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。
第一题的出题范围分为四个方面：
1.地点类(place)
ex: Describe your favorite placein the city and explain why you like thisplace.
(2006/1/6) (2006/7/15)
2.事情或活动类(event or activity)
ex: Describe the most importantdecision you have made in your life.
(2005/12/2)
3.人物类(person)
ex: Describe yourfavorite teacher and explain how this teacher influenced you.
4.物体类(objects)
ex: Describe thebest/worst invention in the 20th century and explain how it affects your life.
1、要言之有物，不要空喊口号，客观表达！
2、要扣题评述，表达主观意见（正面）。
3、要以面带点，不可纵向深入，因为：
（1）铺开表达可以灵活搭配事先背诵的小点，不被具体题目限定。
（2）可以在句式结构上套用模板，沉着应对，并给人逻辑清晰的印象。
（3）可避免纵向层面语汇短缺所引起的错误表达。
（4）可避免不经意间走题。
Your answer can go like this:
“Personally, I would have to say that, um, my favorite ... is ... . And there
are a couple of reasons to name. The most important thing is that, you
know, ... . What’s more, ... . So that’s why ... .”
Question 2 Paired-choice Independent Task
Q2相对于Q1来说，好回答的多。Q2的问题是：A or B, why?或者do or not do? 再或者
A,B,C...which one prefer?
这道题完全照搬TWE题型。准备15秒，说45秒。
1、同样建议以面代点，不要纵向深入。
2、四种Reasoning:
(1) Core Node Reasoning
(2) "Devouring the Opposition" Reasoning
(3) Counter-example Illustration Reasoning
(4) Blocking (Declining to give opinion)
所以对于回答Q2，充分利用题干的提示，迅速作出选择，其实一但做了选择，问题就又回到Q1的解答方法了。
下面看几个真题：
(1) 电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用，选择其中之一并解释原因
这是A or B
(2)Do you think the high school should teach music andart as other basic science?
这是do or not do
(3)媒体（tv,internet….）和人（朋友，家长，同学）从哪方面你能学到更多的东西?
这是A,B,C...which one prefer?
回答技巧：
(1) 迅速选择，不要犹豫，这个题目回答没有对错，能自圆其说就好。
(2)一旦选择，回答得思路可以回到Q1,句型，结构可以用一样的。
(3) 当缺少理由时，可以用正面，反面回答得方法，可以充实理由库
ex:
Do you think the high school should teach music andart as other basic science?
态度：应该
理由1：有助于培养学生的想象力
理由2：（如果想出来正面理由）如果不上music and art的坏处：学生缺少想象力
这样一来，把一个理由分两个用
(4) 建议用作文的题库来练习, 选上述3种问法的题目来练，既能复习作文，也能练习口语。把185里面的题目挑出来反复练习就可以了。
(5) Q1和Q2不是没有关系的，Q1准备的内容很多时候能用在Q2的题目上，所以多多练习，这样可以缩小准备的内容，争取把这些内容弄得滚瓜烂熟。
TASK 2万金油式的回答
It depends on different stages.
It depends on one’s abilities.
It depends on one’s personality.
It depends on the nature of the subject.
This is quite a complex question.
It depends on…….
If you……. For example……, you’d better……in order to…….
On the other hand, if……, for example……, you’d better…… in order to…….
As far as I’m concerned,……（观点）. Firstly, …….
Also,…….

So I’d rather choose…….
Ex: Some students study for classes individually. Others study in groups. Which method of studying do you think is better for students and why.
Your answer can go like this:
“Well, in my opinion, I would definitely agree with the point that, um, ... .
The first reason that I wanna say is that ... . More importantly, ... . So,
uh, that’s why I choose ... for the two reasons listed above.”
“Well, in my opinion, I would definitely agree with the point that, um, ... .
The first reason that I wanna say is that ... . More importantly, ... . So,
uh, that’s why I choose ... for the two reasons listed above.”
第一、二题Self-Assessment Checklist：
1. I read the question carefully.
2. I used careful planning to outline my response.
3. I began with a topic statement.
4. I used strong supporting ideas.
5. I used transitions to connect the supporting ideas.
Integrated speaking (Question 3, 4, 5 & 6)
In this part, you are asked to paraphrase the man/woman’s attitude
first, and then list the reasons s/he gives. You are NOT asked to present
your opinion towards this problem.
Question 3 Dialogue-based R-L-S Integrated Task
这道题通常是关于university policies, rules or procedures; university plans; campus facilities or quality of life on campus的一些新的变化，对话中的一个人支持或者反对这个变化，并且给出理由，题目的要求就是复述其中一人的观点并且列举出这个人的理由（注意：不能说自己的观点！）。问题类似于“State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that
opinion”。读40-45秒（75-100 words），听60-80秒，准备30秒，说60秒。
1、对话题型重要原则：只听一个人！
2、基本上对话结构是Q&A，总是针对A来设计题目。
3、概括记录，以最佳复原效果为准。
（1）可用符号甚至中文，但确保不会换用“关键词”。
（2）省纸，正反四折，一张搞定。
（3）关键句阅读时可预见，内容预先记下，态度非正即反，不要靠当时具体去听，只标+, -号。
（4）Supporting points可标上数码，至少可以心理安慰。
（5）细节列举可放过，特别不要在细节列举遇到生词时懊恼抓狂。
其实这个题目比较好回答，基本上reading passage就可以判断出很多内容，如到底是notice,message, proposal,迅速找到关键词，内容究竟讲什么。听得时候重点听态度和支持或者反对的理由。
听的过程中要注意标上序号。
首先做出两个区域，MAN，WOMAN。
然后再确定主要说话人后，迅速记下实词：名词和动词。个别情况下为形容词。
最后利用另一个附和者进行附和的时间，稍微调整并补充笔记，使用模板。
Useful tips:
?In the reading part, DO NOT waste your time on taking notes, it is
unnecessary. Just figure out what the announcement is mainly
talking about, you do not need to say anything about it after all.
?When listening, just write down THREE major points--attitude, reason
1 & reason 2. You can use “+” and “-” to represent positive attitude
and negative attitude.
?Make sure that you get ALL the reasons that the man/woman gives.
Any thing missed will lower your score.
?DO NOT spend too much time explaining why the school has pull out
the policy, simple words would be fine.
?DO NOT spend too much time retelling the
Your answer could go like this:
“The school has implemented a new policy that ... due to ... . And the
man/woman holds a positive/negative view towards the announcement.
The first reason s/he gives is that ... . And the second one is based on the
fact that ... .”
From the reading material, we know that (the college) is going to ...
Obviously, the man/woman in the conversation thinks that this is a great/bad idea, due to the following reasons..
One reason is that……. Another is,…….
(万一有时间)So that's all the reasons s/he has to form that opinion. (尽量记，听为主)
In the readingmaterial,
There is a/anannouncement/message/notice/proposal about ****(填入记下的关键词) The university/college is going to****(稍稍展开下)
In the listeningmaterial,
Two students discussabout the***(填入关键词)
The man/woman is against/supporting the***
He or she feels unhappy/less satisfied about***
thinks the*** is unfair/inconvenient/unaffordable
for the following reasons:
First, he thinks/says****
Also, he points out that****
The man/woman’s opinion about STH is that…….

1.Firstly, the man/woman states that…….
2.And then he/she states that…….)
……………(提出建议型：听建议的利弊。
1.Firstly, the man/woman talks about the positive aspect of this issue. He/she states that…….
2.On the other hand, the man/man also talks about the negative aspect of this question. He/she points out that…….
Question 4 Lecture-based R-L-S Integrated Task
读和听一段学术方面（life science, social science, physical science, and the humanities）的文章，the reading passage一般是概括和抽象的学术语言，the lecture给出具体的例子、反例或者应用。题目一般是要求“apply the more general information you have learned in the reading to the examples discussed in the lecture”。读40-45秒（75-100 words），听60-80秒，准备30秒，说60秒。
1、Lecture题型其实只要求在阅读预见内容的前提下复述讲话框架。
2、记录内容取舍很有弹性，下面两者取其一：
（1）对数字敏感的记录数字及准确的相关含义，用以占据篇幅，避免连贯性动作描述。
（2）记录连贯性动作描述，避免具体数字及准确的相关含义的表述。
此题型细分为两种题型：
1、二元正负类：阅读材料中的关键句之一有两个对称并列的概念性词语（切记：通常是动词！）
（1）在阅读材料中找到两个关键词，听力材料必然围绕这两个关键词展开。
（2）在听力中迅速判断两大关键词的正负性质。
（3）根据两大关键词的正负性展开相关内容。
2、描述举例类：阅读材料中的关键句之一对文章题目进行描述，如果不是定义句，此关键句经常在定义句附近。
（1）阅读时记下描述性的关键句，如果临近定义句，同时记下定义句。
（2）听到并记下举例内容，特别是与关键句匹配的信息。
（3）根据具体例子反推验证关键句，如阅读时未确定，则在听力中迅速判断，从两句中选中一句。
（4）整合阅读与听力笔记，套用句型，准备答题。
reading passage: 主要记下抽象的词，和具体的定义；原理，和具体原理的内容等
listening passage: 主要记所举的example, study, or reasearch，注意这些和抽象的定义和原理的挂钩。
1. 先听听力材料的前两句话，老师会给出所听内容的概括性介绍。再结合阅读给出的概念。
2. 再听举例说明。其方法通常是举出扩展事例，举反例或是短文中概念的实际应用。
3. TIPS：
A. 带着一个“概念是什么，现象是什么”的问题用35秒看完短文，然后用10S的时间，用2句话总结出短文所介绍的概念或现象（尽量用短文中的词汇）
B. 听段子的时候，带着“老师用什么例子来进行说明”这个问题去听。要听结构（1+2），还要听例子中涉及到的3个基本要素（实验对象，实验过程，实验结果）。其中，实验过程要详细。
C. 多记实词（N+V）以及数字与时间。
4. PATTERNS：
a) TOPIC SENTENCE: The professor talks about the theory that…….
b) SUPPORTING DETAILS: He/she gives one/two examples to illustrate/explain such a point.(接下来陈述实验对象，实验过程，实验结果)。
Useful tips:
?Find the KEY words as soon as possible and then write them down.
This is to make sure that you will know what the professor is gonna
talk about.
?Pay attention to the JARGONS in order to get familiar with the words
that you don’t know before.
?Do not panic if you don’t know anything about the subject, because
your opinion is NOT included.

Question 5 Practicum for L-S Integrated Task
In question 5, you are asked to paraphrase the man/woman’s problem
and then retell the solutions that the woman/man comes up with. And
for this time, you should make a choice between the two.
这道是Problem and Solution(P&S)题。一般是关于campus-related situation，两个人讨论a problem and two possible solutions. The problem一般是关于scheduling conflicts, unavoidable absences, unavailable resources, student elections, financial difficulties, and so forth. 题目要求是“briefly describe the problem that was discussed in the conversation and to state which of the two solutions you prefer, and finally to explain why you prefer that solution”，其中的reason可以是材料中提到的，也可以是自己的类似经历。听60-90秒，准备20秒，说60秒。
1、Problem往往不是单纯的，而是复杂矛盾的，分几个回合说完。
2、Solutions针对Problem不同层面提出，注意提炼中心句。关切性的话可以略去。
3、问题不用听！每次都一样！省下10-15秒整理笔记。
4、答题时不要忘记给出自己的Solutions，想不出来就选择一个S提出的方案或把S提出的各种办法按照轻重缓急排序，形式上不可缺少！
模版：

这两个理由比较容易套，背熟就好了
第5题很简单，背熟以上模版，考试的时候套就可以了。
Task 5 CAMPUS
1. 首先一个人会描写一个与校园生活有关的问题或冲突（主要是时间，安排）
2. 然后另一个人会对问题或矛盾提出2个解决方案。以及相关的原因及利弊。
3. 听力时要注意：对话中描述的问题/冲突是什么？如果解决问题（2个解决方案）？你觉得哪种方案好，为什么？
PROBLEM+2 SOLUTIONS+PREFERENCE+WHY
不需要太多细节。
4. 注意1+2和相关句型：
A. 提出问题（交作业，考试，还书，参加活动，打工，上课，听讲座等）
a) 单纯提出问题，比如说忘记带东西了，电脑坏了，找人借钱等。
b) 矛盾冲突（特别是时间上的冲突）：出现在对话的开始部分。不必理会一些打招呼的寒暄的话，重点放在听矛盾是什么，只要记下关键的名词或动词，及名词性短语即可。
B. 建议的句型：
YOU CAN， YOU SHOULD， YOU‘D RATHER， WHY NOT， WHO DON‘T YOU
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY
IS IT POSSIBLE。。。？
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGH ABOUT。。。？
ANOTHER THING YOU CAN DO IS。。。
YOU NEED TO。。。
IF I WERE YOU， I‘D RATHER。。。
5. PATTERN：
1). The man/woman has a problem/situation, which is that….+but/however(如果有冲突的话)
2). The man/ woman gives two suggestion. Suggestion one is……… suggestion two is…….
3). If I were the man/woman, I would follow the first/second suggestion.
或者是In my opinion/as far as I’m concerned, the best thing for the man/woman to do is….
4). Because I think …..
每一个省略为2句话。
Useful tips:
?The OPTIMAL time allotment is: 10 seconds for the problem, 17
seconds for each solution, and 10 seconds for your choice and why,
and about 6 seconds pausing throughout your answer.
?DO REMEMBER that you HAVE TO state your opinion in your answer.
BUT do not spend too much time on that.
?Make your answer as SIMPLE as it can be, you really don’t have
enough time to cover everything mentioned in the conversation.
?DO say “the man/woman offers her/him TWO(or THREE) solutions.”
This is to ensure that you get all the solutions even if you can’t finish
you answer in time, so the examiner will still give you a good score.
Your answer can go like this:
“In this conversation, the man/woman is having a hard time dealing
with the problem that … . And the woman/man offers him/ her two
possible solutions. One is … . The other is … . And if it were my choice, I
would choose the former/latter one, because ... .”
In the conversation, the man/woman has a problem with his/her schedule/report/essay /study(听得时候判断到底是哪方面的问题)
He or she couldn’t get/check out/afford ***(问题具体化)
He/she needs to***
So, the woman/man/professor/officer offers him/her two solutions/options
重要！
The first solution/option is(概括，不用具体化)
Another suggestion the professor/woman gives is(概括，不用具体化)
And from my point of view/As for me, the second choice is preferable for the following reasons/the best way to solve this problem is :
(自己的建议)First, the woman may confront the same problem in the future, it’s better for her to handle it now and gain some helpful experiences. Also, I have once faced the same situation as the woman does, and I ***(这么干的), it works well pretty well for me.
The woman/man is facing the problem that….. So the man/woman offers him/her two solutions. One is…….Another is…. Well, to me, I prefer the first/second one. because (理由,常直接来自听力).....，(如果有时间)，I was once faced with the similar trouble; I chose to(说支持的具体选择) and everything turned out to be all right.(记主要观点，要求发表自己观点)
Question 6 L-S Integrated Task
In question 6, the speaker usually gives two examples to explain a
theory or a phenomenon. So your main job is to find what the theory or
the phenomenon is, and jot down the examples that the professor
presents in the lecture.
这道题是Summary题。听一段学术方面（life science, social science, physical science, and
the humanities）的lecture，问题一般是“explain the main concept or issue of the lecture, using points and examples that were given in the lecture”。听60-90秒，准备20秒，说60秒。
1、捕捉每一层次中心句的能力非常重要。记录要简要清晰，便于复原。
2、文章结束，可以考问题整理笔记，问题本身具有纲要性，特别当听到数字时。
3、关键学术语汇的听辨和记录复述是答题的重要挑战。
这个题目非常讲究条理，基本上，先会总结下要讲的内容（也就是会中心句），然后分为几个层次讲，做笔记的时候要注意层次清楚。
In the lecture, theprofessor discusses/argues/demonstrates *** in several points/aspects
First, he says that
and he gives an example of
Second, he mentioned that
and he shows some data/researchs about
Finally, he discusses that
TASK 6 ACADEMIC
1．涉及的范围为：经济，社科，文教。难度只相当于科普。
2．对于听力材料，教授先讲一个话题（概念，现象，问题），然后从话题相关的两方面分别举例说
明（或者两个例子具体描述，解释）
3．概念（可以是学术名词）都会重读、慢读，并且会换一种方法重新阐述概念。
4．概念之后会举例说明，举例的标志是FOR EXAMPLE，FOR INSTANCE。概念大多是生活中熟
悉的事物。
5．例子讲完后会有转折词BUT，HOWEVER，NEVERTHELESS，STILL，YET等提出一个例子已
经结束，要开始讲述另一个例子。
6．问题永远是： Using examples and points from the talk to explain how the topic is explained?(复述教授的观点，例子)
7．按照答题顺序，带着问题听记
总的话题是什么？
两个侧面是什么？
如何分别举例的/例子是什么？
8． PATTERN：
1). Topic:
The professor talks about…..(重要原理或概念)
2). Point:
The first point he/she raises is……
For example…….
The second point he/she mentions is……
For example……
即：T+P|E+P|E
Useful tips:
?The OPTIMAL time allotment is: 15 seconds for the theory/
phenomenon, 20 seconds for each example, and about 5 seconds
pausing throughout you answer.
?Question 6, to a certain extent, is quite similar to question 4. However,
Q6 is even HARDER because you don’t have the chance to read
anything about the lecture. So, stay ALERT while you are listening.
?Take as many details as you can, it HASN’T to be written in English,
CHINESE is fine! Choose whatever the EASIEST way for you.
?You should catch the TRANSITIONAL WORDS, such as “what’s more”
and “moreover”, which indicate that the professor is gonna talk about
another point.
“In the lecture, the professor provides two examples to illustrate the phenomenon/theory that … . The first one is that … . Another example Is
that … . And that’s the two examples the speaker presented to explain
the theory/phenomenon.(Still, the conclusion is optional)”. (You can
make adjustments on this style according to different lectures)
In the lecture, the professor discusses/ demonstrates *** in several points/aspects First, he says that
and he gives an example of
Second, he mentions that
and he shows some data/researches about
Finally, he discusses that
The speaker discusses/demonstrates…..in several points/aspects.
First of all, he says that…… and he gives an example of……
Also, he mentions that…… and he shows some date/researches about….
In addition, he discusses that…. (尽可能记，主要观点+例子/理由details)

1. I noted the main points of the listening passage.
2. I read the question carefully.
3. I used careful planning to outline my response.
4. I began with an overall topic statement.
5. I used strong supporting ideas.

刚刚在上周末结束的托福考试中，听力成功霸占了热搜。 很多考生都反映听力太难了，本身想靠听力carry总分，结果先栽倒在听力上了。 对于打算考托福和备战托福的考生来说，听力轻松拿高分的日子已经一去不返。 托福听力改革 即将在8月份实施的托福新政里，听力的题目得到了精简。取消了一个lecture的部分，由原先的4段讲座（加试6段）变为3段（加试4段），每个部分的题目数量不变。 但是时间由原来的60分钟，遇到加试90分钟，下调至41分钟，遇到加试57分钟。原本1段讲座平均有10分钟的答题时间，时间却减少了整整将近20分钟。答题时间变得紧凑，每道题目分值增加，这就无形中增加了听力难度。 在最新版的TPO样题中，我们可以一瞥改革后的听力题型。正如改革的政策提到的，删减了一道讲座题，总题目数将至28道，平均托福听力每道做题时间由1.76分钟变为1.4分钟。 托福听力话题类型
托福听力部分包2个对话(conversation)和4段演讲(包括教室对话在内的lecture)。 每个对话涉及2个或2个以上的说话者，每个对话是2至3分钟，每个对话对应5道试题。对话都是大学校园中的非学术类场景，首个场景出现在学校办公室里。对话也许会牵涉学术内容又或是和课程要求有关。第二个场景介绍人有关学生服务的对话。 每段演讲对应6道试题。每个演讲是4至6分钟。讲座通常都是来源在老师的课堂授课。讲座也许是从教授的讲课内容，或者是学生的提问，还或者是师向学生提问并且请一位学生回答里摘录的。 托福听力题目类型 新托福听力里的大多数题目，不论是对话还是讲座，全部是用传统的四选一的选择题为主。根据《The Official Guide To The New TOEFL》即托福考试官方指南(OG)的介绍，新托福考试听力部分有八种题型，可分为以下三类： 1.内容主旨题 理解讲座或对话的主旨大意，或者对话目的。常见的提问方式有以下几种： What is the main idea of this lecture? What are the two speakers talking about? Why does the student go to see his professor? 2.判断题 是非判断题也是托福考试改革后出现的较为新颖的题型，一般是列出很多与录音材料中所提及的内容较为相似的句子，让考生辨別究竟哪些是录音材料中提到的。 以下例题是其常见的出题方式： The professor discusses how an animal becomes a fossil after its death. Indicate whether each sentence below is a step in the process. 3.细节题 听懂并记住讲座或对话中明晰的细节或事实，比如时间、数字、举例内容等。常见提问形式有: 1. What is X? 2. Which of the area does the picture illustrate?
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。 第一题的出题范围分为四个方面： 1.地点类(place) ex: Describe your favorite placein the city and explain why you like thisplace. (2006/1/6) (2006/7/15) 2.事情或活动类(event or activity) ex: Describe the most importantdecision you have made in your life. (2005/12/2) 3.人物类(person) ex: Describe yourfavorite teacher and explain how this teacher influenced you. 4.物体类(objects)

托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲 解 托福口语虽然话题广泛内容变化众多，但在答题过程中其实是存在一些可供考生使用的套路的。今天给大家带来了托福口语TASK1-6全部题型答题套路汇总讲解，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语全部题型答题套路汇总讲解 托福口语一二题无明显套路 首先，是答题思路，一般口语一二题就是缩小版的independent writing(可以在高分作文里找思路)，而三四五六题是通过听力提取信息。一二题大家可以用机经来练习，一是可以熟悉题目，二是可以练习把握时间。三四五六题，则有模板可寻：托福口语第三题套路介绍 先阅读一封信或是一个通告，一般是一个建议，对校园内的一项进行一个改变，这个“change”是阅读*中至关重要的，因为后面的对话主要是围绕这个进行的，至于*中给出的理由，并不是很重要，因为没有时间也没有必要说这个。之后听一男一女对话，主要是找主要说话人的态度，然后记下他或她的两个理由和
举例，不用全记，每点理由记一到两个原因或事例就好。之后组织语言：是change+态度+两点理由。 托福口语第四题套路介绍 先阅读一个科研类*，然后听一段lecture，之后对一个概念进行定义和举例解释。在这道题，阅读的部分需要抓住的要点比上一题要多，首先是题目，题目一般是所要解释的概念，所以要把题目记下来，然后在阅读段落里找对这个概念的定义，一般是含这个词的一句话，记下，之后听lecture时主要记下教授解释这个概念所用的例子，一般可能是一个故事或实验，这时就要记下主要轮廓和具体的对比或例子，之后组织语言，按：*讨论某事某物+定义+教授举例解释的方式回答。 托福口语第五题套路介绍 这道题不用阅读，直接是一男一女对话，主要是其中一个人遇到一个problem，要着重记下，然后是另一个提出两个解决方案，并且各给利弊。之后题目会让你在两个方案中选择一个。很多老师的建议都是选择第二个方案，因为据说这样更好回答，符合大家惯用的让步反驳式思路。答题时，思路为：叙述这个问题+两个解决方案+你分析后的选择。由于回答较长，需要注意用连词。 托福口语第六题套路介绍
选择agree or disagree, prefer or not 1.Q：“Public transportation should be encouraged instead of private cars.” Do you agree with this statement? Please give reasons for your answer. 2.Q:Do you agree or disagree that people should always tell the truth? 3.Q:Some people gather a lot of information before traveling. Others prefer to go straight to the place they plan to. Which do you think is better and why? 4.Q:Some people plan every detail of their vacation in advance. Others prefer to leave most details flexible or open to chance. Which do you think is better and why? 5.Q:Which do you prefer to communicate with your family and friends by letter and e-mail or by telephone? 6.Q:you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position. 7.Q:Some people think universities should spend money on academic programs. Other people disagree and think that universities should use their funds to provide more entertainment activities like building musical or camera center? Which of these two opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
六种新托福听力题型及其解题技巧 (一六种托福听力题型易考点及其技巧点睛: 所谓最大的技巧就是“反命题”,知己知彼,才能百战不殆。想要在听力部分取得高分,不仅是在刚开始接触IBT听力时,乃至当临考的冲刺阶段在做官方样题时,也一定要将ETS 的出题思路和考核要点贯彻始终。 1、主旨题 一个段子的主旨往往出现在文章引言和开头处,而重复的最多往往一定是主旨!在听课堂演讲等学术性题目时,一定要首先把握文章最核心的主旨,主旨考题选项中过于细节的往往是错误选项; 2、功能/目的题 该题型类似于主旨题,对于任何一个长段子,首先务必要把握的是文章的主旨和结构,只有主旨确定了,才有可能去理解细节,做推断。 3、细节题 主旨题和细节题主要是考察考生对于基本信息的理解能力(basic comprehension,除此之外ETS所要考察考生的另外两种能力分别是对于语用信息的理解(pragmatic understanding和整合信息、对全文结构把握的能力(connecting information。而基本信息的理解就占到50%的比重,可见主旨题和细节题的重要性。 对于细节题,大家不要走入误区,觉得所有的细节100%会考到,所以去关注每一个小的细节点,以至于舍本逐末,只见树木,不见森林。对于细节题,大家要把握两个原则:第一、ETS只会考察我们和主旨有关的重要细节。过于偏细节的实在没有听到,大可不必惋惜,影响后面的发挥;第二,牢牢把握住往往和考点向联系的重要信号词。比如说表示因果的accordingly, thus等词对应于细节题中常考察的因果题。而常见的和信号词相关的考点有逻辑时间顺序、举例、列举、相似或者对比、转折、强调、因果、总结、定义、建议、数字等。
2017年托福考试口语范文练习题及答案(1) .Which one of the following to invitation will you go to, a family dinner party or a friends party? If the following two things overlap with each other, which would you prefer: dinner together with your family or attend your friends’party on the weekend? 托福口语范文一: Personally, I would say I will definitely go to a family dinner. First off, having dinner with families can help me to connect more with my families. Parents are the very first teachers in our psychological development, and they, together with other family members shape our early behaviors, values and even habits. So, I should keep families company. Additionally, as an adult, I am so overwhelmed with my schoolwork, like, assignments, presentations, and group projects. Seldom do I have time to interact with my families, thus I will never let go any chance to get more connected with families since they are such a big part of our lives. 托福口语范文二: Sample answer I would prefer to go back home to spend time with my family in a dinner party. I was working in a strange city far away from home and rarely
新托福口语的六个Task 按题型可分为两类：1. 独立口语命题independent speaking task（类似于雅思口语第二部分的考察方式，给定问题单纯考speaking skill）；2.综合口语命题integrated speaking task（根据阅读和听力的内容回答问题，是一种新型考试形式，考察学生阅读听力和口语等综合能力）。按话题可以分为三类：1. 个人生活；2. 校园场景；3. 学术场景。Task 4既是综合题又是学术题，其应对策略必定从综合题和学术题的特点入手，本文就综合题这一角度出发，谈谈Task 4的备战方法之第一招——记笔记（note-taking）。 作为综合题，Task4要求考生先读一篇100字左右的短文，然后听一段60-90秒的学术讲座，通常情况下，阅读材料大致介绍某学科的一个基本概念或术语，而听力材料则是对这一概念的详细讲解和说明。考生的任务是用听力中的例子或细节来解释阅读中的概念。在这一环节中，考生只是担当一个reporter的角色，不允许给个人观点。评分的一个重要标准是考生是否能按要求准确并且无缺失地概括阅读和听力材料中的重点信息。可以看出，在此过程中，考生除了需要具备一定的口语复述能力之外，更重要的是要懂得一些note-taking的技巧。因为人的短时记忆是有限的，精确有序的信息再现依赖于完整而清晰的notes。这种口语考试模式再一次突显了新托福考试的宗旨，与雅思考试一样都是为了检测考生是否具备在海外留学和生存的能力。note-taking是今后留学生涯中必不可少的技能，必要的了解和操练不仅是备战新托福口语的利器，也为日后的继续学习做了准备。下面结合IBT TOEFL Task 4的特点谈谈如何有效的take notes. 第一步：阅读、列提纲 Task4开始时，有45秒钟的阅读时间，在这一过程中，应充分利用文章标题给的提示，快速确定Task4的Topic，并找出sub-points的数量和内容。举例说明如下： Verbal and Nonverbal Communication When we speak with other people face-to-face, the nonverbal signals we give—our facial expressions, hand gestures, body movements, and tone of voice—often communicate as mush as, or more than, the words we utter. When our nonverbal signals, which we often produce unconsciously, agree with our verbal message, the verbal message is enhanced and supported, made more convincing. But when they conflict with the verbal message, we maybe communicating an entirely different and more accurate message than what we intend. 对于这篇短文，我们通过survey标题可以确知其Topic，即verbal和nonverbal,带着这两个关键词去读文章主体部分，可以发现这样的一个特点（这也是多数Task4短文的一个共同特点），一句Topic sentence, 两句supporting ideas。运用速记方法，本篇outline可以列为： Nonverbal & verbal message in face-to-face talk
托福听力五大解题技巧 1、主旨题 一个段子的主旨往往出现在文章引言和开头处，而重复的最多往往一定是主旨!在听课堂演讲等学术性题目时，一定要首先把握文章最核心的主旨，主旨考题选项中过于细节的往往是错误选项; 2、功能/目的题 该题型类似于主旨题，对于任何一个长段子，首先务必要把握的是文章的主旨和结构，只有主旨确定了，才有可能去理解细节，做推断。 3、细节题 主旨题和细节题主要是考察考生对于基本信息的理解能力(basic comprehension)，除此之外ETS所要考察考生的另外两种能力分别是对于语用信息的理解(pragmatic understanding)和整合信息、对全文结构把握的能力(connecting information)。而基本信息的理解就占到50%的比重，可见主旨题和细节题的重要性。 对于细节题，大家不要走入误区，觉得所有的细节100%会考到，所以去关注每一个小的细节点，以至于舍本逐末，只见树木，不见森林。对于细节题，大家要把握两个原则：第一、ETS只会考察我们和主旨有关的重要细节。过于偏细节的实在没有听到，大可不必惋惜，影响后面的发挥;第二，牢牢把握住往往和考点向联系的重要信号词。比如说表示因果的accordingly, thus等词对应于细节题中常考察的因果题。而常见的和信号词相关的考点有逻辑时间顺序、举例、列举、相似或者对比、转折、强调、因果、总结、定义、建议、数字等。 4、态度/ 推断 对话中的态度题要注意通过语气、语调、重读来推测;而由于演讲中的内容相对学术和客观，所以演讲中的态度题要注意通过形容词和副词的褒贬色彩来确定说话者的主观意图。
托福口语每道题的答题方法 不管是托福口语试题的哪部分，都有其内在的出题规律和答题技巧，今天给大家带来托福口语每道题的答题方法，希望可以帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语每道题的答题方法 首先是第一题，preference 题或称之为“偏好题”，经过收集和研究，题型主要走人物题、地点题、事件题及物品题。由于不会出现雅思考试考官针对同一话题问两次到三次的情况，所以针对托福备考有个称之为“同一话题只需准备一个题材”的概念，也就是在备考前面对同一话题无需泛化去找另类话题，而是不断深化，思考可以囊括阐述其他人物、地点、事件或物品的通用理由。如果*开始表述，建议如同写作一样大体分为三段阐述，开题无需技巧，简单读题即可，把you 都改成me，比起I think……开头可以省去相对多的思维时间。内容一般找三个理由，为避免理由重复或累赘，建议就方便、经济、减压等常用理由进行练习，并结合不断问自己How 及Why 等问题来充实内容，完成example 的部分。最后用连词进行连接，这里有个技巧，就使用first, also, finally，因为三到六题综合题中这三个词常成为提示词出现，在前两题中使用可对其有一定敏感度。
再次是第二题，结合第一题，内容分布完全相同，并且这两题对时间把握尤其重要，要求考生进行“掐表”练习，对45s 有感性认识，当一定练习后，口语部分的考试不再是考内容的，而是考时间的，因此在考试过程中掐时间角度有很多技巧可言，比如：当阐述内容结束时时间为38s 或39s，则在最后可加句detail 或一句类似The person like me has no choice but to do sth.的长废话;当结束时时间为41s 或42s，则在最后可加一句短废话，如I find it’s cool. 最讨厌的是41s 说完这句短废话后变成42s，离perfect time 还是有3 秒钟，那么可以用一些装口吃或吞口水的考场技巧将时间掐到44s 或45s。(实践证明装口吃或吞口水不扣分)最后是三到六题的综合题部分。综合题由于会有听力和阅读，因此要求考生对信号词定位有所敏感，口语中涉及的技巧是即使不理解听力内容，结合简单的信号词如first, also, finally, but, yet, for the following reasons 等定位中心内容，遇到生疏单词、句子，记下读音，再完整地还给考官，一样得分。第三题听力内容中一男一女进行谈话，就他们对阅读内容的态度与否(支持还是反对)，不可以从语气上进行判断，要根据记录内容的回推去确认，以免犯错。 第四题是普遍认为最难的一题，但记好一个技巧：“阅读找概念，听力找例子”，由于此学术题是由同一个人出的，听力内

托福考试听力有几道题 托福听力考试由是两个部分组成的，每个托福听力部分是由一段对话和两个讲座组成，在每个部分的考试时间上每个部分需要听的录音大约是20分钟加上答题时间是10分钟，这样每个部分则需要30分钟的时间。如果遇到托福听力加试的话，听力加试中的一个部分也是由一段对话和两个讲座组成的，则也需要30分钟。所以托福听力在没有加试的情况下是60分钟，如果遇到托福听力加试，听力考试的时间延长至90分钟。 托福听力连录音+做题一起一共有60分钟时间，每部分听力题目播放时间各20分钟左右，剩余是答题时间各10分钟左右。其中托福听力section10分钟答题时间。一个section做题时间有没有限制呢? 如果有的话多少时间? 托福听力两个section答题十分钟，每道选择题不计时。在播放听力时不计时。一般会遇上听力加试，时间和前两个section一样。 每个section10分钟答题时间，也就是说十七道题十分钟作答完成。这个时间是卡死的。做不完就懵了。 听力10分钟答题，考生要注意把握好时间，在平时模拟练习的时候自己掐一下时间。否则上场会慌。如果大家没有注意时间，后来的题目都很容易答不完。 托福听力答题时，选择答案后，自己点确认，才会跳到下一个问题。读题的时间是够够的，通常都会剩余。 托福听力题目播放的时候屏幕上会显示总共的播放进程，让你知道自己听了多少，还要听多少，有点像播放器下面的长条条似的。屏幕上有时候还会显示新给的学术名词。每放完一组就会问题，准备好继续答了你可以趁机休息一下。这是网友的托福听力section问题的经验分享。 扩展阅读：托福听力5大出题规律 一、矛盾规律 从托福听力真题可以看出，对话板块一定是建立在矛盾上的。如果没有矛盾的存在，那么就不会有对话。具体一点，比如说：男生是校队的，每周上课时间要去比赛，但是又怕耽搁课程，所以就问女生怎么办。正因为又上课和比赛这对矛盾，所以才产生了对话.所以，在做对话题的时候，你要搞清楚矛盾是什么，这样对做题又很大的帮助。 二、性别规律 在托福听力题型中，女性永远是光明正确的，男性永远是窝囊倒霉的。男生总是生活在女生的细心关怀呵护下。所以，一旦在对话题中你遇到男女对话（其

四种常见的托福口语题型 还没有做过托福口语练习的同学也许对托福口语题型不是很了解，口语总共有四大考试类型，每一题相互独立各不相同。在这四道题当中，同学们经常看见以前的考生说托福口语第三题比较难，是不是如此呢？编辑这就为大家做一个详尽的分析。 托福口语题型有哪几种？ 第1题、Independent task 1是Free Choice题，要求考生就某一常规话题用英语做45秒钟的陈述。考生对于这道题的准备应主要集中在people、place、object、event （人、地、物、事）这几个大方面。在教学的过程中，让考生扎实的准备OG、蓝Delta、TPO、真经与口语特训等教材里所出现的题目，尽管当考试时，出现的情况不是很多，但是在复习过程中准备过的具体内容在考场上的作用却非常大。比如“Describe the place you live in”与“Which city do you travel to most”、“Who is the person you admire most”与“Whom would you choose to visit for one hour”就可以相互借用大部分内容。 第2题、Independent task 2是Paired Choice题，也就是要求考生在提供的两个选择中选择自己喜欢的一个，并用details和examples支持自己的观点。如“If you could choose to live in the city or live in the country areas, which lifestyle would you prefer and why”，在教学过程中，应教学生迅速确定自己的立场，其余的按照Free Choice 的准备就可以了，同时比Free Choice更好的表述是考生可以采用“抨击”另一种观点的方式来准备details。但是，本题在某些时候以“Do you agree or disagree”或者“compare and contrast”的形式出现，对于后者而言，在教学中，应告诉考生不必表明自己的观点，只要陈述出两种选择的可比之处并加以诠释就可以了。 第3题、托福口语第三题是一道综合任务题，要求考生在45秒之内读完一则notice 或者announcement，然后听一段对话或者monologue（独白），在听力材料中，说话者
