对于国内很多同学来说,托福口语大概就是托福考试中一道过不去的坎。
你说托福口语简单,确实也可以说是“简单”。它一共就四道题目,每一道题目的形式都是固定的。不管你基础再弱,随随便便去考一下,也能拿到十来分。
可是你要说它难,也确实很难。基础比较弱的同学想拿到18分以上都得使出浑身解数,而许多本来英语很好,听力阅读都能拿到28,29甚至满分的同学,口语怎么也上不了25分。
今天我们就来聊聊独立口语部分该怎么答才能达到高分水准?
首先我们来看独立口语的整体答题步骤:
第一步:电脑读题的时候申请题目,A/D题型审1点,Paired-choice 题型审3点。
第二步:15秒准备时间处理O12(opinion, point 1, point 2),若只想出 opinion,答题时只能 improvise,风险极大;若只想出1个 point托福口语答题模板,即为单核心1+7拓展;若想出2个 points,即为双核心1+3+1+3拓展。
第三步:根据保3分心态或者满分心态答题,两者区别很大,请见例题。
例 题:
Do you agree or disagree that people from simple and ordinary background can lead a person to becoming the best government leader?
例题参考答案
保3分的答题技巧:会说什么说什么。即先看自己储备的模板或者段子哪些能够套用托福口语答题模板,再选择观点。
Point:模板+知识
Opinion:同意
参考思路:
我同意这个说法,比如我的邻居Steven,他只是一个普通人,无权无势,因此他更加重视学习,他相信:“知识是最强大的力量…(此处套用段子)”。所以后来他成为了最棒的乌鲁木齐市长。
满分答题技巧:想说什么说什么。即表达心中真实所想,单或双核心展开,难点是对于英文实力和知识储备要求较高。
Point:历史上的大多数领导人都不是平民出身
Opinion:不同意
参考答案:
After carefully considering the question, I would say that I disagree that coming from a simple background can lead a person to becoming the best government leader, because the historical facts are just the opposite.
Throughout history, great leaders are too many toenumerate, but a few of them have or had a simple background. For example, the first president of the United States, George Washington, was a rich land owner, a brave soldier and a smart entrepreneur. And Theodore Roosevelt was born into a great family that has been around for more than 3 centuries.
So my point is, before becoming the best government leader, you need a stage to perform. However, only those with strong backgrounds can have such a chance.
