大部分考生都把大把的时间投在了托福阅读和听力上,却忽视了口语这项本应作为重点的东西。为什么呢?因为阅读和写作备考过程符合我们从小的习惯呀,符合特色考试呀~然而口语有着长期积累的特征,很多人也就认为怎么准备貌似都不怎么有成效,索性随缘了。 托福说白了还是考试,只要是考试就一定有规律可循,评分者一定有欣赏具有一类特征的答案的倾向(也就是我们所说的标准答案) 口语≠英语口才,他们都是一个个明码标价的题。口语也就是说你说到一个点就给一点的分(也就是我们所说的采分点)先来看看OG的评分标准: Raters listen for the following features in test taker responses: Delivery: How clear was the speech? Good responses are fluid and clear, with good pronunciation, natural pacing, and natural-sounding intonation patterns.
Language use: How effectively does the test taker use grammar and vocabulary to convey ideas? Raters determine the test taker’s ability to control both basic and more complex language structures, and use appropriate vocabulary. Topic development: How fully do test takers answer the question and how coherently do they present their ideas? How well did the test taker synthesize and summarize the information in the integrated tasks? Good responses generally use all or most of the time allotted, and the relationship between ideas and the progression from one idea to the next are clear and easy to follow. 从以上我们可以得出,口音只是口语评分中的一个参考标准,除此之外,还需要从表达流畅,准确,用词合理,语言多样性;完整回答问题、逻辑清晰等方面努力,才能获得高分。 通常来说,托福口语26~30分的考生基本都具备了以下几点: 1.语音语调比较标准,很少有发错音。 2.偶尔有一些比较高级的句型。 3.整体回答比较连贯,几乎不会有完全空白的时间。 4.回答声音洪亮,给人的感觉很自信,且逻辑清晰。
