篇1:托福口语提分经验
托福口语提分经验分享:从23到28,细微处积聚进步
评分细则里说不重视考生的口音问题,但是口音仍然是非常基础且重要的,”说得不标准“和”带有个人风格“这两者的区分不是那么明显的。每个考生都应该进行一次严格甚至严厉的口音自查。记得BBC Learning English网站上有一套对于音标发音的示范视频,你可以一个一个地跟着练一遍。有些考生自己也知道自己的口音很不标准,带有浓厚“中国风”,那是因为你平时开口少了,口腔肌肉对于另一套语言的运动方式完全不熟悉,因此在发英语的音时还是习惯性地使用中文的口型,发出中文的音。明证就是当你反复练习一个你觉得难的词时嘴巴很容易累,或者是稍微说快一点就上下嘴皮打架了。
大声读书是绝对有必要的。但这个大声不是像疯狂英语那样吼出来,仅仅保持你平时跟人聊天的音量就行,而且,千万不要一个人瞎读,一定要模仿!学得越像越好。你可以选一个你很喜欢的影视演员,专门去找他/她的访谈视频,模仿其说话的腔调。因为你是要出国念书的,所以最好挑选一个文雅一点的模仿对象。女生的英英推荐Emma Watson(赫敏)。我偏美英,模仿过《Eat Pray Love》的作者Elizabeth Gilbert。男生最好别模仿像布拉德皮特或是《Lie To Me》男主角以及昆汀电影里的地痞口音,好听是好听,但不太适合学术生活。
选择英英或美英都可以,最好是要偏向于其中一种,因为两种口音说话的气质是完全不同的!自我感觉英英要难些,嘴收得更紧。同时,你不仅应该会说其中一种,还应该清楚两者在许多微小细节上的明确区别。你能迅速分辨一段听力材料是哪国口音吗?之前介绍听力部分讲的跟读是很管用的,尽可能录下自己的声音,放给自己听,对比原材料。你可能会发现,我去怎么这么奇怪,一点都不像,明明刚刚自己念的时候感觉挺好的。录音让你能更客观地看待自己的发音,从而知道如何调整。
除了词语本身的发音,考生还应该着重练习略读和连读。第一步是能听懂别人的略读/连读,第二步是要能明确分辨出其略读/连读的确切位置,第三步是要能模仿略读/连读,最后一步就是要在自己说话时能自主略读/连读。
要按照作文素材的分类积累那种方法积累口语素材。如果仅仅是为了考高分的话,建议多积累万能素材。比如在人物题类别中,我备有的一个近乎万能的素材是艾未未。他的身份和经历适用于各种人物题,比如:一位艺术家、画家、建筑师、作家、老人、社会活动家、令你敬仰的人,创新的人、政治人物、名人、有争议的人……同时也要积累万能记忆单元,比如之前提到的什么hustle and bustle之类的。注意,千万不要积累万能段落,千万不要让考官觉得你在背,而且万能段落还有的劣势在于:它实际上并不万能,可用范围非常有限。
当你脑子里有许多可以脱口而出的记忆单元时,你会发现自己造句的能力也能有所提升,以前你是完全无话可说,现在你能蹦出短语,只需要用语法把它们连缀起来就好了。但是连缀起来也不容易,这需要你时常练习造句,一定要用说的,写下来完全没用,写下来读出来也没用,一定要随口说。有意识地练习造从句,最简单的是定语从句,口语中实在太实用,用于补充修饰你刚刚提到的对象。定语从句中的非限定性定语从句更是最无赖惯用的从句,你随便说一件事,然后就可以用which对其发表评论。比如,I got up really early today to catch the bus, but I still missed it, which was totally frustrating.最后那个which从句就是对前面整个事件发表看法。你还可以经常在口语里加进一句by which I mean...然后把前面说的话换种说法再说一遍。值得注意的是,别把口语里的句子造得太复杂太长,一来说着说着自己就昏了,二来很不自然,写作里面写复杂句能加分,口语里只要有几种从句就够了,大多数时候还是只用说简单句。
你光学会把记忆单元连成句子还不够,还要学会如何把单个的句子连成自然的段落。句子与句子之间如果缺乏顺滑的连接会听起来太硬。这种联结就是逻辑连接词。跟作文类似,你应该将几种逻辑关系记得牢牢的,根据自己说话的层次性,顺手拈来。想象你上课迟到了,老师问你为什么迟到,你可能会解释原因,描述整个过程时会有铺垫转折,请求原谅时你可能会说虽然我确实迟到了但我作业还是完成了的(让步),或是发誓再也不迟到,如果迟到就怎么怎么(假设)。
你说的实质内容可以是简单直白的,但如果你的逻辑词用得多用得好,也能给考官造成一种你词汇丰富的印象,最关键的是有话可说而且把语言组织起来了。口语的逻辑连接不必像写作那么“利索”,你可以多见缝插针地用些小词,比如“It‘s like”…、“If my memory serves”、“as far as I'm concerned”、“actually”、“well”等等,它们都能使你更像是在交流。有一条准备口语词汇的捷径,那就是多背副词,比如“absolutely”、“basically”、“hopefully”、“ideally”、“frankly”、“unfortunately”等等,非常实用,放在句首,整个句子就带有感情、多了点活气。
以上就是关于托福口语从23分到28分的提分经验分享,我们可以看到这位童鞋在二刷托福的备考过程中主要做好了口音调整、口语素材积累等方面的提升训练任务。“他山之石可以攻玉”,希望各位童鞋合理借鉴他人托福备考经验中适合自己的部分,融会贯通助力自己的托福备考提分。

篇2:托福口语提分12条考场经验
托福口语提分12条实用考场经验汇总 提升口语表现看过来
1.在听力完成后会有5秒倒计时,结束后开始计时10分钟的休息,休息完后让监考输入密码进入口语部分,按完第一个NEXT后别按第二个NEXT,这样中间就有无限的时间听别人答完所有的题。第1,2题也要做笔记,虽然短而且简单,但这样可以防止到时万一因为某个词而卡住。
2.答题时宁过勿缺,但如果最后差几秒又实在想不出,则可说:That’saboutit (连读) 3’ OR That’s everything I can say about this topic. 5’
3.有时可用and将两个同义词连接,这样既可强调要表达的意思,又可延长一倍的时间。
4.多用习语,口语词,gonna,wanna,thatal = that will,有的词读的短而快,有些则长而慢,注意语音语调的变换。
5.一开始不要说出绝对数字,而说a few points,这样可以防止说不完。
6.多用被动和升调。
7.因为第1,2题要求说45’所以用一些opening会使这两道题比较稳妥。
8.在有阅读的题目中快速默读,但有不熟的单词要朗读。
9.3,4题中如果多说阅读中的内容会被减分,不要有什么in the reading passage之类的话。
10.不要喷麦,不要用一些不确定的词如something,someone,(主要是1,2题,并注意specific),有一些小的语法错误没有关系,发音不好没有关系。
11.阅读和听力可能出现2选1的加试。阅读题是可以来回改的,而听力只可以改最后一个,所以做阅读时应根据篇数来判断听力的篇数,并合理安排时间。
12.阅读和听力要早答,因为如果慢了则会受到别人口语的干扰。而中间休息的时间则应尽可能的延长,因为如果快了则会在写作时受到别人口语部分的影响。故TOEFL iBT总体应该遵循先快后慢的原则。

托福口语要合理分配考试时间
口语考试时间掌握不了,如何在规定的时间内将话题说清楚。
它们分别是情景题和学术题。最后的5、6道以听力材料为基础,要求考生回答相关问题。首先,考生掌控时间能力的强弱对这个部分成绩的高低有着直接影响。前两道题的准备时间为15秒,回答时间是45秒;3、4题的准备时间是30秒,回答时间则是60秒;最后两道题目的准备时间是20秒,回答时间为60 秒。大部分考生都反映口语部分的准备时间利用效率低、做答仓促。新托福口语考试时间比较紧张,考生要适度把握:
如第1、2中的题目属于日常话题,这两道题本身难度比较小,所以特别需要注意的就是时间的分配问题,在这45秒钟里,一般用5~6秒完成topic sentence, 接下来的40秒应以每一个detail或者example不超过3~4句话的规律完成该话题,也就是说大致20秒完成一个detail或example的表述。如果考生能在考前进行充分的准备,锻炼自己的口语思维,积累常用的details或examples,考试时就会从容许多。
篇3:托福考场提分4条经验建议
托福考场提分4条经验建议分享 这些做题细节不可不知
分清解题技巧和猜题技巧
托福考试中考生解题时需要掌握和使用两类技巧,一类是解题技巧,另一类则是猜题技巧,很多同学区分不出两者之间的差别混为一谈,结果把很多其实能够做对的题目给猜错了。所谓解题技巧,是指能够帮助考生做对题目的技巧,而猜题技巧,则是在考生面临难题不会做或者考试时间不够来不及做题时才会采用的猜测答案的技巧。也就是说,解题技巧才是常规技巧,而猜题技巧则只是应急时才会启用的一些技巧。比如托福写作先列提纲再写文章就可以算是解题技巧,而阅读来不及做题只能靠着语感猜一个更靠谱的答案就是猜题技巧了。所以,猜题技巧显然是用得越少越好,而考生也需要分清两者之间的区别才行。
培养做完题目顺手检查的习惯
虽然托福考试中没有数学题,但整场考试听说读写四大题型中都存在很多扣分陷阱,考生一时不察就会大意扣分。很多同学在考完看真题对答案的过程中常常会很郁闷,就是因为发现自己做错了题但其实是可以做对的。为了减少这类扣分,小编希望大家能培养出做完题顺手检查的习惯,比如看看自己选的选项是否符合题意,或者写作后再读一遍文章找找拼写语法错误等等。这种随手检查的习惯不会占用很多时间,但却能有效挽回一些粗心丢失的分数,是保证考生托福高分的一种必要手段。
不要因为题目难度而影响心态发挥
托福考试中题目难度的差异是很大的,有些题目比大家做过的模考官方真题Official要简单不少,还有些题目则会让经验丰富的考生也觉得棘手。缺乏稳定应试心态的同学,可能会因为做到了简单的题目而变得轻敌大意,也会在面对难题时而动摇自信。在小编看来,踏踏实实做好每一道题,无论题目难度如何,都按照之前备考中做过的练习练过的思路来应对即可,实在太难还可以猜题。总之绝不能被题目难度而左右了自己的考试心态,保持稳定发挥才能获得高分。
草稿纸做记录要保持卷面整齐
托福考试中凡是涉及到听力的内容,考生一般来说都是需要用到草稿纸来进行记录的,否则很多信息只是靠脑子记很容易遗漏。而托福考场上提供的草稿纸也正是为了给大家做听力记录而准备的。不过草稿做记录也有一定讲究,基本要求是保持卷面整齐。大家不要以为这是小事,实际上很多同学在做题时随手记录,之后都会有辨认不清字迹或是记得太凌乱找不到关键内容的情况发生。小编建议大家每道题目都做好题号记录,做记录时也尽量保证记录内容的字迹端正和内容清晰,方便之后解题时准确获取信息。
以上就是小编和各位考生分享的托福考场解题时的一些经验技巧,合理运用的话相信能够帮助大家提升一些成绩,挽回不该扣掉的分数。最后小编预祝各位同学在托福考试中顺利发挥实力,取得理想成绩。

托福语法 代词在口语中的错误用法纠正
代词在英语中可以说是很小的词,但是千万不要小看这些小词,有时候一个词语的用法正确与否,决定你是否能够取得高分的关键。。
要想取得托福口语高分突破,细节一定要注意,本文就托福口语考试细节代词用法给大家介绍,希望大家从细节多加注意。
第一个最常见的错误是一个句子中代词的频繁转换,即所谓pronoun shift.
典型的例子是“When one searches on the Internet, you will potentially get onto illegal websites, which will cause negative consequences to us.”在这句话中one,you和us未能保持一致,让考官不知所云。应该修改为“When searching on the Internet, we may potentially get onto illegal websites, which will cause negative consequences to us.”
第二种常见错误是代词在“性别”上未能与被指代对象保持一致,这在学生的口语中也是常见问题。
比如学生所写这句话“Studying in a co-educational school, a girl may concentrate more on popular boys, which may cause ignorance of his study.”显然,his的出现与句子主语a girl是不相符合的,应该改为her。
第三种错误是代词在“数”上未能与被指代对象保持一致。
在“Girls are easy to be persuaded to buy cosmetics, because she always wants to be pretty.”中,主语是girls,为复数,但是原因状语从句中的代词却是she。改正的方法便是将she改为they体现“数”的一致,同时将wants改为want,实现从句内部的主谓一致。最终结果为“Girls are easy to be persuaded to buy cosmetics, because they always want to be pretty.”。
第四种错误是“格”出了问题。
最常见的情况是本该用形容词性物主代词(比如their),结果误用了代词的主格或宾格(比如用成了they或者them),或者在主格和宾格之间未能区分清楚(比如分不清they和them)。一个典型的例子是“Some graduates are proud of their diplomas; however, companies regard they as nothing.”。句中regard后面应接宾语,所以they应该改为them才对。
第五种错误与反身代词的使用有关。
反身代词表示“某人自己”,比如“Many children are addicted to computer games and they cannot control themselves at all.”教学中笔者发现,学生清楚这种用法,但是不会表达“某人自己的”这个概念,总是说“Teenagers cannot control themselves behaviours”。这句话中,themselves要改为their own才能体现出“某人自己的”这层意思。因此,考生在作文时要格外留意这个小点。
托福语法:a little/little和a few/few的用法总结
a little/little(形容词)用在不可数名词之前:
a little salt/little salt一点盐/没有多少盐
a few/few(形容词)用在复数名词之前:
a few people/few people有几个人/没有几个人
这四种形式也都能用做代词使用,或单独使用或与of连用:
-Sugar?
-A little,please.
-要糖吗?
-请给一点儿。
Only a few of these are any good.
这其中只有几个用得着。
a litile,a few(形容词和代词)
a little指少量或者说话人认为少的量; a few指小数目或者说话人认为小的数目。
把only放在a little/a few之前,是为了强调说话人认为该数量的确很小。(考试大!)
Only a few of our customers have accounts.
我们的顾客中只有少数人是记账的。
但是把quite放在a few之前就大大增大了这个数量:
I have quite a few books on art.
我有不少关于艺术的书。(许多书)
little和few(形容词和代词)
little和few意为很少或没有,几乎具有否定意义:
There was little time for consultation.
几乎没有时间商量。
Little is known about the side-effects of this drug.
这种药物有些什么副作用,现在还不大清楚。
Few towns have such splendid trees.
有这么好看的树木的城市不多。
little和few的这种用法主要限于书面英语(可能由于在日常会话中little和few容易被误认为是 a little/a few)。因此,在日常会话中little和few通常由hardly any替代,也可以由动词否定式+much/many替代:
We saw little.
我们没有看到什么。相当于:
We saw hadly anything./We didn’t see much.
我们几乎什么都没有看到。
Tourists come here but few stay overnight.
有游客到这里来,但很少有人过夜。相当于:
Tourists come here but hadly any stay overnight.
有游客到这里来,但几乎没有人在这里过夜。
但如果little和few由so,very,too,extremely,comparatively,relatively等词修饰,就可以较自由地使用。
fewer(比较级)也可以更自由地使用。
I’m unwilling to try a drug I know so little about.
我不乐意服我知之甚少的药。
They have too many technicians,we have too few.
他们的技术员太多,而我们的又太少。
There are fewer butterflies every year.
蝴蝶的数量每年都在减少。
a little/little(副词)
1 a little可以:
(a)与动词连用:
It rained a little during the night.
夜里下了一点儿雨。
They grumbled a little about having to wait.
他们为要等候抱怨了几句。
(b)与具有“令人不快的”意义的形容词和副词连用:
a little anxious有点儿着急
a little annoyed有点儿不耐烦
a little unwillingly有点儿不情愿地
a little impatiently有点儿不耐心地
(c)与形容词和副词的比较级连用:
The paper should be a little thicker.
这纸应该再厚一点儿。
Can’t you walk a little faster?
你不能走得快一点儿吗?
在(b)中可以用 rather来代替a little。 rather也可以用于比较级之前(参见第42节),但a little更常用一些。
在英语口语中a bit可以在上述例子中用以替代a little。
2 在比较正式的文体中,little主要同better或more连用:
His second suggestion was little(=not much) better than his first.
他的第二个建议比第一个好不了多少。
He was little(= not much) more than a child when his father died.
他父亲去世时,他差不多还是个孩子。
在正式的英语中,little可用在某些动词如 expect,know,sus-pect,think等之前:
He little expected to find himself in prison.
他几乎没有料到自己会进监狱。
He little thought that one day…
他几乎从不曾想过有一天……
注意像little-known和little-used这样的形容词的用法:
a little-known painter一个藉藉无名画家
a little-used footpath一条几乎没有人走的小道
篇4:托福口语如何备考提分
托福口语在英语考试中历来是让中国考生望而生畏的一个部分。究其原因,无非是以下几点,首先中国学生缺乏平时的语言环境。这个原因造成许多中国考生出现“中式英语”,这样的表达往往不符合英语的语言逻辑或是语法规则。其次是心理因素。很多人之所以口语说不好,首先是因为自己不敢说,不想说。大家抱怨说:“对着计算机说,怎么说得出来啊。对着人说都不敢,何况当着大家的面说。”其实很多学生的发音不错,但是却一直不肯开口,最后口语一点提高都没有。但是我们说一定要敢于开口,这是最基本的要求。如果连说都不敢说,何以谈备考口语,更别谈提高了。
对于这个问题,考生应该做的是:先自言自语。说自己的话,让别人笑去吧!这里的“说”也要有重点,这个阶段的重点是要纠正发音。常见的如th的发音,thanks和speed……之类。要是觉得自己发音比较好,但是苦于寻求充实话题内容方法的同学,可以找出托福听力和口语的原文来阅读。其中既有Conversation又有Lecture,非常真实地模拟了考试题型。
托福口语准备时间怎么用?
接下来要说的就是托福口语如何提前做好准备了。在托福考试中,考生仅有15至30秒的准备时间内,流利答题,内容充实,从而拿到高分,没有一定的准备基本是不可能的(当然不包括有些在美国生活过的考生,他们在这样的语言环境中成长,自然有很多优势)。那么,是不是要因为一个小小的口语考试就放弃期待已久的留学梦呢?当然不是!既然我们不能依赖于现场发挥,那么就要通过平时准备来降低现场快速反应的高难度要求。准备工作,就是积累素材和锻炼反应速度。这是基础,是决定你流利程度和语言使用的关键,也是你拿高分的关键。我们可以多读些好文章,建议读ETS给的SampleAnswer。这个对于口语所有题型的帮助是最直接的,但是材料有限。那么,针对校园类的话题可以多借鉴一下听力中Conversation对于问题的解决给出意见的句子。把好词好句储藏起来备用,取其精华,去其糟粕。对于开放性的独立口语题,要注重练习。因为我们说,考题还是有一定的重复几率的。考试的题型也相对固定,我们要利用这两点来增加得高分的可能性。

托福口语范文一:
Sample:
Though I have no problem working in isolation, I think working in groups can offer more benefits. In work, it’s common to meet problems. If there’s no colleague to discuss with and to together come up with a solution, my work efficiency my decrease. Besides, in groups, I would learn about teamwork. It’s a spirit not only important in a work setting but also in quite a lot of aspects in life. What’s more, working independently may mean an alone personal life. Well that’s not like me, I like making friends. So working in groups provides me with far better chance to expand social network.

托福口语范文三:
Well, personally, I prefer to attend lectures. Actually, studying alone can be boring and I am the kind of person who likes to interact with others when learning. By attending lectures, I get a chance to hear multiple points of view, although some points might not be as thought-provoking, I can learn a lot of stuff beyond the textbooks anyway, and understand how an idea works in real life when other students share their personal experiences. Additionally, the professor who holds the lecture can make difficult and abstract concepts and ideas easy to understand, one might not be able to understand some materials when studying alone.

I enjoyed Chinese class the most, the teacher would encourage us to act out the stories we’ve learned. It was a good experience of learning and also making friends.

托福口语提分技巧解析
篇6:托福口语提分重在细节
托福口语提分重在细节 这3个替换用词让表达更有层次
托福口语替换用词细节:转折不用But用Though
我们在练习托福口语的时候,遇到转折,我们习惯性的选择but,难免有些千篇 一律,给大家点建议,当你想表达转折语气的时候不妨忍一下,在句子后面加个though,你要表达的立马瞬间就不一样了!
举个例子:
Our team lost. It was a good game, though.
Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bitdifferent, though.
这种用法是我们考试时候用的比较少,却非常地道的一种用法。是不是比通篇的but!but!but!要好很多呢?假如能运用在托福口语考试中,这绝对是一个加分项!
托福口语替换用词细节:用Tend to代替Most of
当你想说most of…的时候,不妨改口成tend to,这样一来,是不是会显示你的词汇量比较多呢?
举个例子:
Most Chinese people cook at home instead of dining out. 就可以说成Chinese people tend to cook at home instead of dining out.
Tend to能代替被大家overuse的most of…/themajority of…效果绝对是杠杠的!
托福口语替换用词细节:减少Very使用次数
在托福口语答案里面,要有意识的尽可能抛弃very,一种方法是用pretty替代,另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。
举个例子:
That performance was pretty impressive.
I’m pretty sure about that.
还有instead of saying “very angry”, you can use the word “furious”。
同理,如果我们想表达a little + adj.,也可以找到相应的更传神的形容词,例如:tipsy = a little drunk,考生们在用词上尽量准确,减少对very和little的使用次数!
真题讲解:如何在托福口语中巧用动词词组
托福官方指南就托福口语给广大考生提了这么一点建议:Increase vocabulary and learn to use idiomatic speech appropriately. 扩大词汇量并学着用含有大量习惯用法的语料。美国人很喜欢在不同场合使用动词词组(phrasal verbs)比如在跟朋友说再见的时候可以加一句Hit me up whenever you are free. 这里的hit me up就是一个动词词组表示没事多联系我哦,这样的表达不仅简单明了而且可以使语言更加生动。在备考托福口语单项的过程中,如果大家积累一些动词词组并能用在口语的回答当中应用的话不仅可以给考试加分,在以后的留学生活中也大有裨益。在TPO口语文本里面就出现了一些动词词组比如:luck out(走运), put it off(推迟), bump into(偶遇)等。接下来笔者就对一些常用的跟out 和off搭配的动词词组做一下整理并以独立题目为例展示如何应用。
OUT: 表示向外
drop out; 跟quit同义即为退出;
题目:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: A person should study in the university to be successful.
如果我们不同意的话可以加一句:There are lots of successful business men who drop out of university, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg.
sort it out/figure it out/ work it out: 都是解决问题的意思。
如果是加入something的话需放在词组后面如:
在第五题中可以使用这句话:He has two possible solutions to sort out the scheduling problem.
OFF:表示开始或者结束:
比如表示开始的:take off; The plane is about to take off. 飞机马上就要起飞了。
set off: I am setting off tomorrow on a business trip to America. 明天我去美国商务旅行。
kick off: The meeting kicks off at four o'clock sharp. 会议四点准时开始。
表示结束的有:
switch off:stop giving your attention to someone or something译为停止对一件事件的关注;
题目:
Some students prefer to study for only one long time during a week. Others students prefer to study for several short times during a week. Which way do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
如果你选的是把学习的时间分为几段的话就可以说这么一句话:It's nice just to switch off, forget about study once in a while and do something fun like playing some sports, go fishing or even mountain climbing.
round off: 以X.X.X 为结束;
在Describe a memorable activity with your friend. 这道题中我们以这句话结束:
We rounded off the activity with happiness.
托福口语如何复述? 应遵循4大原则
托福口语考试共有六个题目,其中尤以后四个题目更加充分体现了融读、听、说在一起的特点。也就是说,在回答问题时,你不必慷慨激昂地陈述自己的观点,而是要利用听读材料中的具体信息回答所提出的与材料有关的问题。这其实就是在考察考生是否具备了对先前读到、听到的材料进行快速加工(归纳、总结、融合),然后再口头输出(变成自己的话)的口语复述能力。因而,为取得理想的成绩,在口试中,口语复述应遵循如下原则:
1.准确性原则(Accuracy)
准确性强调要准确挖掘与获取听、读材料的中心思想与细节内容,不能任凭主观臆想;同时还要注意用准确的语言输出。
2.完整性原则(Integrity)
完整性指的是:一要全面采集与应用听、读材料的信息,特别是不能遗漏任何重要的细节;二是所提供的答案语言要完整。
3.客观性原则(Objectivity)
客观性是指要客观陈述材料内容,不能妄加主观评论(除非有这样的要求)。
4.简洁性原则(Concision)
简洁性强调的是要采用简练的口语进行复述,不应过分堆砌辞藻。(当然了,几十秒钟的时间也不允许这样做。)语言要朴素,同时还要注意避免说出与主题无关的话语,更不能车轱辘话来回说。
不可不看的托福口语独立部分书籍、电影和音乐语料库
托福口语评分标准中出了natural、spontaneous、improvised等类似的字眼,译为自然即兴的,也就是说rater评分者更希望看到考生即兴的发挥而不是死板机械的背诵;但是如果考生平时不积累一些相关语料库想必也不会达到信手拈来的地步,为此笔者给大家带来一系列托福独立口语部分中的常见话题语料库,希望大家在背诵的基础上把题目回答的更自然。
很多托友在遇到跟book、movie、music相关的独立口语题目的时候除了会说可以陶冶情操之外再不会用其他的理由了,而可悲的是陶冶情操这个词在英文中很难找到对应的翻译;这样一来考生就被死死的卡在了这中题目上。其实如果我们仔细分析一下托福一二题的题目要求的话不难发现两个词examples and details,而如果合理的利用恰当的例子和细节此类题目迎刃而解。笔者看来,跟book、movie、music相关的题目中可以用放松身心、增加学习效率、让自己的生活变得更加充实等等来做example;并用书的名字、作者,音乐的种类、演唱者,电影的名字、剧情、演员的名字等来做details,这不仅让我们的答案变得更加真实更会使回答变得生动有趣。接下来我就以托福真题为例给大家提供关于以上话题的语料库包括必备段落、短语和词汇。
请看以下三道题目:
Describe a book that you believe is the most useful to you. Please explain the reason and include specific examples and details in your explanation.
Some people believe that the high school should teach music and art as other basic science. Some people think that providing music and art education for high school students is not necessary. What is your opinion and why?
Which is your favorite type of movie: action, drama, or others? Please include specific details and examples in your explanation.
不难发现以上三个题目中以不同形式出现了book、music、movie,如果大家对以下的语料库熟读并达到背诵的地步,以上类似题目绝不是问题。语料库如下:
关于music的类型Type/genre: rock & roll, R&B, reggae, country, Jazz, electronic, folklore(民谣), classical music;
伟大音乐家的名字Great Musicians:Beethoven, Bach, Mozart
流行音乐人Pop singers: Eminem, Beyonce, Jay Z. Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Rihana.
电影的类型Types of movies:thriller(惊悚片), suspense(悬疑片), comedy, action, documentary, science fiction, romance(爱情片), Animation(动画片), horror (恐怖片)
有名的电影导演Director(后面附有该导演的著名电影名字):
Peter Jackson: Return of the King
Steven Speilberg: Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)
James Cameron: Avatar(阿凡达), Titanic
Christopher Nolan: the Batman, the Dark Night;
著名演员Actors and actresses: Jackie Chen, Bruce Lee, Brad Pitt, Angelina Julie, Leonardo DiCaprio
就电影、音乐和书籍的作用和效果而言,笔者总结了一下几个共同特点;所以当考生看到任何跟电影、音乐和书籍有关的题目时都可以巧妙的应用以下理由。
缓解压力: ease/release + my pressure/stress/tension/depression from both my life and study;
让生活和学习变得更有效率、充实:improve /enhance/ increase + learning/study efficiency/productivity of the day;
精神焕发:refresh myself, revitalize/revive my mood;
激起情感和想象力:bring about different kinds of emotions; stir/stimulate my imagination; (注解:听音乐、看悬疑电影的时候)
句子:
小说、电影的线索很迷人:
The storyline/plot is very attractive/engaging/intriguing;
看电影、读小说的时候身临其境忘乎所以:
When I read this masterpiece/watch this movie, I find time irrelevant and I totally forget about the time. I tune everything out around me and am so attracted in the storyline and I feel tied up to the character in the novel/movie.
没有什么可以阻止我看完这部小说或电影:

托福口语提分重在细节
篇7:托福口语惯用提分语句
托福口语惯用提分语句分享
1.That’s OK.不用了.
大家相信吗? ”That’s OK.“ 和 ”OK.“ 指的是完全不同的意思喔. 如果别人问你要不要先洗个澡啊? 你答, ”That’s OK.“ 就是不要的意思, 答 ”OK.“ 却是要的意思.
记得有一次老美来我家作客, 我问他, ”Do you need something to drink?“ 他说 ”That’s OK.“ 我想 ”OK.“ 就是好的意思啊, 当然赶紧把茶水奉上, 老美一脸莫名其妙的表情. 其实我这是错误的示范. 要记住, 当别人说, ”That’s OK.“ 就表示 ”I’m fine.“ 我很好, 你不用操心的意思, 言下之意就是你不用麻烦了, 我会照顾我自己. 所以要记住, ”That’s OK.“ 其实有没关系, 无所谓的味道在里面. 所以如果你要明确的拒绝的话, 可以这么说, ”That’s OK. I don’t need anything to drink.“
2.Okay. Just checking.好吧. 我只是随囗问问.
在囗语中我们常会讲, 没什么, 我只是随囗问问而已. 这个随囗问问在英文里当然你可以讲, ”Just asking.“ 但事实上呢? 大多数的老美都会说, ”Just checking.“ Check 当动词用是一般指 ”检查“ 而言, 例如你想进来时可能忘了关门, 你就可以说, ”Go check if the door is still open.“ (检查看看门是不是还开着.) 但是老美说, ”Just checking.“ 时, 这个 check 要翻译成 ”随囗问问“ 会比较通顺一些. 这句话老美用得很多, 非常值得把它记下来.
另外有一种情形, 比如说我们说了一些无关痛痒的小事, 别人也没听楚, 当他再问你刚才说了些什么事, 也许你不想再覆述一遍. (反正是无关痛痒) 这时你可以说, ”Just a though.“; ”Just an idea.“ 意思就是我只是随囗说说而已. 不然的话也可以说, ”Never mind.“ (没什么大不了的, 不用操心.)
3.Same here.我也是.
我想当大家看到中文 ”我也是“ 的时候, 百分之九十九的人 ”me too.“ 会立刻脱囗而出. 甚至有些人还会说, ”So do I.“ 但是说真的, 老美是会说, ”me too.“ 和 ”So do I.“ 没错, 但好像太平常了一点!
比较酷一点的讲法应该是, ”same here.“ 它完完全全就等于 ”me too.“ 例如上网聊天最后大家常会说, ”All right. I have to go to bed now.“ (好吧, 我该去睡觉了.) 这时对方就可以回答, ”same here.“ 表示我也该睡觉了. 或是像老美在彼此自我介绍时, 通常一个会先说, ”Nice to meet you.“ 另外一个人就会说, ”me too.“ 但我也听过老美说, ”same here.“ 所以这个 ”same here.“ 是完完全全等于 ”me too.“ 的.
另外 ditto 这个用法也流行过好一阵子. 它的意思是, ”同上“ 当然也就等于 ”me too“ 的意思啦. 例如最有名的例子, 在Ghost 里, Demi Moore 和 Patrick Swayze 的对话, ”I love you.“ ”Ditto.“
4.Do you have any pet peeve? 你有什么样的怪毛病吗?
所谓的 pet peeve 就是个人生活习惯上的一些小毛病, 例如有些人不喜欢别人碰他的电脑, 要是你碰他的电脑他就会不高兴, 这就是所谓的 pet peeve. (而非 bad habit.) 通常 pet peeve 都是比较无伤大雅的小毛病, 几乎每个人都有属于他自己的 pet peeve. 所以就有老美说过, ”Everybody has his pet peeve.“ 当然 pet peeve 也常常成为老美谈话之间彼此开玩笑的话题. 记 ”Friends“ 有一集就是两边人马在比快问快答, 而其中有一类的问题就是 pet peeves. 蛮有意思的.
如果是这个坏习惯大到会影响别人, 像是在公共场所老是讲话很大声, 这就不是 pet peeve, 而要用 annoying 来形容. 例如我就常听老美抱怨, ”Don’t you think he is annoying?“ (你不觉得他很烦吗?)
5.I don’t have skeleton in my closet.我没有什么不可告人的秘密.
每次竞选期间一到, 一定会看到候选人争相证明自己的过去是清白的, 没有什么不可告人的秘密. 这句话在英文里要怎么讲呢? 当然最简单的说法就是, ”I don’t have any secret in the past.“ 但是这样的说法不如俚语的用法 ”I don’t have skeleton in my closet“ 来得传神. 在这里 skeleton 是指骷髅, 而 closet 是指衣柜的意思, 各位不难想象, 一个人把骷髅藏在自己的衣柜里作什么? 一定是有不可告人的秘密. 例如你在高中时考试作弊被抓到, 还被记了一个大过, 但你长大之后这件事再也没有人提过, 所以你也不想别人知道. 这件考试作弊就变成是你的 skeleton in the closet.
有时候我自己也会别出心裁, 把这句话改变一下, 展现一下自己的幽默感. 例如有次我室友不让我进他房里, 我就用这句话亏他, ”Do you have any skeleton in your room?“ (你房里是不是有什么不可告人的秘密啊?) 当然 in your room 是我自己改的, 但在那样的情况下, 却有另一番的味道.
托福口语发音的3个备考方法 帮你搞定口语“美式发音”
在托福口语的备考过程中,很多人都会为了自己发音问题而感到非常的郁闷。再好的内容表达,但是,没有正确发音始终还是徒劳无功的。托福口语中,考生最好选择美式发音,那么,美式发音怎么练呢?
第一点:不滥用”美音“中的儿化音。各位都知道,在”美音“中,有许多儿化音,比如comer中的mer,maker中的ker,等等。但据我观察,有些学习者不分具体情况,滥用儿音。比如我听过有一位朋友,将China中的na也念成儿音,而且念的很重,让人觉得很怪异,很别扭。”美音“中的儿音,通常只出现在er这样的字母组合上,并不是所有相似的音都发儿音,因此这一点希望初学者注意。
第二点:口头语言与书面语言最好保持一致。如果您选择了”美音“,那么您的口头语言(美音)最好与书面语言保持一致,也就是在文章中,尽量使用美国英语特有的词汇。比如我公司的小杨,就是一口标准的”美音“,但他的文章中,却使用railway、shop、got等英国英语特有的词汇,我曾跟他说过,既然你讲”美音“,那这些单词最好改成railroad、store、gotten等,以便让口头语言与书面语言保持一致。
第三点:某些国家的反美倾向。学完”美音“之后,去美国工作,当然没有任何问题,这是最理想的,但是万一您去某些反美国家工作,您就要考虑一下政治因素。我的巴勒斯坦朋友Shaath曾经跟我说,许多巴勒斯坦人厌恶Hebrew(希伯莱语)和English(英语),认为它们是Satan(撒旦)的语言,是Zionist(犹太复国主义)的语言。当然,这是一种很偏激的政治观点,但我们可以从中看出当地强烈的反以、反美情绪。假如您今后是去这种国家工作,为了您的工作顺利,甚至为了您的人身安全,我建议您学”英音“!
美式发音比较平易,比较随便,更加贴合美国社会交流方式,更能够讨评分者的喜欢,如果大家有余力,不妨多练习一下美式英语的发音。
篇8:托福口语和写作提分策略
托福如何取得高分?关于托福口语和写作备考方法!
口语部分
托福口语还是以“练”为主,无论是模仿还是其他,一定要张嘴说。我们在备考计划中,也要注意这些方面。
1、自主创造语言环境
“自言自语法”练习中,可以随心所欲地创造语言环境。可以在任何时候、的任何地方采取适当的语速和音调。
2、模仿训练
采用“自言自语法”提高自己的英语口语能力要学会模仿。模仿的原则:一要大声模仿。二要仔细模仿。优美的语音、的语调不是短期模仿所能达到的,需要有耐心,有信心,有恒心,不能有任何松懈,要相信自己完全有能力模仿得更好。
3、精选训练材料
托福口语备考的时候,建议考生有目的的选择你所说的材料,开始的时可以练习小故事,语言尽量的简单,生动,有明确的细节,这样对于把握语言的连贯性有好处,对于托福口语的提高也有着很重要的意义。
4、狠抓句型训练
很多考生觉得语法在考试中考的越来越少了,就不重视句型的练习,其实这是不对的,句型在最能直接反应说话的应用单位的,口语的培养就必须要抓句型的。
在自己在说英语的时候最好要带上手势,动作和表情,虽然说语言是人们交流的重要工具,但是不是唯一的工具,说话带上手势,动作和表情的话给人又是另一种感觉。
5、学会及时复述
当你阅读完一篇文章的时候,要用自己的话在复述一遍,刚开始的时候,你的复述中允许自己带点中文,但是还是要尽量能背诵下来,考生也可以在复述的过程中用文中出现的关键词或部分句型,作为复述的线索,辅助自己较完整的复述所读材料。还可以听磁带或是可能视影片后在复述,这种办法既能提高听力又能练习口语,还可以矫正自己的语调和语音。
6、丰富说话语言
考生说话要有感染力,你所说话能给别人带去一种什么样的感情,要是总是一个语调说话,跟机器人没有什么区别。
写作部分
很多同学在准备托福写作时,往往非常急躁,对基础知识不是特别重视,总是觉得词汇和句式的学习是没用的。但是,如果没有扎实的基本功,托福写作拿高分是不可能的。关于基本功的训练,有两个方面需要注意,即词汇和语法。
在词汇方面,根据写作的要求,背单词时不但需要记住单词的含义,还需要快速、准确的拼写出来。并在平时的练习过程中,注意积累词汇的高级表达及同义词。
在句式方面,富于变化的表达也会赢得考官的青睐。因此,在日常的写作中,需要同学们有目的有意识的去积累及练习高级句式。
除了基础积累外,就是培训。接受系统培训的最大优势就是节省时间。托福写作可以自学的,但是在备考过程中也需要有个人帮你评判你是否在进步?你现阶段的写作存在的问题是什么?你可以找一个老师,也可以找英语水平比较的同学帮你看一下。说到底,写作的提升是需要基础积累和系统培训相结合的。
谁说托福口语和写作不能拉分?这里就有一位口语25,写作26的浙大学员!
我是浙江大学的学生,我学的专业对语言要求比较低,我自己也比较水,所以考了好多好多次。
我考的次数很多,个人觉得成绩也很一般,想法如下:
阅读:
我开始考的时候阅读总是做不完,后来老师建议我背核心词汇,我背了五六遍核心词汇,阅读终于能做完了,再加上熟练背诵老师给的技巧,阅读25+没什么问题。后来我考了GRE,阅读就稳定在28+了。所以GRE学习对托福词汇量的拓展还是很有帮助的,托福遇到瓶颈的同学不妨开始背一背GRE的单词。但是托福改革之后难度增加,细节题变多,词汇题变少,所以我的阅读考得还是比较糟糕。就我来说,阅读考试要按技巧做,不可以吃饱了撑的去理解和学习文章,不然一定会做不完的。这次我六选三的题基本都放弃了,所以考完还有五分钟。这也是给后面的同学一个提醒,希望同学们上课能好好掌握老师讲授的技巧,并融汇贯通,这样不仅能节约时间,也能提高正确率。
听力:
听力先是背单词,然后是听内容,等到内容基本能听懂了,再加上一些技巧就可以考25+的分数。技巧比听力水平更重要,强化班老师给了一些PPT,我后来翻出来又学习了一遍,感觉收获很大。反正我听力也一般般,每次都要错一点,模拟练习的时候一直稳定在22分,考试的时候会稍微高一些。
口语:
这次口语是个意外之喜,我以为只能考22分。我考试的时候发挥比较好,心态也比较好,于是就信口胡说。因为考了很多次,所以模板已经滚瓜烂熟了,考的时候就用一下模板,听到什么就复述一遍。第四题我还是没答出来,因为这次的lecture不按套路出牌,所以我答得有点糟糕。但是分数还可以。口语还是很考水平的,信口胡说能说清楚就行了,不用太有负担。
写作:
我之前写作一直在27、28,这次不知道为什么只有26。我写作是套模板的。之前强化班是Y老师上的课,他给的思路都很有创造性,所以我考试的时候很快能想出思路,所以我在内容上没什么问题。托福改革之后综合写作出现了新题型,所以原来的模板不太好用,需要新准备一个模板。
很显然,虽然我四门都考得很一般,总分也够申请了,所以大家不要太有压力,随便考考嘛。最后希望大家都能考到理想的成绩,不辜负自己的努力!祝愿新航道越办越好!

学习有不同的方式,做事情,阅读或者聆听别人的教诲,你更倾向哪个?
1.读书可以培养交流能力 段落大意:孩子们读书可以增强他们以后在学习和工作中的交流能力
Reading skills are essential to success in society today. The ability to read is highly valued and very important for social and economic advancement. Instilling reading into a child’s life can prove to be one of the most valuable skills that they will ever learn. As a result from reading books, the child will be more likely to read and speak in front of people. This is a very marketable skill to have in the workforce and for school.

段落大意:读书可以扩充人们的词汇量,增强人们对词汇的理解。
The second effect that reading books has is vocabulary growth. Along the same lines of comprehension, the growth of vocabulary is also very important. Having a large vocabulary is not only impressive but also useful in many areas of public speaking. For example, many politicians say the same things over and over again, and to the untrained listener this might go on unnoticed. Their ability to do this comes largely from an extensive vocabulary base. Many different words have the same meaning, or as they are more commonly referred to are synonyms. Upon looking up a word in the dictionary one might be surprised to realize that they already know the definition of it. By cross-checking these words and learning the different synonyms to them, one’s vocabulary is being established. As a result of reading books over a period of time, a learning process is formed.
113 Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your community. Use specific details in your discussion.

1.私立学校的建立的必要性以及优势
段落大意:私立学校的教育更容易为孩子们打下良好基础,无论是在他们的学习还是工作能力上。
As time has gone by, Americans have increasingly paid more attention to the schooling process, trying harder all the time to get the best education possible for their children. As a result, more parents are turning from the public school systems to the private schools. This happens for several reasons. First, students that graduate from private schools tend to be better prepared for college. Second, private schools open up many opportunities to succeed in the business world. Last, private schools allow parents and students to decide which school will give students the best education. Overall, private schools offer a better education for high school students than public schools.
2.社区学校的种.种优势
段落大意:教育被全社会都认为是很重要的事业。在社区建立学校,方便家长,便于学生交流。
Many people in today’s society believe it’s wise to send their children to private schools. In making the decision on whether to put children in public or private schools, they look to four main factors: curriculum, class size, the graduation rate, and cost. When people have to pay for something, their first thought is, “Will I be getting what I’m paying for?” With a private school education, the amount you have to pay is usually well worth it. Here students can find people who are just like them and can associate better.
141 If you could makeone important change in a school that you attended, what change would you make?Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

Oral communication skills have, in fact, been found to be the second mostimportant job skill by the American Society of Personnel Administrators. Evenbusiness colleges have begun to recognize the importance of communicationskills in business success and many have begun to offer their own communicationclasses.
4.理财能力的培养
段落大意:学生理财能力的培养以及发展,能让学生更加清楚的理解未来财产的状况以及规划。
Money management is all about discipline and how wehandle risk-that's, not overtrading, cutting your losses, and letting yourprofit run. In other words, money management is theprocess of analyzing trades for risk andpotential profits, determining how much risk, if any, is acceptable andmanaging a trade position to control risk and maximize profitability. Theimportance of money management can best be shown through drawdown analysiswhich is simply the amount of money you lose in trading, expressed as apercentage of your total trading equity. Drawdown does not measure overallperformance, only the money lost while achieving that performance. Itscalculation begins only with a losing trade and continues as long as theaccount hits new equity lows.

有些学校强制学生穿校服, 有些不要求。 你喜欢哪种?
1.校服是学校在权威和秩序方面的体现
段落大意:校服对昭显学校权威,维持学校秩序有着重要作用。
Public schools have recently stepped up to their 'A' game around the country. For a while, dress codes have been implemented in private and parochial schools across the county. It wasn't until more recent that the issue was brought to discussion about a dress code in public schools. Uniforms serve a purpose to the schools that are adapting the change in attire. The uniform dress code has helped make private and parochial schools more prestigious for their organization and the results of it. Uniforms would be beneficial to the public school system because a lot of what the public school system is known for would be stopped because of the newly executed dress code.
2.学校秩序的下滑,使得校服的规制十分重要
段落大意:近年来学校的纪律在各方面都有所下滑,校服的规定有利于扭转这种局面。
In recent years the face of public schools has changed drastically. Our schools were always intended to be a place where the students could go and learn in a safe and secure environment. Unfortunately for us, the times have changed; discipline, safety and security in our public schools have all fallen by the wayside. Today, our children are faced with the growing threat of violence and crime in their classrooms. In aspirations of bringing back the essential requirements for education in the classroom, numerous parents, teachers, and school officials have come to conclusion that requiring school uniforms is a clear-cut step in reversing the downward trend of our schools. The majority feel that school uniforms will help expedite the effort to guide our schools in the right direction. The implementation of school uniforms has the potential to help bring under control the disciplinary problems found in our schools, and it can do so in many ways.
篇9:的托福口语提分技巧
实用的托福口语提分技巧
在托福备考领域,有一句话叫「得口语者得托福」。这句话我一直深信不疑,而且越来越信。所以今天分享的方法很简单,就是「把托福口语作为第一科、也是最重要的一科来备考」。
P.S. 我从09年开始在新东方教托福,托福口语和GMAT写作都是满分。讲课快十年了,所以,相信我,读完,你会觉得「相见恨晚」的。
一、为什么第一科就要备考口语?
托福口语的考试形式决定了,第一题和第二题是独立问题,是传统的「自由回答」问题,大家并不觉得陌生。
而三四五六题,作为综合问题,其中有阅读、有听力,考察的是读懂、听懂、记录、归纳、转述的能力。所以,在备考和考试的过程中,我们必然要学会并刻意练习阅读听力如何记笔记、如何更理解、如何做转述的动作和技能。而这些,都在直接地帮助我们的阅读和听力科目。也就是,我们备考了一科,等于备考了三科。
我也一直在强调,练习阅读和听力的同学们,一定要在读完和听完之后,加一步「复述原文大意」的练习步骤。哪怕只是要点大意,也非常有价值。更何况,托福听力主要就是在考「文章的大意理解和关键逻辑」。
二、为什么口语是最重要的一科?
所谓的「得口语者得托福」,其实很好理解,就是口语分数不高,总分不会特别高;口语分数如果高,总分一定比较高。这是一个托福开始实行IBT(机考)以来的必然规律。
那些总分上了110+的,几乎无一例外,口语都是24+,那些卡着上不去的,也几乎无一例外,口语都突破不了23。所以,口语分数,才是决定你是「考过了」而已,还是「考出高分」的真正分水岭。这就是为什么,我好几次写作没写完就敢提交,因为口语满分。当然,也是因为下午赶着去讲课。
而且,现在越来越多的美国名校,要求口语单科成绩25+(尤其针对TA和RA),这就是我们为什么这么强调口语成绩的重要性。我们一直在努力的就是让大家能够真正提高口语成绩。事实上,我们也让很多同学用17天就考出了托福口语24+。
三、如何制定计划并有效展开复习?
第1步:了解考试本质,学习正确方法。
很多人会认为,第一步应该是背单词,这是大错特错的。姑且不说你背的单词是不是有用的(很有可能背了很多不会考到的词),即便背对了,如果对考试的本质理解有重大偏差,会很难考出高分的,甚至越考越低。比如,我经常强调,托福口语独立问题考的不是类别,而是逻辑,不要去做Topic分类(所有分类都是错的),而是要理解问题因果。这也是为什么,我们可以让同学们「用一段素材,秒杀所有题目」。
第2步:只背有用的单词。
什么叫有用呢?就是背了(大概率上)一定会被考到的单词。市面上传言的考托福需要有10000到12000词汇量的说法,夸张了太多,也误导了太多。根据数据:托福考试总共出现过的词(Token)的数量是:13000+,只出现过一次的词的数量是:4100+,出现过17次以上的词的数量是:1000+。而这些出现次数在2-17次之内的词汇,才是我们必须要掌握的核心词汇。千万不要像我从前一样,把所有字典啃一遍,很伤身体的。
而按照同样的规律,托福口语的核心词汇,更是被我们筛到了800+而已。这套托福口语核心词汇的重要程度远高于全科词汇,如果你需要,我可以给你。私信我吧~
第3步:在有指导、有正确方法、且有满分标准可作为参考的前提下,重复练习。
注意,除非你是超级学霸,且悟性强大到通透,否则,直接开始练习一定是走弯路的。其实,超级学霸一上来也是走弯路的,只不过极个别人能够在最后时刻调整方向,不至于偏差太大。但是对于大众考生来讲,一定要在每次练习之后有权威导师辅导、练习之前理解了正确方法和动作,并且随时可以参考满分的标准以帮助自己找到问题并相应提高。
这三个认知逻辑,和一套操作方法,应该会帮到大家有效快速搞定托福。我相信,是这样的。
昨天是教师节,在这里真心地谢谢大家的祝福。也感谢从前教导、关怀、鼓舞过我的老师们,因为你们的伟大,才有我的光荣。谢谢您~
