托福阅读篇：
托福考试改革之后，我们发现阅读部分仍然延续多套题拼盘的出题特点，套题数量有所增加，整体的难度上基本保持不变。文章题材上生物占比比较多，也有一些天文，艺术类文章。段落长度增加，加试文章依然较难，建议学生利用好TPO的题目去夯实自己的阅读基本功。很多文章是重复近几年考过的文章，特别是16-19年的题目，建议考生可以利用机经回忆了解考题背景知识。
例如：刚刚结束的9月21日的托福考试，阅读第一篇文章介绍了珊瑚礁的产生缘由，完全重复了2016年6月25日的托福阅读文章The Origin of Coral Reefs；
又如9月22日的托福考试中，其中有一篇文章介绍了欧洲的农业发展，重复了2017年12月9日的托福阅读文章，也与TPO23-2 Seventeenth-Century Dutch Agriculture讲解的内容非常类似。
所以我们预测，在接下来10月份的托福考试中，托福阅读部分的考察内容仍然以自然科学类（尤其是生物地质类）为主，穿插人文科学类（文学，历史类文章）和社会科学类（人类学等）。近期练习中，除了以TPO里面的相关文章精读分析之外，还建议考生能把最近出现的词汇题认真背诵，配合北美考试院内部历年真题文章汇总的精读练习，让自己的备考更加有针对性。

托福听力篇：
9月份考试听力部分均以多套套题组合的形式出现，且有加试。听力考试难度还是相对比较稳定的，但是存在其中一些话题的讲座专业性高，理解难度大。因此，从整体形式看，考试对考生不仅是基础，包括学科专业词汇的要求均有提高。
最近参加托福考试的学员，确实越来越多的人反映，说“托福听力难度提升了”，那这个感觉是如何产生的呢？
其实，托福听力的难度一直居高不下。与2017-2018年相比，2019年 的考试一次会有 3-4套题目，这四套题目中的难度不是完全平均的，而且总体的难度都不低，体现在三个方面：
1. 题材：比如学生场景词不足会觉得微生物题材比哺乳动物题材难
2. 出题层次不是按照常规套路：会有一些反规律或没有明显考点提示词的题目，对于考点预判制造很大难度，对于分层不熟练的同学经常感觉摸不到头绪；
3. 选项出的非常 “绕”：也就是混淆度很高，没有对于题目非常熟悉，没有经过严格培训，很容易落入出题人的圈套。
所以想要托福听力立于不败之地，还是要夯实基础，跟着优秀的老师，学习方法，加强精听训练，系统掌握才能立于不败之地。
在lecture的考察中，主题仍然以生物类和艺术类篇章为主，这两类主题的文章在9月份整个的托福听力考试中占比达到50%以上，所以这两类话题一定要作为我们接下来备考托福听力的重点。除此之外，同学们普遍反映比较难的一些篇章，例如天文类，考古类文章等，基本也都会出现在每次的托福考试当中，所以建议同学们在平时练习中针对这种学科的lecture进行分类专项练习。
综上所述，针对10月备考托福的学员来说，建议有两点：
1. 夯实基础，加强精听训练；
2. 针对较难学科（例如天文学，考古学等）进行专项训练。
托福口语篇：
自从8月10日托福考试改革以来，托福口语的难度总体变化不大，所以备考方法上对于同学们的影响也不大，近期独立题经常重复出的以前的题库，综合口语部分也基本都是常考话题，最经典的生物学和心理学，基本很少涉及很难的词汇和很偏僻的话题。

3. Agree or disagree: We should always tell our parents and friends where we are and what we are doing?
4. Some schools decide to cancel winter and summer breaks so that children can stay in school all year round. Do you think this is a good idea or not?
5. Do you agree or disagree that students would learn more if the teachers assign them with more schoolwork?
6. Some people like to purchase a product they like as soon as the product is available in the market, some however, prefer to wait until the price of the product becomes more accessible. Which way do you prefer?

托福写作篇：
在9月的托福考试独立写作中，我们最关注的的教育类话题占比很少，取而代之的是对于生活类，工作类以及政府环境类的考察。例如在刚刚结束的9月22日托福考试当中，独立写作题目考察了关于环境保护以及政府政策的旧题（重复2015年12月12日）
例:
Some companies provide important products or service, but also damage environment. Some people believe that government should require more penalty, higher tax and larger fine of these companies, while others believe there are better ways. Which do you prefer?
这道题可以从如何保护环境，尤其是减少工业污染角度思考。当然，提高惩罚和税收可以在某种程度上减少工业污染，但是，这不一定有效，因为企业可以有很多其他方法转移成本。此外，其他方法，比如开发新技术提高能源利用率，开发新能源，提高企业主保护环境的意识等也可以很好地解决这个问题，因此，我们可以写成如下三个主体段：
第一个主体段：这项政策看上去有效，但实际上没有效果。
第二个主体段：开发新技术更好。
第三个主体段：推动“环保标志”产品发展更好
而9月1日的托福写作独立题：Nowadays it is easier to maintain good health than it was in the past.有关生活类话题的考察，也是重复了2017年8月26日的托福考试独立写作题目。
这里我们特别重点关注一下9月21日的托福考试独立写作题目，Should spend money to build a garden for everyone in the town or a sports field for a high school?这个政府类话题分别在重复2013.12.20/ 2012.9.8/ 2011.3.11的托福考试中出现了3次，所以我们也不难发现，托福独立写作题目也会不断的出现旧题，这更加体现出了考前刷机经的重要性。
