在新托?？谡Z(yǔ)考試中，要求考生的答案要清晰（clear）和連貫（coherent）。在緊張的、有嚴(yán)格時(shí)間限制的考試過(guò)程中要做到這兩個(gè)要求，一個(gè)最為行之有效的方法便是使用邏輯感非常強(qiáng)烈的句型。本文將主要針對(duì)新托福口語(yǔ)Task3, 通過(guò)一些常見(jiàn)真題來(lái)探討一下最能體現(xiàn)邏輯感的四大狀語(yǔ)從句（即時(shí)間，原因，條件，讓步）在考試當(dāng)中的運(yùn)用，從而幫助考生們有效展現(xiàn)清晰和連貫的語(yǔ)言能力。

二．Task 3真題示范講解
例1：
Ø 題目簡(jiǎn)介：
| Reading part | Listening part |
| 增加fine art course | 學(xué)校要求必修3個(gè)藝術(shù)課，:音樂(lè)舞蹈表演雕塑，男的不同意。 |
| 理由： | 理由： |
| work requires various ability, | 學(xué)生失去了更多自由選課機(jī)會(huì) |
| good for work. | 不能選更多和專(zhuān)業(yè)相關(guān)的課他學(xué)banking, 要上finance的課 |
| help students relax. | 不是每個(gè)人都對(duì)藝術(shù)有天分 喜歡上這些課，他根本不enjoy雕塑，浪費(fèi)，stressful |
Ø 回答演示1：
From the reading material, we know that the college is going to add music, dance and sculpture as compulsory courses. the man in the conversation thinks that this is a bad idea. First, he majors in banking and has to take finance class，he has to take the fine art courses, and he would lose some opportunities to choose the courses that he needs. Also, he points out that he doesn’t enjoy sculpture at all, it would help students relax, not everyone has the talent about arts. He has to take these courses, it will be a waste of time and make him stressful.
Ø 答案解析：
新托?？谡Z(yǔ)part3中，通常需要考生將主要人物的態(tài)度以及兩個(gè)理由清楚地表達(dá)出來(lái)，我們可以看到在這個(gè)范例中，雖然考生將reading part和listening part 中重要信息都涵蓋在答案里，而且沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)任何明顯的語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，但是因?yàn)槿鄙俦匾倪壿嬤B接詞，整個(gè)表達(dá)給我們一種非常凌亂的感覺(jué)，毫無(wú)任何連貫和清晰可言。這也是很多考生之所以雖然將筆記記得非常詳細(xì)，卻依然拿不到理想分?jǐn)?shù)的主要原因。
Ø 回答演示2：
From the reading material, we know that the college is going to add music, dance and sculpture as compulsory courses. However, the man in the conversation thinks that this is a bad idea, due to the following reasons. First, considering that he majors in banking and has to take finance class， he would lose some opportunities to choose the courses that he needs, if he had to take the fine art courses. Also, he points out that he doesn’t enjoy sculpture at all even though it would help students relax, for not everyone has the talent about arts. If he had to take these courses, it would be a waste of time and make him stressful.
Ø 答案解析：
在這個(gè)回答范例中，我們?cè)谠瓉?lái)答案的基礎(chǔ)上加入了若干表示原因，讓步，條件邏輯關(guān)系的連接詞，構(gòu)成了狀語(yǔ)從句，可以很明顯感到改動(dòng)后的答案體現(xiàn)了強(qiáng)烈的邏輯感，前后句的關(guān)系更加緊密，語(yǔ)意立刻變得清晰，連貫。

Ø 回答演示：
The school has implemented a new proposal that they are going to set up a table talk at lunch time in the dining hall, when the professor will be invited to join the lunch. And the woman holds a positive view towards the announcement for the following reasons. First, if the professor could sit with them, the program would provides a chance for the students to ask questions in order to understand the courses, because the professor is normally very busy and although they could use the office hour, it is not enough for all the students to talk to the professor. Another reason is that since she hasn’t known other students very well yet，the table talk could help to enhance the relationship among students , for it would offer a chance for students to communicate and share similar ideas and hobbies.

| 學(xué)校將停止提供熱早餐 | 女孩不同意因?yàn)椋?/strong> |
| 理由： | 熱的食物寒冷的天氣對(duì)身體更好 |
| 冷的食物更健康 | 去校園外買(mǎi)滿(mǎn)意的食物更貴 |
| 限制早餐食物種類(lèi)更省錢(qián) |
Ø 回答演示：
The school has implemented a new policy that the students will be offered cold breakfast foods instead of hot ones. And the woman is totally against the announcement. The first reason she gives is that although cold foods are usually healthy, hot foods like hot cereal are sometimes even better for health , in case that it’s on cold morning. And the second one is based on the fact that the new policy will make students spend more money instead of saving money. This isbecause when the students can’t buy foods they want on campus, they’re going to get them off campus, which means they will have to pay more money to get the expensive foods.
通過(guò)以上的陳述以及范例講解，希望考生們可以充分體會(huì)并理解，在口語(yǔ)表達(dá)的清晰與連貫性上，四大狀語(yǔ)從句所起的至關(guān)重要的作用，并在考試中有效運(yùn)用，以助考生們獲得理想成績(jī)。
