托福口语提分重在细节 这3个替换用词让表达更有层次

托福口语替换用词细节:转折不用But用Though

我们在练习托福口语的时候,遇到转折,我们习惯性的选择but,难免有些千篇一律,给大家点建议,当你想表达转折语气的时候不妨忍一下,在句子后面加个though,你要表达的立马瞬间就不一样了!

举个例子:

Our team lost. It was a good game, though.

Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bitdifferent, though.

这种用法是我们考试时候用的比较少,却非常地道的一种用法。是不是比通篇的but!but!but!要好很多呢?假如能运用在托福口语考试中,这绝对是一个加分项!

托福口语替换用词细节:用Tend to代替Most of

当你想说most of…的时候,不妨改口成tend to,这样一来,是不是会显示你的词汇量比较多呢?

举个例子:

Most Chinese people cook at home instead of dining out. 就可以说成Chinese people tend to cook at home instead of dining out.

Tend to能代替被大家overuse的most of…/themajority of…效果绝对是杠杠的!

托福口语替换用词细节:减少Very使用次数

在托福口语答案里面,要有意识的尽可能抛弃very,一种方法是用pretty替代,另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。

举个例子:

That performance was pretty impressive.

I’m pretty sure about that.

还有instead of saying “very angry”, you can use the word “furious”。

同理,如果我们想表达a little + adj.,也可以找到相应的更传神的形容词,例如:tipsy = a little drunk,考生们在用词上尽量准确,减少对very和little的使用次数!

真题讲解:如何在托福口语中巧用动词词组

托福官方指南就托福口语给广大考生提了这么一点建议:Increase vocabulary and learn to use idiomatic speech appropriately. 扩大词汇量并学着用含有大量习惯用法的语料。美国人很喜欢在不同场合使用动词词组(phrasal verbs)比如在跟朋友说再见的时候可以加一句Hit me up whenever you are free. 这里的hit me up就是一个动词词组表示没事多联系我哦,这样的表达不仅简单明了而且可以使语言更加生动。在备考托福口语单项的过程中,如果大家积累一些动词词组并能用在口语的回答当中应用的话不仅可以给考试加分,在以后的留学生活中也大有裨益。在TPO口语文本里面就出现了一些动词词组比如:luck out(走运), put it off(推迟), bump into(偶遇)等。接下来笔者就对一些常用的跟out 和off搭配的动词词组做一下整理并以独立题目为例展示如何应用。

OUT: 表示向外

drop out; 跟quit同义即为退出;

题目:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: A person should study in the university to be successful.

如果我们不同意的话可以加一句:There are lots of successful business men who drop out of university, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg.

sort it out/figure it out/ work it out: 都是解决问题的意思。

如果是加入something的话需放在词组后面如:

在第五题中可以使用这句话:He has two possible solutions to sort out the scheduling problem.

OFF:表示开始或者结束:

比如表示开始的:take off; The plane is about to take off. 飞机马上就要起飞了。

set off: I am setting off tomorrow on a business trip to America. 明天我去美国商务旅行。

kick off: The meeting kicks off at four o'clock sharp. 会议四点准时开始。

表示结束的有:

switch off:stop giving your attention to someone or something译为停止对一件事件的关注;

题目:

Some students prefer to study for only one long time during a week. Others students prefer to study for several short times during a week. Which way do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.

如果你选的是把学习的时间分为几段的话就可以说这么一句话:It's nice just to switch off, forget about study once in a while and do something fun like playing some sports, go fishing or even mountain climbing.

round off: 以X.X.X 为结束;

在Describe a memorable activity with your friend. 这道题中我们以这句话结束:

We rounded off the activity with happiness.

托福口语如何复述? 应遵循4大原则

托福口语考试共有六个题目,其中尤以后四个题目更加充分体现了融读、听、说在一起的特点。也就是说,在回答问题时,你不必慷慨激昂地陈述自己的观点,而是要利用听读材料中的具体信息回答所提出的与材料有关的问题。这其实就是在考察考生是否具备了对先前读到、听到的材料进行快速加工(归纳、总结、融合),然后再口头输出(变成自己的话)的口语复述能力。因而,为取得理想的成绩,在口试中,口语复述应遵循如下原则:

1.准确性原则(Accuracy)

准确性强调要准确挖掘与获取听、读材料的中心思想与细节内容,不能任凭主观臆想;同时还要注意用准确的语言输出。

2.完整性原则(Integrity)

完整性指的是:一要全面采集与应用听、读材料的信息,特别是不能遗漏任何重要的细节;二是所提供的答案语言要完整。

3.客观性原则(Objectivity)

客观性是指要客观陈述材料内容,不能妄加主观评论(除非有这样的要求)。

4.简洁性原则(Concision)

简洁性强调的是要采用简练的口语进行复述,不应过分堆砌辞藻。(当然了,几十秒钟的时间也不允许这样做。)语言要朴素,同时还要注意避免说出与主题无关的话语,更不能车轱辘话来回说。

不可不看的托福口语独立部分书籍、电影和音乐语料库

托福口语评分标准中出了natural、spontaneous、improvised等类似的字眼,译为自然即兴的,也就是说rater评分者更希望看到考生即兴的发挥而不是死板机械的背诵;但是如果考生平时不积累一些相关语料库想必也不会达到信手拈来的地步,为此笔者给大家带来一系列托福独立口语部分中的常见话题语料库,希望大家在背诵的基础上把题目回答的更自然。

很多托友在遇到跟book、movie、music相关的独立口语题目的时候除了会说可以陶冶情操之外再不会用其他的理由了,而可悲的是陶冶情操这个词在英文中很难找到对应的翻译;这样一来考生就被死死的卡在了这中题目上。其实如果我们仔细分析一下托福一二题的题目要求的话不难发现两个词examples and details,而如果合理的利用恰当的例子和细节此类题目迎刃而解。笔者看来,跟book、movie、music相关的题目中可以用放松身心、增加学习效率、让自己的生活变得更加充实等等来做example;并用书的名字、作者,音乐的种类、演唱者,电影的名字、剧情、演员的名字等来做details,这不仅让我们的答案变得更加真实更会使回答变得生动有趣。接下来我就以托福真题为例给大家提供关于以上话题的语料库包括必备段落、短语和词汇。

请看以下三道题目:

Describe a book that you believe is the most useful to you. Please explain the reason and include specific examples and details in your explanation.

Some people believe that the high school should teach music and art as other basic science. Some people think that providing music and art education for high school students is not necessary. What is your opinion and why?

Which is your favorite type of movie: action, drama, or others? Please include specific details and examples in your explanation.

不难发现以上三个题目中以不同形式出现了book、music、movie,如果大家对以下的语料库熟读并达到背诵的地步,以上类似题目绝不是问题。语料库如下:

关于music的类型Type/genre: rock & roll, R&B, reggae, country, Jazz, electronic, folklore(民谣), classical music;

伟大音乐家的名字Great Musicians:Beethoven, Bach, Mozart

流行音乐人Pop singers: Eminem, Beyonce, Jay Z. Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Rihana.

电影的类型Types of movies:thriller(惊悚片), suspense(悬疑片), comedy, action, documentary, science fiction, romance(爱情片), Animation(动画片), horror (恐怖片)

有名的电影导演Director(后面附有该导演的著名电影名字):

Peter Jackson: Return of the King

Steven Speilberg: Jurassic Park (侏罗纪公园)

James Cameron: Avatar(阿凡达), Titanic

Christopher Nolan: the Batman, the Dark Night;

著名演员Actors and actresses: Jackie Chen, Bruce Lee, Brad Pitt, Angelina Julie, Leonardo DiCaprio

就电影、音乐和书籍的作用和效果而言,笔者总结了一下几个共同特点;所以当考生看到任何跟电影、音乐和书籍有关的题目时都可以巧妙的应用以下理由。

缓解压力: ease/release + my pressure/stress/tension/depression from both my life and study;

让生活和学习变得更有效率、充实:improve /enhance/ increase + learning/study efficiency/productivity of the day;

精神焕发:refresh myself, revitalize/revive my mood;

激起情感和想象力:bring about different kinds of emotions; stir/stimulate my imagination; (注解:听音乐、看悬疑电影的时候)

句子:

小说、电影的线索很迷人:

The storyline/plot is very attractive/engaging/intriguing;

看电影、读小说的时候身临其境忘乎所以:

When I read this masterpiece/watch this movie, I find time irrelevant and I totally forget about the time. I tune everything out around me and am so attracted in the storyline and I feel tied up to the character in the novel/movie.

没有什么可以阻止我看完这部小说或电影:

I feel like the characters in the novel/movie connect to me so much that nothing could hold me back from reading/watching it until I finish the novel/movie.
