  託福口語提高方法:巧用託福口語連接詞

我們先來看一個例子:

下面是以爲同學針對問題“What is an activity that you enjoy doing with your friends and why? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.”的回答。

There are two reasons why I think so. One reason is that playing sports help us create strong bonds of friendship. It creates many opportunities of cooperation if we have to beat others when play in a group.I don’t like exercising alone. It is really boring if you have to repeat some moves.I am really interested in playing sports with my friends.

第一句是總起句,應該用表起始的連接詞,如: in the beginning, in the first place,等等;第二句是第一句的解釋,因此可以用that is to say, in other words等等來聯繫這些關係。表遞進的關係,可以用moreover。下面我們來看看修改後的答案。

As far as I am concerned, I really love playing sports with my friends. There are two reasons why I think so. Actually, one reason is that playing sports helps us create strong bonds of friendship. You know, it creates many opportunities of cooperation if we have to beat others when play in a group. Also, I don’t like exercising alone. Because it is really boring if you have to repeat some moves. For these two reasons, I am really interested in playing sports with my friends.

這樣看起來,用上連接詞以後,整個答案讀起來都通順了許多。

大家在備考託福口語時要積累一些常用的連接詞,無論是表達因果、對等、時間順序等等時,都知道用什麼詞語來銜接答案。巧用託福口語連接詞肯定會讓大家的口語水平得到不小的提升。

  爲什麼你的託福口語上不了25

如果你也被這樣的託福問題所困惑:

1、爲什麼自己的閱讀和聽力在老師的指導下和自己勤奮的日夜刷題的題海戰術中不斷取得自信,但是口語還是無情的在真實的考場中被“虐”?

2、爲什麼自己在每日的訓練中已經能在表述答案時做到流暢自然,但分數還是不能像其它科目一樣得到高分?

3、爲什麼已經每天跑到湖邊瘋狂地用英文吶喊,老師還是說自己的口語有問題?

想知道問題出在哪裏嗎?

如果是發音存在問題則需要了解自己哪些音節發得不準,或是在發音技巧上如連讀,不完全爆破等多下功夫。機會與自己的小夥伴或是native對話,模仿地道的英文。單純重複而不對錯誤進行及時的糾正,只會讓自己在通向高分的道路上漸行漸遠。

有時候有目的的訓練才能使自己的口語不斷進步。另外,要着重強調的是中國考生在託福口語中面對問題,已經有思路,但仍存在的表述障礙,或是已經很努力地去練習,但是找不到具體提升方向的三方面:一是表達思想空洞,沒有具體的例子和細節支持,二是缺乏連貫性,三是詞彙使用不當。

1

表達思想空洞

首先,中國學生在用英語表達的時候,論點有餘,但是支持論點的例子和原因顯得嚴重不足,因此,整篇表達聽上去十分乾澀,不夠豐滿。

例如,當一箇中國學生想要表達他非常喜歡一部電影的時候,他可能會不斷地羅列他的論點而無法去挖掘、發展他的觀點,他會說“I love this movie, and I think it is amazing. No one loves the movie like I do; it is so good and I think it is the best film in this world.”

這樣的表達即使用最漂亮的發音呈現出來也顯得蒼白無力。甚至有的同學將託福口語題目中常出現的一句話“Use specific details and examples to support your opinion.” 當作一句沒用的話,殊不知這正是託福口語考試希望同學們做的,用充分的事實去展開。

一個建議的版本可以是這樣的,如果想表達很喜歡Forrest Gump《阿甘正傳》這部電影,可以說:

“I love this movie because I can learn something about America's history. For example,I know the lost generation and Watergate scandal through this movie. People living in UnitedStates start doubting the policy of government, and of course, how the Vietnam War affected American people's lives. People want to change their attitudes to the war, and look for their own freedom and democracy. So I can have the opportunity to enrich my knowledge concerning this through this masterpiece.”

這是一部非常“有文化”的電影。導演將美國重要的歷史事件默默的安排在阿甘的經歷中,通過時代的變遷反映出美國在各個時期的特徵和美國年輕人的追求。如果考生可以用“迷失的一代”,“水門事件”,來舉例,rater馬上就明白我喜歡這部電影的原因了,而且通過這些美國人耳熟能詳的例子也體現出考生滿腹經綸,是一個非常瞭解美國曆史和文化的優秀考生。

再舉一例,比如談到一所好的大學需要具備什麼樣的特點這道題時,會說“The university has a good library.”或“The university has numerous trees.”就此停止了,而沒能有理有據地展開。

正確的表述比如:

“My university has a good library, and it is one of the largest and most valuable research libraries in China. It has about 6 million items in its collection, including over 2 million books and pamphlets and thousands of charts, engravings, manuscripts, map and so forth. The library's half million manuscript collection reflects different aspects of Chinese life and culture. And the library has grown so large that it could no longer be housed in one building. Two more buildings were built to accommodate the ever increasing collection in the library. Also, the library is computerized, so students can research the information or E-book freely when the professor assigns the new homework, which makes the use of the library a pleasant experience.”

要想避免表達思想內容空洞就可以按照上面大學圖書館一例來把自己的想法展開。具體要細化到什麼程度還是由考生自己決定,不過強烈建議考生可以根據自己的生活經驗和真實的感受(比如真的對自己學校的圖書館)進行客觀的評價,而不是在考場中隨性的編造例子,畢竟編造的內容是你臨時想的,你也不能確定你的創造是否能hold住45秒的答題時間,反而自己真實的感受更容易表達。所以平時對於生活中的素材,或是一些新聞實事合理積累也對話題的展開大有裨益。

注意中西方文化差異

還有就是在舉例表達時也必須注意中西文化的差異,很多考生在闡述思想時能把中國文化中普遍認同的東西表達出來,卻沒有能夠把中國人爲何普遍認同這種東西其背後的原因和條件講述出來。

因爲美國人對其背後的原因和條件一無所知,就很難明白你想表達的思想觀點,甚至會認爲你所表達的觀點是荒.唐的。比如說,一個學生在談到在中國用什麼交通工具最好這一問題時,闡述了這一觀點“Only the very wealthy people can afford to buy a car.”爲了使美國人真正理解這句話,就必須按下面的方法來交代原因和條件:

The living standard in China is still not very high. The average monthly income per person even in large and affluent cities is about 200 U. S. dollars. This income is just enough to cover the family expenses, without any money left for savings. Furthermore, cars in China are far more expensive than in the United States. The cheapest car in China would be about 10,000 dollars. Very few Chinese people can save enough to purchase a car, not to mention the cost of car maintenance.

從此例可以看出在表達思想時一定要把支持這一觀點的事實和條件列出來,即使是衆人皆知的原因和條件亦是如此。要避免跨越的思維,造成強邏輯的錯誤,這是西方人在表達思想時與中國人的不同之處。

在中國,一個人下結論時,如果別人聽不懂,往往這個聽不懂的人會被看作無知,而下結論的人被認爲是有高深學問和深刻語言能力的,這也是我國強調“博學”的體現;而美式思維更強調推理能力,即如何自圓其說。

即有時候我的觀點與你所知的觀點有些許不同,甚至曾被你認爲是錯的,但是當你聽完我的敘述之後,你發現有道理並被我說服了。有意識的培養自己說理的能力,對於思路的詳細擴展有非常積極的影響。

  託福口語解題步驟詳解

Step1:STUDENTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION FIRST

第一步:考生要先了解託福口語試題問的是什麼

One crucial point to be able to speak logically in the test is by making sure that one truly understands the question or the problem that needs to be answered or solved. If the answer that one gives is not even related to the question, then the answer becomes totally illogical. Even if all the grammars, dictions and even the choice of words are carefully said, the whole thing becomes nonsense. As they say, human beings were created with two ears, two eyes and one mouth because God wants us to listen more, see and observe more and speak less. In the medical field, doctor should be able to find the sickness first before being able to prescribe the right medicine. To be able to give the best solution and answers, students must be able to know and understand what the problem or question is.

要讓託福口語有邏輯很重要的一點是你要真正理解問題的含義,知道應該如何解決問題,處理問題。要是你的答案跟問題毫不相干,答案就等於完全沒有邏輯性。即便語法啊,發音啊,措詞啊都很好,但是整個答案毫無意義。人有兩隻耳朵,兩隻眼睛,一張嘴,所以你要多聽,多看,少說。醫生也是要先找出病症才能對症下藥。同學們一定要先理解問題是什麼。然後才能給出最好的答案和解決方案。

Step 2:LEARN TO ORGANIZE YOUR THINKING AND IDEAS

第二步:學會組織的你想法

I often hear students say “oops! I put my foot into my mouth again.” Students often speak words that they would regret later on once they are able to take the time to really think of the whole thing. Students often end up making the wrong decision or saying things that they would regret later on when they allow their emotion especially if it is negative to control them. To be able to speak logically requires a lot of brain power that is why it is logic. In the book of proverbs it says “as a man thinketh, so is he.” This simply means, students are what they think. During their idle times before the test, what students can do is think of questions, scenarios and situations of TOEL speaking test, then also think of the most logical answer that they can give. It is during this time that student’s brain is functioning more and not their emotion and adrenalin. They can process and practice everything properly without pressure. When the time comes that they come face to face with these questions, then they are prepared to answer confidently and logically because they were able to organize their thinking and plan ahead of time about the answer.

同學們常常在事後,等到有時間重新回想的時候再後悔。尤其是在充滿消極情緒的情況下,同學們常常做出錯誤的判斷,說出錯誤的話,等到平靜下來以後非常後悔。想要把話說得富有邏輯性是相當費神的事。在考前的空餘時間裏,同學們就應該思考問題,想想新託福口語考試的場景,想想如何有邏輯性地回答問題。此刻,同學們的大腦勝過了情緒。能夠毫無壓力地練習。由於事前已經把想法組織好,一旦面對考試問題,同學們就已經準備好富有自信和邏輯地回答問題了。

Step 3:REHEARSE

第三步:演練

After organizing ones thought, students should practice on how to deliver their organized thing king and ideas out loud to themselves and, if appropriate, to a few others. Do it out loud because the words always come out right in your head, but if you have to speak them you'll catch some problems before hand. Most of the time students know what they want to say but when they say it out will be quite different from what they had thought. Do it again repeatedly. Keep doing it until you are comfortable and improved. Rehearsing is also a good way to build a student’s confidence in speaking. Practice makes perfect, it can really give student an ideal score in the exam.

組織好想法以後,同學們就要演練怎樣大聲對自己說了。如果可以的話,也可以對其他人說。大聲說出來!語言已經在腦海中形成了!不過你會發現一些問題。很多時候,同學們發現要說的跟所想的有些區別。那就一遍一遍反覆說,一直說到你自己覺得舒服,有所提高爲止。這對提升考生的自信有極大好處。熟能生巧,這真的會給你帶來高分哦。
