对于托福口语来说,TASK1-2是属于有着一定可控性的题目。所以,想要提升这这两道的题目的得分,还是相对有些容易,只要控制好全局,不要盲目练习,相信在一段时间后,就能得到一定的提升。首先一段时间,要把自己的练习模式定下来;然后花主要精力去练习自己的表达能力(包括语音语调,用语的地道性,逻辑结构的清晰性等),不然范围划分得再细,练习得再多,甚至考前机经全部押中,最后还是要真功夫,用自己的嘴巴把答案华丽丽地说出来。
可控因素:
1.结构和时间分配:topic sentence(5'')+description(5'')(第二题可以去掉这部分)+main reason(5'')+details or examples or further supporting arguments(15'')+additional reason(5'')+details or examples or further supporting arguments(10'')
Example:
托福口语task2: together with friend
Question:
"When you are together with your friends, which place do you prefer to eat, the restaurant, café or at home? Use specific examples to support your statement."
(当然这道题可以有很多思路去处理;比如对比相互之间的好处和坏处)
Um,if I'm with my friends, we ususally prefer to eat at a cafe called "Magic Boulevard"(topic sentence,作用:identify,表明你已经理解题目,并且给出了选择)
Actually, its name comes from a very famous song" Magic Boulevard",so it sounds very romantic, and I think it's very cool.(description,作用:给考官一个图像化的背景)
Well,the main reason we love that place is that it's never too busy to find a table.Sometimes it can be bustling, but that's usually in the morning during rush hour or at lunchtime, but we often go there during weekends, so it's convenient for us.
In addtion to that,the coffee there is fantastic! I always order a vanilla latte with a double shot of expresso. And if I'm a little bit hungry,I will order a coffee cake to go.
2.适当补白(filler)的加入:um,like,you know,I guess,well...作用:
a.to get started
b.to get time to think of what to say next;
c.to get time to think of reasons;
d.to share knowledge(you know),进一步表达或解释,
用相同意思的词汇或短语把前面有可能抽象的东西具体化,并且避免重复表达。
