托福独立口语备考技巧 篇2

不打无准备之仗

曾被托福口语考试“摧残”的考生都会发出各种感叹：“唉，准备时间太短了，我都还没有想好思路”“答题时间太短，还没说完时间就到了”……其实，这些考生考后反映出的问题可以归纳为一句话：没有在备考时对如何答题做好规划，无法以不变应万变，将自己积累的有限口语素材覆盖无限的口语话题。

考生掌控时间能力的强弱会直接影响到口语成绩的高低。托福口语前两道题的准备时间为15秒，答题时间是45秒。那么，考生如何充分地利用这15秒去构思，并且能在45秒内用很有逻辑的语言将题目要求的内容表达出来呢？这就需要在考试前做好准备工作。凡是托福口语能拿到25分以上的考生都是在考试前对口语话题进行了充分准备的，如果只是临场发挥，考生在紧张的状态下是无法于15秒之内想到尽可能好的用于展开话题的素材。所以，托福口语拿高分的必备条件就是要在考前做充分的话题准备，学会组织口语素材和回答问题的技巧，不可打无准备之仗。

熟悉官方标准，明确备考方向

《新托福考试官方指南》（即俗称的OG）对托福口语的评分标准是有详细说明的。OG上强调的托福口语评分标准包括三个方面：第一是信息的传递（Delivery），第二是语言的使用（Language Use），第三是话题的展开（Topic Development）。下面就这三个方面分别详述。

1. 信息的传递（Delivery）

就信息的传递来说，托福口语考试要求考生清楚地表达自己的观点。有些考生误以为给出的观点符合考官的心思才能拿高分。其实，在托福口语考试中，观点是不分对错的，只要考生能够用准确的语言充分地阐述理由即可。官方给出的关于Delivery的定义和评分标准是：“How clear your speech is. Good responses are those in which the speech is fluid and clear， with good pronunciation， natural pacing， and natural sounding intonation patterns.”也就是说，要想在托福口语中得高分，考生应把握住以下几个关键词：fluid and clear、good pronunciation、natural pacing和natural sounding intonation patterns。Fluid and clear是要求考生在表达观点时清晰流畅，但大家不要以为说得越多、说得越快就一定越好。Good pronunciation就是要求考生发音准确。有关发音，有些考生会问是不是一定要说得像英语母语人士那样才能拿高分。事实上要求并不那么严格，考生只要保证发音基本没有错误，不会让考官产生误会即可。笔者建议考生平时多做模仿练习，例如跟读BBC新闻、学习英美剧中的对话、多听名人演讲等，长期坚持一定会在发音方面有所提高。Natural pacing是要求考生把控语速，语速要适中，同时要充分阐述内容。需要提醒考生的是，托福考试的口语测评方式较特殊，其第一遍是机器计分，第二遍是人工计分。由于第一遍是机器计分，考生需要对语速有很好的把控，语速过快的话机器收录可能会不清楚；而如果考生说得过慢或者有长时间的停顿，机器会默认考生说的内容不全面，所以考生要注意在陈述的过程中绝对不要出现超过两秒以上的停顿。英语母语人士在日常生活中的语速一般是每分钟125～150个单词，而对于不以英语为母语的考生来说每分钟110～120个词就可以了。托福口语的作答时间是45秒，所以笔者建议考生回答90个单词左右。Natural sounding intonation patterns指的是自然的语音语调，这一点需要考生模仿英语母语人士的语音语调。

2. 语言的使用（Language Use）

就语言的使用来说，托福口语考试主要强调考生使用语法与词汇的有效性。官方给出的语言使用的评判标准是：“How effectively you use grammar and vocabulary to convey your ideas. Raters will be listening for how well you can control both basic and more complex language structures and use appropriate vocabulary. ”考生必须把握住effectively、basic and more complex language structures 以及appropriate vocabulary这几个关键词。就语法方面来说，其有效性体现在使用正确的语法，避免犯语法错误。考生在口语中经常犯的语法错误有主谓不一致、时态错误、there be句型和have/has的混用、形容词的比较级和最高级使用不当、非谓语的用法错误等。Basic and complex language structures是考查考生能不能在短时间内熟练、灵活地变换使用简单句、并列句和复杂句等句式，而不是重复使用单一句式。Appropriate vocabulary是要求考生能在相应的语境中用恰当的词汇来表达，考生在考试时不需要堆砌过分复杂的大词，但也不要一味使用过于简单的词或者一些特别口语化的俚语等。

nlc202309091026

3. 话题的展开（Topic Development）

话题的展开主要考查考生能否有理有据地论证自己的观点，官方给出的评分标准为：“How fully you answer the question and how coherently you present your ideas. Good responses generally use all or most of the time allotted， and the relationship between ideas and the progression from one idea to the next is clear and easy to follow.”要在这方面拿到高分，考生需要做到以下三点。首先，考生要按照英美人士的思维方式来回答问题。西方人是典型的直线型思维，喜欢直抒胸臆地表明自己的观点，然后用生动的例子去论证自己的观点，所以西方人的表达结构通常是“四步走”，即“观点句—理由—证据—结论”，此点后面举例说明。其次，考生要安排好答题节奏，要在规定的时间将自己的答案说完，既不要超时，也不要回答太短，留下空白时间。最后，考生在论述时要准确地使用连接词，以保证考官紧跟考生的思路。

如何备战托福口语

短时间内准备考试和冲分的考生该如何提高备考效率呢？首先，考生应将口语话题分类；其次，考生应学会按照上面所说的“四步走”方法展开话题，学会答题。下面分别详述。

1. 将口语话题分类

考生知道，很多托福口语题目的问法不同，但回答的大方向和框架内容可以不变，因此考生可以先将近期可能考到的题目范围根据主题进行分类，将有共性答案的题目分到一组，然后进行分门别类的练习，这样考生就可以通过练习一个题目来应对多个题目。下面来看几个以学习为主题、具有共性答案的题目的问法。

①Some people think that the best way to learn is to attend lectures. Others think that it is better to learn on their own. Which do you prefer and why？

②Describe one way to improve the system of education in your country. Use specific details and examples to support your opinion.

③Do you agree or disagree with the following statement？ A good school must have many textbooks. Please include specific reasons and examples to support your choice.

④Describe the steps， through which you once learned a new subject and explain how you learned it. Please include details and examples in your response.

⑤Describe a school activity that you once attended and explain why it was meaningful.

这五道题目的问法不一，但是都以学习为主题，考生如何将这五道题变成一道题，使用共性答案来回答呢？第一道题问的是听讲座好还是自学好，考生可以选择讲座。第二道题要求考生提供改进教育体系的方法，考生可以建议学校增加讲座。第三道题要考生回答赞成还是反对使用很多教科书，考生可以选择反对，并建议学校增加讲座。第四题要求考生描述学习一个新科目的过程，考生仍然可以陈述讲座对学习新科目的作用。第五题要求考生描述一项参加过的有意义的学校活动，考生同样可以选择讲座。由此可知，考生可以将描述讲座的优点套用到以上五个题目中。不过需要注意的是，考生在用相同的素材进行回答时，需要根据题目所问的具体问题对内容进行适当的调整，要让回答听起来合情合理，而不是生搬硬套。

2. 用“四步走”展开话题：观点句—理由—证据—结论

笔者以上述第一个话题为例来讲解如何利用“四步走”将话题展开论述。

首先，考生开门见山地表明自己的观点：“From my perspective， I prefer to attend lectures.” 接着，考生给出理由：“To be honest， attending lectures gives me more of a chance to interact with professors.”当然，考生也可以通过说明studying alone的弊端来凸显attending lectures的优点，比如考生可以这样说：“Actually， studying by myself can be inefficient for me because I admit that I am the kind of person who tends to learn by interacting with others.”接下来，考生就要给出充分的证据来支持自己的观点了，比如可以这样说：“Currently I am studying at a university in Beijing as a freshman and every two weeks there is a lecture on a certain topic for all the students， and I take every opportunity to expose myself to various points of view. While some points might not be as thought-provoking as I would like， I can still absorb lots of stuff that goes far beyond the textbooks. ”单一的理由和证据说服力还不够，所以考生可以再提供第二条理由和论据，比如：“In addition， during the lectures， we can raise questions on difficult or abstract ideas which we have been confronted with to ask for explanations， and our professors can usually give a clear answer.”在陈述完自己的观点与证据之后，考生最后再次总结出自己的观点：“To conclude， in my opinion， attending lectures is more effective than learning by myself.”

nlc202309091026

现在笔者再来演示如何把第一题的答题内容应用到回答其他问题上去，以第五题为例。针对第五道题询问“你参加的有意义的活动”，我们可以将上面的观点句变换一下，例如可以这样说：“I’d like to say that I find it quite meaningful to attend the lectures of renowned visiting professors from other well-known universities.”第二步，考生仿照第一道题的回答来给出理由，但是针对这道题考生只能正向说attending lectures的好处，而不能照搬上一题说自学的弊端，比如考生可以这么说：“In fact， attending lectures gives me more access to various insights than studying alone allows.”第三步，考生可以像回答第一题那样阐述证据，只需要对第一题的回答进行微调后使用，比如考生可以这样说：“To be more specific， I am currently studying at a university in Beijing as a freshman and every two weeks there is a lecture on a certain topic for all the students. I always take the opportunity to listen to various points of view. Undoubtedly， some points are highly thought-provoking as one would expect， and I can absorb lots of ideas that go beyond the textbook.”接着，考生再直接照搬上面的第二条理由和论据进行补充说明：“In addition， during the lectures， we can raise questions on difficult or abstract ideas which we have been confronted with to ask for explanations， and our professors can usually give a clear answer.”第四步考生再次针对题目的问答总结自己的观点：“To conclude， no other activities can be more inspiring than attending meaningful lectures.”

托福口语核心话题大致上就是以上14种，根据这些话题，托福口语真题会进行一定的延展，考生在练习时可以自己组织一些试题进行训练。

托福口语评分按语音语调指标评分

根据新托福口语的评分标准，语音语调也是得分的一项指标，高分考生往往有以下三个特点：

1、他们的语音语调比较标准，或者说非常标准。

2、他们的语言表达非常的流利连贯。

3、他们在考场上表现的自信和大方。

对于正在备考的朋友来说，这三大优点，是完全可以提前培养好的。天道小编给大家推荐的一个方法--”语段朗读法“。用这个方法练发音，要注意六点：

(1)段子的难度要适中!比如，你不要拿GRE阅读来练发音朗读。要想清楚，你要做的朗读段子练发音，而不是练阅读理解。

(2)这个阅读材料要有一个漂亮的音频跟它相匹配，这样你跟着音频去跟读，去朗读。

(3)了解语音语调知识。比如说哪些音和哪些音容易混淆。

(4)朗读时，声音要端坐挺胸、大声清晰、音调准确。

(5)你在读这个东西的时候，你可以把它录下音来，让你周围的朋友，英语发音比较好的朋友去帮你听一听，把你的错误给你挑出来。

(6)阅读的材料，不在于你读了多少段，而在于在读每一段，每一遍，你是不是有所改进。你把10-20个段子，每个段子都读得特别棒，就OK了。

以上就是考试吧为大家介绍的托福口语评分标准，希望对大家有帮助。

托福独立口语如何转换答题思路 篇5

首先我们要明白一个道理：托福口语对考生逻辑论述能力要求比较高，需要我们在提供观点时，解释清楚原因，提供例子和细节去支持原因。

我们来看一个经典Task 1，来自官方真题Official1：

Talk about a book you read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to support your answer.

这个题就是需要考生描述一本重要的书籍，还要给出重要的理由。在这里，我们要知道，考官并不真的在乎我们要说的书是什么!题目需要我们展示的是书为什么重要、如何重要，并不一定要讲述书的内容。只要我们在答题时留言流畅，和话题相关就可以得到不错的分数。

所以大家的思路转换大法是：

1.谈感受

例如：故事很有趣，我们可以这么说：The story in the book was so interesting and appealing that once I began to read it, I couldn’t stop. /The book was so fun to read that I couldn’t help laughing every time I read it. It brought me a lot of happiness.

再或者：故事很有意义，我们可以这么说：The story in the book was not only exciting but also inspiring. It taught me so much about the world we were living and showed me different ways people thought. /The story was meaningful and inspiring. It taught me to keep going and never give up, which is the most important lesson in life.

2.谈功能

例如：书本可能会对你的学业有帮助，我们可以说：The book is beneficial to my academic learning. It provides much extra information on my major courses in addition to school textbooks.

又或者：此书还可能帮你交到朋友：To be honest, I met my girlfriend thanks to this book. We were sitting in the reading room next to each other and reading the same book! What a coincidence! Then we began to talk about how much we liked the writer and his books. Next thing you knew, she gave me her number!

说到这里，有些学生会说“那我想不出来什么书怎么办?”没关系，我们可以make up一本书，或者随便挑一本你知道的但没看过的书(考官并不是博学到什么书都看过~)。因为我们在前面说过了，考官不需要你说出书的具体内容，所以你看没看过都没关系，只要能自信的“侃侃而谈”，谈谈感受，谈谈功能，流畅地说够45秒，这个任务也就圆满完成啦~

托福口语考试阅读的核心

一般来讲，任何一个段落无论长短都会涉及问题的一个方面，也就是说每个段落往往要围绕一个主题展开。如东一句，西一句，文章的脉络就不会清晰，读者也就无从抓住重点。段落无论长短都会有说明主题的句子，我们称它为主题句(Key Sentence / Topic Sentence)。抓住主题句就等于抓住了段落的中心。因而，准确判断并找出主题句相当重要。主题句一般会出现在段首或段尾，起概括全段的作用。主题句也可以出现在段中，同时还可以首尾呼应，段落结束时再次强调本段落的中心思想。请看下面的例子：

例1：阅读下面的段落：Students today socialise in ways quite unlike those of their parents. One of the primary differences is the use and abuse of drugs. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, students were known to smoke the odd joint and occasionally take harder substances, whereas according to recent polls, students today are using ever larger quantities of drugs on an ever more regular basis. Whilst cannabis is still the drug of choice among young people, synthetic drugs such as ecstasy and harder drugs such as cocaine and even heroine are being taken by an increasing number of students. Drugs are much more readily available to students and are much cheaper than ever before.段首句为主题句：“Students today socialize in ways quite unlike those of their parents.”它揭示了这段的中心思想是“现在的学生以一种不同于他们父母所采用的方式进行着社会活动。”余下的各个句子都是以具体的事例来支持说明这一中心论点的。例2：阅读下面的段落：We surveyed local residents in three university towns throughout the state to find out their opinions on the students in those towns. We questioned over three thousand people and found that since our last survey three years ago, attitudes towards students have changed considerably. “Lazy,” “scruffy” and “bad-mannered” was how more than 40% of those questioned described students, up from 22% in the last survey. This year only 25% considered students to be “polite” and “friendly” compared with 39% three years ago. Overall, 49% considered students to be a positive part of the town compared to 58% last time.这次调查发现，与三年前的一次调查相比，人们对于学生的态度产生了相当大的变化。这是本段的主题。然后用具体的百分比数字说明这一中心观点。主题句在段落中间。例3：阅读下面的段落：Now let’s look at an interesting example with color. If you own a blue car, you know it is blue, even it is in bright sunlight, in darkness or under a yellow street light. Your eyes tell you that it changes color in these different situations, but your brain knows better. You have learnt that cars don’t change color all time, and so your brain interprets the information your eyes give you.主题句在段尾：“你的大脑在解释你的眼睛传递给它的信息。”前面有关蓝色汽车的例子正是为说明这一观点服务的。

主题句固然可以很好地向读者说明段落的中心思想，但阅读中我们常常会发现，有时很难在具体的位置找到一个明显的能说明主题的句子。这时就需要我们对段落的整体内容进行归纳总结，高度概括提炼出它的中心思想。注意到了主题句的位置，抓住了主题句，就等于抓住了段落的中心思想。除此之外，阅读时还应注意一些进一步归纳总结的词汇和短语的使用以及其他一些措辞，因为这些词的使用可以就什么是主题为读者提供有用的线索。

(“However”转折对比)

阅读时，我们可以根据段落中出现的一些信号词(Signal Words)来判断句子与句子之间的关系，掌握段落发展线索，来调整阅读速度，提高阅读质量。1.显示相同信息的信号词：There has been an upsurge of interest in chamber music. Likewise opera is receiving a boost from increased record sales.“likewise”这一信号词显示了前面所提到的idea后面还要再一次出现。因此，阅读时见到这样的信号词无须放慢阅读速度。这样的信号词还包括：and, furthermore, more, than, that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example2.显示思路转折的信号词：

I’d like to go but I’m too busy.“but”前后是完全不同的信息描述，它向读者显示了作者的思路在这里有了转折。阅读时，碰到这样的信号词我们需放慢阅读速度，以准确获取作者真正想要说明的意思。这类信号词还有：although, however, on the contrary, but, in spite of, otherwise, despite, nevertheless, yet3.显示因果关系的信号词：
