托福口语如何回答才能地道?
托福口语如何回答才能地道?
们在自制口语模板时,需要用到的其实就是:TPO中的综合题task3和task5。这两类题涉及的都是校园生活话题,比如选课、租房、参与课外活动等等...这些同样也是Task1和Task2里的常见话题。并且,这两类题目里的阅读和听力部分都有针对各自观点来展开的两条详细理由。这刚好就是我们需要借鉴过来的地方,例如,针对一个话题给出的理由点、细节描述,句式句型。同学们可以结合自己的实际情况进行改写,总结出属于自己的模板来答题。
举个真实案例:
下面是来自口语课的一道题目:
If the university is going to make somechanges to improve students’ life, which do you think universityshould change and why?
a. Cafeteria
b. Swimming pool
c. Student dorm
小X同学在三个选项中选择了cafeteria,他迅速脑补到之前练习的两篇
TPO17task3和TPO24task3。我们来回顾一下阅读及听力原文:
NewLibrary Workspaces
Saygood-bye to the big, multi person study tables in Turner summer, the tables will be exchanged for new personal studycubicles—small, one-person desks enclosed by walls. These new unitswill allow students to have privacy and work in isolation and willtherefore eliminate noise in the library so students can , the cubicles will enable the library to accommodate therecent increase in the number of students attending our the current tables seat six students each, they make pooruse of available floor space. The cubicles, on the other hand, aredesigned for maximum space efficiency, and the library can thereforeadd 50 new seats.
(man) They’re making a mistake.
(woman) What do you mean?
(man) Look, They’re trying to do away with distractions so that we can study better. But withthis change, we won’t have anywhere in the library to get together to work on group projects.
(woman) True. Group project work is common these days.
(man) So, instead of buying these new units. They should use the money to build meetingrooms, and that would reduce any noise in the main library areas.
(woman) Yeah, that’s what we could really use. There’s just not as much need to work inisolation.
(man) Exactly. And the other thing is, what’s this about overcrowding? Well, sure we have morestudents enrolled in the university this year, but do we really have a problem withovercrowding?
(woman) I don’t think so. I always get a whole tableto myself.
(man) Right. I see empty tables there all the time. It’ll just be a waste of money to replacewhat we have. Since what we have now is sufficient for the amount of students that use thelibrary.
上述题中所讲的内容是有关于学校要在图书馆里修建个人独立式的学习空间。
整理一下核心信息点:
阅读部分给出了两点原因:
安静:学生能够更专注于学习。
Thesenew units will allow students to have privacy and work in isolationand will therefore eliminate noise in the library so students canconcentrate.
节省空间:能够容纳更多的学生。
thecubicles will enable the library to accommodate the recent increasein the number of students attending our university.
接下来是听力部分的两点反驳原因:
学生没有地方做团队项目,并且如果修建会议室,能减少噪音。
Withthis change, we won’t have anywhere in the library to get together to work on group that would reduce any noise in the main library areas.
学校图书馆目前并不存在过于拥挤的问题。
what we have now is sufficient for the amount of students that use thelibrary.
Close the CampusCoffee house
Ipropose that the university close the campus are great, if people actually use them, like tosocialize with friends, while enjoying a cup of coffee and a snack.But students are not using our campus coffeehouse. There are usuallylots of empty tables when I p ass by the place. It’s just a wasteof space that could be used for other things. Also, the food at thecoffeehouse is not very good. The last time I was there, the cakesand muffins my friends and I ordered were dry and didn’t have muchflavor. Sincerely,Greg Smith
(woman) I don’t like his proposal.
(man) Why not? There are never many studentsthere.
(woman) But that’s why I like about it, that it’s nevercrowded.
(man) Really?
(woman) Yeah, so it’s a great place to study. I go there a lot. I’ll read a book or bring my laptopcomputer and work on a paper for class. It’s never very noisy.
(man) You’re able to get work done there?
(woman) Absolutely! In fact, I actually prefer it to the library as a place to study, and a lot ofother students do, too. We even study for our final exams there, and you can eat there whileyou work, something you can’t do with the library.
(man) OK, but you don’t actually like the food there, do you? I mean, he said.
(woman) Well, I don’t think he’s been there recently, I mean, it’s true that it wasnt that greatin the past, but I think it’s a lot better now.
(man) What’s changed?
(woman) They have a new manager and I guess she’s made some improvements in the qualityof the food. I was there last week and the food was delicious.
(man) Really?
(woman) Yeah, really! And the new manager has also added a lot of really healthful foods andsnacks, so the food doesnt just taste good now. It’s good for you, too.
(man) Hmm, I’ll have to try the place.
上述题中所讲的内容是关于学生建议关掉学校里的咖啡馆。
整理一下核心信息点:
阅读部分给出了两点原因
没人来,浪费空间。
studentsare not using our campus coffeehouse. It’s just a waste of spacethat could be used for other things
东西不好吃。
thefood at the coffeehouse is not very good.
接下来是听力部分的两点反驳原因:
没人去会比较安静,刚好适合在这学习。
it’s a great place to study. I go there a lot. I’ll read a book or bring my laptopcomputer and work on a paper for class. We even study for our final exams there, and you can eat there whileyou work.
食物变好吃了。
she’s made some improvements in the qualityof the new manager has also added a lot of really healthful foods andsnacks,so the food doesnt just taste good now. It’s good for you, too.
回到题目上来,小X同学选择cafeteria是想分别从饮食和场地大小两方面进行展开。于是摘取了这两篇综合材料中的一部分内容,在原文基础上稍作了改动,就变成了一篇不错的答案。
这里值得注意的是,小X同学语言表达一直比较单一,这里,他尝试着运用了材料中一些地道词汇句式来弥补自己这个问题。
Answers:
Ithink the university should make some changes on the campuscafeteria, especially the food there,because itwill be good for students’health. For example, the foodin my university’s cafeteria is actually not very good. We havecomplaint many times that the meat is often dry and there are too fewvegetables served for students. I think they do needto add healthful foods andsnacks.
Inaddition, many students like to come to the university’s cafeteria,to read books,work on their projects, or get togetherand chat with their friends,so the place should be large enough to hold as many students aspossible. Atleast, we hopenot to have trouble finding a seat in there.

5、练习时做错的题目保证下次不再犯错
6、多复习多练习,不要休息,一休息就会忘的很快
7、做模拟题时,把握好时间,每个部分再分配好的时机内完成。这样以后就有了概念合理安排做题时间。
8、学习英语可以应用在很多方面,别忽略了电影、电视以及发“非标准”形式的英语。
