托福口語備考練習(xí)誤區(qū)指點(diǎn) 練好內(nèi)功比刷題更重要

來自托??谡Z名師的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)

每節(jié)口語課一開始,我都會問學(xué)生一個問題:”How are you today?”一個極其簡單又不簡單的問題。如果學(xué)生只會回答:”Fine, thank you, and you?”甚至只有:”Fine!” 那不好意思,你的口語可能一點(diǎn)都不fine。因?yàn)檫@種答案就是應(yīng)試教育下的產(chǎn)物,只注重筆試和語法,卻忽略了語言最本質(zhì)的作用:交流。

而相反,如果學(xué)生的回答能多樣化一些,生活化一些,比如:”Not bad, you know, just another busy day at work” 或者是:”I’m doing great, in fact, I just watched the new Jason Bourne movie and it was terrific.” 甚至更加主動一點(diǎn)的,反客為主地問我:”Hey Vincent, how’s it going?” 那么恭喜你,你的口語水平還不錯,至少能愉快地和別人交流。

而事實(shí)上,這兩種不同的回答,也代表了兩種截然不同的學(xué)生,前者的口語存在一定硬傷(發(fā)音或語音語調(diào),語法錯誤過多,或者是句型詞匯過于簡單,非常Chinglish),托??谡Z的分?jǐn)?shù)一般在15-20分,而后者則至少聽上去比較自然,發(fā)音標(biāo)準(zhǔn),表達(dá)流利,雖然也有一些語法錯誤和用詞不當(dāng),但不影響理解,托福口語分?jǐn)?shù)一般在20-24分之間。

口語基礎(chǔ)差刷題難彌補(bǔ)

所以對于本身口語就有問題的同學(xué),如果只是單純地刷刷TPO,而不去從根本上改善自己口語的短板,那么多半是原地踏步,很難取得突破。比如說我有個學(xué)生,看完電影「瘋狂動物城」,卻連英文名都記不住,那又怎么能在需要用到電影名稱舉例的時(shí)候說出來呢?又或者受人熱捧的奧斯卡影帝小李子,又有多少同學(xué)知道他的全名叫Leonardo DiCaprio,并且可以標(biāo)準(zhǔn)地讀出來呢?這就是很多學(xué)生的問題所在,從來不去接觸real English,從沒有讀過一篇國外主流媒體或雜志上的文章,沒有聽過任何一個英文的播客或廣播,美其名曰地看美劇學(xué)英文到頭來也只是看著字幕圖個樂,英語水平并沒有得到任何提高。

練口語的語言環(huán)境并不難得

也許有同學(xué)會說,我們生活在中國,缺乏英語語言環(huán)境,可現(xiàn)在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)那么發(fā)達(dá),任何的學(xué)習(xí)資料,只要你想,就可以輕易地獲得。就以托福的TPO模考軟件為例,它其實(shí)就是很好的口語學(xué)習(xí)材料,但前提是你知道它的正確打開方式。以TPO22,口語Task3中聽力部分的一句話為例。

Well, you know, I’ve actually been up to the admission office a couple of times, like, to pick up some information for a friend, you know, and every time I’ve ever been there, wow, you can tell they are really busy.

這里的well, you know, like等詞叫做 Verbal fillers,是指用來填補(bǔ)說話中的停頓或者間隔的一些無實(shí)際意義的詞,這類詞如果使用得當(dāng),會給人一種連貫自然的感覺。

這段話也包含了幾處口語中常見的連讀,比如been up [bi?n ?p], 因?yàn)閎een以[n]這個輔音結(jié)尾,而up又以[?]這個元音開頭,所以口語中習(xí)慣把他們連在一起讀,聽起來像一個詞[bi?n?p],同樣的例子還有pick up,了解并掌握這些連讀規(guī)則不僅可以幫助考生聽懂聽力,也可以讓自己的口語表達(dá)更加連貫,流利??此坪唵蔚腡PO口語題,其實(shí)暗藏玄機(jī),別有洞天。

托??谡Z備考要以練好內(nèi)功為主

因此同學(xué)們在備考托??谡Z期間,一定要注重練習(xí)口語表達(dá),練好內(nèi)功,找一些適合自己的英語材料,不管是一篇來自原版雜志報(bào)刊的專業(yè)文章,還是一個英語播音電視節(jié)目的播客,先努力看懂,聽懂,再去琢磨里面的表達(dá),短語,生詞,最后嘗試用英文來復(fù)述,如果覺得完整復(fù)述太長了,可以先從段落開始,如果覺得內(nèi)容太多記不住,可以看筆記來幫助記憶,一開始可能會覺得很難,但如果能堅(jiān)持做一個月,口語表達(dá)將會有很大改善,更加的流利,用詞和句型更加豐富,甚至連知識面也更廣了。而這種提高,不僅能幫助同學(xué)們通過托福考試,更能讓今后的留學(xué)生涯變得更加從容,自信。

托福黃金口語80題及答案:Which one do you prefer

34、學(xué)生放假時(shí)應(yīng)該干什么?

Students might have many choices to spend a vacation as long as they can make the vacation time interesting or helpful. For example, you can visit your families or friends, go to concerts or do many other things for relaxation. You can also plan a trip to the city or somewhere you are longing for, which will help to broaden your view and knowledge. Furthermore, you can also choose to have a vacation internship, and the experience will increase your income as well as make you familiar with the society. So there is never lack of choices.

35、學(xué)生應(yīng)該穿校服么?

I consider that students should not have to wear the school uniforms. First of all, young people often express their feelings through the clothing that they wear. Uniforms will take away this form of expression. Moreover, I think that our school uniforms are too traditional, especially in colors and styles. In summer, girls must wear skirts but I like trousers. In addition,, the weather change every moment. Students cannot adapt to the environment wearing one or two uniforms.

36、他人遇到困難應(yīng)該立馬幫助還是考慮好了在幫助?

I definitely agree that one should observe before helping others when there is a danger. Firstly, you must keep a clear mind if you are able

to help solving the emergency, otherwise you may do nothing but even put yourself in danger. For example, if the rescue needs more people or other tools, you should stop and think about where to get them. In addition, some imprudent actions may even deteriorate the situation. If you move a patient with heart attacking frequently, it can even cause death. So I think one should observe before helping others.

37、人們是否應(yīng)該一直說真話?

I don’t agree that people should always tell the truth. Though honesty is one of the most important qualities of a human being, it’s better to tell a white lie sometimes. Two years ago, my families suffered terribly from the death of my little brother. My mother covered the truth to my

grandparents and told them that my little brother went to take military duty because my grandparents are too old to accept the brutal fact. Until now, they have no doubt that their little grandson is in an army and they had a happy life every day until their time came.

38、應(yīng)該通過第一感覺判斷一個人還是要通過長時(shí)間的觀察?

I don’t agree that people can judge a person by the appearance at the first glance. In the famous novel Pride and Prejudice, Miss Elizabeth considered that Mr.Darcy was an offish and arrogant man when she first met him. Finally, she realized that she was totally wrong when Mr.Darcy helped her solve her sister’s wedding problem and hold her family

reputation. In fact, Mr.Darcy was so cool and didn’t know how to express his feelings. Similar things often occur in our daily life. Therefore, it is hard to judge a person by the appearance at first glance.

39、收到一大筆錢你會怎么花?是 practical purpose 還是 for fun?

If I receive a large amount of money, I would like to buy a practical thing like a piano so I could learn how to play it. First of all, learning how to play a piano is a long-term process, that is to say, it is a nice method to strengthen willpower. Moreover, learning it can also make me understand

music better and cultivate my emotional intelligence. In addition, the biggest dream in my childhood is that I can perform a melody for my friends in a party. That’s cool, isn’t it?

40、喜歡與家人朋友用什么方式交流?書信,電話,郵件?為什么?

I usually communicate with family or friends by telephone. Firstly of all, I feel more close to my family or friends by directly talking to them. Hearing their voices gives me a sense of intimacy, especially for a student far away from home. Furthermore, it’s more efficient to communicate by telephone. I can directly describe my life and receive information about my family or friends in just several minutes, while transferring information by letter or e-mail cost time and energy. So I’d like to

choose telephone.

41、人應(yīng)該享受人生還是匆匆的度過人生?

I don’t support having a relaxed and unhurried life. First of all, pressure engenders impetus. If you always keep living a relaxed life, you can learn nothing and even find life tedious, because you have no idea what you are living for. Furthermore, it’s impossible for one to be relaxed forever. Life is full of chances and challenges. If you are used to an invariable and easygoing life style, you’ll be not able to deal with the chances or emergencies in your life. That’s why I oppose the relaxed and unhurried life style.

42、旅行時(shí)喜歡直接到目的地還是欣賞沿途的風(fēng)景?

Well, I prefer also enjoy the view on our way. First of all, I think my purpose to travel is to enjoy the beautiful scenery, whatever at the destination or on the way, so we should also spend time viewing the scenery on the way if they are beautiful and worth to see. Second, we could make our trip full of surprise, because we can’t predict whether there is beautiful scenery on the way, and if we find some place wonderful on my way, it must be a huge surprise for me, and it must be better than only going to the destination. All in all, I prefer enjoying the view on our way.

43、應(yīng)該保留古建筑還是拆除古建筑?

I think old buildings should be protected and the reasons behind my view are many. First, old buildings present a place’s history, tradition, local custom and even some unique character. They were designed to be preserved as they were in early times. They serve as a mirror ro remind modern people of their past that they should be proud of.

Second, people can make money because most old buildings are tourist attractions which attract tourists from all over the world. If they do not exist any more, visitors might go back with regret. In addition,

tourism is always a big support to economy. Therefore, we could try to bring the funding into the budget to do whatever is necessary.

44、遇到困難時(shí),喜歡獨(dú)自依靠經(jīng)驗(yàn)解決還是聽取家人朋友的意見?

I think it’s more important to learn from personal experience, although advices from others are helpful and sometimes necessary. First of all, when you have problems or get into a dilemma, you are the person most familiar with what you really want and it’ll promote you to develop the ability to solve. Advices from others may be just the opposite with your expectation. In addition, more personal experience will make one more mature and capable. You can realize the society more comprehensive and objective. So I’d like to learn from personal experience.

45、我喜歡住在哪?森林?沙漠還是平原?

I do prefer to live on the plain. My favorite place is the Lianfeng Mountain Park, which locates the small Bei Daihe city east of China, abut against Bohai Sea. You can enjoy the fresh air among the brushy trees as well as the euphonic birds’ singing. More amazingly, it doesn’t take long to go to the seaside. Just imagine the blue sky and ocean together with the beautiful sunshine on the beach. Furthermore, I like to collect rainbow seashells on the beach. More important, on the seaside I happened to make friends with a pretty and kind girl with the same favor for seashells. She gave me some heart-shaped seashells, which are very unique, as a remembrance. The life in the small city is really interesting andmemorable.

托福口語高分的3個學(xué)習(xí)方法

1、語音語調(diào)-用則立,不用則廢

語音語調(diào)這個技術(shù)對于母語非英語又不在英語國家生活的我們來說,是需要日日維持的。建議大家至少每天聽聽英文電臺或者電視劇,興致所至可以跟著說兩句。就算我們的發(fā)音正確率提高了很多,語調(diào)則是相對容易忘記的。

大家肯定都清楚,美語的發(fā)音方式和中文差異很大。發(fā)音方法更需底氣,咬字更為圓潤,并且口型更加夸張,可能會另一些較內(nèi)向的同學(xué)感到稍稍不好意思。如果缺少日常的維護(hù)和練習(xí),我們會漸漸不熟悉這種發(fā)音和咬字方式。

所以請記住,當(dāng)你領(lǐng)悟到了正確的語調(diào)之后,為自己增加接觸和使用機(jī)會,別讓他退化。

2、選什么托??谡Z資料?

建議大家遵從兩個原則:1,涉及校園和課堂兩種場景的;2,詞匯量不在托福詞匯量之下的。

托福口語和聽力都是不錯的材料。

除此之外,VOA,還有一些美國iTunes商店的廣播都可以下來聽,內(nèi)容較托福更為廣泛,可能涉及時(shí)事,政治,經(jīng)濟(jì)等等。廣播,例如潮人達(dá)人都愛的 Monocle,將帶給你大量的地道美語表達(dá),和流暢大方的表述風(fēng)格。模仿他們!如果這些面向美國群眾的電臺你都可以聽懂大半,那么面向外國人的,語速實(shí)則偏慢的托??谡Z綜合題就是小case了。

因此,千萬不要在掌握了較簡單的內(nèi)容后不去挑戰(zhàn)難度更高的美國電臺節(jié)目等,你將收獲的不僅僅是詞匯量和平日課堂難以接觸的地道表達(dá),還有對文化的理解,自信,和impress托福考官的潛力。

3、跟讀復(fù)述的定義?

聽一句task 3的對話,pause, 復(fù)述剛才這句話。如果你有一個詞漏聽了,或者一個發(fā)音把握不好,都不算過。完成一篇文章的跟讀復(fù)述就是詞一個不落,音一個不錯。如果前幾次沒有做好,不要?dú)怵H,想想美國人跟讀復(fù)述中文材料,那是沒有百遍以上絕對下不來。

當(dāng)你覺得托??谡Z練習(xí)時(shí)基本沒有錯誤時(shí),找出這篇文章的文稿,模仿聽力材料的語速,讀一遍并錄下來。聽聽自己的和錄音有哪些差別,是否長短輕重仍然off,抑揚(yáng)頓挫仍然不地道?請記住,得過且過是不適合跟讀復(fù)述的態(tài)度;作為外國人我們本來就對英文的發(fā)音不夠敏感,那么盡力模仿每一個細(xì)節(jié)才是提升自己語音面貌的途徑。如此跟讀復(fù)述的好處就是既鍛煉了聽力,又練習(xí)了發(fā)音,還順便加深了對詞匯和句型的掌握。其實(shí),和我們小時(shí)候背誦新概念是差不多的道理。

在完成一篇練習(xí)之后,聽聽自己語音優(yōu)美,語速適中的“朗誦”,你一定會覺得辛苦都是值得的。如果你還想要更多的挑戰(zhàn),拿這個錄音給小伙伴并告訴它們這是托福聽力原文,看看他們是否會戳破你?
