一.托福獨(dú)立口語需要積累答題素材
一般學(xué)生講口語的大腦活動(dòng)是先用中文思考,其次是根據(jù)中文所想的意思翻譯成英文單詞,再把這些單詞根據(jù)主謂賓等語法知識(shí)組裝成句,最后考慮單詞的發(fā)音、語音語調(diào)等連詞成句。而口語比較好的同學(xué)往往直接想到的是英文表達(dá),然后是chunks,就是我們常說的語塊,因?yàn)橐呀?jīng)是積累好的句子,不需要再考慮語法等因素,所以可以直接脫口而出。這就像電腦開機(jī)一樣,程序越少,速度越快。在考試之前多積累地道的語料而不是一味的選擇網(wǎng)上的模版,才能更加從容的面對(duì)考試來取得高分。
比如TPO21 Task 1: Talk about an important news event that happened recently in your country. Describe the event and explain why it was important.很多學(xué)生看見 “news event”就大腦一片空白,不知從何說起,或者腦海里只有中文意思,對(duì)于新聞?lì)惖脑掝}難以在短時(shí)間內(nèi)直接用英文表述出來。以中國(guó)首架自制民用飛機(jī)C919舉例: China’s first home-made large passenger jet was scheduled to take off in Shanghai, the narrow-body passenger plane made by state-run Comac as a triumph of indigenous innovation. 也可以說“一帶一路”政策,One Belt and One Road initiative.
二.實(shí)例講解托福獨(dú)立口語細(xì)節(jié)敘述方法
這種方法通常當(dāng)作第二個(gè)supporting details,相當(dāng)于 “for example”,可以并列兩個(gè)同類或異類的事物,描述其種類繁多。以 “Do you prefer to eat at home or eat out”為例:As for me, I prefer to eat out in various of restaurants, cuz it has wide section of food, from authentic Chinese cuisine to western-style food, from savory dishes to bland snacks, hence loads of mouth-watering food can meet my appetite and leave lasting impression on me. 這里 “authentic Chinese cuisine”指的是地道的中國(guó)菜,一般學(xué)生只會(huì)想到traditional Chinese food, 而好吃第一個(gè)想到的詞就是 “delicious”, 需要注意替換詞的積累。而對(duì)于某事使我留下深刻印象會(huì)表述為 “sth. leaves deep impression on me” 而對(duì)于native speaker來講,”lasting”才是更加地道的表達(dá)方法。
再以2017.08.27 Task 1一個(gè)經(jīng)典三選一題型為例。
Your university has acquired a piece of land next to the campus. There have been three options for the use of the land.
A. The athletic facilities stadiums
B. A park with nature trails
C. Centers for students and hotel for campus guests
此題只需作出選擇,并給出合理解釋即可。如選擇 “The athletic facilities stadiums”可以從學(xué)生通過做各種運(yùn)動(dòng)來強(qiáng)身健體,排解壓力或者參加團(tuán)隊(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)鍛煉團(tuán)隊(duì)合作精神等。”I tend to choose the athletic facilities stadiums, cuz students can work out there, from doing push-ups to sit-ups, from plank to Russian twist, which can befit them to strengthen their muscles and build up cardiovascular system, or get rid of stress after high-intensive study. 這里用 “from…to…” 來并列幾個(gè)健身運(yùn)動(dòng)的動(dòng)作,這種表述也適用于gym, court, square等描述地點(diǎn)的題型,要學(xué)會(huì)同類話題合并及舉一反三。
同理,再看TPO27 Task 1: Talk about a popular actor, musician or artist whose work you do not admire.
這道題屬于人物類話題中的名人類,可以從人物的外貌、性格、作品等角度入手。”Well, personally I’m not fascinated by a Korean music band, from their weird dressing style to flamboyant makeup, from aggressive personality to terrible works, from impolite behaviors to constant scandals, hence I have no motivation and passion to appreciate their albums. 這里用 “from…to…” 連接幾個(gè)形容詞+名詞的結(jié)構(gòu)來表達(dá)不喜歡的原因,比較工整并且容易在原有的結(jié)構(gòu)上刪減修改形成自己的答案,再應(yīng)用于別的話題中。
“from…to…” 列舉法是一種學(xué)生比較容易理解并應(yīng)用的擴(kuò)充細(xì)節(jié)的方法,能夠通過快速并列幾種事物來展開闡述自己的原因,把腦海里破碎的單詞在短時(shí)間內(nèi)形成chunks,在有效的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成答題。并且適用范圍廣,在人物、地點(diǎn)、物品、事件題型中均可使用,而當(dāng)作第二個(gè)supporting detail即時(shí)學(xué)生在時(shí)間不夠的情況下結(jié)束答題也不會(huì)有違和感。
總而言之,托福獨(dú)立口語想要拿高分必須內(nèi)容充實(shí)并且涉及一些細(xì)節(jié)。我們?cè)谏衔闹型ㄟ^實(shí)例為大家分析講解了托福獨(dú)立口語素材使用方法和細(xì)節(jié)敘述方法。獨(dú)立口語素材積累可以積累一些生活中的例子,詳述細(xì)節(jié)可以使用“From……to”句式來具體舉例。
