不知不覺還有一個月就2017年了，猴年馬月都過了那麼久，你的托福還好嗎（微笑臉）？尤其是口語，一直以來讓許多中國考生感到非常苦惱。到底怎樣才能提高口語分數呢？？？不如看看新GRE首個滿分得主，托福119的robin大神的口語攻略吧~

都讓開，我要開始裝逼了

托福口語分為2個部分，independent task, 也就是常見的口語第一題和第二題 (task 1, task 2), 另外便是Integrated task, 也就是常見的口語 第三題到第六題，這其中又兩個系列， campus situation (task 3 & task 5) 和academic lecture (task 4 & task 6)

下面會用具體的列子分析每一道題考察的點。

一、 Task 1 & Task 2 Familiartopic

1. Task 1

這道題會給你一個熟悉的話題讓你談談一些經歷和理解。

? 答題要點：

① 拿到這道題建議直接找腦子裡想到的第一個想法，然後細節展開就可以。第一時間想到的就是最好的，不要去權衡優劣。

② 建議用以下的方式 Topic Sentence — Supporting Sentence — Example/details，也就是主題句+原因或者目的+細節的方式答題。

③ 掌握好時間的控制，主題句+論點句只需1-2句話。目前比較好的方法是兩點論，考官在意的你怎麼闡述你的觀點，也就是後面的解釋+1-2句話的例子支持。

? 注意事項：

① 任何情況下不要使用模板，可以使用firstly, secondly等表述邏輯的用詞，但是答問切忌假大空。

② 這道題只說一個點就可以，但是一個點的答題方法存在一定的風險性，比如例子過於冗長。有些題目比如問性格隨著時間而變化這種可以答自己的過去和現在的對比，這種題可以答一個點。這道題最多只能說二個點，兩點分配上建議用這個結果

主題句 Topic Sentence + 解釋 How/What/Why+分析 1-2句話

③ 有沒有結尾無所謂。說不完也並不影響。關鍵是細節要出來。

2. Task 2

這題多半為同意反對某個statement

? 答題要點：

① 一定要選擇一方面，因為這樣更好展開，中立態度不但兩邊都要照顧，同時也無法展開。

② 這道題依然才用兩點論，方式依然是採用 Topic Sentence — Supporting Sentence — Example/details，也就是同意或者不同意+原因1+具體例子1+原因2+具體例子2。

③ 考官不會因為你選擇的觀點不一樣而扣分，因此拿到題後腦子裡想到的觀點就是最好的觀點。同時選擇的時候一定要找最好說的觀點，也就是容易有話說的觀點

對於一二題的建議，只說一個點完全足夠了，一定要個人化，firstly, secondly這種模板化的辭彙最好不要出現。答題建議使用 主題句+論據+具體例子的方法。

目前獨立口語分成四大類+一個雜項分類。人物、地點、活動、物品，還有其他各種雜項可以按照下面的分類進行準備：

二、 Task 3 & Task 5 - CampusSituation

1. Task 3

也就是Campussituation, 這題是托福口語的第一道綜合口語。也就是先閱讀材料，然後根據聽力回答。

? 答題要點：

① 閱讀材料中的三個點

1) proposal/plan的內容

2) 原因/目的 1

3) 原因/目的 2

② 聽力中的兩個點

1) 支持或者反對的原因 1

2) 支持或者反對的原因 2

? 注意事項：

①想要拿高分一定要用自己的話來轉述或者複述

②這題開始可以使用firstly,secondly等提示詞

以TPO 15 Task 3為例

Reading Part：

University should pave running trails

The university has about three miles ofunpaved dirt running trails that pass through the forest near campus. I thinkthere trails should be paved with cement. One reason for paving the trailswould be to increase their safety. When it rains, the dirt turns to mud andbecomes very slippery, so the runners who use them can slip and fall. Pavementwould solve this problem. Also, paving would make the trails look nicer, whichwould encourage students to use them. Bumps in the trail would be smoothed outand weeds would be paved over, making the trail more attractive to runners.

Sincerely,

Sally Jacobs

你會聽到以下內容：Speaking_Q3.MP3

（以上音頻點擊即可下載）

拿到這道題首先是找5個點

1) Proposal, pave the dirt trails

2) reason 1, make it safer

3) reason 2, make it nicer and attrack morerunners

聽力中的兩個點

1) will make it not safe but hurt yourbones and joints

2) will not attract more runners becausestudent would like to enjoy the nature and get away from campus or city.

記得這題想要拿高分一定要用自己的話說，於是我們有了下面的答案：

The proposal is university should pave thedirt trails with cement because by doing this, university can make the trailless slip and the runners wont be falling. And also, they are hoping thepavement will make the trails look better and attract more runners.

The man thinks this is a terrible idea.Speaking of the reason, he thinks that running on hard surface frequently willnot make the runners safer, because being exposed to hard surface will actuallylead to injuries and harm to bones or joints. Besides, it wont attract morerunners because the pavement will make the trails just like any other sidewalk.Students like to run on the dirt trail since it makes them feel like gettingaway from cities and running in the nature.

TPO 15 Task 3.mp3

2. Task 5

這道題也是campussituation的一道,也是綜合口語中最簡單的一道。主要是聽力材料+作答。

? 答題要點：

① 答題三個點

1) 聽力材料中男/女遇到的問題

2) 2個解決方案

3) 你自己的建議

② 關於問題解決方案和你自己的suggestion 建議1:1, 也就是前面30S 後面30 s

? 注意事項：

① 平衡好答題時間

② 盡量用自己的話說

以TPO 15 Task 5為例

聽力：Speaking_Q5.MP

參考答案：Task 5 Sample.mp3

三、 Task 4 & Task 6 - AcademicLecture

1. Task 4

Task 4是口語中最難得一道題，因為涉及到一個學術概念，聽力中教授用一個例子說明了這個概念。

? 答題要點：

① 概念定義，用自己的話說明某個概念，技巧：看到諸如「this is known as」, 「this is referred to as」, 「this is called」, 「people call this」, 「people refer tothis as」等類似表達的時候 , 此表達的前邊一句話 , 很可能便是閱讀中概念的定義句 .

② 例子

③ 說明這個例子和概念的關係，這也是很多同學4題只能拿到Fair的原因，因為少了這句話。

? 注意事項：

① 概念只需要一句話就可以， 用時保證在10-15s

② 例子只需要summary便可以，不用引用過多細節。適當加入小細節可以展示獲取信息能力，但是矯枉過正就得不償失了

③ 一定要簡單概括這個例子和概念的關係

④ 如果聽力部分的例子中出現專有名詞(如植物名和動物名), 可以用諸如 a kind of plant和 a kind of bird之類的短語表達 , 不會說專有名詞不會造成扣分

⑤ 想要口語高分一定要用自己的話來總結概念和例子，同時說出例子和概念的關係。

以下面這道題為例：

Perceptual Constancy

How an object affects our senses depends inpart on external conditions, and these conditions are always changing. Anobject viewed from one angle presents a different shape to our eyes than whenviewed from another angle; similarly, as the distance from which we view anobject changes, the object will appear larger or smaller. In spite of this,even as conditions change and we see objects differently, we still recognizethat they remain the same. This is what is known as perceptual constancy. Ifnot for perceptual constancy, we might have difficulty recognizing familiarobjects if we viewed them in a new and different context.

你會聽到以下聽力內容：

Speaking_Q4.MP3

從This is what isknown as perceptual constancy.我們知道前面一句話就是 Perceptual constancy的定義， even as conditions change and we see objects differently, we stillrecognize that they remain the same

例子中教授舉了兩個例子

1) kitchen plate角度不同，一個circle, 一個 oval

2) 在教室距離不一樣，professor看起來體積不一樣。

最重要的第三步便是來說明這個例子如何來支持這個概念的。

1)The first example shows that the shape ofthe plate changes, but because of the concept of perceptual constancy, we don』tthink we have two plates

2) The second example shows that althoughthe professor seems to have different sizes in the two situations, again,because of perceptual constancy, we know he』s the same person.

於是我們有了下面的答案：

Task 4 Sample.mp3

2. Task 6 - Academic Lecture

目前托福口語Task 6的幾種考法：

① 解決一個問題的兩個方案

② 一個物體或方法的兩種使用方法

③ 一個過程的兩個步驟

④ 一個原因導致的兩個現象

⑤ 一個後果產生的兩個原因

⑥ 一個概念的兩種定義

? 答題要點：

① 5個點

1) 教授在討論的主題

2) 教授討論的主題的第一個方面

3) 第一個方面的例子

4) 教授討論的主題的第二個方面

5) 第二個方面的例子

②總結聽力中的例子時候應該抓住最核心的要點

? 注意事項：

① 想獲得高分一定要用自己的話轉述

②如果聽力部分的例子中出現專有名詞(如植物名和動物名), 可以使用諸如 a kind of plant和 a kind of bird之類的短語表達

下面以 TPO 2 Task 6為例

聽力內容：Speaking_Q6.MP3

聽完內容後會注意到以下5個點

1. The professor is discussing twodifferent definitions of money.

2. A broad definition of money is anythingthat can be used to make purchases with.

3. For example, people might give a taxidriver coins or bills, or even vegetables for a ride.

4. A narrower definition of money issomething that must be accepted as payment, legal tender.

5. For example, a taxi driver must acceptcoins and bills, but he does not have to accept vegetables, because vegetablesare not legal tender in the U.S.

於是我們有了以下答案：

The professor is talking about twodifferent definitions of money. A broad definition of money is anything thatcan be used to make purchases with. For example, people might give a taxidriver coins or bills for a ride. If they don』t have coins or bills, they mayeven use vegetables as a form of money to purchase the service, I mean, theride. A narrower definition of money is something that must be accepted aspayment, in a more formal way, legal tender. For example, a taxi driver mustaccept coins and bills because they are legal tender in the U.S., however, hedoes not have to accept vegetables, because he is not required by the law to dothis.
