3.托福口语的时间分配

　　托福口语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。

4.托福口语的复习重点

　　一、保持逻辑思维的敏锐

　　西方人在口语表达时会事先在头脑中形成类似于写作一样的大致的逻辑框架，对开头(提出论点)，中间(发展论点)，结尾(总结或辨析)进行规划。所以学生只要应用了逻辑的开头，以此来陈述立场，进而发展论点，就会让考官形成思想认同，觉得你这个人逻辑思维到位，从而取得高分。而很多中国考生过于“含蓄”，回答问题毫无计划性。以这种思维方式来与西方人进行沟通，不仅影响双方理解，仅考试时间(通常是45秒-1分钟)，就不允许。

　　二、注意语音和语法

　　很多中国考生理解为说得快就是英语流利的体现，结果发音含混不清，很多考官重点考察的发音不到位，而在词语运用上过于简单，信息含量低，影响考官打高分。因此，考生在陈述过程中要有丰富的抑扬顿挫。对于语句重音、语调方式及停顿等，要掌握得自然飘逸。并注意口语的修辞化，对一些修辞能恰到好处地进行引用。

　　三、掌握好答题时间

　　平时考生在准备口试的时候应该强迫自己对于某个话题在最短的时间内形成一个清晰、有逻辑性的观点以及证明过程，并试图先用中文表达出来，以后再慢慢地过渡到英语上面去。

There are a few tablets on the wall with famous sayings which have inspired and stimulated me a lot. The interesting books make me preoccupied with them and I have learned a lot of knowledge from them.Secondly, it’s very quiet and helps me relax. When I am tired after a long time of study, I usually open all the windows and listen to the birds singing and smell the pleasant scent of the flowers. Looking far into the sky, watching the clouds moving slowly, all these just seem to be fascinating.
