如何突破托福口语18分

托福口语一直可能是中国考生的短板考试项目，很多考生其它部分的考试成绩都不错，但是就是托福口语成绩拖了后腿。那么托福口语考试真的就没有救了吗?其实只要你总结好托福口语考试的趋势和重难点，那么想要托福口语提分还是很容易的。

如何突破托福口语18分

纵观近些年中国托福考生的口语平均分，无一例外都只有18分。我们的口语水平真的就是18分么，显然不是!事实上，中国学生的发音，在全亚洲是数一数二的，但10年印度托福考生的口语平均分是21，全球学生的口语平均分是19.9分!究其原因，是我们的同学不喜欢练口语，不喜欢备考口语。大家总觉得Reading、Listening与Writing是实实在在的题目，而口语的练习感觉虚无缥缈。

事实上考过的同学便知道，虽然口语是最不容易轻易拿高分的，但是口语项绝对是最好拿分的。一般来讲，只要Task 1-6坚持说下来，哪怕作答很不流利，哪怕信息有很多错误，14、15分都是可以轻松得到的，而口语其实要的是一种强化过的熟练状态，所以每天哪怕只拿出半个小时“接触”口语，日复一日，也一定、确定以及肯定有效!

托福口语为什么这么难

1. 细节变得更多：

特别是Task3这种校园话题，在conversation中，男生和女生闲聊的内容会更多些，personal information就会变得更多，记笔记的时候就会更忙。

2. 笔记制胜

平时练习的时候大家可能没有感觉，但是到了考场就会有一种突如其来的孤独感：文本，听力原文什么都没有，只有笔记和自己相依为命。

所以笔记是非常非常重要的。

3. 不同task的focus：

Task3： 细节

Task4： 故事主干

Task5： 个人原因阐述

Task6： 两个例子的完整性

在记笔记的时候，每一个task的侧重点都会有不同，请同学们一定注意。

尤其是task6，切忌狂记，一定要有选择性的去记笔记。

这个是2015年6月份的一道考题

题目

Using the examples from the lecture, explain two ways the railroad system changed business in the United States.

部分原文：

Ok, so we’ve been talking about various factors that have changed the United States’ economy. One especially important factor is the development of railroads. When the railroad system expended to almost the US, it fundamentally changed the way business perform in this country.

For one thing, it expanded and the railroad enable companies to start selling their goods to all of the country. Since trains could now transport merchandise all over US, companies could now sell good to customers pretty much anywhere of the country.

For example. There was a big company that sold quartz. The company started in a big city. And before the development of railroad, the company could only sell its quartz to people living in or near the city. But when the railroad expanded, the company could load their quartz on trains and have it delivered to all parts of the country.

第一段有没有同学很想不由自主记笔记的?但是你记完了就会发现：没有任何用!因为第一段是背景知识的交代和细节阐示。所以第一段基本上：不用记!

那从哪里开始?第二段!因为从第二段开始，professor才开始详细讲述railroad给美国经济带来的实际性的好处，所以，第二段才有关键信息涵盖在内。

以上是口语笔记的一些最基本的技巧，大家可以在平时练习中作为参考。
