托福聽力只能不斷說和聽,那么常用的備考技巧有哪些呢?想必是不少出國人士比較關(guān)心的問題,和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)一起來看看托福聽力備考技巧,歡迎閱讀。
托福聽力備考技巧
1、單詞是大前提,名詞要特別重視
建議大家把歷年托福聽力中出現(xiàn)名詞背一下,很管用,這些詞匯都是長對話里的重要特征,其實聽懂這些往往對你猜測答案有意想不到的效果,其實托福聽力中長對話一般不會說和我們常識相反的事物,你能夠聽明白在說個什么東西,即使后來很多不懂,連蒙帶猜也可以做對3-4個。
2、堅持以聽力真題為根本
沒有完全了解和熟悉托福聽力真題前,不要去聽friends,voa,空中美語等等,特別是不要聽瘋狂英語。也許我的能力不夠,依照我看瘋狂英語要是你能聽懂2/3,那么你聽力已經(jīng)不是一般水平了,所以你能夠熟悉所有真題,耳熟能詳,就已經(jīng)算是功力高深了,千萬不要好高騖遠。
新托福聽力備考方法一:善于模仿
不要盲目追求題海戰(zhàn)術(shù),不斷地找新題目來練,而應(yīng)該把注意力放在聽過的題目上,進一步分析、研究,并認真模仿聽力題目中的各種語音、語調(diào)、語氣、習(xí)語、俚語等。
3、一邊聽對話一邊做題
如果只聽材料不做題,容易造成聽后不反應(yīng)文章意思的壞習(xí)慣,即便大部分能夠聽懂,基本都可以做對題,那么你是否想過有些你似乎理解意思,其實根本是錯誤的,只有做過題目對過答案才能夠糾正,就算不存在以上問題,雖然聽力選項答案簡單,但是個體瀏覽和理解速度有差異,長期只聽不作題必定導(dǎo)致你掃描答案速度降低。
新托福聽力備考方法二:掌握多義詞
口語的最大特點是一詞多義,這也是導(dǎo)致一些考生明明聽出了是哪個詞,卻仍然搞不懂其在題目中確切含義的重要原因。因此,在平時練習(xí)中要注意掌握聽力題目中常用詞匯和句式的其他用法。
新托福聽力備考方法三:了解美國文化背景和思維方式
語言是文化和思維的載體,努力挖掘聽力題目中的美國文化背景和思維模式,就能在聽力過程中變被動為主動。
新托福聽力備考方法四:不斷記憶
托福獨立口語備考-獨立口語如何用細節(jié)擴展段落
托??谡Z獨立題考兩道:
第一個題我們叫做描述題,要求考生描述其熟悉的一個人,一個地方,一個物體或者一件事情;
第二個題叫二選一題,要求考生從所給的兩個選項里面選一個并給出支撐自己選擇的理由。
兩個獨立題都明確表示要學(xué)生在段落里面給出足夠的細節(jié)和例子來充實段子。
但大多數(shù)中國考生在回答這兩個題的時候都會陷入一個問題,段落過于空泛,段子明顯不充實,很多時候都是在重復(fù)一個觀點一個解釋,而沒有讓這個段落往前發(fā)展下去,導(dǎo)致得分偏低。
今天就跟大家說說如何用細節(jié)拓展獨立口語內(nèi)容。
比如我們來看一個例題:
Task 1
Talk about a popular gathering place in your town where people like to go.
Describe the place and explain why people enjoy going there. Include specific
examples and details in your response. 要求描述一個人們愛聚集的一個地方并解釋原因。
考生拿到這個題大多會選擇一個shopping center,leisure
center或者park這種比較適合各個年齡階層的人去的地方作為topic,下面是某位考生的作答:
In my opinion, people in my town like to go to the central park for two
reasons:
To begin with, they can do some exercise there. A lot of people will go to the
park to do some sports to keep healthy. Sometimes the whole family will get
together in the park to do exercise.
In addition,people could enjoy the beautiful views in the park and they feel
relaxed. They can get close to nature and release pressure from work or study.
So that’s why people in my town will go to the park.
我們來分析這個段子,開門見山給出topic—park, 用兩個理由支撐—do exercise and enjoy views,但整個答案欠缺的就是細節(jié)充實的問題。比如do exercise后面,考生可以直接列出具體細節(jié):
People like to play Tai Chi or go jogging in the morning,and the whole family
may get together to go for a walk after dinner or play badminton in the park.
直接給出這種細節(jié)描述exercise讓段子更生動,而不是一直重復(fù)people do exercise or do sports.
同樣的,第二層關(guān)于enjoy beautiful views后面也可以增加一些具體的景物描寫,trees, flowers, lake, bridge, fountain等。
下面給出一個對比的范例:
Well, a gathering place in my town is the central park.
One reason is that the park provides people a place to do some exercise. For
example, old people would play Tai Chi in the early morning, students may go
jogging around the park, and the whole family could go for a stroll after
dinner. By doing some sports, they can keep healthy and energetic.
Plus, people have the chance to get close to nature and escape from the rest of
the city like the concrete buildings, loads of schoolwork and huge pressure
from work. I mean, they could feel the fresh air blowing their face, the smell
of the flowers in the park.
So that’s why citizens like to go to the park.
這樣整個口語回答會顯得更充實,更容易拿到高分。既然充實段落很重要,下面我們來介紹幾種常用方法補充細節(jié)。
拿自己,身邊的人直接舉例子
例題:Task 2
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Students benefit more from classes with a large number of students than they do
from smaller classes. Use specific examples and details to support your
opinion.
這個題,其實就是小班好還是大班好的問題。選擇沒有對錯,只要能充分證明自己的選擇即可。
學(xué)生的回答提綱是: smaller class is better
1)Get more personal attention from professor
2)Concentrate better
對于第一個reason,我們可以直接舉一個身邊的例子加以說明。
比如:taking myself as an example, last summer, I took
park in a painting training class and there were only five students in the
class, so I got more time to interact with the teacher about my weakness in
painting.
很多學(xué)生質(zhì)疑說這樣的例子有說服力嗎。但事實上獨立題本來就是側(cè)重考生的familiar things,所以推薦用身邊的小例子作為支撐。
舉反例,正的不行就說反的
同樣上面這個例題的第二個理由,是學(xué)生常常會用到的一個萬能理由,但很多學(xué)生都不知道怎么把它加以擴展。
說:Students can concentrate better in smaller class
because it’s more quiet.
后面的思路就枯竭了,這個時候就可以用舉反例的細節(jié)擴展方法:however, in bigger
classes, there are so many people that they may easily talk, laugh, joke around
or gossip, which makes noise in the class to distract others.
給出具體的數(shù)據(jù)
這一個方面一般在我們用到時間和錢這兩個萬能理由的時候會用到。
例:Describe the most efficient type of transportation in
your country. Use details and examples to explain your response.
Topic: airplane
Reason 1: fast,save time
Reason 2: no traffic congestion
對于第一個reason, 我們可以直接給出數(shù)據(jù)和對比:
For example,it only takes me 2 hours to fly from one city to another, however,
when Ichoose to take train, it may cost me more than 20 hours.充分說明taking airplane is more efficient.
例2:You prefer to watch movie in
the movie theater or at home.
Topic: at home
Reason 1: save money
Reason 2: have more options when choosing movies
對于第一個理由,我們可以用倍數(shù)形式來顯示在家看電影多省錢:watching movies in the
movie theater costs 2 times more than watching same movies at home.
例3:這座建筑很高。
The building is very tall.
擴展細節(jié):
The building is as tall as 468 meters, ranking first in Asia and third in the
world. There are 68 spheres in the building and the three biggest ones are
observatories, where tourists can have a birds-eye view of the whole city. It
has been the land mark of the city since it was completed.
四、抽象的名詞給出小的并列例子加以具體化
Example 1.那里有很多食物。
There is a lot of traditional Chinese food.
There is a lot of traditional Chinese food like Fried rice with egg, Gong pao
Chicken, Ma Po Tofu, Dumplings, Pecking Duck and so on.
Example 2. 那里風(fēng)景優(yōu)美。
It has beautiful scenery there.
It has beautiful scenery there. I can smell the grass and flowers,hear the
cries of the birds, and feel the bracing breeze on my face.
Example 3我可以了解一些外國的好玩的事情
I would be able to know about interesting stuff in the foreign countries.
I would be able to know about interesting stuff including their customs,
cultures, and histories.
下面我們再結(jié)合一些學(xué)生的回答,綜合運用以上幾個方法示范,怎么用細節(jié)擴展口語段落。
例1. describe a person you admire the most. Give
specific details and examples.
學(xué)生回答:Well, the person I admire the most is my English
teacher Lee, who was teaching me at junior high school. Here is some reasons
I’d like to share with you.
For starters, my English teacher Lee is really responsible, he paid a lot of
attention on our school work and paper and help us improve.
Plus, he has a sense of humor. He always tell us some stories to make us laugh,
so we feel relaxed in his class. All the students like his class.
So, that is why I admire my English teacher most! Thank you.
分析:對于人物的描述,核心在人物的性格(quality,characteristics, features)的一個描寫,該生描述老師responsible 和 humorous,但是都不充分,我們需要給出具體的表現(xiàn)和例子。
Responsible—for example, he would use his spare time to give us lots of
detailed comments on our paper in order to make us improve.
Humorous—he may tell us some funny jokes or stories or even imitate the
behaviors of Mr.Bean in the class, thus, we all feel relaxing in the class and
can study much better.
例2.Is it beneficial for students to have computers? Use
details and examples in your response.
學(xué)生回答:
As far as I am concerned,I think it is good for students to have computers.
The most important reason is that they can improve their study efficiency. They
can use computer to search for some useful information to study better.
Another reason is that they can entertain themselves by using computer.
Students have huge pressure in study, when they go back home, they could use
the computer to release pressure.
分析:對于提高學(xué)習(xí)效率和娛樂放松,是我們常用的兩個理由,但是我們可以用細節(jié)把這些理由說得更清楚。
Search for some useful information using the computer à For example, when they
write the paper or do research, they can find some materials or resources
online like the data, the examples, the statistical tests and soon.
Entertain themselves and release pressure à for instance,they could watch some
movies, listen to music or play games to escape from the loads of problems in
study.
例3.Describe a subject which is difficult but also
important. Use details and examples in your response.
學(xué)生回答:well, the subject which is difficult but important
is Mathematics.
To begin with, it is difficult. I am poor in math; I think I have to spend a
lot of time doing the math problems.
However,math is also very important. If I can’t study math well, I will also
fail in some other science class like the physics.
分析:這個回答過于簡略,沒有結(jié)合這個學(xué)科談具體的細節(jié)。比如在強調(diào)數(shù)學(xué)很難,可以給出很多細節(jié)原因:it
needs strong logical ability, I have to recite lots of formulas and theories;
it’s too abstract, hard to understand.
例4. Describe an interesting book you have ever read.
Give specific reasons and details in your response.
學(xué)生回答:In my opinion,one interesting I have read is a
cooking book, which is sent from my friend jerry before I went abroad to study.
To begin with, I can learn how to cook using this book. It teaches me to do
some traditional Chinese food and also even some simple foreign food. If I can
cook food, I can take care of myself and even invite some classmates and
friends to enjoy food cooked by me.
In addition, I could also learn some culture from other countries by knowing
their food.
分析:對于這本書的描寫還是不夠,重點放在功能上,但是也不能忽略對于這個物體本身的描述。
比如在描寫這本書能teach me cook.最好可以講講里面的內(nèi)容和特色: it shows me the specific steps while cooking the food, even adds a
lot of vivid pictures, which makes it easier to follow while doing it by
myself.
此外第二點也是一樣,只是提到learn some foreign culture about the
food.
干脆后面再給一個例子,for instance, When I make the sushi, a type
of Japanese food, I learn that people in Japan like to eat some raw food, which
is considered to be more nutritious.
以上這些方法,童鞋們都可以牢記在心,然后用近幾年的口語獨立1,2題,加以練習(xí)。讓自己的口語回答更加充實,得高分。
