托福口语六道题哪个最难呢?

同学们的答案,会随着他们接触托福以及练习的时间长度而变化:很多刚开始接触托福口语的同学都会说学术类题目Task4和Task6比较难,那是因为大家觉得听力的Lecture比较晦涩难懂;随着后期大家通过精听训练等提升了听力能力之后,大部分同学反而觉得独立口语Task1和Task2比较难了了。

相比于有着比较明显“套路”的综合口语,千变万化的独立口语才是真正的难题,也不同雅思口语有着相对应的题库,托福独立口语实在是没有“套路”可循。很多同学都会说15秒的准备时间太短思路想不出来,或者说有一点思路却不知道如何去延伸,以及参考资料和题目数量太多了没时间去刷题等等。

如何实现托福口语6个task之间的互帮互助?

其实资料在“精”而不是“多”,就独立口语而言,参考性的资料就是TPO和历年真题了。

托福口语6个题目其实是有机统一,各个题目之间有着千丝万缕的联系,可以说,综合口语(Task3-6)就是独立口语(Task1-2)的素材库来源!吃透综合口语,对于提升独立口语意义重大!

一句话:练完综合口语,总结优质素材,串联独立口语!

托福口语题目的正确练习方式!

接下来我们就来看看各个任务之间的相互关系

【经典例题1】今年1月28号大陆考区的Task2:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Professors should not allow students to record their lectures in class. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

步:审题。首先读题之后我们知道这是一道表明立场的题。

第二步:展开论证。就平时上课的情况而言,大多数同学都会选择同意在课堂上录音,并进一步去论证在课堂上录音的好处,比如说可以帮助学生更好地掌握课堂上的知识,举例教授上课语速太快或者课前没有做好预习等。这个点是比较容易想出来的。而如果这个例子我们展开的不充分的话,我们就需要再加一个点进行支撑。

第三步:思路串联。将托福口语Task5的思路和例子运用到该题目的论证过程。

托福口语第五题有一种情况分类叫做时间冲突,通常都是一个学生在同一时间有两件事需要去完成,比如学生明天早上需要去机场接来看望他的家长,与此同时,他有一节历史课,其实这也可以成为这道题的距离素材,当我们有scheduling conflict的时候,我们可以让同学帮忙在课堂上录音然后在课后补上这节课,从而就不会落下这节课了,那么这样我们就从第五题的内容中,总结出了一个独立口语的例子。

【经典例题2】

这是2018年3月11号的一道题大陆考区的Task1:

What do you think about smartphones to students? Here are three benefits of smartphones to students, which do you think is good to students?

1) Taking photos   2) Listening to music   3) Recording courses

思路串联:这是一道三选一问题,如果在这场考试前同学们认真刷了真题的话,这道题和刚刚1月28号那道题其实是有重叠之处的,我们可以直接选择第三个选项,然后理由和细节和刚刚的就一样了。

【经典例题3】

今年6月2号的一道独立口语题Task1:

In stead of printing books in paper version, the university decides to release only online version of textbooks. Discuss at least an advantage and a disadvantage of this change.

思路串联:

仔细审题之后,我们知道这道题是让我们说用电子课本的一个优势和一个劣势,做过TPO的同学应该记得会对这道题有印象TPO27 Task3的题目叫做Switch to Electronic Textbooks,阅读部分:

The university will begin switching from traditional-bound textbooks to electronic textbooks early next year. University students will be able to download the content of their required textbooks to a reading device and read the material directly from the device’s screen. While the cost of the device is around $200, it is a one-time expense. Considering the rising cost of textbooks, students will save money in the long run since purchasing electronic books for their classes is much less expensive than buying regular textbooks. Furthermore, the university believes the device will be an effective study aid because it is simple to operate and offers features such as highlighting of text and note-taking.

阅读中讲了学校的一个通知,要将传统的课本替换成电子书,并且阐述了两个原因分别是save money和effective, 那我们再来看看听力的文本:

W: Oh, no, did you see this?

M: Yeah, why? You don’t like the idea?

W: Not at all!

M: How come?

W: Well, the cost, for one thing, they are just not being realistic.

M: Even compare to the price of textbooks?

W: Well, sure, textbooks aren’t’cheap, but do you think people are only gonna use one device the whole time they are at university? What happens if yours breaks? You have to buy a new one. Or they come out with some fancy new features. Wouldn't you want to get a new one then?

M: Yeah, I see what you mean. A lot of people would probably want to replace theirs with the latest version.

W: Right! Maybe even every year and that can add up.

M: True, but, don’t you agree it’ll make studying and preparing for classes a lot easier?

W: I don’t think everybody is gonna think it’s so great.

M: What do you mean?

W: Well., it’s only helpful if it’s easy to use and, well, this thing is pretty small. It’s only about 18 or 20 centimeters tall.

M: Oh, really? So that means the screen’s pretty small.

W: Right, and I heard that the key pad or control buttons, they are small, too. So if you have normal-sized fingers, it’s not so easy to select an item or get it to function right, you know, to do stuff like highlighting or underlining.

M: I hadn’t thought of that.

W: So what good are all those fancy features if it’s hard to use them? Besides, I like the old-fashioned way of studying material: writing notes on the page and underlining or highlighting important sections of the book. I’m more comfortable with that.

听力conversation中的女生持反对态度,反对的原因分别是电子设备有可能坏掉或者有新版本出来学生会想要换,这样会花费更多钱,还有一个原因是电子设备的屏幕以及按键都比较小所以不方便,而她更喜欢在传统课本上阅读并且标准。那么这道题其实阅读中就说两个好处而听力中阐述了两个不好,一定会为我们回答6月份那道独立口语提供思路和素材。

【总结】

资料在“精”而不是“多”,希望同学们用好现有的备考材料,认真分析题目,发现不同口语任务之间的关联和共性,就会有事半功倍的效果!
