2.托福口语的语段朗读法
1、他们的语音语调比较标准,或者说非常标准。
2、他们的语言表达非常的流利连贯。
3、他们在考场上表现的自信和大方。
对于正在备考的朋友来说,这三大优点,是完全可以提前培养好的。给大家推荐的一个方法"语段朗读法"。用这个方法练发音,要注意六点:
(1)段子的难度要适中!比如,你不要拿GRE阅读来练发音朗读。要想清楚,你要做的朗读段子练发音,而不是练阅读理解。
(2)这个阅读材料要有一个漂亮的音频跟它相匹配,这样你跟着音频去跟读,去朗读。
(3)了解语音语调知识。比如说哪些音和哪些音容易混淆。
(4)朗读时,声音要端坐挺胸、大声清晰、音调准确。
(5)你在读这个东西的时候,你可以把它录下音来,让你周围的朋友,英语发音比较好的朋友去帮你听一听,把你的错误给你挑出来。
(6)阅读的材料,不在于你读了多少段,而在于在读每一段,每一遍,你是不是有所改进。你把10-20个段子,每个段子都读得特别棒,就OK了。
通过一段时间的朗读练习,你的英语口语会从形式上得到巨大改观。把这种"朗读的感觉"利用到考前练题和考场答题,你的答案就能从众多考生的答案里"脱颖而出",从而得到口语高分。

5.托福口语task5的解题思路
一、题型分析
Task5与Task3、Task4相比较它在难易程度上又有所提高,因为它是要求大家在听完一段conversation/lecture之后直接表述,少了阅读部分的信息支持。
Task5主要是关于Campus situation topic,属于summarizing a problem and solutions这类题型。Task5中通常会是一位教授和学生或者两个学生之间关于某个问题进行讨论,然后会提出两个解决方案,让你从中建议一个合理的方案并且说明理由。建议大家分为四个部分来陈述:首先交待问题,然后说明解决方案,接着表明你的choice,最后说明你的reason。顺着这个步骤走,在作一些针对练习,一定会把这个难题拿下的!
建议大家在做笔记时参照一下这个格式,会让你的记录更加有条理,陈述起来也方便你提取一些重要信息。
二、例题解析
Sample conversation
Listen to a conversation between two students.
W: Say, Lenny, do you know anyone who wants a cat?
M: A cat? No, why?
W: Well, this poor little cat showed up outside my apartment one day. He was hungry and cold, so I gave him some cheese, and now he’s still hanging around. My landlord found out and said I have to get rid of it because pets aren’t allowed.
M: You shouldn’t be feeding it. If you stop giving it food, it will go away.
W: I know, I know, but he’s so hungry. I like the cat, and I want him to have a good home. Actually, I’d like to keep him myself.
M: Well, if that’s the case, then you’d better look for another apartment---one that allows pets.
W: I hate to do that. My apartment is so close to campus.
M: Why don’t you give the cat to your mother? She likes animals.
W: My mother already has two cats, so I don’t know----
M: Well, you’d better do something fast, or your landlord will throw you out.
Describe the women’s problem and the suggestions the man makes about how to solve it. What do you think the women should do and why?
Sample answer
The woman gives food to a hungry cat near her apartment, but the cat can’t live there. The woman’s apartment is not allowed for any pets, so he has to do something with pets. The man suggests the woman to find another apartment which allows for pets. But the woman thinks her apartment is close to the campus. The man also suggests the woman to give cat to anyone else. The woman can’t find this people. I think the woman should give pet to anyone else, because it is good for cat.
三、试题分析
(1) 听了这段陈述之后,感觉很有条理,他是完全按照题目要求来回答,而且也很符合我们前面提到的分四个部分来陈述,更重要的是他在规定的时间内圆满地回答完毕!
(2) 当然还有需要改进的地方,譬如,allow for pets的用法在这里并不合适,因为 to allow for 用作固定短语搭配使用时,它表示“考虑到,顾及”,和take something into consideration的意思是一样的。For example, to allow for the free movement, the elbow and knee areas of the spacesuits will also be altered.所以我的这位客户的相应的这两个句子可以表示为: The women’ landlord does not allow her to raise/ keep the cat. The man suggests that she should find another apartment which allows pets. 没有Suggest somebody to do something这个短语的用法, suggest something to somebody这是正确的。所以大家在平常的学习中一定要多多留意固定短语搭配的正确使用,这一点很重要。
(3) People是复数名词,所以不能用this来修饰,可以改为:The woman can’t find such suitable person.
(4)此外,大家还要注意人称的正确使用,文中“so he has to do something with pets”应该改为she。问题虽小但是也要引起托友们的关注。
