2个小妙招助你攻克独立口语任务。我们在托福口语这道大难关的时候我们应该怎么去备考?应该怎么去突破呢?下面我们就一起来看一下吧。
托福口语 Task 1-2 是独立口语任务,要求学生在15 秒钟准备后,就某个相关的话题侃侃而谈 45 秒钟。其中 Task 1 的主题是 Personal Preference,问题主要涉及与考生相关的人物、场所、时间以及活动等;Task 2 主题为 Personal Choice,要求学生从两种对立的情况中选择一种,表明自己对于该话题的态度并给出恰当的理由。所以,做独立口语的题目,就仿佛都是在“谈个人生活”和“做人生抉择”。
参考样题
Task 1
Describe a person that you admire. Explain why you admire this person. Include details and examples to support your response.
Task 2
Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe it has had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details and examples to explain your opinion.
笔者在教学中发现,大部分学生在回答独立口语任务问题时,都会习惯性的在最后来一句话结尾,感觉这样就“圆满”了。有结尾,固然是好,但是如果大家都清一色的“异口同声”,考官估计也不会“感冒”,这就对分数提档没有帮助。
以上述两题为例,大部分考生的结尾会是:
Task 1 :
'So that's why I admire him/her so much.'
Task 2:
'That's why I think television has a negative / positive influence on society.'
所以,对此,笔者总结出此处学生的 技能障碍 主要是: 考生在独立口语中无法巧妙地结尾,导致无法有效的向评分人“秀”出自己的英文水平。 首先,不可否认,答案的内容,尤其是理由和细节部分是核心的得分点,也是学生应该孜孜不倦练习的重点。但是如果你已经习惯性的、得了强迫症般的想在最后来个结尾,为何不借此机会向评分人好好“秀一下”你的英文呢?!
在教学中,笔者总结出以下两剂良方——两种主要方法,可以有效攻克以上的技能障碍,给你的答案来一个“圆满”的结局:
参考句型1:If…did/were( 或者否定式 )…, …would/wouldn't + 动词原形…
中文释义:如果…做了 / 是…, …就会 / 就不 会…
参考句型2:Without + 你所谈及的对象或者 与对象相关的内容,…would/wouldn't….
中文释义:如果没有…, …就会 / 就不会…
实例示范1:
参考上文 Task 1 题目,假设你谈的是某位篮球巨星
结尾与其说:So that's why I admire him/her so much.
还 不 如 说:If he didn't insist in what he loves, he would not be one of the most phenomenal players in the NBA.
或 者 :Without his passion for basketball, he would not be one of the most outstanding players in the NBA.
实例示范2:参考上文 Task 2 题目,假设你认同电 视对社会有积极的影响
比 较 加 分 的 结 尾 可 以 是: Without television, we would not be able to gain so much important information.
或者 :If there were not television in our daily lives, we would not be able to gain so much useful information.
参考句型:
It's__________ that ____________.
(如果 强调人,that可以换成who)
中文释义:
正是___________, _______________。
横线处的内容十分灵活,主要依照你的意思去变换。
例如:
It's my elder brother that/who always helps me out and cheers me up.
正是我哥哥,一直在帮助我,鼓舞我。
It's only in summer that I am able to enjoy lots of activities like fishing, swimming and my favorite —— surfing.
(注意:此句中 in 一定不能省)
正是在夏季,我才能够享受众多活动,例如钓鱼、 游泳以及我最喜欢的——冲浪。
It's with my elder brother's guidance that I was able to overcome this difficulty.
( 注意:with 不能省 )
正是有了我哥哥的指导,我才能够克服这个困难。
实例示范1:
参考上文 Task 1 题目,假设你谈的是某位篮球巨星
结尾与其说:
So that's why I admire him/her so much.
还 不 如 说:
So it's definitely his hard work that made him one of the most phenomenal
players in the NBA.
实例示范2:
参考上文 Task 2 题目,假设你认同电视对社会有积极的影响
比较加分的结尾可以是:
It's by watching television that we are able to access to huge amount of knowledge.
或 者
It's television that enables us to access to huge amount of knowledge.
以上是笔者在教学中总结出来的 “两剂良方”,
同学们可以反复练习,直至习惯,最终通过反复练习,提升英语能力。记住:英语“高能”了,“高分”还能远吗?
