托??荚嚨目谡Z部分是支持考后復議的,因此有些同學在口語得分較低不太符合自身預期時就會去申請復議口語成績。今天小編給大家?guī)砹送懈?谡Z復議結果和注意事項詳細介紹,希望能夠幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。
托福口語復議結果和注意事項詳細介紹
一、托??谡Z復議優(yōu)勢與風險
優(yōu)勢:
1、當考生其它分數(shù)很高,某單項成績很低,比自己預想的成績低很多時,通過托??谡Z復議考生可以拿到自己“應得”的成績,不用再受車輪戰(zhàn)考試之苦。
2、申請時間充足的情況下,可以用剩余的精力去準備其它考試(比如SAT)。
3、避免再次考試時已經(jīng)考到不錯成績的其它單項成績反而下滑的情況。
風險:
1、如果托福口語復議成功了,也不一定都是好事情,因為口語和作文的復議會在原始成績上加分,也有可能減分。
2、復議過程中成績會被凍住,不能申請送正在復議的分數(shù)。如果在復議前已經(jīng)幫你送出了很多這次的成績,復議成ETS會免費幫你重新送一次復議后的新成績到所有你以前申請送過分的學校。學校以新的成績?yōu)闇省?/p>
3、復議持續(xù)的時間流程長短不一,根據(jù)處理效率從幾周到兩月,不是所有人都等得起的!
4、復議后分數(shù)沒變化(多數(shù)情況):那么這個成績也不能進行再次復議了,這是一個最終成績,你的選擇就是重新考,對很多人來講這是時間的浪費。
二、托??谡Z復議的真相
復議后分數(shù)波動的比例及成績提高或者降低比重:
百分之十左右的參加復議的同學分數(shù)會發(fā)生變化,在這些變化的人中間:大約五分之三的人會漲分,五分之二的人會降分。
三、托福口語復議的選擇
以下幾種人建議最好進行托??谡Z復議:
1、口語17、8分以下,且有自信者。這個分數(shù)有些偏低,對申請學校幫助不大。
2、口語20分以下,特別是在17分以下,而其他三項均在24分以上者,并且不是啞巴口語。其他三項都考得不錯,意味著考生總體水平不錯,所以復議成功的可能性很大。
3、沒有準備時間再提升水平考第二次,成績離學校的要求還差2-3分,而學校又很苛刻者。
4、印象中自己發(fā)揮很好,對比答案和評分標準覺得靠譜,并且不甘心,想要給自己一個交代的。
新托福(TOEFL)考試口語部分常見問題解答
1. 為什么新托??荚嚢谡Z部分?
The focus of the TOEFL iBT is on communicative competence and tests your ability to use English to communicate effectively in an academic setting. Speaking is a key communication skill, along with listening, reading, and writing, and has an important place in the TOEFL iBT assessment.
2. 為什么新托??谡Z中的一些部分的答案是建立在閱讀和聽力文章基礎上的?
Speaking tasks that combine reading and/or listening passages with speaking are called integrated tasks. They are included in the TOEFL iBT in recognition of the fact that to succeed academically in English-speaking colleges and universities, students need to be able to combine all their English-language skills—in reading, listening, and speaking, as well as writing—inside and outside the classroom.
3. 在新托福口語部分中我要做多少閱讀和聽力工作?
The reading and listening passages that are associated with the integrated tasks vary in length but are all quite brief. Reading passages range from approximately 75 to 100 words, and the listening passages are generally between 60 and 90 seconds long. In addition to being short, the listening and reading passages are not intended to be difficult. They are designed to provide you with clear and accessible informa-tion to use in answering the speaking questions.
4. 我在聽力中所有的部分都可以做筆記嗎?
Yes. You may take notes at any time during the Speaking section—while reading the written passages, listening to the spoken dialogues or lectures, and preparing your responses. While you listen to the dialogues or lectures and take notes, you should not try to write down word for word everything you hear. If you try to do this, you will probably miss hearing important information. Similarly, while preparing your spoken response, do not try to write out an answer that you will then try to speak. You will not have enough time to write out a full response, and raters will be rating you on your ability to speak, not on your ability to read aloud from a text that you have written. Instead, you should use your preparation to review whatever notes you have taken and to organize your ideas.
5. 回答的評分標準是什么?
Each of the six tasks on the TOEFL iBT is rated by human scorers who will assign ratings ranging from 0 to 4 for each response. The scorers will evaluate your responses for the ability they display in topic development, delivery, and language use, and assign an overall score for each response, based on these three factors.
6. 最終口語成績是怎樣評判的?
The scores on your individual speaking tasks are added up, with each individual task score carrying the same weight. The sum of these individual scores is converted into a scaled score of 0 to 30, and that is the Speaking score that will be reported to the institutions you request.
7. 出現(xiàn)錯誤會怎樣影響我的成績?
Raters will not focus on the number of errors you make. They will score the response based on the overall performance. A response that contains minor or occasional errors may still be scored at the highest level.
8. 如果我來不及回答完會有什么情況?
You may find that for some tasks, you are not able to include in your answer all the information you would like to. The time allotted for each speaking response is considered sufficient for you to give a complete answer, and you should try to give as thorough an answer as possible. However, the raters who evaluate your responses recognize that it may not always be possible for you to anticipate precisely how much of what you want to say will fit into the amount of time provided. Keep in mind that how clearly and coherently you convey information is as important as how much information you convey. Therefore, you should avoid speaking at an unnaturally rapid pace if you see that time is going to run out before you say everything you have planned to say. You may find it useful to time yourself when practicing the speaking tasks. This will help you get an idea of how much can be said in the allotted time.
9. 如果時間還沒有到,但我已作答完畢,會有什么情況?
If you finish your answer before time runs out, you may want to consider what additional information you could add that make your answer more complete. If you find yourself with extra time, it may not be a good idea for you to merely repeat what you have already said. Rather, ask yourself what else you could say to clarify, elaborate on, or otherwise develop your response more fully. Timing yourself when practicing the speaking tasks should help you get accustomed to the time allowances.
10. 我能回到前面更改我的答案嗎?
No. Each of your spoken responses is recorded, and it is not possible to go back and re-record what you have said. For each question, you will be given some time to prepare your answer, and this should help you plan ahead of time what you want to say. You should also remember that your speaking responses are not expected to be perfect. If in the course of giving your spoken response, you realize that you should have said something differently, you should feel free to correct your mistake if you wish, just as you would if you had made a mistake while speaking in your native language and wanted to correct it. Otherwise you may want to simply ignore an error and continue with your response, making sure that the remainder of what you say is as intelligible, coherent, and accurate as possible.
11. 我的口音和發(fā)音會影響我的分數(shù)嗎?
All TOEFL iBT test takers will have speech that is accented to some degree or another, and your score will not be affected by your accent, unless your accent interferes with the intelligibility of your response. Minor and/or occasional pronunciation mistakes are also expected, even among the most proficient test takers, and, here again, as long as pronunciation mistakes do not interfere with the intelligibility of your response, they will not count against your score.
托福名師指導:托福口語之部分細節(jié)技巧
針對托??谡Z而言,和此部分直接掛鉤的是第一題和第二題,然而三到六題的綜合題更多考研 對閱讀及聽力的理解程度及轉述水平,下面發(fā)表個人就各部分一些細節(jié)技巧方面的觀點。
首先是第一題,preference 題或稱之為“偏好題”,經(jīng)過收集和研究,題型主要走人物題、地點題、事件題及物品題。由于不會出現(xiàn)雅思考試考官針對同一話題問兩次到三次的情況,所以針對托福備考有個稱之為“同一話題只需準備一個題材”的概念,也就是在備考前面對同一話題無需泛化去找另類話題,而是不斷深化,思考可以囊括闡述其他人物、地點、事件或物品的通用理由。如果文章開始表述,建議如同寫作一樣大體分為三段闡述,開題無需技巧,簡單讀題即可,把you 都改成me,比起I think……開頭可以省去相對多的思維時間。內容一般找三個理由,為避免理由重復或累贅,建議就方便、經(jīng)濟、減壓等常用理由進行練習,并結合不斷問自己How 及Why 等問題來充實內容,完成example 的部分。最后用連詞進行連接,這里有個技巧,就使用first, also, finally,因為三到六題綜合題中這三個詞常成為提示詞出現(xiàn),在前兩題中使用可對其有一定敏感度。
再次是第二題,結合第一題,內容分布完全相同,并且這兩題對時間把握尤其重要,要求考生進行“掐表”練習,對45s 有感性認識,當一定練習后,口語部分的考試不再是考內容的,而是考時間的,因此在考試過程中掐時間角度有很多技巧可言,比如:當闡述內容結束時時間為38s 或39s,則在最后可加句detail 或一句類似The person like me has no choice but to do sth.的長廢話;當結束時時間為41s 或42s,則在最后可加一句短廢話,如I find it’s cool.
最討厭的是41s 說完這句短廢話后變成42s,離perfect time 還是有3 秒鐘,那么可以用一些裝口吃或吞口水的考場技巧將時間掐到44s 或45s。(實踐證明裝口吃或吞口水不扣分)最后是三到六題的綜合題部分。綜合題由于會有聽力和閱讀,因此要求考生對信號詞定位有所敏感,口語中涉及的技巧是即使不理解聽力內容,結合簡單的信號詞如first, also, finally, but, yet, for the following reasons 等定位中心內容,遇到生疏單詞、句子,記下讀音,再完整地還給考官,一樣得分。第三題聽力內容中一男一女進行談話,就他們對閱讀內容的態(tài)度與否(支持還是反對),不可以從語氣上進行判斷,要根據(jù)記錄內容的回推去確認,以免犯錯。
第四題是普遍認為最難的一題,但記好一個技巧:“閱讀找概念,聽力找例子”,由于此學術題是由同一個人出的,聽力內容肯定跟著閱讀內容走,而且思路都是一樣的,因此讀細閱讀對聽力的理解相當有幫助,就如Animal Domestication 這道經(jīng)典題作為例子,閱讀中談到了三個話題:有些動物不容易被馴養(yǎng),動物是否容易被馴養(yǎng)和它的territory(T)有關,動物是否容易被馴養(yǎng)和它的social structure(S)有關。因此就光看閱讀,我們可以揣測出既然是動物的馴化,“動物”一定是聽力中的例子,結合閱讀的第一個話題,有些動物不容易被馴養(yǎng),那么有些動物就容易被馴養(yǎng),可以模擬出如果找例子,一般而言肯定是兩類動物,一個容易,一個不容易。再結合閱讀中第二個及第三個話題,可以揣測出是否容易被馴養(yǎng)和分別和這類動物的T 和S 有關,從閱讀中我們可以了解到“沒有T,有S”更容易被馴養(yǎng),那么聽力中我們要去尋找的就是作者是如何用例子闡述某類動物是“沒有T,有S”或“有T,沒有S”的。找到例子,結合閱讀提出的話題概念,最后整合成口語表述內容。
第五題是綜合題中相對最簡單的一道,因為第二題已經(jīng)反復練習了Choice 的考法,無非是多了聽力,但第五題難度表現(xiàn)在20s 準備時間里,要求對聽力內容及Choice 大致信息的構建,技巧在Choice 理由的選擇上,由于此時題目未要求采用Choice 題中preference, A/D, 還是comparison 題型,建議采用comparison 題型構建思路,也就是支持自己觀點的同時,對反對觀點也進行陳述。分別找一個理由就夠了,這樣就能省下很多的準備時間。
第六題考點很復雜,因此去琢磨考什么沒有意義,而更多去思考怎么考。一般而言,第六題往往是從兩個或三個角度出發(fā)闡述問題,因此聽力之前大致思維路線就要清楚,仍然注重example 的記錄,對不理解或聽不懂的內容仍然采用怎么來怎么可回去的方式答題,切不可盲目替換。
名師支招:托福(TOEFL)考試口語與心理障礙
口語考試,實際上也是一種心理的考試,筆者總結出幾個心理障礙的現(xiàn)象,你有過嗎?
無論你是在中國,還是在美國或英國,如果你有心理障礙,就會出現(xiàn)以下的現(xiàn)象:
1. 沒說話之前就在嘀咕,如果我說錯了怎么辦?
2. 我是用什么時態(tài)呢?
3. 我是說慢點呢,還是快點?
4. I THINK, I THINK……
5. 深沉著……
6. 抬頭,眼睛向上翻著….. 尋找著……
一個從英聯(lián)邦回來的高中生, 在那里讀了2年的高中了,與他對話嚇了一跳,我緊跟著問了幾遍,你真的是從國外回來的?? 沒錯,原因是同學多數(shù)是中國人,而且參加討論的課程也少,不愿意與人交流,心理上就在抵抗,那么說托福口語就更加的困難, IDEA全無,給人一種一片茫然的感覺,總是覺得自己會緊張,說不出來.
對于這種狀況,先消除的就是心理疾病,在交談中不斷地鼓勵和激勵,并用一些適合他的方式來練嘴,你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)當心理障礙被屏蔽掉后,他說話的流利程度很快的上漲,幾天的時間就已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出來自信和流暢.
總結的說,口語訓練,不是只有在英語母語國家才能練出來,中國有大批的沒有出國的中國人,口語也相當?shù)暮茫皇欠椒▎栴}.更何況現(xiàn)在的信息發(fā)達,聽和說的機會都相當多.我一直認為在托??荚囍校谡Z和寫作是最好拿分的。
