如何提升托福口语表达的逻辑性?
托福口语备考时,考生应学会锻炼自己的口语表达逻辑思维。这是因为托福口语的题目要求多为论述而非描述,因此对回答的逻辑有很高要求。而只有具备清晰条理和逻辑的回答,才能让考官更准确地听懂和理解考生想要表达的内容。下面小编就来为大家指点通过罗列要点提升口语逻辑性的技巧。
如何提升托福口语表达的逻辑性?
为什么托福口语要重视逻辑性?
小编之所以要强调托福口语表达的逻辑性,主要有两个原因。首先,托福口语部分,无论是综合口语还是独立口语,其评分标准中都有关于展现话题发展的要求,也就是topic development。这条要求说明白一点就是希望考生能够把话题展开的更全面合理有说服力有条理,为什么考生支持/反对某个观点、理由是什么、通过哪几点来论证证明说服考官。这些其实都是对大家论述逻辑的考验。因此,缺乏逻辑性的回答往往是很难拿到理想成绩的,哪怕你说得再多,用足了全部回答时间,没有逻辑性依然会成为扣分点。
其次,提升逻辑性也能够一定程度上弥补考生在口语回答中其它方面的不足。众所周知,参加托福考试的考生年龄层次的差别比较大,有相当数量的考生是初高中阶段的学生。这类同学中普遍存在的问题是英语基础相对薄弱积累有限,特别是在词汇句式的口语运用方面,往往很难在口语表达时合理正确的使用好高深的词汇和句式,语法上也常会存在瑕疵。而对这类同学来说,想要弥补在language use上的不足,提升口语回答的逻辑表现力无疑是很好的方法。口语内容说的有道理逻辑性强,语言基础上不太明显的问题也就不会显得那么突兀了。特别是那些备考时间有限,无法在短期内快速积累和提升语言使用水平的同学,尽量提高表述的逻辑性是很有效的提分方式。
托福口语提升逻辑性要学会罗列要点
托福口语想要提升逻辑性,就需要学会罗列要点,这种做法在英语里叫做bullet point,一般对用于写作,但实际上对提升口语逻辑性也是很有帮助的技巧。具体来说,罗列要点大家可以理解成写文章之前打草稿列提纲,把要写要说的内容简单的逐条列出来,之后按照列出的要点再进一步展开论述。大家可能会觉得这么做很麻烦,尤其是会消耗不少时间,写作也就算了,口语怎么来得及?其实罗列要点的做法并不一定要付诸于纸笔,也绝 对不是非得花很多时间才能用好的技巧。考生完全可以通过罗列几个关键词,或是直接在脑海里想好几个要点的方式来实现。托福口语的准备时间的确很短,但只要大家能够熟练掌握这种方法,在准备时间内列出简单的论述框架要点还是完全可以做到的。
托福口语罗列要点技巧用法指点
那么,罗列要点具体要怎么做呢?是不是只要把要点逐个列出来就行了呢?下面这3个用法注意事项大家需要记住:
1. 要点数量以3个为佳
按照托福口语的考试要求,一般来说罗列要点的数量不建议超过3个,一方面要点太多考生自己可能也记不住或者来不及展开,另一方面面对某些话题考生可能短时间内也想不出太多要点,因此以3个要点作为标准,再根据考生自身的实际情况适当调整要点数量,是比较合理的选择。
2. 要点需要一句话讲清楚
既是要点,那么简明扼要就很重要了。能够通过一句话就说清楚才能算的上是要点,这就好比现在很多人写文章常用的小标题一样,能够让人一看就知道这一段讲了什么,可以帮助受众快速看懂文章听懂叙述的逻辑,把作者说话者的观点更好的表达传递出去。因此,大家在罗列口语要点时也需要具备概括能力。

托福独立写作题目
Students are more interested in politics than they were in the past. Do you agree or disagree?
1
To get a sense of whether current students are interested in politics, social media, which dominate the way students get informed, are a good place to start. With more students posting comments on political issues online, people are put under a illusion that they are interested in politics. As a matter of fact, current students are less likely to be intrigued by politics than did their counterparts of the past.
重点词汇:
* To get a sense of xxx, .... is a good place to start 为了了解某事,... 是个好的切入点。
* Under the illusion 在xx幻觉之下
* Intrigue v. 引起兴趣
* Counterpart n. 对应的事物
2
It is indeed easier for students, who are exposed to a deluge of news online, to be politically aware today. With information about what’s happening both at home and abroad at their fingertip, it seems that social platforms have ignited students passion for politics. However, would they truly reflect on the political news when browsing social media? The fact is that with most news online presented in short videos with catchy headlines, students may simply glance over the title or mainly focus on the funny moments when a politician makes a verbal slip. Even if they may briefly skim the highlight of a report, they may be too lazy to think about the implications or rationales. Sadly, they may wrongly assume that they have fully learned about the complex event by doing this.
段落解析:
本段内先转折说明尽管学生看的很多,但其实他们只看标题和搞笑的内容,但缺乏深度思考,所以不是真正的感兴趣。而至于与过去的对比,不妨留至下段展开。
重点词汇:
* At one’s fingertip 触手可及
* Glance over 粗略浏览
* Make a verbal slip 口误
3
Although past generations of students did not enjoy the same convenience brought by social media, they are more absorbed by each piece of news on the latest political events, either through newspapers, cable TV or word-of-mouth. And more importantly, they were very vocal in the inequalities like unfavourable policy for women or the minorities, and the demonstration aiming to stop Vietnam War as well as civil rights protest engaged thousands of them. By stark contrast, students nowadays who read a lot online and discuss freely within the class may become ironically silent when it comes to actually do something.
段落解析:
本段完成与上段的对比,说过去的学生不像现在的学生,不但看,而且思考,而且有所行动。这才是真正的感兴趣。
尽管现在的学生可以用过社交媒体读到大量的政治新闻, 而过去的学生不能。但我们不能误以为(be put in the illusion that)学生就对政治感兴趣了。因为现在的学生读政治新闻只粗略(skim; glance over) 浏览标题或者只关注搞笑的部分,而不仔细思考(reflect)。而过去的学生,尽管资源有限,但是会细细思考及激烈讨论。更重要的是,他们还会积极地为政治事件发声。
重点词汇:
* Absorb v. 被吸引
* Vocal adj. 直言不讳的
* Demonstration n. 游行
4
Additionally, in the past, students had little to do other than unfolding a newspaper or playing instruments in their dorms, and they were therefore more likely to allocate time for politics. This is different from now, when students have more activities to do during their free time in dorms. For example, they can now play engaging video games rather than reading boring political report written in obscure language; and they can gossip about films or celebrities instead of debating over political events that provoke thoughts. In this case, how could they be interested in politics?
重点词汇:
* Engaging adj. 引人入胜的
* provoke thoughts 煽动思绪
5
In conclusion, it seems easier to be politically active now than it was in the past, but current students’ nonchalance about politics seems to be the norm rather than the exception.
重点词汇:
* be the norm rather than the exception 常见
