托福口语备考中如何解决口音问题?这5个方法规范你的发音
托福口语语音语调调整5大实用技巧讲解
1. 听录音,做标记
(录音材料推荐大家使用官方真题Official中的task5)
第一遍 感受录音的语音、语调。不要读出声音来,只要静静地听、仔细地感受就可以了。
第二遍 标记单词的重音(word stress),把耳朵听到的每个单词的重音标在录音材料原文上。
第三遍 标记所有单词与单词之间的连读。
第四遍 标记句子的升调、降调,要体会不同的句型所使用的语调的变化。
第五遍 标记句中的弱化,某一个音读得比较轻,甚至都感觉不到,这个音就是被弱化了。
2. 多模仿,心要细
模仿大致可以分为两个阶段:
句子的模仿。先一句话一句话模仿,把每一个句子的语音语调模仿到位,关注到每个细节。
段落的模仿。把单个句子模仿好之后,就可以把一段话连起来了,模仿时要特别注意句子与句子之间的衔接。
3. 勤朗读,练记忆
从发音原理来讲,英语和汉语的音节组合方式大不相同,发音方式也有很大区别。中国人的发音器官实际上并不熟悉或是不适应英语发音方式,大量的朗读练习实际上是在训练发音部位,让发音器官的肌肉适应英语的发音体系。光是大量朗读是不够的,还需要练习记忆,在朗读的时候脑袋里要在播放听过的录音材料。
经过前两步之后,录音材料已经深深印在学习者的脑海里了,朗读时就可以跟着脑海里浮现的声音一起进行了。不需要再听录音材料,也不要把录音上的声音彻底扔到脑后,按自己原来习惯的方式进行朗读。
如果觉得自己的朗读和录音的确有差距,没有读出录音上的那种味道,就要返回去再听听录音材料,找其中的原因,做对比研究,看哪些地方不太像,再按第一步的方法标记一次。
5. 再模仿,到满意
返回去听录音材料找到差距后,就要努力再进行模仿,这样循环往复一直到满意为止。

现在来公布正确答案,sample 2是满分回答,不知道大家有没有回答正确呢?
01 Delivery
虽然有一些口音,但是整体清晰流畅,连贯性好,发音不错,很容易让人听懂speaker表达的内容。
02 Language use
词汇使用恰当,语法能够准确表达观点,句子结构完整并且具有一定的多样性。
03 Topic development
答案结构完整,考生能够恰当地回答了问题,并且有一定的细节来支撑自己的观点。
以上三点均能满足,所以sample 2为满分回答。
那么大家可以猜测一下sample response1是多少分呢?
Sample 1在实际考试中拿到了3分,在讲解为什么这个回答是三分之前,我们还是先来学习一下ets 给出的3分评分标准的具体内容, 判断一下sample 1是否满足我们3分评分细则。
回答概述
回答能够恰当地完成题目,但是缺乏充分的细节展开。回答大体上清晰明了、逻辑连贯,但是在表达论点上有一些明显的失误。这一分数的回答至少包括右边所列的两个特点:
语言表达
回答总体清晰流畅,但是发音、语调或语速上存在一些小错误,听者需要时不时地努力去听才能理解。(尽管并没有严重地影响回答的清晰度)
语言运用
回答显示考生基本能够有效自主地使用语法和词汇,并连贯地表达相关论点。回答存在一些不准确的用词或错误的语法结构,并且句式多样性也很有限。这或许影响总体的流利性,但是并不会严重地影响信息的表达。
话题发展
回答总体上持续连贯,并表达了相关论点和信息。但是论点展开受限,通常缺乏对论点的充分展开和具体的细节,论点之间的关系有时不清楚。
Sample 1
01 Delivery
有一些发音上的小错误,回答停顿处稍多,但基本不影响整体理解
02 Language use
有一定的语法错误,词汇和句式稍受限,但基本不影响理解
03 Topic development
答案结构较为完整,回答了问题,并给出了一定的理由,但是缺乏细节支撑
由此可见sample response 1是满足3分评分标准的。虽然不是满分也有一定的缺陷,但也是一个不错的成绩,因为如果我们在speaking section中的6道题都能拿到3分,最后的口语总分也有23分。
