托福口语备考时,因为采取错误的方法所导致的口语水平难有提升并不少见,今天小编给大家带来了托福口语备考2个常见误区以及纠正方法详解,希望能够帮助到大家,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
1、TPO使用误区
相信每个备考托福的小伙伴们都会使用TPO来备考,可是在备考的过程中,很多考生都不能正确的使用它来最大限度的帮助自己备考。在备考的过程中很多考生都会陷入以下误区比如把TPO留着最后做,先做别的;对于做TPO没有整体的安排,或者对于做过的TPO不进行总结和归纳,做一遍就放弃了。小编认为,TPO是一份很好的资料,考生在备考中首先就应该开始做,因为托福口语的准备时间是十分紧张的,其次考生应该按顺序做题,TPO有它内在的逻辑体系,考生应该逐步提高。最后学习是一个重复的过程,所以考生应该每个题目至少做五遍。
考生的发音是最直接的可以影响到考官对考生的印象分的,但是考生在备考的过程中,容易因为以下原因陷入备考的误区。①很多考生的发音都容易受地域性发音的影响,比如对”n”和”l”不能很好的区分,这样势必会造成考官理解的问题;②发不出的“th”的音,比如[θ]这个音,很多考生都发出来的音是/s/,也会造成理解上的障碍。③重音错置,有的考生在习惯了单词重音为第二个音节之后,对一些重音在单词第一个音节上的细节便视而不见了。
所以在备考的过程中,考生应该重视语音的准备,首先考生应该在了解一些基本的语音语调知识的基础上,采用一些比较经典的发音素材比如老友记等等进行练习,用音频不断跟读,在读的时候,考生一定要注意把其中有连读,重读的地方都标出来,一遍一遍的读,直到自己可以在在相同的时间内可以和别人说完相同的句子为止。
一、Talk about an composition that is important to you, ex: essay, poem, letter, and explain the reasons.
Sample answer:
The most important letter that I can remember was a letter applying for a job. I had seen this job advertised in a local newspaper, the evening editon. It suited me very much and I was immediately attracted to it. It said to apply in writing, giving details of your experience, your education and when you were available,and you had to give the names and contacts of two references. I was qualified for the job and eager to get it.
When I was finished writing I was pretty satisfied and a little pleased, posted it off to the address given and waited! Thankfully, before I sweated too much, I got a letter after a couple of days, saying they wanted me to come in for interview. I was very pleased to go for the interview and got the job, my first job!
二、Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful. Include reasons and examples to support your response.
Sample answer:
The book that I think is the most useful is OG, Official Guide for new TOEFL. I''''m a book lover and have lots and lots of collections. But OG is of the greatest use ‘cause I''''m taking TOEFL Test, which is a must for a student who is gonna finish his or her overseas study in America. Not only does it give the brief introduction of the test, but it also provides test candidates with practical tips. On the other hand, some basics of English language are offered following the main parts, which is very helpful for those who don''''t have a good command of English. Most of all, it helps me get well prepared for TOEFL iBT and improve my performance on the four skills as well. This definitely leads to the academic success in my future study. That''''s why I think OG is the most useful book for me.
三、Which do you like to read, magazines, novels or poems? And why?
Sample answer:
I prefer magazines to fictions or poems, especially monthly magazines ‘cause they are like colorful flowers in a garden.They are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.
My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn''''t just stick to the same writers and trends. The presentation, theme, and subjects should vary to grab the interest of readers. And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas. I read five or six magazines per month and I buy two magazines regularly---fashion and beauty magazines, ‘cause they are worth reading for their entertainment news and fashion and beauty tips. Sometimes the personality profiles(个人档案/简介) of successful business icons(这里指“人物”) are also fun to read.
四、Describe the most efficient transportation in your country.
Sample answer:
The most effective means of transport, I''''d say, is bicycle, an indispensable companion of most Chinese even though the private cars are on the rise. Each Chinese family possesses at least one bicycle and it is especially popular among college students. Compared with cars, bicycle still has some advantages. First, it is very convenient due to its small size. It does not need special parking space and can be parked almost everywhere. Second, driven by man power, it doesn''''t need fuel, so it has nothing to do with air pollution and energy crisis. Third, most people can afford a bicycle, but not a more advanced car. With so many advantages, bicycle will remain to be the most effective means of transport in China in the following years.
五、Describe one of the most important inventions in the last 100 years.
Sample answer:
Some people might think computer is one of the most important inventions in the last century. But I''''d say television. Since the invention of TV, human history has started a new page. First, TV allows people to learn about what''''s going on in the world. With such information, they are able to get a better understanding of the world they live in. What''''s more, TV provides a lot of interesting programs that many people enjoy after a long day''''s work. Its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and more relaxed. Most important of all, Television has a great influence on the way people think and talk.
六、 If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do?
Sample answer:
If I could freely choose any job, I would choose a job where I could do something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. Definitely it would be something helping people.
Teaching of course is sort of that kind of job---- if you do it properly you can certainly help people. Traditionally in China teachers have been very respected; we have a saying a teacher for a day is a father for life.
Nowadays, attitudes are changing, and perhaps people are more realistic. But my dream isn''''t changing. I wouldn''''t be helping them materially but I could give them a lot of pleasure and lighten their days.
I love teaching and I want it to be my whole life''''s career ‘cause I feel I really am contributing something to people''''s lives, to help them.

The scene is extremely hilarious and funny and make me laugh. Laugh can definitely drive away my lassitude and helps me relax and relieve the pressure from work and study. What's more? It even puts me in a better mood and wards off the depression and pessimism .

I would be able to make friends with those who share the same love for this. Perhaps we can have a little get-together. We can talk, laugh, I mean, exchange our ideas and share our feelings. We all feel like one big family.
Since he is the role model for us, he needs to speak and behave appropriately, in order to set a good example for us. No one can deny that a good example can exert an profound influence on the people.
task1最常考的就是偏好题,通过智课老师的仔细研究,这类题型常出现的话题是人物话题、地点话题、事件话题或者是物品话题。针对这类题型,同学们可以针对一个话题不断的神话,而且完全可以一个例子通用到各类话题中。
如果在文章的开头进行表述,最好是将主体分为三部分来阐述,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。
结合第一题,第二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。
(2)阅读段落中有提到, 但没有在听力段落中提到的信息, 答题时可以不说
(3)半数问题可能只针对听力段落提问, 回答可不提阅读段落, 引用概念即可
(1)描述清楚起因,结果和主要特征最重要
(2)两个例子或试验分别进行描述, 说完一个再说另一个
