2.新托福口语task1题目解析
Task 1:
Independent speaking
题目:
How would you like to learn about other cultures if you cannot travel there? Would you like to read books, watch films, or form an online chatting group with local people? Please use details and examples to explain why.
考题解析:
这是Task1中经典的Free-choice题目的Qualities/ Characteristics问题的三选一题目,注意做出选择,并给出合理解释即可,切忌不可给出模棱两可的答案。
参考答题思路:
1、To read books
①亩档I can feel about the amaze of the foreign culture through reading the stories and decription of the foreign country.
②Books endow me with full of imagination and even more than the films do me.
③Books are more accurate than the information I got from the movie and local people since the books are edited and audited by the authors and publishers before being open to the public.
2、To watch the films
①More relaxing than reading books which are quite similar to textbooks or the school assignments that are boring and tiring;
②It provides a more vivid way to get a more direct impression on the foreign culture;
3、To form an online chatting group with local people
①It provides the most updated information about the foreign culture compared with reading the books and watching movies which are written and filmed a while ago;
②It can help to not only improve the foreign language ability but also get a deeper understanding of the real foreign culture since communication with the local people is happening and offers us a real experience of the foreign culture;
难度分析及注意事项:
此题考察考生有关外国文化的话题,考查题型为三选一题型中的文化类话题,难度适中。需要注意的是,有关外国文化的话题是Task1的经典题目,另外,值得注意的是,此题与TPO23的Task1 非常相近,希望引起大家足够的重视!!!
3.新托福口语task2题目解析
Task2:
Independent speaking
题目:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement that class assignments that are handed in after the deadline should always receive lower grades?Please give specific details to support your opinion.
考题解析:
经典Task2 Paired-choice A/D同意与否观点阐述类题目,只需给出观点并给出合理解释,切忌不可给出模棱两可的选择。此题无论选择哪种, 只要给出合理的解释即可,可采用推理与事实论证的方法进行细节扩充。
参考答题思路:
1、Agreement
①It shows a respect to the policy of assignments submission should be on time;
② It will be unfair to those who hand in the class assignments on time or even earlier than the deadline if students who hand in the assignments after the deadline receive the same grades or even higher grades;
③It is a good way to motivate students who cannot hand in the school assignments on time since lower grades can stimulate them to work harder to tackle their timing problem;
2、Disagreement
①Students who cannot submit the paper might have some accidents, which is quite understandable;
②It’s not necessary to use this way to punish students since students are already busy with school work, which may increase more pressure on students;
难度分析及注意事项:
此题是有关学生交作业早晚与分数高低关系的观点阐述类话题,题目难度适中,也是常考话题之一,一般会用到的方法就是对比、举例法、推理解释法。希望考生们对时下比较流行的热点社会话题进行总结并引起足够的重视。
4.托福口语叙述的技巧
叙述性问题常常出现在托福口语部分的第一第二题,通常针对日常生活中常见的人事物提出问题,考生进行描述或表达自己的看法和观点。此类题目更多的是考查考生的思维应对能力。建议考生在回答的过程中,应该注意以下几个方面:
1.尽量按照总分的结构进行叙述,单刀直入,这也是西方人习惯的表达方式。由一句主题句引出观点与中心,让考官能够清晰地得知叙述的主题,从而打下良好的基础。如果在考题中出现了问题,则应该开门见山地回答问题,切入主题,阐明自己的观点,从而为接下来的详细叙述理清层次以及节约时间,如果有多余的时间,则可以再增添一句总结的话语,使叙述详尽完整。
2.在叙述的过程中应该合理地利用逻辑词汇,这样使文章的逻辑顺畅,条理清晰。中国人说话习惯靠上下文去分析句与句的关系,但是西方人不同,他们习惯用逻辑连接词来表达句子关系,如果按照中国人的思维去说英语,在外国人看来就是一堆杂乱无章的句子罗列,这样的分数常常会十分的不好看。论点的叙述,则应该尽量在草稿上简单罗列,讲述时由浅至深,增强逻辑性与条理性。所以,在练习口语的过程中,请一位外教跟踪辅导,为学生纠正口音以及语言习惯等问题。
3.在描述时,应该尽量将抽象的话语具体化,不能很空泛地喊口号做呼吁,这样常常收效甚微。西方人习惯十分具体生动的描述,如描述环境很优美,不应该仅仅说“it''s beautiful outside”,而可以去描述flower,tree,bird等细节,增强生动性。
4.面对十分概括的问题时,许多考生会觉得十分难以开口,只能让时间白白流失,痛失了分数。针对这类问题,托福培训老师会提供了一些常考的口语问题,并给出了详尽的答案,并指出面对这类问题时,就应该将问题缩小到一个具体的事物进行叙述和讨论,缩小问题寻找突破口,这种方法也是所有宽泛问题的应对方式。
5.托福口语考试时间介绍
再分析时间把握之前,我们先来了解下口语考试都考些什么。口语移动6个题目,task1和task2为独立口语,即根据一个familiar topic回答问题,一般来说,准备15秒,答题45秒;task3和task4阅读时长45秒,听力时长1~2分钟,准备30秒,答题60秒task5和task6听力1~2分钟(有时候task6听力近3分钟),准备20秒,答题60秒。口语考试的三个部分,难度逐渐上升。后面的综合口语中还需要速记下要点帮助自己答题。
这类口语题的第二句话通常都是Please include specific examples and details in your explanation. 所以同学们也大可放心的跳过,此处又节约宝贵的几秒钟。综合刚刚说的两个技巧,我们完全可以把一二题的准备时间由15秒延长到25秒甚至更长。接触过口语考试的同学都知道,这多出来的十秒钟可以办成很多事情,可以多想一个分论点,可以多找一个素材,这些对于拿高分或者保中等分,都是至关重要的。
