托福口语怎么练习?方法来了!
新托福口语考试中不仅需要大家口语表达流利,还需要准备一些答题的素材,避免答案空洞无物。今天小编来具体分析一下新托福口语的难点以及练习的技巧。
托福口语怎么练习?方法来了!
口语难点
思考时间短,答题时间长
托福独立口语的思考时间仅有15秒,综合口语思考时间仅30秒。这么短的时间内组织出完整的答案非常困难。托福独立口语的答题时间为45秒,综合口语的答题时间为60秒,看似时间不长,但其实要45秒钟或60秒钟不停顿不磕巴地答完题并非易事。我们可以试着用中文回答托福考试中的问题,你会发现,即便是用中文,也会偶会停顿不连贯。所以不要小看45秒的答题时间,平时要做大量练习才能答好题目。
听力和速记能力
托福口语考试中综合口语考题需要大家听懂听力材料并且能够记下要点。托福口语试题中不仅考察大家的口语表达能力,还要考察大家的英语听力能力和速记能力。这两点也是托福口语中的难点,大家只要把托福听力练好,做口语速记应该问题不大,归纳和复述能力则需要平时多加练习。另外,速记的时候一定要记下听力中的细节确保复述时不遗漏。
练习技巧
我们对托福口语的难点进行分析后,接下来我们要讨论一下,平时练习中如何练好托福口语。托福口语的练习应该首先从基础上做提升,把握英语答题时的节奏感,让自己的英语表达听起来很地道,然后要针对考试来练习,做对应的习题,适应考试的答题节奏和时间。
练就地道口语表达
想要练就地道的表达,不仅要练好发音,还要练习英语表达的逻辑思维。我们生活学习的环境中讲英语的人很少,建议大家多听英语广播,多看英语电影,模仿播音主持和电影演员的发音和表达,让自己的口语听起来更地道,不会很生硬。模仿发音能够帮我们矫正发音,同时建议大家背一些经典台词和经典演讲,学习英文表达习惯。
针对托福考试练口语
托福口语考试分为独立口语和综合口语。练好基本功以后还要做针对托福口语考试的练习。首先要把握好的是托福口语考试的答题时间,独立口语答题时间为45秒,建议大家准备一些各个类型独立口语试题的答题素材,避免临考试时不知道说什么。综合口语的答题时间为60秒,需要大家在平时练习中多做复述练习,能够速记下听力材料中的信息并进行复述。综合口语备考中可以准备一下自己的答题模板,帮助自己快速地组织答案。
避免低级错误
大家在口语表达中一定要注意表达的准确性,注意时态、单复数和人称等等。一些低级错误,我们听起来可能觉得不是什么大问题,但是对于native speaker来说却是非常明显的错误。举个简单的例子:如果考生把“he does”说成了“he do”,“he has”说成“he have”,整句话听起来都会非常怪异。大家在平时练习一定要注意这些错误,口语练习时建议大家将自己的答案录下来,及时听录音纠正表达错误。
新托福口语虽然很难,但只要大家勤加练习一定能攻克难关。托福口语练习中,要先打好基础,然后针对考题做练习,备考期间多积累口语答题素材,注意把握考试时间,考前要准备自己的答题模板。小编预祝大家取得理想的托福成绩。

托福阅读句子插入题找不准放入位置?
托福阅读插入题是公认比较有难度的阅读题型之一,得分率一直都是比较低的。想要做好这类题目,考生需要了解其考点和解题思路,下面小编就来具体分析应对这类难点题型提升正确率的方法技巧。
托福阅读句子插入题找不准放入位置?
托福阅读插入题到底考什么?
做题之前,我们先一起了解下,托福阅读题的出题意图是什么:
1、考查是否理解文章内部逻辑关系。
一般考查段落内部-句子之间的逻辑关系,有时也会考查段落之间的逻辑关系。
2、考查是否知道段落间重要的指示词和连词的作用。
只有了解起着文章衔接作用的连词的用法,才能紧随文章逻辑。
托福阅读插入题解题思路实操演练
例:
Look at the four squares ■that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
In either case, the heated water will usually be under considerable pressure, and so may have a temperature that is well above its sea-level boiling point of 100 centigrade.
Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes. It can also be harnessed to drive electric generators and heat homes. Geothermal energy becomes available in a practical form when underground heat is transferred by water that is heated as it passes through a subsurface region of hot rocks (a heat reservoir) that may be hundreds or thousands of feet deep. ■【A】The water is usually naturally occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock; less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface. ■【B】The water is brought to the surface, as a liquid or steam, through holes drilled for the purpose.■【C】?By far the most abundant form of geothermal energy occurs at the relatively low temperatures of 80° to 180° centigrade. ■【D】Water circulated through heat reservoirs in this temperature range is able to extract enough heat to warm residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.More than 20,000 apartments in France are now heated by warm underground water drawn from a heat reservoir in a geologic structure near Paris called the Paris Basin. Iceland sits on a volcanic structure known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is entirely heated by geothermal energy derived from volcanic heat.
(官方真题Official-21: Geothermal Energy)
做句子插入题主要依赖的是语言线索,所以
第 一步:仔细阅读待插入的句子,弄清含义,找出其中包含的衔接手段,预测可能存在的语境。也就是:In either case, the heated water will usually be under considerable pressure, and so may have a temperature that is well above its sea-level boiling point of 100 centigrade.
句子中出现“either case”, either表示两者中“或者,任一”,意味着原文必提及两种“case”;
第二步:读原文,找线索
■ The water is usually occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock; less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface. ■ The water is brought to the surface, as a liquid or steam, through holes drilled for the purpose.■ By far the most abundant form of geothermal energy occurs at the relative low temperature of 80 to 180℃entigrade.■
我们发现原文首句提及“The water is usually occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock;”一种情况外,还提到了“less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface”这种情况,满足了“两种case”的猜测。
于是,我们把待插入句放到第二个小黑框前,检查一遍,逻辑通顺。
这道题中我们的解题突破口是一个叫“either”的词,除它以外,还有哪些词可能有逻辑衔接担当呢?
常见衔接手段:
1.语法衔接手段
语法衔接手段主要指代词,包括指示代词和人称代词。
指示代词:this, these, it, such, another, that, these, those
b. 人称代词:he, she, one, they, his, her, one’s, their
c. 定冠词:the
d. such, either, same等
说明插入句的内容上文有提到。
2. 逻辑衔接手段:
a. 因果: because, therefore, thus, consequently, so, as a result
b. 对比: however, on the contrary, nevertheless, unlike, in contrast, while, although, but
c. 递进: furthermore, also, as well, too, other, in addition, moreover, besides, even, additionally
