    1.托??谡Z備考有什么重點(diǎn)
    托??谡Z的問題在于內(nèi)容空洞,言之無物。所以怎么才能讓自己的托??谡Z內(nèi)容充實(shí)。建議考生把自己的思路、想法列個(gè)小提綱,用筆記來幫助整理思路,切忌大話套話,用實(shí)例支撐觀點(diǎn)。這樣進(jìn)行托福口語練習(xí),并且準(zhǔn)備新托??谡Z材料。
    托福口語考試是對(duì)考生英語素質(zhì)的考察,不僅要求考生會(huì)說,還要能用自己的語言來表達(dá)思想,其評(píng)分更是基于內(nèi)容的邏輯展開和具體細(xì)節(jié)的表述最重要,其次才是流利,發(fā)音能讓人聽懂就可以。
    在平時(shí)的托??谡Z備考中要注意思維邏輯,語言組織和詞句質(zhì)量,可組建一個(gè)資料庫(kù),畢竟15秒的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間太倉(cāng)促,可將回答像寫作文一樣,一字一句的寫下來并修改語病,隨后大聲讀熟,再重新回答問題。
    當(dāng)然,標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的發(fā)音和語音語調(diào)也能為口語考試加分。考生也可將自己的口語表達(dá)錄音,然后與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的美音進(jìn)行對(duì)比,從連讀、元音發(fā)音、停頓等方面進(jìn)行糾正。
    綜合口語任務(wù)的難點(diǎn)在于理解、記錄聽力內(nèi)容,并用自己的話做口語復(fù)述,也就是我們常說的paraphrase (意譯)??梢韵儒憻捵约郝牫?、聽記的能力,然后練習(xí)將記錄的信息用口語自然的表述。
    每道題按此方法反復(fù)練習(xí)幾遍,必會(huì)聽力和口語表達(dá)能力。托??谡Z備考中要注重日常、校園生活場(chǎng)景以及學(xué)術(shù)場(chǎng)景。考生可以就現(xiàn)有的托??谡Z教材為依據(jù),直接對(duì)口語題目中的文稿做出總結(jié)歸納、口語復(fù)述。
    2.托??谡Z的信號(hào)詞
    1.顯示相同信息的信號(hào)詞
    There has been an upsurge of interest in chamber music. Likewise opera is receiving a boost from increased record sales.
    “l(fā)ikewise”這一信號(hào)詞顯示了前面所提到的idea后面還要再一次出現(xiàn)。因此,閱讀時(shí)見到這樣的信號(hào)詞無須放慢閱讀速度。這樣的信號(hào)詞還包括:
    and, furthermore, more, than, that, also, likewise, moreover, in addition, what is more, for instance, for example
    2.顯示思路轉(zhuǎn)折的信號(hào)詞
    I’d like to go but I’m too busy.
    “but”前后是完全不同的信息描述,它向讀者顯示了作者的思路在這里有了轉(zhuǎn)折。閱讀時(shí),碰到這樣的信號(hào)詞我們需放慢閱讀速度,以準(zhǔn)確獲取作者真正想要說明的意思。這類信號(hào)詞還有:
    although, however, on the contrary, but, in spite of, otherwise, despite, nevertheless, yet
    3.顯示因果關(guān)系的信號(hào)詞
    As a result of the pilots’ strike, all flights have had to be cancelled.
    All flights have had to be cancelled as a result of the pilots’ strike.
    所有航班被取消的原因是因?yàn)轱w行員們的罷工;飛行員們的罷工導(dǎo)致了所有的航班不得不被取消。顯示因果關(guān)系的信號(hào)詞還有:
    for, thus, because, for this reason, so, therefore, as, since, consequently
    4.顯示順序的信號(hào)詞
    Internet speeds communication between companies, among co-workers through video-conferences, and among other individuals. First, media companies use the Internet for online news, or to broadcast audio and video, including live radio and television programs, while individuals use the Internet for communication, entertainment, finding information, buying and selling goods and services. Second, the notion of distance disappears thanks to the Internet. People also enjoy instant messaging to exchange text messages or pictures in real time, with real-time video and sound. Finally, scientists and scholars use the Internet to perform research, distribute lecture notes or course materials to students, they communicate with colleagues, and can also publish papers and articles.
    抓住了這樣的信號(hào)詞就把握住了作者敘述的順序,也就分清了相對(duì)獨(dú)立的論據(jù)。這樣的信號(hào)詞包括:
    first, second, third, and so on, then, after, before, next, last, afterward, finally.
    5.表示結(jié)論/總結(jié)的信號(hào)詞
    In conclusion, I would like to say how much I have enjoyed myself today.
    詞組“in conclusion”前面所提到的一些信息將在這里被歸納總結(jié)。讀到帶有這樣的信號(hào)詞或短語的句子時(shí),應(yīng)格外留心注意,它們往往會(huì)向我們提示相關(guān)段落的核心信息。表示結(jié)論或總結(jié)的信號(hào)詞和短語還有:
    as a result, finally, therefore, accordingly, in short, thus, consequently, in conclusion, so, in brief, in a word.

    5.托福口語與雅思口語的對(duì)比
    托福的口語考試因?yàn)闆]有考官的參與,整個(gè)的考察過程更類似于一個(gè)presentation,考生只要圍繞考題進(jìn)行回答,整個(gè)的回答過程都不會(huì)被打擾。
    但是,在雅思口語考試中,側(cè)重進(jìn)行考察的是conversation,即真實(shí)的交流,交談能力。
    我們發(fā)現(xiàn),雅思的口語部分一般由考官來主導(dǎo)考察過程??脊俚淖饔皿w現(xiàn)在兩方面:
    1.當(dāng)考生由于緊張等原因無法發(fā)揮出水平時(shí),考官會(huì)盡量提供幫助,誘導(dǎo)該考生發(fā)揮出真實(shí)的水平。
    2.當(dāng)考生對(duì)考題作了充分的研究準(zhǔn)備,并按照事先準(zhǔn)備的回答流暢的進(jìn)行背誦時(shí),考官會(huì)主動(dòng)打斷該考生的背誦,且有意轉(zhuǎn)換到生僻話題。目的仍然是要考察該考生真實(shí)的英語水平。
    由此可知,在雅思口語考試中,側(cè)重進(jìn)行考察的是conversation,即真實(shí)的交流,交談能力。但是,托福的口語考試與此恰恰相反。因?yàn)闆]有考官的參與,整個(gè)的考察過程更類似于一個(gè)presentation,考生只要圍繞考題進(jìn)行回答,整個(gè)的回答過程都不會(huì)被打擾。這就意味著:提前準(zhǔn)備好回答的模板,完全可以大大減低口語回答的難度。
