托福口语练习材料

1.多记短语，事半功倍

认识一百个单词，你未必能说出一句准确的话;但如果会一个短语套话，你就可能会说出一百句准确的话。道理很简单，短语是英语母语人士长期使用的习惯搭配，是已经搭配好的表意框架，我们拿来直接用，即省力气，又避免了自己造错句的可能性，何乐而不为?

下面举例说明。

例1：当你对一件事情的发生表示“怎么会这样”时，只需要掌握“How come + 【subject + verb】”这个结构，如下所示。

How come you cannot make a decision?【你怎么能做不了决定?】

How come you always question me?【你怎么老质疑我?】

How come we never agree?【我们怎么永远达不成一致?】

例2：当你表示“如果什么情况发生，结果会怎样”时，只需掌握“What if + 【subject + verb】”这个结构，如下所示。

What if someone sees me? 【如果有人看见我怎么办?】

What if no one is home? 【如果没人在家怎么办?】

What if it rains while we are camping?【我们露营时万一下雨了怎么办?】

2.习语累积，会听慎说

学习使用习语需要长期的积累。如果你能够自如使用习语必将大大增加你口语表达的生动性和地道程度。例如，下面几个使用了习语的句子就显得很地道而生动。

例1：I’ve never met John Franklin, but his name rings a bell。

解析：句中的ring a bell跟“门铃响”毫无关系，它的意思是“听起来耳熟”，以后咱们也能酷酷地跟人说：“The name Oslo rings a bell, but I can’t remember where it is。”

例2：She arrived at the reception dressed to kill。

解析：句中的dressed to kill可不是“被打扮得杀气腾腾”的意思，而是指“穿着极为时尚出众以吸引眼球”。

不过，口语刚入门的同学应慎用习语。原因有二：其一，如果你的谈话对象不是英语母语人士，他/她可能听不懂，这就使沟通出现障碍;其二，如果谈话对象为英语母语人士，他会很惊喜，以为你英语水平与他相当，后果是他会使用更多的习语跟你交流，弄得你一头雾水。当然，等习语累积到一定程度时，你就可以想用就用，谁拦着跟谁急!

3.广泛阅读，吸收养分

如果你要想让自己的口语内容具有广度和深度，那就必须进行广泛阅读，从阅读中吸收养分。

有同学会有这样的疑问：文学作品可以帮助提高口语水平吗?回答是：“完全可以。”理由是，通过阅读文学作品，考生可以积累大量的习语。像《圣经》与莎士比亚作品中就含有大量的习语表达，比如由《圣经》而来的“eye for eye, tooth for tooth”【以眼还眼，以牙还牙】和“The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”【心有余而力不足】便是来自于《圣经》;而习语“what’s done is done”【既往不咎】和“Truth will come to light”【真相将大白于天下】就来自于莎士比亚的喜剧作品《威尼斯商人》【TheMerchant of Venice】。

其实阅读杂文小品对提高口语水平也是有帮助的。杂文小品中富含养分，可以借鉴的东西很多，比如广泛的话题、严谨的逻辑和各类表达技巧【数据统计、举例说明、因果论证、比较对比等】。阅读就是力量，求知若渴的你请抓紧时间多阅读英文作品吧!

4.语音语调，清晰即可

英语有各种口音，大概可归纳为以下三类：

①英语母语人士的各类口音，如北美口音、英格兰口音、威尔士口音、澳大利亚口音等;

②以英语为官方语言的国家的口音，如印度口音、新加坡口音、南非口音等;

③以英语为第二语言的国家的口音，如中国口音、日本口音、俄罗斯口音等。追求地道的发音一直同是很多学所狂热追求的，要么想练成标准英伦腔，要么想表现正宗美国味。殊不知，口语的核心是“表达清晰、准确”。正所谓“华丽的外表可以有，但是内涵跟得上才是正道”。
