1. Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.【05. 11.19考题】

Sample answer：

The book that I think is the most useful is OG， Official Guide for new TOEFL. I‘m a book lover and have lots and lots of collections. But OG is of the greatest use ‘cause I’m taking TOEFL Test， which is a must for a student who is gonna finish his or her overseas study in America. Not only does it give the brief introduction of the test， but it also provides test candidates with practical tips. On the other hand， some basics of English language are offered following the main parts， which is very helpful for those who don‘’‘’t have a good command of English. Most of all， it helps me get well prepared for TOEFL iBT and improve my performance on the four skills as well. This definitely leads to the academic success in my future study. That‘’‘’s why I think OG is the most useful book for me.

2. Which do you like to read， magazines， novels or poems? And why? 【06. 2.3; 06. 10.28; 07. 1.6考题】

Sample answer：

I prefer magazines to fictions or poems， especially monthly magazines ‘cause they are like colorful flowers in a garden.They are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.

My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn‘’‘’t just stick to the same writers and trends. The presentation， theme， and subjects should vary to grab the interest of readers. And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas. I read five or six magazines per month and I buy two magazines regularly---fashion and beauty magazines， ‘cause they are worth reading for their entertainment news and fashion and beauty tips. Sometimes the personality profiles【个人档案/简介】 of successful business icons【这里指“人物”】 are also fun to read.

3. Describe the most efficient transportation in your country. 【06. 4.8; 06. 12.15考题】

Sample answer：

The most effective means of transport， I‘’‘’d say， is bicycle， an indispensable companion of most Chinese even though the private cars are on the rise. Each Chinese family possesses at least one bicycle and it is especially popular among college students. Compared with cars， bicycle still has some advantages. First， it is very convenient due to its small size. It does not need special parking space and can be parked almost everywhere. Second， driven by man power， it doesn‘’‘’t need fuel， so it has nothing to do with air pollution and energy crisis. Third， most people can afford a bicycle， but not a more advanced car. With so many advantages， bicycle will remain to be the most effective means of transport in China in the following years.

4. Describe one of the most important inventions in the last 100 years. 【06. 4.28; 07.3.10考题】

Sample answer：

Some people might think computer is one of the most important inventions in the last century. But I‘d say television. Since the invention of TV， human history has started a new page. First， TV allows people to learn about what’s going on in the world. With such information， they are able to get a better understanding of the world they live in. What‘s more， TV provides a lot of interesting programs that many people enjoy after a long day’‘s work. Its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and more relaxed. Most important of all， Television has a great influence on the way people think and talk.

5. If you get a chance to choose a job， what will you do? 【06. 7.29; 06. 11.18; 08.3.2考题】

Sample answer：

If I could freely choose any job， I would choose a job where I could do something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. Definitely it would be something helping people.

Teaching of course is sort of that kind of job---- if you do it properly you can certainly help people. Traditionally in China teachers have been very respected; we have a saying a teacher for a day is a father for life.

Nowadays， attitudes are changing， and perhaps people are more realistic. But my dream isn’t changing. I wouldn‘’‘’t be helping them materially but I could give them a lot of pleasure and lighten their days.

I love teaching and I want it to be my whole life‘s career ‘cause I feel I really am contributing something to people’s lives， to help them.

托福口语答题技巧

托福口语的6个task答题都有各自的要点，大家一定要注意。

在回答Task 1的时候要首先讲明主题句，然后列出三点理由，举一个例子论证即可，例子尽量具体。Task2要用主题句表明倾向，然后叙述两点理由，最后可以做一个总结句。Task3可以使用三段式模板，但是要注意把握时间，阅读段落和听力段落描述时间比例约为1:2。Task4先概括文章段落大意，听力段落重点描述，如果阅读段落中有提到的内容，但在听力段落中没有提到，可以不说。Task5对于前半部分的问题描述可以使用模板快速回答，描述个人意见时可以选择一条或两条理由，只要描述足够充分就可以。Task6答题时最为重要的是描述清楚事情的起因和结果以及主要特征，描述过程中不要遗漏重点信息，也不要出现描述错误的情况。

TOBE SOMEONE

TOBE SOMEWHERE

TOBE POSSIBLE

语调轻松，不要像背书

托福口语考试是模仿交流的考试，所以一定不要给人一种你在背书的感觉。答题时要当成普通聊天，也可以加一些口头语，比如“you know”、“I mean”等等。这样的口头词语可以在你突然卡顿的时候，给你短暂的思考时间，也会让你的回答听起来更加流利和顺畅。回答期间尽量不要突然停住不说话，流利度很重要。

04

TOBE SOMEONE

TOBE SOMEWHERE

TOBE POSSIBLE

内容丰满，自圆其说

口语答题时，一定要注意答案的丰满度，比如，举例论证的时候，一定要将例子表达完整。逻辑关系明确，如果分点回答，可以用“first，second，third”等词汇过渡，让自己的回答听起来条理清晰。答题时分论据一定要和自己的主题论据一致，能够自圆其说，切忌前后互不照应。

平时多练习

托福口语的平时需要多练习，如果平时没有打好基础，那么考试中的技巧再好也是没有用的。另外，口语的练习离不开老师的指导，要及时根据老师的建议强化自己的薄弱环节。另外，平时多去用英语交流的场合练习口语。

托福口语基础差怎么备考

针对口语基础薄弱的同学

首先我们帮助大家找到自己平时在口语练习或是考试中容易遇到的问题和错误，然后针对这些问题和错误给出相应的Tips和建议，希望能帮助大家解决这些问题和错误。

口语基础比较薄弱的同学，经常碰到的第一种问题是，口语题目或者是综合题的题目，包括综合题的阅读和听力，会出现看不懂和听不懂的现象。

先给大家举一个例子：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Celebrities are good models for young people.

有些同学对于这个题材会出现看不懂的情况，因为这道题里面有一个他不认识的单词，Celebrity。这个单词的意思是明星，这道题的意思是你是否同意明星对于年轻人来说是一个好的榜样。这样的一个句子应该怎么说呢?

口语基础比较薄弱的同学，常见的另外一个问题就是发音。我再给大家举几个例子，比如说th这个发音，我给大家4个单词，大家可以尝试着去练一下。第一个是闪电，第二个是星期四，第三个是扔，第四个是那个。单词的正确读音是什么呢?大家有没有发现，很多同学都会把th的发音发成丝，而它正确的发音应该是/θ/。大家要把自己的舌头放在自己的牙齿中间，然后让气从中间穿出去，这样子才能正确的发出这个音。还有很多同学都还会有重读和最后加拖音的错误。

我们先来看第一类问题，很多同学口语题目、综合题目和阅读题看不懂、听不懂，或者是chinglish现象非常常见，你的问题说白了是词汇量不够多，那么第一个Tips就是我们要累积更多的词汇、词组和表达。

那我们怎么样才能累积更多的词汇组合表达呢?这里给大家两种方式，第一种是累积词汇的方式，就是将词汇书上的单词一个一个背出来，累积单词我个人认为是没有捷径可走的，只能一个一个去背。除了词汇以外，我们还需要累积词组和表达，我们可以通过托福线上练习的原文，比如听力和口语都能找到对应的原文，从原文中提取我们需要累积的词组和表达。

第二种可以使用一些native speaker的input，比如喜欢看体育的同学可以去下载一个app，叫做ESPN。喜欢使用social media的同学，可以去试试一个网站叫做BuzzFeed，大家可以读读上面的文章，或者是听新闻，都可以从中得到更多的词汇词组和表达，还有些同学喜欢看美剧，刷美剧也是个很好的方式。

针对同学们的发音问题，我们就给出第2个Tips，那就是correct your pronunciation。我给出了两种纠正发音的方式，第一种是比较传统的，根据词典的发音去练习每一个单词、词组、表达的发音，一个一个的纠正，然后一个一个的修改。第二种方式则是我个人比较推荐的，也是比较活泼的一种方式，就是跟native speaker比较和模仿，并且纠正我们的错误，那么这样的方式让我们可以利用shadowing跟读来实现。
