大家都知道,出国留学的条件之一就是托福或者雅思成绩。报名哪一种考试就看要去留学的学校的要求。托福考试可不像我们平常的考试那样,也不像四级六级一样裸考也可能过。托福考试可是可能会是很多让留学生头疼的考试。特别是托福口语。像写作听力阅读这些我们在平常考试都会遇见,但是托福口语是有考官在面前,这不仅考你的口语能力,还考验你的应变能力。托福口语怎么准备模板?下面我将介绍一些托福口语模板常用的对话,大家可以看着来练习,多多练习。
一、托福口语模板常用对话
1、Hold on 等一下 (口语中,人们不太用wait a minute)如果两人辩论,吵架,抬杠,你要别人“打住”,可以说,hold it right there.
2、I hate his guts. 我最讨厌他。也有说I hate him guts. Guts 是肠子,相当于“恨之入骨”的意思。He doesn’t have many guts. 他是个胆小鬼。gut feeling 直觉
3、Nuts, 果仁,核,为复数时,意为“疯子”,He is nuts。他有神经病。He went nuts and killed a guy.他发疯了,结果杀了一个人。You are driving me nuts. 你真是要把我逼疯。a tough nut to crack, 一项艰巨的任务,一个难解之题
4、How is everything? (还好吗?) I am just stuck in a rut, doing the same things every day. I wish I could do something different. (烦死了,每天都是干同样的活,我真想换个活法。) rut 日常的,每天都如此。get in a rut,日复一日,天天如此
5、I have totally sold out to your idea. 我100%地赞同赞同你的意见。类似的话还有If you are not careful enough, you will buy into his bad idea. 如果你不小心的话,你就会采纳他的这馊主意。
6、I am just ecstatic about going to visit you soon. 马上要见你,我高兴死了。
7、A dap and dip 打个照面,露下脸就走。
Matt: Are we going to Jon’s party?我们去琼的聚会吗?
Darryl: Yeah, but I don’t want to stay long, so let’s make it a dap and dip.那就去吧,不过我可不想多呆,顶多就打个照面就走人。
8、I would like to get a job within couching distance. 我想找个不用走路就可以上班的工作。Couching distance,沙发距离,就是坐在沙发上不起身也能够得着。这是那种 couch potato喜欢做的美梦。
9、Yukky 难吃,说这个词时还要做一个难吃的表情。Where did you get this food? It was yukky. 你从哪里弄了这吃的?那么难吃。
10、与yukky相反的词是yummy,好吃极了。说这个词时,要不然就把音拖一下,要不然说它两次,表示你真的喜欢主人做的这道菜。
11、I cannot take it any more. 我再也无法忍受了。前面还可以加上一句:don’t push me. 不要再逼我呀。同样意思的句子还有:I cannot stand him any longer.
12、Don’t take it out on me! 不要把气出在我身上。
13、You have my word. 我向你保证(是这样)。
14、Look, I have to got going. 就这样了,我还得干活呢(还得赶路)。这是向人告辞的说法。
15、You’re talking crazy. 你满嘴胡言。相当于you talk nonsense之意。从语法上看,将形容词放在动词后不是很正规,但人家都这么说,也就可以将就了。
二、托福口语话题范文赏析
范文1
The thing I often take up in my leisure time is surfing the internet. The information on the internet can enable me to understand the world better. And it helps me to become a more successful person. When I was selecting which university and which major to take after I graduated from the high school, the internet gave me a lot of useful information about the future of some of my prospective professions. I even talked with several people in those particular professions and got their opinions about it. And I think it is really helpful. (96 words)
范文2
The one that I personally admire the most is a character named Alan Shore in a TV series called Boston Legal. Maybe you have heard about it. This character has changed my definition of what a perfect man is and what characteristics one should hopefully possess. He is decent, a man of his word, one of the very few that I regard as having a strong sense of justice. Yet he is not bound up by the rules and knows when to break them to achieve the ultimate good. And he is interesting and eloquent, all the things that I desire to have. (103
范文3
The most important invention in my life is definitely the computer. I spend almost half of my waking hours on it. Definitely the computer,through the computer I can communicate with the world using the internet. And it helps me to become a more successful person. When I was selecting which university and which major to take after I graduated from the high school, the internet gave me a lot of useful information about the future of some of my prospective professions. I even talked with several people in those particular professions and got their opinions about it. And I think it is really helpful. (105)
范文4
I think one of the most important effects of the internet is that it can help us understand the world better, and communicate with the world in a way that nothing else can achieve. It helps me to become a more successful person. When I was selecting which university and which major to take after I graduated from the high school, the internet gave me a lot of useful information about the future of some of my prospective professions. I even talked with several people in those particular professions and got their opinions about it. And I think it is really helpful. (102)
范文5
The place I would like to visit most is the outer space,the place where most of the physical laws on the earth do not apply. It is interesting to see everything floating in the air. And the term “in the air” should also be modified simply because there is no air anyway. It is interesting to walk the distance in a whole new style. And it is interesting to see the mother planet from a whole new angle. This big blue crystal sphere,from the pictures taken by those astronauts, the sight is marvelous. And I am dying to see this big blue ball in this style. (108)
范文6
For me I think it is the history. For I am a Chinese and we have so long of it. There simply is too much to remember. And the years, the names, the places, the events all became tangled up once you learn beyond 3 or 4 dynasties and I don’t even remember we have how many of them. But I still think it important because what is going on in this country still bear traces from the past with or without our notice, although we’d like to say that we live in a new China. And I think learning history is a great way to understand this country that I am born into. (114)
范文7
I’d like to talk to Alan Shore from the TV series Boston Legal. He is the kind of person I admire. He is decent, a man of his word, one of the very few that I regard as having a strong sense of justice. Yet he is not bound up by the rules and knows when to break them to achieve the ultimate good. And he is interesting and eloquent, all the things that I desire to have. I want to talk to him about how to balance when you want to have principles and yet not bound up by them at the same time. (105)
范文8
I want to read biography books, because although we’d love to say that the society is changing and developing, human nature never changes much. And the biography books help me understand the nature behind the more visible events. I may encounter the same problems in the future and I’d like to know how others deal with them. And everyone is trying to present a more glamorous version of the self and it creates lots of illusions. Biography is a kind of way to break down these illusions and offers the truth about humanity. (93)
三、新托福口语评分标准解读
评分标准:四分(解读)
A. General Deion
总体,即整段录音给人的直观印象,是直觉,是并未用细则的评分标准来判断时的直接感受。
ETS在Soring Rubic中对于总体要求的描述还是集中在“内容”层面为主。
首先,“with at most minor lapses in completeness”表明了内容完整性的重要。
不要以为会流利地发音,表面上说得很流畅、没有停顿iBT就能过关。
ETS考察的是你用英语交流的能力,所以要说的让别人能听懂、能了解你的意思,那么意思的表达就要有首有尾,尽量形成一个complete cycle。
其次,"highly intelligible and exhibits sustained, coherentdiscourse"说的是表达过程中逻辑的演绎要有条理。
在口语前两题的叙述中,我们的逻辑可遵循老美常用的总分结构,一语中的。
而不要用我们东方人习惯的“弯弯绕”般的“暗喻”,希望老美能猜透你的深层“精神内涵”。

B. Delivery
Delivery部分主要关注语言本身。首先是对说话时语音、语调、语速的要求。
“Generally well-paced flow(fluid expression). Speech is clear.”有些同学对这句话有误读。
中国学生尤其会偏向于加快自己的语速,觉得速度越快就是越流利,就说明自己对语言的掌握越熟练。
其实,“Fluid expression”讲的不是“快”,而是整体的“流畅”。这两个概念是有区别的。
适当做一些停顿来突出你的重点,也是语言的掌控能力的表现,ETS才会要求有"well-paced flow"使得speech能够clear。
说到语音语调,很多人就觉得是音标的问题,有的人也怕自己的口音会影响太大。
说口音完全没有关系是不可能的,老实说,肯定口音越纯正听起来越舒服,这点毋庸置疑。
但关键问题是,我们中国人说英文常常没有“重点”,所谓的重点就是“抑扬顿挫”。
大家小时候背古诗的时候都知道,光背字面意思毫无感情地一遍遍是很难记住的,而在真正理解诗意的情况下,带有感情地朗读出来很容易就能记住,而这时候你注意一下自己的发音的话,很多“字”都是有重点的、有重音的。
这是因为你在用自己的思想讲话,而不是用舌头讲话。
IBT的道理也是一样,所谓“把英文说得跟母语一样”就是用思想在讲话的境界。
当然,我们可能做不到这一点。但有些技巧我们是能掌握的。
•技巧:重音
在一句话里总有你想强调的意思。举个老例子,大家读一下这句话“She always loves me.”试试看把重音每次强调在不同的单词上,读出区别来了吗?这就是重音的作用,即使是同一句话,因为重音的不同,所展示的背后的逻辑也就大相径庭。
•技巧:适当停顿
英文说得好的人为什么让别人听起来会不累?因为他们都是在用“意群”表达。
这就是说他们主动把一句话的意思拆成一小段一小段有重点地说给你听,帮助你理解。
所以你也会听得津津有味,甚至觉得他思路非常清晰。
我们在说话时活用停顿是很有用的,短暂的停顿会帮助把句意切成有机的整体,说出节奏感,而且起到引起注意、强调的作用。
比如“The response fulfills the demands of the task / with at most minorlapses in completeness.”我们读这句的时候,斜杠的部分要注意停顿而不能一口气以同样的速度读下去。
随后,“It may include minor lapses, or minor difficulties with pronunciationor intonation patterns, which do not affect intelligibility.”我们主要讨论"minor lapses"。
我们常常在说的时候会出现停顿,这个不是前面所说的为了强调意群而故意做的,而是因为大脑一下子没跟上而嘴里不知道接下去该说什么。
碰到这种情况,建议千万不要“留白”,也就是不要对着话筒一语不发,因为这样非但会弄得自己更紧张,而且你脑子里的空白会太明显,让ETS觉得你思路没法跟上。
那碰到这样的瞬间空白怎么办呢?可以用一些过渡词来填补,会显得很自然,其实老美自己在说话时也会出现这样的大脑延迟,但他们不会一言不发,而用well...”,”you know…”,”I mean…”之类的话来等脑子跟上。
大家也可以尝试着练一下,熟悉这种方法以后就会觉得自己说话不会一停一停,而是很fluid。
当然,最后说一句,这个方法也不是万能的,用得太多的话也会招人厌,所以要自己掌握下度。
C. Language Use
在Language Use部分我们中国学生往往要注意的不是别用词用句太简单,而是别用太复杂的句式。
我们常常tend to use复杂的句式,一是因为从小的英文教育模式的关系,二是潜意识里认为会用从句套从句才牛,想用从句来压死老外。
谁料先被压死的是自己。我们毕竟不是native speaker,当你口语中的句式太复杂时自己的逻辑就会被绕进去,而口语是不可能像作文那样让你回头检查好好琢磨主谓宾的。
其次,老外实际说话的时候也不会用那么复杂的句式,意思表达清楚就好,太复杂反而Chinglish。
比如说:一句“我每天早上都会去家旁边的公园里跑步,在那里我总是能看到很多有趣的我在上班的时候看不到的事情,在办公室上班总是很无聊、让我灰心丧气,所以我更喜欢
每天早上的跑步了。”写成从句类型可能是“I go for jogging every morning in the park beside my home where Ialways find interesting things that I never see when I work in office in whichmy life is always boring and frustrating that makes me love jogging in themorning even more.”但当场用口语说出这句话可能到一半就找不着北了。
所以个人建议我们口语中用从句的话最多1个,防止把自己绕进去。
用嘴说的话,可能是这个版本"You know, I go for jogging every morning in the park besidesmy home. I always find interesting things there that I never see in the office.I feel the life in office is always boring and frustrating which makes me lovejogging in the morning even more.”
从句和简单句结合,意思既清楚,表达又轻松,还有节奏感。
D. Topic Development
这部分说的是我们在短短45秒内逻辑的表达。
比较有效、单刀直入的结构是“总起(直接回答问题)+ 理由1+ 理由1的支持论据 + 理由2 + 理由2的支持论据”,不用特意再加结尾句。
总起句不用长,直接简单句回答问题就行。比如"My favorite city is Shanghai.", "The man I respectthe most is my father, for 2 reasons.”
理由1的第一句,也是简单地阐述第一个支持理由。比如“First of all,Shanghai is a big city that provides me a lot of exposure and various workingopportunities.”
这里想提醒大家,在说前两个口语topic的时候切忌说了一大堆理论化的理由,但没有一个是展开细节来支持的,这会让ETS觉得你的argument不够strong。
四、如何快速提高托福口语
托福口语怎么练习?找到一个专业的外教进行练习还是很有必要的。分享一下我在用的app:培训啦,可以随时和世界各地的Native Speaker进行一对一的口语对练,里面有很多专业的托福外教可以选择,而且还有前托福高级考官,强烈建议考试前跟托福考官模拟测试一下。这个软件用起来就跟打微信语音/视频电话一样,质量很清晰。这个是最让我感到意外且性价比超级高的一个APP了。我长期练习的一个外教陪练是英国的Leila,她不仅口音纯正,而且人超级nice,她本人还是一个摄影师,我也经常跟她交流摄影方面的技巧。
不过大家在跟外国人练习托福口语的时候,我有2个建议:1是提前准备一个话题,带着话题去跟他们练习能让你学到很多地道的表达;2.是不一定非要选择欧美的老外,像有些南非、菲律宾的也很专业,练习口语也不错。
