托福口语得高分的几个技巧
学习啦在线学习网托福考试当中,如果要说最难的一个考试部分,那么很有可能大部分考生都会选择托福口语考试了。托福口语获得高分也是最困难的,那么托福口语真的就没有办法了吗?小编为大家整理里一些高分技巧,给大家参考,大家一起来看看吧!
托福口语得高分的几个技巧
学习啦在线学习网一、重点提升英文表达能力
学习啦在线学习网托福口语的第一个评分点就是考生作答的语音清楚度和速度节奏。具体来说,包括了考生的发音、语气语调、停顿节奏等。而中国考生往往会陷入两个极端,要么在表达过程中结结巴巴,听上去一点也不流畅,要么像背书一样,机械地死记硬背,刻板生硬。英语是母语的人士是最好的老师,所以大家可以在平时注意听英语广播或者英文电影,多听他们的发音,还要注意看他们的口形。想要提升英语表达能力,必须要通过不断地练习来实现。
二、重视语言组织结构能力
对于绝大多数中国考生来说,面对考官时“无话可说”和“头脑一片空白”是最常见的场景,考生可以从两方面着手改善:
1. 独立口语:托福口语中Task1&2为独立口语,就是两道开放性话题,很多考生都会头脑空空,建议大家不要去背那些万能模板,不但千篇一律,说出的内容也是十分空洞。平时可以多看一些英语名著或杂志,把里面好的素材词句摘抄并背下来,这样考试的时候才会“有话可说”。
2. 综合口语:托福口语中Task3-6是综合口语,要求学生先进行阅读和听力,再根据相关信息作答。大部分考生的作答往往结构混乱,甚至没有围绕主题。针对这个问题,考生可以在平时复述听到的英语,“影子跟读法”能有效地解决这个问题。
学习啦在线学习网三、语言应用能力提高不易
口语评分最后一个点就是语言应用能力,其中包含用词用句以及语法准确度。很多考生在口语表达的时候会不自觉的犯一些低级错误,比如单复数、时态语态、人称变化等。这些问题虽然不会影响意思,但是对考官来说听着会很刺耳。大家可以在平时的口语练习中将自己的口语作答用笔写下来,这样可以发现自己的问题并加以改正,还能看是否能用更加简洁明快的句型,从而提高语言运用的多样性。
托福口语话题素材整理:Place
1. Places of Interest/Attractions= Description:
If I’d had a chance to visit a place I’ve never been to, I would like to go to Imperial Palace, which is also called Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of China.
In the heart of Beijing, it is the largest and most complete imperial palace and ancient building complex in China, and the world at large. Its construction began in 1406 and was completed 14 years later, having a history so far of some 580 years. Twenty-four
emperors from the Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties lived and ruled China from there. Most of the buildings in the Forbidden City were rebuilt many times, although they maintained the original architectural style.
学习啦在线学习网The reasons why I love there so much are based on the following aspects.
学习啦在线学习网First of all, the ancient buildings record the history path to tell us the legends of our ancestors, especially good for our young people to get familiar with our past. Furthermore, they are the symbols of Chinese traditional and rich culture.
学习啦在线学习网Last, they are standing there to make us understand our past; When we are facing the past, what we must do is to absorb the essence and discard the dregs.
2. Restaurants and Café:
学习啦在线学习网If I had to say what features of restaurant and café I cared most, I would consider them from the following three angles.
学习啦在线学习网First of all, the food there must be very delicious and nutritious. I like something pretty from appearance and tasty from inside. It is better to taste it like my mom’s cuisine because it makes me feel I am the happiest in the world. Like hotpot. I feel good when I 6
学习啦在线学习网am having it.
Second, the service there must be very considerate, which means, the waiters and waitresses there must be very nice and patient.
学习啦在线学习网Last, the atmosphere there must be very comfortable. Like the sofa there makes me feel at home and I can sit there for a whole day without tiredness. There better has some light music and quiet surroundings because I usually want to have a nice conversation with my friends.
Those aspects I’ve mentioned above are the standards I care when I choose to go to a restaurant.
3. Favorite Room=description:
学习啦在线学习网My favorite room is my living room. It’s rectangular with the door on the left side of the south wall. In the wall opposite the door is a picture window. Below the window is a sofa. A rectangular coffee table is in front of sofa. Facing the sofa are two armchairs. An
abstract painting is on the west wall. This bright and uncluttered room is my best place to hide from outside world to make me relax, think freely, and live comfortably.

学习啦在线学习网1. Reading books
When I have time, I read books. My favorite book is the Old Man and the Sea which is written by Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest American writers. The book told us a story about an old man called Diego who did fishing in Cuba. Though he came across lots of difficulties on the sea and came back without a single fish, he was optimistic and still held the hope. (Diego) is like a mirror which reflects what (Hemingway) wanted to tell all of us: Never give up and the final success will come right after the last try. I’ve stuck on that wisdom all the time ever since I read this book for that story makes me believe there is no stronger thing ever than a strong human belief.
学习啦在线学习网2. Listening to the music
My favorite music is___, which is sung by___.
The reasons why I love that song are based on the following aspects. First of all, it relaxes my mind.
Second, I always have a greater efficiency after listening to music.
学习啦在线学习网Third, by listening to the music, I can learn something about the rhythm, which teaches me how to balance complicated situation.
学习啦在线学习网Last, enjoying all kinds of music, like rock n roll, punk or classic, I come to visit different world and learn how to appreciate arts.
学习啦在线学习网Music is a worldwide language without any translation, by listening to the music; we can share our emotions with different people around the world.
3. Sports: 理由(雷同音乐)
1. It relaxes my mind.
2. I have a greater efficiency on study after the outdoor activities.
学习啦在线学习网3. Outdoor activities offer me not only more fresh air but also the chance to
学习啦在线学习网embrace the nature.
4. I also meet some new friends when I am doing some activities, like playing
basketball.
学习啦在线学习网4. Spring Festival:
学习啦在线学习网In my country, the most impressive/memorable/popular/favorite/social celebration is Spring Festival, which is also called Chinese Lunar New Year.
On Spring Festival Eve, we Chinese people usually do a thorough cleaning for their houses to clean up all the ill-fortunes may have been in the family and make the way for the incoming good luck. In the evening, family members get together coming back from everywhere, make Jiaozi, dumplings boiled in the water, sit around the table, toast to each other, wish everybody good luck and health. After the feast, usually in the midnight, children will gather around to play fireworks to light up the sky. During the whole night, we usually stay up and make every light in our house on. The next morning, people will greet their relatives and friends usually face to face. When you eat rice glue ball, called yuanxiao in China, it means you come to the end of this great new year celebration.
Spring Festival means the whole world to Chinese people and we all consider it a chance for our family members reunion and gather best wishes for the coming year together.
学习啦在线学习网5. My most embarrassing moment:
学习啦在线学习网The most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me in school was when I was walking along the sidewalk back to school from getting some lunch. My eye caught a beautiful car and I lost sight of where I was going. Next thing I knew, BANG, I walked straight into a pole, hitting my whole head on it. I fell on the ground and my friends just laughed. Even though it was very embarrassing, it made our day 'cause we will never forget it. The days go by; I will still laugh as long as I remember it. But I don’t care about it anymore, sometimes, the embarrassing thing just puts smile on other people’s faces.
6. The most difficult moment:
学习啦在线学习网The most difficult moment that I’ve ever had was when I prepared for the IBT. It became so hard for me since I’d never had a chance to talk in English for quite a long time. I could barely open my mouth; let alone, how to cover the whole test within the time limitation. I was rather upset and almost lost my heart. My friend Tom/Mary saw me one day and he/she inspired me by saying that if I couldn’t overcome that task, how could I survive in the States and make my dream come true. All of a sudden, I realized how small this task would be in the whole process of making my dream come true. And he/she suggested that I should make a well-organized plan to divide my goal into several little parts, which are attractive and attainable. And just like that, for the first time, I thought it was not that hard and I gradually had a faith in conquering this. Day by day, the more I practiced, the more confidence I gained.
学习啦在线学习网7. Ambition:
学习啦在线学习网I have always had a burning ambition to be a psychotherapist. I want to help people solve their emotional problems, recover from mental illnesses, and regain their self-confidence. An increasing number of people, under so much pressure at work, have been deeply depressed in recent years. Therefore, the role of a psychotherapist in keeping our society strong and healthy is getting more and more important. Being a highly self-motivated person, I feel confident about my ability to make my dream come true. As the well-known saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." I believe that I will become an outstanding psychotherapist some day.
学习啦在线学习网8. Chances for the Volunteer for 2008 Olympics Or Shanghai Expo:
学习啦在线学习网IF I’d ever had a chance to do something that I wish for, I would like to be a volunteer for Olympics held in China in 2008. First of all, it is a great honor to be part of this opportunity coming once or never. I can put my English fully into use. Being an interpreter, I can not only provide our foreign people the convenience in life but also let them know more about China. I am not saying that I want to wipe out some cultural barriers with my little effort; I am saying that I want to spare no effort to contribute to this great banquet.
托福口语话题素材整理:Person
Person=Personalities
1. Parents
学习啦在线学习网My mother is the person whom I admire most due to her so many good personalities like talented, tolerant and most of all, her spirit of dedication. First of all, she is such a talented person who not only has great achievements in her work, but also can cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-educated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people. And the most beautiful thing about her is that she has a beautiful mind. Thrifty as she is in the daily life, she saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is. That is why I think my mother is the person I admire most.
2. Teacher (万能人物;可替换的角色有:parent, leader, friend, ideal spouse, celebrity)
A good teacher should have the following personalities. First of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students and she knows which students need extra assistance.
Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional
concepts. What is more, she would show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them. For most students, a good teacher is also a helper who can lift them to new heights. Just like an old saying goes, " GIVE ME A FISH AND I EAT FOR A DAY, TEACH ME TO FISH AND I EAT FOR A LIFE TIME". This must be a philosophy of every good teacher.
3. Friends
学习啦在线学习网A good friend should have the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and
positive. First of all, a trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especially when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble. Secondly, he/she must be someone who can give me some suggestions when I lose my heart. I clearly remember last time I had a bad experience on my job, I was so sad during those period of time and my friend Nana just sat besides me and was such a good listener to support me and inspired me by saying that I deserved a second chance and never pushing myself too hard would be a better choice. After the nice conversation, I happened to realize I overcame those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive. Though we always say “prepare for the worst and hope for the best”, we seldom do it when we face up with the worse situation. At this time, a positive friend has this power to make us believe that it is absolutely right to obey the rule.
In the end, I would like to quote a famous saying by Aristotle to end up my response. “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”
4. Leader
A good leader should have these criteria:
1. Have a vision.
Effective leaders and their organizations have an agenda. A vision. A vision is a direction—an attractive and attainable picture of the future. As a leader, if you don't know where you are going, you are irrelevant to your followers. With a vision you can inspire and lift individuals and groups to new heights—an important function of any leader.
2. Seize opportunity.
Look for experiences that are new and different. Develop relationships with people who are different from the people you ordinarily have relationships with, especially those that come from different backgrounds and age groups.
3. Communication is key.
Be accessible to everyone in the organization. Companies need to realize that the old model of the leaders sitting on top of the pyramid and the managers executing orders does not work in today’s environment. The person at the top cannot be the only leader. There have to be various people within the company acting in this role. There are many companies stuck in a rut where the managers are waiting to be told what to do. That doesn’t work.
4. Be proactive.
学习啦在线学习网Promote continuous exploration of yourself and other leaders within the organization. Be accountable for what you do. If there is an issue in the company, don’t say you didn’t know anything about it. Look at the organization and constantly ask what can be improved.
