托福口语独立部分答题技巧

托福口语独立部分答题技巧

托福口语考试采用的也是机考的方式，虽然很大同学不适应，但是在复习的时候，还是要注重这部分的备考。在机考考试中，同学们还是需要掌握一些答题的技巧，辅助我们更好的完成考试内容。

托福口语一共分为6个部分，分别为Task 1，Task 2，Task 3，Task4，Task5和Task6。其中，Task 1和Task 2是独立口语，题目会直接显示在屏幕上面，耳机里面会有人读该题目，然后给你时间去准备，之后录音答题;Task 3和Task4则是需要你先阅读一篇文章，然后耳机里面会有对话，再给你时间准备，最后再进行录音答题;Task5和Task6则是在Introduction之后直接就会有听力对话在耳机里面，之后给你时间准备答题，最后进行录音答题。这里着重讲一下独立口语部分，也就是Task 1和Task 2。

在Task 1中，会问考生一个直接的问题，这个问题一般都是关于考生日常生活以及个人偏好方面的。考生有15秒的时间准备，45秒的时间回答。对于这类问题，考生可以进行自由选择自己的答案，比如：“你喜欢什么食物?”“人们为什么旅行?”给出自己的回答和理由即可。问答问题可以遵循以下步骤：

Step 1：阅读提示

Step 2：陈述自己的观点，给出自己的答案，如果需要进行描述的话，再进行描述。

Step 3：给出自己的理由，进行进一步说明

Step 4：给出例子或者细节，对自己的理由进行支撑

Step 5：总结自己的观点

为了方便大家理解，这里给出一个回答样例：

Prompt: Why do people travel? Develop your opinion using examples and reasons.

Sample Response:

[State your opinion] Personally, I like travelling because it is a learning experience.

[Supporting Details] For example, last year I went to Manhattan. I visited many famous places like the Met and Radio City Music Hall. The most interesting place was Ground Zero. Ground Zero is where the World Trade Center once stood.

Now, it’s nothing but a big hole. On TV it doesn’t look so big. But seeing it in person, I had no idea it was so huge. It’s like a big hole in the heart of the city. Looking at it made me realize that sometimes you just have to see

things with your own eyes. That way you can understand what really happened.

[Conclusion] For those reasons, travelling to Manhattan was definitely a great learning experience for me.

Task 2的时间与Task是相同的，但是Task 2 的题目跟Task 1是有一些区别的，题目是多选题目，一般都会给两个选项让考生去选择回答。例如：Exercising reduces stress. Do you agree or disagree? Develop your opinion using examples and reasons. 这道题目就是让考生选择同意还是不同意“锻炼能够减压”这个观点。针对Task 2这个类型的题目，我们就可以这样去进行头脑风暴。

Step 1：阅读提示

Step 2：选择其中一个观点，如果需要进行描述的话，再进行描述。

Step 3：给出理由1，然后给出相应的例子或者细节信息

Step 4：给出理由2，然后给出相应的例子或者细节信息

Step 5：总结自己的观点

我们可以看出，Task 2当中，一般需要我们给两个理由和例句去支撑我们的论点，所以这个就需要我们在准备时间里多想一个理由和例子了。这样，我们的答案也会更加符合标准，更加丰富。【由于篇幅原因，这里就不举例说明了】

托福口语怎么提升连贯性

对于托福考生而言，流利的口语是我们必须具备的。但是在考试之初，并不是所有的同学都能够达到流利的效果。那么在复习的过程中，我们应该怎么备考，怎样练习，才能达到这样的效果呢?下面让我们一起来看看具体的内容吧!

首先我们要了解表达两个句子关系的方法：

其中一种方法就是所谓的明连接，主要体现在形式上：就是利用because, as, while, if, however, therefore, although, similarly, consequently, nevertheless，first和 second等连词或者副词表达因果，并列和转折等关系。

另一种方法则是暗连接，主要体现在语义上： 通过使用指示代词、人称代词等对前一句中出现过的内容进行指代，或者对前一句话中出现的关键词进行转述，解释，从而形成自然的承接关系。

我们看下面一则故事的节选：Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention.

这则故事语法准确，内容充实，但是在连贯性上略逊一筹。我们尝试通过明连接和暗连接两种方法来润色该文章。

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat there. The play was very interesting，but I did not enjoy it. It is because a young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry with them for I could not hear the actors. I turned round and looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention to me.

画红的地方就是使用了明连接和暗连接的地方，对照原文，文章的连贯性有了较大的改善，读起来更加顺畅。

托福口语的回答可以看作是一个个的argument，对于连贯性的要求更高。除了句子之间要有联系以外，我们还要注意到段与段之间的联系。通常我们用总分【一个主题，两个分论点，每个分论点后面加例子】的结构来回答。主题句中表明观点后可以加上because，for two reasons 表明和后面两段话的因果关系。

而两个分论点前面可以用first和second这样的序数词来表示两段的并列关系，也可以在两段之间加上表示递进关系的what‘s more，further more， moreover等词。此外每个分论点的例子要在语义上【暗连接】对于分论点进行支持。

比如该题为：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In my view, people sometimes should do things that they don’t enjoy for two reasons:

In my view, people sometimes should do things that they don’t enjoy for two reasons: First, they can learn something new from it.

For example, when I was a senior high school student, I was asked to play a role in a play. I had never done that before and I didn’t want to do it. However, from that I gained a lot of experience about how to perform【呼应分论点一】.

Second, people may find that the things they don’t want to do are actually interesting. For example, when I was preparing for that play, I found that it was a lot of fun to learn my lines and perform with a large group of people. Because of this, I think doing things that I don’t like may turn out to be a good experience【此句呼应分论点二】.
