托福口语是让很多考生头疼的一个项目,很多考生将新托福的口语考试当做成绩提高的一大拦路虎,但是不可否认的是,托福口语考试的增加可以更全面的考察学生的英语应用能力,对考生的英语能力有实际的明显的帮助。
新托福的口语考试大约30分钟,共有6道题目,一般称作Speaking Tasks 1-6。如果把它们进行分组的话,正好两两每组:Speaking Task 1 and Speaking Task 2为一组,解题关键词是characteristics(特性、特质);Speaking Task 3 and Speaking Task 5为一组,解题关键词是campus(校园);而Speaking Task 4 and Speaking Task 6归入最后一组,解题关键词是class(课堂)。
Characteristics: Speaking Task 1
第一题和第二题除了都是关于一些familiar topics以外,它们另一个共通之处就是涉及到人或事物的characteristics。比如在Speaking Task 1里面,you will be asked to describe an important book. 具体题目见下:
Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason.
Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.
Preparation Time: 15 seconds
Response Time: 45 seconds
针对这样的题目,你谈什么样的书其实并不重要。关键在于你说出了这本书之后,给出怎样的合理解释,即题目要求中的specific details and examples,而这些东西就是我们所说的characteristics。换言之,你把这本书的三大特性描述出来,就等于给出了相应的细节和例证。请看下面的列表:
The reasons why the book was important
Reason 1 = Characteristic 1: It gave me a lot of practical guidance
Reason 2 = Characteristic 2: It had a lot of illustrations to help me understand
Reason 3 = Characteristic 3: There was an interesting theoretical framework in the book
