托??谡Z提高方法:巧用托福口語連接詞
我們先來看一個例子:
下面是以為同學(xué)針對問題“What is an activity that you enjoy doing with your friends and why? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.”的回答。
There are two reasons why I think so. One reason is that playing sports help us create strong bonds of friendship. It creates many opportunities of cooperation if we have to beat others when play in a group.I don’t like exercising alone. It is really boring if you have to repeat some moves.I am really interested in playing sports with my friends.
第一句是總起句,應(yīng)該用表起始的連接詞,如: in the beginning, in the first place,等等;第二句是第一句的解釋,因此可以用that is to say, in other words等等來聯(lián)系這些關(guān)系。表遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系,可以用moreover。下面我們來看看修改后的答案。
As far as I am concerned, I really love playing sports with my friends. There are two reasons why I think so. Actually, one reason is that playing sports helps us create strong bonds of friendship. You know, it creates many opportunities of cooperation if we have to beat others when play in a group. Also, I don’t like exercising alone. Because it is really boring if you have to repeat some moves. For these two reasons, I am really interested in playing sports with my friends.
這樣看起來,用上連接詞以后,整個答案讀起來都通順了許多。
大家在備考托??谡Z時要積累一些常用的連接詞,無論是表達(dá)因果、對等、時間順序等等時,都知道用什么詞語來銜接答案。巧用托福口語連接詞肯定會讓大家的口語水平得到不小的提升。
為什么你的托??谡Z上不了25
如果你也被這樣的托福問題所困惑:
1、為什么自己的閱讀和聽力在老師的指導(dǎo)下和自己勤奮的日夜刷題的題海戰(zhàn)術(shù)中不斷取得自信,但是口語還是無情的在真實的考場中被“虐”?
2、為什么自己在每日的訓(xùn)練中已經(jīng)能在表述答案時做到流暢自然,但分?jǐn)?shù)還是不能像其它科目一樣得到高分?
3、為什么已經(jīng)每天跑到湖邊瘋狂地用英文吶喊,老師還是說自己的口語有問題?
想知道問題出在哪里嗎?
如果是發(fā)音存在問題則需要了解自己哪些音節(jié)發(fā)得不準(zhǔn),或是在發(fā)音技巧上如連讀,不完全爆破等多下功夫。機(jī)會與自己的小伙伴或是native對話,模仿地道的英文。單純重復(fù)而不對錯誤進(jìn)行及時的糾正,只會讓自己在通向高分的道路上漸行漸遠(yuǎn)。
有時候有目的的訓(xùn)練才能使自己的口語不斷進(jìn)步。另外,要著重強(qiáng)調(diào)的是中國考生在托??谡Z中面對問題,已經(jīng)有思路,但仍存在的表述障礙,或是已經(jīng)很努力地去練習(xí),但是找不到具體提升方向的三方面:一是表達(dá)思想空洞,沒有具體的例子和細(xì)節(jié)支持,二是缺乏連貫性,三是詞匯使用不當(dāng)。
1
表達(dá)思想空洞
首先,中國學(xué)生在用英語表達(dá)的時候,論點有余,但是支持論點的例子和原因顯得嚴(yán)重不足,因此,整篇表達(dá)聽上去十分干澀,不夠豐滿。
例如,當(dāng)一個中國學(xué)生想要表達(dá)他非常喜歡一部電影的時候,他可能會不斷地羅列他的論點而無法去挖掘、發(fā)展他的觀點,他會說“I love this movie, and I think it is amazing. No one loves the movie like I do; it is so good and I think it is the best film in this world.”
這樣的表達(dá)即使用最漂亮的發(fā)音呈現(xiàn)出來也顯得蒼白無力。甚至有的同學(xué)將托福口語題目中常出現(xiàn)的一句話“Use specific details and examples to support your opinion.” 當(dāng)作一句沒用的話,殊不知這正是托??谡Z考試希望同學(xué)們做的,用充分的事實去展開。
一個建議的版本可以是這樣的,如果想表達(dá)很喜歡Forrest Gump《阿甘正傳》這部電影,可以說:
“I love this movie because I can learn something about America's history. For example,I know the lost generation and Watergate scandal through this movie. People living in UnitedStates start doubting the policy of government, and of course, how the Vietnam War affected American people's lives. People want to change their attitudes to the war, and look for their own freedom and democracy. So I can have the opportunity to enrich my knowledge concerning this through this masterpiece.”
這是一部非常“有文化”的電影。導(dǎo)演將美國重要的歷史事件默默的安排在阿甘的經(jīng)歷中,通過時代的變遷反映出美國在各個時期的特征和美國年輕人的追求。如果考生可以用“迷失的一代”,“水門事件”,來舉例,rater馬上就明白我喜歡這部電影的原因了,而且通過這些美國人耳熟能詳?shù)睦右搀w現(xiàn)出考生滿腹經(jīng)綸,是一個非常了解美國歷史和文化的優(yōu)秀考生。
再舉一例,比如談到一所好的大學(xué)需要具備什么樣的特點這道題時,會說“The university has a good library.”或“The university has numerous trees.”就此停止了,而沒能有理有據(jù)地展開。
正確的表述比如:
“My university has a good library, and it is one of the largest and most valuable research libraries in China. It has about 6 million items in its collection, including over 2 million books and pamphlets and thousands of charts, engravings, manuscripts, map and so forth. The library's half million manuscript collection reflects different aspects of Chinese life and culture. And the library has grown so large that it could no longer be housed in one building. Two more buildings were built to accommodate the ever increasing collection in the library. Also, the library is computerized, so students can research the information or E-book freely when the professor assigns the new homework, which makes the use of the library a pleasant experience.”
要想避免表達(dá)思想內(nèi)容空洞就可以按照上面大學(xué)圖書館一例來把自己的想法展開。具體要細(xì)化到什么程度還是由考生自己決定,不過強(qiáng)烈建議考生可以根據(jù)自己的生活經(jīng)驗和真實的感受(比如真的對自己學(xué)校的圖書館)進(jìn)行客觀的評價,而不是在考場中隨性的編造例子,畢竟編造的內(nèi)容是你臨時想的,你也不能確定你的創(chuàng)造是否能hold住45秒的答題時間,反而自己真實的感受更容易表達(dá)。所以平時對于生活中的素材,或是一些新聞實事合理積累也對話題的展開大有裨益。
2
注意中西方文化差異
還有就是在舉例表達(dá)時也必須注意中西文化的差異,很多考生在闡述思想時能把中國文化中普遍認(rèn)同的東西表達(dá)出來,卻沒有能夠把中國人為何普遍認(rèn)同這種東西其背后的原因和條件講述出來。
因為美國人對其背后的原因和條件一無所知,就很難明白你想表達(dá)的思想觀點,甚至?xí)J(rèn)為你所表達(dá)的觀點是荒.唐的。比如說,一個學(xué)生在談到在中國用什么交通工具最好這一問題時,闡述了這一觀點“Only the very wealthy people can afford to buy a car.”為了使美國人真正理解這句話,就必須按下面的方法來交代原因和條件:
The living standard in China is still not very high. The average monthly income per person even in large and affluent cities is about 200 U. S. dollars. This income is just enough to cover the family expenses, without any money left for savings. Furthermore, cars in China are far more expensive than in the United States. The cheapest car in China would be about 10,000 dollars. Very few Chinese people can save enough to purchase a car, not to mention the cost of car maintenance.
從此例可以看出在表達(dá)思想時一定要把支持這一觀點的事實和條件列出來,即使是眾人皆知的原因和條件亦是如此。要避免跨越的思維,造成強(qiáng)邏輯的錯誤,這是西方人在表達(dá)思想時與中國人的不同之處。
在中國,一個人下結(jié)論時,如果別人聽不懂,往往這個聽不懂的人會被看作無知,而下結(jié)論的人被認(rèn)為是有高深學(xué)問和深刻語言能力的,這也是我國強(qiáng)調(diào)“博學(xué)”的體現(xiàn);而美式思維更強(qiáng)調(diào)推理能力,即如何自圓其說。
即有時候我的觀點與你所知的觀點有些許不同,甚至曾被你認(rèn)為是錯的,但是當(dāng)你聽完我的敘述之后,你發(fā)現(xiàn)有道理并被我說服了。有意識的培養(yǎng)自己說理的能力,對于思路的詳細(xì)擴(kuò)展有非常積極的影響。
托??谡Z解題步驟詳解
Step1:STUDENTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION FIRST
第一步:考生要先了解托福口語試題問的是什么
One crucial point to be able to speak logically in the test is by making sure that one truly understands the question or the problem that needs to be answered or solved. If the answer that one gives is not even related to the question, then the answer becomes totally illogical. Even if all the grammars, dictions and even the choice of words are carefully said, the whole thing becomes nonsense. As they say, human beings were created with two ears, two eyes and one mouth because God wants us to listen more, see and observe more and speak less. In the medical field, doctor should be able to find the sickness first before being able to prescribe the right medicine. To be able to give the best solution and answers, students must be able to know and understand what the problem or question is.
要讓托??谡Z有邏輯很重要的一點是你要真正理解問題的含義,知道應(yīng)該如何解決問題,處理問題。要是你的答案跟問題毫不相干,答案就等于完全沒有邏輯性。即便語法啊,發(fā)音啊,措詞啊都很好,但是整個答案毫無意義。人有兩只耳朵,兩只眼睛,一張嘴,所以你要多聽,多看,少說。醫(yī)生也是要先找出病癥才能對癥下藥。同學(xué)們一定要先理解問題是什么。然后才能給出最好的答案和解決方案。
Step 2:LEARN TO ORGANIZE YOUR THINKING AND IDEAS
第二步:學(xué)會組織的你想法
I often hear students say “oops! I put my foot into my mouth again.” Students often speak words that they would regret later on once they are able to take the time to really think of the whole thing. Students often end up making the wrong decision or saying things that they would regret later on when they allow their emotion especially if it is negative to control them. To be able to speak logically requires a lot of brain power that is why it is logic. In the book of proverbs it says “as a man thinketh, so is he.” This simply means, students are what they think. During their idle times before the test, what students can do is think of questions, scenarios and situations of TOEL speaking test, then also think of the most logical answer that they can give. It is during this time that student’s brain is functioning more and not their emotion and adrenalin. They can process and practice everything properly without pressure. When the time comes that they come face to face with these questions, then they are prepared to answer confidently and logically because they were able to organize their thinking and plan ahead of time about the answer.
同學(xué)們常常在事后,等到有時間重新回想的時候再后悔。尤其是在充滿消極情緒的情況下,同學(xué)們常常做出錯誤的判斷,說出錯誤的話,等到平靜下來以后非常后悔。想要把話說得富有邏輯性是相當(dāng)費(fèi)神的事。在考前的空余時間里,同學(xué)們就應(yīng)該思考問題,想想新托??谡Z考試的場景,想想如何有邏輯性地回答問題。此刻,同學(xué)們的大腦勝過了情緒。能夠毫無壓力地練習(xí)。由于事前已經(jīng)把想法組織好,一旦面對考試問題,同學(xué)們就已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好富有自信和邏輯地回答問題了。
Step 3:REHEARSE
第三步:演練
After organizing ones thought, students should practice on how to deliver their organized thing king and ideas out loud to themselves and, if appropriate, to a few others. Do it out loud because the words always come out right in your head, but if you have to speak them you'll catch some problems before hand. Most of the time students know what they want to say but when they say it out will be quite different from what they had thought. Do it again repeatedly. Keep doing it until you are comfortable and improved. Rehearsing is also a good way to build a student’s confidence in speaking. Practice makes perfect, it can really give student an ideal score in the exam.
組織好想法以后,同學(xué)們就要演練怎樣大聲對自己說了。如果可以的話,也可以對其他人說。大聲說出來!語言已經(jīng)在腦海中形成了!不過你會發(fā)現(xiàn)一些問題。很多時候,同學(xué)們發(fā)現(xiàn)要說的跟所想的有些區(qū)別。那就一遍一遍反復(fù)說,一直說到你自己覺得舒服,有所提高為止。這對提升考生的自信有極大好處。熟能生巧,這真的會給你帶來高分哦。
