托?？谡Z想要提高并不僅僅只能通過托?？谡Z練習本身的題目，很多時候各方面都可以幫助大家的托?？谡Z分數(shù)有所突破，下面小編就和大家分享托?？谡Z和閱讀互相進步很重要，希望能夠幫助到大家，來欣賞一下吧。

托?？谡Z和閱讀互相進步很重要

托?？谡Z放在最后一部分，并不是不重要，而是各個方面都可以配合口語進行練習。比如在做閱讀的時候，做完之后可以按照口語復述的要求自己復述出來，寫作之前可以簡單口語說一下自己的idea。這樣，雖然我們的練習材料只有一個，但是我們有多種方式來練習，起到事半功倍的作用。

同時，在自己托?？谡Z練習的空閑時間多看看英語的原版電影，及時補充自己的關于國外生活的知識，這樣自己的水平就會不斷提升。

可以看出托福口語練習可以從多方面進行，無論是閱讀還是電影都是很有效的手段，托?？谡Z是一個需要長期積累和練習的項目，只有這樣才能讓托?？谡Z分數(shù)有新的突破。
