训练的意识,也是托福考生练习口语时较为常见的一个问题。大家可能在刚开始接触托福考试的时候觉得口语只要能出来说得到位就好,但却忽视了托福口语部分的一个重要考点,那就是时间限制。考生能够开口答题的时间是很有限的,口语中每道题目的答题时间甚至都是按秒计算的。备考中没有进行限时计时的训练,就会导致考生在实战中因为说不完来不及说而被扣分。

改正方法:大家在备考托福时一定要有这样一个概念:托福口语光是会说能说还不够,在限制时间内把想说的话完整准确地表达出来才是关键所在。因此,从口语备考进入实际练习的环节开始,考生就需要按照不同题型的时间要求来进行限时练习,把在规定时间内说完作为最基本的训练目标。

大家在进行口语训练时需要随时做好计时工作,每答一道题目都要进行计时,对于计时结果也需要分析汇总,如果是说得太慢到了时间还没说完,那么就需要考虑如何提升回答速度,从语速或是精简优化内容质量等方面来进行强化。而如果是说得太快提前较多时间说完,那考生还需要想办法填充口语内容,或是学习一些能够占满时间的标准套话,比如that’s why I believe+自己观点,或者that’ all, thank you for listening.等等。通过上述训练方式,小编相信大家就能在限时中顺利发挥出实力了。

托福口语如何做好基础备考

要想突破IBT口语,首先还是要实实在在的从基础做起。口语是个累积的过程,那么平日的练习必不可少。就IBT考试的出题重点来看,还是主要针对校园生活。所以平日可以在这方面多放一些注意力。多听听有关这方面的资料,可以起到事半功倍的效果。

另外,还要求考生具备在英语环境下听课并作课堂笔记的能力。所以平时要学会做笔记,这也是IBT考试的一个新的特点,在写作中也用得到。再者,要锻炼比较、总结并阐述自己观点的能力;及能够用英文处理校园生活中出现的问题的能力。这些对口语分数的提高都有很大的帮助。

就IBT考试出题的题型来看,主要是独立型和综合型. 所谓独立题型就是我们传统的考试题型,一问一答的形式。有十五秒的准备时间,然后用四十五秒钟将回答通过麦克风录入电脑. 综合题型是综合了读---READING, 听---LISTENING和说---SPEAKING 三种能力融合在一起进行测试的,对于中国考生来说是一种新的题型。

考试过程中先提供一篇很短的文章,用四十五秒钟读完.然后再听一段同样主题的文章.然后用三十秒对所读所听和两部分内容进行综合,比较,归纳,总结,最后在六十秒内将之通过麦克风录入电脑. 所以这类题型中对听力能力的要求也是非常高的,而非单纯的我们传统的口语考试。刚开始做这类题型的时候,建议可以先把答案落实到书面上。

因为开始接触这样的试题,头脑中一定会很乱,不知道该从何说起,可能会东一句,西一句的,毫无条理性。所以落实到书面上这样一个过程就是帮助整理你的思路。如果真的很难回答出来,就像写作文一样,一字一句的把答案写下来。然后大声读熟,再重新回答问题。这样把一套题目练熟之后,再进行下一套题目的练习。

经过一段时间之后,就可以只列出纲要,再根据纲要回答问题。最后一个阶段就是像正式考试一样,脱口回答问题。在练习的过程中除了要注意内容的完整性和条理的清晰性之外,还要注意语音和语调的标准,这是个漫长的过程,一定要从平时做起,要多多注意。例如,遇到这样的一个题目,可以先把它落实到书面上:

What place or landmark in your country do you recommend that other people visit?

在看到这样一个题目的时候, 先在脑海里搜索你所熟悉的place或者landmark. 找到以后,再筛选题目. 找到一个比较容易说的题目并且最好是大家所熟悉的话题.接下来就要想回答内容的支撑点. 然后再展开,分别找到其他的论据来论证它. 至少要说2-3个论据, 这样才更有说服力. 例如:

I recommend people go to Beijing, the capital city of China, for the following several reasons. First, Beijing is the best representative of a conventional Chinese city. It has numerous historic places like the great wall and the summer palace from which people can learn a lot about Chinese long history and rich culture. I recommend BJ also because it is china’s commercial center with high buildings stand against the sky. People can go shopping in the large shopping centers like international trade center. Anyway, if one can visit only one city in China, then the best choice is BJ since you can enjoy its beauty as well as prosperity.

Describe an object that is very special in your life. Explain why this object is important to you.

The object that is special for me is the book Harry potter one. I cherish it very much for the following several reasons. First, it is a present that my mother gave to me as my eleventh birthday gift. Second, after reading this book, I found books are actually amazing; the plots in it are quite impressive. And then, I developed an interest in reading books. I really appreciate that the book brings me to this fantastic world. Finally, by talking about the book, I meet so many friends that have the common interest of me. Therefore, this book is truly special for me, I’ll cherish it forever.

这样来回答就足够了. 实际上只要回答的内容完整,可以较好的支撑你的论点, 并且具有条理性就可以了. 还有就是要多多注意发音,发音好可以为你的口语提分不少.接下来就是读,再回答问题,相信经过一段时间的练习可以看到很明显的提高的。

在IBT口语考试中,切记不要兜圈子回答问题,而是要马上切入主题。因为独立回答部分的时间为45秒钟,其它的题目回答时间也只有60秒钟。要是慢慢的谈,很可能在最后因为时间不够,没能表述自己的观点。

托福口语:重点练习的话题

1. There’s a summer job you want at a company where aunt works. Do you plan to apply for the job on your own or do you prefer to ask your aunt to put in a good word for you. Include the advantages and disadvantages of your choice in your explanation.

托福口语

篇2:托福口语常见错误

托福口语常见错误梳理

【1】I very like it

I like it very much.

这个错误基本上是每个人都会出错的,原因非常简单,就是因为在使用中文思维,然后翻译成简单的英语表达,这是非常危险的一个习惯。

【2】这个价格对我挺合适的。

The price is very suitable for me.

The price is right.

suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children.在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。

【3】你是做什么工作的呢?

What’s your job?

What’s your occupation?

what’s your job?这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in? 最地道的是说Occupation. 顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书。

【4】用英语怎么说?

How to say?

How do you say this in English?

Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?

【5】明天我有事情要做。

I have something to do tomorrow?

Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.

用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I’m tied up.还有其他的说法:I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I have to stay at home.

【6】我没有英文名。

I haven’t English name.

I don’t have an English name.

许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。

明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.

【7】我想我不行。

I think I can’t.

I don’t think I can.

这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。

【8】我的舞也跳得不好。

I don’t dance well too.

I am not a very good dancer either.

当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。

【9】现在几点钟了?

What time is it now?

What time is it, please?

What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适。

【10.】我的英语很糟糕。

My English is poor.

I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.

有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.

当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。

另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。

【11】你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?

Would you like to join our party on Friday?

Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?

join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist Party.事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。

【12】我没有经验。

I have no experience.

I don’t know much about that.

I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.

【13】我没有男朋友。

I have no boyfriend.

I don’t have a boyfriend.

【14】他的身体很健康。

His body is healthy.

He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.

【15】价钱很昂贵/便宜。

The price is too expensive/cheap.

The price is too high/ rather low.

【16】我们下了车。

We got off the car.

We got out of the car.

【17】车速快了。

The speed of the car is fast.

The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”

【18】这个春节你回家吗?

Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?

是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)

当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)

以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.

【19】我觉得右手很疼。

I feel very painful in my right hand.

My right hand is very painful. Or “ My right hand hurts(aches).”

【20】他看到她很惊讶。

He looked at her and felt surprised.

He looked at her in surprise.

【21】我读过你的小说但是没料到你这么年轻。

I have read your novels but I didn't think you could be so young.

After having read your novel, I expected that you would be older.

【22】她脸红了,让我看穿了她的心思。

Her red face made me see through her mind.

Correct: Her red face told me what she was thinking.

【24】别理她。

Don't pay attention to her.

Leave her alone.

【25】我在大学里学到了许多知识。

I get a lot of knowledge in the university.

I learned a lot in university.

【26】黄山正在读书。

Samuel is reading a book.

Samuel is reading.

【27】她由嫉妒转向失望。

She was so jealous that she became desperate.

Jealousy drove her to despair.

托福口语模板:从事冒险活动是勇敢还是愚蠢

Some people think that risk-taking actions such as rock-climbing and skydiving requires a lot of bravery, while others think this is not brave, but simply foolish. Which view do you agree with and explain why.

有些人认为冒险活动,比如攀岩和跳伞需要很大的勇气,而另外的人认为这不是勇敢,而是单纯的蠢。你同意哪个看法,并请解释原因。

相似题目:

A lot of experienced and inexperienced climb mountains every year, which one of the following adjectives would you use to describe this experience? Adventurous, frightening or foolish?

很多有经验、没经验的人现在每年都爬山,你会用下面哪个词去形容这事?爱冒险的,令人恐惧的,愚蠢的?

这里分享北京新东方李家其老师为大家带来一个口语范文答案:

Well, I’d definitely call these people brave. My understanding of the word “bravery” is that one is ready to face and endure danger. And these people are doing just that. They are out there jumping off a cliff, or jumping down from a plane, all of which ①takes a lot of nerve.Compared to them, my life as an ordinary office worker would ②have nothing to do with the word “bravery”. Everyday I’d get up, ③commute to my company, and ④punch the clock. Even if I had the chance to go skydiving, I’d probably say no. So I’d⑤give them a thumbs up.

And as for the word “foolish”, I think we ⑥are not in the right position to call them that, because even if they are ⑦risking lives doing extreme sports, it’s their choices after all.

我肯定会把这些人称为是“勇敢”的。我对“勇敢”这个词的理解是,你准备好了去面对和忍受危险,而这些人恰好就是在这么做。他们从悬崖上跳下来,或者从飞机上往下跳,这都需要很大的勇气。而和他们相比,我作为一个普通办公室员工的生活,就和“勇敢”没什么关系了。每天无非起床,通勤去公司,打卡上班。即使我有机会去跳伞,或许也会拒绝的。所以我要给他们点赞。

至于“愚蠢”这个词,我觉得我们没资格这么说他们,因为就算他们为了做极限运动冒了生命危险,那毕竟也是他们自己的选择。

托福口语范文:租房子时最重要的因素

题目

When going to college, which do you think is the most important factor to consider when looking for an apartment?

--Friendliness of roommates

--Near stores and restaurants

--Size of the room

Sample Response

The most important factor for a college apartment is the people I live with. If they aren’t friendly, my college experience will be miserable.

First, agreeable roommates make everyday activities more pleasant. For example, if I am studying or sleeping and ask the person to turn the radio down, the person will so I can get my schoolwork done.

Also, friendly roommates can help when I have problems. For example, they might answer homework questions or share things I need. It is good to have someone close I can count on.

Because they affect me in many ways, friendly roommates are very important when finding a college apartment.

篇3:托福综合口语常见错误

托福综合口语常见错误汇总 这些错误一定要避免!

一.听力材料信息没说全

阅读的重要信息很好概括,问题多数出现在听力上。那怎么看信息有没有遗漏呢?首先,综合口语中的听力一定要记笔记。平时练习的时候,在做完口语题后,同学们要拿出听力文本读一下,对照着文本把重点画出来,然后反思自己刚刚听得过程中有没有遗漏这其中的要点,并且回看笔记,是否标记出了文章中的逻辑(逻辑词是否记的准确)。

二.依靠个人主观判断答题

我们都知道,答题要客观,不能加入自己的想法,但是很多时候我们答着答着就不自觉的跑偏了。跑偏情况主要有以下两种:

1.给某个结果多加入了前提条件

2.说的太简洁,没解释清楚

举个最常见的例子,本来是“因为A和B,所以C”,但你答得时候说成了“因为A所以C”。其实你如果回过头来再听自己的答案,这种错误很容易发现,但怕就怕在你自我感觉B这么常识性的内容没必要说,那这就是加入了你的主观想法了。

三.不了解评分标准

你答得必须是考官要听的。所以,平时对于口语的评分标准一定要重视起来。曾经一个口语考了27分的学生,他的语音真的没有优势,但他的逻辑就很对考官的“胃口”,完完全全是考官要什么,他就回答什么。即使语音语调平平,但最终也得到了27。所以你得搞清楚口语的key point在哪儿,改掉错误的答题习惯。况且本身口语就不是中国考生擅长的,所以咱们更得踏踏实实的弄透它。

以上是小站君为大家整理的托福综合口语常见错误,希望对大家备考有帮助。托福综合口语答题时一定要将听力材料中的观点表达完整,而且答案里不能根据个人主观臆断来答题,如果对综合口语评分标准不了解的话,建议在备考过程中看一遍OG。

托福口语高频话题解析:选室友最重要的品质

托福口语题目:无论是学习还是工作,大家都需要长期租房,那么在选择室友时,你认为以下哪一点最重要呢?干净、友好、卫生。

When studying or working, people, especially youngsters, constantly need to rent a room with others, from your experience, which quality do you think is the most important when choosing a roommate?

---cleanness

---friendliness

---quietness

参考答案:此处郝新宇老师选择的是干净,并分析了如果室友不爱卫生情况会是怎样恶劣,从而得出干净最重要这条结论。

Sample response:

In my view, when choosing a roommate, I attach great importance to cleanness, because I like to be clean and a clean environment makes me feel relaxed and cozy. If my roommateis lazy and careless about cleanness, then in my room there may be grease on the desk, rubbish and hairs on the ground, smelly smells in the room and so on, which will be uncomfortable for me. However, if my roommate pays much attention to cleanness, he and me may clean the room once a day, do chores in time, then the room will be very tidy and comfortable to live in. That’s my choice. Thanks.

以下是一些托福口语话题相关的词汇和词组,大家可以记下并组织属于自己的答案。

attach great importance to 认为……有重要意义

relaxed 放松的

cozy 舒适的

grease 油渍

smelly 有臭味的,发臭的

pay attention to 注意

do chores 做家务

tidy 整洁的

托福口语高频话题解析:教育孩子的方式

托福口语题目:一些人喜欢表扬孩子做得好的地方,另一些人更喜欢孩子做错了事给予惩罚,哪种教育方式在你看来更合适,为什么?请在你的回答中给出解释。

Some people prefer to praise the good things children have done; some people prefer to punish the bad things kids have done, which choice do you think is more appropriate and why? Give your explanations in your response.

参考答案:郝新宇老师更支持通过表扬的方式教育孩子,认为正向的鼓励更有助于增强孩子日后继续做出好的表现,而批评则可能导致孩子变得驯服和羞怯,对日后的成长都是不利的。

Sample response:

In my view, I think compliment is the best choice.

Compliment will make children feel motivated and they might be more likely to repeat the good things they have done. After listening the praise from parents, seeing the smiles from teachers, getting the recognition from others, children will feel a sense of achievement and happiness, they will know their deeds are beneficial to others and next time they will also do good things to others, such as picking up the rubbish on the road or respecting the elderly and so on. However, if always getting punishment or criticism from others, children might become timid and diffident, which is harmful to their growth.

以下是一些与这道托福口语话题相关的词汇和词组,为便于大家记忆,小编整理于此。

Compliment 称赞(praise同义词)

recognition 认可

feel a sense of ... 感到,后接n.

beneficial 有益的

criticism 批评

timid 胆小的;羞怯的

diffident 缺乏自信的;

篇4:托福独立口语常见错误有哪些

托福独立口语常见错误有哪些

一.答题语速过快

流利其实是托福口语评分标准之一,但是发现有很多同学对流利的理解就是语速快,其实这完全是两码事。

语速过快往往会直接导致吐字不清,并且还很容易让考官听不懂,而且如果你的语言功底本身就不好的话,那么你在很快的语速下我会出现更多的语法和发音上的错误,这是会减分的。

那什么是流利?只有适中的语速,加上合适的语气停顿,并且还能够在规定时间内说完整要说的全部要点。如果你现在还达不到这么完美的程度的话,那么请你先让保证自己吐字清楚!因为clear也是托福口语的评分标准之一哦!

二.答题方向跑偏

其实答题方向是不能偏对于不同的题的,我们是完全可以套用同一个论点的,但是必须要确保接下来论证的方向不能跑偏,考生一定要确保正确的答题方向!

举个例子感受下,比如“请描述下你最喜欢的课外活动”和一个“请描述下你认为对你最有意义的课外活动”:这两个题,我们其实都是可以套用常用的一个志愿活动的段子“教低年级的学生读课文”,这个点是好的,但是往下展开的时候大家就要注意了。

如果你说的是“因为在读书的过程中,他们可以还会学会很多字词,增长知识”那小站君觉得这一点往往更适合于阐述“这个课外活动的重要性”,而且“通过教学生们课文,他们还学到了新知识,这带给了我sense of achievement”那这一点其实更适合于阐述“我为什么喜欢做课外活动”。所以,同一个事情,它所展开的方向必须要不同,这样往往会适用于不同的题!

托福口语提分:如何从Chinglish的字正腔圆过渡到流畅自然

1、清晰流畅:必须尽量做到使自己的语言流畅、清晰、易懂,要以较流畅的语速表述自己的观点。

2、发音标准:这点对你拿高分,有很重大的意义。如果保留了很浓重的中文方言口音的话,23分或者以上基本是无缘了。

3、自然停顿:停顿也很重要,不能深吸一大口,一次性说话。不能语速很慢,故意拖时间。

4、自然语调:说话带有感情,重音和弱读都得体现出来。

口语确实是听说读写里面最直接体现英文水平的一个环节,也是最容易露怯的一个环节。

说了这么多!到底制约口语提高的因素有哪些呢?

主要还是时间、环境、方法以及一点点的天赋。

时间投入肯定是最重要的!没有足够量的时间投入,量变无法引发质变。永远都是废的。所以课上学到的知识点,如果没有通过课后自己主观的去反复练习,根本没办法正真的吸收,到时候还是还回来了。这个道理大家肯定都懂。

其次是环境因素,在外国待很久或者是国际学校的学生肯定会对说英文或者听英文觉得很正常,反而中文会比较蹩脚。我之前教过一个世外的小学生,属于羞于开口型的,但是去美国读书之后,整个人性格都变得比较开朗,英文也很地道,这就是受环境影响的一个很大的因素,进步非常明显。

然后是练习方法,我们今天要讲到的方式就是长期提升语言能力的方法。还有就是短线,主要是应付托福这种标化考试的技巧性的方法。不管怎样,长线的练习是必不可少的。毕竟语言能力好的人可以不依赖方法,直接碾压考试。但是语言能力差的人,就算借助最好的方法论,也是于事无补的。

说到方法,有一个很好的方法就是模仿,说到模仿,我们首先得认清中英文的不同。中文是颗粒感非常足的语音,中文讲究enunciation,也就是逐字逐句的发音都要特别清楚。正统而言,我们非常标准的普通话,播音腔,就得字字精准,不容得任何连音或者嘴瓢的现象出现。但是英文语音,存在大量的连音和省音。听上去是非常顺滑,并且变化多端的。很多学生总是想去模仿,但是经常模仿失败,产生气馁的心情。你应该怎么做呢?就是重复!

有同学喜欢看美剧,但是他们看美剧的方法特别的娱乐性,没有灵魂,没有教育意义。我自己看美剧的一个方法可以说是疯狂复读法,精分演绎法,注意这里不是说普通的复读,是一定要演出来,作为一个戏精,带入自己做作的感情,开始的时候你可能觉得自己太剑走偏锋了,但是复读到了一定的程度之后,你可能就会找到一个平衡点,一切都会自然很多。

先把每句话念顺,或者退一步,每个词念顺,或者再退一步,每个字都认清念顺。然后仔细听,哪个音还在,哪个音省略了,哪个音变弱读了。

?初期纠正音素阶段的复读就是在给它浇水,让它长成小树苗。

?之后摸索连音省音阶段的复读就像是等待小树苗慢慢成熟,漫长而痛苦,自己很难感受到快速进步的喜悦,反倒更多的是不断重复的疲乏,困于瓶颈的束缚。

?进入进阶阶段,连音省音趋于自然,注意力会转移到语音语调的形成。讲话开始追求母语者那种随性的自然感,这也是从细节到整体的提高的一个转变。

?这个阶段下来口语的大树基本就形成了。后面的重心又重新从回归细节,为大树添枝加叶。

Shadowing和Repetition的关系不是两者必选其一啊,很多人会问:“Shadowing好还是简单的Repetitive imitation好呢?”It doesn’t have to be the one or the other!小孩才做选择,我全都要!

Shadowing不能一蹴而就,必须是进阶技巧,前提是整段文字的意思和感情你都基本掌握了。可能Shadowing对新手不友好,比较适合进阶难度的英文学习者。对话情绪和所有单词你必须得非常熟悉才有可能在短时间内反应过来并开始跟读。我建议找到适合自己水平的美剧,适合自己兴趣的美剧(兴趣非常重要,决定你是不是能够持之以恒做下去),关闭字幕,注意力集中在听觉上。视觉锁定在说话者的面部表情和嘴部动作上。

为什么呢?因为中文发音大都依靠口舌即可,而英文发音有很多音素需要面部运动,很多小细节很多小不同,都值得我们反复推敲。

最后,虽然我是托福口语老师。而托福是一门目的性很强的标化考试,但是我并不希望各位同学们在备考的过程中保有很明显的功利性,给自己巨大的压力。语言学习本身可以是非常纯粹的自我精进,而不是以通过任何一个考试为唯一目的的。一旦你的功利心过高,就会设定一些盲目的,不切实际的目标,抱有不切实际的期许。

托福口语评分标准解读--说得越快分越高?

因为只有当我们知道了分数的计算的时候,才能更好的了解这背后的意义,才能更好的帮助我们有针对性的提升成绩。

其实,口语的每个回答的分数会有以下5种可能:

Good 4分

Fair 3分

Limited 2分

Weak 1分

No response/ Irrelevant to the topic 0分

由此可见,每道题目的满分实际上是4分。那么这样的得分又是怎样变成0-30分的呢?

其实这是ETS(托福出题机构)运用了自己的一种计算方式:首先6道题的分数相加并除以6,这样就得到了一个初始分数(Raw Score)。然后再把个初始分数兑换成0-30的分数(Scaled Score)。

首先,托福口语给人的第一感觉就是很难啊:有些时候没有思路,碰到题就觉得15秒钟的准备时间实在是太短了,根本想不出来思路;再有的时候就是语言组织和表达的问题,很多想说的话,但无法用英语流利顺畅地表达出来。

但实际上,达到托福口语满分或者高分,真的需要我们思维无比敏捷,真的需要我们在语言的储备上做到像Native Speakers那样吗?我们接下来就通过两个托福口语的Sample Responses(范例回答)来解释这个问题吧。

题目:

Do you prefer experienced teachers or taught by teachers with no experiences?

在听完了这两个范例回答之后,各位的第一反应是什么?会觉得都还不错?还是会觉得略有差异呢?

如果我现在让你给这两个回答用托福的方式(1)(2)(3)(4)来打分呢?(1分为最低,4分为最高满分)

答案是:这两个回答都是满分的回答。

这也许会让屏幕前的你感到困惑,你也许会说:第一个回答明显语速较慢,用词或者句式也过于简单啊。没错,但即使这样,也仍然不妨碍这是一个满分的回答。接下来我给大家分析一下这里面的道理。

首先,这两个回答都展现出了说话者优秀的口语水平。

虽然第二个回答当中有一些相对高级的词汇,或者是专业的名词;同时语速也比第一个要快很多,内容也更多,但是大家要知道托福考试归根结底考的还是语言。她并不是考察我们对某一个专业知识是否充分了解,也不是在考察我们对某一个事物是否有过背景的了解和学习,更不是我们是否能把英语说的无比的高大上。

ETS(托福出题机构)关于托福口语的研究报告已经明确指出:托福口语的独立回答题(第1题和第2题)其实是在考察一个能力,它是在模仿北美上课的时候,学生是否具备回答老师提问的能力。所以只要这个同学在考试的时候展现出了他足以用英语来回答老师提问的能力,这实际上就已经完全足够了。

所以,我们回过头来再听一下第一个回答,虽然这个回答你会觉得思路上非常的简单;语言表达上也没什么难点,甚至你可能觉得这就是小学生的英语水平。但是你恰恰忽略的一点就是这两个回答在英语的实力上,其实是旗鼓相当的。因为他们都能够选择出准确的用词来表达自己的想法,同时也都能够流利地给出句式和句型。

所以在这种情况之下,这两个回答就都是满分。这也印证了官方给出的关于托福口语高分的唯一标准:

“communicate ideas effectively”

—TOEFL Official Guide (5th Edition) page 1

基于这样的评分标准之上,我所给出的建议就是:我们在考试的时候或者我们在答题的时候并不一定追求用英语专业的,复杂的,无缝的,快速的表达自己的想法;而是应该追求用英语把简单的想法表达清楚,表达明白。其实这样就可以了。还是那句话,因为这个考试考察的是你的语言能力,而不是你对某一个事物是否有着很深刻的见解。

今天,只是一个系列的开篇。我们之后会通过更多的文章更具体地帮助你了解托福,战胜托福。换句话说,来具体分析究竟何为“communicate ideas effectively”以及如何能够做到“communicate ideas effectively”。

最后,来总结一下:我承认得到托福口语高分的方法有很多种。但是,准确的把握考试评分标准并能够高效的帮助同学们取得理想的成绩,在教学的过程中让大家只做那些有意义的事从而减少学生的学习时长,才是我始终坚持的教学理念。

篇5:托福作文常见错误

托福作文常见错误

1.结构不平行 例:I was able to raise my TOEFL score by studying hard and I read lots of books. 当使用连词将一系列的单词联接起来的时候,应当使用词性相同或同一类型的短语。

2.不知所云 例:Many companies began using computers mouth.

3.段落过长,不分段 主语与动词一致问题 She are a good friend of mine that I has known for a long time. 主语和动词在数方面不一致。

4.句子别扭 We heated the soup in the microwave for too long and the shape of the container changed. 措辞过长或不清。换言之,句子显得滑稽可笑。

5.不要使用缩写 在正式的.写作中不要使用缩写形式(can’t, don't,it's, we'll, they've等等) ,而应当使用单词的完整形式 (cannot, do not,it is,we will,they have等等)。

6.关联词语重复 Since I want to go to a good school, therefore I am trying to raise my test scores. 不能在该句的主要主语和主要动词前使用连词。

7.句子不完整 Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college. For example, my friend in high school. 句子没有主要主语或主要动词,因为其实它应是一个从句。这是一个非常常见的错误,修改的方法是将两个句子连接起来。

8.不要使用get When I got home, I got tired, so I got a book and got into bed. Get太不正式,意思也过于含糊,不适合用在正式的场合。应将get改为一个更加具体的单词,如become, receive, find, achieve,等等。

9.书写难以辨认 信息不正确 I would like to study in America because all modern technology originated there. 传的信息不正确,或者让人听起来觉得可能不正确(如果确实是正确的,应当解释为什么这样,因为读者不认为是正确的)。上述例句中,all的意思是百分之百;我们不能绝对地说每一件新东西都是从美国诞生的。为保险起见,应当使用many或most。 非英语单词Computers are very helpful and advantageable. 尽管看起来象个单词,其实不是,至少不是个英文单词。使用这个单词的另一种形式。

10.介词多余

I would like to discuss about something important that you mentioned about to me during yesterday. We went to downtown yesterday to buy a watch. When I first came to the US, I did not have a lot of friends in here.

In class, my classmate never mentioned about her husband. 在表示这种意思时此单词不能与介词连用。这种情况常见于downtown,home,there,here等词。这些词语在英语中是副词而非名词,因而不能在它们前面添加介词。

篇6:托福写作常见错误

一.句子成分缺失

句子不完整这个错误是由于很多同学缺乏common sense, 不知道啥叫一个句子的完整,为啥自己写的就不完整。什么样的句子是完整的?一个主语+一个谓语已经可以构成最简单的完整句子。

举个最简单的例子

“我愿意”=“I do”

这个“I do”就已经是一个简单完整的句子了。缺主语,或缺谓语,不能构成一个完整的句子。

a.缺谓语

例如:The society develops rapidly.The society是主语,develops是谓语,此时这个句子 就是完整的。

常见的错误写法:The society developing rapidly.此时这个句子是缺谓语的。

我们需要改写成:The society develops rapidly.或The society is developing rapidly.

b.出现两个或两个以上主谓结构

一个句子有且只能有一个主谓结构。“我干,他不干”这句话正确的表达方法是:I do, but he does not.或: I do. He does not.然而常见的错误形式是:I do, he does not.此时这句话出现了两个主语:I, he.那么这句话肯定就是错误,我们需要用连接词but隔开,或直接句号后另起一句话。

我们举一个难一点的例子:Some people agree with the first statement, I disagree with it.这种错误的表达常见于同学们的写作第一段。这句话出现了两个主语:Some people; I.出现了两个谓语:agree; disagree.按照我们刚才已经讲过的,一句话不能出现两个主语判断,这句话是有问题的。

正确的写法是:

Some people agree with the first statement. However, I disagree with it.

或:Some people agree with the first statement, but I disagree with it.

二.主谓不一致

这是同学们最容易犯的错误,常见指数5颗星!

在中文的动词形式中,不管是:你,我,他、她、它,动词形式都一样。

然而在英文中,你我、TA的动词形式不同。

I do; you do; she does; he does; it does.

例如:

a. Intelligence leads to success.

常见错误写法:

Intelligence lead to success.

b. The professor provides great opportunities for students to expand their horizons.

常见错误写法:

The professor provide great opportunities for students….

三.平行结构

我们常用逗号,或连接词如:and,not only…but also…来连接两边平行的一些单词或句子。此时逗号及连接词左右两边连接的内容,需要形式平行,如名词和名词平行,形容词与形容词平行,动词与动词平行。

例如:

a. Expensive handmade items are creative and artistic.

此处,creative和artistic都是形容词,是正确的平行结构。

b. Working out and taking a rest are the best ways to maintain health.

此处working out和taking a rest是动名词做主语,形式一致,是正确的平行结构。

而同学们常犯的错误是:

working out and take a rest… 此处结构就出现了错误。

c. The media gives us information and tells us the truth.

此处gives, tells结构一致,保持平行。

常见错误写法:

the media gives us information and telling us the truth.

托福写作模板及参考答案:

篇7:托福写作常见错误

Many schools are planning to postpone the first class in the morning for less lateness and better educating quality. However, the schedule of late classes will cultivate students’ indolence, and pose many other negative effects. As a result, starting class late would not effectively reduce the rate of lateness and cannot secure the educating efficacy.

Firstly, early classes in the morning will force the students to keep a disciplined life style. In order to attend the first class, students have to get up early in the morning. This habit brings many benefits. For example, young people will live a much healthier life. Keeping the schedule in mind, they would no longer dally at night before sleep, and save their time in the morning. Then, they can have a good rest in the evening and keep themselves energetic at daytime. Besides, they could also shape many of their excellent characteristics, like self-discipline or persistence. Leaving the cozy bed requires a powerful willpower when we start a new day, and doing this every day asks for a strong self-control. Both of these virtues are keys to success. And one of the well-known, Kobe Bryant, is a beneficiary of starting his day early in the morning. He once gave his secret to become the MVP in the basketball playground. It was his getting up early in the 4 AM that contributes him. In conclusion, both physical and psychological benefits can be gained by the disciplined life style led by the early classes.

In addition, early start in the morning also leaves more extracurricular time for students. Earlier starting class generally results in earlier off-class. More spare time after class enables students to conduct other activities, such as further exploring in study, deepening their interests or doing some other activities. Those activities would help students to improve themselves. In spare time, students can do some practical experiments to apply knowledge into practice, which allow them to have in-depth understanding in knowledge learnt in class. Students would be also capable of learning instrument, painting or doing sports with abundant of time after class. Those extracurricular activities help students to achieve complete development. Obviously, earlier start in the morning means a longer day, providing more spare time for students to enrich their life and promote themselves in learning.

Late classes, to a degree, may lower the absence rate at the beginning. This is because that students do not need to be hurry in the morning, especially for those who cannot get up early. In the long run, however, the original purpose cannot be realized effectively. The allowance of starting class later would indulge the bad habits of procrastination. Some students will tend to put off all tasks late at night, if they do not need to get up early. Staying up later would in turn make students get up later. This is a vicious circle. As a result, students’ biological clock will be re-adjusted, making it harder for them to get up on time. Therefore, the absence rate would be decreased again.

In summary, compared to making classes late in the morning, starting the day early would bring many benefits in learning. Students would be able to maintain a healthy life physically and mentally, and to explore in study, all of which contribute to a higher quality of learning.

范文参考二:

In the contemporary society, the length of study time on the part of students has become one of the most hottly debated issue among the general public. When it comes to whether students should be required to arrive school at the early time in the morning, people’s notions may vary from one to another. In my eyes, starting school day at a late time is a better choice for the following reasons.

To begin with, arriving school at the late time will ensure students have a good rest and thus contributes to the improvement of their study efficiency. As is common sense, the increasingly heavy study burden on the shoulder of students has squeezed their leisure time so much that their sleeping time cannot be guaranteed. As a result, with the implementation of starting school day in a late time, the quality of their rest will be improved, with the consequence that their attention will be more concentrated in class. On the contrary, shortening their rest time by requesting students begin class early will definitely produce a negative effect on their study. To be specific, it will be common to observe that students feel so sleepy as to have a short nap during the class.

In addition, students who start school day in a late time will obviously avoid being stuck in traffic jam and thus have a better mood in the morning. Undoubtedly, under the drive of a cheerful frame of mind, children will raise their efficiency of study to a large extent. The experience of my cousin, Tom, can serve as a good example to shed some lights on the above reasoning. Tom, a student in a middle school of Beijing, used to be required to arrive school at 8 a.m. every morning in order to prepare better for the National Examination of College Admission. However, the problem is that according to the regulations of most companies, employees also have to start work at 8 a.m. Therefore, it is not hard to imagine that the subways, buses and taxis are crowded with people in the morning. According to Tom’s recounting, no one will feel good after such a experience, let alone immediately devoting him/herself to study.

Taking what has been discussed into consideration, we can draw the conclusion that it is wise to require student to arrive school at a late time in the morining, in order to ensure the quality of their rest and develop a light heart.

范文参考三:

Have you experienced struggling with your pillow every morning? Have you ever choked with the traffic jams in the rush hour? Have you ever felt sleepy in the first class? No matter what scientific evidence shows us the advantages of having class early, there is a new research from Mark Fischettiof Scientific America convince us that students' efficiency can be improved by going to school later. I totally agree with the statement for it’s beneficial for both of students and teachers.

First, students' efficiency can be elevated. Under the excessive burden, students always stay up late and that’s why their sleep time has been shrunk. If they are forced to get up early, their whole day will be windy. Thus, students would waste the most substantial content of study, nevertheless, students would be more fresh and have concentrations on the class. According to Kyla Wahlstrom, director of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota. She made a research in Minnesota February that tracked 9000 students in eight public high schools in Minnesota, Colorado and Wyoming. After one semester, when school began at 8:35 a.m. or later, grades earned in math, English, science and social studies typically rose a quarter step—for example, up halfway from B to B+. This conclusion perfectly convinces everyone that students should get up later.

Second, we should follow students' biological system. Adolescents' physiology has greatly altered from their childhood because of melatonin. The later the delay, the greater the payoff.Following their biological change can make them healthy and wealthy. Take me as an example, as a teacher, most of my students would like to finish their homework and chat with friend until the mid night. They can't control their biological clock, which makes they fell very sleepy in the first class. Moreover the rate of being on duty is lower compared with other time periods.

Third, traffic problems can be released. One should know that big cities have the traffic jams all the time, which makes students choked with the road and can’t get rid of it. Moreover, students who live far away from the school are hurry to get catch up with the early classes. If schools postpone their time to be later, it will help them stagger the rush time of traffic. Nevertheless, students would start their study restlessly, which influences their mood not mention to the study efficiency. A study in from California public schools shows that students can avoid transportation problems by changing their class time. What’ more, their literature and math scores are higher on the average.

To conclude, getting up early and attend class are good for both of students and teachers. I suggest that school should postpone their class time and improve students’ efficiency.

素材补充(选自:果壳网):(Mark Fischetti/文,IvyP/译)我们都有过早上起来与被窝作斗争,最后不得不睡眼惺忪地去上学的经历。这种现象可不是中国特有的——大洋对岸的美国家长、学生还有老师们也时常争论,中学的上课时间是不是太早了。而在过去的3年间有越来越多的研究表明,推迟上课时间有助提高学习的效果,并且上课时间越晚越好。

生物学研究显示,人在幼童时期倾向于早睡早起;而当人步入青少年时期后,昼夜节律会发生改变,导致青少年睡得更晚,起得也更晚。这种改变是由大脑内褪黑素的变化引起的,这一过程大约开始于13岁,在15到16岁明显增强,而在17到19岁时达到高峰。

那么这个现象会对学习效果产生影响吗?根据明尼苏达大学应用研究与教育改进中心主任凯拉·瓦尔斯特隆今年2月发表的论文,答案是肯定的。她跟踪调查了在明尼苏达州、科罗拉多州和怀俄明州的8所公立中学里就读的9000多名学生。结果发现,如果上课时间调整到早上8:35或者更晚,一个学期之后,学生们的数学、英语、科学和社会学成绩普遍提高了1/4个等级,例如从B提高到了B与B+的中间位置。

另有两篇由瓦尔斯特隆评议但还未发表的研究论文也获得了相似的结论。在美国空军学院进行的一项对照实验也验证了这一结论,因为在大学一年级时不同组的学员开始上课的时间不同。此外,一项研究显示,由于交通问题导致北卡罗来纳州不同地区的学校上课时间不同,结果上课时间较晚的学校,学生的数学和阅读成绩较高。还有其它研究表明,推迟上课时间可以提高出勤率,以及减少青少年抑郁和交通事故的发生率。这些都因为晚点上课可以让青少年获得更充足的睡眠。

多项研究表明,与把上课时间从早上7:15调到7:45的学校相比,上课时间从7:30改为8:00的学校里的学生的学习成绩有更大幅度的提高。来自巴西、意大利和以色列的研究也获得了相似的结论。之所以上课时间推迟会获得这些好处,其关键是青少年保证了至少8个小时的充足睡眠,而如果能达到9小时就更好了。相比之下,在欧洲,很少有中学会在上午9点以前开始上课。

不支持推迟上课时间的人们曾担心这样会影响学生的正常作息。不过结果表明,学生们在进行课余活动或是兼职工作时,并没有受到上课时间改变的影响。研究结果甚至对校车接送问题也提供了更好的解决办法。许多学校都是先接中学生上学,然后再接小学生,而将这一顺序调换可以让高中生们的上学时间推迟。这样做除了可以让他们受益之外,对他们的弟弟妹妹们也有好处——有研究表明幼儿在早晨更清醒,更愿意学习。

托福考试作文独立写作范文:视频游戏的好坏

Some people believe that video games could inspire young students' interest and make their study more efficient rather than distracting them and a waste of time, so young students should be allowed to play video games.

范文参考:

Many parents with young children fret about the addictiveness of computer games these days. While the negative effects ranging from addiction, increased aggression and various health consequences such as strain injuries get far more media coverage than the positives, there is now a wealth of research which shows that video games can actually be put into educational use and affect the brain's development

Firstly, games that are designed to help teach and “brain training” have long and enormous popular appeal. According to an experiment conducted by the University of California, game players show improved performance in perception, attention and cognition. One of the redeeming qualities of all games, even those with violent content, is enhanced information-processing, logic-thinking and problem-solving abilities in novel contexts. In fact, while playing game, your brain is in the learning mode constantly, to move to the next level, you are vigorously improving your hand-eye coordination, enhancing split-second decision making and boosting auditory perception. Moreover, other carefully-designed studies have shown that video games improve several aspects of brain activity, including multitasking. Considering Pac-Man as an example, in that game, you must navigate your character through a spatial layout while monitoring the separate paths of four additional objects, while keeping the overall goal of clearing the small pellets in memory, as well as keep track of the remaining large pellets.

Secondly, games that convey positive social messages never fail to boost the children's confidence, encourage cooperation and teamwork. Games help children feel a sense of achievement, through those puzzles, exploration and discovery, players learn to succeed in ways that our brains actually prefer. Most games are designed to introduce a new concept and then provide players with an opportunity to master it. Children are then free to explore and utilize and achieve success with this new skill, growing in confidence all the while. Besides, many games today emphasize the cooperative aspects of game play, in which two or more players need to work together to reach a common goal. Taking a game called “World of Warcraft” as an example, children as young as 10 years old are learning to delegate responsibility, promote teamwork and steer groups of people toward a common goal. As video games themselves are not created by just one person, it is essential for the game players to pool everyone's talents together in order to require the desired product.

Admittedly, it is worth to consider the real concerns that today's parents have with video games, but it is also worthwhile to consider the benefits and positive aspects that contemporary interactive entertainment choices provide. Digital media such as computer games could inspire young children's interest, grow their intelligence and offer them a chance to escape from the mounting academic stress, as long as coupled with strong parental and teacher involvement.

From all the discussions mentioned above, we may safely draw the conclusion that today's young students should be allowed to play computer games for the tremendous benefits they bring.

篇8:托福口语口音训练方法介绍

托福口语口音训练方法介绍 这么训练让你拥有地道美式发音

美式发音没有标准重在接近发音习惯

我们学习英语作为我们第二甚至是第三语言(second language),而作为second language learner我们很难说出绝对纯正的美语,我们只能说无限度地接近纯正,从而让考官听起来比较舒服,更愿意听你的回答。其实可以反过来想,我们在听外国人说中文的时候越接近我们发音习惯的我们越觉得舒服,也会因此惊讶于他们的地道发音。同理,当考官听到你的回答十分接近他们的说话习惯的时候,他也会更加佩服你的能力。要想拥有比较纯正的美式发音,很多同学会考虑与美国人交流,但事实是我们身边的资源是有限的,去找一个美国人天天练对绝大多数考生来说是不现实的。所以最直接的方法是从模仿开始,从我们身边最方便的资源下手。

看美剧练口语发音思路分析

很多同学标榜自己天天看美剧学英语,但看的效果是什么呢?要知道,一部美剧,如果你没有每一集看三遍以上是根本没有效果的。第一遍其实所有人都是在看热闹,当你激情澎湃地看完一集之后你记住的只有剧情。第二遍之后你对剧情有了了解,所以你会知道下一秒会发生什么,所以你的注意力渐渐地转移到了对白上。再看第三遍的时候你已经知道了剧情知道了对白,所以你会专注在每一句的英语表达上。你会发现原来这个中文意思是这样用英语表达的。你的任务是熟知这些表达并有目的地开始模仿剧中人的语气、语音语调、连读省略等发音习惯。通过模仿,你会发现,一句简单的“what time is it?”美国人注重的是time的元音发音。像“what is it”这三个单词没有发准是不会导致浓重的中国味道的。而如果你的time元音没有发准,中国味就出来了。美音中的元音发得饱满夸张是美音极大的特色,也是区别美音和中式英语的一大要素。只有不断地模仿,夸张练习,才能养成习惯。但考生们要注意的是,我们的目的是练习日常口语,所以要尽量优先搜索一些与现实比较贴合的经典美剧,比如经典美剧、托福之友Friends,托福界新晋小生The Big Bang Theory。而很多颇受欢迎的美剧如The Vampire Diaries、Two Broke girls、The Walking Dead等与我们生活相差太远,里面大量的内容和对白我们根本用不到,建议考生先以学习为主,这些美剧可以有时间再看。

托福口语部分TASK3和5对话是现成模仿素材

就单纯练日常口语的发音来说,TPO其实比美剧更有效,因为口语考试的T3和T5完全是校园场景,与我们的生活更接近,与考试也更加对口。而美剧的题材差异太大,与我们生活或考试直接相关的内容不太容易找到。同学们在跟读TPO之前要至少听三遍以上,把每一句话弄懂,了解了这句话想要表达的意思之后再进行模仿,否则不知意思的盲目模仿是徒劳的。在此基础之上,考生们要建立自己的口语常用表达库,归类整理出美语常用的日常表达并熟读熟背,你的口语会有质的飞跃。

托福口语发音模仿原则介绍

首先大声模仿是重中之重,这一点很重要,模仿时要大大方方,清清楚楚,一板一眼,口型要到位,不能扭扭捏捏、小声小气地在嗓子眼里嘟嚷。只有大声说出来你才能听到自己的声音,像不像、美不美(American),才能有个评断。另一重要原则是长期坚持模仿。优美的语音、语调不是短期模仿所能达到的,对于有英国英语基础的人学说美国英语也是如此,对于习惯于说汉语的人学说英语则更是如此。此外,模仿时还要有耐心,有信心,有恒心,不能有任何松劲畏难情绪,要相信自己完全有能力模仿得更好。

总而言之,考生想要把托福口语的发音练得漂亮是个长期曲折的过程,只有不断地练习并不断地应用你的发音习惯才能改过来。当哪一天开始有人赞叹你发音不错的时候,请自豪地告诉他这是应该的。因为你的坚持,你的不懈努力,才有了现在的地道发音。也预祝所有考生们用流利地道的美语征服考官的耳朵,攻下满分的堡垒。

托福口语要达到的7个标准

1. 中心是否切题:

解释:考察考生所表达的口语内容是否完整、准确地回答了题目的要求。考察重点在于考生是否能够准确理解题意和准确迎合题意两个层次。

2. 意思是否明白:

解释:考察考生所表达的口语内容是否能够被明白地理解,还是表面上很流利,而实际上语义含糊、不知所云。

3. 结构是否严密:

解释:考察考生是否有能力将口语用严密的结构和逻辑表达出来,还是缺乏层次,信马由缰。

4. 表达是否连贯:

解释:考察考生口语的语流是否有停顿,这包括思维停顿和表达停顿两方面的原因或表现。但此标准并未对考生的口语表达速度作硬性的要求。

5. 发音是否清楚:

解释:考察考生的发音是否能够做到纯正、清晰。起码理解起来并不因为口音的问题存在障碍。

6. 语法是否正确:

解释:考察考生是否能够熟练的使用较复杂的句子结构表达思想,同时尽量避免错误。

7. 词汇是否熟练:

解释:考察考生是否可以掌握足够的英语词汇进行表达,考察重点在熟练度和准确度两个方面。但此标准并未对考生的用词难度作硬性的要求。

托福口语考试技巧:自信必胜法

以前只关注读写听的考生不得不花时间和精力来准备口语部分。据调查统计,考生各部分的成绩排列从阅读、听力、写作到口语依次降低,口语的分数在各部分中通常是最低的。这个现象在考生中引起的巨大的恐慌。另一种状况是,即便是平时自认为口语能力不错,听力能力也很好的同学,也会对自己最后较低的口语成绩感到不解。于是口语部分的考核就变得更加令人琢磨不透了。Ets 对口语部分的评判标准定得也相对模糊,从某种意义说,不能提供给考生清晰的指导。这样一来,口语能力差的同学怕考试,口语能力好的同学也对之没有太大信心,口语部分的考核似乎成了考生们的“鬼门关”。

笔者在执教托福口语课程的过程中发现,目前大多数考生对“口语好”的定义似乎都是“说得相对流利,发音比较准确,语速不会太慢”。这无可厚非。然而,刚才提到的准则仅仅只是“口语好”的外包装,大家需要关注的更重要的是说话的“实效性”,即思维逻辑,语言组织和词句质量。

我觉得没有必要过多提醒大家关于语言“外包装”的问题,因为这绝对是大家注重的方面,所以在口语强化班里的同学基本都有练习过或是系统学习过发音,这很叫人欣慰。可是,大家一定要注意,ibt的口语是电脑录音,评判者是通过听录音来做分数评估的,所以,“说得快”未必是件好事,说得清楚才是重点。考虑到评卷者的“听觉疲劳”,说话的“断句”和重点词汇在重音和语调上的突出,则是有效传达信息的关键。所以同学们不要一味求快,而要注意断句,语调和重音。

看看下面的例子: The Great Wall was the greatest man-made military defense structure in ancient China.

这是一个在口语表述当中很上档次的句子,但如果大家一口气读完的话,这个句子的美感就体现不出来了,而且在录音的情况下很可能还会让评卷者无法听清楚。于是我们需要借助短句和重音来表达,下面我用/作为断句的标志,用〉来点明重音,于是我们可以这样来处理这个句子:

The Great Wall〉/was the greatest /man-made military defense structure〉/in ancient China.

大家可以试着读一读这个句子。断句并可以是稍稍停顿,或者是拉长词的读音,我们在wall 的时候拉长读音,在greatest和structure后稍作停顿,于是这个句子听起来就更加容易理解,因为我们把句子的意群The Great Wall、was the greatest、man-made military defense structure、in ancient China划开了。补充一点,这样的口语听来更上档次。所以在这里,笔者想提醒大家是,为了使表达效果更好,是语言听起来更加悦耳,我们不但要注意发音,还要注意说话时的断句和重音。

这是语言的外包装,但做好了这一切是绝对不够的。正如每个人在打开美丽的包装盒时所期待的是盒子里面更加诱人的礼物一样,每个考官在悦耳的声音背后更想想吸纳入耳的绝对是有组织,有意义的词句。所以另一重对语言的要求也接踵而至,即说话的 “实效性”:思维逻辑,语言组织和词句质量。

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 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:

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

Unlike many people, my favorite place for reading is the park. I just like the atmosphere. Reading is tiring, and when I feel tired, I can look up from the book and see people jogging on the path and boating on the lake. Then I feel relaxed. Still, when your eyes feel tired, there are many green trees and lawns to give them a good rest. In the park, you can see many old people taking their beloved birds and dogs for a walk. This gives me inspirations. Indeed, I like to read 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。

第三题和第五题比较类似,都是听对话之后回答相关的问题。听懂对话是成功的一半,而如何不失重点,合理有效的组织答案则是成功的另一半。对于听力好的同学而言,学习组织答案的技巧是关键。如果连声累述而没有重点,或是词不达意缺少亮点,岂不白白浪费了好的听力。对于听力能力欠佳的同学而言,如何把握对话的节奏,关注重要的信息,用说话结构的完整来弥补听力的不足都是重要的技巧。这些都是课堂上讲述的重点,也是备考信心的来源。正所谓

第三题:火眼金睛读材料,熟门熟路记重点。

对话模式心有数,有效信息尽入耳。

第五题:对话结构我知道,信息丢失不重要。

答题要点我抓到,说话结构都知晓。

第四和第六题类似,是通过听一段课堂讲座来答题。生僻词汇,快速语流给同学们造成了听力上的巨大障碍。于是大家首要解决的问题是如何对待听力材料,如何最好的利用听到何读到的信息,如何在合理的答题结构中来隐藏听力的缺失。这样的题目对说话的技巧要求是非常高的,而掌握这些技巧就是考试信心的源泉。正是:

第四题:火眼金睛读材料,熟门熟路记重点。

讲座要点听于耳,答题套路埋于心。

第六题:听懂讲演是重点,记下信息是关键。

巧妙避开不利点,结构完美撑门面。

托福口语考试更注意讲的实际内容

第一,新托福口语考试对学生的要求除了“怎样说”外,更重要的是“说什么”。

这一点充分体现了新托福考试的宗旨:测试考生在真实的校园生活和学术环境中交流的能力。与现行的托福考试相比,新托福考试把运用语言或文字表达个人观点的主观题作为主导,而以往占很大比例的客观题(如选择题、是非题)则很自然地退居到次要地位。

以往那种靠语言知识判断,仅仅选出一个正确答案,或回答 “Yes”或“No”的考试不再复返。这样一来,考生如想通过新托福考试,真正凭借的将不再是“正误选择划勾”(正确几率占25%)的能力,而是自如驾驭语言实现交流的真本事!

具体体现在新托福口语考试中,就是让考生阅读文字信息,听一段课堂演讲或发生在校园里的对话之后,针对内容综合复述,回答问题,实现语言输入和输出的相对关联,从而判断出考生的实际语言应用能力。

新托福口语考试的设计是建立在语言技能综合循环,培养“交际能力”的概念上的。因此,它要求考生进行语言交际训练时,不仅要注重语言的合理口头表达,还要注意口语表达的内容是必须通过听读的输入技能获得并循环于意识中,通过意识加工创造表达出来的。

显然,这类以语言内容为重点的考试要求考生不仅具有一定的语言知识(知道怎样说),同时更重要的是还须具备语言以外的社会、文化、科学等方面的知识 (知道说什么)。新托福口语考试完全模拟真实的校园生活与学术交流环境,话题将会涉及众多领域:社会、文化、科学、历史、宗教等等。因此,它要求考生对于知识的掌握不一定要“很渊”,但一定要“较博”,也即要有内容可讲,要知道“说什么”并且能够说出来。

其实,做到“知道说什么”较容易,但要通过另一种语言(非母语)清楚而准确地表达出来则不是件易事,特别是在没有多少时间去考虑、去组织语言的情况下就更是如此。在托福考试这样较高水平的语言测试中,语言不应只是“Baby Sentences”,而应追求“简洁、准确、流畅”的更高境界。新托福口语考试众多领域的话题为考生拓展了彰显语言能力的空间,而在这广大的空间里考生是否有所作为,当然要靠自己的真本事即扎实的语言功底和较广博的知识面。

因此,既“知道怎样说”(包括应试技巧),更“知道说什么”(实质内容),这样的考生才能适应新托福口语考试的要求,才能在“注重能力、淡化技巧”的新托福口语考试中立于不败之地。小编祝大家都能取得好成绩!

篇9:托福口语每日训练方法介绍

托福口语每日训练方法介绍 只需10分钟就能有效提升口语水平

托福口语备考要充分利用零散时间

托福口语的练习,平常我们可能没有过多集中的时间,这就要求我们要充分将零散的时间利用起来。合理有效地安排时间,并最大效率提高成绩。托福口语的练习要多看多说,只有见了面才能认识的句式和表达法(视觉词汇),激活(activate)和内化(internalize)input。

以10分钟为单位进行录音回放

每次练习的时候,最好用录音把自己练习的这十分钟录下来,并放给自己听,发现自己潜在的问题,例如语音语调、用词念法等等,发现不会表达的词,不用心急着去查,先用自己能想到的单词或语言去描述,在事后再进行查询学习,这是非常凑效的提高自己语言的准确度(即发音+词汇+语法的准确度,accuracy)的方法,因为自己给自己纠错,留意(notice)到了自己的问题,更避免下一次再犯。

口语练习话题从生活中寻找

至于练习的话题,可以从生活中提炼。托福口语的材料有一部分是来源于生活的,考生可以通过对生活的观察,来学习回答各种在考试中会出现的托福口语材料。

10分钟提升口语训练内容多样

十分钟练习提高托福口语的方法也可以是复述一篇TED演讲。托福口语学习花20分钟看一个演讲,可以看中文字幕,再花20分钟看一遍。听的时候顺便做下笔记,然后就着笔记自己思考十分钟,自行总结提炼演讲主旨。还有必不可少的独立题机经,学会渐渐熟悉题目类型、话题内容等,顺水推舟去回答,不要通过刻意背标准答案来强迫自己记住。大家还可以复述新闻,复述电影,复述生活里听到的话,朋友的聊天等等,每天只要10分钟选择其中一种方式进行,日积月累对托福口语能力便会有显著的提高。

Personally, I think I would choose to take a finance class if I could choose one course in my community, because I find it to be very mysterious subject in a way. It's something I don't really understand, unlike, for example, cars. I don't have any idea about finance. I think it is very difficult. I'm also interested in it, because economy has been going up and down these days. And an financial course would probably explain to me at least a littble bit of why that could be. And lastly, I would probably enjoy finance a lot because I really like math, it is probably my favorite subject. So I think learning finance would be another fun class for me to use my mathmetical brain.

篇10:托福口语流畅度训练方法

托福口语练习少写思路多练嘴皮子

时刻记住一句话,要想口语流畅,要的是把嘴说烂,而不是把笔写断。很多考生在备考中常会陷入一个误区,尽可能把思路全部写出来,多多益善。这样做锻炼的是你的手速而不是大脑在短时间组织语言的能力。而考生更需要学会的是只通过写关键词来强迫自己快速组句的能力。
