托福口语TIPS

　　Useful tips: (suitable for all questions)

　　Make it NATURAL, pauses, such as “well”, “um”, and “you know”, are advisable, but don’t do it too much.

　　CORRECT your mistakes as soon as you find out, for example, “... I really like standing in, I mean, ON the mountain,”(I know it’s a bad example. What I’m trying to clarify is that it is OK to make mistakes,but you gotta correct it once you made it.) so the examiner would not count down your score.

　　There is NO NEED to use freaking words, like “exonerate”, which means absolve, and “flamboyant”, which means showy. But those words are good to use in your essay.

　　“The FIRST way, the LAST way, the NEVER FAILING way to develop self-confidence in speaking is--TO SPEAK.” --Dale Carnegie

　　Independent speaking (Question 1 & 2) In this section, you are asked to present your own opinion and provide examples to support your ideas.

　　Useful tips:

　　Your answer should be as SPECIFIC as possible. You need to stick to a point UNTIL you finish it, have done with it, and need never return to it again.

　　The key to score high is to make each point WELL-DEVELOPED, and that DOES NOT mean you need to make as much points as you can,two would be great.

　　Truth and REASONABLE LIES are totally acceptable.

　　DO NOT say “I have three(or whatever) reasons to support my idea”,or some thing like that after you state your opinion. There is no guarantee that you are able to finish your answer within 45 seconds.Instead, you can say “I have a couple of reasons to say.”

　　Question 1 Free-choice Independent Task

　　这道题完全照搬TSE的Recommending places题型,扩展到People, Activities(Events)和Objects 准备15秒,说45秒

　　虽然是第一题,但确不是最简单的 理由:

　　(a)回答第一题比较紧张,因为刚进入口语,还没有进入状态,所以很容易因为紧张,就闷了

　　(b)第一题的问题几乎没有什么提示,这里所谓的提示,指答案的提示 不像第2题,A or B是有提示的,回答A,B,甚至A+B都可以 所以第一题还可能卡在理由上,例子上

三、新托福口语4个小tips

　　托福口语在英语考试中是让中国考生望而生畏的一个部分。原因大部分是以下两点，第一，中国学生缺乏英文的语言环境。第二，心理因素。因为不敢说，不想说。很多托福考生考完托福都反映托福口语时间短，考场紧张，由此总结出了在答托福口语题目时的特点以及4点说明：

　　口语的特点是，难得高分，也不容易的很低的分数。大约在15~23分都是比较容易得到的。一个大原则：1、2题要跟独立写作一起准备，3~6题看你听力水平，1、2题是你练习3~6题的基础。四个说明：1、要理解模版而不要依赖模版，模版是让你明白先说什么后说什么的，不是让你去凑时间的。模版要简单，模版不可模仿新东方的。模版自己去总结，只有自己知道哪个适合自己，在练习中去总结。2、语音问题，这个你自己可以去说一段然后录下来，让你的老师听听能不能听懂，如果能听懂就OK了。不用针对去练习语音，不好提高。平时多跟读会有帮助。3、口语部分依托听力，听力必须练好。4、语速问题，语速要适当，千万不要太快。声音要大。
