1、iBT新 托 福 考 试 , 如 何 从 25分 向 30分 圆 满 攀 登 ? ( 口 语 篇 ) 对于口语的追求,是中国考生几乎永恒的主题。因为那美式的语音语调,好像是身份的标签,不仅仅在考场内部可以让自己平添一份自信,就是在公共场合也是身份的象征。但是托福考试一向不喜欢华丽的外衣,完美的语音语调从来不是保证你的高分的利器,当然同样也不是你无法爬过 25 分的关键性的门槛。只要你看过超过 10 份的 25 分成绩单,马上就会注意到这些成绩单的评语是那么的相似,这不仅仅是因为这些关于成绩单的解释大多来自于模板,其实还是因为这些阐释体现了托福考试的关键性的要求,但是很遗憾,大多数人并不在意那里
2、写了什么。其实只要我们仔细的审视这些成绩单,马上就会发现,之所以我们总是跨不过 25 分的门槛,大多是因为如下 2 个原因。1 语法错误:想要知道自己说的内容是否有语法错误,其实很简单,就是把自己的答案,用录音机录下来,然后再手动的将这些内容敲入电脑,然后把这些文字稿交给你的朋友或者英语老师,他们很快就能够帮你发现里面是否有问题。这种问题不仅在大陆学生之中非常的常见,其实在留学生之中也非常的常见,不过原因不一样,国内的学生是因为以前没有注意,但是留学生则是因为自己要么不重视托福考试,要么是重视托福考试,但是以前的生活以及学习之中,根本就没有注意到自己有相关的问题,就是因为在真正的英语环境里,很
3、少有人校正我们口语的语法问题。当然简单的发现问题没有任何作用,我们一定要把经常错的语法点挑出来,首先通过语法书看懂,接下来还要继续在自己的平时训练之中多注意是否再犯相似的错误。2 听力不准:无老师必须要说,不同人的问题不一定是一样的,而有些人恰恰就是在听力这个部分出现问题,由于自己的听力部分不甚准确,错误的理解了听力部分的内容,因此会导致在口语的 3-6 题之中对于听力内容的表述总是会出现错误,但是这一点为什么很少发生在阅读之中呢?原因很简单,就是因为口语部分考察的重点不在于听力和阅读,因此听力和阅读部分难度并不高,但是由于中国学生普遍阅读基础很强,因此不会出现阅读不对的情况,但是反过来中国学
4、生普遍听力基本功不好,因此虽然考察的难度不高,但是仍然会出现问题。当然也是因为听力录音我们只能听 1 遍,但是阅读部分,我们可以反复研读,也是有相当大的关系。当然影响着口语成绩的因素还有很多,比如说练得少,单词量不够,Chinglish 以及很多相关的问题,但是本篇文章是专门针对那些已经达到 25 分的考生,他们大多已经跨过这些难题,因此本篇文章里面只针对已经达到 25 分,但是提分乏力的考友们专门撰写的。_其实托福考试,是一个语言考试,就像北京人,天津人,河南人,海南人都能说普通话,但是我们不会因为这些人说的普通话不够标准,就说此人中文不好一样。语言最核心的功能是交流和记录。只要我们能够很好
5、的完成交流这个目的,那么我们就是有一个不错的口语,而不是我们只有发出像罗京一样标准的普通话,才算是优秀的口语。So,从这个角度来说,我们回头再来看 iBT 新托福官方指南 208 页里面清晰的写到:评分依照的是:清晰表达,即流畅清晰、发音正确、语速适中、语音语调自然就可以了。换句话说,你只要言之有物,而且没有语法错误,并且准确的把自己的意思表达出来就可以了。并不需要过分追求口音的纯正。当然有口音纯正更好,如果不纯正也没什么影响。那么这个黄金口语 80 题的价值,更多的在于他给我们提供了一个准备新托福口语的方向和范围。告诉我们应该准备哪些主题。换句话说只要我们准备了这些口语题,那么其他的口语题目
6、以此类推,我们都可以迎刃而解。因此你如果你即将踏上考场的话,那么挑出来至少 10 道题。把这些题每一句话具体该怎么说,同时解答完这些题需要多少时间,都要熟记于心,这样才能在考场上做到沉着镇定,游刃有余。这就是这个黄金口语 80 题的价值。下面就请新托福黄金口语 80 题登场,各位看官您上眼嘞1.
