托??谡Z評分中很重要的一條是考生的表述能力。今天小編給大家?guī)硗懈*毩⒕C合口語表述練習(xí)方法介紹。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。
托福獨立綜合口語表述練習(xí)方法介紹
托福獨立口語表述能力如何練習(xí)?
根據(jù)熟悉的話題進行論述,如描述一個熟悉的地方或談?wù)撘欢蝹€人經(jīng)歷;
用簡單明了的語言說明一種觀點或偏好,并用邏輯的語言對原因進行闡述;
提出一項建議并用合理的解釋規(guī)勸別人接受這個建議;
羅列出ETS常出現(xiàn)的熱門話題,并針對這些話題做出一分鐘的回答。用考試的真實境況,選擇一道題,準備1分鐘后,用自己的語言表達觀點和闡述原由,從而達到提高口頭表達能力的目的。
托福綜合口語表述能力訓(xùn)練方法介紹
平時的教科書就是不錯的教材,對每個章節(jié)在結(jié)尾處提出的問題給予口頭回答;
選讀一篇長短適中的文章,提煉出綱領(lǐng)性的要點,在提煉要點的基礎(chǔ)上鍛煉用口頭表述來進行總結(jié);
針對一些相同話題的閱讀和聽力材料進行有效練習(xí)。并針對這些材料做筆記和做以下準備:學(xué)會口頭提煉和總結(jié)這些閱讀和聽力材料;在此基礎(chǔ)上口頭表述重要的信息,并解釋其中相互之間的關(guān)聯(lián);針對閱讀和聽力材料中的觀點進行闡述;對其中提出的某個問題,闡述一種解決問題的方案,并給出相對應(yīng)的理由。
新托福的口語考試采用人機對話的方式,考生無法和真正的考官交流,所以考生的成績不會受到一些人為主觀印象的影響。但對考生來說,完全要靠語言能力去應(yīng)付,沒有肢體語言的輔助,就需要練就一套真功夫。
愛恨并存的托??谡Z模板
托福口語模版的愛與恨
提到模版,大家一般持兩種態(tài)度:
愛的人,覺得模版是可以臨時抱的佛腳,是“餓著肚子備考”的時候可以“充饑”的方便“面”,可以給自己提供安全感和穩(wěn)定感。
不愛的人,覺得模版華而不實,再多脂粉都蓋不住語言底子差的事實,而語言底子好的人都不屑那千人一面的模版,反而是素素雅雅清清麗麗大大方方的用自己的語言說實實在在的話。
到底該愛還是該恨?
兩種觀點其實都各有道理,不同備考階段的考生來說,不同目標分數(shù),對于不同水平,模版的意義的使用方法也會不同。
·誰可以毫無保留的愛:
托福初學(xué)者
大家可以借助模版幫助理解以及記憶答題套路。模版可以在我們不清楚狀況的時候在旁邊幫扶著帶著我們往前走。
目標分數(shù)為23分及以下的同學(xué)
內(nèi)功不夠深厚但備考時間有限的同學(xué)
大家可以挑一款用起來舒服的模版,直接套用。
·誰可以不理不睬:
已經(jīng)非常熟悉且已經(jīng)掌握了每道題的答題框架的同學(xué)
目標分數(shù)為24分及以上的同學(xué)
內(nèi)容深厚且備考時間比較充裕的同學(xué)
大家可以完全放棄掉模版這根拐杖,按照當(dāng)下遇到的題目本身的情況,在覆蓋到所有答題要點的基礎(chǔ)上,來呈現(xiàn)自己的答案。
讓模版出來和大家見見面吧
那我們就勞煩TPO23出馬,帶大家見見套到題目中的綜合題模版的樣子吧。
TASK 3
According to the announcement, the university has decided to cancel the international news section, because other news sources could have a better coverage of that section and the new space could be used for listing events and activities around the campus.
In the listening material, the woman thinks that it's a good change. ‘Cause very few students would read the international news section. Before the campus paper getting around the campus, students have already known the major stories from local paper or from the internet.
As to use the new space to list campus events and activities, it would be very helpful for the students. ‘Cause right now, some of the information are posted everywhere, and are hard to be kept track of. If they are listed in the campus newspaper, students could just cut it out, carry it around, and check it anytime, anywhere.
TASK 4
The reading passage introduces the concept of reference group, which means the groups of people who we admire and whose behavior and attitudes we tend to imitate.
In the listening material, the professor uses his own example to explain how his behavior was affected by two different reference groups.
When he started his university study, he always hung out with some arts students. He thought they were cool and he really admired them. So he started to imitate their casual dressing style, like dressing in the T-shirts and jeans and sneakers. These arts students could be considered as his first reference group.
After graduation, he got a job in a company. He thought his colleagues were really impressive. So he started to spend weekends with them, and changed his attitude, his taste of the dressing style, from the casual one to a nicer and a little more formal one. It’s a good example of how his reference groups had changed because of the change of his age and circumstance.
TASK 5
The man has a problem. There is a new bus schedule and the bus will leave earlier, which means after his chemistry class, he couldn’t catch the bus in time to his work.
There are two solutions to this problem.
He could either start his work later or ride a bike to his working place after the chemistry class.
Personally, I recommend him to ride his own bike.
Because it’s not far and will take him only 15 mins. Plus, he could get some exercise from riding. I know there would be bad weather sometimes, but I think he just could take an umbrella with him.
Besides, if he starts his work on time, he needn’t to work late at night and could have a good rest, so it won’t influence his next day’s classes.
TASK 6
The professor talks about two ways that carnivorous plants get their nutrients.
The first way is active trap, which means the plants could move to capture the insects. Like the Venus flytrap, The sweet nectars on their leaves could attract insects. When insects land on their leaves, the leaves actively get closed and form a cage, so the insects couldn’t fly away. Then, the Venus flytrap could get the nutrients from the insects.
The second way is passive trap, which means the plants don’t have any moving parts to trap things. Like the sundew plants. They produce some sweet stuff to attract the insects as well. Though they don’t move at all, they can produce something sticky. When insects land on their leaves, the insects get glued and trapped there. In this way, the sundew plants could absorb the nutrients from the insects.
托??谡Z經(jīng)典話題表達方法之委婉拒絕
1. “This sounds interesting, but I have too much on my plate at the moment.”
“聽起來很有趣,但是我現(xiàn)在有太多的事情要做?!?/p>
When you start your disagreement with a compliment: “this sounds interesting”, it makes the person less defensive and gives you a validreason to decline “I have too much on my plate at the moment”.
如果你在表達異議時用贊美開頭:“聽起來很有趣”,會讓人的心理防御降低,這時你可以用正當(dāng)理由來拒絕,如“我現(xiàn)在有太多的事情要做?!?/p>
2. “I’m sorry but last time I did ___, I had a negative experience.”
“不要意思,上次我這樣做時,我很難受 ?!?/p>
This is a life-saver for me every time I have to explain to people that I do not eat meat. Before I would say that I was a vegetarian, but for some reason this explanation has never worked on hospitable Italian grandmothers. They would try to feed me bacon, sausage and octopuses (yuck!) explaining it with “this is not meat” or “I just put a little in this dish”.
當(dāng)我每次需要向他人解釋我不吃肉時,這句話是我的救命稻草。在此之前,我通常說我是素食主義者,但是不知什么原因,這種解釋對好客的意大利奶奶們一點兒用也沒有。她們總是讓我吃培根、香腸和章魚(真難吃!),并向我解釋“這不是肉”或“只放了一點點兒?!?/p>
Now I simply say, “I’m sorry, but I can not eat meat. Last time I did, I had a terrible headache.” And it works like a charm, because no one wants to hurt you on purpose.
現(xiàn)在我只是說,“不好意思,我不能吃肉。上次我吃肉時,我頭疼得很厲害?!?這非常管用,因為沒人想故意傷害你。
The focus here is not on what you want or do not want to do, but on your previous bad experience.
這里要注意的是,關(guān)鍵不在于你想要什么或不想做什么,關(guān)鍵在于上次你這樣做很難受。
3. “I’d love to do this, but ____”
“我想這么做,但是____”。
This is a great way of saying that you like the idea, you are willing to help, but you just can not do it at the moment.
這是一種很好的方式,說你喜歡這樣做,你想去幫忙,但是你現(xiàn)在沒法做。
Note: Just do not go into a lengthy justification of why you can not do it.
注意:不要進一步說明你為什么不能做。
First, it is not necessary. Time is a limited resource and when you say “yes” to one task, you have to say “no” to other opportunities that might be more important, urgent and beneficial to you at the moment. Second, offering a lengthy explanation makes you sound guilty and unsure, so people might push further to see if you will agree.
首先,沒有必要。每個人的時間都是有限的,當(dāng)你對一項任務(wù)說“是”的時候,你就不得不對另外的一些機遇說“不”,盡管那些機遇現(xiàn)在對你來說可能是更加重要、緊急或有益的。另外,進一步解釋會讓你有種負罪感和不確定感,人們可以進一步勸說你看你是否會同意。
4. “I’m not the best person to help on this. Why don’t you try X?”
“我不是這項任務(wù)的最佳人選。要不你們看看X行不行?”
If you feel that you can not contribute much to the task, have no time or lack the resources, do not beat around the bush! Let the person know it up front. This, however, does not mean that you can not be helpful. You can still refer the person to a lead they can follow up on.
如果你覺得你不能在任務(wù)中投入太多精力,沒有那么多時間或缺少資源,那就不要拐彎抹角!讓別人知道。這樣,別人就不會覺得你沒有幫忙。你可以推薦他人供他們參考。
5. “I can’t do this, but I can do ____ (less commitment).”
“我不能這樣做,但是我可以 ___(做出較少的承諾)。”
This is another variation of the previous method. You are saying “No” to a request, but you are still offering your help on your own terms, choosing the easier, less time-consuming commitment.
這是前面那種方法的變種。你雖然是對別人的請求說“不”,但是你仍然提供幫助,選擇相對簡單、需要較少時間的方式。
6. “You look great, but ___ does not do you justice”
“你看上去很棒,但是___不是很適合你?!?/p>
This is a great way to diplomatically express your opinion when someone asks you a question about their appearance, without hurting the other person’s feelings (especially if the person asking you is your friend, your superior or your spouse).
當(dāng)別人問你外貌方面的問題時,這是一個既能表達出你的想法卻又不傷害別人情感的好方法。(尤其當(dāng)那個人是你的朋友、上級或配偶時)。
7. “That sounds great, but I just can’t put one more thing on my calendar for the next few weeks. Let me call you ___ (specific time range).”
“聽起來很不錯,但是接下來的幾周,我的行程已經(jīng)排得滿滿的了。等我在__時(具體的時間范圍內(nèi))打電話通知你。”
Sometimes you might get a proposal, an idea or a request that sounds interesting. But considering the amount of tasks on your to-do list, you do not feel like taking another commitment just yet.
有時你可能會得到一個有趣的提議、想法或請求。但考慮到你任務(wù)清單上的內(nèi)容, 你可能不想做出其他承諾。
In this case, instead of saying a straight out “No”, you are giving yourself time to reflect before making a final decision: “Let me call you ___ (specific time range).”
在這種情況下,與其直接說“不”, 不如爭取時間想想再做決定:“等我在__時(具體的時間范圍內(nèi))打電話通知你?!?/p>
However, if you are not interested, do not leave the person hanging on. Use other ways to say “No” that are more definitive (e.g. methods #1,#2 or #3). It is more disappointing when the person is counting on you and you let them down.
然而,要是你不感興趣的話,就不要讓別人等待。使用另外幾種明確說“不”的方式。(如方法#1、#2或#3)。如果別人指望你,而你讓他們掃興的話,那樣會更令人失望的。
