新托福口语:鬼门关变凯旋门

如今,托福iBT考试已将口语能力的考核加入,而且分值和阅读、听力、写作对等。这就使得以前只关注读写听的考生不得不花时间和精力来准备口语部分。据调查统计,考生各部分的成绩排列从阅读、听力、写作到口语依次降低,口语的分数在各部分中通常是最低的。这个现象在考生中引起的巨大的恐慌。 另一种状况是,即便是平时自认为口语能力不错,听力能力也很好的同学,也会对自己最后较低的口语成绩感到不解。于是口语部分的考核就变得更加令人琢磨不透了。ETS 对口语部分的评判标准定得也相对模糊,从某种意义说,不能提供给考生清晰的指导。这样一来,口语能力差的同学怕考试,口语能力好的同学也对之没有太大信心,口语部分的考核似乎成了考生们的“鬼门关”。

笔者在执教托福口语课程的过程中发现,目前大多数考生对“口语好”的定义似乎都是“说得相对流利,发音比较准确,语速不会太慢”。这无可厚非。然而,刚才提到的准则仅仅只是“口语好”的外包装,大家需要关注的更重要的是说话的“实效性”,即思维逻辑,语言组织和词句质量。

我觉得没有必要过多提醒大家关于语言“外包装”的问题,因为这绝对是大家注重的方面,所以在口语强化班里的同学基本都有练习过或是系统学习过发音,这很叫人欣慰。可是,大家一定要注意,iBT的口语是电脑录音,评判者是通过听录音来做分数评估的,所以,“说得快”未必是件好事,说得清楚才是重点。考虑到评卷者的“听觉疲劳”,说话的“断句”和重点词汇在重音和语调上的突出,则是有效传达信息的关键。所以同学们不要一味求快,而要注意断句,语调和重音。看看下面的例子: The Great Wall was the greatest man-made military defense structure in ancient China.

这是一个在口语表述当中很上档次的句子,但如果大家把他一口气读完的话,这个句子的美感就体现不出来了,而且在录音的情况下很可能还会让评卷者无法听清楚。于是我们需要借助短句和重音来表达,下面我用/作为断句的标志,用〉来点明重音,于是我们可以这样来处理这个句子:

The Great Wall〉/was the greatest /man-made military defense structure〉/in ancient China.

大家可以试着读一读这个句子。断句并可以是稍稍停顿,或者是拉长词的读音, 我们在wall 的时候拉长读音,在greatest和structure后稍作停顿,于是这个句子听起来就更加容易理解,因为我们把句子的意群The Great Wall、was the greatest、man-made military defense structure、in ancient China划开了。补充一点,这样的口语听来更上档次。 所以在这里,笔者想提醒大家是,为了使表达效果更好,是语言听起来更加悦耳,我们不但要注意发音,还要注意说话时的断句和重音。

这是语言的外包装,但做好了这一切是绝对不够的。正如每个人在打开美丽的包装盒时所期待的是盒子里面更加诱人的礼物一样,每个考官在悦耳的声音背后更想想吸纳入耳的绝对是有组织,有意义的词句。所以另一重对语言的要求也接踵而至,即说话的 “实效性”:思维逻辑,语言组织和词句质量。

在第一和第二题的独立口语任务中,大家需要作的是就自己的经历或向法来回答一些问题。题目主要涉及日常生活和一些社会现象,准备时间15秒,答题时间45秒。这类型考试的形式和面试很相似。15秒的准备时间形如虚设,根本无法让考生绘制一个好的答案。大家都知道,要想在面试中表现得好,事先必须有所准备,同理,要想在这两个题目上得高分,预先的素材准备时必不可少的。正所谓:

有备无患,胸有成竹。

信心百倍,微笑说话。

我们先来看看关于如下题目的两种答案:

What is you favorite place for reading?

Answer 1:

I think my favorite place for reading is the library. First because in the library, many students are reading and you will read with them. Second because in the library, you can get many books easily, so you can get to the information quickly. En … so I like to read in the library.

Answer 2:

Unlike many people, my favorite place for reading is the park. I just like the atmosphere. Reading is tiring, and when I feel tired, I can look up from the book and see people jogging on the path and boating on the lake. Then I feel relaxed. Still, when your eyes feel tired, there are many green trees and lawns to give them a good rest. In the park, you can see many old people taking their beloved birds and dogs for a walk. This gives me inspirations. Indeed, I like to read in parks rather than in libraries or classrooms.

大家一比较就会觉得,前者了无生趣,机械死板,内容单薄;而后者新颖独特,语言丰富,内容翔实。我要求学学员在学习完毕之后能答出类似后者质量的答案,但在15秒的时间内准备出后面的答案对大多数同学来说是不现实的,而如果提前有所准备,情况就大为不同。于是第一和第二题的信心来自提前的准备。 但考生又会有疑问,题目范围如此之广,涉题领域如此之大,怎么下手去准备呢?题目有无数,准备题目自然不是上策,而准备“资料库”,学会“借题发挥”则不一样,定会事半功倍,效果非凡。于是第一和第二题的成败关键就在于资料库的搭建和“转话”技巧的培养。
