下面是北纬托福给考生整理的关于托福口语备考讲解,考生擦靠一下,希望可以帮助到考生。
(1)口语是新托福的新增内容,并且成为综合成绩的一部分,使得新托福考试成为一个全面评测考生听、说、读、写四项英语语言技能的考试。以往TSE口语考试非绑定的考试项目,为单独选考,也不计入托福成绩;新增口语测试列入考试:共六道题目,20分钟完成。换算为0-30分后计入总成绩。
(2)考生先听一段对话或演讲,然后再根据所听做出简短的总结,即先听力理解再总
结阐述自己的观点并以口语作答。形式一:前两道题目考生根据特定话题做观点阐述,准备时间15秒,回答问题时间45秒。问题会被朗读出来,同时出现在屏幕上。
形式二:第3、4题为先读短文再听与之相关的课堂演讲,最后回答问题。首先让考生在45秒内阅读一篇短文,一般只含一个自然段,随后短文隐去,播放一段与短文相关的对话或课堂演讲,其长度大约为1分半钟。最后,要求考生根据先前阅读的短文和播放的对话或课堂演讲回答相关问题,考生有30秒钟的准备时间,然后进行60秒钟的回答,考生可以在听录音的过程中做笔记来帮助答题。
形式三:最后两道题目其中一道先听一段对话,另一道听一段演讲材料后再作答。听力材料是情景对话和课堂演讲,其长度大约为1分半钟。考生有20秒钟的准备时间,之后进行60秒钟的回答。
(3)考试为人机对话,考生戴上耳机,通过话筒回答问题,考生的回答经过数码录音,传送到ETS的在线评分系统,进行人工评分;在整个考试过程中可结合所听或所读随时记录以便作答。
托福口语技巧:托福考试的SPEAKING部分共有6个TASKS。每个TASKS都有不同的答题技巧。下面为大家详细介绍各部分答题技巧以及注意事项。
TASK 1
要求考试者在45秒钟之内根据自己的经验讲述一些问题。这些问题可能是有关你自己,你的家庭,你的国家以及一些类似的话题。
例如:
Describe your country’s national anthem or your country’s national flag. Explain how it is used in modern society. Include details and examples.
15 seconds to prepare
45 seconds to speak
Sample Answer:
The Chinese national anthem’s name is "March of the Volunteers". This song was composed by Nieer in 1932. It encouraged the volunteers to fight against the Japanese invasion in the Second World War. In modern Society, we could always hear this song in school, government meeting or some sport games. For instance, if some Chinese athletes win the champions on the Olympic games, we can hear this song.
TASK 2:
根据个人经验表达观点。
经常用到的表达个人观点的句型:
I believe…
I agree with the idea of …
I don’t think…/I think…
I agree that it is important to…
I disagree with the idea of…
I feel…
I support the idea of…
If you ask me…
Some people might say…, but I think…
例如:
Some people think that wildlife does not belong outside of its natural habitat. They do not think that zoos should exist. Others believe that zoos serve an educational purpose that is more important than the rights of the wild animals. Which side of this argument do you support and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.
15 seconds to prepare
45 seconds to speak
Sample Answer:
Well, so zoos. Do they serve a useful purpose? In my opinion they do. I think zoos are important for a couple of different reason. Firstly, they can really inspire people to care about the natural world. Um… when someone makes a personal connection with an animal at the zoo, it can have a profound effect. That person might become interested in the fate of that animal in the wild. That’s the really important role for zoos. Education, I mean. Zoos can inform people about the real dangers of extinction that exists for so many species nowadays, like tigers and rhinos and oh, I don’t know, snow leopards… And the other thing that zoos do that’s really important is that they offer opportunities for breeding endangered species. I just read something about this. A few zoos in Europe had an endangered species of horses in their collection and they bred them. Recently they reintroduced the horses back into their native homeland in Mongolia. So basically, for educational and breeding purposes, I think zoos play a useful role.
TASK 3:
campus based
reading: 一个问题(有时有解决方法)
listening: 一个人解决该问题的意见,以及理由(150-180字,100s)
